Support for you and your care partners.

A conversation can help you plan for today's needs and what may come next.

  1. Start with daily life

    Talk about meals, getting out, home tasks, social connection, and any support that would help you stay independent.

  2. Ask about benefits counseling

    If Medicare feels confusing, ask your Area Agency on Aging about health insurance counseling before choosing coverage.

  3. Include care partner needs

    Ask about respite, support groups, and help coordinating care. The person providing support may need support too.
