Assistance for Community Caregiving provides a broad array of
in-home services and supports that enable an individual who would
otherwise qualify for placement in a nursing facility to remain in
his/her community home. By providing a uniquely designed package of
supports for the individual, JACC is intended to supplement and
strengthen the capacity of caregivers, as well as to delay or
prevent placement in a nursing facility. |

Protect your
assets -
You may have
spent years carefully working and planning so that you have
sufficient income for a comfortable retirement. You may think that
your retirement savings are protected; but have you ever considered
what might happen if you or your spouse required long term care?
The cost
of long term care services provided in the home, at a community
facility or in a nursing home may not be covered under major medical
plans or Medicare, and therefore can be a considerable threat to
your retirement savings, all you’ve worked hard to obtain—even your
home. It’s a risk you should not ignore. |
