WORKSHOP
Understanding Home Modifications and
Insurance Coverage: For Professionals
​​
When a client is preparing to discharge home, it can be hard to figure out what needs to happen inside the home to make that transition safe.
Between home health services, installers, equipment vendors, and
insurance limitations, it’s no wonder many professionals
feel stuck saying, "Let’s just see how it goes."
​
And for clients trying to stay in the home long term?
Many assume long-term care insurance or Medicare should cover basic safety changes, like grab bars, ramps, or showers. But the reality is much more limited.
​
Join Aurora Independence for a free educational workshop built specifically for professionals involved in discharge planning, home assessments, and aging-in-place support. We’ll cut through the confusion and provide clear, actionable insights you can use right away.
Who should attend:
-
Social workers, OTs, and discharge planners
-

-
Professionals helping families navigate safety at home or insurance questions
What you’ll learn:
