| How:
|
To most, the fees for
adult day services are a bargain. Funding assistance is
also available through various federal, state, and
county programs, or through private donations to our
Adult Day services Sponsorship Program. Employed family
members should ask their Personnel Office about
dependent care reimbursement benefits. Also, some
long-term care insurance policies cover adult day
services. |
|
|
| To accommodate caregiving families who want to
know more about our services, Newel Post and Waverly Center staff also
can visit families at home, if requested, to tell them more about the
services, answer questions, and to learn more about what the individual
and family want. |
