NEWS ABOUT MEDICARE
We want to call your attention to a new video and resource guide featured on Ask Medicare (www.medicare.gov/caregivers). The video tells one family’s story, and highlights programs and resources that benefit and enhance a caregiver’s well-being. In addition, the video and resource guide provide links to services available for caregivers and care recipients through the HHS Administration on Aging, HHS Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and other state and local programs. To view the video and download the resource guide, go the Ask Medicare site and scroll to the bottom of the page.
Or simply click here for the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZa5m9kd_z4
and here for the Resource Guide: http://www.medicare.gov/Caregivers/pdfs/Resource_and_Benefits_for_Caregivers.pdf
Ask Medicare is CMS’ website for caregivers. It is as easy as logging onto www.medicare.gov/caregivers to help a friend or family member choose a drug plan, compare nursing homes, get help with billing, find local resources, and more!
