On today's special Be Well edition of the Sound of Ideas, we’ll look state efforts to keep older adults in their own homes, rather than in nursing homes. What does it mean for individuals and families? What options are out there and how do you qualify? Are people who remain at home getting the care they need? What are the financial implications of these efforts? Join us for this discussion and find out about long-term care options for yourself or your loved one.
