Continuing Care at Home, a New Model to Aging In Place, Is Coming to Montgomery County
Thursday, January 16, 2025, 3:00-4:00 pm
Open to Everyone via Zoom
Learn about this unique solution to aging in place that will be available for Montgomery County residents in early 2025. Continuing Care at Home (CCaH) programs were developed over 35 years ago as a way to provide similar services that one would receive in a Life Plan Community but providing them to a person in the comfort of their own home. These programs also provide financial protection similar to a long-term care insurance policy.
Our presentation will review the program benefits and pricing with Wesley SecureCare, the only licensed CCaH provider in Maryland. Other long-term care planning options will also be discussed during the session.
