Plans to add broad non-medical benefits to Medicare Advantage (MA) will greatly impact people wanting to age at home. Journalist Philip Moeller recently covered what these changes mean in a PBS NewsHour column, featuring a quote from Julie Smith.

Smith, president and CEO of Homewatch CareGivers, explains that these benefits will boost the in-home care services industry.
