A QUESTION OF CARE PODCAST: Why Aren't More People Using Consumer Direction?
Podcast episode explores why consumer direction, which allows people to hire loved ones as paid caregivers through Medicaid, remains underutilized. Host interviews Corinne Eldridge from the Center for Caregiver Advancement about how consumer direction supports older adults and people with disabilities while keeping families together financially. The discussion covers the need for stronger training, support, and public investment for independent providers in this vital but underused long-term care option.
