Family caregivers play an important role in states’ efforts to help more Medicaid enrollees live in their own homes and communities.
Family caregiver contributions also offset the cost of personal care services and can delay the need for more costly services, such as hospital and nursing facility services.
In this webinar, funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation and hosted by NASHP’s RAISE Family Caregiver Resource and Dissemination Center, experts discuss how family caregiving impacts state Medicaid programs and the role Medicaid plays – and could play – in supporting family caregivers.
1-2 p.m. (ET) Thursday, Nov. 12, 2020
The webinar, recorded in November 2020, also provides an update on the RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council, findings from the new NASHP report Medicaid Supports for Family Caregivers, which will be incorporated into the RAISE Report to Congress, and features Georgia state policies and innovations to support family caregivers.

- Moderator: Wendy Fox-Grage, NASHP Project Director, RAISE Family Caregiver Resource and Dissemination Center
- Rani Snyder, Program Vice President, The John A. Hartford Foundation
- Greg Link, Director, Office of Supportive and Caregiver Services, US Administration for Community Living
