Our speaker, Steve Lorberbaum, will talk about the ARC of Montgomery County's Senior Respite Program, which can pay for up to 140 hours of home care services for a loved one that can benefit from activities of daily living. This is a benefit for all Montgomery County residents who live with another adult who needs primary caregiving, and can use a respite break from primary caregiving.
This is not an income-based program, so anyone can apply. Attendees will learn about the application process and what to expect.
