Questions families ask

Can Medicaid pay for home modifications to help a senior age in place in Wisconsin?

Family Care and IRIS, Wisconsin's Medicaid long-term-care programs, can in some cases fund home modifications or assistive equipment as part of a member's approved care plan, but this varies by individual assessment and is not a guaranteed, automatic benefit -- ask your Family Care Managed Care Organization or IRIS consultant agency directly.

How do I know it's time to consider hospice for a family member in Milwaukee?

Hospice is generally appropriate when a physician certifies a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course, and when the goal of care shifts from curative treatment to comfort. A physician referral, not a family decision alone, formally starts the process.

Where can hospice care happen -- does it require moving to a special facility?

No. Hospice care is delivered wherever the patient lives -- a private home, an assisted living community, or a nursing facility -- and is also available at dedicated inpatient hospice units for patients who need a higher level of symptom management than can be managed at home.
