Questions families ask

What are common early warning signs that a loved one may need memory care rather than aging in place?

Common signs include getting lost in familiar places, missed medications or medication errors, unpaid bills or financial confusion, unsafe stove or appliance use, significant weight loss, wandering, and increasing difficulty managing personal hygiene -- especially when these appear together rather than as a single isolated incident.

What's the difference between Family Care and IRIS in Wisconsin?

Family Care is a managed long-term-care program in which a Managed Care Organization coordinates a care plan and provider network for the member. IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct) is a self-directed alternative in which the participant manages an individualized budget and can hire and direct their own workers.

Does Family Care or IRIS pay for room and board at an assisted living community?

Generally, no. CBRF and RCAC care services can be covered through Family Care or IRIS as home-and-community-based supports, but room and board is generally not covered by either program -- this should be verified per-placement, not assumed.
