SUMMARY:Understanding Veteran Directed Care: What Veterans Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:For many veterans living with myositis\, staying independent at home while managing a complex health condition can be a challenge — especially when daily tasks like bathing\, dressing\, meal preparation\, or mobility become harder to manage alone.

This session is especially relevant for veterans living with myositis who need support with activities of daily living but want to maintain choice and control over their care. \nAmanda will cover: \n\nWhat Veteran Directed Care is and how it differs from other VA home care programs\nEligibility requirements and how to apply\nHow the flexible spending budget works and what it can be used for\nHow veterans can hire family members or trusted individuals as caregivers\nWhere to go for more information and how to get started\n\nWhether you’re a veteran\, a care partner\, or a family member helping navigate care options\, this webinar will provide practical\, actionable information to help you understand this valuable — and often underutilized — VA benefit. \nREGISTER HERE \nSpeaker: Amanda Icenhower\, LCSW\, is the Coordinator of the Veteran Directed Care Program at the Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinics (SORCC) in White City\, Oregon\, where she helps veterans access person-centered\, self-directed home care services.
