If your loved one is an Independence Medicare member, they get the extra support of an Independence Health Coach. And you get extra support from Carallel – for a listening ear, practical guidance for managing this transition, personalized advice for longer term planning and a healthy dose of self-care while caregiving.
A program to support, guide, and assist family caregivers.
