Navigating senior care options can be overwhelming—but understanding your choices can make all the difference. In this episode of More for Your Money, John Berkley welcomes Patch Smith, co-owner of Visiting Angels in South Central Wisconsin, to explore the world of in-home care. From respite visits to full-time support, they break down what home care looks like, who it's for, and how it compares to institutional options like assisted living.

Patch also shares insights into long-term care insurance, how families can successfully access those benefits, and under-the-radar support available to veterans. Whether you’re planning ahead for a loved one or need immediate help, this conversation will help you understand your options and advocate for the care your family deserves.
