Today’s Marion County Senior Service Summit at the St. Vincent PACE facility focused on prevention-first strategies for improving the wellbeing of the Seniors in Indiana.

Community leaders, healthcare pros, and caregivers came together to share how early support, coordinated services, and open communication can transform senior care.

From primary care physicians to doulas, dietitians to financial counselors, the message was clear: it takes a connected community to help seniors thrive.

Special thanks to today's speakers, breakout session leaders, and the incredible panel of thought leaders shaping the future of senior health! Marion County Public Health Department, Joy's House, Raphael Health Center, Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis, Alzheimer's Association

Meet Latrice, one of the powerful hearts behind Guardian Care.

As a Community Liaison and a caregiver herself, Latrice brings authenticity and lived experience to everything she does.

💬 “I’ve learned to be more patient with myself… I’m still navigating this journey of being a caregiver.”

DEADLINE EXTENSION: The FSSA has extended the public comment period by one week to August 15, 2025.

In the original waiver document, the email address "backhome.indiana@fssa.in.gov" was listed as the email address for public comments. This is incorrect and should not be used.

Forward any previous comments to the correct email address: INPathWays@fssa.in.gov and share this so others can submit their comments before the August 15th deadline.

Important updates are being proposed to Indiana’s Health & Wellness (H&W) Waiver that could directly affect caregiving families like yours.

The Bureau of Disabilities Services (BDS) has outlined changes that include:

✔️ Pay for spouses and parents of minors who provide extraordinary care (attendant care)
✔️ Pay for each eligible family caregiver, up to 40 hours/week
✔️ A new Benefits Counseling service to support families navigating Medicaid, SNAP, and more

These changes are now open for public comment through August 8, 2025. If approved, the changes could take effect at the end of next year.

🗓️ FSSA will also host three public webinars to explain the proposed amendments.
📩 Guardian Care families should check their inboxes for an email we sent on July 16 with links to the webinars and comment form.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Care Manager. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

At Guardian Care, we see the impact of Alzheimer’s every day - on individuals, caregivers, and families. That’s why we’re supporting the fight against Alzheimer’s. 💜

📸 Our Director of Nursing, Sharon, is fighting against Alzheimer’s because “Alzheimer's disease is debilitating not only to the patient, but also to the family in so many ways. The more we understand and can treat it, the more help we can provide to both the patient and family."

The 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s is coming up on October 4, and our team is showing up strong for this cause.

Visit our team page to support or donate today and help us raise awareness and funds for a future without Alzheimer’s.
