For senior and community centers
Free, printable, in eight languages — the handouts your members ask the front desk for.
The questions that come to a senior center desk are almost always the same handful: who pays for help at home, whether Medicare covers it, how to get IHSS, and whether it is time. These sheets answer exactly those, in plain language, with the official sources cited.

Common questions
Is there any cost, or a catch?
No cost and no sign-up. The site is funded by a Medicare-certified home health provider, which is stated openly on the funding page. The educational material stands on its own and cites official sources throughout.
Can we reprint these in our newsletter?
Yes. Reprint, photocopy, email, or put them on a table. No permission needed and no attribution required.
Which languages are available?
English, Spanish, Armenian, Persian, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese — the whole site, not just a few pages.
How current is the information?
Each page carries the date it was last reviewed, and figures that change annually — Medicare, Medi-Cal, VA, IHSS, CalFresh — are tracked against their real effective dates and reviewed when they change.
