Navigating Long-Term Care: Insider Strategies to Maximize Benefits - Good Grief Live Workshop with Swasti Apte

​Caring for a loved one who needs extended or complex care often means navigating a system that feels confusing, fragmented, and full of unfamiliar terms. Many families do not realize how much care decisions depend on understanding the difference between skilled care, custodial care, Medicare, Medicaid, and long-term care rules until they are already overwhelmed.

​In this live workshop, Swasti Apte brings an insider perspective to help families understand how the long-term care system actually works, what is typically covered, and how to advocate effectively for the care their loved one needs. Swasti has held executive roles at Kaiser Permanente, CenterLight Health System, and the Sachs Policy Group, where she helped design and advise the very systems families are trying to navigate today.

​In this session, she steps out of the policy world to translate complex healthcare structures into clear, practical guidance. You will leave with a stronger understanding of your options, better questions to ask providers, and more confidence in your next steps. There will also be time for live questions and discussion.

​This workshop is hosted by Good Grief, a platform dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate serious illness, end-of-life planning, and loss with clarity and support. To explore additional resources, expert workshops, and practical tools, visit www.joingoodgrief.com.
