Questions Asked

• Can we buy it without ordering from Amazon?
• How much advocacy is NAIPC doing?  State, Fed?
• In addition, get money for home and community based services to age in place
• It seems there’s an inherent conflict between aging in one’s community as long as possible vs. CCRC’s wanting you to move BEFORE you need personal care, etc.  Please comment.
• Does the National Aging in Place Council have a podcast? Does the organization have a service directory?
• Really not meant negatively, just interested:  what is your business model? Does NAIPC get paid if people use one of the service providers they find on your website?  What % of your budget is covered by membership fees?
