If you or someone you love relies on Medicaid or a Medicaid waiver, you may have experienced this: a confusing notice, a missed deadline you didn't know existed, or coverage that suddenly disappears... even though nothing about your eligibility changed.

A recent Indiana Capital Chronicle investigation found that many Hoosiers are losing coverage not because they no longer qualify, but because of paperwork issues, missed mail, or unclear renewal requirements. Families described rationing medication, delaying care, and spending months trying to restore benefits they were still entitled to.

We see this stress firsthand. Navigating renewals, waiver eligibility, and documentation shouldn't feel like a second job, but for a lot of families right now, it does.

If you're feeling lost in the process, you don't have to figure it out alone. Our team helps families understand what's being asked of them and how to respond before a deadline turns into a crisis.

Have you dealt with a renewal or eligibility mix-up? Tell us in the comments. You're not the only one, and your experience might help another family know what they may expect.

Did you know Indiana is home to the largest and longest-running gaming convention in North America? 🎲

This year, part of the Guardian Care community was right in the middle of it! Clients Julia and her mom, Allisson, attended Gen Con in person. They shared this with our team:

"We have been listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and one of the highlights of our Gen Con experience was going to the fan meetup where 2,000 fans gathered. We were blessed to see author Matt Dinniman and audiobook narrator Jeff Hays in person. Julia and I even dressed as two characters from the series!"

Moments like this are exactly why we love what we do. Getting to hear about the adventures, hobbies, and passions our care-recipient community gets to keep enjoying... that's the whole point!

Thank you, Julia and Allisson, for sharing your Gen Con story with us! đź’›

Not every hallucination means dementia. Charles Bonnet Syndrome causes vivid visual hallucinations in people with vision loss — but it happens in people whose thinking is otherwise completely clear. It's the brain filling gaps left by damaged vision, not necessarily a sign of cognitive decline.

That said, hallucinations can also be a symptom of certain types of dementia — which is exactly why understanding the difference matters for caregivers. In this clip, Donna, our Certified Dementia Practitioner breaks down details about Charles Bonnet Syndrome

Understanding conditions like this is part of what makes great caregiving possible.

Today, we're celebrating the people who raised us, taught us, and built the communities we call home.

That's exactly what we're here for. Whether it's help with daily tasks, companionship, or a little extra peace of mind, Guardian Care is proud to walk alongside Indiana families every step of the way.

This Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month, make time to hear directly from people living with SMA.

Across Instagram, Reddit, news outlets, and other platforms, members of the SMA community are sharing their experiences, perspectives, challenges, and everyday lives in their own words. These firsthand voices remind us that there is no single SMA experience, and that the best way to understand a community is to listen to the people within it.

We’re grateful to everyone who chooses to share their story. When we seek out disabled voices and truly listen, we build greater understanding, strengthen empathy, and move toward a more accessible and inclusive future.

Image description: A navy-blue graphic featuring the message, “Listen, Learn. Greater public understanding helps build more inclusive communities.” Layered screenshots highlight firsthand perspectives from people living with spinal muscular atrophy: a Reddit AMA from a 21-year-old man with SMA, the Instagram profile “my_wheellife” by Jasmine Jackson, and a BBC article titled, “Doctors said I might not make my second birthday with muscle disease SMA. Now I’m 25.” The article includes a photo of a smiling young man seated in a power wheelchair.

“Extraordinary Care” may be the same term, but it serves a different purpose depending on the service.

For Attendant Care (ATTC), Extraordinary Care can allow a Legally Responsible Individual (LRI) to be paid for providing care, so long as the necessary qualifications, exemption, and care plan requirements are met.

For Structured Family Care (SFC), Extraordinary Care is the standard used to determine whether a participant qualifies for the service.

Understanding the difference helps families navigate care options with greater confidence. Questions about how “extraordinary care” applies to your situation? Reach out to your care manager for clarity.


Image description: A blue Guardian Care infographic titled “Extraordinary Care: Same Term, Different Purpose.” The left column explains that for Attendant Care (ATTC), extraordinary care allows payment to a Legally Responsible Individual when the participant qualifies, Form 450B is approved, and the care plan lists that individual as the caregiver. The right column explains that for Structured Family Care (SFC), extraordinary care determines eligibility and must exceed the care ordinarily provided to someone with the same disability. The Guardian Care logo appears in the bottom-right corner.

đź’ˇ Did you know? August is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month! Take some time to learn from people living with SMA and bring greater understanding to this rare genetic condition.

SMA affects the nerve cells that control muscle movement. It can influence a person’s strength, mobility, breathing, and swallowing, but it does not look the same for everyone. Each person has their own abilities, experiences, goals, and support needs.

Learn more about SMA and find community resources at CureSMA.org.

One of the most common rare diseases.” On the right, white icons explain that SMA often affects movement, muscle strength, swallowing, and breathing. Text at the bottom emphasizes that SMA does not affect a person’s ability to think, learn, or build relationships with others. Photo credit: Cure SMA.
