Have you heard about the Michigan Choice Waiver Program?
Well, it may just be the perfect thing for you or your loved one. Jenny Jarvis from our local Area Agency on Aging is joining us on the show today to discuss the program and how to qualify. It’s has a pretty long waitlist, but those who qualify enjoy the program for as long as they need it and qualify.

Q&A
In each episode, I take questions from listeners. If you have any questions that you want answered, feel free to email us at askchris@thechrisberryshow.com. Here are the questions I covered in this episode:
- Dennis asked: “How do we determine which financial firm is best for managing our money?”
- Cody asked: “Should I increase my monthly percentage into my Roth 401K for the remainder of the year?”
- Laura asked: “Does my dad automatically have power of attorney over my mom since she has dementia? How do I go about getting power of attorney to have her moved so she can be in a nursing home closer to me?”
