Care Story
Beating the odds
Lisa was taking great care of her father, Joe, and made sure he got to dialysis three times a week. But after a while, it got hard to balance managing her dad’s health with her busy work schedule. With the help of a care professional, Lisa and her parents were able to get the compassionate, expert financial advice they needed, and all in Cantonese, her parents’ native language. As a team, they evaluated insurance options through Medi-Cal and Health SF, and applied for low-income housing. The waitlist was 4-5 years for an apartment, but with Wellthy's help, Lisa’s parents won the housing lottery and were in their new home by the year's end.
