ACORx Pharmacy - Pharmacy Made Easy

36

“50% of Americans on five or more medications are not taking their medications as prescribed.

This costs the heath industry over billions of dollars a year and can cause negative health outcomes or increased hospital admissions.”

ACORx Pharmacy has the answers. By using a packaging system that is free to all ACORx Pharmacy’s patients, all of a patient’s medications, vitamins, and daily supplements can be packaged into one convenient package. The Medication Adherence Packages (MAPs) are sorted by breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime dosing for every day of the week.

ACORx (Adherence and Compliance Optimized) is a new kind of pharmacy dedicated to improving patient outcomes through enhanced medication compliance.

The Medication Adherence Packages (MAPs) are filled at ACORx Pharmacy in Carnegie, PA, then hand delivered free of charge to patients’ homes by a member of ACORx’s team who knows both the patient and caregiver. Trained pharmacists review medication regimens monthly for safety and effectiveness and are in contact with all providers to ensure accurate, upto-date patient records.

ACORx Pharmacy’s Medication Adherence Packaging (MAP) clearly organizes multiple medications in an easy-to-follow format, providing

instant visual reinforcement of what medications to take and when.

Simply stated, the patient’s focus is only to take that day’s morning, afternoon, evening, or bedtime presorted medications.

Five Reasons Why to Use ACORx Pharmacy: 1. ACORx fills, and accurately triple checks each pack, eliminating possibility of patient or caregiver errors.

2. No more trying to reach your doctors. ACORx calls and manages refills for the patient.

3. OTCs, supplements, and prescription medications can all be included. (Inhalers, Creams, Ointments, Insulins, etc) 4. Personally delivered to patients in Western PA at no charge. No more waiting in line or having someone pick up medications.

5. No additional costs to patients beyond regular co-pays.

Maintaining positive, loving communication in the midst of the daily stress of caring for a family member living with dementia can be challenging for everyone involved, but it is essential for the health and well-being of each member of the family.

How you talk with your family member, how much they understand, and how you make them feel when you are talking with them impacts your relationship, the overall vibe at home, and whether they are accepting of your help and guidance or refuse it.

refer to someone who has passed as alive, resist correcting them; join them in their world rather than forcing them into yours.

Keep it Simple: Break tasks down into simple steps; use five words or less in a sentence, visuals instead of words when possible, and nonverbal cues like pointing or showing.

Be patient—wait at least 20-30 seconds for answers and offer a choice between two options rather than asking them an open-ended question or too many choices.

The Difference Between Trusts There are two types of trusts: revocable and irrevocable.

A revocable trust is like a treasure chest where you store all of your assets during your lifetime, but you do not close the lid or lock it. You can continue to put assets in or take them out. A revocable trust allows you to maintain absolute control of the assets in the trust during your lifetime. You can also revoke or dissolve your revocable trust at any time. Most people create a revocable living trust to avoid probate. They may want to keep their assets private

appoint an independent trustee (someone other than you) who controls the trust and the assets it holds. There are several types of irrevocable trusts, each of which functions because the original owner no longer has a legal right of possession or access to the assets. Though giving up ownership and control of assets can be difficult, the significant benefits of a properly drafted and funded irrevocable trust make this document a powerful tool.

Each type of trust serves different purposes, and each can be a useful estate planning tool

An irrevocable trust serves different purposes: it can be used either to mitigate the tax burden of high-net-worth individuals or to prevent assets from being counted for Medicaid qualification purposes. Either way, an irrevocable trust, once formed, remains irrevocable.

Consequently, once you transfer assets into this type of trust, the lid of the treasure chest is closed and locked.

Irrevocable trusts are effective because you essentially give up ownership of the assets in the trust. As the trustmaker, you 46

Merely signing a trust document is not enough to protect your assets. You must transfer your assets into the trust by retitling deeded property or updating beneficiary designations on financial policies to name the trust as the beneficiary. Without a fully funded trust, you simply have a useless stack of paper that has no effect on your estate plan.

So, you’ve been asked by your Mom to be her executor when she passes away. This is an honor.

She’s telling you that over everyone else in the world, you are the most trusted person to help manage her affairs when she passes away.

You feel you have what it takes to do a good job when she passes, though you’re likely not sure what exactly the process entails. Here are a few tips on what to expect early in the process: When she does pass away, you will be, of course, grief stricken.

You’ll spend time making the final arrangements and hopefully you’ll be with family. The funeral director will ask you how many death certificates you need. We typically recommend getting 10-15, though this number can vary.

Another step you’ll need to take is to locate the original will. Remember that you are not officially allowed to act as the executor until you are sworn in at the courthouse. This process is usually started by hiring a lawyer to prepare a petition.

After you’ve been sworn in, the process of collecting all the information regarding the estate can begin. You’ll need to understand what assets the deceased person had. You’ll also want to understand if there are

outstanding debts. As time goes on, your lawyer will help you to determine how to pay any creditor claims and taxes prior to making final distribution.

The typical estate administration matter can take 12 months or more in Pennsylvania. During this time there are many legal steps you must take to administer the estate correctly. If you make mistakes in the administration, you could risk personal liability. As a result, most executors decide to hire a lawyer to help with this process.

Our law firm has prepared a complimentary guide called “What You Need To Know About Estate Administration”. This guide has important information including a “Do’s and Don’ts” list and a sample Estate Administration timeline. Call 724-564-6615 to request a copy.

Income in Respect of a Decedent Taxpayers are generally required to recognize income for federal income tax purposes in the year in which it is received.

However, if someone dies before receiving income to which he or she is entitled, that income is not included on his or her final income tax return. Instead, such income, referred to as “income in respect of a decedent,” or IRD, is included as gross income in the decedent’s estate for federal estate tax purposes. And, IRD also becomes taxable income to the person or entity who ultimately receives it.

The inclusion of IRD on both the estate tax return (Form 706) and the recipient’s income tax return creates the potential for double taxation. Fortunately, to avoid this result, the tax code provides an income tax deduction for any estate tax paid that is attributable to IRD. What constitutes IRD? IRD is income the decedent earned but did not receive prior to death. A few common sources of IRD include: • Uncollected salaries, wages, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, and sick pay • Uncollected alimony or rent • Interest and dividends accrued • Distributions from certain deferred compensation and stock option plans

54

• Taxable distributions from employer-sponsored retirement plans, or from IRAs Who owes income tax on IRD? IRD is taxed to the person or entity receiving it. This can be the decedent’s estate, the surviving spouse, or some other beneficiary.

IRD is reported on the recipient’s income tax return in the year it’s received. If IRD is paid to the decedent’s estate, it is reported on the fiduciary return (Form 1041).

If paid directly to a beneficiary, it is reported on the beneficiary’s income tax return (Form 1040).

Planning for IRD It is important to plan if IRD items will make up a large portion of your estate. Here are some strategies to consider: • Leave IRD items to charity, which is exempt from income taxes.

• Leave an IRA to a young beneficiary, which has the potential to defer the payment of income taxes for as long as possible.

• Leave IRD items to a credit shelter trust.

Talk With A Health Insurance Expert!

Finding affordable medical insurance is a critical part of your retirement planning. Once you’re eligible for Medicare at age 65, insurance becomes more affordable, and you cannot be denied coverage for preexisting conditions. You’ll need to plan carefully to make every dollar count.

In some cases, though, you may save money by delaying your enrollment in Medicare Part B. For example, if you currently have employer-sponsored group coverage - either through your or your spouse’s employment, you would qualify for a special enrollment period (SEP) when you stop working or that health coverage ends (whichever happens first).

If you’re becoming eligible for Medicare but you already have insurance, learn whether/how your current plan coordinates with Medicare and whether/how you can delay Medicare enrollment. There are several different kinds of health insurance: 1. Job-based insurance: Insurance offered by an employer or union for current employees.

2. Retiree insurance: Insurance plans that employers may provide to former employees who have retired. Retiree insurance always pays secondary to Medicare.

3. Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB): Insurance for current and former government employees and their family 82

members.

4. TRICARE: Insurance provided by the federal government to active duty and retired military personnel and their family members.

5. Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits: Insurance provided by the federal government to veterans.

Otherwise, a Medigap plan with a separate prescription plan or a Medicare Advantage plan with Hospital, Medical and prescription coverage are available options.

These plans may include additional options such as discount dental and vision, and may also include gym memberships and other benefits, not provided by Medicare.

Finally, if you decide to delay enrolling in Medicare, make sure to stop contributing to your HSA at least six months before you do plan to enroll in Medicare to avoid a tax penalty. If you enroll in Medicare Part A and/or B, you can no longer contribute pre-tax dollars to your HSA. This is because to contribute pre-tax dollars to an HSA you cannot have any health insurance other than a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

Sometimes it’s easiest to talk with an expert. As an independent Licensed Medicare Advisor, I work to help you and not an insurance company.

In a matter of minutes, Danilo Sangco went from being a fully functional 49 year-old to not being able to walk or even use his hand to grip his smart phone.

Sangco had a hemorrhagic stroke. Once his medical condition was stabilized at the hospital, his doctors recommended inpatient rehabilitation to help him recover from the stroke.

Making the ‘Right Choice’ Sangco was skeptical. He thought he could manage and recover through outpatient therapy, but after some consideration, he took his doctors’ advice.

“The more I thought about it I knew I needed inpatient rehabilitation,” he said. “My sister searched all the inpatient centers, and we chose Encompass Health because they had the best reviews.

I am glad I made the right choice.”

When Sangco arrived at the rehabilitation hospital, he couldn’t walk and had little movement in his left side. His recovery goals: he wanted to walk again and just feel like himself.

“I wanted to feel normal again and do the things I normally would be able to do,” he said. “I wanted to get my left hand and left leg working again and wanted to ultimately be able to work and ride my motorcycle again.”

Getting Back to ‘Normal’ Sangco’s care team used the advanced technologies and equipment at Encompass Health to help him get back on his feet safely.

The Vector, a gait and safety technology system, helped Sangco learn to walk again while the system’s harness protected him from falling. As his strength increased, he moved to the parallel bars, where he could practice walking with the assistance of his therapy team.

A Stroke Recovery Story

R•R

Trusting Himself Again Sangco was at Encompass Health for 14 days. He said his care team gave him confidence, something he had little of when he arrived at the rehabilitation hospital.

When Sangco left Encompass Health, he was walking again and his balance greatly improved.

Thanks to the motivation he received from his Encompass Health care team, he said he was able to trust himself again.

“Once you have the motivation and don’t get discouraged and you trust yourself, that’s what creates the biggest impact on your life and recovery,” he said.

For more than 20 years, North Hills Community Outreach (NHCO) has provided helpful and caring services to local seniors through their In Service of Seniors Program.

This initiative helps older adults in northern Allegheny County age 60 and older live healthy and safe with dignity in their homes. There are no income restrictions and the services are free.

“Many of our older neighbors have limited support and simply need a little help to keep living independently. A ride to the doctor, a trip to the grocery store, a friendly call, or a home safety check can make all the difference,” NHCO’s Outreach Manager Nancy Jones said.

Rides to Essential Appointments and Shopping: Volunteers use their own vehicle to take seniors to medical appointments, grocery stores, and other errands. Susan receives rides to a local hospital for cancer treatment.

“My volunteer was on time and super-efficient, very dependable.

I felt safe. I thank you so much for getting me to these very important appointments,” she said.

Free Rides for Seniors Shuttle: Free Rides for Seniors ten passenger shuttles provide transportation along the Route 28 corridor weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Seniors can get rides to

medical appointments, grocery stores, UPMC St. Margaret and other important destinations.

Donna is a senior who lives in Millvale, where residents do not have a nearby grocery store, and she does not drive. Luckily, Free Rides for Seniors can give her a lift.

“I can count on that every week, so I don’t have to worry,” she said.

Home Safety Checks: Volunteers visit a senior’s home to check for fire and fall hazards, install smoke alarms and make safety repairs as needed.

Telephone Reassurance Calls: Volunteers call seniors who live alone, ensuring they are safe and their needs are met, including food, medicine, and other essentials. If they need anything, NHCO will help.

“We want to be sure that our most vulnerable seniors are not experiencing isolation and loneliness and they know they have someone they can call for a little help,” said Nancy Jones.

When it comes to family caregivers, there’s something incredibly important that is often overlooked.

This crucial piece of the family caregiver puzzle is self care.

1. Sit or lie flat in a comfortable position.

Along with all of its rewards, caregiving can be a stressful job.

The work you do takes both physical and emotional energy, and it’s important that you stay well. That’s why we suggest starting with quick, easy techniques:

3. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move.

Breathe This is the quickest, easiest, cheapest, most available stressbuster ever. All you have to do is breathe.

The good news is that breathing exercises can help you relax. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body.

Breathing Technique There are lots of breathing exercises you can do, from beginner to advanced levels. Let’s try one: Belly Breathing This is something simple that everyone should know. Try this basic exercise anytime you need to relax or relieve stress:

2. Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Self Care for the Caregiver

4. Breathe out through pursed lips as if you were whistling. Feel the hand on your belly go in as the breath is released.

5. Do this three to ten times. Take your time with each breath.

6. Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.

Give yourself permission to put stressful thoughts on hold, and enjoy making a meaningful connection. The mindset of being fully present with your loved one is good for the both of you. That’s why this is a great self-care strategy for caregivers.

The goal is to provide quality of life and to assist patients to live the last stages of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than curative treatment of the terminal illness.

SERVICES PROVIDED: RN-REGISTERED NURSE – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family education as needed SW-SOCIAL WORKER – Assesses patient and family emotional and social needs, develops a plan of care, and provides counseling and support to meet identified needs, and makes referrals to other providers based on family and patient’s needs CHAPLAIN – Assesses patient and family spiritual needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, assists with memorial preparations.

ionship and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement.

LEVELS OF CARE: RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in managing the individual’s disease symptoms. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence or in a healthcare facility.

RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a skilled nursing facility. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the facility.

GIP – GENERAL IN-PATIENT CARE – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This higher level of care is due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required.

The room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided to the

THERAPY SERVICES PROVIDED:

This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

P-PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare.

AR-AROMA THERAPY – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence, a retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility.

24/7 ADMISSIONS – If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice, 24/7, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

MA-MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to. Massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief.

Many hospice companies provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting.

MU-MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals.

A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

patient at their private residence or in a personal care home or assisted living facility. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for crises that require a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

HOME HEALTH – Indicates whether the hospice agency has a sister home health agency that will provide assistance with medically based home health needs such as nursing services, home health aide services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy or speech therapy.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company.

Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients.

PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications.

Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered

through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency.

PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

HOSPICE CARE

Talking to Patients About Their Goals and Wishes Recent articles in Annals of the American Thoracic Society highlight why goals-of-care (GOC) conversations and advance care planning (ACP) sessions should be common in primary practices, specialty clinics, hospitals, and care facilities for patients facing the challenges of advanced lung disease and other advanced illnesses.

“Suggesting a goals-of-care conversation should be as commonplace in a clinician’s daily routine as taking vital signs.”

We want our healthcare colleagues to know that we are prepared to step in and help facilitate these conversations on their behalf.

We will follow up by providing expert end-of-life care in patients’ preferred settings to achieve the comfort-focused modalities and support they want and deserve.

Engaging in and completing these conversations delivers measurable, high-impact results for all parties involved.

Where to Start a Goals-of-Care Conversation: 5 Questions Here are 5 questions you can ask your patient with advanced illness to help guide their care: 1. “What do you understand about your disease?”

2. “What are your fears and concerns about your worsening health?”

3. “What is important to you?”

4. “What do you want your medical care to look like moving forward?”

5. “Are you ready to put your wishes and goals for care in writing so that you, your family, and your medical care team know your preferences?”

For patients, GOC conversations result in better outcomes and greater satisfaction of care. For healthcare providers, they result in goal-concordant care that delivers measurable cost savings for patients who have incurable diseases like advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or lung cancer.

Data cited in this quarter’s perspective (Ruggiero, R. and Reinke, L.), in fact, notes that the inclusion of palliative care—which is built around GOC conversations and advance care planning—saves an average of $3,237 per patient over the course of a hospital stay, compared with patients who do not receive palliative care.

HOSPICE CARE

The True Benefit of Palliative Care:

Sooner Is Better Our message to our non-hospice, non-palliative care healthcare colleagues is that the sooner these conversations take place, the better it is for everyone involved.

Social Isolation & Loneliness in Older Adults Isolation can be common among seniors, especially if they are experiencing a new life event, like the loss of a loved one or perhaps their driver’s license.

If you have senior neighbors, check in with them every once in a while. Visiting with them about their careers, families and other memories is important and meaningful. A trending option is retirement communities with around-the-clock staff and livein managers who make a point of getting to know residents on

worry-free lifestyle so much they wish they’d made the move sooner.

There are significant benefits to remaining energized and engaged as we age. Being around others keeps people connected and positive, which reduces depression. Seeing friends regularly can alert them to changes in a person’s appearance or behavior that may be cause for concern. And of course, activity itself is important to maintaining overall health.

A great option is a retirement community that offers fresh

Families who plan for the future when they’re healthy and capable of making well thoughtout decisions are more likely to enjoy long-term satisfaction with their choices. Many seniors fear becoming a burden to their families; having a long-term plan for their living situation is an ideal way to minimize this concern.

Why Pickleball is Perfect for Seniors With spring in the air, it’s high time we grab a paddle and head to the nearest pickleball court. This fairly new sport combines elements of tennis, ping pong, and badminton.

It’s so easy to learn and fun to play; it’s no wonder pickleball has become America’s fastest-growing sport.

According to the USA Pickleball Association, there are 4.2 million U.S. players, and the sport is especially popular with seniors.

Among players age 55 and over, 75% indicated they play more than eight games a year.

Why Is Pickleball Perfect for Seniors?

Pickleball is especially great for seniors because it’s a fun and reasonably low-impact game that’s easy on the joints. The only equipment needed is a paddle and plastic ball with holes, so it’s an affordable sport to pick up. If that wasn’t enough, we’ve discovered at least four more reasons why seniors should get out and play this spring: It’s a healthy activity. Pickleball is appropriate for all levels of athleticism, and it provides an opportunity to work on balance, agility, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination without excessively straining your body.

It’s easy to play. Pickleball paddles are large, making the

160

ball easy to hit with little practice.

In under an hour, new players generally find themselves volleying back and forth over the net and genuinely enjoying themselves.

It provides a social outlet. Almost 60 percent of ‘pickleballers’ play for social reasons. The most common way to play a game is with a partner against another team of two players. With court dimensions of less than half the size of a tennis court, it’s easy to have a conversation as you volley.

As a result, friendships are formed, or existing bonds are strengthened while on the court.

There’s easy access. Every state in the U.S. now has pickleball venues, with senior activity centers, local recreation centers, and parks being the most common places.

How Do You Play Pickleball?

Pickleball Inc. offers a great online resource for understanding the complete rules of pickleball.

You can find out how to play by visiting https://www.pickleball. com/rules-how-to-playpickleball-s/106.htm We hope you experience pickleball as a fresh change of pace from a game of golf or a walk around the neighborhood.

Drinking Enough Fluids Isn’t Just for the Summer!

It’s important for your body to have plenty of fluids each day.

Water helps you digest your food, absorb nutrients from food, and then get rid of the unused waste.

Water is found in foods—both solids and liquids, as well as in its natural state.

With age, you might lose some of your sense of thirst.

To further complicate matters, some medicines might make it even more important to have plenty of fluids.

Remember, water is a good way to add fluids to your daily routine without adding calories.

7- Drink fat-free or low-fat milk, or other drinks without added sugars.

8- If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so sensibly and in moderation. That means up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks for men.

Don’t stop drinking liquids if you have a urinary control problem.

Talk with your doctor about treatment.

Learn how to shift to healthier beverage choices.

Editor’s Note: This article was submitted

by John Morris, Community Relations Director at Ashton Commons Senior Living. He can be reached at 724-436-0070 or for more information visit their website at www. ashtoncommons.com.

See their Ad on page 175.

TRY THESE TIPS FOR GETTING ENOUGH FLUIDS: 1- Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to drink water or other fluids.

2- Take sips of water, milk, or juice between bites during meals.

3- Add liquids throughout the day.

4- Have a cup of low-fat soup as an afternoon snack.

5- Drink a full glass of water when you take a pill.

6- Have a glass of water before you exercise.

Water is a good way to add fluids to your daily routine without adding calories.

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

Nursing Homes Cost More Than Ever Each year, Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services releases certain financial information that impact eligibility for its programs.

One of these figures is their calculation of the average monthly cost of a nursing home in the state.

The 2021 figure was $11,099 per month or $133,188 per year.

If you think that’s expensive, wait till I give you the 2022 figures. This year, DHS tells us that the average cost of a nursing home is $14,676 per month or nearly $180,000 per year!!!! That’s a 25% increase in one year! Can you imagine needing to spend $180,000 annually for care?

Now, before you draw the conclusion that the nursing homes are solely to blame, consider what they’ve been through in the last year or two. They’ve had to spend much, much more money on protective and medical equipment to battle COVID. They’ve had to increase their

wages to be able to find people willing to work in a nursing home.

So, to be clear, I don’t put the blame for these costs solely on the nursing homes. I place the blame directly on our government’s rulebook that requires people to go broke before they help pay.

We, unfortunately, have a health care system that provides for Medicare payments for seniors’ acute care needs like surgery and hospitalization. However, Medicare doesn’t pay for the single biggest expense seniors face… custodial long term care. These costs are your personal responsibility, they say.

This leaves us with a system that picks financial winners and losers based almost entirely on your health care needs… which are largely unavoidable. Your financial security is a role of the dice.

So, the question for you then is…

“What are you doing to protect your family and legacy from these harsh rules?”
