Nearly a quarter have visited the emergency room or suffered an injury in the past year, and over 20% do not feel fully protected by their insurance. Despite these realities, only a small minority are extremely satisfied with their overall benefits packages.Use a HECM Reverse Mortgage as a Funding Strategy for Care

This document discusses critical illness plans, also known as catastrophic health insurance plans, as a lower-cost alternative to traditional health insurance. These plans offer lower monthly premiums but higher out-of-pocket costs. They are best suited for generally healthy individuals seeking protection from catastrophic health issues like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. These plans effectively lower costs for individuals with lower incomes, the self-employed, or those whose jobs do not provide health insurance.Mitigating the impact of welfare reform in Scotland

Zoe Charlesworth talked about Mitigating the Impact of Welfare Reform at HouseMark Scotland's Welfare Reform event in Edinburgh recently.
Together with our client, Your Homes Newcastle, Zoe gave practical examples of how housing associations we work with are supporting their low income households as the welfare reform programme continues to roll out. Her presentation was structured around 3 central themes, namely who organisations should target, what support is needed and how support is delivered.
Zoe said "It was evident from the discussions around the table that monthly income issues are a big concern for housing associations. The new Universal Credit monthly income calendar function in our Benefit and Budgeting Calculator, an idea suggested by one of our housing association clients, received high praise."

It advocates for joint working between children's services, adult services, education, and health to conduct holistic assessments that meet the needs of the entire family.

The document discusses planning for long-term care needs. It notes that the likelihood of needing long-term care is significant, as 70% of people over 65 will require it, and the costs of care can be financially devastating. Long-term care includes assistance with daily living activities due to aging or cognitive decline. Neither private insurance nor Medicare sufficiently cover long-term custodial care costs. Planning options discussed include long-term care insurance, which can help preserve assets and independence, and self-insuring using savings, though the latter is often not financially prudent. The document stresses the importance of evaluating long-term care needs and options early.Safe Children Healthier Families

This document discusses how the Department of Social Services (DSS) fits within community protective factors for children and families. It explains that before implementing Appropriate Response, DSS focused only on investigating abuse and neglect cases and could only provide limited referrals. This led to many families re-entering the system due to underlying risk factors. Appropriate Response now routes low to moderate risk cases to community contractors who assess needs, provide services, and work with communities to address gaps and strengthen protective factors. The result is more children and families receiving appropriate services to enhance safety and health.Empowering Pediatric Patients, Families, and Clinicians through Legislative A...

Long Term CareBobby Cherry
油
How many people in this room expect to need long-term care one day? Its not surprising that few of us do, because its hard to face the fact that our health might decline. But statistics suggest that the risk is greater than we think. Approximately 70% of us--thats 7 out of every 10 people here today--will need some type of long-term care services during our lifetimes at some point after we reach age 65. And though it's good news that people are living longer, a long life span increases the chance of developing serious health problems. In fact, according to the Alzheimers Association, one in nine people age 65 and older has Alzheimers disease, which often leads to the need for nursing home care. And while older people are more likely to need long-term care, younger people may need care too, as a result of a disabling accident or illness such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinsons disease.

This isnt meant to scare you, but rather to remind you that the need for long-term care can happen to anyone at any time. The need to be prepared is real, and something that you shouldnt ignore.

The document discusses various home care options for seniors as people are living longer. It outlines that Medicare only covers certain home health care if patients are homebound and have skilled nursing needs. Non-medical home care can help with tasks like housework, medication reminders, and companionship. Long term care insurance may cover home care costs but policies vary. When selecting a home care provider, it's important to consider their licensing, services provided, employee screening process, and availability. State-funded programs also provide limited home care but have eligibility requirements.Connecticut Care Planning Council
