Matthews presents all the information consumers need to make the best choices for long-term care, such as how to: - protect assets- arrange home health care- find nursing and non-nursing home... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I'm glad to see a consumer guide on assisted living and long-term care. These are big life decisions and we need to make informed choices. The book will help you sort out options from long-term care, at-home care, organized senior residences, nursing facilities, Medicare and Veterans' Benefits, Medicaid and asset protection, estate planning and long-term care insurance. I found the information quite helpful. I'd never even heard of a Geriatric Care Manager before. I liked that the book advised checking the state inspection report on a nursing facility. The Resource Directory at the end provides lots of leads on: State Offices of Aging Caregiver Support Groups Home Care, Community Programs and Senior Residences National Organizations State Organizations Insurance--Long-Term Care State Departments of Insurance Legal Assistance Licensing and Certification Agencies on Nursing Care Standards Nursing Facility License and Certification Offices Nursing Facility and Alternative Residence Organizations Ombudsman Offices Reverse Mortgage and Home Equity Conversion Assistance Viatical Settlement Assistance
