🌟 Hey everyone, meet Andrew Wayt, Legacy's Long-Term-Care-Hero! We've worked with Andy for a long time to make sure our clients with long-term care needs get the coverage they need. 🌟 Andy's got some valuable advice for you. He suggests grabbing your policy's summary of benefits and flipping to the section on Skilled Nursing Care. For example, the plan Andy's holding covers $10/day for days 1-20, and $203/day for days 21-43. But here's the thing, once you hit day 44, it's all out of pocket. Considering that average care costs in Waconia and nearby areas range from $8k to $10k per month, it's no small expense. So, if you're thinking about coverage beyond that, don't hesitate to reach out to Andy, our trusted Long Term Care Hero! 💪🏥 #LongTermCare #InsuranceInsights

November is Long Term Care Awareness Month. I have been a caregiver for a family member who did not plan for Long Term Care and that is exactly why I have a Plan for myself and my wife. If you don’t have a plan who will be your caregiver and if not a family member how will you pay for that care? What if you need to be cared for in an Assisted Living Facility, do you have an extra $4500/month? What about a Nursing Home, do you have an extra $6500/month? Medicare & You 2015 states, “a person 65 or older has a 70% chance of needing LTC services.” Plan while you can!

The vast majority of hospitalizations are among patients 65 years and older due to their comorbid chronic illnesses and their requirement for age-appropriate care management. While the aging population increases, nursing home availability and state funding for home-and community-based services have decreased. As a result, CMS care model PACE, has boosted growth. HMA is available to help organizations develop PACE capabilities from concept to implementation and beyond, including post-implementation and ongoing PACE operations.

Strong patient and family engagement has been shown to reduce the length of stay in the #ICU and improve adherence to #ICUrecovery instructions, ultimately leading to lower readmission rates. This leads to better patient outcomes and a healthier hospital bottom line. Hospitals can achieve this by educating the families on the patient’s condition, recovery process, and potential complications, as well as empowering them to advocate for their loved ones. The use of ICU diaries - such as the Post-ICU, the Digital Diary that Cares can help you foster family engagement in your ICU. Interested in learning more?
