But that scenario is likely to get dashed. On average, nearly 70 percent of 65 year-olds will eventually need some form of long-term care, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. And HHS estimates that 20 percent will need it for more…
Long Term Care can be an expensive proposition that too few people are prepared for or understand. Unfortunately most people don’t think about how they will pay for care until they are confronted by a serious health situation for themselves or a loved one. The worst time to start planning for Long Term Care is in the midst of a crisis because the options to pay for care can be complicated and take some time to access.

Long Term Care is a reality that everyone will eventually confront—either for themselves, a loved one, or both. Unfortunately, Long Term Care is a topic that people avoid and don’t understand until one day a crisis situation throws them into a world for which most people are completely unprepared. The good news is that you are not alone. Not only are most people unprepared, but when a Long Term Care crisis hits it tends to bring together and involve multiple family members. In many situations…
On Sept. 10, 2001 I was in NYC for the day on business. I remember flying in and out of National (DC) via LaGuardia. The takeoff and landings were always great because you would be staring right down on the Pentagon and always had the great view of the NYC skyline (including the Towers). I did not know that I would be spending the last day of the 20th Century two blocks from the Towers– but we… all awoke on 9-11 and the 21st Century…
What would you do if over 100 live lobsters from Maine showed up on your communities door step? Shelly Ealey and the Vinings team in Atlanta, GA figured out the answer to that question by throwing a lobster bake for residents, staff and special guests on Weds, September 3rd. Life Care Funding pulled Vinings’ name from thousands of communities around the United States that had entered the annual Trusted Partner drawing to win an old fashion Maine Lobster Bake. But taking on over 100 lobsters…
Marilyn Monroe is arguably one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century. Her image still graces magazine covers, advertisements and art of all forms. It is not often that a never-before-seen pristine image of her from her prime emerges. But one such photo was discovered in a shoebox of old family photos from more than half a century ago. This photograph of Marilyn Monroe was taken during a little known adventure that occurred in 1954 when she went to Korea for 10 days…

The Big Insurance Secret seniors aren’t supposed to know…. Life Insurance can pay for Assisted Living and Home Care // By Chris Orestis // “Many people who need Assisted Living or Home Care can’t afford it, so they drop life insurance policies they’ve been carrying for years in order to qualify for Medicaid. A system that encourages people to abandon their policies to go onto public assistance is broken and has to change. Seniors and their families lose out from the fact that they have…
Letter to the Editor / Bangor Daily News / July 28, 2014 / Chris Orestis / Nursing homes and the people they serve received a much needed financial boost when $13.1 million of combined state and federal matching funds were released. MaineCare is forced to operate with annual budget holes — sometimes in the $100-million range — and it’s the care providers and those they serve who are most threatened. Although this action does not cure the problem, it does provide welcome relief before more…
The recent announcement by Northstar Senior Living (http://www.alfa.org/News/3938/Senior-Living-Creates-New-Homes-for-LGBT-Older-Americans) that they will be opening a new “boutique” community in Palm Springs, CA to cater to the LGBT community is another sign that as America ages the need to accommodate diversity in racial, religious and sexual orientation is growing in importance. Equal rights for the LGBT population has brought same sex relationships into the mainstream, and that market seeks out products and services that will cater to them. Also, one in five seniors in America are non-white and…
