Many Colorado Seniors and Disabled Adults are concerned about the recent funding discussions about Federal, not State, Medicaid changes, and how they might impact Long-term Care Medicaid benefits here in Colorado. There are 40+ different Medicaid programs in the State of Colorado alone, which are funded differently. Some of these Medicaid programs will be impacted by Trumps changes.At this time, it is important to know that the Medicaid changes imposed do not affect Long-term Care Medicaid in Colorado. If you are currently receiving Long-term Care Medicaid benefits or considering applying, you can rest assured that your eligibility, services, and coverage remain intact. Long-term Care Medicaid has already been funded for 2025, therefore nothing will change this year. In addition, there have not been any major changes to Colorado Long-term Care Medicaid in 20 years, and we dont foresee any changes now. In the meantime, if you have any questions about your coverage or need assistance navigating the Long-term Care Medicaid process, please dont hesitate to reach out to Beneficent. www.DoingGoodForOthers.com/contactus
Spring is a season of transition, and as the weather changes, so should your wardrobe. For seniors, dressing for changing spring weather can be a challenge. Its important to find the right balance between comfort and style while still dressing appropriately for the weather.Here are some tips for seniors on how to dress for changing spring weather:Layering is keySpring weather can be unpredictable, and temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day. Layering is the best way to ensure that you stay comfortable no matter what the weather brings. Start with a lightweight, breathable base layer such as a cotton or linen shirt, and add a cardigan or sweater for warmth. If its chilly in the morning but warms up later in the day, you can easily remove a layer to stay cool.Choose breathable fabricsAs the weather gets warmer, its important to choose fabrics that are breathable and lightweight. Cotton, linen, and bamboo are all great options that will help keep you cool and comfortable. Avoid synthetic fabrics, which can trap heat and make you feel hot and uncomfortable.Dont forget a raincoat or umbrellaSpring is notorious for its rain showers, so its important to be prepared. Invest in a lightweight raincoat or a compact umbrella that you can easily carry with you. Look for a raincoat that is breathable and waterproof, so you stay dry without getting too hot.Opt for comfortable footwearAs the weather warms up, you may be tempted to break out your sandals or flip-flops. While these are great for the beach, they may not be the most practical option for everyday wear. Instead, opt for comfortable shoes that provide good support and protect your feet. Sneakers, loafers, and slip-on shoes are all great options.Choose bright colors and printsSpring is a time for renewal and rejuvenation, so dont be afraid to add some color to your wardrobe. Bright colors and fun prints can help lift your mood and add some fun to your outfits. Just be sure to choose colors that complement your skin tone and hair color.Dressing for changing spring weather can be a challenge, but with a little planning, you can stay comfortable and stylish no matter what the weather brings. By layering, choosing breathable fabrics, investing in a raincoat or umbrella, opting for comfortable footwear, and adding some fun colors and prints to your wardrobe, you can make the most of the spring season.We care for you and about you.At Senior LIFE, we believe in caring for you in all that you need.
