Long-term Care Medicaid vs Insurance: What's the Difference?

5 Minute ReadUnderstanding Long-Term Care Medicaid and InsuranceThe #1 cause for people filing for bankruptcy due to medical bills. A new study from academic researchers found that 66.5 percent of all bankruptcies were tied to medical issues. Therefore, the cost of long-term care is often a major concern for families. When it comes to managing the costs associated with long-term care, there are 2 primary options available to individuals and families.Long-term Care MedicaidLong-term Care Insurance Before deciding which option is the best fit, its important to understand the differences between these two types of coverage. Read on to learn more about understanding Long-term Care Medicaid and Insurance.Long-term Care MedicaidLong-term care Medicaid is a government program that provides medical and related services for people who meet certain income and resource requirements. This program is jointly funded by state and federal governments, so the details can vary from state to state. In general, eligibility requirements include being over 65 years old, blind or disabled and needing help with more than 2 of the activities of daily living. (Activities of daily living examples getting dressed, bathing, cooking, and more.) In some cases, individuals may be eligible for Long-term Care Medicaid even if their income and resources exceed the eligibility limits. Long-term Care InsuranceIn contrast to Long-term Care Medicaid, Long-term care insurance is an individual policy that you purchase from an insurance company. This type of coverage pays for custodial services such as assistance with activities of daily living like bathing and dressing as well as inpatient nursing home stays up to a predetermined amount per day. It can also cover other professional services like adult daycare programs or home health aides. Depending on your policy, you may also be eligible for additional benefits such as mental health treatment or respite services for family members who are providing care at home.Pros and ConsMany people find that they cannot afford the high premiums associated with Long-term Care Insurance, and Medicaid is a great option when it comes to paying for long-term costs.  Preexisting conditions may also hinder an applicants ability to attain a Long-term Care Policy. With a lot of misinformation, many people also find it hard to determine if they are even eligible for Medicaid.                                                                                                                                     Deciding which type of coverageLong-term Medicaid vs Insuranceis right for your situation can be difficult because of their complexities. Both options have their pros and cons but understanding them both can help guide you toward making an informed choice about how best to manage the costs associated with long-term care. Need to determine if you are eligible for Medicaid? Meet with Stacy Osborne, a Medicaid Certified Planner. In 1 hour, you will walk away with a Long-term Care plan in place at no charge.  Stacy Osborne, MBA, CMP   Beneficent CEO  719.645.8350

Questions to Ask Any Non-Medical Home Care Agency that offers a ‘Veteran Program’

Does your agency utilize an existing VA benefit called Aid & Attendance?  Some agencies offer help to Veterans but its mostly just gathering paperwork necessary for the A&A... and thats it!  Care typically doesnt start until the VA pays the client, which can take months with agencies unfamiliar with the process.  If you call an agency and they dont know anything about the A&A benefit OR they do offer it and/or it takes longer than 2-4 weeks to START care move on!  Instead, try and find an agency that understands the complexity of the A&A, can start care within 2-4 weeks and has no hidden costs to get started.Do you have experienced VA Accredited Agents within your office to help with this process?  Some agencies will outsource this critical step to local Attorneys or Financial Planners that may have accreditation, but the A&A benefit is just one of many products they offer. Find an agency that has VA Accredited Agents on their team that are dedicated and focused only on capturing the A&A benefit and offer no other products or services.Are there any upfront costs?  Again, some agencies work through an Attorney or a Financial Planner that technically can help you with this process; however, they have creative ways of collecting payment for other services so they can get paid up to an estimated $500 or more.  Instead, try and find a Veteran-dedicated agency that offers this at NO COST OR RISK for those who apply.   How long will it take before I can start care?  Most agencies dont start care immediately simply because they dont have the funds available to absorb the cost of labor for weeks or even months waiting on the VA to begin payment.  So, they will process the paperwork and make you wait until the VA releases the funds.  Try and find an agency that starts care within 2-4 weeks with no costs upfront and that offers a complete Veterans Program Editors Note: This article was submitted by Steve Lee, Founder of Free Home Care for Vets, a non-medical home care agency dedicated to Veterans, Spouses and their Widows/ers.  He can be reached at 303-376-3488 or by email at: steve@curantishealth.com to learn more.

“Let’s Meet for Coffee” – Now You Can!

Whether 18 or 98, lets meet for coffee is a common way individuals invite each other to gather. It has become a key part of American culture, since the time frame can be loose (no waiters or mealtimes to observe), the environment casual and the cost low. Plus the actual drinking of coffee is optional. Most meeting places serve tea, hot chocolate and other non-coffee alternatives.Unfortunately, for older adults challenged with transportation or severe mobility issues, meeting for coffee isnt always so easy. If its too hard to drive, arrange a ride or access public options, some people especially older adults may choose isolation over connecting with others.With so many studies showing the potential negative health effects of social isolation, it is important for individuals, especially those over 50, to find ways to get out, if possible. One such study published in the Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences found that older adults who interact with people beyond their usual social circle of family and close friends were more likely to have higher levels of physical activity, greater positive moods and fewer negative feelings. The researchers suggest that leaving the house or apartment to engage with people leads to being more active.Kavod Senior Life has created a wonderful solution to this issue is by creating a Bistro in its main building. The Bistro is open Monday through Friday, 9:30 11:30am. Residents can simply take the elevator down from their apartment and gather with a neighbor, family member or friend without leaving the campus.The Bistro menu includes a variety of beverages (hot and cold), as well as pastries, fresh fruit and other snacks. Lunch items are forthcoming, and everything on the menu is affordable ($1.00 $2.50). Non-residents are also welcome to stop by and enjoy the space on their own.With this wonderful amenity on campus, residents have a safe, friendly and accessible place to meet for coffee, stay socially active and enjoy their best life living at Kavod.For more information on the Bistro, visit https://www.kavodseniorlife.org/amenities/  (hyperlink).For more information about living at Kavod for either a Senior Living or Assisted Living apartment, contact Melanie Kaye, Leasing Coordinator at 720-382-7833 or MKaye@KavodSeniorLife.org (hyperlink)Reference: https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/broader-social-interaction-keeps-older-adults-more-active
