Thanks for sharing Joe! That was so interesting.

little education, mostly a sales presentation

Please do not sit on side of bed. My best friend did thst with her daughter while she went through a trunk. SHE SLIPPED OFF THE BED AND BROKE HER HIP. It could not be repaired. She was 1 yr in hospital and then to old age home. The broken shortened her life. Rest of this video is great. I will use your tips to get ready to move in the future.

Not easy to face the realities of aging and relocating but great to know there’s a service like yours to help ease the process.

We have professors of history running facilities to care for our ailing parents??!! To make matters worse, he’s reading from a teleprompter. Godspeed to anyone who puts their family in one of these crappy facilities.

In order to qualify for Hospice and be certified as eligible, you must have a terminal condition. Next, the doctor has to prognosticate that the terminal condition is likely to result in death within 6 months. That prognostication is quite tricky, depending on the diagnosis. It is very possible for someone to qualify for Hospice, and to live for another year or two after the certification of eligibility, although that is uncommon. In fact, about 1/3 of patients are only on Hospice for one week or less. Hospice is actually most beneficial for patients who are able to utilize it for 6 months. Having had a father, mother-in-law and close family friend who lived one month or less once Hospice was in place, I wish we had realized how close to death they were at that time and put Hospice into place much sooner than we did. Many familieis feel that way. I now work for a non-profit Hospice and I am extremely proud of the service we provide to our patients and their families.

thank you for sharing your experience and ideas on how to deal with older adults

I didn’t listen to the whole video, but hospice was an incredible blessing to my family for both my parents. And yes, my parents both lived much longer than 6 months. My dad was 100% bedridden and was on hospice for 2 1/2 years. He died at 92 years old in the home he lived in for over 60 years. Without hospice, we would not have been able to honor my dad’s wishes to die at home. I feel he lived much longer because of hospice. He had consistent nurses, bath aide’s, chaplain and social worker. They also brought in pet therapy and music therapy. I highly recommend hospice to everyone who is in a similar situation.

Thanks Joe!

I've made U-turns in skilled nursing/memory care facilities (one continuous in and out) whenever I've smelled urine or feces. Any facility that has these odors should be cited by their state's administrative authority. It's unacceptable.

Thank you for your wonderful work. God Bless you and your family 🙌🏽🙏🏽☝🏾🧂🕊

Thank you so much for this video! I really needed it. I take care of my 86 year (young) dad. It’s been 6 weeks since I brought him home. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, enlarged prostrate, anemia, congestive heart failure, and he has a urine (foli catheter) for 2-years. My kids think my dad should be in a nursing home or Hospice. He is bedridden and cannot feed himself or use the bathroom on his own. He is vision impaired. He is on a puréed diet. He cannot eat solid foods. I have to feed him and give him meditation 6 times a day. I clean him and change his diapers and empty his urine every day. I also turn him from side-to-side to prevent bed sores. The kids help sometimes. I feel so sorry for my dad! The only thing my dad can do is tell me what he wants and listen to Minister Jimmy Swagger on the tv. My dad believes he will be healed. He is holding to life by a thread. I stand with him until he tells me he is ready. I WANT MY DAD TO MAKE HIS OWN DECISION ABOUT DEATH AND DYING, BUT WE ARE GETTING TIRED. Do you think me and the kids should make the decision to put my dad in hospice or wait until my dad is ready?

Thank you!❤

Is skilled nursing facilities better than convalesent home

Currently looking to rent a place in Florida and I just keep bumping with the reality that I can’t rent in the some places because of age. I understand why this is done but I just don’t think is fair to us young people. The places I try to rent in are usually cheaper than if I go to any regular apartments. Is frustrating

It just really sounds like you all came across some really awful hospices, and I hate that for you. When done correctly, hospice can be a beautiful thing

I am also from Racine Wisconsin🤗

When it is my time take me out back behind the shed and paint the shed with my brains like I'm old Yeller. You think that Ronnie Regs with his numerous cavitations in his Swiss cheese brain was getting all doped his family was having their pockets run through? So much for the free market. Funny how when his old pruney self was the beneficiary he was like heck yes the government needs to pay for that. Then he was there with a snow globe for reasons and he's all "rosebud" and he drops the snow globe and dies

Very interesting, and after hearing this, I would rather find someone to come and care for me(Companion) or find someone who either lives with me or I live with them. I would hate being forced into an assisted living facility when I do not need it.

AMAZING. Thank you soo much. Extremely helpful.

Can I contact you with a personal situation? Great video! Thank you kindly!

I have a friend in a senior independent living community. She says that where she lives, it's not that the staff are trying to "push" people into assisted living---if anything, there are too many people coming into IL who should have gone to AL to begin with. Adult children sometimes underestimate how much help their parent really needs, or perhaps they are trying to save money.

So it's basically an age discrimination communities? If the US don't allowed gender only communities, race only communities, religion only community, then why do the allowed age only community? This is messed up.

7:26 It will cost $14,000 to $16,000 a month.

In home patient care. Why does hospice want to keep all the equipment that was assigned to my husband from “The Veterans Administration “, now deceased. Doesn’t the patient family keep the equipment for future family use.Thank you

Well, myself I am still with it but use sleep apnea and the asthma nebulizer, Hmmm

Quick question for an off topic issue. For a patient with advanced Ankylosing Spondylitis, though likely terminal, obtaining opiate pain meds is nearly impossible now in NJ. I’ve been through 8 separate biologic medications but am seronegative and not responding to the hugely expensive drugs in the biologic class. Does anyone know how palliative care works in NJ? I’d rather stay alive for a few more years to be with my family through weddings , etc.. but no way can that happen without dulling some of the pain. Thanks!

My mom is 93 and has pneumonia. She was discharged from the hospital to the hospice floor, which is not owned by the hospital, at the urging of someone who came to talk to our family about the benefits of the sixth floor hospice program. It sounded great to us and sounded terrific for my mom because we wanted comfort care for her because she had multiple illnesses and was very sick, almost dying several times in the past week. She has been in hospice on that floor for 24 hours and we get a surprise call from their social work staff saying they wanted to Basically boot my mom out of their facility and put her in a nursing home where they would provide hospice care. The social worker wanted to know how much my mom could put up as collateral for the nursing home. Our understanding was that my mom would stay there in her final moments and be cared for, but they said no, that was not the case. They claim my mom is doing better, but she is not. They gave her morphine because she was in pain, which I thought meant that she was dying. Essentially, I feel like we were scanned and now the family is reeling because we don’t know where to put Mom. She is extremely weak and her breathing is very irregular and shallow, then we’ll get fast. She has Medicare and we signed papers for her to have hospice there and she was excepted into the hospice program, but then we get this totally unexpected call saying she was getting the boot and we have no idea what to do now. my brother and I live here and we both have disabilities, but since the house will have to probably be put up as collateral, we will be looking for a place to live. I don’t understand any of this. We will be meeting with the social worker tomorrow. we cannot care for Mom without lots of help, but we would be willing to have her at home if we had that help. But they wanted to know about my mom‘s assets for the nursing home transfer, which was never discussed with us at all when we signed up for this program. please keep us in your prayers. I never thought I would be homeless because of this situation. We love my mom so much and would do anything for her, but without help at home, especially at night, we cannot care for her.

We are a team of digital health enthusiasts pursuing an Executive MBA from Stanford, and trying to understand productivity bottlenecks in Long Term Care EHRs. Could you please help me refine my understanding? Also interested in doing a one-on-one chat as a part of my thesis at Stanford. Thanks and regards Abhay

Alotement ? risk..please define

I noticed that at the top of my chart, my primary care doctor wrote continuity of care. I am 72 years old and in very good athletic shape. I don't know what's going on. But I have some concerns. Does anybody have any answers about this about this term continuity of care?

Hearing aids can prevent dementia. How about Airpod Pro? Can Airpod Pro also prevent dementia to certain extent, if the user finds it to be effective to improve his hearing say, by 80%? If possible, could you find out for us if an OTC earbud such as the the Airpod Pro 2 (or any other make/brand) can also prevent the onset of Dementia? More specifically, if we use the Airpod Pro 2 as a hearing aid device AND if the hearing gets improved tremendously (to the extent of able to effectively socialize and interact with friends like any normal people), will that be similar (of course, not exactly the same) to a prescribed hearing aid in terms of minimizing dementia? Thanks.

I just uploaded a second video with some updates on the Hospice Industry: ruclips.net/video/b45VxNUIHbE/видео.html

Awesome! This really helped clarify… now to understand how these are funded on the insurance side.

Happy hour!! I'm in!

Nothing will convince me that the big, pretty places aren't after all the money they can squeeze out of the residents. Assisted living communities are high, high profit operations that cannot practically be sued because all parts of them are contracted out and not part of the entity you are paying. Food service, laundry service, staffing, janitorial, nurses, the physician, on and on so that you can't even find the part to sue. They hide it all in a string of obscure corporations so you can't get to them. They wouldn't do this if they weren't trying really hard to avoid responsibility for anything and everything. And who has the tens of thousands of dollars to pursue this legally? They are evil! So look at their financial structure first.

What’s the difference between a group home vs an assisted living (board and care home)?

Very interesting. I’m considering moving to a CCRC and I know that they have assisted living and memory care, but I was unaware that that staff could not, by law, provide any assistance as long as I was in independent living. I’m fine with that, but I didn’t know why the medical staff would not be available to help me if I needed it. Now I do!

Do you help to get like this subsidized Senior hose , my income is 1000 , my age 72, and i m a Citizen . I want house in Merry Land .

Please everyone, be aware that people on dialysis for renal failure are being targetted by unscrupulous hospice agencies. They are trying to convince dialysis patients to discontinue dialysis and go on hospice to die. Why? Because many people on dialysis have Medicare regardless of their age and because of the way the Medicare hospice benefit works. Hospices NEED patients who are going to die quickly to balance out those who live beyond 6 months. Look into what is called "the Medicare hospice aggregate cap" to understand exactly how this works. If you or a loved one on dialysis get contacted by a hospice rep that you did not request a meeting with, they may very well be trying to get you or your loved one because their agency is in dire need of patients who will die quickly. When they see that their aggregate cap is narrowing, they ramp up their efforts to get quick dying folks, and someone who is guaranteed to die within a matter of weeks is a person with ESRD who quits dialysis. It's sad we live in this greed filled world 😢

Great info, sadly they all lie or exaggerate to get you in there. I have seen management companies come into nursing homes and hospitals and destroy things. We were told they go places and do things and nothing, pt was an uphill battle. Now we are at the long term stage and it drives us crazy because if we were close to services we would let her die at home.

Hospice kills people. They claim that they come in and comfort the patients. Thats not true (they dont) they give them pain medicine then walk off and leave them to die. Somebody needs to investigate Collier hospice, wheatridge, co. I stayed with my brother the other patients were left with their doors shut and no nurses (from what i saw went into any patients rooms. 4:56 In other words they were giving patients drugs then leaving the paitents with there doors closed no visitors no nurses going into see them.

They are trying to push my mom on hospice…… a company owned by united healthcare……she is not even terminal

Everywhere the government gets involved will be filled with corruption.

People should die with dignity, at their own time , not be pushed into a drugged state , gurgling and rattling and gasping for air...thats not dignity or comfort care AT ALL!!!!

I like how the hospice nurses always and repetitively ask the patient /family : " Is he in pain ? " they are so " kind, helpful quick " to come , but only to help you die faster ....and not help you live and enjoy whatever its left of person's life"... Pushing opioids into someone who is NOT screaming / moaning of pain is in my opinion euthanasia...I call it " glorified euthanasia" .

Dear Lord I'm in hospice & this is scary.

Aides. Not AIDS.
