Justin Tuminowski sits down with David Moody and Jared Morrison to break down how they acquired a 20-bed assisted living facility in Michigan using a subject-to structure on an SBA loan. They share how a deal originally priced at $660,000 was renegotiated after deeper underwriting revealed the facility was being run almost entirely by the owners, creating major staffing and operational considerations. The conversation covers the tight timeline caused by the seller's cancer treatment, the $67,000 hard deposit, the refinance strategy with a local credit union, and the lessons they learned about buying a business versus buying real estate. David and Jared also explain how this deal shifted their long-term focus toward building and serving in the assisted living space.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when Scott Middleton finally signed the papers. The merger was official. And within days, he was already on the road — visiting facilities, riding along with providers, and spotting the same gap everywhere he went: brilliant clinicians doing real work that was completely invisible to the system. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Jamie sits down with Scott Middleton, calling in from Boston, to unpack what he's discovering on the ground in the newly merged Your Health organization — and why tracking your time isn't about paperwork. It's about protection, proof, and getting paid for every minute of care you're already delivering. What you'll hear in this episode: The Dr. Jeeve story: a high-producing doc who managed a nursing home crisis by phone, saved a patient from an unnecessary ER visit — and never billed for it, leaving Medicare with no record of his intervention Why not documenting a visit before a hospitalization doesn't just cost you revenue — it makes you look like a bad provider, even when you did everything right How insurance companies like United Healthcare boldly take 15% off the top of every healthcare dollar — and why that math means providers can't afford to give their time away for free The TCPA pattern Scott keeps seeing: 15,000–18,000 visits a month, almost entirely in nursing homes, with zero follow-up once patients go home The new post-discharge standard: every patient leaving a nursing home gets a telehealth visit within 48 hours, then weekly follow-up for four weeks — no one gets left in the gap This episode is a masterclass in understanding that documentation isn't bureaucracy — it's how you tell your story, protect your reputation, and keep the care you've already given from disappearing. www.YourHealth.Org

Bierkergaard: The Writings of Soren Kierkegaard

My dad passed away last Thursday. In this episode, I reflect on his life. Kierkegaard had a very complex relationship with his father also. No matter what our fathers did or did not say and do in this life, we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and made provision for us in Christ. My dad was reading the "Four Loves" by C.S. Lewis which I did not know until my brother and I cleaned out his room at the Assisted Living facility on Monday. That has given me great encouragement that my dad was seeking and finding before he passed from this world. This episode is dedicated to George Bierker, 1935 to 2026.

Starting the conversation about assisted living isn't easy, especially when your parent doesn't want to have it. In this episode, Shari Ross shares her SIMPLE framework, also featured in her book and workbook Senior Living Made Simple, to help guide each step: Support, Information, Matching, Preparation, Letting Go, and Engagement. She also shares how to move from resistance to readiness with compassion, clarity, and respect. We talk about how to recognize when it's time to speak up, how to begin the conversation without creating conflict, and how to find the balance between helping and pushing too far. You'll also learn what to look for in assisted living and how to approach the process in a way that preserves your parent's independence and dignity. As she reminds us, “Planning ahead doesn't mean giving up independence—it means preserving choice.” Whether you're just starting to think about next steps or already facing difficult conversations, this episode offers guidance, reassurance, and a path forward.

What's the Latest on the Long-Term Care Front? Episode 376 – With seemingly everything related to health care, the cost of long-term care keeps going up, which may eat into your savings if needed. What are your options to hedge that risk? More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 376 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: what's the latest on the long-term care front? Long-Term Care, or LTC as we will often refer to it in this podcast, is a set of services designed to help people who are no longer able to perform everyday personal tasks on their own. These services are designed to help people out with what are called the “Activities of Daily Living,” such as bathing, dressing, eating, etc. People very often need LTC help later in life due to chronic illness, disability or cognitive issues such as Alzheimer's. The estimate is that 60 percent of Americans will eventually need help with things like “getting dressed, driving to appointments, or making meals,” according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.[1] Medicare coverage only goes so far when it comes to LTC. Through Medicare parts A & B, skilled nursing care generally runs out after 100 days.[2] Without supplemental coverage, you're on your own after that. As you might expect, the cost of care varies greatly depending on what type of need you have and where you live. Overall, the cost of LTC has been going up for decades and shows no sign of stopping. In 2025, the average annual cost of assisted living was approximately $73,000,[3] while the average annual cost for a private room in a nursing home was approximately $137,000.[4] How long is “long term?” The average nursing home stay is 485 days, or about 16 months.[5] But 28.5 percent of those who need care—whether in a nursing home or not—will need it for more than five years.[6] Finding a way to protect yourself against the rising cost of LTC is quite a challenge, and there are several different types of LTC insurance. Some people associate LTC insurance with nursing home care, but it also encompasses home health care. It stands to reason that most seniors, if given the choice, would prefer staying at home to moving into a form of nursing facility. So, in general, LTC insurance often covers things like homemaker services, skilled nursing care, and personal care services performed in the home. Because it's so expensive, many individuals will choose to insure against LTC expenses. But where do you begin? It can be a confusing journey. Here are some of the options people have: A “standalone” LTC policy. An LTC policy could be likened to car insurance or most term life insurance policies. That is, you pay premiums to protect yourself from adverse developments, and the premiums may increase over time. If you never have a claim, that money is essentially gone. With a permanent life insurance policy, you pay for a product that may result in cash value access for expenses during your lifetime, and return a benefit to heirs when you eventually pass.   The number of major companies offering standalone LTC policies has dwindled to just a handful in the last few years.[7] One reason for this is the significant amount of inflation that has occurred when it comes to health care expenses. A standalone policy is subject to unpredictable premium increases every year, and over time, the cost can end up being significantly higher than the initial premium. Another reason is that, through positive medical developments, people are living longer, requiring carriers to pay long term care claims for longer than their products have historically been priced for. A life insurance policy with an LTC rider. Some life insurance companies will offer an LTC rider to their life insurance policies. This is an optional add-on feature that comes at a cost, with the amount varying from company to company. This option is primarily used for people who need life insurance. Every dollar paid out by the LTC rider will reduce the remaining death benefit to heirs. While costs may still be significant, if the LTC rider is never used, there is still that death benefit to heirs, helping to justify the total cost. Chronic illness rider. Some insurance companies offer an alternative: a chronic illness rider. In general, a chronic illness rider allows the insured to get early access to their policy's death benefit when they are faced with a chronic illness, that is, any illness from which they are not expected to recover from during their lifetime. As with an LTC rider, chronic illness rider use would reduce the policy's death benefit when you eventually pass.   Many companies offer a chronic illness rider at no additional premium cost. And if you need to use the benefit, it is generally tax-free. If you don't use it, your full death benefit remains available. Self-insurance. This is always an option. You could simply pay the costs out of your own resources. The problem is that future costs could become astronomical, causing you to run out of money. If you end up never needing any form of long-term care though, you would theoretically be better off… But is it worth the risk? Getting old is typically never easy and long-term care is just one piece of the puzzle to consider, along with Medicare supplements, health care directives, powers of attorney, etc. Rising health care costs have made the puzzle much more difficult to solve and spending quality time to carefully consider the risks as they pertain to your individual situation is important. The sooner you start planning, the better. And as you move forward, involving a qualified legal representative well-versed in long-term care as well as national laws and the laws in your state which can vary, is highly recommended.
