Welcome to episode 222 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, we lead with a light flurry of UK sanctions activity, including the designation of six individuals under the Sudan regime and an update to general licensing following the merger of Bank FC Otkritie, while a new analysis explores how cryptocurrency is being leveraged to sustain Russia's war economy. In fraud developments, we cover a nationwide US marriage-fraud and bribery indictment and in the UK a warning regarding AI voice cloning used to hijack direct debits. We also examine a Home Office evaluation of the National Fraud Squad, and a MONEYVAL assessment of Serbia. Finally, the CCRC has referred five City-trader convictions back to the Court of Appeal, and a significant shift in US policy toward lighter-touch financial regulation and expanded leniency for cooperative corporations.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.

Send us a textDr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to discuss some of the pitfalls of traditional healthcare in America and how clinical research can bridge those gaps. The doctor and clinical researcher talks about a family member recieving care in a world-class medical facility, and that even in this setting there is confusion about who is coordinating the patient's care. He contrasts this experience with clinical research, where there are fewer patients and protocol-specified individuals who are required to keep the patient front-of-mind and take charge of medical care.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

She was once called "Australia’s worst female serial killer." Kathleen Folbigg spent 20 years imprisoned for the deaths of her four children, convicted by a flawed system. In 2023, science proved she was innocent, leading to an immediate pardon and release. In this deeply personal interview, Kathleen speaks about the trauma of her long ordeal and the bittersweet reality of her freedom. She reveals what it was like to be suddenly released, the pain of seeing her private diaries weaponised, and the enduring grief of belonging to the "unfortunate club of the childless mum." This is a powerful, raw conversation about survival and the lifelong consequences of a devastating miscarriage of justice.

In a world where many approach retirement with caution, Rita Collins stands out as a beacon of proactive living and boundless curiosity. A former teacher, entrepreneur, and world traveler, Rita recently shared her remarkable story in an interview with Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community. Now a resident at Roland Park Place, a life plan community in Baltimore, Maryland, Rita's path to this new chapter is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Her tale weaves together global moves, innovative businesses, and a deep commitment to community—offering valuable lessons for anyone navigating the complexities of aging.Rita's story begins with a lifelong love of exploration. From her twenties onward, she has lived in eight U.S. states and two countries overseas, embracing change as an opportunity rather than a challenge. Her professional life has been equally diverse in her sixties, she sought a fresh adventure. Living in rural Montana—a town of just 1,500 people—she dreamed of opening a bookstore. Recognizing that a traditional brick-and-mortar shop wouldn't thrive in such a small market, she innovated: a traveling bookstore housed in a van. This wasn't Rita's first foray into entrepreneurship. In the early 1990s, shortly after moving to Montana, she co-founded a nonprofit to address gaps in arts, adult education, and social services in her community. Rita's move to Montana in the early 1990s stemmed from visits to friends and the affordability of land at the time. She and her then-husband bought property while living in Portland, Oregon, eventually relocating full-time. There, she taught at a community college, built deep community ties through her nonprofit, and immersed herself in local life. But after a decade, personal challenges—a failing marriage and the events of 9/11—prompted another shift. Seeking a fresh start, she took an eight year overseas adventure with teaching job in Romania (two years), then in the Czech Republic (six years). Upon returning to Montana, Rita launched her traveling bookstore, which became a success. Rita approached her relocation with the same planning prowess she applies to everything. She created a spreadsheet of criteria: an urban setting for walkability, a nonprofit organization for financial stability, onsite management, and no affiliation with a large corporation. As a lifeplan/continuing care retirement community (CCRC), it needed to offer seamless transitions to assisted living or memory care if needed—eliminating future upheavals.Leveraging her bookstore travels, Rita visited potential communities in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Baltimore. Roland Park Place emerged as the clear winner. "Hands down, it met all my criteria," she says. Life at Roland Park Place balances independence with community support. With about 250 residents in independent living, spanning ages from the sixties to over 100, the population is diverse in interests and backgrounds. Rita appreciates the arts programming—concerts, painting, music—and the administration's responsiveness. For Rita, the move was about more than convenience; it was about building a network proactively. As a solo ager without close family ties mentioned in the interview, she values having a ready community for potential health changes. "I wanted to develop that community before it was a necessity," she explains, contrasting it with those who move later in life and struggle to form bonds. The CCRC model ensures continuity: "All of that is on campus and would be seamless."At the heart of Rita's story is St. Rita's Traveling Bookstore (/saintritasbooks.com), now in its 11th year. Housed in a high-top van stocked with 700-800 volumes organized by category, it's a portable haven for readers.

Join us as we sit down with John Fink, Senior Research Associate and Program Lead at CCRC, and one of the authors of More Essential Than Ever: Community College Pathways to Educational and Career Success, to explore a decade of research on guided pathways reforms. We'll discuss how state and institutional leaders can implement proven strategies to help more community college students complete their programs on time and graduate career-ready. From accountability for post-completion outcomes to reimagining dual enrollment, discover actionable insights for transforming community college success rates and ensuring students achieve upward mobility through affordable, high-quality education.

Private Equity in Youth Sports, Canada's impact on the Buffalo Bills, issues with Tesla, and when to take RMDs. Plus a competitor to FICO may help with that house purchase, even though new buyers are disappearing. Plus plus fallout from a nursing home bankruptcy and a lawsuit over beneficiary designations.

When it comes to making the move to a senior living community, few stories are as engaging and instructive as that of Dick Stohr. Recently interviewed by Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community, Dick shared his candid experiences—from his distinguished military and professional career to his eventual decision, alongside his wife Beverly, to embrace life in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) at Westminster at Lake Ridge in Northern Virginia.A Life of Service and ReinventionDick's journey began in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was born, educated, and married. His early career saw him serve as a naval flight officer, flying P-3 aircraft and participating in historic missions, including Apollo astronaut recoveries. After a decade in the Navy, Dick transitioned to a career as a Department of Defense contractor, rising through the ranks to become a company president.But Dick's story is also one of creative reinvention. Inspired by a Parade Magazine article, he rekindled his childhood love of yo-yos, eventually launching a 19-year career teaching “Yo-Yo Fun and the Science of Spin” in schools and libraries. When educational enrichment programs waned, Dick found a new passion in woodturning, later expanding into knife and scissor sharpening with his brother—the “Snippy Bros.”The Decision to Move: Planning with PurposeLike many, Dick and Beverly postponed the decision to move to a senior living community, revisiting the idea every few years. However, in their mid-seventies, they resolved not to leave the burden of difficult decisions to their sons, as their own parents had. “We wanted to make the move when we could choose, not when the family had to drag us out,” Dick explained.Their search was thorough, spanning communities from Fredericksburg to Winchester and Arlington. The Stohrs prioritized a CCRC model that would provide seamless transitions between independent living, assisted living, nursing, and memory care—avoiding the disruption of moving between separate organizations as needs changed. Ultimately, the not-for-profit model and familial atmosphere at Westminster Lake Ridge stood out. “This community acts like a family,” Dick noted, highlighting the supportive environment and integrated care.Downsizing: The Emotional ChallengeAfter 35 years in their family home, the move was daunting. Dick emphasized the importance of “taking emotion out of the process,” coining the acronym “STUFF” for “Superfluous Things Underfoot Forever.” The couple used professional services to declutter, donate, and store items—though Dick admits some yo-yos and papers still linger in storage.Life at Westminster at Lake Ridge: Ten Years OnNow celebrating a decade at Westminster at Lake Ridge, Dick describes a vibrant life enriched by community and purpose. He found a woodworking shop and a tribe of fellow enthusiasts, continuing his passion for woodworking and helping others. The Stohrs value the support system, social connections, and peace of mind that come with living in a community that feels like home.Dick's story is a testament to the power of preparation, adaptability, and embracing new chapters with intention. For those considering a similar move, his advice is clear: plan ahead, involve your family, and focus on what truly matters—community, purpose, and peace of mind.Watch the recording https://www.retirementlivingsourcebook.com/videos/making-the-move-real-life-insights-into-life-plan-community-living

In this episode of LawPod, hosts Kane Miller and Ella Murphy, both law students, interview Northern Ireland Commissioner Johanna Higgins and John Curtis, in-house counsel at the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). They discuss their backgrounds and roles at the CCRC, explaining how the Commission investigates potential miscarriages of justice. Johanna and John elaborate on the CCRC's powers under the Criminal Appeal Act 1995, including obtaining information from public and private entities, and their ability to have cases re-examined by the courts. They highlight specific cases, the application process, challenges faced, and the importance of raising awareness about the CCRC's work, especially among legal professionals, students, and the general public.

Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC explore the latest developments in the case of Lucy Letby, as her new barrister holds a second press conference revealing the conclusion of 14 experts that every baby died either as a result of natural causes or because of medical neglect.  Do these new medical opinions ‘demolish' the evidence of the prosecution experts, as her new barrister claims? Or, as some allege, has this new analysis taken place in a vacuum, ignoring  all the circumstantial evidence presented to the jury confirming the Crown's expert testimony that these infants were deliberately harmed, and that their attacker was  Lucy Letby? Ken and Tim also consider the stance of the CCRC in the face of what will certainly be a robust prosecution response to this new material, and look at the approach likely to be taken by the Court of Appeal if the case is referred back to it by the CCRC.  Finally the discussion turns to the increasingly concerted attacks from within government on Richard Hermer, the Attorney General. What does this obviously coordinated campaign of hostile briefing tell us about the relationship between a new Labour administration led by a former human rights barrister, and the law?

A major new study challenges key evidence used to convict Lucy Letby, the former nurse serving 15 whole-life sentences for the murder and attempted murder of infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The report, authored by international experts, states that there is "no scientific justification whatsoever" for the claim that Letby deliberately poisoned babies with insulin and highlights a "very strong level of reasonable doubt" about her convictions. Professor Geoff Chase, a world-leading expert on insulin's effects on pre-term babies, said it was "very unlikely" that lethal doses were administered, contradicting the prosecution's case. The trial hinged on blood test results showing low blood sugar, high insulin, and low C-peptide levels. However, a detailed review of the babies' medical records by experts in neonatology and bioengineering found that the data was "inconsistent" with insulin poisoning. The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is now formally reviewing the case after a panel of 14 experts found no evidence of murder or deliberate harm. Senior Conservative MP (member of parliament) Sir David Davis has called the case "one of the major injustices of modern times." During Letby's trial, prosecutor Nick Johnson KC (kings court) told jurors the nurse "undoubtedly" poisoned two infants eight months apart by adding synthetic insulin to their feeding bags. However, the 100-page study, authored by Chase and chemical engineering expert Helen Shannon, points out that low blood sugar is "not uncommon" in premature infants. The babies also lacked symptoms typically associated with insulin poisoning, such as seizures or heart arrhythmia. The report, citing over 250 peer-reviewed papers, criticizes the reliability of the immunoassay test used to detect insulin. Shannon stated, "There is no scientific justification whatsoever for the prosecution's claim that there was 'no doubt that these were poisonings.'" She argued that a more forensic test should have been used. The insulin charges were crucial to Letby's conviction, as they were considered the strongest evidence of deliberate harm. Letby's defense lawyer, Benjamin Myers KC, told jurors he could not dispute the test results because the original blood samples had been disposed of. A CPS spokesperson defended the verdicts, stating, "Two juries and three appeal court judges have reviewed a multitude of different strands of evidence against Lucy Letby." The Court of Appeal also rejected her request for an appeal in May 2024. With the CCRC now reviewing the case, the new expert findings raise serious concerns about the reliability of the medical evidence presented at trial. #LucyLetby #JusticeForLucyLetby #LegalReform #WrongfulConviction #MedicalEvidence #InsulinPoisoning #CriminalJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

However, the 100-page study, authored by Chase and chemical engineering expert Helen Shannon, points out that low blood sugar is "not uncommon" in premature infants. The babies also lacked symptoms typically associated with insulin poisoning, such as seizures or heart arrhythmia. The report, citing over 250 peer-reviewed papers, criticizes the reliability of the immunoassay test used to detect insulin. Shannon stated, "There is no scientific justification whatsoever for the prosecution's claim that there was 'no doubt that these were poisonings.'" She argued that a more forensic test should have been used. The insulin charges were crucial to Letby's conviction, as they were considered the strongest evidence of deliberate harm. Letby's defense lawyer, Benjamin Myers KC, told jurors he could not dispute the test results because the original blood samples had been disposed of. A CPS spokesperson defended the verdicts, stating, "Two juries and three appeal court judges have reviewed a multitude of different strands of evidence against Lucy Letby." The Court of Appeal also rejected her request for an appeal in May 2024. With the CCRC now reviewing the case, the new expert findings raise serious concerns about the reliability of the medical evidence presented at trial. #LucyLetby #JusticeForLucyLetby #LegalReform #WrongfulConviction #MedicalEvidence #InsulinPoisoning #CriminalJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A major new study challenges key evidence used to convict Lucy Letby, the former nurse serving 15 whole-life sentences for the murder and attempted murder of infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The report, authored by international experts, states that there is "no scientific justification whatsoever" for the claim that Letby deliberately poisoned babies with insulin and highlights a "very strong level of reasonable doubt" about her convictions. Professor Geoff Chase, a world-leading expert on insulin's effects on pre-term babies, said it was "very unlikely" that lethal doses were administered, contradicting the prosecution's case. The trial hinged on blood test results showing low blood sugar, high insulin, and low C-peptide levels. However, a detailed review of the babies' medical records by experts in neonatology and bioengineering found that the data was "inconsistent" with insulin poisoning. The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is now formally reviewing the case after a panel of 14 experts found no evidence of murder or deliberate harm.

Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by guest Chris Henley KC, to explore the terrible miscarriage of justice which led to Andrew Malkinson spending 17 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit.  Looking at Chris's report into the scandal, they examine the failures of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, and  its atrocious mishandling of crucial DNA evidence.  What lay behind the CCRC's reluctance to revisit this wrongful conviction, and why did it betray its founding mission?  They also consider the danger of relying on identification evidence, and the Court of Appeal's much overdue quashing of Malkinson's conviction, which it delivered with no apology. Why is there still such cultural resistance to the idea that innocent people can be convicted? And why aren't Court of Appeal judges providing a stronger lead in uncovering injustice?

The job of the Criminal Cases Review Commission - or CCRC - is to investigate cases where people may have been wrongfully convicted of a crime in the criminal courts of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The CCRC has faced criticism over it's actions - or lack of action - in a high-profile miscarriage of justice. In April this year, the CCRC offered an unreserved apology to Andrew Malkinson. He spent 17 years in prison following conviction for a rape in Salford that he didn't commit. DNA testing which led to his conviction being quashed was not commissioned by the CCRC, and in July, an independent review found that he could have been freed five years after receiving a life sentence in 2003. After the report was published, the Justice Secretary called for the resignation of the chair of the CCRC, Helen Pitcher. However, she said she was still the “best person” for the job and that she had no intention of standing down. So how does the Criminal Cases Review Commission work? How does it make decisions about which cases should go back to the Court of Appeal, and which should be rejected?Also this week: - Are the laws around accessing social care for disabled children too complicated? - And if you're selling your home - are you legally bound to mention problem neighbours?

Christine Oyler, Services Planning Coordinator at Bellomo & Associates, is the firm's Medicaid team member. Since 2016, Christine has used her nursing experience and Medicaid knowledge to help clients better understand the Medicaid system and make the best choices for themselves and their families. As part of this work, she sits down with Jeff to discuss some of the lesser-known factors that can affect your asset protection strategy and Medicaid eligibility.   WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW   (00:00) Episode introduction.   (03:15) A “529 account” helps people save for educational expenses. However, a 529 account could affect your eligibility for Medicaid.      (06:22) Funds in a “uniform transfer to minors account” are exempt from Medicaid eligibility even within the five-year lookback period.    (07:23) When filing a Medicaid application, estranged spouses must prove that they are living separate lives with separate finances. A hearing may be necessary.   (10:48) Divorcing and giving the “community” spouse 100% of assets to gain Medicaid eligibility is a red flag for possible fraud. Additionally, this scenario limits protection of the community spouse's assets.     (14:20) When people get married and enter into a prenup to keep finances separate, the state can still make a claim on the resources of the community spouse. The same applies to postnuptial agreements.    (16:47) Some blended families have wills designed to keep inheritable resources separate for the “original” children. This does not protect the assets of the community spouse.     (19:05) Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) often have a “benevolent fund” available to pay for care if a person—who is not yet in skilled care—runs out of money. There are many factors to consider under this scenario.   (24:26) Having your assets in a trust would not necessarily disqualify you from entering a CCRC. But, at the least, you likely would need to have sufficient funds in your name alone to buy in. Estate planning options are available to manage this scenario.     (27:57) Typically, a benevolent fund contract will restrict the amount and type of gifting that is allowed while the contract is in force.     ABOUT BELLOMO & ASSOCIATES   Jeffrey R.

On Sunday, Suze Orman discussed the finally finalized rules for inherited IRA's. Listen here:   Today, I'm going to share a case study to share what one of our clients did with some of the IRA funds she inherited from her mom. Some of you know that "non-eligible" beneficiaries of IRA funds are required to withdraw all tne money in the IRA within 10 years and pay taxes on those withdrawals.  If you don't know, listen to Suze's podcast episode from Sunday, September 3, 2024 with the above link. Nicole used $17,000 a year of the $45,000 she is required to withdraw annually over 10 years to create a paid-up long term care plan that will pay more than the entire inheritance she received ($450,000 IRA and $450,000 non-IRA funds). Listen and learn how we accomplished this.  Nicole's mom left her a nice inheritance with an unforseen tax burden.  We repositioned that tax burden to create tax-free LTC benefits for her or a tax-free death benefit for her kids. Schedule with me to learn how you can reposition yout tax-burden at      

We're thrilled by the level of engagement we see in our clients and podcast listeners. Your questions are always welcome because understanding the concepts in estate planning and elder law helps you make the best decisions for you and your family. Lately, we've received a lot of inquiries about trusts so we will dedicate two episodes to a deep dive into asset protection trusts.  If you're a regular listener, you have the foundational knowledge to follow along with this in-depth discussion. However, if you're new to our podcast, we recommend starting with our earlier episodes that cover trusts and other topics at an introductory level. And, if you're in Pennsylvania, we'd love for you to join us at one of our free educational workshops. Check out our website or give us a call to learn more.   WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (00:00) Episode introduction. (03:20) What type of trust does Bellomo & Associates use for asset protection and tax purposes? Are revocable trusts used for asset protection? (09:40) Are pure grantor irrevocable trusts widely used? Should I use Google to learn more about them?  (10:19) How do trusts work with continuing care retirement communities (CCRC)? What if I don't plan on using a CCRC, but then I change my mind?  (13:19) How do trusts handle different types of real estate—a primary residence, vacation homes, and rental properties, etc.? What's the difference between ownership and control of properties? How are expenses paid for?  (18:00) When is it too late to set up a trust? What is the difference between pre-planning and crisis planning? What activates the five-year lookback period?  (23:37) Is an asset protection trust, as used by Bellomo & Associates, the same thing as a domestic asset protection trust?   ABOUT BELLOMO & ASSOCIATES Jeffrey R.

Community college students make up 40 percent of enrollment in U.S. higher education, and 80 percent of those students want to go on to earn a bachelor's degree. However, only around 16 percent of those students will be successful in transferring and completing a four-year degree within six years after transferring. Transfer students often lose credits when continuing to their bachelor's degree, slowing their progress toward graduation and increasing the costs associated with higher education. Transfer advocates recognize the need for state and institutional interventions (both at the two- and four-year level) to improve processes and promote degree attainment. In this episode, researchers from the Community College Research Center at Columbia University's Teachers College, Aurely Garcia Tulloch and Tatiana Velasco Rodriguez, discuss CCRC's current projects to improve transfer across the country. Later, hear from Pamela Johnston, dean of career and academic planning at Tallahassee State College, about how the institution has revised its advising process to make registration, transfer planning and working with an adviser more seamless for students. Hosted by Inside Higher Ed Student Success Reporter Ashley Mowreader. Read a transcript of the podcast here.

We've all been aging since the day we were born, but is there a right time to start thinking about senior living? For Steve Gurney, it was in his early 40s. During a yearlong project, Steve moved into five different senior living communities to get the full experience. Steve will share firsthand insight and advice about what to look for when searching for a senior living community. This is the perfect time to dip your toes in the water and get to know the team at Charter Senior Living. Steve is the Founder of the Positive Aging Community and develops innovative products to help seniors make the best choices in retirement living. He is a Senior Marketing Institute award winner and the Founder and Publisher of the Positive Aging SourceBook. For more information about Charter Senior Living Charter Senior Living currently manages over 60 senior living communities across the United States.  Mission: To Enhance the Human Spirit. At Charter Senior Living, our mission statement and core values unite us in our purpose – and our passion. We strive to be a caring and compassionate leader within the senior living industry, but more importantly, our goal is to demonstrate that commitment to our residents … Every. Single. Day. Visit any Charter Senior Living community on any given day … and, from the moment you step through our doors, we think you'll experience the difference … Questions Asked:  Steve, so could you or would you share and tell us what happened with your grandfather and their care? Did the family place them in a senior care location? I am concerned about the impact of private equity in the senior living space. I am interested in moving to CCRC. Specifically, my concern is were I to move into a CCRC today, what protections would I have that the CCRC would maintain its quality of service and commensurate quality of service in higher levels of care? "My husband is like 7 years older than me with co morbidity. So when it's the right time to move in assisted living  even though I'm still independent.. Maybe be I know the answer but I want to know your perspective?" How about Villages (Village to Village network)?  I belong to At Home in Alexandria. Pros/cons rental community with levels of care (such as Brightview)  vs nonprofit  CCRC (such as Goodwin House) vs for profit CCRC  (such as The Fairfax , both of which have entrance fees "Is there a future expectation for healthcare in those communities? Is assisted living an age eligibility requirement?" I have heard that these older adult communities can be cliquish like in high school. How can one avoid these cliques? Can you comment on "adult family homes," please? where to find a NOC--natural occurring community in the DC area? What are entry fees all about? Steve can you share Arvette's webinar on Senior Living Contracts? https://www.retirementlivingsourcebook.com/videos/understanding-senior-living-community-contracts "What an amazing story, wow? Ask, Ask , Ask. Thank you so much for sharing. So the person was only fifty years of age when they had the accident and became disabled, and the whole family moved into the care community and the organization decided and said they would work with the whole family to make this care plan work for the good of the whole family. Thanks." With aging baby boomers, many, new communities are being built today (visited some in Fairfax, VA). We're 68 and plan to move to a CRCC when we are about 75 (hopefully as independent living).  How do we evaluate the new communities?  Any other advise in what we should do? Your grandfather, Entomologist? Is this the scientist who studies insects and zoology and animals? if yes, this is so interesting. Your grandfather, a professor, teacher, researcher, what did they do and what happened to all of their stuff. The cicadas have always been so interesting. Thnaks Steve, this was excellent presentatation!!! Ruth

Developmental education, also known as remedial education, refers to courses that some entering college students will have to take if they are deemed unprepared for college-level courses. However, studies have shown that developmental education can actually hinder students' progress in college. Additionally, students of color, adults, first-generation students, and those from low-income backgrounds are disproportionately placed in developmental education programs, so there's a lot of interest among policymakers, college practitioners, and researchers in reforming developmental education programs to address these challenges and support more equitable outcomes for students. As part of MDRC's 50th anniversary celebration, this episode of Evidence First features MDRC's longtime partner the Community College Research Center, or CCRC. In 2014, MDRC and CCRC launched the Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness, or CAPR, to research the effectiveness of developmental education reforms and to understand their implications for equity. In this episode, Leigh Parise talks with Nikki Edgecombe, a senior research scholar at CCRC who leads CAPR, and Michael Weiss, a senior fellow in postsecondary education at MDRC, about what has been learned about promoting equity in developmental education reform.

Alicia's insurance agent told her she was too short for her weight and no LTC insurance can be offered to her. Turns out that agent only represented one company.  Other companies will consider her build (height/weight).   Many people are either very small or very big.  There are alternative solutions to planning for future care needs that can help those outside of the weight limits of most companies.   Some companies don't ask about build or health at all, while some have more lenient health requirements than others. If you've been told you can't qualify for LTC insurance, it is wise to ask for a second opinion. Reach out to me to ask what else can be offered to help you protect your family, assets and choices https://calendly.com/diane-p4t/30min

Today, many seniors live longer—often farther away from family—and want to avoid continuing care retirement communities (CCRC). They'd rather age at home in familiar surroundings.

Social connections: events, support groups, walking groups, etc. “Just One Call” program: transportation, technology assistance, etc. Home and life maintenance: yardwork, snow shoveling, medical notetaking, etc.   (07:18) There are about eight villages in Pennsylvania. The newest one serves York County. (07:51) Membership fees are tiered based on income. Dues range from $0 to $15 per month.   (08:17) Call or fill out an application on the website to see if membership makes sense for you. For some needs, the team will connect you with other service providers (e.g., Meals on Wheels) to help you thrive at home.   (10:58) The service provider directory includes only those recommended by other members.   (12:04) Some members have given up their vehicles. Weekly grocery shopping trips, medical appointments, and all kinds of errands are manageable with volunteer drivers.   (18:42) The Lancaster Downtowners serves all of Lancaster County with a concentration in metro Lancaster.    ABOUT BELLOMO & ASSOCIATES Jeffrey R.

In this episode, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia are joined by Rob Cordeau to discuss Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). They provide an overview of what CCRCs are and how they relate to long-term care planning. They also explore how CCRCs can be an alternative to long-term care insurance and the different financing models for CCRCs. The conversation covers topics such as the large upfront costs of CCRCs, the benefits of living in a CCRC, and the options for refundable entrance fees. Rob Cordeau provides insights into continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs).

The entrance fee varies based on the size and features of the apartment, and there are different types of contracts, including non-refundable and refundable options. Rob also discusses the financial aspects of CCRCs, such as the relationship between entrance fees and ongoing cash flow, the potential tax deductibility of entrance fees, and the importance of financial due diligence when choosing a CCRC.
