It seems that with nearly every person or couple I work with, a version of this question comes up. Which plan do I recommend most often? Although all LTC plans are similar in how to qualify for benefits, each company and even each plan within a company carries unique attributes to that are attractive to various wants and needs of interested buyers.. This week, Diane shares different/unique characteristics offered inside hybrod life/LTC plans. The premiums can't be too high or too low compared to the competition, or one company will get far too many applicants (leading to many more future claims) than other carriers. The lopsidedness of the financial obligations would really mess up that company's future committments. So if premiums ar similar across the industry, each company needs its own way to attract the clients they want to attract. Listen and learn some of the unique ways companies diffrentiate themselves. Email me at and ask me for more info on hybrid LTC planning strategies. Then schedule a phone or zoom meeting with me to design your plan
In the final installment of our three-part series, host Todd Eury wraps up his live coverage from the 2025 FrameworkLTC Innovation Conference.

Nurse practitioner Judi Lacinak has spent more than two decades working with patients living with HIV, the last three with those needing long-term or post-acute care. She's both a clinical expert and a passionate advocate for better HIV care. That makes her an ideal candidate to teach others how to treat patients, understand the risks and deliver treatment and services while preserving dignity. During a recent visit to Broadway House for Continuing Care, McKnight's Long-Term Care News asked Lacinak for strategies that can help build confidence for new caregivers. For new staff, she says, training on bloodborne pathogens, infection control, standard precautions, enhanced barrier precautions and various types of isolation are critical. They can improve care for patients and reduce fear or misunderstanding among frontline team members. “I think back to the '80s and the '90s when somebody had HIV and they were put in a room in isolation and they were in there by themselves because we as healthcare providers didn't know,” she tells McKnight's Senior Editor Kimberly Marselas. “But nowadays it's different. You walk into a room, you're going to treat that patient who's HIV-positive the same as you would treat the patient who's in the bed next to them, who's not,” she explains. “Think of it as a chronic illness, and if I can manage your high blood pressure, I can manage HIV.” Lacinak, a nurse educator, also offers advice on how to educate patients to be better advocates for themselves, especially amid continued advances in the medications that control the virus and support their immune systems. And in this final piece of McKnight's HIV in LTC series, Lacinak also takes a few minutes to remember a short-stay patient whose life she touched — and whom she later encountered thriving after treatment. “I really think that it's a privilege to take care of patients here. And I try to get that through to student nurses, when they come through here, that somebody is trusting their family member or their loved one into your hands to be a caregiver to them,” she says. “That's a privilege that we can't take lightly.” Listeners of this special McKnight's Newsmakers podcast will come away with actionable insights and an uplifting dose of inspiration.

In this powerful episode, Kevin Riley of One America joins Tennessee Brokerage Agency to tackle one of today's most urgent financial and emotional challenges: the caregiver crisis. Riley reframes the long-term care (LTC) conversation — shifting the focus from paying for care to managing resources and protecting families from the crushing realities of caregiving. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of why LTC planning isn't about averages or age, but about ensuring access, control, and dignity when care is needed. Riley dives deep into the staggering statistics — including the 63% higher mortality rate among unpaid caregivers — and calls out the “lie of consequences” that keeps clients from planning ahead. This episode explores how One America's asset-based LTC solutions empower clients to protect both their wealth and their loved ones. From Care Coordination Concierge services to respite benefits and lifetime joint coverage, these innovative options give families real-life relief when it matters most. For advisors, Riley offers practical conversation starters to help clients confront care planning head-on — not with fear, but with foresight. It's a must-listen for anyone who believes that the true measure of financial planning is how well it safeguards the people behind the numbers.

Together, they dive into the contrasts and common ground between Monero and Zcash, exploring both the technical and cultural dynamics of the leading privacy coins. Juraj discusses Zcash's growing DEX integrations through Zashi Wallet and Near Intents, while Doug shares his experience with a failed swap attempt. They compare this with Monero's ongoing DEX efforts like Sarai and potential Thorchain integration, highlighting the shared goal of improving usability and interoperability. The two also unpack each project's funding models, mining approaches, and community cultures, debating decentralization, security, and the future of privacy in crypto.

This is the beginning of our 6th year!!! This week, Diane interviews Jason Dutra with BuddyIns again. We discuss tax-benefits of worksite LTC insurance and hybrid life/LTC worksite plans. How are these plan offerings different than other group benefits that employers offer? How can employers use group life/LTC plans to show how much they care about their employees? When employees know their employer cares about them and their families, they are more productive. Everyone is happier, and employee retention is strong. If you are a business owner with at least 3 employees, there are worksite LTC plans available for you to consider. These plans have guaranteed issue rights, so no medical questions to qualify. If you are an employee and have been declined for LTC, you can ask your employer if they would consider offering this benefit to some or all the people who work there. Schedule some time with me to explore options

This week, after hearing from a client who wishes she would have bought more insurance a decade ago, Diane shares decisions that others have made in the past and now regret it. These people, if they had thought through their decisions before making them, could have ended up with much better outcomes. When planning to provide for ourselves and protect our families, we need to take action. And we need to not skip the small things. The small things in these stories would have made all the difference. We all have a plan for our own future long term care needs. Some will just let things happen and will end up being "put" somewhere. Those who proactively seek solutions end up with much better choices later on. You can view both current and projected costs of home care, assisted living, and nursing home care where you live or plan to live I recommend you use 5% inflation on care as that's what we've seen for three decades. Then schedule a phone or zoom meeting to start designing your plan Then you'll be Prepared for Tomorrow!!!
In part one of our special three-part series, join host Todd Eury as he takes you inside the 2025 FrameworkLTC Innovation Conference. Recorded live on-site, this episode features conversations with long-term care (LTC) pharmacy leaders, partner exhibitors, and members of the SoftWriters team. Hear firsthand insights and success stories that highlight innovation, collaboration, and the future of LTC pharmacy.
Hyperthyroidism, though less common than hypothyroidism in elderly populations, poses unique challenges in long-term care (LTC) settings. In older adults, symptoms can be subtle or atypical—manifesting as unexplained weight loss, anxiety, atrial fibrillation, or cognitive decline, which may be mistaken for normal aging or other chronic conditions. In LTC facilities, where polypharmacy and comorbidities are prevalent, the role of the pharmacist consultant is critical in identifying potential signs of hyperthyroidism, reviewing lab results, and ensuring appropriate medication management. While levothyroxine is a standard therapy for hypothyroidism, its use in LTC requires close monitoring, especially to avoid overtreatment that can mimic or induce hyperthyroid symptoms. Pharmacist consultants play a key role in evaluating levothyroxine dosing—considering factors like renal function, drug interactions (e.g., calcium, iron supplements), and changes in patient weight or dietary habits. In cases where hyperthyroidism is present or suspected, pharmacists assist in monitoring antithyroid medications such as methimazole or managing transitions after radioactive iodine therapy or surgery. Their involvement ensures thyroid function is properly assessed, doses are adjusted appropriately, and adverse events—like fractures or cardiovascular risks from overtreatment—are minimized.

John's soon to be published book 'THE ABDUCTION AMNESTY KNOT'In a time when governments admit the reality of UFOs and whistleblowers risk everything to testify about encounters with non-human intelligences, The Abduction Amnesty Knot dares to ask the hardest question of all: what now? Drawing on decades of military experience, behavioral science, and firsthand accounts from PRP-qualified service members, Dr. John G. Blitch, LTC, USA Retired, uncovers disturbing patterns of abduction, concealed technologies, and deep trauma—with evidence that's physical, not just anecdotal.Part memoir, part manifesto, and part psychological reckoning, this book blends high-level military insight with deeply personal stories to challenge the limits of belief and open a case for something radical in the age of disclosure: forgiveness. With dark humor, unflinching analysis, and compassion for the abducted and the unaware alike, Blitch doesn't just document the hidden truths of our past—he charts a course for the kind of future humanity may still be worthy of.BioDr. John G. Blitch (LTC USA RET) is a retired cognitive scientist and former DARPA Program Manager with a career spanning nuclear weapons delivery, Special Forces, and artificially intelligent robotics. In addition to his many military deployments, Colonel Blitch's field experience includes a multitude of disaster response activities—most notably in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing (1995), World Trade Center attacks (2001), and Hurricane Katrina (2005). Holding a doctorate and multiple master's degrees in cognitive science and engineering, he has taught at the U.S. Air Force Academy and led pioneering research programs in robotics and human-machine teaming.Dr. Blitch's work has taken him from war zones and classified laboratories to rubble piles, ski slopes, and mysterious mountain bike trails. Along his journey, he has accumulated a wealth of personal and professional experience that has compelled him to confront uncomfortable truths about artificial intelligence, hidden trauma, and institutional silence. Known for his unconventional thinking and sharp skepticism—often turned inward—he now dedicates his voice to advocating for truth, accountability, and above all, forgiveness in the face of unthinkable terror.https://www.fearfighter.org/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They dive into Monero's upcoming Carrot protocol upgrade and Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++), two major advancements in privacy and security. Jeff shares his path into Monero, from early mining experiments in 2017 to contributing as a developer. He explains how Carrot fixes vulnerabilities like the burning bug and Janus attack, while adding features such as outgoing view keys and offline address generation. The conversation then shifts to FCMP++, with a stress test network launching soon. This upgrade will expand Monero's anonymity set from 16 to around 150 million—an unprecedented leap in privacy. They also cover Monero's response to recent Qubic mining attacks, Tevador's “publish or perish” proposal, comparisons with other privacy coins like Zcash, and future directions including quantum resistance and confidential assets.

Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 241- (27 September 2025) Ian Duncan MacDonald has started to write another investment book on stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. It will be called “2025 Edition – America's 200 Strongest High Dividend Stocks – Analyzed and Scored”. It is being written for investors who fear making investing in individual stocks because they fear losing the savings, they may have spent a lifetime accumulating.Ian's books always show investors an easy, safe way to pick financially strong companies who pay high dividends . Stocks that can provide a generous, reliable, growing income while also increasing the value of their portfolio. Unlike mutual funds and other investment vehicles where investors have no control over their investment, self-directed investors who create a manageable portfolio of 20 stocks from the 200 analyzed and scored stocks will know exactly what they are invested in and why they chose each stock for their portfolio. Ian is inviting those wanting to gain self-confidence in self directed investing to follow along in his podcasts over the next few months as he scores and analyzes a sampling of financially strong, high dividend stocks from his new book. You may want to refer to the written transcript that accompanies each podcast. Today he is scoring, comparing and analyzing; (1) LTC Properties Inc (stock symbol LTC) (2) LXP Industrial Trust (stock symbol LXP )(3) LyondellBassel Industries NV (stock symbol (LYB )For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www.informus.ca or listen to the previous 241 weekly podcasts.

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian explain why inflation and interest-rate cycles look scarier in headlines than they are for long-term investors—zooming out from Volcker to near-zero rates to today to show how markets normalize. They turn that history into action: how to position cash and bonds as rates shift, match time horizons to risk, and avoid headline chasing. Plus, the Social Security number that really matters (your FRA), a candid long-term-care playbook (insurance vs. self-funding and family coordination), and Ask the Advisor on LTC costs, cyber fraud basics, trusts vs. PODs, and Roth vs. pre-tax 401(k).
This week, Diane compares 10 year hybrid Life/LTC plans with 10 year paid up funding for a couple age 50, age 60, and age 70 to share why it's so much better for everyone when we plan early. Even though we don't want to think about it, at age 50, we need to consider what our 70 year old self, our 80 year old self and even our 90 year old self may be like and what kind of help we may need. Genuinely see the older people around you - your family, people at the grocery store, people walking out to their mailbox to get the mail. Are they moving more slowly or unbalanced as compared to how they may have been able to move around 10, 20 or 30 years ago? Why would we really think we'll be different? By starting at age 50 onstead of 60, you could save hundreds of thousands of dollars in premiums over your lifetime, get your policies paid in full before you retire and then have 10 times what you paid in premiums to pay for care needs wherever you and your family and doctor sees as the best and safest place for you to live and get help living. You'll know you have a plan for when things don't go as planned. View current and projected costs od care where you live and remember to use a 5% cost of living adjustment when considering future costs as that is the average rate of inflation on LTC services.

They dive into Monero's potential for decentralized capital markets, business-friendly features like view keys and transaction tagging, and hurdles such as accessibility and accounting integration. The discussion also explores Monero's philosophy—privacy as resistance to surveillance, the role of proof-of-work, and the community's “big tent” culture.

This episode explores Americans' financial well-being in 2025, using a Yahoo Finance/Marist survey as the springboard. Don and Tom discuss how their audience differs from the average American listener, how perceptions of financial health can be misleading, and what to actually do if your finances—or your feelings about them—are getting worse. They debate the usefulness of net worth tracking, stress the importance of financial literacy, and suggest automating savings. Listener questions cover indexed annuities, bond substitutes, tax implications, and long-term care sales pitches. They also read a letter defending Rick Edelman and challenging their dismissal of crypto, which leads to a lively discussion about evidence-based investing, Eugene Fama's critique of Bitcoin, and the dangers of sensationalized advice. They end with a reflection on public criticism and the value of having one's views challenged. 0:29 Comparing TRM listeners to Ramsey and Kiyosaki audiences 1:37 Median savings for over-65 Americans and why $200k still isn't enough 2:42 Yahoo/Marist survey results: affordability, debt, emergency savings 3:50 One in three say finances worsened; generational breakdown 4:51 Explaining net worth, what to include and exclude 7:01 Tracking net worth annually as a financial benchmark 8:00 Divorce, net worth, and the joke about “kill them off” 9:50 Income gap, gender differences, and perception vs. reality 10:34 How uncertainty and fear shape financial outlooks 11:41 Producer note joke about being “sexist but not leftist” 11:50 Dissatisfaction with savings and personal spending habits 13:06 Fixing bad finances: literacy, automation, benchmarking 17:20 Don argues perception matters more than reality for many 18:20 Listener question: fixed index annuity as bond substitute 19:46 Caps, participation rates, and underperformance vs. markets 21:10 Tax treatment of annuities vs. ETFs 22:55 Importance of advice near retirement (decumulation phase) 23:44 Listener shares bad LTC/annuity sales pitch experience 24:54 Fixed annuity guarantees vs. CDs and government bonds 25:39 Listener defends Rick Edelman, suggests an open dialogue 26:52 Don's critique of Edelman's shift toward sensationalism 29:29 Eugene Fama's comments on Bitcoin, clash with Edelman's stance 31:23 Public criticism is fair game—reading recent Apple Podcast reviews 32:48 Bitcoin adoption debate and institutional incentives Learn more about your ad choices.

It's football season! This week, Diane compares football to LTC planning. Every team needs a quarterback, position players and a strong defense. We also need depth - a back up plan in case something or someone isn't the right fit for our needs. We need strategies and gameplans so we are prepared for tomorrow. The most difficult part of LTC planing is we never know what we're going to need to defend against or when we need to be ready to defend. No one is sending a schedule in advance, so we need to prepare today to have the best plan we can obtain no matter who our opponent is. I'll be your coach and help you strengthen your strategies and your team so you can all be Prepared for Tomorrow. Email me at and I'll email you a Planning Guide to help you start thinking about how and where and with whom you would want to live if you can no longer live independently.

On this week's episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr interviews Ryan Watts. Ryan shares how he co-founded Red River Development and scaled a Build-to-Rent platform to 1,900 units and $600M AUM by leaning on RIAs, family offices, high net worth investors, and a robust fund-manager channel. He explains why they prioritize prerecorded webinars, turnkey deal rooms, and third-party experts to help fund managers raise faster with more credibility. Ryan also previews their 206-home Waco, Texas BTR project, outlining a conservative 65% LTC capital stack, a merchant-build strategy targeting 2x equity, and why Texas demand makes the story compelling.

Tom kicks off with a check-in on bond market returns, reminding listeners that bonds are about stability, not yield-chasing. He's joined by advisor Roxy Butner, who helps answer listener questions about fixed-allocation vs. target-date funds, how much international exposure is enough, Ameriprise “CL” fund share classes with high fees, and whether hybrid long-term care annuity products are worth considering.
