Programs advocate for long-term-care residents When Janice Munson walks through the entrance of a local nursing home, she has a list of names of the aged and disabled residents who have called for help. After those visits, she'll check in with other residents, sometimes asking if they have a physical therapy plan and if they are being taken for supervised walks to maintain their mobility. The answer is often no. "They'll say, 'I know there aren't enough staff, so I don't want to ask.' " Ensuring that residents obtain services is one of Munson's primary roles as a long-term care ombudsman, a position created by the Older Americans Act of 1965. The legislation requires states to provide independent advocates for residents in nursing homes, adult care homes and assisted living and rehabilitation facilities. Munson is among the eight volunteers who, along with five paid staff members, monitor 120 facilities in Region 4, which covers Putnam, Westchester and Rockland counties. Based in Cold Spring and led by Philipstown resident Judy Farrell, the region is one of 15 in the state. Region 5, based in Fishkill, covers Dutchess and five other counties. Nursing homes are the priority; the state wants them visited weekly and other facilities at least quarterly, said Farrell, who is also a member of the Philipstown Town Board. Although physical abuse draws headlines, complaints range from a staff member giving a resident the wrong medication or failing to follow therapy plans to dirty rooms, substandard food and a lack of recreation. Along with residents, the friends of residents and facility staff can report concerns, said Farrell. During the pandemic, when quarantines prevented families from visiting long-term care facilities, Farrell arranged for "compassionate care" visits. In one case, she helped a man unable to get his dying mother discharged to home hospice care. When she arrived home, he called Farrell, crying and grateful. "You can't replace that feeling," she said. "It's greatly satisfying." Arnold Tanner knows the feeling. A volunteer in Region 4, he visits a facility near his home in Sleepy Hollow twice a week. Carrying an iPad filled with notes, he meets first with people in the long-term-care units before introducing himself to newcomers and checking in at the rehab unit. He sometimes gets "a little better feel for the place" from newcomers and rehab patients, who are less reluctant to speak up, he said. Those in long-term care may fear retribution by staff, which is also a source of complaints. Statewide, the ombudsman program received 18,346 complaints during fiscal 2024, including 1,680 to the Cold Spring office. About a third were care-related, a broad category that includes accidents, falls, general requests for assistance and concerns about medications and physical therapy. Another 15 percent were complaints about staff failing to "honor and promote a resident's right or preferences" about healthcare, privacy, visitors and other areas. Many complaints related to food and admissions, including discharges and evictions. "Sometimes people face discharge for nonpayment when they might be eligible for Medicaid," Farrell explained. Complaints occasionally lead to legal action. In 2024, the state attorney general announced a $45 million settlement with Centers for Care, which owns four facilities, including one in White Plains, for "years of tragic and devastating mistreatment and neglect." According to the attorney general, "call bells regularly went unanswered, residents were forced to sit in their own urine and feces for hours, meals were not provided in a timely manner and personal belongings, including hearing aids, dentures and clothing, were often lost or stolen." After making On the Shoulders of Giants, a film about the orthopedics department at NYU Langone that was a Tribeca Film Festival Special Jury Award finalist in 2024, Cold Spring resident Peter Sanders turned to ombudsman programs. In March 2025, he began ...

A heart-warming new community initiative is bringing style, dignity, and independence directly to nursing home residents across the region. “Rocking the Rails” is a travelling retail experience designed to ensure elderly individuals can continue choosing their own clothing and personal items — empowering them to maintain independence, identity, and confidence. The initiative is led by Maggie Cronin, proud owner of The Family Store in Kilrush. A family-run department store established over 30 years ago. Alan Morrissey spoke to Maggie about "Rocking the Rails" and her family store on Clare FM's Morning Focus. Image (c) The Family Store Limited via Facebook

Healthcare didn't get expensive because patients got worse — it got expensive because the system got fragmented. In this episode of The Disruptive Podcast, Scott Middleton breaks down why hospice can't live “over there,” separate from primary care, nursing, therapy, and care management.Scott explains the Your Health Hospice rollout, the staffing reality that determines whether integration is real, and the math behind a new model: caseload reductions for nurses when hospice patients are added, plus incentives that acknowledge the complexity of end-of-life care.This conversation is about building a care system where the patient doesn't have to juggle providers, phone numbers, and handoffs — because they shouldn't have to. One team. One plan. One umbrella. www.YourHealth.Org

Many people don't learn about Medicaid estate recovery until they're already facing loss. In this episode, host Aging Starts Now is joined by Barbara McGinnis, Certified Elder Law Attorney, to explain what estate recovery is, how it works, and why it matters for families using Medicaid to pay for care. This episode explores: • Common fears and misconceptions • Assets most often affected • How estate recovery impacts families • Why understanding the rules early can make a difference

Kenneth Vogel, New York Times reporter, joins Chris and Amy following a rule change from the Trump administration regarding minimum nursing home staffing requirements. A number of nursing homes donated to the President's political action committee prior to the changes. 'The people who are giving are getting access,' says Vogel of those receiving preferential treatment.

Chris and Amy discuss a trend of DoorDashing that is draining wallets; tv newscasters are surprised that it's February; a New York Times reporter has details on a change to nursing home staffing that seemingly came about b/c of donations to Donald Trump; Matt thinks about odd things.

We're joined by public media reporter colleagues to explore some of the top stories in our region this week. First, new data shows most, if not all, categories of crime fell in the city of Rochester in 2025. WXXI News' Gino Fanelli explains what the data means. Then, there are fewer beds available in nursing homes across the nation, and as WXXI News' Racquel Stephen reports, the decrease has been more striking in the Finger Lakes region. She joins us to discuss what this means for patients and families, nursing home staff, and hospital systems in our area. We end the week with a phrase..."Go Bills!" Bills fans have been up in arms since Saturday's loss against the Broncos. From a controversial call to owner Terry Pegula's decision to fire head coach Sean McDermott, fans have thoughts.

In this episode of The ICHE Podcast, host Dr. David Calfee speaks with the authors of the newly released Multisociety Guidance for Infection Prevention and Control in Nursing Homes. He is joined by Dr. Lona Mody, Dr. Deborah Burdsall, Dr. Susan Huang, Dr. Robin Jump, and Dr. Rekha Murthy to discuss the development, key updates, and practical implications of this comprehensive guidance. Developed by SHEA in collaboration with APIC, IDSA, PALTmed, and the American Geriatrics Society, the guidance document updates the earlier SHEA/APIC guideline: Infection prevention and control in the long-term care facility published in July 2008. The authors walk through how the updated guidance reflects current evidence and lessons learned, offering a flexible framework to help nursing homes prevent and control infections while preserving the social, rehabilitative, and quality-of-life goals that are central to residential care.

Celebrate a decade of AlzAuthors with this replay of a film discussion from our first film festival! Marianne Sciucco and the AlzAuthors community gathered to discuss Susie Singer Carter's documentary series No Country for Old People, inspired by her painful but illuminating journey alongside her mother in a five-star Los Angeles nursing facility. Key Topics Behind the Film: Susie shares what drove her to make No Country for Old People, highlighting the persistent systemic crises in long-term care and her struggle to advocate for her mom within a broken system.She discusses both personal and policy challenges—from underfunding and understaffing to navigating Medicaid and family caregiver roles.Caregiving Realities: Multiple audience members and guests brought their own lived experiences—from those who have placed loved ones in care homes to those doing the daily grind at their side.Honest input covers the isolation and exhaustion of caregiving, the guilt and judgments faced, and the varied trajectories and needs of those with dementia.Systemic and Cultural Barriers: The episode reveals the complexities behind facility care: understaffing, high turnover, the business model of elder care, and how profit-driven motives can lead to neglect, overmedication, and a lack of dignity for residents.Advocacy and Taking Action: Susie announced the ROAR initiative—Respect, Oversight, Advocacy, and Reform for Long Term Care. She stresses the urgent need for grassroots collective action and oversight to drive meaningful change for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Standout Quotes from Susie Singer Carter “Love is super powerful. I think it's our greatest tool.”“Documentaries are not money makers. They are changemakers at best.”“We have a broken system... But it's so important to know what's out there and what's really happening.” Takeaways Caregiver stories are unique—what works (or doesn't) varies case by case.The importance of advocacy and family involvement doesn't end with placement in a facility; sometimes, it increases.Systemic reforms are desperately needed, and community effort can move the needle.Connection, creativity, and compassion remain vital tools in the caregiving journey. Next Up Tune in to the upcoming episode with Frank Silverstein as he discusses his short film, Lousy: Love in the Time of Dementia, and continue engaging with films that capture the real, raw, and sometimes uplifting world of dementia caregiving.

In this eye-opening episode, Christy and Marianne welcome back the formidable advocate, filmmaker, and podcast host Susie Singer Carter. Known for her poignant short film My Mom and the Girl —inspired by her experiences with her mother's Alzheimer's and starring the late beloved television actress Valerie Harper - and her award-winning podcast, “Love Conquers ALZ,” Susie shared details of her latest project, No Country for Old People, a stirring docuseries set to premiere on Amazon Prime August 1st. The conversation delves into the often-unseen challenges families face when loved ones require long-term or memory care. Despite finding what she believed was a 5-star facility for her mother, Susie encountered heartbreaking realities: inadequate care, chemical restraints, and a systemic unwillingness to change. As Susie recounted, “Most documentaries are labors of love. They're not money makes. If you choose to do a documentary, it's because you really care.” Her commitment shows not only in her work but in her partnership with retired federal prosecutor Rick Mountcastle (Dopesick), who spent decades investigating and prosecuting elder care fraud and neglect. Their collaboration—and the nearly 100 interviews with families, doctors, and whistleblowers—revealed this crisis is widespread, persistent, and demands urgent reform. Processing her own trauma, Susie found motivation in community and collective action. Inspired by the lack of real change through traditional advocacy, she and her partners founded ROAR—Respect, Oversight, Advocacy, and Reform for long-term care. “Any hard issue in our society has been overcome by the collective. That's our power,” Susie urges. She invites everyone to join the movement, harnessing the “power of love” to demand oversight and expose the veiled corporate interests prioritizing profits over people.

In this episode, Yiqun Chen and Marcus Dillender join us to discuss their revealing study on how nursing homes respond to government inspections. They explain how facilities often make short-term changes—like boosting staff and discharging patients—just to look better during inspections, only to revert immediately afterward. Despite this gaming, inspection ratings still offer meaningful insights into resident outcomes. The conversation covers why some citations lead to real improvements while others don't; how inspection ratings relate to mortality risk; and what policymakers can do to make oversight more effective and less predictable. This episode offers a candid look at the strengths and blind spots of government monitoring, and what it means for the future of elder care. Guests: Yiqun Chen & Marcus Dillender, economists and authors of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) paper “Government Monitoring of Health Care Quality: Evidence from the Nursing Home Sector”

To gauge the situation Rachel talked to Tadhg Daly, Chief Executive of Nursing Homes Ireland.

We are honored to welcome Kevin Tighe, the actor who brought Roy DeSoto to life on the groundbreaking series Emergency! and whose career has spanned stage, screen, and service.Kevin takes us back to his beginnings at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he first stepped into the world of acting at just 10 years old. From there, he trained with legendary teachers Stella Adler and Bobby Lewis, absorbing the craft that would later shape his most memorable roles.He reflects on his early film work, including Yours, Mine and Ours, and shares a warm, behind-the-scenes moment with Lucille Ball. Kevin then recounts the unexpected and nerve-wracking audition process that led to Emergency! and how a chance encounter with actor David Janssen calmed his nerves and helped him nail the screen test that changed his life.Kevin discusses the legacy of Emergency! notable for the realism brought by on-set medical advisors. The show inspired a surge of interest in first responder careers, and it raised awareness of lifesaving pre-hospitalization, EMS opportunities that inspired paramedic programs throughout the country.Kevin talks candidly about the challenges he faced following Emergency!, including his struggle with fame and his move to Washington State. There, he dedicated himself to community work and played a key role in establishing Hospice of the Northwest.After decades of appearances on big and small screens with memorable roles in Roadhouse, Newsies, Law And Order SUV, Freaks and Geeks, and the list goes on, you can now see Kevin in the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another, and he shares a touching moment between himself and P.T. Anderson which allowed Kevin to create a menacing screen moment that will live in infamy. Kevin also looks back on earning his master's degree at USC and the students he taught who went on to thrive in their field.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. On November 23, 1963—while the nation was consumed by news of President John F. Kennedy's assassination—a devastating fire quietly swept through the Golden Age Nursing Home in Fitchville, Ohio. In a matter of minutes, 63 residents, many unable to walk or call for help, lost their lives in one of the deadliest nursing home fires in U.S. history. In this episode, we uncover the overlooked tragedy that was overshadowed by national mourning. Through historical records, survivor accounts, and expert insights, we explore how outdated building codes, inadequate staffing, and a lack of fire protections created the perfect storm. We also examine how this disaster became a turning point that transformed safety standards for care facilities across the country. Join us as we shine a light on the forgotten victims, the systemic failures that doomed them, and the reforms their loss helped inspire.
