Podcasts about nursing home care

Imagine being penalized for delivering good care to your frailest patients. Medicare's quality scoring program was built for healthy outpatients, not the elderly residents of nursing homes, but it is the system doctors who round in skilled nursing facilities are forced to play. Steve Buslovich, a physician executive and geriatrician, discusses the KevinMD article "How Medicare's MIPS impacts skilled nursing facilities and clinicians." You'll hear how MIPS metrics conflict with the five-star quality measures facilities must report, why tightly controlling A1C in frail elders can cause harm, and how documentation discrepancies between physicians and facilities create financial and legal risk for both. You'll learn which nine measures actually fit post-acute long-term care, why CMS needs frailty-based quality metrics, and how AI and synced EHRs can pull data automatically so clinicians can get back to the bedside. If you practice in or operate a nursing home, this conversation names the rules of a game you didn't choose to play. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most. Whether you need a sponsored article, email campaign, video interview, or a spot right here on the podcast, I offer the trusted space your brand deserves to be heard.

What if the fastest way to grow your healthcare organization is to slow down? In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott Middleton returns from Scotland straight into the thick of a merger — and what he's learning is reshaping how he thinks about change itself. Scott takes us inside the integration of TCPA and Providence Care into Your Health, where two very different models are colliding. One organization built 640 billing codes last year; the other built 40. One puts a single nurse practitioner in a building with no support; the other surrounds providers with nurses and community health workers. The opportunity is enormous — but so is the risk of moving too fast and scaring everyone away. What if the fastest way to grow your healthcare organization is to slow down?

The opportunity is enormous — but so is the risk of moving too fast and scaring everyone away. In this conversation, Jamie and Scott explore: Why a nurse practitioner alone is a "single source of failure" — and how staffing changes everything How to enter a building without threatening the provider they already love Why billing isn't bureaucracy — it's how Medicare knows you made a difference The art of giving people what they think they need now, and the rest over time Advanced care planning, DNRs, and why the right message sometimes needs a different voice This is a masterclass in change management disguised as a healthcare conversation. Listen now — and rethink what "disruption" really requires.

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

In this conversation, Dorothy Wilhelm speaks with Zane Sundberg, a director of nursing at a skilled nursing facility, about the misconceptions surrounding assisted living and nursing homes. They discuss the evolution of care in these facilities, emphasizing the importance of personalized activities and a home-like environment. Zane shares insights on how to choose the right care facility and the significance of breaking down stigmas associated with nursing homes. The conversation highlights the positive changes in elder care and the importance of maintaining independence for residents. Takeaways The stigma surrounding nursing homes is prevalent but changing. Personalized care and activities are essential for resident satisfaction. Facilities are moving towards a more home-like environment. It's important to tour facilities before making a decision. Breaking down barriers can lead to better care outcomes. Residents often find joy and comfort in their new environments. Not all nursing homes provide the same level of care. Resources like carecompare.com can help families make informed decisions. Maintaining independence is a key focus in modern nursing homes. Support from family and friends is crucial for acceptance of care.

"Skilled nursing facility." "Post-acute care facility." "Rehabilitation hospital." Whatever they're called, they all mean the same thing: what most of us think of as a nursing home.

Susan MacLeod is the author of Dying for Attention: A Graphic Memoir of Nursing Home Care.

It's a scenario you'd never want to imagine — let alone experience — but it happens more often than you'd think. After doing hours and hours of research, and asking all the right questions to a list of skilled nursing facility candidates for a loved one who needs long-term care, you decided on what you believe was the best option. Later on, you come to find out that your loved one failed to receive the care they were promised and showed signs of abuse. If you're like many people, you may have thought that facilities like the one you chose were guided by a sense of duty to the vulnerable and dependent residents they serve. But unfortunately, skilled nursing facilities are almost invariably for-profit businesses that put a very high premium on their bottom line, sometimes to the detriment of their residents.  To find out what you can do to ensure that your loved one gets the best possible care in their nursing facility, we're pleased to welcome Shahrad Milanfar, of Milanfar Law in Walnut Creek, who helps victims of nursing home abuse and neglect. Shahrad has substantial court-tested experience with nursing home abuse cases and takes pride in being a persistent voice for clients during litigation. His selection to the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 for 2022-23 is a testimonial to his skill and knowledge in court — both of which he continues to teach as an adjunct professor at the Golden Gate University School of Law. In this episode, we're going to discuss: The proactive steps that family members can take to ensure that the skilled nursing facility they've chosen is held accountable for their loved one's proper care. The defining characteristics that nursing home neglect cases usually have. Why Covid made proper skilled nursing care more challenging, and how its aftermath has made accountability easier. Why claims that a skilled nursing facility resident is exhibiting “unreasonable” behavior doesn't excuse the facility from providing sub-par care, and the specific questions you should ask if you suspect this is the case. Several resources you can turn to if you suspect a loved one is showing signs of neglect or abuse.  And more! Deciding to entrust the care of a loved one to a skilled nursing facility is a tough decision. If you have suspicions that the care they're receiving isn't living up to the standards that were promised — or worse, if that care amounts to outright neglect or abuse — it can be devastating! With this episode, we hope you'll gain a better understanding of your options and how to better protect a loved one from abuse or neglect in long-term care.

How do you find out where they should go? What's the best fit? How do you evaluate? Today on the show Cary Hall and Senior Care Consultant Steve Kuker answer those questions and cover related topics like: Once you get into your eighties, you become frailer and it takes something very minor to make a major change in your lifestyle. It could be a fall, an illness that you just don't fully recover from and suddenly you need a lot more help than two months ago or maybe even last week. The change can come on very quickly when you have to say, okay, now that I'm not fully independent, I need some help. Can I remain independent in my home? And if so, what does that look like? Should I “age in place” and remodel the bathroom, get rid of the bathtub, and put in a walk-in tub or a zero-entry shower where someone can wheel me in on a shower chair? Another thing is what if you need personal care? Now we're looking at bringing in a home care company with non-medical, in-home assistance to help you on an hourly basis. And unfortunately, if you need help at least three days out of that seven for 3 hours for the laundry, clothing, food, and maybe help with bathing, shaving, whatever the case may be. You're looking at $300 a week, $1200 a month and that's minimal help and that may be just enough to help you stay home and avoid having to move somewhere more expensive, like $6000, $8000 to $9000 for assisted living per month, $9000 to about $15,000 a month to live in long term care, which is also known as a nursing home. If you need help, and this is only one scenario, Steve Kuker is a trusted specialist, a friend, and offers a service to can help you through this process when you need him. He also warns against using FREE Care Placement companies as they are often paid by facilities to direct people to them.

Robert Peterson's journey with his mother's poor nursing home care is unfortunate one that is familiar to thousands of nursing home residents and their families. It's one I've not only heard countless times, but one that I've witnessed. His mother, a frail, thin, woman with advancing dementia was at the receiving end of poor care, inadequate staff training, neglect and abuse at not only one, but two nursing homes. The second nursing home found the staff abandoning the patients altogether. Towards the end of this interview, you can the hear the sadness and the drain on Robert Peterson's heart strings as he fights back the tears. The story of Robert Peterson's mother is unfortunately not unique. In December of 2021, the New York Times published an investigative piece 'How Nursing Homes Worst Offenders Are Hidden From the Public The article's subtitle was: Thousands of problems identified by state inspectors were never publicly disclosed because of a secretive appeals process, a New York Times investigation found. This begs the question about the ability of the government oversight process to accurately inspect nursing homes and cite them for deficiencies. By not reporting bad actors and the situations that occur in these nursing homes, the government is essentially duping the public, Families and loved ones visit the government website to look up the information when trying to determine the appropriate place for their loved one to receive care. How can they make an informed decision if they don't have the entire picture. Who is to blame? Whatever the reason, the only people suffering are residents and their families. There have been numerous investigative reports and Government Studies exposing the nursing ills that are harmful to residents. . Robert's mother's story is heart wrenching. No one should have to endure this level of pain, not a son, and not any older adult. Do you have a story you'd like to share about nursing home care on SeniorsSTRAIGHTTalk?.

There is more and more interest in planning for the high cost of long-term care. But is there an age when it's too late to have the conversation?

Did you know that as of July 1, 2022, there will be some significant changes in the eligibility rules for Medi-Cal? Medi-Cal is the California implementation of Medicare and something that many people depend on. Unfortunately, if you need Medi-Cal help now, these changes won't be rolled out in time. But if Medi-Cal is something you're planning on down the road, then these new law changes may help. Many more Californians will qualify for this support to help pay for nursing home care without spending down their assets or doing complicated asset transfer planning. In a new episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten is joined by Absolute Trust Counsel's associate attorney, Madison Gunn. Together, they discuss the changing laws and what California residents can expect once enacted. Some questions they will answer include, What the new rules and requirements will be If these changes will impact Medicare and what the difference between Medicare and Medi-Cal is Who the law changes will not impact And more! So, whether you have yet to complete your Medi-Cal planning or estate planning, you won't want to miss out on Kirsten and Madison's information on the big changes coming to this law. And remember, it's never too early to plan for the future. We look forward to sharing these critical insights with you.
