As America's population ages, access to long-term care is becoming an increasingly urgent issue, especially in rural communities. In this episode, Lauren sits down with Dr. Hari Sharma to discuss the growing challenge of nursing home closures in rural America and what those closures mean for patients, families, and communities. While nursing homes have always opened and closed over time, recent years have seen an overall decline in the total number of facilities nationwide, creating new concerns about access to both post-acute and long-term care services. Dr. Sharma explains how researchers measure access to care, why rural communities are particularly vulnerable when facilities close, and what happens when older adults are forced to seek care farther from home. The conversation explores the financial pressures facing nursing homes, workforce shortages, Medicaid reimbursement challenges, and the growing gap between the care rural residents need and the services available to them. The episode also examines potential solutions, including expanding home-based care, investing in assisted living and adult day programs, and reimagining how rural nursing home facilities can serve multiple community needs. Whether you're caring for aging parents, working in healthcare, or simply interested in the future of rural health, this episode offers valuable insight into a challenge that will affect more and more families in the years ahead.

When the Biden Administration announced its intent to implement a minimum staffing standard, the nursing home industry immediately responded with cries that a standard would result in closures, loss of money to nursing homes, and that the standards could not be met. These arguments, although unsupported by evidence, were effective and resulted in the current administration rescinding the staffing rule in March. Now, a new research paper shows that the implementation of state staffing standards over the years did not result in facility closures, paid for themselves, did not impact profit margins, and increased staffing levels. Join Consumer Voice's Sam Brooks who talks with Dr. Rachel Werner, one of the authors of the study, as they discuss the new paper and what it means for policymakers considering the implementation of staffing standards.

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.

Most families assume Medicaid will cover long-term care—until it forces them to sell assets. Long-term care is one of the biggest financial threats to family farms and generational assets. In this episode of Farming Without the Bank, Mary Jo and her guest, long-term care expert Michelle Prather, break down the reality of nursing home care, Medicaid planning, and why so many families end up forced to spend down their assets just to qualify for help. They explain the difference between Medicare and Medicaid, the five-year lookback rule, and how quickly lifetime savings can disappear when care is needed. The conversation also covers how long-term care insurance works, why planning earlier dramatically lowers costs, and how some policies can provide tax-free benefits while protecting land and businesses from forced liquidation. For farmers, ranchers, and landowners, the goal isn't just retirement planning—it's making sure the farm survives the transition between generations. Without preparation, long-term care costs can quietly undo decades of work. Key Takeaways: • Why Medicare does not pay for long-term nursing home care • How the Medicaid spend-down rules can impact farms and land ownership • The 5-year Medicaid lookback rule explained • Why many families end up selling assets to qualify for care • How modern long-term care policies can provide tax-free income for care • Why buying coverage earlier dramatically lowers costs • How some policies include life insurance and cash value if care is never needed Chapters: 0:00 The Real Cost of Long-Term Care 1:40 Medicare vs Medicaid Explained 3:10 The Medicaid Spend-Down Rules 6:10 The 5-Year Lookback Rule 9:00 Why Families Lose Assets to Nursing Home Costs 12:30 The Reality of Medicaid Nursing Homes 15:20 How Long-Term Care Insurance Works 19:50 Strategies to Layer or Ladder Coverage 22:00 Using Inherited IRAs or Windfalls for LTC Planning 24:30 Life Insurance-Based Long-Term Care Policies

A few weeks ago, I was skimming this NEJM paper for UCSF's Division of Geriatrics Journal club on de-prescribing anti-hypertensive medications for older adults in nursing homes. Seemed to make a world of sense. The study found no difference between the deprescribing arm and the usual care arm in mortality, the primary study outcome. I thought, great! So we can deprescribe anti-hypertensives without changing mortality, that must be what the authors concluded. I was shocked, therefore, to read in the first paragraph of the discussion that the deprescribing arm did not achieve the hypothesized 25% reduction in mortality.  What?!?  Why would deprescribing be associated with reduced mortality? That's not the main reason or even the first reason I think of for deprescribing.  Reducing side effects that impair quality of life, sure. Less pill burden, of course.  But prolonged life?  Seemed a stretch. Today we hear from the first author of this study, Athanase Benetos, an esteemed geriatrician-researcher from France.  For context, we also interviewed Mike Steinman, co-chair of the Beers criteria and co-lead of the US Deprescribing Research Network. We learned about: Why the hypothesis of reduced mortality in deprescribing was justified, based on natural decreases in blood pressure with aging, and the Partridge study, an observational study that found higher risks of mortality associated with using multiple anti-hypertensive and low blood pressure. Why mortality was chosen as the primary outcome. Is a negative superiority study the same as what they might have found in a non-inferiority study? (stay with us) Variation in outcome by frailty status How to place this study in context with other research, such as the Danton study mentioned on a recent podcast about deprescribing near the end of life. Dantos was a study of deprescribing for nursing home residents with dementia that was stopped early due to safety concerns. Other studies for context include Sprint, Optimize, and an observational study by Bocheng Jing (UCSF statistician in our group). At the end, we ask our guests to put it together. With all that we know at this point, what's a clinician to do? To deprescribe or not to deprescribe? And, zoot alors! I get to sing Hymne A L'amour in French!

The long-term care system is one of the most important issues families will face, yet few people understand it until they are in the middle of a crisis.In this episode of Love Conquers Alz, hosts Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess welcome Lindsay Friedman, a care advocate, writer, and educator dedicated to transforming how families navigate aging, caregiving, and long-term care.  Lindsay is a four-time healthcare startup founder on a mission to solve real-world problems in caregiving and long-term care. (Our kind of girl!!)Lindsay's perspective is uniquely powerful. She has experienced the system from every side: as a nursing assistant working in memory care and nursing homes, as a family caregiver, and even as a care recipient herself.She shares how these experiences inspired the creation of two groundbreaking platforms:• CareBloom – a technology designed to help families monitor caregiving tasks and ensure accountability in care environments• LTC Nav – a free planning resource helping families understand the financial and logistical realities of long-term care before crisis strikesTogether, Susie, Don, and Lindsay dive into the real challenges families face, including:• The lack of accountability in many care facilities• Why planning for long-term care earlier is essential• The emotional realities of caregiving and aging• How technology could improve oversight and protect vulnerable patients• The importance of empathy and dignity in caregivingThis conversation is honest, emotional, and deeply informative. It reminds us that while the system may be broken, awareness, planning, and compassion can make a powerful difference.Because at the end of the day, the heart of caregiving is simple:Love.LTC Nav on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube EMAIL: hello@LTCareNav.comCarebloom on Facebook, Instagram, Send us Fan MailSupport the showNo Country For Old People; a Nursing Home Exposé is STREAMING NOW on Amazon Prime (https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0F7D1RR5X/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r) Visit the No Country For Old People Website for more information.Please watch.

Modern neuroscience confirms something our bodies already know: the brain was designed to move. Physical activity stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), improves neuroplasticity, protects the hippocampus, and reduces the risk of cognitive decline. As a neurologist and chiropractor, I see the consequences of inactivity every day—degeneration of joints, loss of balance, neurological slowing, and early dependence on others for basic life functions. The truth is simple: movement is medicine for both the brain and the body.That is why I say, “I'd rather be the oldest person in the gym than the youngest person in the nursing home.” Exercise is not about vanity or appearance—it is about independence. Strength preserves dignity, balance prevents falls, and physical challenge keeps the nervous system alive and adaptable. The gym is not a punishment; it is a commitment to your future self. Train today so that decades from now you can still walk, move, think clearly, and live life on your own terms.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about aging well.

Transitions from the hospital to nursing homes or other post-acute care settings are critical moments for patient safety—especially when antibiotics are involved. In this episode of the SHEA Podcast, host Dr. Lauren Gleason discusses the real-world challenges of managing antibiotics during these transitions with experts Dr. Susan Huang, Dr. Swati Gaur, and Chad Worz, PharmD. The conversation explores common barriers such as medication availability, timing of doses, pharmacy logistics, cost considerations, and monitoring needs. Our speakers share practical insights on how clearer communication and better coordination between hospitals, nursing homes, and pharmacies can reduce errors, prevent missed doses, and support safer, more effective antibiotic care. This episode was developed in collaboration with the Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed) and the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP). Resources: - "You Can Help!

Welcome to the Legal Nurse Podcast, hosted by Pat Iyer, where we explore the complex and often alarming world of healthcare regulation and litigation. In this episode, Pat Iyer is joined by Ernest Tosh, an attorney, data scientist, and prosecutor with extensive experience in the nursing home industry. Together, they examine the financial and ethical structure of American nursing homes, exploring how profitability and proper care often come into conflict, sometimes resulting in both legal and illegal practices. Through candid conversation, Ernest Tosh explains the financial motivations behind understaffing, one of the most common and profitable issues in nursing homes, highlighting how reducing staff can increase profits by millions, but at a serious cost to resident well-being. The discussion also explores the types of avoidable injuries, such as falls, malnutrition, dehydration, and pressure sores, that commonly result from inadequate staffing. Ernest Tosh shares stories from his own legal practice, providing real-life examples of care failures and the legal consequences that follow. The episode also addresses financial and clinical liability, fraud detection, whistleblowing, and the impact on staff caught in ethical dilemmas. Listeners will learn about the Federal Rules of Evidence, how experts summarize complex medical records for litigation, and the ways nursing homes manipulate rating systems and billing practices to increase profits and conceal deficiencies. Whether you are a healthcare professional, legal consultant, or someone interested in healthcare reform, this episode offers insight into the realities of nursing home care and the role nurses and attorneys play in uncovering facts and pursuing accountability. What You'll Learn in This Episode on Unpacking Nursing Home Fraud Tactics and Legal Challenges with Ernest Tosh Here are 5 discussion questions answered in the podcast: What are the financial incentives for nursing homes to understaff, and how does Ernest Tosh explain the scale of profitability gained through this practice? How does understaffing directly impact the health and well-being of nursing home residents, according to Ernest Tosh's litigation experience? What kinds of preventable injuries occur most frequently in understaffed nursing homes, and why are these injuries avoidable? How can expert witnesses, like Ernest Tosh and Pat Iyer, use the Federal Rules of Evidence to summarize complex medical and financial records for a judge or jury? What is the distinction between careless documentation and deliberate fraud in nursing home medical charting, and what consequences can arise from each?
