NURSING HOMES

September 12, 2025- In light of an investigation by the state attorney general's office revealing dangerous neglect by a nursing home operator in Syracuse, we explore the oversight of nursing facilities with Richard Mollot, executive director of the Long Term Care Community Coalition.

In this episode of Thinking Like a Bank, host Sarry Ibrahim returns after a year-long break to share important updates about the firm and dive into one of the biggest financial challenges many families face: the cost of nursing home care.Sarry discusses why long-term care can quickly become one of the most significant expenses in someone's life, and how strategies like Medicaid planning and Medicaid-compliant annuities can provide relief without draining a lifetime of savings. He explains what Medicaid covers, who qualifies, and how families can navigate the complex rules around assets, income, and the five-year lookback period.

What would you do if you knew there was a 70% chance a meteor would hit your home? You'd move, right? According to the Department of Health and Human Services, that's the same probability seniors face for needing long-term care—yet most aren't prepared for the financial impact.Nursing homes in North Carolina now cost between $8,000-$13,000 monthly, amounting to a staggering $100,000-$150,000 annually. Without proper planning, these expenses can quickly deplete a lifetime of savings and even force the sale of your family home. But there's good news: with advance planning, you can protect what you've worked so hard to build while ensuring you receive the care you need.Attorneys Greg McIntyre and Haley Matson outline powerful asset protection strategies including irrevocable trusts that shield investments and savings from being counted for benefits purposes. They explain how LadyBird Deeds allow you to maintain control of your home during your lifetime while protecting it from Medicaid recovery after death. Essential legal documents like Powers of Attorney prevent court-appointed guardianship and empower trusted individuals to implement asset protection strategies if you become incapacitated. As Attorney McIntyre emphasizes, "Preparation is better than cramming the night before for the test"—a few degrees off course now can put you in the wrong place years later.Don't risk losing everything you've worked for to pay for long-term care. Schedule a free consultation with the experienced team at McIntyre Elder Law by visiting mcintyreclderlaw.com/scheduling or calling 1-888-999-6600. Their comprehensive approach addresses both estate planning and benefits qualification to give you peace of mind and financial security as you age.

Many have been advised by a financial planner, estate planning attorney or other professional that they have enough assets to "self-insure" future LTC needs. The question is not "can I afford it?" but "Is this the best use of assets to fund future care needs?" This episode is full of questions you should be asking yourself and your advisors if they tell you you can afford to self-fund. Listen and schedule some time with me to consider the risk and search for the most cost-efficient ways to pay for extended care  View current and projected costs of care where you live Learn what your state Medicaid system lets you keep

Facing the possibility that you or your spouse might need nursing home care is daunting enough without the added stress of potential financial ruin. The stark reality—nursing homes cost between $10,000 and $15,000 monthly—means even substantial estates can be rapidly depleted, leaving a healthy spouse vulnerable.In this deeply informative conversation, Elder Law attorney Greg McIntyre and his colleague Jane Dearwester demolish common misconceptions about spousal protection while revealing powerful strategies to preserve assets. The duo emphasizes that marriage alone doesn't grant financial authority over a spouse's assets—a dangerous assumption many couples make. They detail why a comprehensive general durable power of attorney with specific gifting provisions serves as the essential "linchpin" for any protection plan.The attorneys explain two game-changing tools most people never hear about: Lady Bird deeds and Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts. Lady Bird deeds offer immediate home protection without Medicaid's five-year look-back period—allowing you to maintain complete control of your property while shielding it from recovery. For broader asset protection, irrevocable trusts create crucial separation between you and your assets while still allowing you to receive income benefits. As Greg explains, "You get the benefits as the lifetime income beneficiary and you get the benefit of the long-term care benefit. It's just a win-win."With 70% of people over 65 eventually needing long-term care, preparation isn't optional—it's essential. Take the first step toward protecting your spouse and preserving your legacy by scheduling a free consultation at mcelderlawcom/scheduling or calling 1-888-999-6600.

In this episode, we're joined by three advocates who have worked to raise the personal needs allowance (PNA) and improve the quality of life for nursing home residents in their states. The PNA is a small portion of income that Medicaid nursing home residents can keep each month to cover personal expenses such as clothing, snacks, cell phone bills, and other essentials that make life more comfortable. The federal minimum PNA has not been raised since 1987 and remains just $30 a month, less than one dollar a day. While states can set higher amounts, they currently range from $30 to $200 a month, leaving most residents with only $2 to $3 per day for discretionary spending. Join us as we hear from Bill Lamb, a lifelong advocate in North Carolina, along with resident advocates Ray DiFrancesco of New Jersey, and Jeanette Martinez of Connecticut, as they share their experiences raising the PNA in their states and their advice for others working toward the same goal.

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.

Kelly Richards, Illinois State Longterm Care Ombudsman, joins Megan Lynch

Urgent action is needed to embed nursing home care within a rights-based, sustainable and person-centred system, according to stakeholders. Nursing Homes Ireland is warning the sector faces deepening fragmentation, widening inequities and unsustainable pressure on residents, families and staff. A new Insights Paper identifies 10 thematic priorities, including human rights, safeguarding, equitable access and workforce planning. It says a person-centred approach must shape all future policy decisions. To discuss this further, Derrick Lynch was joined by Maurice Harvey, Clare Older People's Council Chair and Madge O'Callaghan, Kilbane resident.

This week, Todd Lustky explains the first steps when planning for last minute nursing home care. Todd also explains why trusts are often too complicated, the value of putting vehicles in a trust, and why you want more than just a will.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Judy Karofsky, author of “DISELDERLY CONDUCT: THE FLAWED BUSINESS OF ASSISTED LIVING AND HOSPICE.“

Judy Karofsky, author of “DISELDERLY CONDUCT: THE FLAWED BUSINESS OF ASSISTED LIVING AND HOSPICE,“ details the myriad issues related to the care of elderly individuals in assisted living and hospice settings. Judy shares personal experiences, including difficulties encountered in securing proper care for her mother, and highlights systemic problems like substandard care, lack of federal regulations, and the challenges posed by private equity's involvement in the senior care industry. She also outlines possible reforms and solutions, emphasizing the urgent need for federal oversight and better standards to ensure the well-being of seniors. The dialogue offers valuable insights for anyone looking to understand the complexities and necessary improvements in the care of older adults.

In our third week with our couple in their 80s, we consider options to obtain the most LTC benefits from annuities. If you already own annuities, check for a Chronic Illness rider or LTC rider.  If there is one, read it carefully as different rules apply to access enhanced benefits for care.  If you need help understanding your rider, ask me for guidance Some pay the LTC benefits tax-free and some don't.   Some require your need to be permanent, some don't. Some will enhance benefits for both cognitive and physical needs, and some don't. If you own an annuity (non-IRA) with a good amount of earnings, it can be repositioned to an annuity that can pay potentially three times the account value of the annuity, or more, tax-free when used for care.  This eliminates all the taxable gains your current annuity has earned over the years. If your annuity IS your LTC plan, there are wiser ways to use it than simply withdrawing the earnings and paying taxes on the gains. Schedule with me to learn more

One in three women ends up in a nursing home. The average life expectancy for women is 81. For many of us, we're already halfway there—yet we're still letting fear, comfort, and passivity decide for us.This isn't about fear-mongering—it's about waking up. Because you don't drift into a strong, vibrant, purposeful life at 80—you decide your way there.We'll unpack:- How delay gives fear the microphone and silences your calling- Why passivity wears the mask of wisdom (but steals your future)- The powerful connection between gratitude, giving, and becoming- What it means to age by design vs. age by default- Why the small, boring decisions you keep avoiding matter mostIf you've been waiting for the right time to step into the next version of yourself…This is your call to stop drifting and start deciding—on purpose.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - Intro(01:30) - Start of the training(04:40) - Gratitude vs. resentment(12:01) - Urgency matters (don't wait) (18:29) - Developing integrity & trust with yourself(21:20) - Final thoughtsCONNECT WITH ME ONLINE:‣ Fill out our Complimentary Health Assessment to receive customized guidelines for:- how much you should eat

Lauren welcomes Gulrukh Mehboob for a discussion about the impacts of relaxed staff training and licensing requirements on nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gul is a Fulbright PhD scholar at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, studying health workforce policy, particularly in long-term care settings. • Between March 2020 and September 2021, 19 states reduced CNA training and licensing requirements in an effort to address staffing shortages in nursing homes. • Gulrukh's study found that these policy changes did not improve CNA staffing levels in nursing homes, even though some scholars had argued that strict training and licensing requirements were a barrier to entering the field. • Gulrukh suggests that improving wages, benefits, and working conditions for CNAs may be more effective than reducing training and licensing requirements for addressing staffing shortages in nursing homes. • Her future research will explore the impact of other workforce policies, such as incentive-based programs and wage increases, on staffing and quality of care in nursing homes.
