Welcome back to Nursing Homes Tomorrow, where we explore real experiences from vibrant retirement communities across the country. Today, we're taking you inside The Manor on Bankers Hill, a charming independent senior living community nestled right in the heart of San Diego. Let's take a walk through a day in the life at The Manor.The Manor is designed for active seniors who want to live independently but within a warm and social environment. Located in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood, residents love how close they are to Balboa Park. One resident even shares how she walks to her volunteer job at the Museum of Natural History — and then on to her bridge club afterward!Safety and peace of mind are top priorities here. For those with health concerns, like one resident with a heart condition, the 24/7 emergency call system offers a great sense of security — allowing residents to live independently with confidence.And when it comes to food, well… it doesn't disappoint. Residents enjoy plentiful, tasty meals — and there's even a cozy pub on-site that's become a favorite spot for dining and gathering.Another standout feature? The library. It's a favorite hangout for many, with an impressive selection of new books always being added. If a resident wants something specific — even a niche title about royalty — the staff is happy to order it.Life at The Manor also includes weekly trips to grocery stores like Ralphs and Trader Joe's, along with organized sightseeing outings to beautiful places like La Jolla and Coronado. Everything is thoughtfully arranged and easy to enjoy.But what really sets The Manor apart is its staff. They're kind, attentive, and go out of their way to know residents' names, preferences, and even those little quirks — like how someone takes their coffee or what their favorite dessert is.Despite being surrounded by million-dollar high-rises, The Manor offers a truly affordable option. And perhaps most importantly, it doesn't feel like a business — it feels like a mission. As one resident put it: “You can tell it's not for profit. It's here to help people who need a home.”This particular resident, who has been widowed twice, found not just a place to live, but a place to belong — a community that brings comfort, friendship, and joy in everyday living. So if you're looking for a place that feels like home — with good meals, great company, and genuine care — The Manor on Bankers Hill might just be the little piece of heaven you're searching for.For more information visit:St. Paul's Senior Services: https://www.stpaulseniors.orgSt. Paul's PACE: https://www.stpaulspace.org/

In this compelling episode of the Senior Matters Podcast, estate planning attorney Mark E. Wight welcomes Robert Vande Merwe, Executive Director of the Idaho Health Care Association, for an overview of what seniors can expect from the 2025 Legislative Session. We think it's important to share what might be impacted by new legislation on senior healthcare services across Idaho. Together, they discuss how Idaho's senior care facilities—including skilled nursing homes, assisted living centers, and in-home care providers—are struggling to hire and retain qualified staff, particularly in rural areas. Vande Merwe sheds light on how Medicaid reimbursement rates often fall below minimum wage levels, making it nearly impossible for providers to remain financially stable without sacrificing the quality of care. Listeners will also learn about a recent legislative shift toward managed care and how it may further limit access to services for seniors and people with disabilities. Vande Merwe shares why now is the time for families to get involved—whether by contacting legislators, supporting elder care organizations, or making personal financial plans for future healthcare needs. Whether you're a caregiver, healthcare professional, policymaker, or simply planning for retirement, this episode delivers a powerful call to action. This is the episode 1 of 2. Understand the impact of state funding decisions, learn what advocacy efforts are underway, and explore how proper estate planning can help safeguard your access to care. Key topics covered: Idaho's senior care workforce Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement How legislative changes affect access to long-term care The risks of underfunded elder care systems Action steps for Idaho families to plan ahead

Originally uploaded December 23rd, re-edited February 27th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Julie Lowenthal, Program and Advocacy Specialist, AgeWays Nonprofit Senior Services (Area Agency on Aging), Southfield, MI. Questions 1. Can you help listeners understand the scope of unpaid caregiving in Michigan and what this means for our workforce? 2. How are rising costs and inflation specifically impacting family caregivers across Michigan? 3. We're seeing healthcare worker shortages forcing many people to reduce work hours or leave their jobs entirely. What impact is this having on Michigan families? 4. What specific programs does AgeWays offer to help families manage these pressures? 5. How can employers better support their employees who are juggling work and caregiving responsibilities? 6. As we head into the holiday season, what should families be discussing about caregiving plans? 7. What solutions do you see on the horizon to prevent caregiving from becoming an economic hardship for more Michigan families? Talking Points: Their phone number, it is 800-895-852-7795. The Area Agency on Aging 1-B is now AgeWays Nonprofit Senior Services! New Name. Same great people. Same great programs. Our new name reflects what we do best: Helping older adults age in the ways they choose. Please note my updated email address and add it to your address book. For more information on our new name, visit AgeWays.org/NewName. ● The Scale of Caregiving in Michigan ○ Magnitude: Michigan has over 1.3 million unpaid caregivers, many balancing caregiving responsibilities with paid employment. ○ Economic Value: These caregivers provide an estimated $15 billion worth of unpaid care annually. ● Economic Pressures on Caregivers ○ Lost Income: Many caregivers reduce work hours or leave jobs entirely, resulting in lost wages and retirement savings. ○ Out-of-Pocket Costs: Caregivers often spend 20-25% of their income on care-related expenses, including medical supplies, home modifications, and transportation. ○ Impact on Employers: Caregiver stress and absenteeism cost U.S. businesses $50 billion annually in lost productivity. ● The Caregiving Workforce Crisis ○ Shortages in Paid Care: Michigan faces a critical shortage of direct care workers, with low wages and high turnover exacerbating the issue. ○ Economic Ripple Effects: Without enough paid caregivers, families bear more responsibility, further straining household budgets and economic stability. ● Broader Economic Impacts ○ Workforce Participation: Caregiving responsibilities often force women, who make up the majority of caregivers, to scale back their careers, contributing to gender wage gaps. ○ Healthcare Costs: Lack of adequate caregiving can lead to increased hospitalizations and long-term care admissions, driving up healthcare costs for individuals and the state. ● Policy Solutions and Advocacy ○ Paid Family Leave: Expanding paid leave policies could help caregivers balance work and care, reducing economic strain. ○ Direct Care Worker Wages: Increasing wages and benefits for paid caregivers would strengthen the workforce and support families. ○ Tax Credits: Enhancing tax credits for family caregivers could offset some out-of-pocket costs. ○ Community Support Programs: Investing in respite care, transportation services, and caregiver training programs could alleviate pressures. ● A Call to Action for Businesses ○ Employer Support: Businesses can adopt flexible work policies, caregiving benefits, and employee assistance programs to retain and support caregiver employees. ○ Public-Private Partnerships: Collaborating with government and nonprofit organizations can create innovative solutions to caregiving challenges. ● Why Caregiving is an Economic Priority ○ Aging Population: With Michigan's population rapidly aging, the economic impact of caregiving will only grow.
