Our Loss Can Be Your Gain: Save Our Seniors -- A Movement

The Haves and The Have Nots or Have Less

If you have the ways and means you may avoid or at least minimize the challenges and even the atrocities --neglect, abuse and other ways and means of jeopardizing the lives of residents of Skilled Nursing Centers/Long Term Care Facilities.

If, like us, you don’t, you may endure a life of hell on earth trying to survive what “THE SYSTEM” does to you and to your loved one.

Please don’t think it can’t happen to you. You may have Long Term Care Insurance; savings accumulated; a strong family unit. You believe you’re “safe” and have “planned for” the future, the inevitable, whatever.

Join the line of people I’ve talked with who had these and more and still found:

·        LTC Insurance declined coverage of many items and they assumed the burden of paying or not getting needed services

·        Savings ran out; lifespan miscalculated or term of insurance not enough or coverage didn’t pay rising costs

·        Family members were supportive in the beginning but conflicts arose, or people living at a distance couldn’t provide their “share” of support or some other lessening of ability to help

·        Once in the Medicaid System, which all were forced to enter, their “loved ones” were considered “on the dole” and those services so widely advertised as available were reduced due to cutbacks or running out of funding.

·        They tried diligently to work to support themselves and their own families only to find the “support” from the DHSS and other agencies was limited to directing them to websites and other local agencies that told them they didn’t qualify or their loved one could receive one hour a month of “help”.

ARE WE TO ABANDON THOSE WE LOVE BECAUSE THEY LIVED, SURVIVED AND NOW NEED SUPPORT?
