Download or read book Free Long Term Care written by Taylor Willingham and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I nibbled on a Jack in the Box breaded curly fry and felt my heartbeat accelerate. I braced myself on the table and took a few deep breaths. I became hyper-aware of the smooth jazz playing over the speakers. My chest wouldn't stop pounding. I took another bite. The restaurant rocked like a ship in a hurricane. My friend, Jeff, was talking, "This could be the last time we'll be able to eat lunch together for a long time. I can't risk my kid getting the coronavirus. I think I'm having a heart attack." I think I said it out loud, but it was to no one in particular. Jeff was busy ordering a burger and a large fry. "Put your head between your legs." He turned back to the counter and continued to order. "Yes, I'm thinking the number two, but I'm not sure."My heart rapped out an incessant staccato, and my chest began to tighten. "This is it," I thought. "Taylor Phillip Willingham will die of a heart attack in a Jack in the Box in the middle of a pandemic. The coroner will have to clean ketchup off of my tie."Jeff strolled over and examined my face. "You don't look so good. Maybe we should go to the hospital? Oh, wait. Maybe not."I hurried back to my office and slammed the door. I called in one of my employees, Brittni. She had me call her husband, who was a firefighter. "You are just having a panic attack," he assured me, before returning to people who were surely in greater trouble than I.I slumped down in my chair and thought about how the night before, I woke up at 3 AM, drenched in sweat. I was having a nightmare that I was in the ICU, plugged into countless machines, unable to speak with my family. My wife had the sole power of attorney for my law firm and title company, but she didn't know how to run them. The company crumbled. That morning, I drafted a resolution that put three trusted employees, Jamie, Mark, and Kellianne, in charge of my businesses if something happened to me. I'm an estate planning attorney, but I still had failed to set up my businesses to run for just a few weeks without me.COVID-19 is a sobering situation. I have five children and a wife, and the thought of losing any of them to this disease terrifies me. Despite the public awareness of the virus, very few realize that far more of us will be incapacitated from this disease than will die from it. You might want to brush all of this aside and just "think positive". I have heard that point of view so many times that I wrote a whole book on the matter. You will die, and all that will be left are memories. Any money you leave behind will quickly be spread out and used up. The most important things that outlive you, the people you have loved and the relationships you have created can be either strengthened or irreparably damaged by the way you structure your legacy. It is your choice. But I digress. This book focuses on incapacitation, not death. I work with clients every day who are in this situation. Who do not have access to funds. Who have no one to assist them in their weakest moments. I'm not a doctor, so this book will not focus on COVID-19, but as an elder law attorney, I can teach you exactly what to do if you or your loved one becomes disabled.
Download or read book Who Will Care For Us written by Paul Osterman and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of elderly and disabled adults who require assistance with day-to-day activities is expected to double over the next twenty-five years. As a result, direct care workers such as home care aides and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) will become essential to many more families. Yet these workers tend to be low-paid, poorly trained, and receive little respect. Is such a workforce capable of addressing the needs of our aging population? In Who Will Care for Us? economist Paul Osterman assesses the challenges facing the long-term care industry. He presents an innovative policy agenda that reconceives direct care workers’ work roles and would improve both the quality of their jobs and the quality of elder care. Using national surveys, administrative data, and nearly 120 original interviews with workers, employers, advocates, and policymakers, Osterman finds that direct care workers are marginalized and often invisible in the health care system. While doctors and families alike agree that good home care aides and CNAs are crucial to the well-being of their patients, the workers report poverty-level wages, erratic schedules, exclusion from care teams, and frequent incidences of physical injury on the job. Direct care workers are also highly constrained by policies that specify what they are allowed to do on the job, and in some states are even prevented from simple tasks such as administering eye drops. Osterman concludes that broadening the scope of care workers’ duties will simultaneously boost the quality of care for patients and lead to better jobs and higher wages. He proposes integrating home care aides and CNAs into larger medical teams and training them as “health coaches” who educate patients on concerns such as managing chronic conditions and transitioning out of hospitals. Osterman shows that restructuring direct care workers’ jobs, and providing the appropriate training, could lower health spending in the long term by reducing unnecessary emergency room and hospital visits, limiting the use of nursing homes, and lowering the rate of turnover among care workers. As the Baby Boom generation ages, Who Will Care for Us? demonstrates the importance of restructuring the long-term care industry and establishing a new relationship between direct care workers, patients, and the medical system.

Download or read book The Politics of Medicaid written by Laura Katz Olson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-31 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1965, the United States government enacted legislation to provide low-income individuals with quality health care and related services. Initially viewed as the friendless stepchild of Medicare, Medicaid has grown exponentially since its inception, becoming a formidable force of its own. Funded jointly by the national government and each of the fifty states, the program is now the fourth most expensive item in the federal budget and the second largest category of spending for almost every state. Now, under the new, historic health care reform legislation, Medicaid is scheduled to include sixteen million more people. Laura Katz Olson, an expert on health, aging, and long-term care policy, unravels the multifaceted and perplexing puzzle of Medicaid with respect to those who invest in and benefit from the program. Assessing the social, political, and economic dynamics that have shaped Medicaid for almost half a century, she helps readers of all backgrounds understand the entrenched and powerful interests woven into the system that have been instrumental in swelling costs and holding elected officials hostage. Addressing such fundamental questions as whether patients receive good care and whether Medicaid meets the needs of the low-income population it is supposed to serve, Olson evaluates the extent to which the program is an appropriate foundation for health care reform.
