Dear Friends:
|
Welcome to the second issue of Aging Well Digest.
Each month I plan to share with you some of the best, most useful, and informative news for seniors that I encounter in the course of my work. I hope you will find something useful in each edition.
In this issue, you will find links to articles that address "observation only" hospital visits, sleep issues in assisted living facilities, mediation for families with seniors, and an essay on aging and creativity.
Of
course I am here to work with you if you need more personalized help with any of these issues or
other aging related concerns. Your first hour of consultation is free in order for us to determine if and how I can help you.
Thanks, Jeff

This article from Kaiser Health News and the Washington Post notes that "observation only" hospital stays are on the increase. In these cases, the patient is not officially "admitted" and therefore cannot make use of many of their Medicare benefits.
