November 8, 2021

Spread The Word About Your Services Before Thanksgiving

ADULT CHILDREN DESPERATE BEFORE & AFTER THANKSGIVING FEARING 0r SEEING PARENTAL DECLINE & Their CONTINUING FEAR OF COVID

Prepare for Holiday Rush, since the family – both nearly normal & dysfunctional family gather on Thanksgiving. During the holiday visit when family members see a frightening change, in aging parents like burnt turkey to the right, your blog is an alert for many, many aging families to start thinking about how their family might organize care for a loved one or if they need a care manager to guide them through the whole wrenching process. So you need to prepare for this holiday rush by amping up your blog or any marketing with horsepower & torque on steroids. Great social media will do that for your marketing to get overwhelming clicks, opens, and new clients

GET Help WITH SOCIAL MEDIA TIP FOR PRE HOLIDAY RUSH

Natasha Beauchamp a Content Marketing and care management technology expert will be joining me on my new webinar on November 16th to teach you pre-Holiday Social Media. Holiday experienced care managers will tell you that the week after Thanksgiving and the weeks after Christmas and New Year, the phones start ringing. Families have come back from a holiday visit and have been shocked to realize the decline in their parents’ health or functioning. So you really need to prepare for Holiday Rush

This is the care manager equivalent of Christmas for retailers.

And like a retailer, you would be wise to get ready and be very “discoverable” as these potential clients look for answers.

Confused about Care Manager Technology?

August 11, 2021

Beware of Paper

Some care managers still function on paper instead of using a care management database. That is a bad business decision. You need to give clients gold standard service to retain them . Arming your care managers with the most user-friendly fully loaded client database makes that concierge care so much easier to deliver. This gives your care management or homecare agency a more profitable bottom line in running a business. So spending money on a client database makes more money.

What are the ALCA Choices for a GCM Database?

Using a database rather than paper will increase your revenue by 30%. You enter case notes and billing in real time rather than hours later when you get back to the office, when you forget exact billing time.There are only five significant aging life or geriatric care management client databases. So the choices for client software are slim. Jewel Code has been around for many years. More recent additions are Care Tree and ihealthhome My Junna is the newest product. Care managers and ALCA managers are fans of Clear Care, which offers staffing if you also have private duty home care but is not user friendly for geriatric care managers. If you are a geriatric or aging life care manager or a private duty home care agency doing geriatric care management- which GCM Software should you use and why. Find what you need in your client database and check out each product to see if it has what you want.

What Should a GCM DatabaseDo For You?

Here is a list of what a care management database should do for you

All Geriatric care manager or ALCA members should have the best GCM Software

choices. But Some care managers still function on paper instead of using GCM database .That is a bad business decision.

This gives your business a more profitable a bottom line in running a business. So spending money on a client database makes your more money.

What are the Four Geriatric Care Management Databases?

There are only four significant aging life or GCM Software Choices ? So the options for client software are slim. Jewel Code and My Junna are two choices. Care Tree I Health Home are two more options. Geriatric care managers and ALCA managers who

The 2 Deadliest US Sites of COVID-19 Nursing Homes & Prisons

May 2, 2020

PRISON INMATES AND NURSING HOME PATIENTS NOT 6FT APART – 6 FEET UNDER

70% of inmates in federal prisons have COVID-19. In Kansas, the Lansing Correctional Facility had a riot of inmates over COVID-19 lack of care or protection It took the rebellion to get the coronavirus testing PPE and care. The Bureau of Prisons in Kansas confirmed finally that 79 staff have coronavirus and 88 prisons and prisoners dead.

Older residents in nursing homes cannot rebel like prisoners. Many can’t even walk. The Atlantic Magazine just published an article, We are Killing Elders Now. The writer states “In at least six states, these fatalities account for half of all COVID-19 deaths, and according to the World Health Organization, half of all coronavirus fatalities in Europe have been traced to nursing homes too. Some of this mortality is linked to long-term-care facilities that are shoddily run or that violate health standards. But most of them are doing the best they can with what they have. And they don’t have much”.

KAISER FOUNDATION NURSING HOME STAFFING AND USE OF PPE NOT REQUIRED IN MOST STATES

Kaiser reports -Staff Screening. It is more common for states to recommend rather than require daily screening of staff for illness in NFs (24 states recommend, 16 states + DC require)

Use of PPE. More states recommend (23 states) than require (7 states + DC) staff to use PPE

Two States that require testing for coronavirus of ALL residents of nursing homes are Maryland where 556 have died as of the Washington Post article. and Tennessee

THE FEDS HAVE NO CMS FEDERAL GUIDELINES OR REPORTING

We have no federal guidelines for safety testing according to an article by the Kaiser Foundation

It is now estimated that 16,000 deaths have occurred in nursing homes and that is without the federal government revealing any numbers and not making available any testing. But the numbers are probably huge- if we could just do testing.

CMS announced it would have a meeting of a “panel” of experts “ sometime at the end of May”. After probably 20,000 older people died and the feds did nothing this shows their sense of urgency about this pandemic’s national “elder cleansing”.

WHAT CONNECTS PRISONS AND NURSING HOMES – CONCENTRATION CAMPS

So, what is the connection between the viral spread of COVID-19 in nursing homes and prisons- 6 feet ? Prisoners and residents, in nursing homes, and prisons cannot social distance. Jails and prisons have human beings crammed together with no choice. Nursing homes have 2 beds or if you are on Medicaid three to a room. Neither group has a choice to social distance. They are ” concentrated” as in concentration camps or death camps.

Do SOMETHING – HELP NURSING HOMES PREVENT MORE CARNAGE

So, as someone who has spent her career in aging, I am calling out to everyone, especially professional in aging – do something. Since the feds appear to be doing little- call your congressman, write a letter to the editor.

BE KIND LIKE RACHEL MADDOW REPORTS LA JEWISH HOME LA WAS

Rachel Maddow suggests calling your local nursing homes and see what they need. Be kind like the LA Jewish Home was to a smaller nursing home LA Brier Oaks. They wanted to test their residents and had no tests and the larger LA Jewish Home had tests and shared them with the smaller as a good neighbor. What they found was ravaging but it also showed caring and generosity. Care and be generous and show the helpless elders in nursing homes in your town you are opposed to -nursing home being prisons or concentration camps.
