Nursing Home Neglect – How Widespread is the Problem?
It is never an easy decision to place a loved one in a nursing home – as anyone who has ever done that knows only too well. Naturally, you hope and trust that the nursing home you have chosen is well run, safe and efficient. However, most people are surprised to realize just how widespread the problem of nursing home neglect is.
We have all seen the TV advertisements and infomercials for attorneys who promise to help you if you have an issue with nursing home neglect. And unfortunately, this emotive subject often makes the headlines as well – in February 2007, a California nursing home was fined $90,000 for its alleged role in the death of a resident from blood infection.

Understanding Medicare
Medicare 101
Understanding Medicare
This document was created to empower people with a better understanding of the Medicare system. A better understanding will help you make an informed decision, instead of being sold by a smooth talking salesman….. Yes I am an insurance professional, but I am a Christian first and abhor salesman that push products. I believe in educating consumers about all of their options. Once properly informed they will make the correct decision for themselves.
Medicare is a GREAT health insurance program!! The problem is most people feel intimidated by it. They are overwhelmed by the choices and get frustrated and ultimately turned off by the whole system. That is unfortunate, but hopefully this article will clear up some of these issues.
