This Week in Caregiving: October 22-28 from National Alliance for Caregiving of Bethesda, Maryland, United States for Friday, 28 October 2016 "This Week in Caregiving from the National Alliance for Caregiving
Here are the highlights from this week's news in family caregiving:
Next Avenue | October 26, 2016
"The National Alliance for Caregiving's President and CEO Gail Hunt was honored as one of Next Avenue's 2016 Influencers in Aging. Next Avenue, public media's first and only digital publication dedicated to covering issues for older Americans, has recognized 50 advocates, researchers, though leaders, innovators, writers, and experts at the forefront of changing how we age and think about aging."
Huffington Post | October 25, 2016
"Are you or a loved one facing a serious illness? With illness, there are often many uncertainties of the next steps. Time, pain management, symptoms, and financial unknowns can become a burden. The emotional toll of hospital stays, multiple doctor visits, confusing prescriptions, and "what if' conversations can be daunting and fearful. For the chronically ill and actively dying, there is an alternative care approach, palliative care."
Next Avenue | October 28, 2016
"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, collector and keeper of the nation's health care data, says three in four Americans over the age of 65 are living with one or more chronic medical conditions. If your loved one is further along in the progression of a condition or is living with multiple chronic conditions - conditions that require them to see different specialists, take multiple medications and adhere to complex and sometimes conflicting treatment regimens - they may need help."
Kaiser Health News | October 28, 2016
"The federal government is temporarily blocking more health insurance companies from automatically moving customers who become eligible for Medicare into Medicare Advantage plans while officials review the controversial practice. They also will issue rules soon for plans that already have permission to make these switches, known as 'seamless conversion.'"
