Many older patients are having mobility issues so Mom or Dad making a visit to the Doctor means you taking time off from your work, driving them to the Doctor’s office, waiting (forever it seems) in a crowded waiting room with them, and being exposed to who knows what diseases. And on top of that for many patients having leave home is a cause for worry in case they have a fall injury just trying to get to the Doctor and back!
Historically, Doctors making visits to the patient’s home was the norm. Why move a sick person long distances and make them even sicker when... Read More

Medicare making huge cut to care! They say it is a miracle cure for fraud but it’s really snake oil!
Because of a new Medicare project, your Doctor, who knows best when Medicare home health would benefit you, will no longer have the final say in prescribing post-acute and chronic care management services that they deem medically necessary for their patients. Instead, a government bureaucrat will decide if you or your Mom gets the life saving care they need.
