Although the state and nonprofits agree that family members often provide the best care for the elderly at home, groups say New York isn't doing enough to help those providing services to these caregivers. Many caregivers hold down full-time jobs while caring for family members not deemed ill enough to qualify for Medicaid.
New Jersey nursing-home care is less affordable and patients are more likely to suffer bedsores or need trips to the hospital than in many other states, according to a new scorecard on long-term care for the elderly and disabled. Overall, New Jersey ranked in the second tier of states -- 22nd - - for choice, affordability, quality of care and support for family members who take care of the elderly and disabled at home. Home care was found to be more affordable here than elsewhere.

NASHVILLE - It's a challenge facing more families as America ages: providing elderly parents, grandparents and others with the care and help they need for daily living - at home. These are the "frail elderly" who need some help - maybe with getting around, getting dressed, bathed or with their meals and medicine - but don't need the 24-hour care of nursing homes or other skilled-care institutions.
Adult day care centers steadily are becoming a more affordable alternative to nursing homes and home health programs for those seeking care for elderly parents unable to stay at home alone. [...] the number of centers in the United States likely tops 3,500, said Peter Notarstefano, director of home and community-based services at the Arnerican Association of Homes & Services for the Aging in Washington, D.C. In central Indiana, roughly 25 such centers are operating, ranging from social models that have no nurse on staff, such as Joy's House, to medical providers that do.
Obamacare is a socialist law designed to take money from some Americans and use it to benefit others. The health care bill signed into law by President Obama is full of hidden time bombs. One costly provision buried in the lengthy reconciliation bill at the last minute has taxpayers covering long-term at-home care for the elderly. Through the so-called Community Living Assistance Services and Support Act (CLASS Act), Americans will find between $150 and $250 taken out of their paychecks each month to cover this program nobody knew about. Democrats claim this isn't a controversial program, but if they really believed that, they wouldn't have had to sneak the provision into the reconciliation bill. But it was snuck in the reconciliation bill only two days before the House vote.
Japanese robotics nerds last week announced the creation of the first robot which will be able to pretend to feel emotions and frown or smile according to its artificial consciousness. The humanoid robot named Kansei (Japanese for "sensibility" and "emotion") is powered by state-of-the-art speech recognition software which will enable the robot to recognize when humans are happy or sad and respond appropriately. After analyzing human speech and deciding on a response, the robot is then able to contort the artificial skin on its face in order to convey expressions. "Kansei is a comprehensive concept useful for the design of human interface. It includes sensibility, sensitivity, feeling and emotion," said professor Shigeki Sugano of Waseda University in Tokyo. In the future, they hope thi...

The new Adult Day Health Center will serve older adults enrolled in the Upham's Elder Service Plan, a PACE program operated by the Upham's Corner Health Center since 1996.

The Upham's Elder Service Plan is open to any eligible adult 55 years of age or older.
NASHVILLE - Daylong efforts to forge a compromise on how to expand Tennessee's lottery scholarship program collapsed Tuesday night, at least temporarily, forcing state lawmakers who had hoped to adjourn the 2008 legislative session back today. Also delayed until today are final passage of a $28 billion state budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1, a voluntary buyout plan to reduce the state workforce by 2,011 employees, and a $12 million long-term care plan for the elderly that adds services to help older Tennesseans live at home instead of nursing homes.
WASHINGTON, March 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The National Council of Women's Organizations (NCWO), the oldest and largest coalition of the nation's 200 major women's groups, issued the following statement: A divide and conquer strategy targeting women is being waged by Congressional supporters of President Bush's proposal to privatize Social Security. In a briefing paper distributed to Republican lawmakers for use during the Easter Recess, Representatives were advised to draw attention to the Social Security benefits earned by married women who work in the paid labor force versus married women who stay at home, including those who raise children and care for elderly parents. The document was issued by the House Republican Conference on March 18th, and was drafted by a pro-privatization fro...
