Discussed by Rob Sachs

Part 1 of 2

Rob Sachs encourages all who travel to Mom or Dad's, Gamma or Grandpa’s, to be on the lookout for signs that maybe they cannot take care of themselves anymore. What next? What are some of the signs that maybe the nursing home or extended care facility is NOT the one for your loved one?

Nearly 10,000 Americans are turning 65 every day now. As we live longer, will we need to consider a nursing home or extended care facility someday? Please confront this decision well in advance. Often after a medical emergency, a quick decision can be the wrong decision.

Title: Part 2 of 2
Topic: Elder Abuse

Discussed by Rob Sachs

Someday will you need to choose a nursing home or extended care facility? What should you look for? No one wants to be a victim of elder abuse, which is occurring too often in America.

If you have a loved one in a nursing home or extended care facility, what is the most important thing you can do to insure their best care? Rob Sachs suggests to visit – visit – visit and to be irregular. If you visit every Sunday around 2 pm, your loved one will always be dressed, and waiting for you. But if you visit during the week in the morning, or afternoon, or early evening, the staff will not know when you might come, and will keep an extra eye on your loved one.

Segment 2 of 2

Statistics show that more that 50 percent of America’s nursing homes and assisted living facilities are currently understaffed. Investors now use these facilities as money making machines. Cutting labor costs, expending little to properly train, and having too few staff members often leads to abuse, neglect, unnecessary falls, and other injuries. How can you protect your loved ones?
