In the health care community, we highlight falls prevention during the month of September. During falls prevention awareness week, we encourage industry professionals, community leaders, family members, and friends to become acclimated with falls health and how to prevent an injury for our loved ones. At Preferred Therapy Solutions we recognize the need to bring awareness to falls in the post COVID era. Everyone is trying to move forward and close the door on these past two and half years of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftereffects. In the skilled care community, not only has the COVID-19 pandemic left its horrific thumbprint everywhere, but we are also now witnessing another consequence of COVID-19 and its new potential risk for falls and balance issues with elderly population and among senior communities.

Senior living providers are tasked with meeting budget targets and generating greater value from their resources, even as labor and supply challenges increase. Sodexo Seniors’ integrated facilities management program can help senior communities achieve these goals, while consolidating services and costs to create a well-established partnership.

The International Facility Management Association predicts there will be 50,000 to 100,000 facility management positions open over the next five to 10 years, which makes having an experienced partner even more critical. A partner like Sodexo Seniors can help you deliver elevated resident, employee, and guest satisfaction—plus greater cost efficiencies that set you apart from your competition and open new doors of possibility.

It seems like everyday there’s a new “Medicaid Consultant” advertising in the local paper, on-line or soliciting at nursing homes. But here’s the problem with these agencies: they’re not attorneys. We all know that the Medicaid Program, especially Institutional a/k/a “nursing home” Medicaid, is governed by an exceedingly complex set of statutes, regulations and codes (i.e., the law). When a layperson accepts compensation to research the law and then interprets that law and provides advice, that layperson has now committed a Class E Felony in the State of New York. By way of example, when a Medicaid Consultant accepts payment and then advises a client as to the exempt Medicaid transfers they can avail themselves of or how to meet the elements of an undue hardship waiver, they have already crossed the line into the unauthorized practice of law.
