Frequently Asked About Senior Care

What does Medicare actually cover — and what doesn't it?
Original Medicare covers hospital (Part A) and doctor visits (Part B). It does NOT cover long-term nursing-home care, most dental, vision, hearing aids, or routine in-home help. Medicaid or Medicare Advantage may fill some gaps.
How do I get someone moved into assisted living?
Tour at least three places, ask for the most recent state inspection report, and check the state ombudsman's complaint history. Never sign a contract on the first visit.
What's the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Palliative is comfort care alongside treatment — at any stage. Hospice is comfort-only, when a doctor expects six months or less. Both are usually fully covered by Medicare.
How do I know if a senior is being scammed?
Sudden cash withdrawals, new 'friends' calling daily, unopened mail, or a new POA they can't explain. Call Adult Protective Services — it's confidential and free to report.
