		<description><![CDATA[ Recall that assisted living communities offer your loved one a place to live where they can receive basic assistance, while retaining a measure of their privacy and independence. This assistance could be housekeeping, meal preparation, 24-7 monitoring, shower assistance, toileting, medication assistance or reminders; transportation and help with eating, or dressing. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ For those of you who are not familiar with the PACE alternative of care, you will find this model very interesting.  PACE is one of the alternative models of care that is funded by Medicare and take a unique financial approach.  As you will learn in the interview with Shawn Bloom, president and CEO of the National PACE Association, PACE programs are financially motivated to following preventative paths of cafe – a unique occurrence in health care today. This incentive forces PACE Centers to take more of a 360-degree view of care than many care models available. Shawn’s Description of the PACE Model Programs of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) are innovative because they provide continuous care and services offering individuals eligible for nursing home care the option of continuing to live in the community. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Eighty-four percent of Americans over the age of 50 expect an immediate family member to move into a senior living community within the next 10 years, while 24 percent over the age of 65 expect the same for themselves, according to a new national survey of American attitudes on assisted living released today by the Coalition to Protect Choice in Senior Living (CPCSL). The poll found just more than half (51 percent) expect their parents to live in a senior living community within 10 years, with 15 percent expecting the same for their spouse and 10 percent for a sibling. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Everyone changes physically and mentally with age, but there are some changes that can really put a loved one&#8217;s safety at risk.  If you think that a loved one may require a transition to assisted living or elderly care, then you must first assess whether they are undergoing a true functional decline. Functional decline is sometimes difficult to diagnose as individual symptoms often go unnoticed]]></description>
