Hello Friends,
 I am sharing information that is helpful to caregivers. Julia Yarbough has
been a personal friend for more than 20 years. We were both caregivers for
our mothers, but Julia has decided to share the knowledge that she gained
to help support others through this journey. If you, yourself do not fall
into this category, please share with a friend.

Hello KIRC family.

Most of us would agree, that caregiving comes in many shapes, sizes,
experiences, and outcomes.

In this update a few items:

   - Upcoming events...
   - Details of a fascinating webinar *Keeping It REAL Caregiving*
   attended...
   - And we answer a reader's question: *'**Is there a way to get paid for
   caring for a family member?'*

*Protecting our pocketbooks*

It is an area that all of us should be aware of - those looking to take
advantage of elders when it comes to dollars and sense. We’re talking
finances and fraud.

AARP is offering an online course to help guide us on what to watch out for:

Calling Nursing Home Facilities

*The John A. Hartford Foundation <https://www.johnahartford.org/>* is
putting out a call from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality -
(AHRQ) <https://www.ahrq.gov/> which is seeking nursing homes to participate
<https://www.ahrq.gov/sops/surveys/nursing-home/supplemental-items/workplace-safety.html>
in a pilot study of Workplace Safety Supplemental Items for the Surveys on
Patient Safety Culture (SOPS) Nursing Home Survey.

If your facility would like more information, you can email
*WorkplaceSafety at westat.com

Such work is exactly why KIRC would like to engage with all of you. There
is no reason why we can’t all work together to pull our stories together
(locally and regionally) to get our challenges, needs, and ‘must haves’ in
front of local representatives.

In fact, in the coming weeks, KIRC will have the opportunity to share
information directly from all of you, with those within the aging industry
driving policy change in California.

My Call to Action for all of you: Please share what is the *BIGGEST*
challenge or hurdle you face as a family caregiver? Is it finding support?
Financial burden? Accessing medical care? Getting respite? Whatever it
might be, Let me hear from you - drop your comments in the discussion!

Reader Q & A

*“I’m a caretaker for my 76-year-old mom. I’m the only child in the same
city and state so all of this is on me and it has gotten overwhelming. I’m
losing hours at work due to her doctor’s visits. Please share any resources
that could assist to see if her insurance will pay me for being her
caregiver?” ~ Tennessee*

*Keeping It REAL Caregiving *recently touched on the issue of sifting
through Medicare options to understand what options and coverage you have.

**Related article on SHIP and Medicare coverage:*

*What do bed bugs and Medicare have in common? More than you might think
<https://keepingitrealcaregiving.bulletin.com/what-do-bed-bugs-and-medicare-have-in-common-more-than-you-might-think>*

The first step is to contact your State Health Insurance Assistance
Program, known as SHIP.

*Each state has an office <https://www.shiphelp.org/ship-resources>*.

*For Tennessee you can search here
<https://www.shiphelp.org/about-medicare/regional-ship-location/tennessee>*:


In Tennessee, the number to call is *1.877.801.0044*

You can also visit *http://tnmedicarehelp.com <http://tnmedicarehelp.com/>*

There is also a Medicaid program; *TennCare CHOICES in Tennessee
<https://www.tn.gov/tenncare/long-term-services-supports/choices/what-home-care-services-are-covered-in-choices.html>*
offered through the Division of TennCare.

Various services are offered ranging from in-home care personal visits,
meal service, respite, and companion care.

Keeping It REAL Caregiving Advocacy

Keeping It REAL Caregiving has signed on to a letter from Justice in Aging
urging U.S. lawmakers to take action:

*Last week, over 200 advocacy organizations wrote to tell Senate Leadership
that it’s time for them to deliver on funding to expand and strengthen
at-home care and the direct care workforce**. The House has done its part
by passing a bill last year that includes a historic $150 billion
investment in Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS). The Senate
must move quickly to not miss this opportunity. *

*You can read the full letter here
