WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Heinz Family Philanthropies is adding a new series to its Facts About project entitled “10 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER… About Long-term Care.”
The Facts About series of informative fact sheets is distributed via index-sized laminated cards. These cards are distributed to decision makers in the public and private sectors and the public at large. “10 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER ..,” will be first available as online fact sheets and within the next 30 days in the normal Facts About format as 3 x 5 laminated index cards.
“10 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER…” poses a series of questions for older adults and their families to consider when deciding about long-term care. They provide brief answers, ideas for further consideration, and links to resources that can help families dealing with these difficult issues.
The five new fact sheets in the series are:
· Questions to examine long-term care options beyond nursing home care.
· Questions to look at the financial aspects of long-term care.
· Questions to provide a logical process for selecting a new home that best matches a consumer’s needs and lifestyle, or those of a loved one.
· Questions to examine what is important and preferred by a consumer or loved one when living into great old age or with a disability.
· Questions to address options on how to handle situations when care is not what the consumer wants.
