Senior Care Live: March 5, 2022

Listen in as host Steve Kuker, President of Senior Care Consulting, is feeling a little salty regarding some issues he has seen in the marketplace recently and informs you how to avoid them.  Advocate for your loved one in the hospital; Steve shares stories of some recent experiences from his clients.  Be protective of your long term care insurance policy; IF you have a LTCi policy that has a lifetime benefit, some insurance companies seem to want you to convert that incredibly valuable policy to a much less valuable “new and improved” policy.  Don’t miss the Consumer Alert where Steve shares publicly available Better Business Bureau complaints about a “free” referral service.  Steve informs the audience of a new flavor of “free” referral service but at the end of the day, their revenue model is the same.  Then, learn about Senior Care Consulting, an alternative to these services, offering a placement service with integrity.  #SeniorCare #SeniorCareLive #SeniorCareConsulting #CCRC #SeniorLiving #KansasCitySeniorCare #SeniorCarePlacement #LongTermCare #AssistedLiving #SeniorCareAdvisor #SeniorCareConsultant #SeniorLiving #MemoryCare #AlzheimersCare #DementiaCare #ContinuingCareRetirementCommunity #Franchise #FranchiseOpportunity
