Harik posted:nah you can get it appraised at whatever value you want. worst case if you still think it's too high have some black friends be there to greet the appraiser, that's an easy 30% off the value. what

Pretty sure they're referring to a study from a while back that showed homes owned by african american couples were appraised at a lower value across the board. It was a while ago so dont remember the details. I think they even did the same house with both a white couple and black and it still got appraised lower when the black couple was there.

We had a royal commission into aged care here in Australia and the reports that were released were horrifying. Like maggots infesting people's open wounds, people wallowing in their own poo poo, being forcibly restrained, being fed garbage. Of course the whole point of an RC is to do a big song and dance about something without actually doing anything, so the reforms that followed have not addressed most of the (huge, systemic) problems identified by the RC. The industry is functioning correctly, which is to say it's very good at bleeding you and your loved ones dry

Covid was the best thing to ever happen to the for-profit care industry in the u.s.: They got extra government money for housing covid patients; they had in-person inspections & family-member visits suspended by the (mainly northern, mainly democratic) governors; and they got to write the sections of the governors' executive orders that covered their sector, like banning in-person inspections & family-member visits. Reminder that 80 percent of Minnesota's & 60 percent of Pennsylvania's initial months of covid deaths were among residents of longterm care.

euphronius posted:dealing with a hospice firm last year tho I was impressed by them. go hospice ! The NYT had a story last year (I think) about the realities of home hospice & p. much made the case that dying at home is not gentle & loving experience that the movies make it out to be, which any family member who's gone through it will testify. The hospice centers are generally good (my mom died in one) but the rent-seeking in that sector has shaped the industry for the worse, as it has with LTC. Endgame: How the Visionary Hospice Movement Became a For-Profit Hustle quote:It might be counterintuitive to run an enterprise that is wholly dependent on clients who aren’t long for this world, but companies in the hospice business can expect some of the biggest returns for the least amount of effort of any sector in American health care. Medicare pays providers a set rate per patient per day, regardless of how much help they deliver. Since most hospice care takes place at home and nurses aren’t required to visit more than twice a month, it’s not difficult to keep overhead low and to outsource the bulk of the labor to unpaid family members — assuming that willing family members are at hand.

Horseshoe theory posted:"America's Heartthrob" turned "History's Greatest Monster", Andrew Cuomo, was definitely up there in the murdering old folks business. Yeah but he hosed up the reporting so bad there's no way of knowing the actual extent. And back then he was not only lauded as the Wise Expert in Handling Covid but was also leading the National Governors Association at the time. Remember the pic of the NJ care home of sheet-covered corpses stuck in a room? Phil Murphy, gov. of NJ since 2018, is the current head of the NGA. I tracked the nursing-home stats & stories during 2020 and it still makes me want to puke to think of some of the stuff I read (and still have bookmarked).

skooma512 posted:I just don't know a way around it. I know it's coming, but what the hell can people do when they are barely getting by on the expenses now, let alone a new rent payment that's triple even major metro rent. De-lurking to post a PSA for goons with parents who are getting older. Medicare is absolutely not going to pay for most people’s long-term care needs. If they have the luxury of time they should absolutely consult an elder law attorney and make a plan for the best way to fund it. For us it’s looking like protecting some assets + the house now and planning to qualify for Medicaid later. *I am not a lawyer but we just met with one this afternoon. Also I watched a fuckton of YouTube videos and now I know words like “countable assets” and “clawbacks.”

Paradoxish posted:You need to pay anyway. My grandmother lived with my mom essentially until her death (the last 5-6 months were unavoidably spent in various rehab/nursing facilities) and there was no way to avoid having in-house care for 50-60 hours per week because she couldn't be alone, the alternative would have been a nursing home. Dealing with someone who had dementia also meant getting basically no sleep, which had some really horrific impacts on my mom's health and overall quality of life. the whole protestant americana mindset of "keep everyone alive as long as possible, no ifs-buts is what jesus wanted" leads to some really loving grotesque poo poo (i.e. terry schiavo)

it's flipping the script on the well-known phenomenon of appraisers turbo-making GBS threads on black families. if you're black and you want to get anything close to the real value of your home pack up all your pictures and have a white friend pretend it's their home for the appraisal. People are seeing 25-35% differences on the same home just by swapping out the family pictures, lol.

why do they always frame it as "if X replaces Y", and then do their analysis based on that like it's never a light switch 100% to 0%. it's incremental, and punctuated as the tech improves. not to say it can't be disruptive, but all or nothing analysis is so dumb. anyway gpt is cool and helps me do python, regex and sql that would be a pain in the rear end for me, an idiot, otherwise.
