Saving Your Family from Nursing Home Neglect

By Nick Johnson

When our oldest relatives start to pass beyond their golden years and into a time when they need extensive care, sometimes the kindest thing that we think we can do for them is to put them in a situation where they will be cared for by a staff of professional nurses at all times. In some cases, however, this well intentioned act takes a deadly turn as nursing homes neglect and sometimes outright abuse patients.

FHA Reverse Mortgages (HECMs) for Consumers

The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is FHA's reverse mortgage program which enables you to withdraw some of the equity in your home. You choose how you want to withdraw your funds, whether in a fixed monthly amount or a line of credit or a combination of both.

You can also use a HECM to purchase a primary residence if you are able to use cash on hand to pay the difference between the HECM proceeds and the sales price plus closing costs for the property you are purchasing.

Seniors are Special!

By Jane Carroo www.cluttercoach.com

I have the opportunity to meet and assist people during many transitions. One of the most interesting groups are seniors. They usually are somewhat concerned about going through all the changes that are happening either by choice or circumstances. Once they know you have their best interests at heart, they open up and share their stories and many times photos, too. What is special about these people is that they have accumulated a lifetime of experience, wisdom and possessions. Also, they love to share their knowledge.
