OOLTEWAH, Tenn., March 23 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Live-At-Home.com, a free Web site designed to assist seniors with aging at home, announced this week a recent expansion of its site’s resources and content. Live-At-Home places an emphasis on health care and related issues of aging in place<\/a>. Practical information is provided in an easy-to-use format and experts are available to answer individual questions. <\/p>\n

“Many people can avoid nursing home stays using the safety measures presented on Live-At-Home.com,” says Richard Brame, founder of Live-At-Home.com, LLC. “Nursing homes should be a last resort. If a nursing home stay is needed for post-surgery rehabilitation most people should be able to return to their homes after that.”<\/p>\n

Brame has more than 30 years of experience in the long-term care field and the idea for expansion came naturally when friends and families continually sought his expertise. <\/p>\n

Beyond safety issues, the Baby Boomer generation is not only making decisions for their parents, but for themselves as well. Live-At-Home.com makes it easy to quickly reference information. For example, it helps people to navigate the complexities of hospital and medical billing. <\/p>\n

One area of the Web site is devoted to insurance and explains Medicare Part A, B and D<\/a> in detail. Most people don’t know that Medicare Part B is means (income) tested. Therefore, many make the wrong decision when purchasing Part B. <\/p>\n

Other complicated or poorly understood areas that are addressed include: The Veteran’s Administration and what they can do; a Medicaid primer<\/a>; definition of Medigap; information on when to start Social Security benefits; home health resources and how to use them; and long-term care insurance information. <\/p>\n

There is also a special section on medications. This section addresses how to avoid negative drug interactions and provides resources for discounted and low-cost prescriptions. Information about the growing trend to administer intravenous medications at home is also offered. <\/p>\n

Live-At-Home.com provides advice on how to choose a skilled nursing facility. This includes a decision tree to help people determine whether it is needed or not. It reveals best policies to consider and reviews Life Care contracts.<\/p>\n

One of the resources first offered on this site six years ago still exists – a Home Safety Checklist<\/a> – to prevent injuries that often lead to hospitalization and subsequently, a stay in a nursing home. The checklist offers guidance for dealing with medications, meals, driving, preventing falls and more. <\/p>\n
