Assisted Living Residents Evicted When New Owner Drops Medicaid, Medicare to Cover New Osteoporosis Test, Baby Boomer Divorces 7-21-26
In our July 21, 2026 News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging Club podcast episode, Benjamin Surmi talked about the challenges faced by assisted living residents when facilities drop Medicaid when an acquisition happens. The gap between Medicaid coverage and costs borne by the facility is a factor, forcing skilled nursing facilities (Nursing Homes) to be the choice when a move must be made.
Ellen Khalifa presented the new Medicare-covered BCT test for bone health, which evaluates bone quality and fracture risk.
Elizabeth Magallon Fleury addressed the financial and inheritance complications arising from baby boomer divorces, noting that women are disproportionately affected.
