Ombudsman Office Unable To Enter Assisted Living Facilities, Making Some Lax

An investigative reporter unveiled an expose on a chain of nursing homes in California called Country Villa which has 18 nursing homes that have been unlicensed for years.  Two of their facilities lost over a dozen of residents due to COVID-19.   The Staye of California requires that nursing home operators be licensed by the California Department of Public Health, which oversees nursing homes.  But the Department has allowed the owner to operate with a “pending license†for years.  The owner, Shlomo Rechnitz, has acquired 81 nursing homes with 9,000 beds, making him the largest operator in California.  “I’m just a little speechless when it comes to this ownership nightmare in California and now it’s gotten to this point,†said Molly Davies, the Los Angeles County long-term care ombudsman.  In Monterey, our ombudsman said that they have not had in-person access to assisted living facilities during the pandemic, a situation which is just making things worse.

Retirement May Be Easier In A Life After COVID-19 World

A jar of coins with the word retirement written on it.


Some experts are saying that figuring out what to do in retirement might actually be easier after having had to stay at home most of the time due to the coronavirus.  Working from home can provide a sense for “what retirement might look like,†said Dr. Pinchas Cohen, dean of the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California.  People are reflecting and reevaluating what important and changing plans accordingly.  George Kinder, founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning asks his clients three questions to clarify their goals : What would you do if you had all of the time and money in the world?  How would you live if you knew you had only five to ten years left?  And what would you most regret if you died tomorrow?
