"The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age."
- Auden, W. H.

What to Look for When Choosing a Retirement Community

Deciding Where to Live

Deciding where to live in retirement is one of the most important decisions people will make. For those considering a move to a retirement community, there are more choices than ever before that cater to a variety of lifestyle and health care needs. These tips can help you make the best possible decision.

1. Check the background of the community: Find out when and how it was established, who owns and operates it, and who manages the company. What is the track record of management? Is it not-for-profit or for-profit? Is it accredited by an independent agency for meeting high standards for services, operations and finances? Ask for financial statements.

2. Consider future health needs: Many places offer an attractive lifestyle but do not provide health care services making another move a possibility down the line. If health care is provided, is it on-site? Be sure to find out what levels of care are provided for any community you are considering.

Big Media Is In Control

Big isn't always bad -- unless you're talking about the companies that dominate our country's media. A handful of companies control most of what we see, hear and read every day. They own our TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, cable channels, movie studios, music labels -- even our favorite Internet sites. Unchecked consolidation means that Big Media are getting even bigger, giving these firms more control over our news and information. Bottom line? Big Media are bad news -- for all of us.

Virtual Colonoscopy

Virtual colonoscopy (VC) uses x rays and computers to produce two- and three-dimensional images of the colon (large intestine) from the lowest part, the rectum, all the way to the lower end of the small intestine and display them on a screen. The procedure is used to diagnose colon and bowel disease, including polyps, diverticulosis, and cancer. VC can be performed with computed tomography (CT), sometimes called a CAT scan, or with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Find out how to apply for Medicaid

Medicaid is a medical assistance program that is partially funded by the Federal Government but run by each State. Medicaid pays for basic medical care for people and families with low incomes and resources. People who are blind or disabled, age 65 or older, children, or members of families with dependent children may be eligible. Using broad Federal guidelines, each State runs its own Medicaid program. The State decides who is eligible and the amount of medical care and services it will cover.
