Mid County reverse mortgage specialist Zebulon Lowe at Open Mortgage will help us understand this financial tool for Golden Triangle senior citizens.

SETX Seniors: At what age do Port Arthur seniors qualify for a reverse mortgage?

Open Mortgage: Open Mortgage can assist seniors across Southeast Texas who are 62 years of age and over with reverse mortgage programs.

SETX Seniors: For our seniors who are not quite sure what a reverse mortgage is, how would you explain the program?

Open Mortgage: A reverse mortgage is a special financial tool for Southeast Texas senior citizens that allows them to use the equity in their house for special needs that arise. They can even use a reverse mortgage to supplement their retirement income- a big help to many Southeast Texas seniors currently. For detailed information, give us a call and we can answer all of your SETX reverse mortgage questions personally.

SETX Seniors: What are some of the main financial advantages reverse mortgages offer our Mid County seniors?

Open Mortgage: There are a number of advantages that have been popular with our clients across The Golden Triangle. Here are some of the ones our Mid County seniors really seem to appreciate:

• Are you tired of making mortgage payments? With your SETX reverse mortgage, you do not have to make mortgage payments any more (see ad below for more information and parameters).
• Do you feel it is a hassle to access your home equity through your bank? That’s one of the key features of reverse mortgages- letting you access your equity without the hassle.
• All Southeast Texas senior citizens have different financial needs. At Open Mortgage, we can help Golden Triangle seniors with a reverse mortgage that either provides them a lump sum of cash (great if you need a major purchase like a new vehicle), structured monthly payments (ideal for supplementing your SETX retirement income), or you can choose a line of credit – perfect for home remodeling projects.
• The number one feature Southeast Texans appreciate with reverse mortgages is that they DO NOT AFFECT MEDICARE.

Would you like more information about reverse mortgages in the Port Arthur – Mid County area and across Southeast Texas?

“How Hospice Care Saves Money for Medicare”

On Today’s Southeast Texas Hospice News we examine the ways hospice saves Medicare dollars.

Many Southeast Texas seniors have questions about hospice care in the Golden Triangle.

Harbor Hospice is committed to helping Golden Triangle seniors get comprehensive news and information about Southeast Texas hospice care.

Today we look at how hospice care saves Medicare dollars – and provides quality of life for Southeast Texas seniors.

Health Affairs found that hospice enrollment saves money for Medicare and improves care quality for Medicare beneficiaries with a number of different lengths of services.

The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization applauds this study that adds to a growing body of research demonstrating the value of hospice care both in terms of high quality and cost savings.

Led by Amy S. Kelley, MD, MSHS, from the Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai, researchers looked at the most common hospice enrollment periods: 1 to 7 days, 8 to 14 days, 15 to 30 days, and 53 to 105 days. Within all enrollment periods studied, hospice patients had significantly lower rates of hospital and intensive care use, hospital readmissions, and in-hospital death when compared to the matched non-hospice patients.

The study reveals that savings to Medicare are present for both cancer patients and non-cancer patients. Moreover, these savings appear to grow as the period of hospice enrollment lengthens with the observed study period of one to 105 days.

There is a lot of news about how Southeast Texas hospice care improves quality of life and eases a stressful transition for the patient and their family.

Study authors suggest that investment in the Medicare Hospice Benefit translates into savings overall for the Medicare system. “If 1,000 additional beneficiaries enrolled in hospice 15 to 30 days prior to death, Medicare could save more than $6.4 million,” they note.

Furthermore, the authors write, “In addition, reductions in the use of hospital services at the end of life both contribute to these savings and potentially improve quality of care and patients’ quality of life.”

“We know that hospice care addresses so many critical issues involving quality of care at the end of life and that hospice brings dignity and compassion when they are needed most. This new study reaffirms other reasons why hospice is the best solution for caring for the dying in a way that provides patient-centered care and is cost effective for the Medicare system,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.

For  information on Hospice and Palliative Care Services in Southeast Texas, talk with your physician.

We hope today’s Southeast Texas Hospice News segment has been helpful for you.
