2023 - Episode 10 w/ Jennifer Wantoch & Julie McIntosh

Life happens. The reality is, no one wants to talk about hospice as it has bad taste to it, but did you know that hospice is not just end of life care, but it also helps people who need everyday care and for several other reasons. There are 2 types of hospice; Hospice is comfort care without curative intent; the patient no longer has curative options or has chosen not to pursue treatment because the side effects outweigh the benefits. Palliative care is comfort care with or without curative intent. Hospice is covered by medicare and you can stop at anytime. Paths change in life and it's never too soon to start planning to help your loved ones, should something happen. Jennifer Wantoch & Julie McIntosh join us from Compassion Care Nevada on this weeks show and show us how passionate and caring they are when it comes to their work and clients.

Earlier this week, Silicon Valley Bank made risky investments and couldn't cover their bills, ultimately getting "upside down.". This frightened many account holders as people were told that they wouldn't be receiving their deposits, but it did seem to be rectified quite quickly. It's important to know that business funds were at risk and not personal accounts. The government does oversee this, and they should be watching perhaps a little closer. The FDIC does also insure your funds up to an amount of $250,000 and this is why people who have a lot of money often spread their money around in different accounts at different banks.
