Planning for Medicare hospital care amid aging and turnover
Linn County aging advocates urge early preparation for hospital and post discharge needs. Social services at St Luke's Mercy aid patients from admission through discharge planning, including home care, custodial care, and placement at four Cedar Rapids facilities when Medicare coverage ends. The plan involves the Social Security office and local councils on aging to clarify benefits and prevent last minute confusion.
