Listen in as host Steve Kuker, President of Senior Care Consulting, welcomes 2 new affiliates to the Senior Care Broadcasting Network (Ashville, NC) and reviews what to determine BEFORE beginning your search for a senior care community.

Don’t miss the Consumer Alert where Steve shares the story of 2 completely botched placements by one of the “free” referral services and warns to not fall for the “F” word… “free”. If it’s free to you, they’re getting paid thousands of dollars in a commission, some call that a kickback, which is not objective or unbiased in any way. The good news, Senior Care Consulting was able to help both families get it right, saving them tens of thousands of dollars each by offering their “placement service with integrity”. #SeniorCare #SeniorCareLive #SeniorCareConsulting #SeniorLiving #KansasCitySeniorCare #SeniorCarePlacement #SeniorCareAdvisor #Franchise #SeniorCareFranchise

Don’t miss the Consumer Alert where Steve will share some shocking, publicly available, Better Business Bureau complaints about a “free” referral service. Steve exposes the revenue model of a new flavor of “free” referral service and encourages you to ask the fair and important question: “how much money will you be paid by the facility you’re recommending, if I choose that one?” Spoiler alert: Steve was recently mistakenly offered $6,750 by a place that is willing to pay these “free” referral services up to 100% of the first month’s cost!

Listen in as host Steve Kuker, President of Senior Care Consulting, visits with Mark Squires, The Medicare Whisperer.

IF you have one of those plans, you may not be able to see your physician or go to your preferred hospital! Another large Part D Insurer announced they are no longer working in the brokerage channel. This means a Medicare broker cannot assist in an enrollment and can provide no service work throughout the year for the plan member. The Annual Election Period (AEP) is from October 15th to December 7th. This is your opportunity to make changes, if needed, to your Medicare plans for 2025.

Listen in as host Steve Kuker visits with Chris Dhooghe and James Moburg, owners of a booming company called Bath Wizard, specializing in wet-area remodeling. They discuss a new product and service called “Finish Magic” which is a lower cost option than fully replacing your existing tub or shower. It literally makes your old surfaces new again. If it can protect the space shuttle upon re-entry, it can do wonders for your tub or shower enclosure! You can also replace your old bathtub with a new easy-entry shower and remain independent in your own home for years to come, avoiding an expensive move to a senior care community. Steve directly answers the question of why someone should refer their clients to Senior Care Consulting over a “free” referral service and discusses franchise opportunities with his firm all across America! #SeniorCare #SeniorCareLive #SeniorCareConsulting #Hospice #Franchising #BathRoomRemodeling
