If you’ve held a 9-5 job, you’ve likely heard of social security. This federal program serves as a sort-of savings account that older Americans can tap into to provide income for their retirement. While most people associate social security with retirement benefits, it also provides disability benefits and support for family members who lose a spouse or parent.
The Justice in Aging with support from The Commonwealth Fund developed this guide to assist seniors and their families to deal with the 20 most common problems experienced with nursing homes. The guide was written by Eric M. Carlson, Esq., December 2005 and updated July 2015.
