Medicare Open Enrollment is just around the corner. And that means the flood of Medicare health and drug plan marketing. Medicare has marketing rules on what plans can and cannot do. If you see any of these red flags, contact MMAP, Michigan's SMP at 800-803-7174.

Please re-Tweet to raise awareness: When you are #caregiving for a loved one, making #selfcare a priority can feel impossible. For your own #wellbeing and that of the person you love, it is a practical necessity and a key to endurance. #Alzheimers #dementia #mentalhealth #quote

Though health care is essential to health, research shows that health outcomes are driven by multiple factors, including underlying genetics, health behaviors, social and environmental factors, and access to health care behaviors are the primary drivers of health outcomes.

A special THANK YOU to all social workers. A single social worker can influence an entire life and generations of them have shaped all of us. Honor social workers and let them know you’re proud of the vital work that they do!

"Don't you remember...?" Words we say easily, but for the #dementia patient they're distressing & cause a flush of embarrassment because they DON'T remember. #Caregivers must change their approach & allow the dementia patient the #safety of NOT being pressured to "remember."
