For some, housing bust derails path to assisted living
Posted on August 27th, 2011
WASHINGTON – When her 86-year-old mother, a retired nurse with Alzheimer’s disease, started wandering away from her Tallahassee, Fla., home in 2007, LuMarie Polivka-West knew it was time to move her mother and her 94-year-old father into an assisted-living facility.
But because of the collapse in the real estate market, she couldn’t sell her parents’ house quickly to pay for a $3,200-per-month assisted-living apartment. For another year, while waiting for the house to sell, Polivka-West and her two brothers each contributed $600 a month to help their parents afford the assisted-living unit.
“It was a significant cost to me and my brothers,” said Polivka-West, the senior director of policy at the Florida Health Care Association, a nursing home trade group.

Mentorship programs today
Coming from what so many of those in their 20s and 30s call the dinosaur age, Ive seen more so-called mentorship programs than anyone should have to. When I was first licensed, roughly a generation after the Pilocene Age ended, when one was mentored one was mentored.
Beginning at 18, I was mentored by an ever growing number of truly gifted brokers, two of which were born in the 19th century. Yeah, really.
