Build It. Protect It. Plan What Comes Next.

Join Managing Attorney Lisa Hostetler Brown and the LawyerLisa team for a complimentary live Zoom presentation created for successful business owners who want to protect what they have built and prepare for the future.

Learn how to maximize your business’s value, reduce liability, address potential tax exposure, coordinate your business with your estate plan, and prepare for an eventual sale, family transfer, retirement, disability, or unexpected exit.

Live zoom attendees will receive practical written resources to help organize, protect, and strengthen their businesses while developing a thoughtful, tax-optimized, liability-minimized, succession and estate plan.

There is no cost to attend, but advance registration by the business owner is required. Register here: https://link.lawyerlisa.com/sp/ef55792d4d2

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updated its Special Focus Facility (SFF) program and candidate list this week. Families should know what that list can — and cannot — tell them.
The SFF program identifies nursing homes with a history of serious, persistent quality problems. CMS also publishes a larger candidate list. A candidate is not yet an active Special Focus Facility, but the designation is still a reason to ask careful questions.
Before choosing care, look beyond a single rating. Review current inspection reports on Medicare Care Compare, visit more than once if possible, ask what has changed since the latest citations, utilize an Elder Care Coordinator as a boots-on-the-ground resource, speak with residents and families, and contact the long-term-care ombudsman. Because federal data can lag, confirm the most recent status.
Lisa Hostetler Brown, Founder of LawyerLisa, LLC shared that “A quality list should start a careful conversation, not end it. Families deserve current facts, clear answers, and a plan for what happens if care needs or conditions change.”
