DID YOU KNOW….? (and we’ll start by saying, a lot of people do not know this, so please spread the good word!)

Did you know: that Medicare does NOT cover long-term care? It’s true. And it’s confusing, because Medicare does cover some SHORT stays in nursing homes.

And here’s another important FYI: most long-term care is NOT considered medical care. It’s just living life as an older adult. So what do you need in this instance? Long-term care insurance.

Big thanks to for having BJ Miller and Bridget Sumser on to talk about end of life, hospice and palliative care.

The more we can clarify and explain what these types of care are, and are not, the better equipped others will be to utilize them at the right time. We hope this conversation helps anyone navigating a serous illness or end-of-life to understand their options.

NEW DATE AND TIME! Now on July 18 at 11am PT-A dicsussion on Autonomy.

Autonomy is often framed as independence, self-reliance, and control—but what does it mean when you’re living with a chronic illness or navigating a period of vulnerability? This webinar explores autonomy not as isolation or self-sufficiency, but as a deeply human, relational experience shaped by interdependence, trust, and community.

“Quality of life is subjective and cannot be measured solely by biomedical standards but also by the meaning each person finds in their existence, even in the face of serious illness.”

So much juicy human stuff in this article, we’d love to hear your thoughts on any of it: Autonomy! Compassion! Quality of life! Language! Humanity!

We’re guessing a few of you out there have navigated caring for someone where falls were a factor and something you had to watch out for.

Please share your wisdom! Is there anything you’ve found that helps with falls? (Device palliativecareof intervention?) Or did you have to create a new relationship with living with this possibility?

You’re feedback will most likely help someone else who is new to care.

Next Friday! A discussion on the last days of life, what to expect from a body close to dying, as well was what to expect as someone sitting vigil. What does death look like in different settings: home, hospital, facility, and how can family and caregivers create space for themselves and their person within each location.

Excited to let you know that we are now offering the Mettle Method in three separate modules that anyone (maybe you?) can attend as works best with your schedule.

Module 1: Orienting to the Person
Module 2: Building Mutual Relationships
Module 3: Caring for Yourself

There’s no right or wrong way to take the modules; you can start with #3, and then head to #1, or stick with just #2. We hope this new format makes it easier to engage with the material.
