Senior Care Live: May 2, 2026

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1792914/fan_mail/new]Listen in as host Steve Kuker, President of Senior Care Consulting, visits with David Wiley, President & CEO of Kansas City Hospice.  David addresses mainstream media stories on fraud in hospice and the impact it’s having on the industry as a whole, and while some bad actors are exploiting regulatory gaps, Kansas City Hospice works hard every day to preserve access to high-quality community based hospice care.  KC Hospice has local governance, serves local people, and exceeds 8 out of 8 national benchmarks on client outcome measures for a rolling 12 months. Clearly, what’s happening is not a failure of the hospice model of care, it’s the result of a subset of providers exploiting the healthcare system.  Then, David announces the Circle of Lights memorial event taking place on Tuesday May 19th at 8pm at Mill Creek Park on the Plaza.  For more information, visit www.KCHospice.org/COL [http://www.KCHospice.org/COL]. Then, Steve explains Medicaid, what it is, what it pays for, and how to qualify as well as the “division of assets” for married couples.  Tune in to learn about how the difference in State Medicaid rules could save the community spouse hundreds of thousands of dollars!  #SeniorCare #SeniorCareLive #SeniorCareConsulting #SeniorLiving #KansasCitySeniorCare #SeniorCarePlacement #SeniorCareAdvisor #Franchise #SeniorCareFranchise #SandwichGeneration #Hospice #PalliativeCare  (800) 331-6445 www.SeniorCareLive.com [https://www.seniorcarelive.com/] www.facebook.com/SeniorCareLive [https://www.facebook.com/SeniorCareLive] www.linkedin.com/in/stevekuker [https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevekuker] www.twitter.com/SeniorCareLive [https://www.twitter.com/SeniorCareLive] www.SeniorCareConsulting.com [https://www.SeniorCareConsulting.com]
