Care Conversations with Crystal – The Home Healthcare Huddle

12/28/2020

If you or a loved one need long-term care for a chronic illness or, as you age, if you need assistance with the tasks of daily living, you may be interested in home healthcare services. Home healthcare services run the gamut: from medical care provided by nurses or physical therapists to household support such as dressing and bathing.

As an attorney certified in elder law planning, I am often asked by clients if they should buy long-term care insurance. The answer is more complicated than you might think. Before getting to the answer, it’s important to identify a myth about long-term care insurance.

The Key to Being an Energetic, Healthy and Unstoppable Leader in 2021 and Beyond

12/17/2020

By Lifestyle Coach, John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM". Creator of the Performance Lifestyle®
I am a lifestyle entrepreneur and performance coach; you can find my articles in Around the Chamber. Upon talking with me, you might expect me to talk about eating and exercise, probably sleep, how you’re thinking, and more among several other aspects of your lifestyle. And if so, you would be, in part, correct. But that level of granularity is not where the conversation starts. It starts with a conversation about achieving your goals, not necessarily "how-to," but rather, "how-you," get into the things and follow through on what you want to accomplish, complete, and realize in your life.

Medicare 101: Supplement and Advantage Plans

12/2/2020

by Staff, Porzio Bromberg & Newman, P.C.
Medicare Supplement Plans or Medigap Insurance are designed to cover care not covered by Medicare Parts A and B like co-pays and deductibles, vision care, hearing aids, fitness programs and other benefits. When you have a Medicare Supplement Plan or Medigap Insurance, Medicare Parts A and B are your primary insurance and the Supplement Plan pays some or all of the expenses that Parts A and B do not pay. What kind of Supplement Plans are available?

Any Property Tax Relief From COVID-19 Impact?

12/1/2020

by Richard De Angelis & Thomas Olson of McKirdy, Riskin, Olson & DellaPelle, P.C.
As 2020 draws to a close (and not a moment too soon) we are all hopeful for a better 2021. Regardless of whether the spread of Covid-19 is slowed, or the civil unrest in our cities calms, the economic pain of 2020 will likely linger through next year. No industries have experienced this pain more, in terms of immediacy and impact, than retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and personal service establishments. And while elected officials debate programs to try to lessen the sting, one area rarely discussed is property tax relief.

Medicare 101: What Medicare Does Not Cover

12/1/2020

by Staff, Porzio Bromberg & Newman, P.C.
Medicare coverage is complicated and, as we saw in my blog post Medicare 101: What Medicare is and Who is Eligible, it is composed of several parts. As you consider what parts of Medicare to enroll in, you should be aware of what Medicare covers and what it doesn’t cover. That way, you can plan carefully and be sure you are getting the health insurance and services that you need.

Four Health Conditions Caused by Poor Oral Health

12/1/2020

by Dr. Alan Rauchberg, Rauchberg Dental Group
The health of your mouth and body are intertwined and can impact each other more than many people realize. That's not to say that a small oral health problem that you get treated can manifest illness in another part of your body. When left untreated it can impact our body's ability to fight off illness. Not only can routine preventative care keep you from needing invasive dental treatment but it can also preserve your oral health, in turn, your physical well-being.

Holi"day" not a Holi"month"

11/24/2020

by Lois Manzella-Marchitto, Fitness Knocking
Happy Holidays, chamber friends! It’s getting to be that time of year again. We are heading into the holiday season. This season is filled with food, family, and friends. However, “The most wonderful time of the year” is not the most wonderful time for your diet and maintaining your weight. Therefore, to stay healthy we have to make sure that we do not completely let ourselves go and remember “a Holiday is not a Holi-month”.

Medicare 101: What Medicare is and Who is Eligible

11/17/2020

by Staff, Porzio Bromberg & Newman, P.C.
It’s often assumed that the benefits from Medicare just happen. People get older, they sign up, and benefits begin to flow. For most of us that’s not true. Maximizing Medicare health benefits in retirement requires education and careful planning. To plan adequately, I counsel clients to begin thinking about Medicare well before they need it and to understand some key principles.

Are Dental Implants the Standard of Care?

11/5/2020

by Dr. Alan Rauchberg, Rauchberg Dental Group
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants? Missing teeth can cause a host of oral health problems, from bone deterioration to TMJ issues. One of the most obvious issues is esthetics. Gaps in your smile may cause you to hold back from smiling when your meeting new people or when you take a picture. Dental implants can restore your smile’s appearance and give you the confidence you need to thrive in any social situation.

Professionals who have demonstrated strong technical expertise in their chosen field often find themselves thrust into leadership roles.

Setting Your Sights On a New Beginning

10/15/2020

By John Allen Mollenhauer, JAM
Some years ago, I read one of the most pivotal books of my life, and one of the top 50 books of all time called “Transitions” by William Bridges. I was going through a tough time that somewhat paralleled the challenges of 2020 and was having a particularly rough time with changing and establishing a new momentum. I think that experience is relevant, meaningful, and actionable for us now.

Six Big Myths about Virtual Selling

10/15/2020

By Cal Thomas, Sandler Training
Virtual selling is nothing new. It has been around for years. What’s happening now is that more and more sales teams are getting good at it! The old distinction between “field sales” and “inside sales” is an increasingly irrelevant one. Today, the most effective and productive sales teams see themselves as remote sales professionals. This is also sometimes known as virtual selling...but whatever you call it, it’s a central requirement of success in most markets.

Does Your Grantor Trust Still Make Sense?

10/12/2020

by Porzio Bromberg & Newman, P.C.
What is a Grantor Trust? A “Grantor Trust” is a trust where the person who created the trust (the grantor) continues to pay the income taxes on the trust’s income even though the grantor does not receive any benefit from the trust. A “Non-Grantor Trust” is a separate taxpayer from the grantor and responsible for its own income taxes.

Coming Home

10/4/2020

Wendy Long’s first day as director of member relations at the Morris County Chamber of Commerce was the day Gov. Phil Murphy ordered all non-essential businesses to shut in response to the COVID-19 virus, including the chamber. Welcome to your new job, Wendy. Fortunately for her – and for the chamber members who have since been seeing a lot of her – Long has enjoyed a long relationship with the chamber and was able to hit the ground running even during a pandemic.

Stories That Define Success

10/4/2020

When Tina Cervasio visited Morris County recently to speak at a business luncheon, she was unsure of what to say. The lead sports anchor and reporter for Good Day New York on WNYW-Fox 5 and host of the weekly show “Sports Extra” felt a bit ill-suited to address a business audience. So she told stories – and those stories defined success. Cervasio served as the keynote speaker at a luncheon of the Women in Business Program of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce, held at the Westin Governor Morris in Morristown.

Fulfilling Their Mission During Coronavirus

10/4/2020

Prior to COVID-19 hitting New Jersey, Nourish NJ of Morristown each week served nearly 1,500 free onsite breakfasts and lunches and gave away approximately 12,500 pounds of take-home food. While the virus shut down many facets of life in New Jersey, hunger was not one of them. Nourish NJ had to scramble to continue fulfilling its mission of feeding the hungry and providing ancillary services, such as mental health, housing and employment services.

Cleaning Up COVID-19

10/4/2020

It’s a dirty job – thank goodness they do it. Though perhaps not the most glamorous work, every day Morris County remediation, disaster recovery and commercial cleaning firms perform vital functions for residents and businesses, and their work became even more essential with the COVID-19 pandemic. While continuing to provide mold inspection and removal, fire and water damage recovery and commercial cleaning services, these firms also ramped up their virus disinfectant efforts in response to the coronavirus.
