Medicare information
Q. Can Medicare help cover a stay at Spring Creek Health & Rehab and the Beebe Retirement Center?
A. Yes, it can. If you’ve been in the hospital three consecutive midnights and need physical, speech or occupational therapy, and in some cases additional skilled nursing, Medicare will pay 100 percent of the charges for the first 20 days if no days have already been used in a sub-acute facility — a nursing home or rehabilitation center — during your specific benefit period.

complementary care
Q. How can chiropractic treatment and acupuncture advance wellness?
A. Both chiropractic and acupuncture treatments correct imbalances in the body, which helps the body heal naturally. Chiropractic deals with the spine to correct misalignments within the nervous system. Acupuncture, on the other hand, is based on the overall flow of energy, commonly called qi, along the meridian pathways and removing blockages that interfere with the body’s internal balance. Keeping your body free of imbalances promotes overall wellness, but it is your body that does the healing.

Q. Why should everyone have a library card?
A. Because it’s free. All have the right to use their home library’s services, programs and books. The Cabot Public Library services everyone in the Lonoke County area. If you don’t live in the area, ask about our Gateway card program. These services and programs are all free to the public and center around education. We have a large children’s department where most of our programs are STEAM-based. We have a large teen department that offers tutoring and entertaining programs for teens. We also offer fun programs for adults, as well as a free coffee bar. Come to the Cabot Library, and see how much we have to offer our community.

hearing advice
Q. My family says that I turn the TV up too loud. I have noticed that when I am around a larger group of people that I have a difficult time understanding what is being said. I’m really not sure if I have a hearing problem. What should I do?
A. If you think you may be having difficulty with your hearing, the best step is to get a hearing exam- ination. Speak with your physician, or contact an audiologist to set up an appointment. The appointment will include a physical examination of the ears and a hearing test. If there is a problem with your ears that could benefit from medical treatment, your audiologist will make a referral to your primary-care physician or an ear, nose and throat specialist. If other treatments, such as hearing aids, are needed, your audiologist can provide you with information regarding these options. The important thing is for you to take that first step and make the call. Like any other aspect of your health, taking care of your hearing is an important part of your overall well-being.

facility admissions
Q. Does Medicare automatically pay for my loved one’s admission into a nursing or rehab facility?
A. A doctor may order observation services to decide whether admission to the hospital is needed. During the time the patient is being observed in the hospital, he or she is considered an outpatient — this time can’t be counted toward the three-day inpatient hospital stay needed for Medicare to cover a patient’s skilled-nursing-facility stay. If a patient leaves the facility and needs to come back for more services, and if the break in skilled care lasts more than 30 days, then a new three-day hospital stay is needed for the patient to qualify for additional skilled-nursing-facility care. The new hospital stay doesn’t need to be for the same condition that was treated during the previous stay. If a patient’s break in skilled care lasts for at least 60 days, this ends the current benefit period and renews the patient’s skilled-nursing-facility benefits. This means the maximum coverage available for these benefits would be up to 100 days.
