Most people cannot afford this. Unfortunately, when families cannot afford to pay for these needed medical expenses they oftentimes deplete their hard-earned assets, retirement accounts and principal residences to pay for the care that is required for someone they love.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PRWEB)
November 12, 2019

Caring for an elderly loved one suffering from a catastrophic illness or disease, such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s, heart disease, stroke or Multiple Sclerosis, can be very expensive and all-consuming. In fact, according to a study by the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, 16 percent of women caregivers and 6 percent of men take a less demanding job to care for a loved one, and 12 percent of women and 3 percent of men quit work altogether. AARP research further notes this can lead to a loss of $304,000 in wages and benefits on average over a lifetime.

“Most people cannot afford this,” said elder law attorney Dustin MacFarlane, founder of Senior Citizen Lawyer. “Unfortunately, when families cannot afford to pay for these needed medical expenses they oftentimes deplete their hard-earned assets, retirement accounts and principal residences to pay for the care that is required for someone they love.”

Keep in mind that the vast majority of seniors and older people enter their “Golden Years” without a strategy or plan to protect their hard-earned assets from having to be depleted to pay for long-term health care expenses. Furthermore, if assets are depleted to pay for long-term care or extended hospital stays, there will be nothing left in one’s estate to leave family members, loved ones and children. “This can be devastating to most seniors and their families for years to come,” added MacFarlane.

Although a small percentage of seniors and their families can afford to spend thousands of dollars a day on private nursing and long-term care, a great number of families will lose most, if not all, of their assets and savings in a matter of months paying for these expenses. “Protecting family assets and preparing for your future and the future of your children is Senior Citizen Lawyer’s top priority and what we do best,” concluded MacFarlane. “We have 10 years of unique legal experience and know how to help you and your loved ones protect assets and family legacies for generations to come.”

Dustin MacFarlane primarily focuses on elder law and protecting families and seniors. He is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys; Real Property, Trust and Estate Law Section; and Sacramento County Bar Association, Trusts and Estates Section.

The regulatory environment is definitely becoming more and more complex to navigate, and we are proud to offer solutions setting up our customers for success, thus further improving patient care.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (PRWEB)
November 12, 2019

In’Tech Medical SAS (http://www.intech-medical.com), the leader in contract manufacturing of orthopedic medical devices, today announced the creation of a Global Regulatory Affairs Department, to support Medical Device companies across its facilities.

The reality in the Medical Device industry is that the regulatory element to any Medtech organization is more important than Research & Development, Manufacturing or Sales & Marketing. For a company to contemplate a successful expansion, regulatory affairs conversations and decisions must take place at each stage of the device’s life cycle, ensuring patient safety.

This is true around the world, and Europe is leading the way right now with the new Medical Device Regulation (EU-MDR), causing major disruptions to the regulatory obligations of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), importers and distributors involved in the medical device distribution chain.

In’Tech Global Regulatory Affairs initiative is precisely designed to help OEMs solve the problem by offering regulatory support as well as a portfolio of turnkey approved products.

“In the past 20 years, In’Tech has constantly innovated in response to market conditions and customer needs,” said Laurent Pruvost, President & CEO of In’Tech Medical. “This global regulatory initiative we are launching continues in that tradition, supporting each of our facilities in USA, France & Malaysia, while focusing on providing customers with all the tools & data to support their product launch. I like to say that we are not in business to sell instruments, but to provide solutions to complicated MedTech conditions. The regulatory environment is definitely becoming more and more complex to navigate, and we are proud to offer solutions setting up our customers for success, thus further improving patient care.”

Thanks to a strong quality & regulatory background, Tania Shammo will lead the initiative as In’Tech’s new Global Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance Director. She comes to the position with over two decades of RA/QA experience both in the United States and Internationally, with organizations such as Bradshaw Medical in the US and Leader Biomedical in the Netherlands.

“Tania possesses deep regulatory expertise and has a proven track-record at managing quality assurance and regulatory affairs programs internationally,” said Xavier Leroy, In’Tech’s Chief Operating Officer. “In addition to helping the In’Tech Group build rock-solid quality and regulatory foundations, I am confident that her department will also become a key ingredient to many of our customers’ regulatory strategy as they expand.”

You may catch up with In’Tech Team later this week at COA (China Orthopedic Association) in Shanghai, China, November 14-17, booth #8-1J06, Hall 8.2 (ORTHO-Processes Pavilion).
