Washington state is working in the House and Senate to pass a long term care benefit for those requiring assistance with at least 3 daily activities of living. Employees would pay in a percentage and be eligible after 10 years (employers do not pay in).

Being in the home modifications and aging in place business, I see the pros of this, allowing funding for some modifications or in home care, outside of Medicaid. But being a worker I see the cons as well as we are already experiencing increased taxes due to the FMLA changes.

I encourage you to read the article and weigh in your opinions!

Washington is poised to become the first state to establish a program creating a benefit to help offset long-term care

I walked into Barnes and Noble today with my left hand bandaged up and pushing a stroller with my right hand.
I was surprised that there was no automatic (accessible) door from the parking lot into the store.
When I asked why, I was told that they weren't required to have an automatic door, since the mall entrance is accessible.
Well, as an OT working in accessibility, that lights my fire!!
Those doors are heavy and there is a double set! It is a high traffic entrance to the mall and should be universally accessible, meaning everyone should have ease of use no matter their ability, disability or number of kids in the stroller. It is a relatively inexpensive and easy to install fix as well!
I called corporate to complain. You should too! It took about 3 minutes of my time.
Let's get this fixed!!
