Last week it was also part of our weekly news post, but it’s worth highlighting for the people who have not read the article yet. The Washington Post published an article in which it announced that Medicare introduced a new Web portal specifically designed for caregivers.

From the Washington Post article:

The new site ( http://www.medicare.gov/caregivers), says Kerry Weems, acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, aims to answer basic questions that Medicare staffers have been fielding by phone.

The site points users to basic information with labels such as “Medicare Basics” and “Is It Covered?” And in mid-December, the site will launch a ratings feature for thousands of nursing homes in the United States.
