A Shift from Nursing Homes to Managed Care at Home
Faced with soaring health care costs and shrinking Medicare and Medicaid financing, nursing home operators are closing some facilities and embracing an emerging model of care that allows many elderly patients to remain in their homes and still receive the medicai and social Services available in institutions.
In the newer model, a team of doctors, social workers,
physical and occupational therapists and other specialists provide
managed care for individual patients at home, at adult day-care
centers and in visits to specialists. Studies suggest that it can
be less expensive than traditional nursing homes while providing
better medicai outcomes.
The number of such programs has expanded rapidly, growing
from 42 programs in 22 States in 2007 to 84 in 29 States today. In
New York City, a program run by a division of Center Light Health
System, formerly known as the Be th Abraham Family of Health
Services, has over 2,500 participants at 12 sites in the
metropolitan area.
"It used to be that if you needed some kind of long-term
care, the only way you could get that Service was in a nursing
home, with 24-hour nursing care," said Jason A. Helgerson, the
Medicaid director for New York State. "That meant we were
institutionalizing Service for people, many of whom didn't need
24-hour nursing care. If a person can get a Service like home
health care or Meais on Wheels, they can stay in an apartment and
thrive in that environment, and it's a lower cost to taxpayers."

INSTRUCTIONS: Read the following text carefully and then choose the correct answer.
Leonardo da Vinci
Known as the greatest artist in the history of mankind, Leonardo da Vinci was also a great philosopher and scientist. Leonardo is the most influential figure in the Italian Renaissance and he is considered to be an inventive multi-genius.
Leonardo was born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy, as the child of Piero da Vinci, a notary, and Caterina, a country girl. He stayed with his father's family and they moved to Florence when he was just 12. At the age of 14, Leonardo started out his artist's apprenticeship at the studio of Andrea del Verrocchio (1435-1488), an Italian sculptor, goldsmith and painter.
The art of painting made Leonardo knowledgeable about anatomy and perspective. In addition to painting, Verrocchio's studio also offered technical and mechanical arts and sculpture. Leonardo had developed an interest in architecture so he went on to study engineering.
After a decade of highly original work as an artist, Leonardo wrote to several wealthy men to help finance his projects. The Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza (1452-1508), accepted his offer as Leonardo told him that he could design war weapons like guns and mines, and also structures like collapsible bridges. He lived in Milan with the Duke from 1482 to 1508, reportedly creating very innovational war machines. He also did painting and sculpture, as well as urban planning for large-scale water projects. There, he also wrote about making a telescope to view the moon.
