‘Gargantuan effort’ to test all Florida nursing homes for COVID-19 slowed by logistical, communication challenges – Naples Daily News

May 29, 2020
Ryan Mills and Melanie Payne Naples Daily News Published 2:36 PM EDT May 29, 2020 The rollout of a state plan to send coronavirus tests to many of Florida’s nursing homes and assisted living facilities has been marred by logistical and communication challenges, delaying long-desired testing at elder care centers statewide, according to industry leaders.  Many facilities that were supposed to have already received testing supplies are still waiting for them. And the leaders of some of the facilities at the top of the state’s shipping list weren’t aware they were supposed to be getting the tests. For others, they arrived with little warning on Friday of Memorial Day weekend, said Kristen Knapp, spokeswoman for the Florida Health Care Association.…

How Covid-19 Will Shape the Future of Senior Living. New Models of Care, More Aging in Place. – Barron’s

May 29, 2020
Carolyn Seaton had been looking for a way to stretch the savings of her nonagenarian parents and still get them the full-time care they needed. When the school nurse found a condo opening in a long-term care facility near her home outside Philadelphia in early March, she felt fortunate and put down a $1,000 deposit. Then the facility told her she could lose the room to an emergency admission, so Seaton agreed to pay $200 a day to reserve the spot until her parents could move in. She says the facility made no mention of Covid-19 quarantines or other coronavirus-related restrictions, though the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services by that point had issued warnings. As the outbreak spread and deaths mounted, Seaton and her family decided a move was untenable and tried to cancel their reservation.…

What you need to know about the new June 1 tax-filing deadline – Financial Post

May 29, 2020
Monday, June 1 is the “official” extended deadline for Canadians to file their 2019 personal tax returns, unless you or your spouse (or common-law partner) is self-employed, in which case you both have until June 15, 2020 to file. You’ll recall that the normal filing deadline, as well as the deadline to pay amounts owed, is April 30, but it was extended back in March as part of the initial COVID-19 relief measures. Last week, the Canada Revenue Agency provided some additional relief when it announced that penalties, including the late-filing penalty (five per cent of your balance owing, plus one per cent of the balance owing for each full month your return is late, to a maximum of 12 months), and arrears interest will not be charged as long as your T1 personal tax return is filed by Sept.…
