it's about 6.6% for each year that the age goes up, so it's 13.5% roughly by raising the age for twors. by 2050 retirees younger than 90 will have been affected by this retirement age. that keeps benefit costs under the current system much lower than they otherwise would have been. the second major change that began in 1983 and is phasing in very, very gradually is subjecting part of social security benefits to income taxes. that was done in 1983 with the revenues going back to the social security trust fund to help finance benefits. so in that sense it's also a financing mechanism but it's a reduction in net take home benefits for beneficiaries. in 1993 congress took another step and had put -- subjected a bit more of benefits to income taxes and allocated that to the hospital insurance program. so that is about 8% to 9% of social security outlays that are coming back to social security and medicare meaning a net reduction in benefits. it does affect the higher income beneficiaries because it follows income tax rules. and the last long-term change is quite small, but it's part of th

the first was to raise the retirement age from 65 to 67.that's happening now but it's happening very slowly. and as i think most people realize that is a quick length to the across-the-board cut to the retirees about 6.6% each year the age goes up so 13.5% roughly by raising the age for two years. by 2050, retirees younger than 90 will have been affected by this retirement age. that keeps benefit costs lower than they otherwise would have been. the second change is subjecting part of the changes to income taxes that was done in 1983 with revenues went back to the social security trust fund to finance benefits. so it's also refinancing mechanism but it's a reduction in the take-home benefits for beneficiaries. in 1993 congress took another step in subjective that it's more benefits to income taxes and allocated to the hospital insurance program so that's about eight to 9%. social security outlays that are coming back to social security and medicare meaning a net reduction. it does affect the beneficiaries because it follows income tax rules

those consumers served by both clf, and the dsip deversion and we noticed that they tend to be middle aged and male. and that is notable, because often the people think about seniors, and when we are talking about taking people out of skilled nursing facilities, but this population does tend to be younger. which means that they have a lot more time ahead of them that we can help them live more fully, in the community. part of this project was looking at this clf purchase, services. and what i found was that services both in terms of the total dollars spent and the number of purchases tended to be clustered around the discharge and they were primarily related to setting up a home. for these individuals, who are leaving laguna honda and had not lived in the community for a long time and so a lot of the purchases were things like putting in a stair lift. or, putting down a rental subsidy. and or excuse me, a rental deposit. and i think that something that we are pleased to see is that based on my attempt to do a cost calculation that was more comprehensive and i looked at the costs as well as

any of us who are over age 30 have a little bit of age-associated memory loss. that accumulates a little bit as we get older. we are concerned when the memory loss is significant enough to cause a change in date-to-day function. we look for the cause of that most of those forms of memory loss are caused by alzheimer's. there are a number of other neurologic diseases that can cause memory loss. there are some medical diagnosis that can cause memory loss. for example, low vitamin b-12 levels, low thyroid. we check all our patients for those. they can also cause memory loss. >> the stages of alzheimer's affects people differently. there are certain things that progress. what do you see happening? >> so an initial stage is mild cognitive impairment. this is a stage where the patient notices some memory loss or more often the family notices the memory loss more so than the patient. the day-to-day function is still fairly intact. we call that mild cognitive impairment. in many cases, unfortunately, that can be an early stage of alzheimer's. over the next few years the
