Moisturize to Protect Aging Skin As we age, our skin goes through a number of changes that make proper care more important than ever. The epidermis, or top layer of skin, begins to thin, causing skin to become more transparent. Skin also becomes drier due to the natural loss of oil glands, which help keep skin soft. Ultimately, skin can become more brittle, irritated and susceptible to damage from moisture and bacteria. The good news is that advanced skin care products can help manage and reverse these negative effects of aging while maintaining and protecting the body’s natural moisture levels. Professional Medical's exclusive Embrace™ Skin Repair Cream was

designed to provide maximum hydration while still being light enough for everyday use. It contains aloe vera and vitamins A and D to nourish and rejuvenate the skin as well as dimethicone, which forms an invisible barrier against moisture and helps skin maintain its ideal moisture balance. When applying moisturizer to a resident at your facility, pour or squeeze a small amount into your hands and rub your hands together to warm the product. Apply the moisturizer to the body as needed. Typical application includes the shoulders, back, arms, hands, legs, feet and, if acceptable to the resident, the buttocks. Be careful not to rub reddened areas or bony prominences. Embrace Skin Repair Cream is part of Professional Medical's complete Embrace skin care line. To learn more, give us a call at (800) 648-5190 or visit us online at www.promedsupply.com!

Medicare Antifraud Efforts Seeing Results The $340 million in that Congress has pledged to spend on Medicare fraud prevention over the next 10 years should keep law enforcement busy and significantly crack down on fraud, according to experts. According to CMS, the number of defendants facing healthcare fraud charges has jumped sharply in the past year. Taxpayers Against Fraud, a group that helps providers sue fraudulent individuals, also feels that the Obama administration's strategy for fighting fraud is more systematic than previous administrations. On the other hand, several long-term care provider groups have asserted that Medicare fraud patrols unfairly target skilled nursing facility payments for therapy and rehabilitation.
