IS IT TIME FOR YOUR LOVED ONE TO CONSIDER
Assisted Living?
It’s not always easy to tell when your parent or another loved one needs more help. The following warning signs may indicate that it’s time for a talk about assisted living:
OUR COVER SPONSOR!
• T he refrigerator is empty or filled with spoiled food or your
loved one is losing weight. These may be signs that they aren’t eating well because shopping or cooking is difficult.
• You notice frequent bruises, although your loved one may try to cover them up. This may be a sign of falling, or mobility and balance problems.
Scan Here for Mobile Coupons
• Your loved one wears the same clothes over and over again
or neglects their personal hygiene. This can indicate that doing laundry and bathing is physically challenging.
• The house and yard isn’t as clean and tidy as it used to be. • Your loved one forgets things, such as doctor’s appointments or when to take their medication. This may be due to memory loss.
• Your loved one seems depressed. Depression is common in seniors who are isolated and alone.
• You notice strange or inappropriate behavior. For example, your loved one may dress inappropriately for the weather. This can be a sign that they are experiencing confusion.
These are difficult situations to face. And it’s hard to know when the time is right, what options are available. The good news is that our community is invested in our seniors and has answers for any situation you might be facing with your loved one!

Umbrella Policies:
COMMUNITY CONNECTION - GREATER KALAMAZOO
CARPET CLEANING
What Are They, What Do They Cover and Who May Need One
What is an umbrella policy?
A personal umbrella policy (also called executive umbrella) is an insurance policy with high liability limits designed to protect your personal assets from bodily injury and property damage lawsuits beyond the liability limits of your other insurance policies, like your home or car insurance. Essentially, umbrella insurance extends coverage above the limits of your other policies. So, if somebody brings a liability claim against you and the costs associated with the situation exceed your existing insurance policy’s limits (like your homeowners or auto policies), then your umbrella policy can come in and make up the difference. In some cases, if coverage is excluded on other policies, the umbrella policy may “drop down” to cover the loss. For example, if you’re driving in Europe and are involved in an accident. Most personal auto policies will not extend coverage to Europe and you would be left with a hefty bill from the accident. However, an umbrella policy will most likely provide coverage for that situation. An Auto-Owners Umbrella Insurance policy provides coverage anywhere in the world.

•If you’re sued for injuries caused to another person in an auto accident •Property rented to you, used by you, or in your care •Coverage beyond your underlying policy limits, in addition to protection above your existing policy limits •Protection when a guest is injured on your premises, including alcohol-related incidents, slip and falls, and other accidents •Coverage that follows you wherever you may be faced with a liability claim •Legal costs are covered, even outside the policy limit Most personal umbrella policies are available with coverage limits of up to $5 million (higher limits may be available).
Who needs an umbrella policy?
Short answer: Anyone who wants to protect their assets can benefit from an umbrella policy. An umbrella policy is a great way to preserve current assets as well as future earnings so you can maintain your livelihood and lifestyle in the event you have a loss and are sued. Here’s just a short list of reasons you may consider an umbrella policy: • You own a home • You own a recreational vehicle • You have significant assets • You have children • You own a swimming pool • You own a snowmobile • You travel
You are driving your boat and one of your passengers is standing on the front of the boat while it is moving. Unfortunately, they fall in the water and sustain injuries as a result. They sue you for an amount above the limits of your watercraft liability policy. An umbrella policy can help cover that amount beyond your watercraft liability policy.

Your friend is on your roof trimming trees and falls off. Unfortunately, they are severely injured. The friend sues to cover their sustained injuries and lost wages as a result of this accident. Your homeowners policy doesn’t have limits high enough to cover all the expenses. This is where your umbrella policy will kick in and help cover the remaining costs. Your son is driving an ATV with two friends riding on the back. They go down a dirt trail too fast, hit a stump and crash. The friends were severely injured and sue you for limits above your recreational vehicle liability limit.

You get involved in an online forum discussion. Somebody finds a comment you made to be slanderous and sues you. Your umbrella policy may cover those legal costs.
Submitted by Nancy H.
In some cases, there may even be coverage for an accidental death if you’re held liable. Much like its namesake, umbrella insurance is an extension of protection to keep you safe (and not drowning in legal fees or other expenses)! The best way to get started in finding an umbrella insurance policy that fits your needs and budget is to talk to your local, independent insurance agent.
