A new report says insurance companies are turning down a large share of claims in Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and Affordable Care Act plans. For older adults, that can mean delays or denials for care they were counting on. It adds to worries raised at a town hall in Oregon, where people shared painful stories about their own health coverage.

Money and ownership are also in the news. A big real estate company plans to buy eight senior living communities in an $873 million deal, and several operators are expanding memory care and assisted living. Nursing home pay is shifting too, with the staff who track resident care earning some of the year's largest raises.

There were hard stories and warm ones. A care center director admitted taking money from a deaf tenant, and a memory care fire was ruled intentional. But two memory care residents also charmed the internet with a simple dance.
