Long-Term Care Insurance Available to UW Employees

Long-Term Care Insurance covers services that are typically not covered by health insurance, but are vital for a patient, such as assistance with activities of daily living (walking, eating, bathing, etc.). This type of insurance provides financial protection from the rising costs of long-term care. Coverage for care in non-institutional settings such as assisted living, adult day care, and in-home care is also available.

Review Long-Term Care Insurance for plan eligibility and enrollment information.

Each year, the Long-Term Care Insurance plan, authorized by the Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF), may distribute one advertisement piece to employees. This year, ETF is distributing a Long-Term Care Insurance Update prepared by HealthChoice, the plan vendor.

Simple Salmon with Dill Sauce

Ingredientssalmon with dill sauce

  • 1 salmon fillet (about 2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • Coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
  • Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cucumber
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill

 

 

Directions

 

Preheat oven to 450°F. Rinse salmon fillet and place skin-side down on a flat baking pan. Pour soy sauce over salmon and sprinkle with pepper. Roast salmon using the 10-minute rule–approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness at the thickest point. If you want to brown the top, brush lightly with olive oil and sear the salmon before roasting, or run briefly under broiler. Cook until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature of 145°F).

 

Serve salmon hot or cold with dill sauce made by combining 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream, 1/2 cup finely chopped cucumber that has been lightly salted and drained, and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill (or more to taste).

Today’s Dash – Get your greens for bone health.

Every day, your body breaks down old bone cells and builds new ones. It’s a complex process requiring lots of vitamins and minerals. This includes calcium and vitamin D, as well as vitamin K. Research suggests this nutrient doesn’t make your bones thicker or denser, but might still prevent fractures. Scientists think it may work to help support bone structure in some other way.

Experts say specific recommendations for vitamin K depend on age, gender, and other factors, such as pregnancy. In most cases, eating foods rich in vitamin K is enough to boost levels. These include:

Green, leafy vegetables, such as spinach

Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflowercouliflower and cabbage

Green peas

Soybeans

Olives

Cereals
