My mother and father live in Florida. I have had to put my father in a nursing home there for short term therapy after he broke his hip. I am having a difficult time trying to manage their care from out of state and we all feel its time they move back so my sister and I can help with their care. Will his medicare benefits transfer from state to state?

Medicare works regardless what state you are in. If you want to transfer him back to Decatur while he is still in the nursing home you will just need to contact the facility of your choice and they will help you work out the details.
Q: A:
What causes those brown spots in lawns when the weather starts getting hot in June-August?
Brown sports are caused by Fungus or Fungi. There are different types, but all can be stopped by an application of Limestone. Most of these fungi are trhiving because of our acidic soils. Limestone raises the soil PH and eliminate the fungi. Limestone is harmless to animals and humans.
