Yoto is a game-changer for screen-free play – but is the 4th gen worth the upgrade?

Shopping | ES Best Home | Kids Encouraging screen-free entertainment, the Yoto is a gadget thoroughly deserving of its place in family homes. The audio player’s concept is simple: children pop a card in to listen to stories, music and more. With more than 1,000 titles to choose from, there’s content to suit everyone from babies to older children. As a mother of a three-year-old boy, I’ve seen first-hand Yoto’s appeal to both parents and children alike. Launched as a London-based Kickstarter project in 2017, Yoto has helped make screen-free listening part of families’ everyday lives – and now frequently tops Christmas gift guides. I already have both the full-size Yoto Player and Yoto Mini 3rd Gen. They’ve become firm favourites in our house – and now, with both 4th Gen models in hand, I'm keen to see whether the latest models are worth the upgrades. Enlisting the help of my…

She Moves Into One of 34 Memory-Care Beds at a $123.5 Million Senior Community. Medicare Won’t Pay for Her Long-Term Stay

A family picks a memory-care room for their mother, watches Medicare cover her hospital bills for years, and then gets blindsided the moment she moves into assisted living. The gap between what they assumed and what they owe reshapes every… Denver-based Janus Living (NYSE:JAN) bought Harmony at Greensboro, a North Carolina senior-living community, for $123.5 million in a deal reported on October 6, 2026. The community has 34 memory-care beds. Medicare won’t pay the long-term room, board and custodial-care charges for residents in those beds. Her Medicare card still works at Harmony. Doctor visits, hospital care, covered prescriptions and Part B therapy continue as before, subject to the 2026 Part B premium of $202.90 a month and the $283 annual deductible.
