Everyone Wants To Sell You Dental Insurance; But A Dental Plan Is Better Dental care is the largest out-ofpocket medical expense for many retirees. To save a diseased molar

can mean a root canal ($900) and a crown ($1100); totaling $2,000. Only 30% of seniors have any type of dental coverage. But is it worth it to buy dental coverage? Probably not; instead consider a good discount Continued on page 27

50 YEARS OF CARING

50 Years of Caring It was 1970 and Ken and Sylvia Ringling embarked on a new adventure to Colorado Springs with their young sons Devin and Jeff. Sylvia was surprised and frustrated to find very few nursing jobs, and a pay rate of $1.75 for LPNs. After a few years, Sylvia answered an ad for “as needed” nurses through an agency called Medical Personnel Pool. This allowed Ken time to raise the boys while Sylvia worked nights and weekends. Because of their strong work ethic, it wasn’t long before Ken and Sylvia took over operations of the agency, which at the time provided supplemental medical staffing and private duty home care, all with just 10 field employees and Ken and Sylvia. And the rest is history. Eventually, the Ringlings bought the agency and expanded service lines to include Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance clients. Watching his parents build their agency, seeing their love of caring for others and providing jobs in the community, Devin couldn’t help but start his journey into home care by working for his parent’s agency, of course starting at the bottom as a payroll and billing clerk. Eventually Devin’s wife Cynthia too worked for the agency as a home care nurse and supervisor. It was during these

88 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

years that the company grew, adding multiple locations, service lines, and changing the name to Interim Healthcare. In 2011 and after a long succession plan, Devin and Cynthia bought the business from his parents. Interim Healthcare now provides both medical and non medical home care, Hospice, facility staffing and a CNA training school. Under Devin’s leadership, the agency now employs 82 office staff and over 200 professional and paraprofessional employees that care for over 500 people. And one of those office staff happen to be Devin and Cynthia’s oldest son Jeff, who shares in his dad’s vision for the future of Interim Healthcare and is working his way up the ranks in the office. We have been the longest family run home care agency in Colorado Springs for over 40 years, it has been a pleasure to take care of your family. We realize you have a choice when it comes to home care. We are honored you have entrusted your care to us and we look forward to continuing to provide quality care, from our family to yours, for generations to come. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Devin Ringling, CEO and can be reached at dringling@interimhealthcare.com or 719-632-9900.

Why $5 Million in Services for Older Adults in El Paso, Park, & Teller There is a little-known FederCounties is Not Enough al act, the Older Americans Act,

that was established in 1965 in response to concerns about a lack of community based social services for older persons.

The vital Older Americans Act (OAA) dollars are sent to states and communities every year to provide a wide range of services that prevent unnecessary nursing home placement, promote healthy aging and help people age with independence and dignity where they want to be, in their homes and communities. In the Pikes Peak Region’s El Paso, Park and Teller Counties, these funds are administered through the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging (AAA). The OAA helps millions of older adults each year by providing in-home supportive services that assist them to bathe, get dressed or maintain a clean and safe home. It provides transportation programs to keep older adults engaged in the community. OAA supports home-delivered meals or dining at community centers. It supports the nutritional and social needs of older adults, while evidence-based community programs help people manage their chronic conditions and prevent falls. The family caregiver support that is offered through OAA helps those who are helping older adults. At the time of this article, the OAA is being reauthorized at the Federal level. AARP has tracked the funding gap and shows that

16 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

since 2000 the aging population has increased 50% with funding increasing only 1.1% annually and sadly there was a 20% cut in funding in 2010. Many organizations and individuals have advocated to replenish funding to the 2010 level and then continue increasing funding to meet the growing need for food, caregiver support, transportation and more. By the year 2030, more than one in five people in the U.S. will be age 65 or older, yet it appears the Act will just barely pass and hold to the existing, inadequate funding levels. Older Americans make up a significant population of our country. As we all age, we want to have resources that are beneficial for us to age in place. The OAA funds distributed by the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging provides 19 services through 18 contracted partner agencies and six services through the AAA staff. In 2019, the AAA updated its State Four Year Plan. The full Plan can be accessed on the AAA website but highlights include a focus on affordable housing, mental health, social engagement, elder abuse prevention and transportation resources. As we look forward to the year ahead and how we can better meet the needs of older adults in our region, save the date for May 1, 2020 for the Older American’s Month Kickoff Event at the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging where we will celebrate and

Heart Health and Dental Health Are Closely Linked. What Do You As any dental health professional will tell you, healthy teeth and a Need to Know? healthy heart are closely related.

A number of recent studies have reinforced the concept that gum disease and tooth loss can increase the risk of developing heart disease and coronary artery disease. This doesn’t mean that good oral health will prevent heart disease, but poor oral health could actually increase the risk. How are they connected? Researchers don’t know how the heart and dental health are connected– not yet – but there are a number of theories. Most of them are centered around inflammation. Once the bacteria that cause gingivitis and periodontal disease enter the blood stream, they can travel throughout the body, causing inflammation of the blood vessels and tiny blood clots all over the body, including the vessels in the heart and brain. Heart attacks and strokes are just two of the possible results. And unfortunately, treatment with antibiotics has not proven to be effective at reducing this elevated cardiovascular risk. It’s also possible that it is not the bacteria itself, but the body’s reaction to it – the inflammation – that is the culprit, setting off a cascade of damaging effects to blood vessels, including vessels in

28 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

the brain and heart. It’s difficult to draw clear any indisputable connections between oral health and heart health because there are so many other factors involved. Some of these factors, including smoking, obesity, and lack of exercise, are well established and agreed upon. But research into “the dental connection” to heart disease is continuing, and the evidence has become far more persuasive. There are other health risks possible, too There is growing evidence that poor oral health may be connected to other conditions as well. Studies have linked periodontal disease to rheumatoid arthritis. One thing is certain: you only have one body, and its many systems are interconnected in many, many ways. Good oral health – brushing daily, regular flossing, and regular checkups – are a good idea all by themselves, and there’s no question that good oral health not only preserves your smile but adds to your overall quality of life. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Dr Fred Guerra.

Healthy Mouth Did you know that a person’s smile Healthy Body affects many areas of their lives? It affects a person’s overall feeling of wellbeing, as well as their social & business interactions. The structural health of the teeth is very important. Any breakdown of the teeth is progressive in nature. As an example, a small cavity can be treated very conservatively, however left unchecked, it can lead to an abscessed tooth requiring a root canal treatment & crown. In the meantime, the infection in the tooth has deleterious effect on the whole body. Periodontal disease is extremely harmful to person’s overall health. There are 11 pathologic, disease causing bacteria associated with periodontal (gum) disease. As the disease progresses, gum & bone tissue (the foundation for the teeth) is destroyed. Pockets develop that make it impossible to clean the teeth properly. The infection & associated inflammation contribute to many systemic diseases, including heart disease & diabetes. In addition, many of the chronic inflammatory diseases that we know of are affected. Fortunately, today we can identify the disease causing bacteria with an oral DNA test & utilize the most effective antibiotics in conjunction with laser periodontal therapy. Laser periodontal therapy is much more effective &

comfortable than previous treatments that were available. The relationship of the jaw joints to the teeth is very important. A poorly aligned bite system leads to wear & fracturing of the teeth, as well as breakdown of the gum & bone supporting tissues. In addition, the chronic inflammation of the joints leads to degenerative osteoarthritis in the joints. Chronic inflammation in the joints affects all of the organs in the body & often leads to headaches, as well as poor sleep. The alignment of the teeth is not only an esthetic concern. It not only affects the health of the teeth & gums, it is also a source of chronic inflammation affecting the entire body. FastBraces is an excellent way to align the teeth. It is healthier, faster, & more comfortable. In conclusion, oral disease affects more than just the teeth & gums. It is a source of chronic inflammation that contributes to most other diseases in the body. Be sure your dentist provides a thorough exam and interview and then discuss all health concerns with them. Better overall health could be a smile away! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Dr Donald Couchman, with Couchman Center for Complete Dentistry. He can be reached at 719-593-0263.

Consider a Discount Dental Plan Everyone wants to sell you dental for Savings insurance; but a discount plan can save you hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars each year.

When shopping for Dental Coverage make sure you are asking at least four questions. What are my annual premium costs? What are my maximum benefit pay outs? What is the waiting period before I can use those benefits? And does this plan cover specialty procedures? Traditional Dental Insurance typically have low annual limits on benefits; averaging around $1200 per year. Basic insurance plans with a $1000 maximum benefit can cost $478 per year and a slightly better

plan with a $1350 maximum benefit can cost you upwards of $664 per year. Are your exams and cleanings really “free” when you are paying those types of premiums? And on top of that you may have to wait 12 or even up to 24 months to be eligible for those benefits to be paid out. With a Discount Dental Plan the annual fees are very affordable ($107.40/yr), there are no maximum benefits, there are no waiting periods, and specialty services are covered. Also you qualify for a tax deduction on your dental care costs. Only 30% of seniors have any type of dental coverage.

Estate Planning Legal Fees Maybe even more important than the amount of your legal fees is how those fees are determined. Estate planning attorneys charge in two main ways; hourly and flat fee. Hourly billing is how attorneys have charged since the beginning of time. Hourly works great for litigation since the time required is unpredictable and hourly billing takes care of that unknown. Some attorneys use hourly billing for estate planning as well. They send you a draft and if you want changes or there are mistakes you send it back, they change it and you get a bill. They are also billing you while you are telling them about yourself, your family, your goals and your situation. While there is nothing inherently wrong with this, I just don’t believe it is the best way to get to know a client and his or her situation. When a client feels rushed because he or she is being charged $5.00 a minute (which is what $300 an hour works out to) the attorney will never get the full story and therefore the documents are unlikely to perfectly reflect the clients’ needs. Finally, we come to way that most estate planning attorneys charge: flat fee. Flat fee is when you agree

36 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

to a price before you move forward and the price doesn’t change. Since estate planning is helping you design documents that reflect your needs and wishes and there are no other parties involved, flat fee is the way to go. Of course, sometimes it takes a little longer than anticipated but other times it goes a little quick-

er too. The advantages to the client are: one; no time pressure to tell the full story and two; you know how much it is going to cost before you commit. I like it because not only can I do a better job when I know the complete story, I can tell jokes without the client looking at the clock because no one is $300 an hour funny; well at least I’m not. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ryan N.

Planning for the Unexpected We all know there are certain things we can take for granted such as death and taxes. We should also expect the unexpected. Consequently, I think it is helpful to do a simple self-assessment of what plans you have in place if the unexpected happens, as it will. For example: Do I have in place adequate powers of attorney that allow trusted persons to make decisions for me? Do I have a will or have I planned for how my property will pass to those I want to have it? If I am in a blended family have I made plans to address the issues such situations frequently bring such as how will step-children be handled. What plans do I have in place to address the reality of my family dynamics? Am I suffering from a condition that might require assisted living or longterm care? Asking these simple questions might reveal the need to do some planning or to address changed circumstances which have arisen since the original plans were made. The time to do this is now while there is

38 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

time and while you can be in control of your destiny. Don’t assume your family will make the choices you would because it is very possible they will not. What to do then? Plan for the unexpected. Consult with the necessary professionals today so that

the unexpected does not catch you unawares. The decisions you make today will affect your family tomorrow; help them to enact your wishes by giving them the tools they need to implement your plans for both life and death. The problems will not just go away. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by William H. Moller, Attorney and Counselor at Law, The Moller Law Group, LLC.

Caregiving & Compassionate You may be a spouse, a neighbor, or Conversations a sibling. If you are reading this, you may also be a Caregiver.

As someone faced with the challenges of caregiving, you might one day also be faced with tough conversations with those you are caring for. You may be noticing that a loved one is not eating well, failing to take medications or a change in how the home is kept. You may also see cognitive changes such as dementia causing concern. If there comes a time that an individual’s care will grow beyond what you yourself are capable of doing, this is the time to reach out and educate yourself on options available; from help at home with household chores, additional medical care or

possibly assisted living options. Change can be a scary proposition, and having a compassionate ear will go a long way towards ensuring your senior has the time and information to make safe and appropriate decisions about their future. Starting the conversation can be as easy as “Dad I am concerned about (fill in the blank)”. Start those conversations before a crisis strikes, you will be glad you did. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Laura Cooley, CSA, the local owner and Certified Senior Advisor for Care Patrol.

come taxes on their Social Security benefits, even though when Social Security was established back in 1935 it was always supposed to be tax free in retirement.

For some it still is tax free, and for others it is not! This usually happens when you have other income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends, capital gains, and other taxable income reported on your tax return) in addition to Social Security benefits. To determine the amount of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits that may be taxable, taxpayers must add together all other income sources mentioned above, including tax-exempt interest. Plus, half of the Social Security benefits received. If that total is $25,000 or more ($32,000 for Married Filing Jointly)

than 50% to 85% of benefits will be taxable again at ordinary tax rates. So here is an important question… How can you Avoid Double Taxation? If you’re not actually spending the money, you can usually reduce or even eliminate the taxation on Social Security Benefits. You just may not be aware of how. Think about it… Does it make sense to pay taxes on money that you are not using? More information can be found at the Senior Tax Advisory Group web site at www.SpringsTax.com ~

Considering A Hip Or Knee Replacement? The decision to undergo any Choose The Surgeon surgical procedure is one to be taken seriously, and patients That’s Right For You should take time to be well-informed when committing to a procedure and choosing a surgeon.

If you’ve been considering joint replacement surgery, seeking an experienced surgeon and asking lots of questions is a great way to get started. There is good evidence that experience of the surgeon correlates with the outcome in joint replacement surgery. If you are a candidate for hip or knee replacement, look for a surgeon who is experienced (fellowship-trained) to minimize risks and complications. The surgeon should not only be able to perform primary hip or knee replacement, but also complex revision hip or knee replacement. New techniques should only be performed by surgeons who have special training in the instruments and approach. Most important, the surgeon performing the technique should not just be a good orthopedic surgeon, but a specialist in joint replacement surgery. When evaluating providers, ask your surgeon: 1) Do you have fellowship training (a year of additional training, beyond the 5 years required

56 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

to become an orthopedic surgeon) in joint replacement surgery? 2) How many hip and/or knee replacements do you do each year? 3) If you do direct anterior hip replacement, how many have you done? 4) Do you perform revision surgery on joint replacements? 5) Do you teach other surgeons how to do hip and/or knee replacements? You can find plenty of background information online regarding the surgeons you’re considering, including their bio, board certifications, and years in practice. Caring, qualified professionals will be glad to answer these questions and provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision, so don’t hesitate! Do your research, ask questions and take an active and informed role in your orthopedic care. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jason Weisstein, MD, MPH, FACS an Orthopedic surgeon who specializes in joint replacement and reconstruction.

these two questions are commonly asked by Medicare beneficiaries when considering whether to change their health plan. Unfortunately, opportunities to look beyond costs and coverage are sometimes overlooked. There are many other factors to investigate when reviewing plans and considering change. Of most importance is quality of care. The level and quality of care associated with a health plan can play a significant role in the healthcare experience as well as overall health of the member. Find out: what are the quality ratings associated with plans being considered? What does the plan offer that would be valuable to me? Do they simply provide insurance, or do they plan an active role in helping members to obtain or maintain good health standing? Health plans are easy when healthy… what about when sick? What resources are provided to assist in that time of need? Also consider time and communication are the two most crucial elements to success in healthcare yet

not all organizations recognize this as many only promote low cost coverage or choice in marketing materials. Consider what role(s), if any, the health plan being considered play in helping the member to reduce time wasted navigating the system or ensuring proper communication is taking place. Can members only access care in person? Chat? Email? Video? Phone? Text? How hard is it (or easy) for a member to communicate when needed? How soon does one get a response? It is not easy to know which plan is best for everyone. It can be a difficult decision. However, seeking to gain a better understanding with respect to quality, time, and communication will help maximize opportunity to make a choice that is comfortable and appropriate. Do yourself a favor and dig a little deeper when looking for a plan. You will thank yourself for it later. ~

How are You Going to Meet Charlie. His brother James Pay for “That”? has Alzheimer’s and needed a memory care facility. They are very close and when it comes to James’ care, the prospect of compromising care because of James’ limited income was not an option.

Funds to pay for the care James needed was a real concern solved by getting information on programs that would assist with the costs of care. Sigh of relief…. This family will no longer have to worry about how they are going to pay for James’ Care. It is estimated that over 70% of people over 65 will need some type of Long-Term Care (LTC) according to the US Department of Health & Human Services. Colorado has many resources for financial help like Health First Colorado, and Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension that will help pay for in home care, assisted living, adult day care and nursing facility care. Most Colorado elderly who need help paying for LTC feel that they will not qualify for these programs because they have too much income or too many assets. Many families are told this by people they feel should be “in the know” on this topic. There are a lot of myths out there, online and relayed from health professionals. In reality, many could qualify if they had accurate information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a VA Accreditation or a Certified Medicaid

Planner (CMP) designation. With uncertain care costs it is valuable to have one person or firm who understands multiple programs for assistance to ensure that all options are considered for the outcome a family desires. Gaining access to programs that assist in paying for long term care costs will greatly reduce the erosion of hard-earned cash and other valuable assets like family property. Incomplete or inaccurate information often causes people to think they must “spend down” or sell things they own to avoid “losing it”. This simply is not true and can lead to an unnecessary liquidation of the assets people have worked a lifetime to obtain. There are legitimate means of preserving valuable or sentimental assets and income. Here in Colorado, to the surprise of many, following guidelines carefully afford numerous opportunities to protect income and assets. Consulting with a CMP who specializes in LTC financial solutions can help you and your family to file a successful application and qualify for the program that has the best financial outcome for your family. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Stacy Osborne, MBA CMP with Beneficent.

REHABILITATION HOSPITALS Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury or other medical conditions. They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation hospitals were created to provide services less costly on a per diem basis than general hospitals but provide a high level of professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapies. Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/or Speech), and interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day.

5 Questions For Your Doctor: If you or a loved one have concerns Are Memory Issues about memory loss or other unexA Concern? plained changes in behavior, getting an expert opinion from your family doctor is an important first step in understanding how to proceed. Medicare offers a free annual wellness visit for those 65 and older where patients can request a brain health assessment. But if you don’t see your family physician frequently, he or she may not know you well enough to determine if you are experiencing cognitive changes. To help, the Alzheimer’s Association has developed a list of five questions that individuals or family members can ask the doctor to help ensure that the visit is productive and patients get proper direction.

Do I (or the patient) have any medical conditions that could increase my risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia?

Am I taking any medications that could be causing memory or cognitive-related symptoms?

What tests could you perform that might rule out Alzheimer’s or dementia as a diagnosis?

Are you aware of my family history – particularly among immediate family (grandparents, parents or siblings) related to

82 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

Alzheimer’s or dementia?

Should I be concerned about … (explain any changes in memory, focus, thinking or mood)? “This is a good starting point for having a productive conversation with your family doctor,” said Danelle Hubbard, director of Health Systems and Family Services for the Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. “I would suggest bringing these questions in writing along with any other specific concerns or examples you may have. There can be a number of reasons behind memory loss and personality change, so it’s important to get guidance from your doctor as early as possible.” For individuals who have immediate questions, the Alzheimer’s Association has a free, 24/7 Helpline staffed by trained professionals who can provide guidance and support: 800-272-3900. Information also is available on the Association’s website: www.alz.org/co. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jim Herlihy, Senior Marketing & Communications Director, Alzheimer’s Association, 720-699-9286 or jherlihy@alz.org.

Hi, I’m Kathy Miller, founder of Gentle Shepherd Home Care. My husband and I founded the company as a result of having to find care for my 97-year-old Grandmother “MeeMaw”. She needed a great deal of care and assistance to remain in her own home. Adding to the difficulty MeeMaw lived in Dallas, miles away from us in Colorado. Flying to Dallas to take care of MeeMaw just became impossible. Thus the daunting task of finding qualified caregivers began, and Gentle Shepherd was born. I know how important the care of your MeeMaw is. I meet all our clients personally, recruit only the best caregivers and ensure everyone is treated the way MeeMaw deserved. Call me today.

RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a long-term care 118 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility. GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

SeniorsBlueBook.com

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs. It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team. 24/7 ADMISSIONS – If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice,24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays. AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Many provide Grief Groups

that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting. INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency. PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their

care. Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria. PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare. VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

Should I Move? How do you know if a move to senior retirement living is right for you? Sometimes I find myself sitting at my desk trying to make a decision and I’m stuck! Three things have helped me…

Gather more information: Retirement and care communities LOVE to show off through tours, lunches, and your participation in events. Yes, it is okay to ask questions of the residents you meet. Find the activity calendar and see if you can observe something listed for “right now”. Let your trusted senior advisor accompany you so you don’t feel pressured or overwhelmed with details. Your advisor can also screen your options, so you don’t get frustrated considering communities that don’t fit your needs.

Talk to somebody: Sometimes just saying out loud what you are thinking, or questioning, or feeling, can help to sort out what is important to you. A family member or friend can be a good listener. Your senior living advisor can also listen, answer questions, and clear up misconceptions. Or give ideas regarding homecare, a realtor, home modifications, and other solutions. It may 134 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2019-2020

feel like everybody has a different opinion on what’s right for you, so it helps to get impartial feedback from an independent source.

Can I try it?: You don’t sign a one-year lease. Most communities and care settings simply require a 30-day notice if you aren’t happy. Of course, use all your tools to make the best senior living decision, but don’t feel like you are trapped if your first decision doesn’t provide the quiet enjoyment, care, and community you deserve. Also, consider Assisted Living respite care for a 2-4 week stay for a trial run, or as coverage for a vacation or event. I encourage you to START with a senior care advisor, but even if you are already into your decision process, let her/him hear your plan. It is likely there are options and considerations they can add to your search. I am glad you found this Senior Blue Book, and I am hopeful that you will soon find the care, safety, and home that you will love! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jim Ver Meer, Owner and Advisor of Senior Living Decisions.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

This makes a lot of sense when you consider that all your savings essentially breaks down to an annual income you need to have to live comfortably during your retirement years. One of the options many seniors explore when trying to secure their retirement income is a fixed index annuity. Three Facts About Fixed Index Annuities A fixed index annuity isn’t the right product for every retiree, but it can make a difference to some. Three facts to keep in mind when exploring the benefits of these annuities with a qualified financial professional include:

They are not suitable for shortterm savings goals. Fixed index annuities can expose you to surrender charges and tax consequences if you withdraw them too early.

Fixed index annuities can be a good choice for risk-averse savers. With little to no risk of principal loss, a guaranteed interest rate and the option of a guaranteed lifetime income — fixed index annuities can offer savers a low-risk product. But for risk takers, they may not be

satisfying. Those with a higher risk tolerance may want to limit just a small portion of their portfolio to the guarantees offered by the annuity.

Fixed annuities offer both immediate and deferred options. If you don’t need access to your money or annuity income immediately, then you can choose a deferred annuity allowing your balance longer to grow.

GUARANTEED INCOME IN YOUR RETIREMENT

Guaranteed Income in One of the biggest concerns of Your Retirement pre-retirees and retirees is income.

Overall, annuities can protect retirees from longevity risk and establish a floor of income – safe from investment risk. They also offer you a guarantee against losses should the performance of the index falter. It also ensures the gains you made are locked in, so you can’t lose them. If you’re in or near retirement, be sure to talk to your financial professional about your retirement goals and how fixed index annuities may be an option to guarantee income during your golden years. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Darian Andreson of Senior Tax Advisory Group and may be reached at (719) 596-4844 or by email at Info@ SpringsTax.com.

The mission of the Colorado Springs Dementia Friendly Community Initiative is to create a local community where people living with dementia are supported to enjoy a high quality of life with meaning, purpose, and value.

Keep an eye out for the Dementia Friendly Colorado Springs Report and Action Plan, coming early 2020!

The AARP Age Friendly cycle is a five-year timeframe, and Innovations in Aging Collaborative is nearing the end of those first five years of implementation, with a plan to release a final report in December of 2020. Make sure you look for that report on our website in late 2020!
