wanna rock?

ust when did the rocking chair become the symbol of growing old? Why is there still an image in our society that growing old means slowing down? We are
certainly not recommending that an electric guitar is an appropriate image; however, it might be for some! We feel that it is a mistake to categorize or stereotype in any way – we encourage and embrace the uniqueness of every individual. As you page through the SourceBook, you will find dozens of examples of individuals who are breaking the ‘rocking chair’ stigma of growing old. You will find as you read the cover, feature and
‘real-life’ stories that all the lifestyles are highly individualized. Take, for instance, Barbara Williams’s story on p. 28. As a female pilot, Barbara has impressive achievements under her belt and, like many of her peers, has ensured herself a fun and secure future by taking advantage of the different housing options available today. Knowing that a supportive environment with specific levels of care is right outside her door,
When DEMENTIA set in, you vowed TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
Arden Courts lets you
keep that promise.
Providing the distinctive care for dementia requires special skills and experience. Which is precisely what you’ll find at Arden Courts residential assisted living. Your loved one will enjoy a dignified lifestyle and as much independence as possible at Arden Courts. Our highly trained staff, structured activities and building layout are all dedicated solely to meeting the unique needs of Alzheimer’s residents. So keep your promise. Make the right coice. Look into the exceptional comforts and quality of life at Arden Courts, today. To arrange for your personal consultation with one of our dementia specialists, call the location nearest you.

she can devote her time to what she enjoys most – dinner with friends or taking advantage of her community’s array of recreational offerings. We feel that her story is a better ‘symbol’ of aging - highly individualized to her needs and style. However, the rocking chair does offer an appropriate image in that she also has tremendous balance in her life. Making the important decision to move has given her peace of mind while allowing her to maintain her favorite activities. We hope that you find Barbara’s story and the many others featured in this issue inspirational when charting your own course. You will find a count-
less supply of products, services and resources to help you and your family create a lifestyle that is customized to your specific needs. Your lifestyle might have a little bit of rocking chair and a little bit of rock and roll. No matter your situation, we are confident the SourceBook will serve as your guide when incorporating a little ‘rock’ into your life.

Flying High Barbara Williams sets sky-high goals and reaches them!
C
By Steve Gurney and Lauren Searson
hildren are always asked what they want to be when they grow up, but at the age of 7, Barbara Williams had in fact discovered her true life passion. It was during a parade in her hometown of Detroit, Mich., where everyone was celebrating Charles Lindbergh’s first trip across the Atlantic. “My family was there watching and I told my father, ‘I want to be the first woman to do that,’” she said. Although Amelia Earhart ultimately paved the way for female pilots as the first woman to cross the Atlantic, Barbara never strayed from accomplishing her lifetime goals. Today, she happily shares her stories and memorabilia with the friends she has made at Paul Spring Retirement Community located in Alexandria, Va. After spending her early childhood in Detroit, Barbara primarily grew up in Chicago, Ill. and eventually attended college in Minnesota. It was there she met Jim, her future husband. The road to getting married was not an easy one for the two. Jim had been drafted the summer before the war and
was only supposed to be gone a year, but his plans were halted by the attack on Pearl Harbor. Barbara was also still in school, but when Jim had gone to Officer Candidate School and could afford to be married, she talked to her professors on how to finish her credits. It was during his first leave as an officer when the two finally wed. Meanwhile Barbara had been taking flying courses through college before the war. Having earned her wings, she tried to pursue her dream after the war, but was not accepted because she was a married woman. “I’ve never outgrown the dislike for that,” she said. As a result, she started to rent planes, despite the expenses, until the couple had their three children. While she took them out flying on occasion, the family moved a great deal across the country through Jim’s job and eventually ended up living in Washington, D.C. Following his retirement, the couple decided to travel to different parts of the world. “We went in the Peace Corps for two years and were in the Philippines which was wonderful,” said Barbara. “We worked for the Farmer’s Core and learned the Ilocano language.”
Inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s first flight across the Atlantic, Barbara earned her wings and enjoyed flying as often as possible. Today, her apartment is adorned with articles and photographs detailing her adventures.

With their home at the time located in Lynchburg, Va., the couple knew they wanted to make a transition and live near one of their sons in the D.C. Metro area. In 2003, they researched different senior housing options, and knew Paul Spring was the best place for them to settle for their future years. “It was small and private and that is what we wanted,” said Barbara. The Williams immediately found a sense of camaraderie at the community, especially Jim, despite his declining health. “He would go downstairs to dinner and he would just sit in the chair and people would talk to him,” said Barbara. “Everyone liked him, it was amazing.” The couple had spent over two years at Paul Spring before Jim passed away. “People here were very kind,” she said. “I couldn’t tell you how many people would meet me in the hall and just give me a hug.” In addition to the support system she found at the community, she has taken advantage of the numerous activities and amenities Paul Spring has to offer. From Wii bowling and yoga to weekly movie nights and socials, there is always something going on for Barbara and her peers. Among her favorite activities, however, is Bingo. “It’s fun because anyone can pick it up in a hurry and you get to know people,” she said. Aside from the many friends she has made while participating in activities and socializing at dinner, Barbara said it is also the staff that highly contributes to the community’s welcoming and caring atmosphere. “The help here is wonderful and the staff just makes it a warm environment,” she said. This help ranges in a variety of services such as housekeeping, laundry, transportation, daily meal plans, emergency call systems and professional management and maintenance services. Those in assisted living receive personal care services from assistance with activities of daily living to being escorted to and from meals and inhouse activities. Although Paul Spring offers residential and assisted living, individuals also have the unique option of customizing their daily care, including nursing assistance, based on their particular needs. With the peace of mind knowing healthcare and an accommodating staff are available, Barbara, who is also the secretary of the Resident Council, continues to enjoy the luxuries of her home that is conveniently located to the offerings of Old Town Alexandria. No matter where the day takes her, however, she loves coming back to her apartment which is adorned with documents detailing her flying days as one of ‘Macalester’s Ladybirds.’ Especially important to her are the newspaper clippings Jim had framed for her one Christmas. “He was one of the first I took up in the air when we were still in college. He
always accepted it,” she said. Today, she can happily say that she has found a similar sense of support and a feeling of family at Paul Spring, a place she has proudly recommended to other friends considering a transition in their lives. “The people here are just friendly,” she said. “You smile, and they smile back.” SourceBook publisher, Steve Gurney conducted the interview with Barbara Williams in her apartment at Paul Spring. Steve has very close ties to Paul Spring and its residents. The community was the first stop on his journey to better understand the transition that the readers of the publication he founded make. At age 43, Steve lived as a resident and documented his insights and thoughts at www. everyoneisaging.com. He says, “Although I had visited over 500 senior communities in my 20-year career when I moved to Paul Spring, I realized how much I had missed by not trying to experience these settings through the eyes of the residence. These communities are the best neighborhoods I have ever lived in, where neighbors truly care about and care for each other.”
Wanting to experience the transition to senior housing firsthand, Steve Gurney chose Paul Spring for his first move and, like Barbara, discovered a deep bond among its residents.

A First-Hand Perspective A renowned senior housing expert and his wife make the move themselves
G
ardner Van Scoyoc certainly knows a thing or two about retirement communities having operated and developed many throughout his 40-year career. Therefore, the decision he made with his wife, Nancy, to move to Westminster at Lake Ridge, a continuing care community in Virginia, was clearly well researched. Gardner and Nancy met during their first weekend at college and later married in 1954. “By that time I knew I wanted to go to the Virginia Seminary and become an Episcopal Priest,” he said. While working for the Diocese in Richmond, he was involved with its plans to develop a retirement community and appointed to serve as the first executive director. After helping develop more communities throughout the state, he left to start a consulting practice, assisting in projects nationwide and establishing himself as a leading authority in senior housing development. As Nancy supported Gardner, she raised their four boys which “was a full time job” she said with a laugh. Once they were all in school, Nancy went back to college to receive degrees in psychology and counseling. As the family moved, her career path included opening two women’s resource centers, doing church-based work, writing a book, and finally for several years directing a wilderness adventure program for inner-city youth. Eventually the couple grew tired of maintaining their Alexandria home that sat on one acre of land. Despite moving to a townhouse, they still longed for a better sense of community. Nancy said, “I had painted this idyllic picture; I love the natural world and I said I definitely don’t want to go and live in an apartment building.” Since Gardner was familiar with the communities that offered such a natural setting, they visited their friends at Westminster at Lake Ridge, and were extremely impressed. “I told the marketing department if we could have a cottage right on the pond, and add a sunroom, we might be interested,” said Nancy. Within two months, a cottage became available and they immediately began planning their move to Westminster, adding the sunroom and a mosaic stone patio created by their son. Now fully settled in, the Van Scoyocs could not be happier. “This is the only place I know of in the metropolitan area that has cottages, ponds and woods. It’s a beautiful landscape and still has easy accessibility to a number of shopping centers,” said Gardner. “Of all the retirement facilities I’ve developed, I can stack this one up against any of them as being one of the
After a 40-year career of developing and operating retirement communities, Gardner Van Scoyoc and his wife Nancy did their research and ultimately chose to spend their future at Westminster at Lake Ridge.
nicer facilities, and it’s not out of reach financially.” The connections they have made at Westminster are very important to the couple too. “We have people we feel very close to here, but it’s also the staff. The staff makes us feel like we are all part of a family,” said Nancy. Additionally, the couple is enjoying their change in lifestyle. “Less of my time is spent with cooking and cleaning; I can do the things I love to do,” said Nancy. “I can walk in the woods, I can indulge in gardening. There are also so many interesting programs and musical events offered at Westminster.” After a long career helping others make this transition, Gardner offered words of wisdom from his own perspective. “You don’t want to wait so long that you have the choice imposed on you. That’s the key to having control of your own future.”

Strong Ties
A supportive son, friend and caregiving team make a life-changing transition much easier
“M
om never looks back. She always looks forward,” said Larry Conley when referring to his mother, Mildred Joyce Conley, also known as ‘MJ.’ He continued, “She has said many times that life is enjoyed depending upon one’s attitude.” It is clear that her positive attitude, loving son and a network of friendships has enabled her to continue enjoying a purposeful life. With a longtime legacy in Rockville, Md., MJ lived in the same home for nearly 55 years and is now happily residing less than five miles away at The Village at Rockville, A National Lutheran Community with its own reputable history of providing continuing care. In 1948, she married John Conley who was in the OSS during the war and one of the “first 400” when the CIA was formed. Meanwhile, MJ worked in the Pentagon and held status in the Main Navy for many years. A photo of her with other Navy Waves has actually appeared in a PBS program titled “Breaking the Code.” After leaving military service, she received a call from Larry’s school asking if she would consider helping as a secretary. Since the school was walking distance to their house and would allow her school vacation days off, she decided to try it, and for the next 18 years, she enjoyed establishing a vast network of friends and connections. Following her husband’s passing, MJ continued to live in the family home. Larry helped modify her home and arranged an account with a local cab company while long-time neighbor and friend Margaret Hoppman offered MJ rides and accompanied her to appointments. When MJ had a fall that landed her in the hospital, it precipitated the need to look at other options. “In one day you go from being completely independent to needing more assistance,” said Larry. Since he lives in Alexandria, Va., Larry wanted to find a community close to him, but MJ wanted to remain close to her ties in Rockville. Larry and Margaret began researching and visiting a handful of options in Montgomery County. “We looked at three or four different places, but The Village at Rockville was close to her home and it had a very friendly feeling,” said Margaret. In addition to its welcoming environment, the fact that The Village at Rockville would offer his mother access to various amenities and activities greatly appealed to Larry, along with the range of healthcare services, from residential living to skilled nursing, that is provided by an attentive staff. Once the decision was made, Larry and Margaret worked together to prepare MJ’s home for sale. “It’s not an easy task when you have been living in a home for 55 years,” said Margaret. For-
MJ has had a loving support network thanks to her son, Larry Conley, and friend, Margaret Hoppman, who both helped find her current home, The Village at Rockville.
tunately, they sold the house and sorted MJ’s possessions, using some items to decorate her new place to make her feel truly at home. According to Larry, who is an architect, the staff was especially accommodating as he collaborated with them to design and furnish MJ’s room to reflect her personal preferences. Nowadays, he and his mother get together every weekend for dinner at her favorite restaurants. “They have a table for her at Clyde’s,” Margaret said with a laugh. In addition to visits and talking on the phone with friends, MJ also enjoys learning how to use her new iPad. Thanks to the physical and occupational therapy program at The Village at Rockville, MJ is continuing to increase her independence. Since she has been highly involved in the National Association of Retired Federal Employees (NARFE), MJ was also thrilled to learn that the local chapter meetings were held right on The Village at Rockville’s campus. MJ is a great example of how support from family and friends can create a valuable support system. With her loved ones, and the care and security she has found at The Village at Rockville, she continues ‘looking forward’ and views each day as an extra bonus.

HOW TO
prepare to move
roll up your sleeves, or let a professional help The organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs.
Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision as to where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of. Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various re-
sponsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, take a general tip from freelancers and independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two! Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret having given away too much too soon, or to have important things lost in the shuffle. Some excerpts from this article used from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).

he process of downsizing and selling the family home is often overwhelming, even for those with a background in the moving industry. A real estate broker for 25 years, Carol Fine, and her husband, Richard, wanted to make a quick move from their five-bedroom house three years ago, and with the help of Downsize, Etc., they were able to do just that. Married for 53 years, the Fines have two children. While Richard enjoys playing golf and swimming, Carol can often be seen sewing or settling down with her latest read. It was when she was diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s that they decided it was time to make the transition and ended up selling their home within a few weeks. “We couldn’t do it ourselves. It was just so overwhelming to stand there and figure out what to take or sell,” she said. Fortunately, she was introduced to Nancy Malphrus and Bart Goldstein of Downsize,
Richard and Carol Fine, who enjoy traveling, golfing and reading, found the help they needed when faced with the difficult task of moving three years ago.
Etc., a company that specializes in real estate, liquidation and design. “Nancy came over and knew what we needed to do,” said Carol. “I was extremely impressed with her presentation and guidelines for downsizing.” The couple then visited their future two-

bedroom apartment with Bart, who drew up a diagram, factoring in the particular furniture they wanted to take. “They recommended a moving company that was terrific,” said Carol. “It was also a very controlled environment as they limited the number of people who could go through the house.” Not only were their valuables properly cared for and secure, but the Fines’ home was left spotless. According to Carol, Bart and Nancy made all of the arrangements for selling or donating the remainder of the couple’s belongings while Bart helped decorate their apartment. Since their move, the Fines have continually stayed in touch with the organization and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone they know considering a move. “Being in real estate for so many years I know how much is involved and you just can’t make a move like that on your own,” said Carol. “The process for us was absolutely seamless – it was a dream.”

creating a visual record when making a move Insurance companies recommend keeping an inventory with photos of household goods. Make a page for each room in the house, with numbered columns, listing the item (“bureau”), a description (“4-drawer oak chest, 30 inches long”), its history (“wedding gift”), and additional comments (“For my granddaughter Isabel”). If you want your family to decide which pieces interest them, leave the last column blank.
Number the photographs to correspond with the list. With a digital camera, you can create an electronic record that can be sent via e-mail. This will help sort and assign belongings as each family member can mark those items they would like. Excerpt used from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).

HOW TO
obtain legal advice
elder law attorneys cater to your legal needs
S
ince living decisions are becoming increasingly complex, many people find themselves searching for someone who can cater to their specific legal needs. Making sure that you have the right professional for the job at hand is the first and one of the most important tasks that you have in getting any job done the right way. When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney make take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence. What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the sometimes difficult decisions involved in one’s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients
it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there non-legal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? In order to pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you need to know all of your own issues. If you aren’t familiar with your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else. Know your own financial limitations and the financial benefits of engaging the services of a specific attorney. In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably don’t need an expensive package. Be a smart consumer.
Elder law attorneys lend their expertise on estate planning, pensions, long-term care planning, age discrimination and wills.
Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there are attorneys that will occasionally take on pro-bono cases, or will work on a contingency fee. Local law schools are good places to check for assistance as many students will help low-income or disabled individuals to practice their skills.
to other professional and/or non-legal resources that are available to help meet their needs. Do I Need an Elder Law attorney? Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is

managing your estate An executor is the person or corporate fiduciary (trust company) that is appointed under your will to manage your estate after you die. The executor will offer your will to the court for probate; marshal your assets; file an inventory of your assets with the court; pay all debts, expenses of administration, and taxes; and sell any property that must be sold to put the estate in a position to be closed. The executor will petition the court to make an order to distribute your estate. During the probate of your estate, the
executor has the duty to account for the financial transactions of the estate and to keep the court and the beneficiaries informed as to the progress of the estate administration. After the court issues the order for distribution, the executor will distribute your estate pursuant to the terms of the order that incorporates the asset disposition provisions of your will. A will does not have to nominate an executor to be valid. However, nomination in your will of the executor permits you to select the executor and to deter-
mine whether the executor should be bonded or not. Carefully select your executor. A good executor will make the difference between an estate that is handled efficiently and expeditiously versus an estate that will get mired in eventual litigation and losses. Excerpt from The Weekend Estate Planning Kit: The Fast and Simple Way to Maximize Assets, Minimize Taxes and Protect Loved Ones by Douglas E. Godbe, Attorney at Law.

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela. org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask more
than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue? n How long has the attorney been practicing?
What percentage of the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice is devoted to this area of law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n

HOW TO
discuss billing methods
understanding the fees and expenses involved Attorneys may bill weekly, monthly or upon completion of work. Discuss how your attorney charges and how often he/she bills at your initial meeting. It is very important that you understand and feel comfortable in this area. Some attorneys charge by the hour with different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. If this is the case, find out what the rates are. Other attorneys charge a flat fee for all or part of the services, which is not unusual if you are having documents prepared. Your attorney might use Some attorneys charge by the hour with different hourly rates for work performed by a combination of these methods. In addition to fees, most attorneys attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. will charge you out-of-pocket expenses which can include charges for copies, calls and other such costs. Find out if postage, messenger fees, court fees, dis- there will be any other incidental costs. position fees, long distance telephone The attorney may ask for a retainer

(money paid before the attorney starts working on your case). Usually placed in a trust account, the attorney pays himself or herself out of that account each time you are billed. Expenses may be paid directly from the trust account. The size of the retainer may range from a small percentage of the estimated cost to the full amount. Ask that your arrangement with an attorney be put in writing either in a letter or formal contract that states the attorney’s services and what the fee and expense arrangement will be. Even if the agreement is oral, you are responsible for all charges for work done by the attorney and his/her staff.

HOW TO
prepare legal documents
advance directives that put your affairs in order Advance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury. Finding An Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address the legal nuances, personal

preferences, and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals, or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any
medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink, or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

“I
always thought of us as relatively young and in good health,” said Betty Strubel of herself and her husband of 26 years, Jim. It was eight years ago, however, when Betty received the news that Jim had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. “It came on like I am sure it does for other people, very subtly, and it was really hard to define what was happening,” she said. Shocked and traumatized by the diagnosis, Betty also experienced feelings of frustration when trying to find the best resource to guide her through this challenging transition. Fortunately, she had a small support network that included her nearby sister Peg, her doctor and Mindy Felinton, an elder law attorney. For years, Betty was able to care for Jim in their home, but she eventually needed to hire in-home caregivers in order to continue her career with Montgomery County Public Schools. Last summer, as she was getting ready to take her two-week vacation, she realized she was at a crossroad with his care. “His needs had gotten so great,” she said.
When her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Betty Strubel (center) found a support system with Elder Law Attorney Mindy Felinton (left) and her sister, Peg.
Since their townhouse was not a suitable arrangement, she reluctantly accepted that instead of hiring a full-time caregiver, the best option was a specialty care center for those with Alzheimer’s and Memory Care needs. The financial burden of this choice, however, would be prohibitive based on the couple’s income and savings. Betty realized she would need to immediately apply for Medicaid and gather all of the supporting documentation. Her doctor then referred her to Mindy Felinton. “Mindy gave me the best news I had received in eight years,” said Betty. “She
assured me she would be the one to advocate for me and actually make this application come to fruition.” With her knowledge and experience, Mindy was able to provide Betty with choices and a strategy to protect some of the couple’s assets and ensure they would still qualify for Medicaid. “For the average person, going through this application process alone is a very daunting task,” said Mindy. The entire process from application to approval took approximately four months, and Betty got Jim into the Wilson Health Center at Asbury Methodist Village near her home and office, which has given her peace of mind. Seeing her sister’s situation has actually prompted Peg and her husband to better organize their records and think about their future, but both women have learned there are experienced professionals that can lend a helping hand in unexpected and difficult times. Learn more about Betty’s story by watching the video interview on www.retirement-living.com.

My first job out of law school was with Legal Services—a firm that represents low income clients. That was long ago but it taught me that having a beautiful office or a big staff is not necessary to the crafting of good legal solutions. What is important is to have a knowledgeable lawyer who has the ability to make complex issues clear and who has a genuine concern for costs.

are you eligible for a reverse mortgage? Several criteria must be met before a consumer is eligible for a reverse mortgage. Potential borrowers must be at least 62 years of age and live in their own home. Borrowers must also own their homes outright or have significant equity in their homes. Individuals with remaining balances on a first or second mortgage may be eligible for a reverse mortgage, but those will have to be paid off with the proceeds from the reverse mortgage first. Singlefamily homes, manufactured homes, condominiums, and townhomes are eligible
properties. There are no income, credit, or employment requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage. The amount a borrower receives is dependent on age, interest rates, and the overall value of their home. Older borrowers will generally receive more than younger borrowers, and home values are a major factor in determining the payout amount of the loan. Borrowers are required to meet with a reverse mortgage counselor before obtaining a loan. Counselors are indepen-
dent professionals who provide education about the mortgages and can suggest other alternatives. For a list of counseling agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, visit www.hud.gov or call (800) 569-4287. For more information, visit the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NRMLA) website at www.reversemortgage.org or the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.hud.gov.

HOW TO
P
get help managing money
stop watching those statements and bills pile up eople frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical statements are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers can help to alleviate these concerns by monitoring and keeping up with accounts and bills.
What is a Daily Money Manager? Daily Money Managers (DMMs) provide personal business assistance, usually in the client’s home. They offer an array of services, which include balancing the checkbook(s), writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance providers have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Additionally, DMM assistance in assembling papers needed for income tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions often means the client will pay lower taxes each year.
How Do I Find a DMM? Your local Area Agency on Aging and the American Association of Daily Money Managers (www.aadmm.com) can help you find a reliable DMM. Once you have found a DMM you are interested in hiring, it is a good idea to ask
about their experience and qualifications and know whether your DMM is bonded and insured. You also want to determine how the DMM you plan to hire bills for their work. Hourly fees vary by locale, but in this area, the average range is $40.00 to $80.00 per hour.
Daily Money Managers offer an array of services, which include balancing the checkbook, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made.

HOW TO
make financial decisions
W
when the time is now
hen it comes to taking care of your loved ones, you will undoubtedly have to make some difficult financial decisions, and you may be faced with some unwelcome surprises. Where Do You Start? OBTAIN POWER OF ATTORNEY — You will need this legal authority in order to access your loved one’s accounts and financial records. Without Power of Attorney, you will not be able to make any financial decisions and will have to have a court-appointed Conservator named. PUT TOGETHER A BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW STATEMENT — First,
create a basic balance sheet. In one column, list the value of their assets, such as their home, stocks, mutual funds, CDs, and retirement accounts. In another column, put down their liabilities, such as outstanding mortgage or car loan balances. Then, do a cash flow statement. List the monthly income from each of their investments, including reinvested dividends and capital gains, as well as any pension income and Social Security benefits. Finally, figure their monthly expenses, including mortgage or rent payments, utilities, groceries, and medical expenses.
CONSIDER ALL YOUR OPTIONS; CONSULT WITH PROFESSIONALS — In

HOW TO
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it. With the complex maze of resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved ones are primary candidates for geriatric care managers. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropri-
ate without causing undo stress. Instead of waiting for a crisis situation, you may want to turn to a GCM earlier, so that there are more options available. What Can a GCM Do for Me? COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. Utilizing their professional backgrounds and experience, care managers are able to perform an unbiased evaluation of the client’s mental, physical, social, financial, and legal functioning. RECOMMENDATIONS. After determining what services would be helpful for the well-being of the individual, the GCM can recommend providers who will best meet the family’s needs. Familiar with industry standards, they routinely make recommendations for all levels of care. COUNSELING. The counseling that
Helping Seniors for Over 30 Years
GCMs can provide helps clients and their families handle the emotional stress involved with these decisions. They provide the family with information about the illness or challenge that the client faces and the available resources. MEDIATION. GCMs can also negotiate family dynamics, helping to sort out all of the various concerns that have resulted from the challenge of caring for a loved one. FOLLOW-UP VISITS. GCMs are generally involved in the implementation of the care plan. This typically includes follow-up visits to the individual’s home or facility a couple of times a week shortly after implementation and quarterly thereafter. Some clients are visited once a week for the duration of their services. Visit caremanager.org for more information.

G e r i at r i c C a r e M a n ag e m e n t Questions To Ask When Looking For a Professional Geriatric Care Manager Professional Geriatric Care Managers have diverse experience, education, and backgrounds. Many are licensed in their state in specific fields (such as nursing or social work). Geriatric Care Managers do not specialize in all areas. When a Geriatric Care Manager says s/he practices “care management,” find out her/his areas of expertise. You will want to hire someone who regularly handles clients with similar needs.
It is important for the wise consumer to ask questions. Some of these include: 1. What are your professional credentials? 2. Are you licensed in your profession? 3. Are you a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers? 4. How long have you been providing care management services? 5. Are you available for emergencies? 6. Does your company also provide home care services? 7. How do you communicate information to me? 8. What are your fees? (These should be provided to the consumer/responsible party in writing prior to services starting.) 9. Can you provide me with references?

HOW TO
consider a gcm and costs
finding the right care manager and discussing fees When considering a GCM, take into account their professional standing, as well as their personality and how comfortable they make their clients. Although there is no official licensure process for care managers, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM) has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as GCM referrals can be obtained at www.caremanager.org. How Much Will It Cost? According to the NAPGCM website, there are many different ways of charging fees and each PGCM works differently. You will need to know how often s/he bills. Some PGCMs bill weekly, some bill monthly, some bill upon completion of
*OEJWJEVBMJ[FE 4FSWJDFT GPS UIF &MEFSMZ BOE %JTBCMFE
work. Ask about these matters at the initial conference and ask for them in writing, so there will be no surprises. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand, ask again. If you need clarification, say so. It is very important that you feel comfortable regarding your financial obligations. In addition to fees, most PGCMs will charge for out-of-pocket expenses, which may include charges for mileage, care giving supplies, long-distance telephone calls, etc. Find out if there will be any other incidental costs. There may also be additional fees if outside professionals are called into the case. It is imperative that the PGCM receives approval to bring others in before the situation arises, if at all possible. As mentioned on the NAPGCM website, be
sure to discuss and make sure you have all questions answered before proceeding with an agreement for services. You should expect a written agreement including fees before the commencement of services. As fees for a GCM range, check with your Medicare office to see if you are eligible for subsidies. The average time required by a client is four hours. After spending a couple of hours completing a comprehensive evaluation of the client, the GCM then spends a few more hours researching and discussing options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan. Information from the NAPGCM website at www.caremanger.org.

SELF-DETERMINATION I will base my plan of service on goals you, or a person designated to act for you, have defined, and which enhance the decisions you have made concerning your life.
REFERRALS/DISCLOSURE I will refer you only to services and organizations I believe to be appropriate and of good quality.

Resolving Communication Breakdowns When it comes to the different challenges associated with caring for a loved one, poor communication is often at the root of the problem. You can take comfort in the fact that there are others who have grappled with the very same issues and who can share their mistakes and solutions. These individuals can be found through support groups, your employer’s human resources department, or even just asking trusted friends and neighbors.
Seeking Assistance Employee Assistance Programs, often known as EAPs, are a service put in place by most mid-sized and large employers. These programs usually have resources available to help both employees and their families through eldercare challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.
Seeking Objectivity Sometimes an objective third party’s opinion is beneficial when you are faced with a personal family problem. Mediation professionals specialize in resolving conflicts, making compromises and leading family members through the communication process. One unique feature of this process is the non-judgmental mediator, who is skilled in improving communication among the family members. Seeking Support Attending support group meetings will allow you to meet with like-minded people, share similar scenarios, confide in each other and build healthy camaraderie. Furthermore, important resources can be shared and solutions from experienced members will abound. Seeking Advocates When it comes to a breakdown in communication between residents and communities, ombudsman are available to advocate on behalf of the residents’ rights. This national program is a great solution as the ombudsman will investigate any complaints and determine what appropriate action should be taken.

mma Alford moved her mother Annie Davis, also affectionately known as Ms. Daisy, from Mt. Vernon NY to care for her. For Emma, it was the best option after her father had passed away, especially with all of her siblings living outside of New York. It was only nine months after Emma moved her mom into her home that Ms. Daisy wanted to live on her own and be as independent as possible. She then moved into an apartment building for senior citizens conveniently located just around the corner from her daughter. In order to further enable her mother to continue living independently, Emma had also found a day care center that Ms. Daisy could attend 3-4 days a week.

diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. At what was an extremely difficult time, the family turned to Rosemary Allender, founder and owner of Family Eldercare Management, who offered her aid and assistance and provided Emma and her sister with helpful information regarding their mother’s care. Over the course of the next few years, Rosemary provided her expertise as a care manager on invaluable resources, such as how the family could get additional health care assistance through the Special Low Income Medicare Beneficiary Program. She also informed them of local support groups where they could find additional support and insight. In August 2008, at age 88, Ms. Daisy’s Alzheimer’s progressed to the late/end stage. With the continued guidance of Rosemary, they were able to provide in-home Palliative/ Hospice Care throughout the following year, when Ms. Daisy closed her eyes and peacefully transitioned.

advancements in medical equipment facilitate safe and healthy lifestyles
edical supplies and equipment fall into two major categories. Medical supplies generally refers to products that are used to make patients more comfortable and need to be replenished on a regular basis. Durable medical equipment includes items that are long-lasting and are generally one-time purchases. Medical Supplies Medical supply products help individuals cope with and manage the symptoms of illness or old age. Products include specially adapted socks and stockings, skin care products and other helpful items. Daily living aids are also available to help individuals who need assistance dressing or taking medication. Home health monitors and specialized in-home tests let patients track everything from blood pressure to heart rate.
help individuals get around. Scooters are available in a range of styles to meet individualized needs. Many individuals find outdoor mobility challenging and are searching for a personal mobility vehicle that can help them continue to participate in activities. Lift chairs are another popular mobility product that provide assistance with moving from a sitting to a standing position. Stair lifts allow individuals to move from one level of their home to another with ease, eliminating the dangerous task of climbing and descending stairs. A wide array of wheelchairs, walkers, and canes are also available to help those with mobility assistance needs. Care assistance products include hospital-style beds, equipment to help with transferring and specially formulated mattresses. All of these products are especially important for individuals who wish to remain in the home environment.
Durable Medical Equipment Durable medical equipment includes items that help elderly or disabled individuals maintain mobility and/or receive necessary care in the comfort of their homes. Durable medical equipment products can be broken into two major categories: mobility products and Paying for Supplies & Equipment care assistance products. Mobility products include a wide Medicare helps pay the costs for durange of highly advanced equipment to rable medical equipment. According to

keep in contact with family and emergency services
personal response system (PRS), sometimes called a PERS (personal emergency response system) answers the need of many older Americans for both security and independence. Many organizations, including the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), encourage their use, but for the consumer choosing from among the many brands on the market, buying a PRS can be somewhat confusing. What is a PRS? A PRS is a relatively simple tool to help keep the user in contact with friends, family, and, if needed, emergency services. Each system has three elements: a portable radio transmitter (help button), a console connected to the user’s telephone, and a response center to monitor the calls. In case of an emergency (a fall, chest pains, suspected intruder, etc.), the user simply calls for help by pressing the button on the radio transmitter. The console picks up the signal (much like an automatic garage door opener) and automatically phones the response center (even if the phone is off the hook). The call
is routed to the response center where the needs and budget constraints before decidcaller is identified through special coding. ing on any one system.

along for the ride transportation providers make sure you’ll get there The D.C. metro area has several transportation or personal concierge services that can give older adults a lift while raising their spirits as well. Not only do they provide a ride to and from important errands and engagements, but they can impart valuable companionship and can be less costly than a series of cab rides. It may be time to consider a transportation provider if your loved one has experienced memory loss, inability to perform routine tasks, impaired judgment, slowed reaction time or a diminished attention span. Some adults may even find that they like riding with a companion much better than being behind the wheel alone. This buddy approach will ensure that all the errands for the
and they can help make staying at home easier and more enjoyable by taking part in favorite hobbies with their clients, and helping with the tasks of daily life. Some popular uses for concierge services include grocery shopping, cleaning, computer training, bill paying, dry cleaning, pet services and gardening. Of course, most concierge services will accommodate any reasonable request. For the children of these aged loved ones who balance multiple tasks, this companionship is an important supplement to the care they provide at home. Next time an older friend or parent needs assistance, consider using a transportation or concierge service to make them most of your time and ensure that your loved one is receiving appropriate care.
day get finished, and appointments are kept with punctuality. Some providers will often leave a full report of the day’s activities. Wheelchair accessible transportation services are available throughout the area, but check in advance before booking services through a company. Many transportation services go above and beyond the simple ride, offering personal concierge services so your loved one will experience healthy companionship. For those who wish to remain in their own homes, completing daily tasks such as cooking, shopping, appointments and filling prescriptions can become too much to handle alone. Concierge services know that seniors do not have to sacrifice their independence

someone is ‘hear’ to help the latest technologies in hearing aids adjust to your lifestyle
H
earing aid technology has advanced tremendously in recent years. Today’s hearing aids offer options that dramatically reduce background noise, can be programmed for a variety of hearing environments, and can distinguish between voices and noise, just to name a few features. Due to advances in micro technology and the use of micro chips, hearing aids have developed into smaller and more complex devices. Hearing aids now afford users the opportunity to hear in a natural way. Depending on the degree of hearing loss and personal preferences, today’s tients have a wide variety of hearing aids to choose from. For individuals who are concerned about the stigma of wearing a hearing aid, there are completely-in-thecanal hearing aids that fit deep into the ear canal and are virtually invisible. An in-the-canal hearing aid provides added power and is also cosmetically appealing. For volume control and an aid smaller than the in-the-canal version, individuals can opt for the mini-canal hearing aid. If inserting and operating small devices poses a problem, patients can choose the in-the ear aid, which is encased in a full shell. In cases of profound hearing loss, a behind-the-ear aid will be able to provide individuals with added amplification.
In cases of profound hearing loss, a behind-the-ear aid will be able to provide individuals with added amplification.
Individuals should heed the warning signs of hearing loss and visit an audiologist or hearing professional to get the help they need. Only a thorough examination by a hearing care professional can determine whether or not a specific case of hearing loss is treatable. A professional will also be able to recommend treatment options that take into account the degree of hearing loss and personal lifestyle needs. Choosing a hearing care provider is an important decision, and consumers should consider the provider’s level of ex-

HOW TO
choose care insurance
when and how to make the purchase Long-term care insurance helps to cover the expenses accrued from all types of long-term care, including longterm physical illnesses, disabilities, or cognitive impairment. Unlike traditional medical care, long-term care generally helps an individual maintain their current lifestyle while helping to ensure stability and comfort. Individuals should begin to consider it before they have difficulty performing the activities of daily living. Be aware that the costs of care are extreme. Major Medical insurance will not pay most of these costs because conventional plans only cover skilled care, as opposed to the intermediate or custodial care normally provided in an assisted living, nursing facility, or by a home health care worker.
Individuals with a physical illness or a cognitive impairment may require longterm care, which Medicaid will not pay for until they have “spent down” their assets. Therefore, this type of insurance can prevent a family from facing financial ruin due to the costs of care. If you have less than $25,000 a year in retirement income and less than $200,000 in assets, Medicaid can absorb the costs of long-term care once you have depleted these resources. Additionally, insurance can provide the funds for aging in place safely. Some Things to Keep in Mind
BENEFIT PERIOD TO BE COVERED. This is the length of time that the policy will pay you the daily benefit for covered services. You can generally choose to buy coverage from 2-5 years or for a lifetime.
MARYLAND HEALTH CARE COMMISSION
Keep in mind that some conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, may require up to eight years of care . DAILY BENEFIT AMOUNT. Insurance policies offer ranging daily benefit amounts. You should research the cost of different facilities and at-home care in your community to determine how much insurance you should purchase. However, you may incur charges over the listed daily costs for medical supplies and special assistance. BENEFIT TRIGGERS. The two major triggers that determine when benefits are payable are functional disability and cognitive impairment. It is important that these are listed in the policy as “stand-alone triggers,” i.e. you don’t have to exhibit both in order to start collecting benefits.

turn to ask medicare for caregiving resources Are you caring for an aging, disabled or seriously ill friend or family member? If so, you’re one of more than 66 million people who serve the important role of a caregiver. For many caregivers, a typical day can involve everything from questions about Medicare claims and prescription drugs, to preparing meals and running errands, to searching for the best long-term care or in-home services. Created by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Ask Medicare initiative offers numerous resources to make your life easier. Recently updated and accessed online at www. medicare.gov/caregivers, Ask Medicare provides tips and helpful resources on enrolling in the Medicare program, coping with a chronic illness, comparing drug plans and long-term care options and more. You can find answers to com-
monly asked billing questions and utilize an interactive tool that will help you determine which services are covered by Medicare. In addition, the site offers access to a free e-newsletter with the latest updates from Medicare and a video series that provides useful tips on managing transitions in care, such as being discharged from the hospital or moving into a long-term care facility. The Ask Medicare Web site also links to select state and local organizations that can assist with meals, provide transportation, identify available in-home services and offer caregiving training and support. Caregivers of aging family members or friends can access additional resources through CMS’s peer agency, the Administration on Aging (AoA), which offers the Eldercare Locator to help older Americans and connect to services in the community.

About Us The Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition (NVFPC) is a 501c3, not-for-profit organization dedicated to reducing the growing number of falls and fall-related injuries among older adults throughout Virginia. The Coalition was formed in November 2008 to promote a new era of collaboration between members, including health care providers, community service providers, government agencies, and local business owners who serve the aging population every day. The NVFPC conducts free fall prevention seminars and distributes thousands of pieces of fall prevention
literature throughout the year to heighten public awareness to this issue, and to promote the effectiveness of prevention measures. The NVFPC follows the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) Preventing Falls program, a nationwide initiative that advocates the creation of community based organizations to educate the public about fall prevention. To learn more about the NVFPC or to find the next seminar near you visit our website: www.nvfpc.org
4 things YOU can do to prevent falls 1. Begin a regular exercise program Exercise is one of the most important ways to lower your chances of falling. It makes you stronger and helps you feel better. Exercises that improve balance and coordination (like Yoga or Tai Chi) are the most helpful. Lack of exercise leads to weakness and increases your chances of falling. Ask your doctor or health care provider about the best type of exercise program for you. 2. Have your health care provider review your medicines Have your doctor or pharmacist review all the medicines you take, even over-the-counter medicines. As you get older, the way medicines work in your body can change. Some medicines, or combinations of medicines, can make you sleepy or dizzy and can cause you to fall. 3. Have your vision checked Have your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. You may be wearing the wrong glasses or have a condition like glaucoma or cataracts that limits your vision. Poor vision can increase your chances of falling.
4. Make your home safer About half of all falls happen at home. To make your home safer: • Remove things you can trip over (like papers, books, clothes, and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk. • Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping. • Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool. Have grab bars put in next to your toilet and in the tub or shower. • Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors. • Improve the lighting in your home. As you get older, you need brighter lights to see well. Hang light-weight curtains or shades to reduce glare. • Have handrails and lights put in on all staircases. • Wear shoes both inside and outside the house. Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers.
Tips for Exercising • Wear comfortable clothes and shoes • Drink water before and after exercise • Do exercises slowly and gently • If you feel pain, STOP that exercise and discuss it with your doctor before resuming • If you feel breathless or dizzy, STOP and rest

To take your medication safely you need to know: • What is the brand and generic name of my medication? • Why do I need to take this medication? • How do I take this medication? • What are the side effects of this medication?
• What should I do if I run out of this medication? • Where should I store this medication? • What do I do with medication I don’t need anymore? • Who do I talk to when I have a problem or question?
It takes a moment, just a moment to change a life forever. Anne Blackstone, MSPT, Certified by the American Institute on Balance Inova Loudoun Hospital, Pediatric and Adult Rehabilitation Center • 703-858-6667 One of every three adults 65 years old and older falls each year. Falls are the leading causes of injury deaths in this age group. Approximately 50% of those hospitalized for fall-related hip fractures cannot return home or live independently after their injuries. (Centers for Disease Control, 2009.) Many report, “it happened so quick,” it was just a moment. Balance is an integral part of every day activities most people take for granted, such as getting dressed, walking to the car, and reaching into a cabinet. Just about everything we do throughout the day requires some element of balance control. Most people don’t even think about it…. Until there is a problem. Suddenly even the simplest of tasks become difficult, and in some cases terrifying. What can you do to make sure this doesn’t happen to you? Your risk for falls depends on several factors, the first of which is medication management. A common side effect of many medications is drowsiness and/or light-headedness. Interactions between medications, even over-the counter medications may produce these symptoms as well. Be sure to have an annual check of your medications by your doctor or pharmacist to ensure you are not at risk for side effects that may increase your risk for falls. Additionally, effective balance control relies on information from three balance sensory systems; the eyes, the inner ear (Vestibular System), and the muscles/joints of the body. The brain receives this information and coordinates the body’s movements necessary to maintain balance. Participation in a balance focused exercise program prescribed to you by a balance specialist will help your body to capitalize on its stronger balance sensory systems, and work to train their less effective ones. You should also have an annual vision check to ensure accurate visual input. Furthermore, participation in a daily exercise/walking program will help to ensure you maintain adequate range of motion and strength in your legs to ensure that your body can respond efficiently to any challenges to balance you may encounter. Finally, ensure your home environment is not placing you at an increased risk for falls. Remove any loose items
from the floor such as clothes/shoes or throw rugs that you can easily trip over. Install grab bars in bathrooms when indicated, and make sure your hallways and stairwells have adequate lighting. It only takes a moment to act today and reduce your risk of falling tomorrow. It only takes a moment, which will be yours? LivingSourceAd-33x16-OL.pdf 3/16/11 3:41:00 PM

Open Your Eyes to Fall Prevention Dr. Peyam Mojallal • pmojallal@mojvision.org • 703-723-3433
As our body matures there are many changes to our eyes and vision which can put us at increased risk for falls. These changes can be as a result of disease or just normal age related changes. Some of the changes can be corrected easily, while others require lifestyle or environmental modifications. However, it is extremely important not to ignore any of the changes because many times falls can be a life changing incident. The following table presents many of the common age related vision changes which can occur and what can be done about them. It is not meant to act as a diagnostic instrument, nor take the place of regular visits to your eye doctor. The minimum eye exam frequency for people over the age 50 is once a year. Condition

Note from the Chairman
Another year has passed and the Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition’s (NVFPC) message “Falls are NOT an inevitable part of aging, falls are preventable!” continues to gain momentum. This 501c3 grass roots organization formed in November of 2008, and as of this publication spans 9 Virginia counties. Our unique approach to addressing falls suffered by our elder Virginians has fostered a new environment of cooperation between organizations serving elder Virginians and their families. Regional hospitals, physicians, nonprofit organizations, Area Agencies on Aging, rehabilitation centers, home care/home health care agencies and senior living communities all stand together in addressing this growing health concern. The following statistics provided by the Division of Injury Prevention highlight the importance of our work. Between 2004 and 2008: • 1,613 Virginians over the age of 65 died as a result of a fall. • There were over 60,000 hospitalizations as a result of a fall. • Hospital costs alone were 1.6 billion dollars. We carried this report to the 2011 Virginia General Assembly in Richmond and the positive response we received indicates further support for this initiative by our
elected officials in the coming year. The NVFPC’s mission is to give every Virginian the opportunity to learn about fall prevention initiatives in their community, and what they can do to prevent a fall. Planning is underway for the NVFPC to provide; fall risk assessment screenings, exercise programs, vision screenings, medication reviews, and home safety assessments in the community. The NVFPC membership has stepped up to provide these crucial services at a time when government is cutting back on services. This is an exciting time as a forum, facilitated by the Virginia Department of Health, Division of Injury Prevention, will be held in Charlottesville to discuss the formation of a statewide coalition with other like minded groups from across the state. We applaud their efforts to hold this important forum. I am very proud of this organization’s achievements and challenge you to help make a difference in our community by spreading the word that “Falls are NOT an inevitable part of aging, falls are preventable!” Contact us and see how you can help make a difference. www.nvfp.org Tony Schaffer, Chairman of the Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition
2010 Fall Prevention Summit Inova Loudoun Hospital hosted the NVFPC’s 2nd annual Fall Prevention Summit on October 14th, 2010. Our distinguished lineup of expert speakers engaged the audience throughout the day with presentations on fall related issues including healthy aging, dementia and Alzheimer’s, and traumatic brain injury. Summit attendees included, elected state officials, state and local government agencies, the local Commissions on Aging, clinicians, private healthcare providers, NPO’s, and private citizens. All attendees were invited to participate in an open forum to discuss what steps can be taken to broaden the reach of the fall prevention initiatives in our communities and across the state. The event was a major milestone for the NVFPC in spreading our message of cooperation, education and prevention; and calling to action the medical professionals in our community, and local and state law makers. The NVFPC is looking for qualified speakers to lecture on the following subjects: • Medication Management • Vision • Home Safety & Modifications • Exercise Contact us to find out how you can become a speaker at a NVFPC event www.nvfpc.org 90

Reducing Falls With Those Who Have Dementia Nancy Dezan, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Family Day Center Joan is a tiny, 75 year old woman with Alzheimer’s disease who enjoys sitting quietly in her big, overstuffed chair. Hearing laughter outside her room, Joan moves to stand up and join the revelry. In doing so, however, she forgets to uncross her legs and Joan falls to the floor, injuring her arm. An hour later, Joan has no memory of the fall and no clue as to why she is experiencing pain. Incidents like these are all too common among those with dementia. In fact, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease experience more than twice the rate of falls compared to others in their age group. Once the fall has occurred, these individuals are also more likely to suffer a serious injury and have more difficulty recovering. Why? The brain damage that occurs with Alzheimer’s and related diseases can cause a multitude of factors that contribute to the risk of falling. Even in the earliest stages
of the disease, individuals complain of difficulty with balance and coordination. They may frequently bump into furniture or have the feeling of falling when climbing a staircase. Visual perception is compromised, and the individual may not recognize cracks in the sidewalk or a small pet in their path. Many of the medications used to reduce anxiety or calm agitation, have side effects that cause poor balance, restlessness and rigidity. The common dementia symptoms of poor judgment combined with impulsive behavior can also lead to risky behavior and falling. For the caregiver, prevention is the key. The most successful intervention is to determine the specific cause of the fall. For example, if the fall is the result of sleep medication, the caregiver should focus on changing medication or finding alternate ways to enhance sleep rather than limiting the individual’s daytime mobility due to fear of falling. In fact, regular exercise is one of the best ways to work toward reducing falls with individuals who have dementia. Physical activity helps to reduce agitation and anxiety, enhance cognitive function, develop strength and balance, and improve sleep. Even mild exercise may be one of the best strategies to begin to reduce falls and injuries with those who have dementia.
Fire & Rescue
Joy Dotson, Public Education Specialist, Loudoun County FMO • 703-771-5551 Each year, many people dial 911 for fall related injuries. In 2010, Loudoun County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services responded to 1,767 calls for residents who had injuries from a fall. Although each call for service is different, the one thing that the majority of these emergencies had in common is the fact that most of them were preventable. Our role as EMS providers is to stabilize the patient on the scene to the best of our ability and safely transport them to the nearest medical facility for treatment. We have a variety of tools to treat fall injuries from basic splinting and back boarding to advanced pain management options as directed by our local protocols and med control. In addition to providing emergency care, our other role as EMS providers is to educate the public as often as possible to the dangers of falls in the home. This can be done through formal sem-
inars and workshops as well as one on one conversation with residents when we are in their homes. No matter what the setting, fire and rescue realizes the impact an injury from a fall can have on someone’s life and we are committed to helping our community in any way we can.

HOW TO
find resources for military
D.C. region offers resources to military & federal retirees who have served our country
M
ilitary personnel and federal employees are essential to the function and success of the federal government. As our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is home to a large number of federal employees, military personnel, and their families. From retirement communities for military officers and their spouses to associations that represent the needs of federal employees, there are resources available in this area to help those who have served our country. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), there are 25 million veterans currently alive, and three of every four of those veterans completed their service during a period of war or hostility. Their website notes that “approximately 70 million people are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members, or survivors of veterans.” Countless organizations, associations, and communities serve the large concentration of these veterans and their family members who live in the D.C. metro area.
From independent living to nursing care, there are communities in the D.C. area available to serve the needs of military retirees. Many of these communities cater specifically to retired officers and their spouses. Communities are often located near military hospitals or medical centers, and transportation is often provided. These communities provide a vital service to retired military personnel, and combine lifestyle amenities with readily available services. In addition to the resources listed on this page, veterans should be aware of the benefits available through the VA Disability Pension benefits include a special benefit for Aid and Attendance. The Aid and Attendance benefit is for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular assistance of another person with activities of daily living, including eating, bathing, dressing, and toileting. Nursing home patients, assisted living residents, and individuals who are blind are also covered under this benefit. War veterans with 90 days of active duty and/or their surviving spouses are eligible for this benefit. Beneficiaries must also meet certain medical and financial requirements. In order to qual-

ify, applicants must file appropriate paperwork, receive a medical examination by a physician, meet net worth and net income limitations, and submit information detailing out-of-pocket medical expense costs. Those deemed eligible can use the Aid and Attendance benefit to pay for care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living community. Veterans and their spouses will receive set monthly payments. To apply for any of the VA’s wide range of benefits, call 1-800-827-1000 or visit their website at www.va.gov. Other benefits for veterans and their family members include: Education, Home Loan Guaranty, Disability Compensation, Disability Pension, Dependency Indemnity Compensation, Death Pension, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), Medical Care, Burial, and Life Insurance. Both military and government retirees should investigate all of the benefits, services, and options that are available to them. The list on page 96 includes contact information for many of these resources.

active adult communities are full of options and most of the costs are included in the living fees. Homes are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards so residents can enjoy the tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking paths and fitness centers that are generally available within these communities. When researching this option, start by requesting information packets from prospective communities. Once you have narrowed down your options, schedule visits to each. While you are there, take

Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems.

When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

HOW TO
receive care for life
continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). These communities offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level, and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. There are three basic types of CCRC contracts.
An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and
amenities. While emergency and shortterm nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life and assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

HOW TO
understand entrance fees
knowing the options when paying for ccrcs clines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. Full refunds offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are par-

The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee), and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement de-

arta and Jim Harkins easily recall the exact time they met. That is because the Greenwich Village New York City residents stood at the same bus stop every day at 8:30 in the morning; Jim heading to his job at a bank and Marta to her job as an office manager for a small manufacturing company. Their small talk soon progressed to dinner and today they celebrate 51 years of marriage. The couple relocated to Arlington where they raised their two children as Jim, a Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Colonel, worked for the Veterans Administration while Marta ran a tax business. Eventually, the nest emptied and the family grew with four grandchildren. In 2002, the Harkins decided to consider downsizing when the older of the two turned 80 years old. They were further inspired after visiting a past neighbor at Vinson Hall, a continuing care retirement community
located in McLean, VA for commissioned military officers and their immediate family members, as well as career government officers. “We were very impressed, so we applied and got an apartment here,” said Jim. With their positive attitudes toward the move, the couple did not struggle with downsizing like other couples they know. Instead, the couple boasts about their new apartment. They feel it’s one of the best in the community due to its unique floor plan and great views. Vinson Hall’s close proximity to Arlington allows Marta and Jim to continue using the same doctors and easily maintain other community ties. In fact, Marta, who is legally blind, continues the hospital volunteer work she is so passionate about. “I am still in good shape so I can do it,” she said. “I love it; I really and truly do.” Another attribute of Vinson Hall they appreciate is its small size of less than 200 residents that have come to feel like
family. “The residents are from all walks of life and many have travelled all over the world,” said Jim. “We have more sense of community here than we had in Arlington.” And with their close-knit “family” they have enjoyed the many social activities the community offers. Jim continues to coordinate movie viewings in the community, as he has for the past eight years, while Marta is the coordinator for the low vision support group, which even includes non-residents. It’s the sense of community and enjoyable lifestyle they have found that encourages Marta to share her proactive mentality about downsizing. “Don’t wait until you must move, do it when you can,” she said.

continuing care residents’ associations n
by William A. Root
Continuing Care Residents’ Associations consist of individual residents in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) who have banded together to protect, defend, and further their welfare, interests, and rights. They are the only organizations for which this is the sole function. There is a National Continuing Care Residents’ Association (NaCCRA) and also similar Associations at the State level, such as Maryland Continuing Care Residents’ Association (MaCCRA). NaCCRA and MaCCRA activities are financed from dues and donations paid by individual residents of CCRCs directly to these organizations. NaCCRA and MaCCRA interact with associations managing or accrediting CCRCs. These are LeadingAge, its
Life Span branch in Maryland, and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities- Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CARF-CCAC). LeadingAge and Life Span activities related to CCRCs are financed from assessments which CCRCs pay, utilizing funds received from residents. Fortunately, LeadingAge and NaCCRA share many objectives, as do Life Span and MaCCRA. But there are some important issues on which management and resident perspectives differ. These differences often involve financial matters. One of the fundamental issues is the uncertain legal status of CCRC residents. For most CCRCs, a resident pays a large entrance fee which is partially or fully refundable. In a few CCRCs,
entrance fees are kept in an escrow account to guarantee availability for eventual refund. In most other CCRCs, entrance fees are used to pay capital and/ or operational costs, relying on entrance fee receipts from successor residents to finance refunds. The question therefore arises as to whether residents are the beneficiaries of a trust or are they simply customers of care services, as some managements perceive them. Both NaCCRA and MaCCRA are seeking clarification. William is a member, and President, of the Maryland Continuing Care Residents’ Association (MaCCRA) and is also a member of the National Continuing Care Residents’ Association (NaCCRA).

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance
T
he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of the endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help. What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium, or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a
community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms, and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed. Paying for Independent Living Communities Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents can purchase
their own units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few independent living communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. However, it is important to note that there is almost always a waiting list for subsidized units, so start your planning earlier if you need this assistance. To learn more about what is available, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. What to Look For Research your options and request information from those communities to which you have narrowed your focus. Discussing services and amenities in detail with staff can help ensure you find the home that is right for you. A major question for those who are considering an independent living community is how to meet their future health care needs. It is important to have a specific plan covering various levels of care, especially if you are only interested in making one move during this time. You also may want to question whether to select a fee-for-service arrangement or an all-inclusive fee.

what is senior center plus? Senior Center Plus is a program of structured group activities and enhanced socialization, which is designed to have a positive impact on physically frail, or cognitively impaired individuals. The services available at a Senior Center Plus site are recreational activities, and socialization, in accordance with the care plan developed for each participant. Appropriate meals and snacks are served to participants in a dining area accessible to persons with disabilities. The level of personal support is less in-
tensive than medical adult day care, yet the eight participant to one staff ratio is greater than the staffing ratio of community senior centers. The daily fee schedule is determined by the Senior Center Plus provider based on the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating budget. A sliding fee scale is used and a limited number of scholarships are available. Respite fees are paid by family, participants, caregivers, Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Group Home operators, and assisted living providers. This service is eligible for
Medicaid reimbursement via the Maryland Medicaid Waiver. There are currently 43 Senior Center PLUS sites in Maryland. For more information, contact 1-800-AGE-DIAL.

understand rental options According to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level applies, a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24-hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several
rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing, or low-income housing that is owned and operated by a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with
More Than Just Flowers
loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privatelyowned communities near you. Source: http://www.aahsa.org/article. aspx?id=3780

“I
came from a very hardworking family; my mother sacrificed everything for her children,” said Washington, D.C. native, Caroline Boston. Recounting the changes over the years, she said, “I grew up with a school right down the block, but I had to walk seven blocks to school because we were segregated. The city was definitely divided by race and class.” Now a resident of Friendship Terrace, an independent living community in Northwest D.C., she said, “I never dreamed I would live in a place like this, I grew up in the slums of Southwest D.C.”
She was already familiar with the community, having shopped at its local supermarket many times. “I remember passing by this very building and saying to myself, ‘Gee, I would like to live in that building,’” she said. One day, Caroline noticed an Open House sign in front of the building and decided to take a look. She was invited to fill out an application, but thought she would never hear back. Within a month, however, her application was accepted. “It is one of the best things to ever happen to me,” she said. Having lived in Friendship Terrace for nine years now, she said everyone feels like family, including the caring staff. She has made many friendships and takes advantage of as many

activities as she can, such as exercise classes, discussion groups and other social gatherings. “It’s so interesting to sit at dinner and just listen to people’s stories,” she said. “They have done so many things that I never been privileged to do. Living here has really contributed to my growth, my confidence level is higher, and I understand the differences in people.”
Faces of Friendship “Moving to Friendship Terrace was the best thing I ever did.” - Greg Betor (shown with his dog, Billy), resident since 1999
With a busy career as a housing development specialist, Greg worked in 27 states across the country and lived in eleven. But like they say, there’s no place like home, and after retiring, he decided to move to Friendship Terrace only blocks away from his childhood home. Although the familiar neighborhood setting was a factor, he also enjoys the affordable pricing, access to public transportation, and walking the tree-lined streets with his favorite Friendship Terrace resident - his dog, Billy!

Assisted Living communities offer housing and a variety of supportive services delivered by qualified staff members.

Community amenities vary widely but can include private units, state-of-the-art facilities, beautifully decorated common areas, barber shops and beauty parlors, pharmacies, physical therapy services, recreation rooms, libraries, gardening areas, and fitness centers.

Assisted Living 10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living Facility 1. M ake an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental, and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices, and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions. 4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman who are advocates for assisted living and nursing home residents. 7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility. 8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate or move to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee? Ask what are additional charges for services/products? 10. Choose the facility that comes closest to your needs. From The Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a national consumer education and advocacy organization. Visit www.ccal.org for more information. Z7008-VH GRL Ad 1110

The Facts on Congregate Housing Supportive Services for low to moderate incomes n Congregate Housing provides supportive services to residents in selected independent living communities to help them remain independent. n Congregate Housing services are offered in senior citizen apartment buildings that serve low-to-moderate income residents and may be operated by local housing authorities, non-profit organizations, or housing management companies. n Eligible persons receive daily meals, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and assistance with other activities of daily living.
n In Maryland, the State Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program. n Participants must be 62, mentally or physically impaired and of limited income. Spouses of eligible participants must be 55 years of age or older and meet the same requirements. n Individual program participants contribute to the cost of Congregate Housing based on a sliding scale. To qualify for available state subsidies, an individual’s income may not exceed 60% of the state median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple.
For more information, contact the Maryland Department of Aging at 1-800-243-3425

am an immigrant and I have benefitted greatly from coming to this country, so I am very interested in the problems of people like me,” said Frank Collins, Ph.D., a resident at Potomac Place in Woodbridge, Va. Frank is a retired college professor, lifelong political and social justice activist, and an advocate on immigrants’ rights. There is no doubt that he takes on each of his interests and pursuits with passion. A graduate of Columbia University,
Through a research project that has spanned over several years, Frank Collins discovered a flaw in one of Einstein’s theories and shares his findings with physicists across the country.
Frank taught Physical Chemistry most of his career at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. “I was so involved in teaching, I didn’t do much research,” he said. After retiring, however, Frank became interested in Physics. These days, he spends his time engrossed in a research project that has spanned several years. It is a passion the 99-year-old credits for his longevity. “I have something to live for,” he said with a big smile. Fueled by curiosity, Frank has

discovered a flaw in Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. He has documented his findings in great detail and has begun to share them with physicists at several universities across the country. Frank quipped, “I am not brighter than Einstein, and he knew a lot more about Mathematics than I ever will, but I think he was wrong.” Born and raised in New Zealand, Frank left the country when he was a teenager. He shared how his father was prone to drinking alcohol when the U.S. was under Prohibition. “It was a golden opportunity
for my mother,” he said with a laugh. Before permanently moving to Potomac Place, Frank and his wife had actually stayed there for two weeks as he recovered from a head injury that had put him in the hospital. When Frank’s wife started showing signs of memory loss, however, they looked around but were again drawn to the community based on their experience and its location less than a half mile from their home. As time went on, she began to have more pronounced memory loss issues and
moved to The Rose Memory Care Center, a specialized section focusing on Memory and Alzheimer’s Care. “She is quite happy there, which I think is very important,” said Frank. And he is certainly happy that he can visit and spend time with her regularly while continuing his research knowing she is in a safe and secure environment.

assisted living service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for their care that describes their needs, likes and preferences and the specific manner in which this care will be delivered. Prepared thoroughly and thoughtfully, the service plan can help a resident achieve their highest level of function and quality of life. The service plan uses an interdisciplinary approach and includes the resident, the family if the resident wishes, the facility nurse and resident service coordinator, and may also include the activity
and dining directors. Many states require that assisted living facilities prepare service plans for each resident. Even if the state does not require it, a well run facility will use them. CCAL recommends that service plans be reevaluated every six months or anytime if there is a significant change in a resident’s health status including a hospitalization. For more information, visit the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living website at www.ccal.org

Assisted Living R e al - L i f e S t o r y By Max Charleston oday, when I turned the calendar over to show a new month, I realized that close to two years had passed since my wife, Marge, and I moved to an assisted living community. It seemed to be a good occasion for looking back at all that Marge and I had endured which led to our life-changing decision. I imagine our story would not be too different from our fellow residents. We did not give up our home because we wanted to, but because we had to. Some years ago, I had a stroke. I made a good recovery, but some impact proved to be permanent. Slowly, but surely, I found keeping up with the maintenance of our home was proving to be too much for me. Also Marge endured a series of injuries; a broken back, a broken ankle, a fractured pelvis, a partial hip replacement and more. Our home was no longer safe. We looked at a number of similar retirement places before settling on
T
When maintaining their home became too challenging, Max and Marge Charleston made the move to an assisted living community where they have been impressed with the staff and variety of activities.
Springhouse of Bethesda. It was in a good neighborhood and was reasonably close to our children. We are satisfied that we made a good choice, although tearing our home apart in preparation for the move was a grim experience. A big change from our past way of living
was that we had to conform to other people’s schedule. That meant we had to give a little, perhaps more than a little, and we couldn’t live in the past. That can be difficult. I noticed that some of our fellow residents had trouble adjusting to the food. Serving over 80 meals for lunch and dinner couldn’t possibly satisfy varying tastes. Once again, compromise was necessary. I was most impressed by the variety of activities offered at the community. Participating fully could keep you busy and never bored. Of course, for many, physical constraints were a defining factor. I have been most impressed by our fellow residents. Many have remarkable academic backgrounds and most have a good deal of common sense. The staff here is well motivated and friendly. That is a reflection of good leadership. I should know because I spent most of my working years in a profession where good leadership saved lives. Indeed Marge and I are well satisfied with our decision to move to Springhouse.
It’s all about our ‘residents’ and ‘staff ’ at Woodland!

HOW TO
find residential living
a more close-knit way of life Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well as they can enjoy participating in the preparation and serv-
ing of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. Small assisted living facilities allow residents As with any community, it is important to maintain independence. to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families. For more information, a comprehensive Be sure that you are given specific infor- guide to selecting a residence can be obmation about caregiver training, commu- tained through the Consumer Consortium nity amenities and costs. on Assisted Living at www.ccal.org.

assisted living residents and children beat to the same drum
M
ost people think of bingo and bridge as the primary activities in senior living communities. These days, however, there are dozens of unique and innovative programming concepts being offered in communities. In fact, drum circles are a welcomed new offering at dozens of communities throughout the region thanks to Alan Yellowitz, founder of The Beat Goes On, a company that facilitates percussionbased activities. According to Yellowitz, these musical activities are a great way to enable individuals to come together and contribute to the group in their own way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drum circles are all about forming a community of folks that are creating rhythms together; everyone has their piece,â&#x20AC;? he said. Two local assisted living communities have even used drum circles to expand the community beyond their walls and forge relationships with local schools and children. Sunrise at Bluemont Park in Arlington, Va. had a program in which the residents of the community were pen pals with second graders at Ashlawn Elementary School. The community then held a drum
In April 2010 residents of Tall Oaks Assisted Living hosted 22 children from Sunset Hills Montessori to participate together in an intergenerational drum circle.
circle led by Yellowitz as a way to connect the residents and children for their first face-to-face meeting. Another community promoting this activity is Tall Oaks Assisted Living in Reston, Va., where Yellowitz first led drum circles with the residents and then students at Sunset Hills Montessori. The two groups then joined together for a large intergenerational drum circle, which also kicked off a new program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were ex-

cited to connect our students with the seniors to share and learn about music and culture together,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Christopher Green, a music teacher at Sunset Hills Montessori. Not only are these drum circles a new and fun activity to keep residents engaged, but they have proved to be a beneficial way to span generations and connect residents of a community with nearby individuals of all ages.

HOW TO
pay for assisted living
know your options paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The NCAL reports that â&#x20AC;&#x153;certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.â&#x20AC;? Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those that are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs.
Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. These figures are averages only and do not account for more affordable or subsidized options that are available in most areas. Individuals should investigate all avail- Area Agencies on Aging can provide informaable payment sources and obtain specific tion on subsidies and other payment assisinformation on standard rates and fees tance programs for assisted living care. for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. provide more detailed information about Financial and insurance experts can all the available payment sources.

ertrude (Trudy) Sussman worked well in to her 80s managing the books for a large medical group in New Jersey. She was a bit of a legend in both the medical group and the hospital to which it was attached. She thrived on work and interacting with her colleagues. She celebrated weddings, births, and then the weddings of the children whose births she had celebrated. Trudy has been widowed for many years. She had three children who gave her seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Although most of her working life was spent in New Jersey, Trudy raised her family in a small town in New York where, at various times, she worked for the school system, the bank, and an agricultural supply company. During these years, she was also active in the community. She wrote for a local newspaper and participated in amateur theater productions to raise money for charities. She also bowled and loved to

dance. After moving to New Jersey, she continued bowling and recorded a score of over 200 when she was in her 70s. Her other interests included regular visits to New York for Broadway shows, and traveling. She has visited Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Having led such an active life, Trudy, nor her family, had ever seriously addressed the issue of retirement. When she had a stroke, her family was not well prepared for finding her a safe and pleasant place to live. After an
extended period in a rehabilitation facility, she was ready for discharge, and the scramble to find her a home began. Fortunately, her son Ivan discovered an assisted living search service. With this assistance, Ivan visited a number of homes that seemed perfectly acceptable for his mother. “When we visited Atrium Assisted Living, I saw a facility that was not just acceptable, but very special,” he said. “The house was spotless and well designed. The atmosphere is that of a family rather than an institution.” For Ivan, the choice was almost immediate, and their experience since has only confirmed the decision. “The owner, Devi Datla, is one of the most amazing people I have ever met,” he said. “She thinks of each of the residents as family and has a staff that follows that principle.” In fact, when Trudy was recently hospitalized for a few days, Devi brought her flowers and cheered her up at the hospital. Upon Trudy’s return to Atrium, she was greeted like family and it truly felt like she was home again.

HOW TO
care for a loved one
the well spouse association offers support n by Terri Corcoran
M
arriage has enough challenges when both partners are basically healthy. But if one partner becomes ill or disabled with a chronic condition that is not going to get better, the dynamics of the marriage completely change. Instead of husband and wife, the relationship becomes “ill spouse” and “well spouse,” with the well spouse taking on not only a caregiving role, but also taking on more and more of the responsibilities of daily life. In extreme (albeit not rare) cases, when the ill spouse is completely disabled mentally and physically, the well spouse becomes responsible for everything in their lives, from managing the illness with all its inherent medical care complexities to managing finances, shopping, home repairs, and parenting if there are children at home. Add to these physical stresses the well spouses’ excruciating grief at watching their life partners become hopelessly ill and disabled. To say the least, the marriage relationship becomes drastically altered and challenged. In marriages afflicted by certain chronic, degenerative illnesses, well spouses may suffer the painful losses of verbal communication and physical intimacy with their partners. Loss of income is also a major issue if the ill spouse and/or the well spouse cannot continue to work.
In addition to sharing emotional support, WSA members exchange tips on practical matters, such as where to find medical equipment, home health care agencies, and other staples of the caregiver’s life.
The relationship of well spouses to the outside world also changes – social isolation may result from no longer working outside the home, and it is common for extended family and friends to drift away rather than lend much-needed support. As a result, the physical, emotional and mental burdens can become unbearable for well spouses, rendering them exhausted, depressed, angry, frustrated, hopeless, and feeling trapped and abandoned. The good news is that there is help for caregiving spouses at the Well Spouse Association (WSA), a national/
international peer-to-peer, non-profit support organization. Whether on the online Forum or in a face-to-face support group, WSA offers a safe haven for spousal caregivers to talk about their situations openly, to express frustration, anger and grief, and to receive compassionate understanding from others who walk the same difficult journey. It is a tremendous relief to be able to talk to people who listen to you and truly “get it.” There are currently 60 local area WSA support groups throughout the U.S., and two in Canada. The online Forum has over 2000 participants. Friendships form instantly as all well spouses have so much in common, despite the differences in particular circumstances or the different illnesses of their partners. In addition to sharing emotional support, WSA members exchange tips on practical matters, such as where to find medical equipment, home health care agencies, and other staples of the caregiver’s life. WSA meetings are not all glumness – lots of laughter is shared also! The WSA website (www.wellspouse. org) offers articles and blogs by members, an online discussion forum, and links to many caregiving resources. Respite weekends and an annual national conference are among activities organized by WSA. For more information, the WSA office can be reached at 800838-0879.

HOW TO
interview for senior housing
understanding the process I participated in almost 700 interviews, all the same, yet all different. I would meet with the elder first and answer his questions. I would find out where he was currently living and why he wanted to move. Then the family members joined us. I would answer more questions, discuss the entrance requirements, and go through the activity calendar. I would then ask for the required documents. I also read aloud a document to them, to prevent any misunderstanding, about what we had done that day and what the next steps were. I then took the whole group on a tour of an apartment and the common areas. I made sure to introduce the applicant by name to all residents and staff who passed by us on the tour. For some senior buildings, the procedure is to have you fill out an application and return it to the staff before you come for the interview. For some plac-
n

es, you have to pay to be on the waiting list. You should understand what each building requires. Questions You Should Ask n What are the good/bad points about this facility? n Do I meet the financial requirements? n What will my apartment or room look like? n How much will it cost me to live here each month? n What kind of meal program do you offer? n How large is the staff and what kind of care will I receive? n What activities do you offer? n What are the rules about coming and going and having visitors and pets? n When would I be able to move in and what happens on move-in day? n What am I allowed to bring?
Who will decide when I have to move out of here? n Would I be happy here? n
What Your Answers Should Be All your answers should be honest ones. If you do not remember an answer, it is fine to write down the question and tell the interviewer that you will get back to him. You should feel at the end of the interview that you were treated well, that you understand the requirements for living in the facility, and what will happen from that day on in regard to the application process. You probably will be asked to sign many papers at the interview. Most of the signatures give the staff the necessary permission to continue the application process.

HOW TO
evaluate nursing care
W
specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance
hile some individuals are able to continue running their households with little assistance, there are those who may have debilitating physical or emotional conditions that require care beyond family or professional home care aides. It is best to start researching such facilities before an emergency arises to avoid making a less ideal choice.
What is Nursing Care? At a nursing home, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other lifechanging event. Who is Nursing Care For? These homes serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home or as temporary facilities during a recovery period. Some enter a nursing home for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness while others enter on a more permanent basis. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private insur-
and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate.
Stays at a nursing facility can be short-term or permanent, but the goal of making life more comfortable is the same.
What to Look For in Nursing Care Before choosing a home, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints. Visit your prospects at different times of day. Talk with residents. Be persistent about getting your questions answered.
ance, and personal assets are all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100% of the cost for days 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20. Some longterm care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services
Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a sad day for most. Reassurance from family and friends that love and contact will be maintained can ease the transition. The following steps may help lessen the trauma of this change: n Talk about the admission in advance and describe the home in detail. n Visit the home with the prospective resident beforehand and get to know the administration. n Involve the prospective resident as much as possible in the decision-making process. n Decide together what items to bring to the nursing home. n Be available the entire day of admission to help settle the resident and provide support.

HOW TO
find help for long-term care issues and needs
T
he word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs, and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to allow you to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help to resolve complaints against specific long-term care providers. Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a longterm care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the com-
munity at large about long-term care issues while simultaneously helping to train the staff of long-term care providers. Using the “Resident’s Bill of Rights” (page 169), an Ombudsman can inform consumers of their rights and long-term care providers of their responsibilities.
vestigation, then a signed waiver of rights to resident confidentiality is required, so that the Ombudsman can review the records and speak to facility staff. The Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He/ she will gather facts and relevant information in order to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem. For these reasons, your local Ombudsman is an important part of the continuum of care available in your community. If you have questions about long-term care providers, a complaint about a specific provider or for more information regarding long-term care issues/needs, please contact your Area Agency on Aging in order to locate an Ombudsman in your community.
What can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address your complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint investigation, and negotiation. Following a thorough investigation, the Ombudsman will work with you and the long-term care provider to help resolve your concern(s). The counseling you receive from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help you to become an advocate for yourself or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to your complaint and then offer information and referrals via the This article was adapted from www. telephone, email, or at an in- person visit fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia Long-Term to a long-term care facility. If the concern requires a formal in- Care Ombudsman Program in detail.

choosing where to live By Suzi Klyber Choosing where to live as you age is not an easy decision. There are so many variables that come into play. As a home care therapist, I often see people in the wrong setting for them. They do not have a clue where they would benefit most from living. Often, the family of the senior automatically assumes that they need to be moved to an assisted living. Gaining an awareness of how to effectively make the right choice is important. How do you choose? What affects your choices? Ability to perform all of our activities of daily living? Cost of active living, assistive living centers versus living in your own home with help? Is your home accessible? If not can it be made accessible with simple changes?
Cost of moving versus making necessary changes that allow you to stay in your own home? Do you have family close by to help with activities of daily living if necessary? Are your county Area on Aging Services available to you at your income level? Do you have the ability to pay someone to perform the activities of daily living we cannot or choose to no longer perform? Do you prefer to stay close to your own doctors, church community, and friends? Are you able to drive or do you need a ride everywhere you go? Do you move closer to your children? Think about this decision in terms of will your adult children stay where they are once they retire. Do you have the money set aside to pay for assisted living and/or a nursing
home? Are you aware of the cost and/or the breakdown of costs? Children of seniors please remember you are simply a consultant to your parents until such a time that they are no longer able to make those decisions themselves. Work with them and if need be, bring in experts to evaluate the level of help they ultimately need (i.e.: senior care managers, social workers from your county, geriatric psychiatrists, occupational therapists that perform the KELS evaluation, Aging-InPlace Contractors). Forcing them into your way of thinking only destroys your relationship with them. Remember to work together as a team. Ask questions and be open and willing to learn what they both desire and need. Suzi Klyber, OTR/L, is a Home Care Therapist for The Medical Team & Consultant for Granting-You-Access.

HOW TO
protect your family’s assets
an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs In 2010, more than 7,000 people turned 65 years old or older every single day, a figure that is predicted to rise in 2011. Further, an AARP survey revealed that only 4 in 10 of those people feel they will be financially secure for their golden years. For many, that lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of assisted living. That’s why Gabriel Heiser, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in nursing home law, believes that people should start planning now, even if they aren’t close to their 65th birthdays. “The average monthly cost of a nursing home today is $6,917 per month, and a typical Alzheimer’s patient will spend $395,000 for their nursing home care after diagnosis,”
said Heiser, author of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (www.MedicaidSecrets.com). “Those costs are only going to rise, so it’s important to plan now. One important benefit to consider is Medicaid, which can help offset a good amount of those costs, but only if you know what it takes to qualify for those benefits.” The mistake a lot of people make is thinking that they can’t qualify for Medicaid, according to Heiser. “Many feel that because they own a home or have some assets that they can’t qualify for Medicaid help with their nursing home and doctor’s bills,” he said. “The truth is there are a variety of assets people can own and still qualify. It’s just a matter of knowing the rules, and making a plan to
meet those requirements.” Heiser listed the asset limits for those applying for Medicaid. They include: • Cash – You can possess $2,000 cash that will not be counted as an asset in determining your Medicaid eligibility. • Home – There is a $500,000 exclusion toward your home, meaning that if your home is valued at $500,000 or less at the time of your application, it is excluded as an asset. Some states use the higher permitted exemption of $750,000. • Car – Up until recently, you could exclude only one car at a value of $4,500 or less, however that law has been changed. Now, one automobile of ANY current market value is excluded on your application. • Funeral and Burial Funds – If you Continued on page 176

have a pre-planned funeral or memorial arrangement, the entire value of that plan is excluded. If you do not, a separate bank account that contains $1,500 toward funeral expenses can be excluded. If you have pre-purchased burial plots, you can exclude not only the costs of the plot for the applicant, but for the entire family, and still be eligible for Medicaid. • Property – According to federal law, any real or personal property that is essential to self-support, regardless of value or rate of return, is excluded. That could
include farms, rental properties and other real estate investments that generate income necessary for self-support. For rental income, however, the property must generate at least 6 percent of its value annually in order to qualify for the exclusion. • Life Insurance – Only the cash value of a life insurance policy owned by the applicant is counted, thus, all term policies are ignored. “There are so many other rules that can benefit those who aren’t sure they’ll have enough when the time comes,” Heiser added. “The key is to plan now and act now. These laws exist for your protection, and avoiding the discussion and the
planning necessary to take care of the potential complications just because it is an unpleasant topic will only result in a more unpleasant conversation when you realize you’re not ready when the worst happens. That can be a very expensive dilemma. Peace of mind right now, however, won’t cost a dime, and could save you hundreds of thousands of dimes later.” K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning, including trusts, estates, gifts, and related tax issues, since graduating from Boston University School of Law in 1983.

things to look for in senior housing In the AARP Magazine article titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Selecting Senior Housing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dimitra Kessnides outlined some suggestions of things to look for in a potential community including the following: Observe residents. Is their hair clean? Is their clothing soiled? What about the staff? Are they stressed, are they surly or curt? Check out the surroundings. Cleanliness is important, so look for uncollected garbage, dust and dirt. (Odors are normal in nursing homes, especially
when hallways are filled with bins of dirty bed linens). Check the bathrooms, look under the beds, etc. Ask to see the menu. Is there variety and nutritional balance? Is the home sensitive to different dietary needs? You can ask for a copy of the menu and later show it to your parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor for feedback. Check on where residents eat breakfast. Is it served in bed on a tray? Superior homes will have residents up and out in the dining room. To view this article, visit http://www.
aarpmagazine.org/lifestyle/Articles/ a2003-01-21-seniorhousing.html.

HOW TO
provide hope & happiness
a caregiver’s perspective
For caregivers, the human capacity for hope is a tremendous blessing. It may be the hope that your loved one will make new friends when they move into a senior living community or that they will respond well to a new treatment for a troubling illness. Hope is said to “spring eternal,” but its source is a recognition of our limitations. It is, in effect, an admission that there are things that impact our loved one’s wellbeing that even the most conscientious caretaker cannot have control over. But don’t let the magnitude of the challenges your loved one faces cause you to undervalue your own ability to make a difference. What you can do for your loved one is so much more important than what you can’t. Although you can’t reverse the march
of time, you can bring a smile to your loved one’s face or provide a moment of satisfaction and peace. Here are some steps you can take that will always improve the quality of your loved one’s life: Give the gift of companionship. A simple conversation can be wonderfully rejuvenating. The topic doesn’t have to be particularly meaningful or significant. What counts is that you take the occasion to convey your true regard and your appreciation for your loved one’s experience and point of view. Serve as their link to the greater world. A human being’s sense of curi-
osity is impressively resilient. When you scan the paper in the morning or listen to the news, mentally tag the items you think will give your loved one pleasure.
When you bring these topics up, you’re implicitly telling them that their interests are important. You’ll also be keeping them involved and giving them a few moments relief from their own concerns. Be a hands-on caregiver. As people grow older, they become physically isolated from other people. The opportunity for a caring human touch becomes rarer and rarer. As a caregiver, you have a great opportunity to restore this loss. There are few gestures more life-affirming than holding your loved one’s hand or giving them a warm, heartfelt hug or shoulder rub. Your capacity for hope and your capacity to act go hand in hand. A good attitude gives you the power to envision a better future, while the actions you take today can enrich the present moment.

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option
S
pecial care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell, and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they’ve had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment.
All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident.
Before choosing a special care unit, you should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit. Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They
may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented, and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety.

B e h av i o r a l H e a lt h
late-onset depression & chronic medical conditions
A
dults with no previous history of depression can develop it late in life due to changes and losses they experience. Lateonset depression often occurs simultaneously with a chronic medical condition, happening for the first time at age 65 or older. Late-onset depression can develop due to physical limitations, decreased independence and the interruption of social networks that accompany a chronic medical condition or the onset of a new medical condition; or the depression can contribute to the development of the medical condition. For example, coronary artery disease is a risk factor for depression; while having depression can put you at risk for developing coronary artery disease. Depression is not a normal part of aging, but it is often not viewed as an actual medical issue. When seniors experience depression and a chronic medical condition together, the depression can aggravate the condition and interfere with successful treatment. The coexistence of major depression with chronic conditions is associated with more physician visits, emergency department visits, days spent in bed because of illness, and functional disability. “Caregivers of seniors who have never previously experienced depression, and especially those who have been diagnosed with a new chronic medical condition, should be alert to the warning signs of depression”, says Connie Duncan, RN, BSN, Behavioral Health Manager with THE MEDICAL TEAM. Medical conditions which cause depression can include
coronary artery disease, chronic lung disease, cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, macular degeneration, sleep disorders, stroke and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. As many as one-third of individuals with a serious medical condition may experience symptoms of depression. For example, major depression occurs in more than half of patients within 6 months following a stroke; 20 percent of patients with Parkinson’s disease will experience a major depressive episode. Older adults can be less inclined to acknowledge depression and may show less obvious symptoms. Many times they accept depression as part of aging when it is not. Signs and symptoms can include: • Persistent sad, anxious or empty feelings • Feelings of hopelessness, guilt or helplessness • Irritability and restlessness • Loss of interest in activities • Fatigue • Difficulty concentrating • Insomnia or excessive sleeping • Overeating or appetite loss • Thoughts of suicide or suicide attempts “Depression is often neglected when the focus is on treating a senior’s chronic medical condition but treating the depression could significantly improve quality of life,” added Duncan. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, only about 10 percent of seniors suffering from depression receive treatment. When untreated, depression leads to poor quality of life, decreased ability to live
independently and an increased burden on caregivers. Studies show that the majority of older adults with depression respond well when they receive treatment, which can include an antidepressant, psychotherapy or both. A Pittsburgh Medical Center study found that 80 percent of seniors treated over a three-year period didn’t suffer recurrent bouts, while only 10 percent of those without treatment avoided relapse. There are treatment programs such as THE MEDICAL TEAM’s Journey Behavioral Health Program which can help patients and their caregivers in the comfort and familiarity of home. These programs provide services and supports tailored to the needs of individuals with a behavioral health diagnosis and can help them better manage their chronic medical conditions and cope with issues that may affect their ability to care for themselves. “Depression shouldn’t be considered an inevitable outcome of chronic medical conditions and aging,” reminded Duncan. If you or a loved one might be suffering from depression, talk with your doctor about treatment options.

patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice.

How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers, or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. NHPCO notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little out-ofpocket expense.” In order to receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certifying that they are choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits. Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. In addition to Medicare’s coverage, hospice services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers.

ammie Vogler’s journey to becoming a volunteer for Evercare Hospice began after several years of reading and preparing for her own mother’s battle with terminal cancer and knowing she would be providing her hospice care. “I am from a very small rural town in Michigan and have always spent time with the elderly,” she said. “My own grandparents reached the ages of 93 and 95, and it is not uncommon to be active in the
community with outreach.” Even while at college, she volunteered to provide night care for an elderly man and his wife. For Tammie, this just seemed natural and always made her happy. Fifteen years ago, after starting a marketing company, she realized her love for people was her true gift and wanted to somehow combine that with her passion for the restaurant and hospitality industry. While being self employed has allowed Tammie the time to balance volunteer work, three children and a marriage, she attributes this to her deep faith in God’s
plans for her. And it was this plan and her volunteer work that brought this former mechanical engineer to Evercare Hospice, where she assists in providing Life Reviews for which patients can share their memorable journey on video as a gift to their families. “Many times the person has looked over the questions in advance…but the surprise and the beauty is the path that those questions lead to other life experiences,” said Tammie. “Usually I define family traditions that they may have not even realized the impact they had on

the family core.” To Tammie, the Life Reviews are a way of looking inside one’s heart and seeing their soul. One of her favorite stories was about a 91-year-old woman’s wedding day. “She shared her secret with me that she would like to be buried in her wedding dress, because how else would her husband who has been deceased for years recognize her,” said Tammie. For the patients’ children, spouses, siblings and other family members, these videos offer valuable memories of time

spent together and shows how important the family history is. The family members that get to review the video have the opportunity to discuss things with them that may have happened years ago and it just allows time to reflect memories of a lifetime. “I also like people nearing the end of life to laugh and to capture that humor as it can become very powerful in the healing process for the family members,” said Tammie. “I recommend a Life Review video to all families…it is a wonderful final gift.”

The following is just one of the many questions answered in HFA’s Ask an Expert section at www.agis.com/community/Ask-The-Experts. Legally, if a person is active under hospice services should there be a physician order for “DNR?” —David
Answer: Patients do not need to have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order signed at the time of their enrollment into hospice. Often, physicians rely on hospice to get a DNR order because they are reluctant to hold the discussion with patients If DNR were a legal GRL themselves. hospice ad Summer 2010_UPDATED.pdf
requirement, referrals to hospice would be postponed and length of hospital stay would be even more dismal. However, hospice staff will work with the family to determine the best time to have a DNR order signed after enrollment. Hospices should make it clear to patients that hospice election means giving up aggressive treatments. But, there is no legal requirement to force this choice 4/12/10 11:13:11 AM
by signing a DNR before admission. In practice, many hospices choose to give patients and families time to adjust to the terminal illness and prognosis. Additional information about advance directives and an emergency profile form are available from Hospice Foundation of America (www.hospicefoundation.org). Also talk to your local hospice, hospital or physician.

My co-workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spouse has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. We are very close and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told them to call if they need anything, but that seems too impersonal. What do I say or what can I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Patricia
Answer: When a friend is coping with a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or her own imminent death, you may not know what to say or how to respond. It is common to feel overwhelmed, self-conscious, or to fear saying the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrongâ&#x20AC;? thing. However, this may prevent you from
giving the love and support that your friend may need. When you feel at a loss, try to follow these few basic principles: ¡ Offer your support: Support can be offered in a tangible way, such as bringing a meal to your friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house or running errands. Support can also be shown by just listening to your friend. ¡ Follow their lead: Your co-worker will sometimes need to talk about his or her experience, and other times
will choose not to. Remember that keeping a sense of normalcy is important; whatever you talked about before is appropriate now. ¡ When in doubt, ask your friend how you can best offer your help and support. ¡ For more information and resources, go to HFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site. ¡ You may try contacting your local hospice and speaking with a hospice bereavement counselor.

HOW TO
cope with a loss
understand your feelings and learn how to begin healing
A
fter a significant death or loss, you may experience feelings that are unfamiliar in their intensity and duration. You may notice thoughts and behavior that are different or disturbing. Many people experience a kind of spiritual crisis following a major loss. Anger is common, whether it’s directed toward a situation, a particular person, or life in general. Grieving people may have unusual dreams, be absent-minded, withdraw socially, or lack the desire to participate in activities that used to be enjoyable. While these feelings and behaviors are normal during grief, they generally change over time. In general, grief makes room for a lot of thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and beliefs that might be considered unusual at other times. Following significant loss, however, most of these components of grief are, in fact, quite normal. One method of dealing with grief is to be more aware of the ways we express it. Even the exact words we use (to ourselves and to others) can make a difference. For example, when we think, “I regret that I was not in the room when he died,” we’re less likely to wallow in the feeling than if
we think, “I feel guilty that I was not in the our ability to cope; some things are simply room when he died.” bigger than we are and require more resources than we have available.

HOW TO
remain at home
receive assistance while enjoying the comforts of home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care can serve a variety of need levels such as companion, home health, skilled nursing or hospice care. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of
Since 1989
22nd Anniversary
the tasks that family members would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of the companion care provider are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available. HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exer-
A
cises, housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders and transportation. SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed by a physician and is administered by a registered nurse. The services provided by skilled nurses include: administering injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more. Finding a Provider After determining the type and amount of services needed along with payment options, consumers should begin interviewing potential providers. This is a highly important decision since finding a qualified, reliable and compassionate individual is essential to the health and happiness of patients and their families.

HOW TO
pay for home care
understanding costs can help with decision making As the desire to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option for many, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments and range from $15-$25 per hour. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicarecertified agency. Prices for home health care also range from $15-$25 per hour. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from
state to state, you will need to contact your local Area Agency on Aging for more information concerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;intermittent skilled care,â&#x20AC;? which includes occupational, respiratory, speech, and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid.

rs. H lives in a beautiful contemporary home in suburban Maryland that she and her husband had chosen for its design and location to friends and family. It was also the ideal home for accommodating their desire to eventually age in place. The two met at a hospital outside of London in WWII when she was an Army nurse and he was a doctor caring for wounded pilots. “We fell in love, and when we returned to the states, we got married,” she says. The couple had three children and proceeded to travel a great deal on overseas assignments. When her husband passed away, there was no question in her mind that she would remain at home. Unfortunately, she fell and broke her hip, but was determined to return home despite needing an extended hospital stay and rehabilitation. While her family backed her decision, they knew she would need additional help. They

then identified the homecare agency CarePlus Home Health, who connected them with caregiver Meri Tegegne. Meri started working with Mrs. H after she received some rehabilitation at home and was able to help Mrs. H continue her exercises to properly recover. Mrs. H has since gone from using a walker to now just using a cane for balance. When asked about her last year being Mrs.
H’s caregiver, Meri says, “I feel blessed. I lost my mother about 10 years ago, so I treat Mrs. H like my mom.” Mrs. H is equally enamored with Meri, “She is a wonderful person, very kind and loving. I can’t say enough things. It’s been a great help to me.” While Meri provides assistance with bathing, meals, laundry, light housekeeping and companionship, the two enjoy spending their time walking around the neighborhood and visiting on Mrs. H’s deck overlooking a beautiful wooded backyard. Not only does Mrs. H’s family feel her needs are being met, but they feel they have the “perfect system,” and Meri is a valuable team member. “On weekends we spend time as a family, and we feel very comfortable knowing that on Monday Meri will be with mom,” says Mrs. H’s daughterin-law. “She is reliable and we know we can count on her and we trust her. Mom will say on Sundays, “I miss Meri- I can’t wait for Meri to come tomorrow.”

Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n
Small valuables
n
Irreplaceable or sentimental items
n
Small family heirlooms

However, no matter where you start in a familiar place, but when daily life can in the process, a professional remodeler become too much to manage, substantial will have to be hired to make the actual home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing common remodeling projects and on how to combat common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS specialist is that they offer a service in drawing from their professional knowledge to help turn your CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to ideas into an organized and thorough prioritize safety and accessibility.
modifications to your home. Some typical modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS professionals are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aestheticallypleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. CAPS was developed by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP in order to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

HOW TO
incorporate safety strategies
a word from the northern virginia fall prevention coalition
T
he odds of a significant fall after age 65 in the United States are about one in three. Fortunately, most of these falls arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grim. Yet, falls are the leading cause of injury and injury-related death among older adults. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the fear of falling overshadow your life. Here are six fall-prevention strategies that can help you avoid a fall event. Begin your fall-prevention plan by making an appointment with your doctor. You and your doctor can take a comprehensive look at your environment, your health and your medications to identify situations when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re vulnerable to falling. Include all the prescription and overthe-counter medications you take, along with the dosages, or bring them with you. Your doctor can review your medications for side effects and interactions that may increase your risk of falling. Additionally, your doctor will want to know about eye and ear disorders that may increase your risk of falls. Be prepared to discuss these when you are walking. Also, explain any bouts of dizziness, joint pain, numbness or shortness of breath that impacts your walking ability.
Inova Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) Home Health is part of Inova Health System. We provide excellent continuity with our patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; physicians and support patient independence through self-management education. Our re-hospitalization rate is very low. Our employees average 12 years of service with us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ensuring an experienced team, consistency of care, and dedication to our patients.
InovaVNA.indd 1
If you are inactive, consider starting a general exercise program. Consider activities such as walking, water workouts, tai chi or chi qong, uses breathing along with gentle movement. Activities reduce your risk of falls by improving your strength, balance, coordination and flexibility. Get your doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval prior to beginning an exercise program. Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall-prevention plan. Stacked heels, floppy slippers and shoes with slick soles can impair a solid step, even walking in your stocking feet. Have your feet measured each time you buy shoes, your size can change with weight or medication intake. And, select lace-up shoes instead of slip-ons. Scrutinize your living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, hallways and stairways may be filled with land mines waiting to trip you up. Clutter can get in your way, but so can the decorative accents you add to your home. Remove boxes, newspapers, electrical cords and phone cords from walkways. Secure loose rugs with double-faced tape, tacks or a slip-resistant backing. Store clothing, dishes, food and other household necessities within easy reach
and use nonslip mats in your bathtub or shower. As we age, a reduced amount of light reaches the back of your eye where color and motion are sensed. Keep your home brightly illuminated with 100-watt bulbs or higher to avoid tripping on objects. Install a lamp near your bed so you can use it when you get up at night. And, place night lights in your bedroom, bathroom, hallways or any foot traffic area. Use assistive devices when you need them. Your doctor might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady. Consider using grab bars mounted inside and just outside your shower or bathtub. Install raised toilets or ones with armrests to stabilize your stance. Last, install a sturdy plastic seat in your shower or tub so that you can sit down when necessary. Falls are not an inevitable part of aging. Falls are preventable!

finding and evaluating an aging-in-place specialist Compare how much money you have to spend on a project and compare it to the cost of moving for a financial perspective. To find CAPS, seek referrals from others who may have had similar work done. Before you commit to a remodeler, verify with your local state office of consumer protection and Better Business Bureau that he/she has the appropriate license(s) in your state. Ask for a written estimate of the work your remodeler
will perform based on your own specifications. Be firm, but prepared to pay the total amount in full. Finally, select a professional with plenty of experience with your type of project. Remember, the lowest price does not always ensure a successful modeling project and home improvement is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

REVIEW MEDICATIONS The medications you takeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and even the foods you eatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;can affect your balance. Check with your doctor or pharmacist annually to review your medications and diet plan.
BATHROOM SAFETY Install grab bars in your bathtub or shower stall and near a toilet. Never use towel racks for balanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they can easily come loose, causing a fall.
Used with permission from The Home Safety Council
Making A SAFER HOME for Seniors NON-SKID RUGS Remove throw rugs, or use rubber backing or apply double-faced adhesive carpet tape to the backs of all area rugs and runners to prevent slipping, or remove them.
HANDRAILS Install handrails on both sides of all stairwaysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;making sure they extend the full length of the stairway. Also make sure you have lights at the top and bottom of the stairs. FOOTWEAR Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to wear thin, non-slip soled shoes, not thick-soled jogging shoes.
EXERCISE DAILY Using your muscles helps maintain balance, strength, and flexibility. Try Tai Chi, walking, water aerobics, or dancing.

Area Demonstration Projects Showcase Universal Design Many times it is difficult to fully understand and appreciate the function, utility and beauty of Universal Design. Words and pictures cannot replace visiting a home and discovering the benefits of design first-hand. However, it can be challenging to schedule visits to a home that is occupied by a resident. Demonstration projects present an opportunity for interested consumers to experience first-hand the features and benefits of Universal Design to help implement these concepts into their own space. Innovative Model of Living at Vinson Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mclean, VA
One of the most unique approaches to a demonstration project has been created at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, VA. Residents of the community worked closely with management and award-winning design expert Moira Leite to create the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;apartment of the future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This model apartment is beautiful and accessible but, through intentional design, assists in prolonging the independence and enhancing the quality of life of the residents. The apartment incorporates features and products that enhance utility, mobility and safety within
the space. It serves as a model apartment for future residents, a prototype for the renovation of existing residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; apartments and an opportunity for the public to discover improvements they can make to their private residences. Kathy Martin, CEO of Vinson Hall and a retired Navy rear admiral, shares. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is exciting for us, as well as the community at large. We have an opportunity to enhance living here for our seniors. I believe we have an opportunity to be a model for the community and to partner in outreach.â&#x20AC;?

AARP has joined forces with the District of Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office on Aging; renowned designer and architect Michael Graves; Christian Communities Group Homes (CCGH), a service of Episcopal Senior Ministries; Rebuilding Together and other innovative and visionary collaborators to transform a vacant house into a model universal design home. The finished house will be home to six lowincome seniors and will serve as a model for others in the U.S. and around the world who want to create living spaces that let seniors age in place.

Understanding Home Health Care Benefits When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves in a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home heath care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products above that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered extends to personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing along with homemaker services like cleaning and laundry. Also not included are home-delivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care. For more information on Medicare coverage, visit medicare.gov. Information Provided by Family & Nursing Care/Legacy Home Care and adapted from medicare.gov.

The following are just a few of the general questions the U.S. Social Security Administration answers regarding Social Security and Medicare. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov Question: When a Social Security beneficiary dies, does the funeral home notify Social Security or is the death notification up to the family?
Answer: Many funeral directors voluntarily provide death information directly to Social Security. But, family members of a deceased individual still should notify Social Security. For information on what action to take when a beneficiary dies, see our online publication, What To Do When A Beneficiary Dies, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/deathbenefits.htm
Question: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard you can apply for retirement benefits online. But isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it easier just to go into an office?
Answer: Filing online means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to travel to a local Social Security office or wait for an appointment with a Social Security representative. Retiring online is easy and convenient. You can apply in as little as 15 minutes. In most cases, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no papers to sign or mail in. Want to learn more? Visit www.socialsecurity.gov and click on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retirementâ&#x20AC;? tab in the top, left corner. Our website will: â&#x20AC;˘ Walk you through the application process; â&#x20AC;˘ Tell you what information youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to answer the questions on the application; and â&#x20AC;˘ Describe the documents you may need to present after you apply.

The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 created the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a national network of agencies that promote and protect the health and well-being of older adults. Amendments to the OAA provided grants to Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), giving them the resources to identify local needs and plan and fund local programs. The Department of Health & Human Services describes this comprehensive network as the National Aging Network. The key components of this network serving

HOW TO
fill the gaps in medicare
choosing the right plan and provider for you n By Susan Morisato
M
edicare is a vital part of a health insurance portfolio for millions of Americans. However, beneficiaries must still find ways to pay for the things Medicare doesn’t cover, such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance charges. Medicare supplement insurance can help fill these gaps. Selecting a Plan First, identify your needs, and then identify a Medicare supplement plan that will meet them. Consider which of Medicare’s deductibles and coinsurance charges are most important for you to cover. In most states, Medicare enrollees may select from any one of 12 standardized Medicare supplement plans approved for sale within their state of residence. Plans start with a basic benefits plan, Plan A, which provide coverage for Part A and Part B coinsurance and continue up through the comprehensive Plan J, which provides supplemental coverage for nearly all of Medicare’s gaps. After you’ve identified a plan or two that appears to meet your coverage needs, then it’s time to select an insurance provider. Choosing a Medicare Supplement Insurance Provider It is important to investigate the plan

HOW TO
utilize social security’s retirement estimator
a convenient and quick financial planning tool n By Mike Weakland You’ve probably heard that it’s the 75th anniversary of Social Security. However, there is another important birthday going on. Social Security’s online Retirement Estimator is now celebrating its second anniversary. The Retirement Estimator stands as the most popular online service in both the public and private sector — a position it shares with another popular service, Social Security’s Benefit Application. That’s according to the most recent annual American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), which came out earlier this year. In an index ranking online services, Social Security’s Retirement Estimator and Benefit Application take the top spots, each with a score of 90. What’s the highest ranking service in the private sector? It’s Netflix, with a score of 87, tying with Social Securi-
ty’s Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs application. The online Retirement Estimator is a convenient, secure, and quick financial planning tool that lets you calculate how much you might expect to receive in Social Security benefits when retirement rolls around. The tool uses your actual earnings information on file at Social Security, without displaying your personal information. So you get an instant estimate of your future retirement benefits. The Retirement Estimator even lets you run personalized scenarios and “what if” situations. For example, you can change the date you expect to retire or change expected future earnings to create and compare different retirement options. This can help you as you plan ahead. And, it’s so easy to use.
To use the Retirement Estimator, you must have enough Social Security credits to qualify for benefits and you must not already be receiving monthly benefits. We may take a few moments to celebrate this birthday, but we’re not resting on our laurels just yet. Later this year Social Security plans to introduce a Spanish-language version of the Retirement Estimator. High customer service scores are a great birthday present for the two-year-old Retirement Estimator. Come join the celebration and get an instant, personalized estimate of your future Social Security benefits. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. Mike Weakland is the Social Security Area Director in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.

y mother needs help but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reluctant to let anyone come in. How do I hire the right person? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Isabelle in Montana, 46 Once you reach the decision to hire someone else to help with your elder care challenges, you need to determine the answers to the following questions: â&#x20AC;˘ Who is going to pay for the help (you/ your elder/insurance)? â&#x20AC;˘ Does the helper take insurance as a form of payment? If so, what insurance? â&#x20AC;˘ Should you hire a therapist, and if so, what type(s)? â&#x20AC;˘ Does your elder need an aide of companion to live in the home 24/7? â&#x20AC;˘ Who pours and dispenses your elderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medication?
Aides should be hired only to take care of your elder and perform the agreed upon chores directly related to that care. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t load them up with extraneous duties, even if you see theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re highly competent, unless of course the aide agrees to it. Then, they should be duly compensated for additional tasks. Also, and this is very important, take the time to make a match. Have the potential helper spend some time with your elder before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hired. Hiring an aide really comes down to a matter of time and financial resources. If you and your elder have the financial resources to free up some of your time, I highly recommend hiring help. Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for just 10 hours a week, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be

HOW TO
become a representative payee
a way to help your loved ones n By Diana Varela, Social Security Administration If a loved one, friend or neighbor receives Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits but is no longer physically or mentally able to take care of his or her financial affairs, you may want to consider becoming a representative payee. Then, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to help them with managing their money. Keep in mind that being a representative payee is not the same as having power of attorney. Even if you do have power of attorney, you will need to apply to be a representative payee in order to have the benefit payments made to you on the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf.

payee. This means that if you agree to be a representative payee and we appoint you, we pay you the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefits to use on his or her behalf. As a representative payee, you would be responsible for using the benefit payments to help meet the basic needs of the beneficiary. Primarily, the funds should be used to provide food, clothing, shelter, utilities and other essential needs for the person eligible for benefits. As a representative payee, you need to be aware of the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs so you can decide how benefits can best be used. Each year, Social Security will mail you a form to account for the benefits you have received. The quickest and easiest way to complete the form is online, at www.socialsecurity.gov/payee. You can also complete the paper form and return 1:48 PM

This includes things like changes in living arrangements, other income, and resources. More than seven million people who get monthly Social Security or SSI payments each month have a representative payee because they need help managing their money.

the neighborhood you dream about
the village movement is prompting communities to think about creative solutions for aging in place. Imagine you are living in a community where you know your neighbors. Imagine that your patio needs weeding, and you prefer not to do it. In this neighborhood, a simple phone call can have someone over to take care of your weeding. Perhaps you need some home repairs, or you are returning home from the hospital after surgery and need some assistance. In this neighborhood, you can get assistance from trusted volunteers and providers with one phone call. This type of neighborhood is becoming a reality, and the Washington, D.C. region is the launching pad for several.

The challenge these individuals face, however, is that if they do nothing to prepare for future needs, they may not be able to continue living in their homes as long as they would like. Residents of Beacon Hill, a downtown Boston neighborhood, responded to the challenge of staying in their community by joining their neighbors to take control over where and how they will live in the years to come. They formed a non-profit, Beacon Hill Village, which serves those aged 50+ in central Boston, to take advantage of social, cultural and wellness activities without leaving their How it all Started homes. The various services provided Nearly 90 percent of Baby Boom- are designed to respond to the members’ ers say they want to stay in their homes specific needs and wants which include and close to family and friends as long concierge services, comprehensive home
care, home repair, house cleaning, grocery shopping, transportation and other services. Where it is going In 2007, Beacon Hill Village sponsored a workshop which community leaders from 27 states attended. The Village to Village Network has been formed to offer leaders the opportunity to share resources and connect. There are now dozens of groups at various stages of development in the Washington metro region and they have formed a group, Washington Area Villages (WAV), that meets regularly.

Consequently, no two programs will be exactly the same. According to Vice President of the Palisades Village Group, Alicia Juarrero, the interest stems from the bottom-up effort of these communities. “One thing we believe in is that before doing anything else, organizers must query eligible neighborhood residents on exactly what services they want and need,” she said.

avis Hooper is a Vietnam veteran residing at Victory Forest in Silver Spring for the past four years. One of the interests that generated by his time in the Navy is the weather. During his four years in the military, Dave worked as a weather observer. For periods of six to seven weeks he was out at sea on an aircraft carrier where he helped to land and launch planes on the deck, an incredibly difficult job in good weather and next to impossible in foul weather. Dave’s critical job was to track the weather and relay information about current conditions to the pilots. “The Navy sent me for about six months of specialized full-time study,” he commented. “I haven’t stayed in touch with anyone I served with in Vietnam but I am Facebook friends with all the local forecasters and have made lots of other internet friends.” These connections are particularly
When Dave Hooper found transporting himself and shopping more difficult, he was happy to find a service that would deliver his groceries.
important to Dave because of health problems that forced him to start using a wheelchair. “I used to get out and around with a walker but now find that I need a wheelchair.” It was this shift that prompted Dave to look for a new way to get groceries. “When I used the walker I could still take the Victory Forest bus up to the grocery store.” he said. With the wheelchair, Dave said he found
transportation and shopping much more difficult. He also did not have a computer at the time for ordering groceries online. “I remembered seeing an article in Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, when I was looking for senior housing, about a nonprofit grocery program that took grocery orders by phone. That service was Top Banana Home Delivered Groceries.” “Now, I’m pretty much a regular. They carry just about everything I want. If I needed it, which luckily I don’t, the drivers would even be happy to put the groceries away. They’ve always been great,” said Dave. “Occasionally they help with something small around the apartment. And Mavis and Marise, who take my orders, have been super.” Dave gets his prescriptions and other items delivered by Kensington Pharmacy, and most Fridays, when Top Banana delivers in Montgomery County, he looks forward to seeing the drivers and getting his brown bags of groceries.

HOW TO
find daytime supervision
centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers
A
dult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis.
flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accesChoosing a Provider sibility for persons in wheelchairs or using Information on local Adult Day Cen- walkers.

ity, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother.
