Adult Day Centers provide a coordinated program of professional and compassionate services for adults in a community-based group setting. Services are designed to provide social and some health services to adults who need supervised care in a safe place outside the home during the day. They also afford caregivers respite from the demanding responsibilities of caregiving. Adult day care facilities for the elderly are licensed and inspected by the Department of Aging. Costs for Adult Day Centers range from $55/day to $90/day on average in Pennsylvania. The costs are paid for with private funds or may be partially/fully covered by long-term care insurance, Veterans Assistance, or Medicaid through the Aging Waiver Program.

Personal Care

Non-medical home care includes a wide variety of companionship, home helper and personal care services that help individuals with living activities as well as ensure a safe environment. All non-medical home care companies are licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Payment for services is often made by the client as traditional medical insurance does not cover non-medical home care. For those who qualify, non-medical home care may be paid for partially or fully through Medicaid (via the County’s Aging Waiver Program), Veterans Assistance and long-term care insurance. The average cost of non-medical home care services can range from $18 - $28 per hour depending on one’s needs.

Aging in Place Hospice Hospice is comfort care given to persons who are terminally ill. The care emphasizes pain control, caregiver needs, emotional, and spiritual needs. The care does not include a cure to treat terminal disease. This is a Medicare benefit and is comprised of formal and informal care that can be provided in one’s home, a hospital, nursing home or freestanding hospice center.

Private

Independent Living is designed for individuals who can live independently. Some are affiliated with health care facilities that provide additional support, if needed.

Ombudsman provides assistance in investigating and resolving complaints brought by, or on behalf of, longterm care consumers such as residents of nursing homes, personal care, assisted living facilities and recipients of home health care. Contact 1-800-677-1116 or Eldercare. gov for your local ombudsman.

Personal Care Homes are Pennsylvania State licensed facilities that offer semi-private and/or private rooms to those who need assistance with living activities but do not require skilled nursing care. The levels of assistance varies among the communities.

Respite Care is short-term care and relief to enable those caring for a loved one in their homes to have a break for rest and relaxation or time away to do errands. Personal care homes typically offer respite care as a short term (several days) admission to the facility.

Semi-private

communities that offer varying levels of on-site care to residents; from assistance with daily living activities to nursing services. The costs for personal care homes can range. The average cost per month for a semi-private room is between $1,500 and $4,000, and a private room costs between $2,500 and $6,5000. The costs are typically funded by the residents but may be funded by Veterans Assistance and long-term care insurance. Below are some commonly used terms.

Alzheimer’s, Dementia or Memory Care is a service offered by some personal care homes to manage the needs of those with memory impairment. Levels of care vary and may include staff training, special programming and secured areas.

Assisted Living is a term for personal care facilities that meet specific Pennsylvania State licensing criteria.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities offer a comprehensive, lifetime range of care from independent living to skilled nursing care. Costs and levels of care vary widely.

Caring for the Caregiver Have you ever been on a plane and heard the flight attendant’s presentation about using the oxygen masks in case of an emergency? The first rule is to put on your own oxygen mask before you help anyone else. You cannot help anyone if you cannot breathe. The same fact holds true for caregivers; you cannot help those around you if you are not healthy yourself.

Care for Yourself First Believe it or not this is a common problem. Despite our best intentions to assist and support a loved one, we can get run down ourselves. Many who are actively providing caregiving report: • Sleep deprivation

needs first?

• Is it frightening to think of your own needs? What is the fear about?

• Do you have trouble asking for what you need?

Do you feel inadequate if you ask for help?

• Do you feel you have to prove that you are worthy of the care recipient’s affection? Do you do too much as a result?

Take time to think through and identify your personal barriers and create a plan to address the issues.

Seek the council of others to help you clarify your thoughts. Once the fear or negative self-talk is addressed, then put a plan in place.

Tips for Good Self-Care

• Poor eating habits • Failure to exercise • Failure to appropriately identify or address their own health issues In addition, family caregivers are also at increased risk for depression and excessive use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Caregiving can be an emotional roller coaster.

• Learn and use stress-reduction techniques, e.g. meditation, prayer, yoga, Tai Chi. • Attend to your own healthcare needs.

• Get proper rest and nutrition.

• Exercise regularly, even if only for 10 minutes at a time.

• Take time off without feeling guilty.

Caregivers are more likely to have a chronic illness than are non-caregivers, namely high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a tendency to be overweight.

• Participate in pleasant, nurturing activities, such as reading a good book, taking a warm bath.

Identify Personal Barriers

• Seek supportive counseling when you need it, or talk to a trusted counselor, friend, or pastor.

Many times, attitudes and beliefs form personal barriers that stand in the way of caring for yourself.

Not taking care of yourself may be a lifelong pattern.

However, as a family caregiver you must ask yourself: “What good will I be to the person I care for if I become ill? If I die?” Breaking old patterns and overcoming obstacles is not an easy proposition, but it can be done—regardless of your age or situation.

The first task in removing personal barriers to selfcare is to identify what is in your way. For example: • Do you think you are being selfish if you put your

Lifestyles over 50

•

• Seek and accept the support of others.

• Identify and acknowledge your feelings, you have a right to ALL of them.

• Change the negative ways you view situations.

• Set goals.

A caregiver is most effective when working with others so reach out to the businesses and organizations in this publication. If they cannot be of help to you they will be able to point you in the right direction!
