Are You Taking Advantage of the VA Benefits You Have Earned?
By Vicki Wilson
Reserve University School of Medicine. Staff training programs at Wade Park integrate fully with University Hospitals. Wade Park provides full service primary and specialty patient care, extended care and rehabilitation, as well as education, research and development programs. The Spinal Cord Injury Center at Wade Park serves veterans in Ohio, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, southern Michigan, and western New York with spinal cord injuries or disabilities. I find the campus to be safe, friendly, convenient to navigate and beautifully decorated. The patient rooms are spacious. I have toured the therapy and rehabilitation departments and observed the state-of-the-art equipment available at this site. Other than exceptional health care and medication prescriptions, what could you be eligible for? A VA pension is a benefit paid to wartime veterans with limited income and who are permanently and totaled disabled OR age 65 or older. You, the veteran, may be eligible if you meet certain criteria. The aid and attendance benefit allows for wartime veterans, as well as their surviving spouses, requiring the regular assistance of another person in eating, bathing, dressing, taking medication, etc., to receive additional monetary benefits. Care in an assisted living facility of your choice qualifies under this pension benefit. The monies received may be used to pay for the assisted living facility’s monthly fee. There is a death pension paid to eligible dependents of deceased wartime veterans.
As many of you know, I advocate gathering information regarding longterm care or short-term rehab well in advance of requiring those services. We never know what tomorrow will bring us. Oftentimes, we are required to make decisions regarding these healthcare options in a hurry. Do you know what you would do, what options and facilities you would choose? Is your family aware of your wishes in case they have to make the decision for you? I meet with seniors every day to ensure they have the facts to make an informed decision should these needs arise. I’m always happy to share the information that I have learned through the years and direct them to agencies or other healthcare facilities that can best assist them. I have discovered that many veterans in our area, as well as their spouses, are not taking advantage of all that the Veterans’ Administration has to offer them. The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, which at this time includes the Brecksville and Wade Park campuses, serves veterans in northeastern Ohio. There are also 13 community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) where a number of services are locally available. The Wade Park campus in Cleveland has undergone extensive renovation in recent years and is currently in the throes of a construction project. This campus is a teaching hospital of the Case Western
You, as the dependent, must also meet certain criteria, including a countable income below a yearly income limit set by law. Briar Hill Health Care Residence, as well as a few select other facilities here in Geauga County, have a contract with the Veterans’ Administration for long-term care for eligible veterans. The veteran may reside right here for long-term nursing home care in our county and not be separated from friends and family. Again, you must meet certain VA criteria, including being at least 70 percent service connected. The Geauga County Veterans Service Officers at the Veteran’s Service Commission in Chardon is an invaluable resource for the veterans in Geauga County. The office is located at 470 Center St., Building No. 8A, and an appointment is required. I have met with the officers on several occasions and find them true advocates for the veteran. For more information on benefits you may be eligible for, you may also call the VA toll-free line at 1-800-827-1000 or visit their website at www.va.gov. Go to Apply Online and click Compensation & Pension. Please feel free to call me, and I’d be happy to direct you to the proper source for your information. My contacts in the social service department at the VA are always available to assist us in determining your eligibility for long-term care. Vicki Wilson is the director of admissions/ marketing at Briar Hill Health Care Residence, 15950 Pierce St., P.O. Box 277, Middlefield. Call her at 440-632-5241.

The AARP Automobile Insurance Program from The Hartford is underwritten by Hart ford Fire Insurance Company and its affiliates, One Hartford Plaza, Hartford CT 06155. In Washington, the Program is underwritten by Trumbull Insurance Company. AARP membership is required for Program eligibility in most states. This Program is provided by The Hartford, not AARP or its affiliates. The Hartford pays a royalty fee to AARP for the use of AARP’s intellectual property. These fees are used for the general purposes of AARP. Applicants are individually underwritten and some may not qualify. Specific features, credits and discounts may vary and may not be available in all states in accordance with state filings and applicable law. The premiums quoted by an authorized agent for an AARP program policy include the costs associated with the advice and counsel that your local agent provides. ‡ Some benefits, including First Accident Forgiveness and the Disappearing Deductible, are only available with the optional Advantage Plus package. A policy without these benefits is also available [Call for details.] To qualify for these two benefits, all drivers on the policy must have a clean record (no accidents or violations) for five consecutive years in most states. For the Disappearing Deductible, these five years must include a period of three consecutive years as a policyholder in the AARP Auto Insurance Program (commencing after the effective date of the policy issued through this offer). PA drivers are not eligible for the complete disappearance of the deductible, although it will be reduced to a minimum of $100. The First Accident Forgiveness benefit is not available in Delaware. † If you are age 50 or older, once you’re insured through this Program for at least 60 days, you cannot be refused renewal as long as applicable premiums are paid with due. Also, you and other customary drivers of your vehicles must retain valid licenses, remain physically and mentally capable of operating an automobile, have no convictions for driving while intoxicated and must not have obtained your policy through material misrepresentation. 107292 Rev ‡

Pleasant Hill Home Fills Assisted-Living Gap The Geauga County Pleasant Hill Home on Aquilla Road in Chardon has provided residential assisted care since 1840 to Geauga County residents who need but canít afford such help at other assisted living facilities. Low personal income does not necessarily prevent someone from being accepted to live at Pleasant Hill Home, as rates are based on oneís ability to pay. Pleasant Hill houses Geauga County residents who receive, have applied for, or qualify to receive a form of Social Security/Disability or similar services. Residents need to be able to walk about; it is fine if they need to use a walker or a cane. Residents must also be able to provide for their own personal care with minimal assistance and not require nursing-home levels of care, and must be able to complete and return all needed forms and meet all requirements within 30 days of admission.
A trial admission to assess an individualís present level of functioning and ability to successfully live at Pleasant Hill is part of the deal. This protects the interests of both the resident and the facility, which must manage its meager resources as efficiently as possible. Funding for Pleasant Hill home comes from tax dollars through the Geauga County Board of Commissioners, as well as from monthly resident room and board fees. Tax dollar funding is not required by the Ohio Revised Code, according to director, Karen DeCola, but is provided to the best of their ability by the county commissioners. The building Pleasant Hill currently calls home was built in 1855. It houses 31 residents now but has the capacity for 37, says Karen, the director. Other staff includes a Registered Nurse (RN), resident care attendants, and a cook. Consider Pleasant Hill for shortterm respite care, too. Its rural setting
gives clients the freedom to spend time outdoors on the homeís spacious farm, and even help grow their own vegetables if they want to. Thereís a casual, familylike atmosphere with voluntary religious services. Residents have easy access to the county senior center, University Hospital Geauga Medical Center, and county social service agencies. Laundry care and quick access to Geauga Transit services are included. Every resident gets a furnished private bedroom with shared dormitory-style bathrooms. The RN helps residents coordinate medical evaluations and appointments with their families and established medical providers. For admissions and general information, call Karen DeCola, 440-2792161. To volunteer or donate, call Barb Warren, residential care coordinator, at 440-227-2162. Pleasant Hill Home is at 13211 Aquilla Rd., Chardon (44024).
