Positive Aging in the

Age of Coronavirus

Overcoming challenges and embracing change

By Christy Brudin

OVID-19 changed everything. The impact on the senior living industry has been profound, and it will be felt for decades—if not forever. While trying to protect a vulnerable population, the industry has had to navigate changing regulations and expectations, staffing and equipment shortages, and negative media coverage. There is no denying that this crisis highlighted areas where the industry can—and should—be improved. However, it is also important to celebrate the many successes derived from duress—from a smile or a laugh broadcast through cyberspace to a connection fortified during socially distant activities. Senior living employees at every level have worked tirelessly to keep a generation safe—and to generate happiness in the midst of a crisis.

COVID-19 hit the senior living industry hard. Professionals at every level of the industry have fought back—working tirelessly to protect a vulnerable population.

Positive Aging in the

Age of Coronavirus

s we take the first steps toward a new normal, Positive Aging Sourcebook wants to take this opportunity to celebrate the senior living industry. While the crisis is not yet over, this industry has already overcome many challenges. There is a way to age positively in the age of coronavirus. Let’s find it together.

AGE OF CORONAVIRUS

COVID-19

IMPRESSIVE RESPONSE Locking Down Senior living communities throughout the country began shutting down as COVID-19 started spreading through their communities. Communities: Increased sanitation and disinfection.

Stopped all visitors. Eliminated group activities.

Created barriers and designated separate COVID care units.

Increased hand hygiene for staff and residents. egan using personal B protective equipment for staff and facemasks for residents.

Communicated with residents, families, local authorities and staff. Worked to keep residents connected and mentally healthy during a crisis.

Isolated symptomatic residents and sent symptomatic staff home.

Digital Connections enior living communities have quickly adopted digital S technologies in the face of the pandemic. An industry that had previously been slow to use technology, realized the need and seized the opportunity. Residents are using Facetime, Skype, Zoom and other platforms to keep in touch with family and friends. Activity staff members dedicate time and resources to helping residents stay connected.

Testing I n addition to the other infection prevention and control measures they are taking, senior living communities are also performing COVID-19 testing. Many communities performed wholesale testing of all residents and staff. Others are testing symptomatic patients only unless there is a confirmed case in the building. All are working to improve testing availability and capacity.

Reporting Requirements

Telehealth uring COVID-19, Medicare D expanded access to telehealth services. This includes common office visits, mental health counseling, and preventive screenings.

88%

of nursing homes certified by Medicare and Medicaid had reported required data to the CDC as of May 31, 2020. That includes about 13,600 nursing homes out of the approximately 15,400 homes in the U.S.*

CMS is requiring nursing homes to report COVID-19 facility data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and to residents, their representatives, and families of residents in facilities. The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) system is available for facilities to report data.

NHSN requires information on:

Resident Impact acility Capacity F Staff & Personnel Supplies & Personal Protective Equipment Ventilator Capacity

*This data may be subject to fluctuations as facilities submit information on the NHSN website.

FEATURE STORY

FIGHTING AGEISM

Positive Aging v. Ageism Our society is aging. The United States is in the midst of a significant demographic shift. Unfortunately, the occurrence of ageism is growing just as rapidly as the older adult population. According to the World Health Organization, “Ageism is the stereotyping and discrimination against individuals or groups on the basis of their age.”

Understanding Ageism Ageism is based on the belief that “old” equals “less”—less active, less important, less engaged, less everything. Accordingly, using a senior center, moving to a senior living community, or working with a service for older adults would mean admitting that you are “old” or “less.” This toxic belief system prevents many people from seeking out options that could enhance their lives. In fact, senior living communities and services offer added convenience and an enhanced sense of purpose. They offer more—not less. Addressing Ageism It is time to address ageism head on. This is a form of discrimination, and it is not acceptable. If we accept aging as a natural— and welcome—part of the lifespan, then we can celebrate all the positive aspects of growing older. We won’t look as elders as “others” but as ourselves. After all, we all strive to be older one day. Older adults should

Seeing Ageism During a recent ProAging digital discussion, Wes Morrison, a volunteer with AARP and other senior-serving organizations, recounted how ageism impacted his health. After getting new glasses, he found that he couldn’t see clearly out of the reading area. After confirming that the prescription was too strong for his eyes, Wes’s ophthalmologist

Recognizing Ageism Ageism hides in plain sight. It is often disguised as harmless comments, or it may even be phrased as a compliment. However, comments and behaviors that are based on stereotypes of older people or that perpetuate discrimination because of age are ageist. Some examples: “She looks good for HER AGE.” “My Dad is 85 and STILL exercises daily.” “She dresses TOO YOUNG.” “He is TOO OLD for this job.” “I’m not old like OTHER people my age.” “We don’t want to be a restaurant for OLD FOLKS.” “I don’t NEED HELP. I’m not old.” “I’ll never MOVE to a senior living community. I’m not old.” “People YOUR AGE shouldn’t _________________ ”

serve as an inspiration for what and who we want to become. One of the simplest methods for addressing ageism is to not allow it or perpetuate it. Don’t make agerelated comments on appearances or behaviors. Don’t ever assume that explained, “Our interns and residents feel that if you are 60 and over you should have a stronger prescription than what the machine indicates.” These medical professionals ignored the results of a medical test and ordered a stronger prescription based on an age-related assumption. Wes couldn’t see out of his glasses, but

anyone is “too old” for anything. There is no specific way that older adults should look, act or behave. Positive Aging Sourcebook is committed to engaging our community in a dialogue that will help reduce the Continued on page 111

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

FEATURE STORY

Many forward-thinking senior living providers are acknowledging the diversity of their staff and clients and working to make sure everyone is cared for and respected.

Inclusive Senior Living The generation that fought for the rights of people of color and lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals is aging. While the world has undoubtedly become more inclusive since their youth, there is still work to be done. To serve all older adults, senior living communities and service providers need to be cognizant of and dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion. Increasingly, senior living providers are acknowledging the diversity of their staff and clients. These forward thinking providers are working to make sure that everyone is comfortable and respected. Our seniors and senior living providers— all of them—deserve no less. Positive Aging Sourcebook is dedicated to helping senior living providers promote diversity and inclusion. We have held numerous digital discussions on equity, inclusion and diversity in senior living to advance acceptance and expand understanding. View past conversations or join future discussions at retirementlivingsourcebook.com/ digital-discussions. LGBTQ Seniors Many of the LGBTQ seniors who are seeking senior living services today are the same individuals who struggled to come out to friends, 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

families, and employers for decades because of fear of discrimination. Now, as they face retirement living decisions, they are again fearful that their lifestyle will lead to discrimination or the outright refusal of services. Unlike other seniors, LGBTQ older adults are less likely to have children to help them in their later years. They may also be estranged from their families. This demographic is far more likely to rely solely on a partner or close friend for their care as they age. In 2010, a groundbreaking documentary film addressed the dilemmas of LGBTQ seniors. Gen Silent profiles six LGBTQ seniors in the Boston area. Many of them are struggling with the decision to hide their sexuality to survive the long-term health care system. Unfortunately, the seniors profiled in Gen Silent are not isolated examples. A 2018 analysis by University of Washington professor Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen concluded that unique prevention and intervention strategies needed to be developed to address the needs of queer seniors. The study noted that the number of LGBTQ seniors is expected to double to more than four million by 2030. During a recent Positive Aging digital discussion, Jennifer Marie Brown, the community relations

To serve all older adults, senior living communities and service providers need to be cognizant of and dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion. manager at Seabury Resources for Aging, explained the historical context that drives distrust among LGBTQ seniors. “During McCarthyism, people lost their jobs, people were hounded out of a lot of federal government positions here in the DMV, because they were gay and lesbians. And it made them even more closeted, more guarded, more suspect of being out or public about who they were,” she said. Brown continued, “As we provide services for 80-year-olds, 85-yearolds, they are very leery of the consequences of being out in a retirement community or with home health care providers. They lived a life in which it was not okay to be queer in the workplace, was not okay to be queer in a house of worship, was not okay to be queer in the PTA, was not Continued on page 18

okay to be queer anywhere.” Brown encouraged local senior care providers to seek out training and enrichment opportunities to better serve LGBTQ seniors. Some communities, including Seabury and Iona, have custom programs to serve this population. Additionally, SAGECare is an independent organization that provides training and consultation on LGBTQ aging issues to service providers. Racism in Senior Living When thinking of senior living challenges, most people focus on eliminating ageism. However, racism is a significant issue in senior living— just as it is throughout our society. Equity, inclusion and diversity are important topics that senior living providers must confront directly. Historically, people of color have underutilized senior living services. Many senior living communities have completely homogenous populations—often all white. For senior living service providers, systemic racism and its corresponding economic disparities may prevent people of color from accessing services. There are also cultural barriers to access. Even for hospice services, which are primarily covered by Medicare and Medicaid, a recent study of utilization by race revealed that 83 percent of hospice patients in the United States are Caucasians, while African Americans represent only 8 percent, followed by Hispanics at 6.4 percent, Asians at 2 percent and Native Americans at .05 percent. People of color do not use senior living services like they could— or should. Hiring Practices Beyond utilization, one of the biggest challenges facing senior living providers seeking to promote diversity and inclusion is diversity in hiring. In senior living communities and home care agencies, frontline caregivers are disproportionately people of color, while clients are disproportionately white.

Companies that are not already doing so need to actively recruit and promote people of color. Frontline caregivers should be made aware of opportunities and paths for promotion. They should be encouraged to recruit other people like them to work in the organization. They should also see themselves reflected in the management. To improve hiring practices, senior living providers can turn to local colleges. “You’ve all heard of Howard University. You’ve all heard of Morgan

State. You’ve all heard of UMBC. So if you’re not doing active recruiting in those locations, then you’re not looking hard enough,” explained Cordell Martin, community relations coordinator at Tribute at Melford, an assisted living and memory care community in Bowie, Md, during a digital discussion. “I’m talking about bringing in talented people. I’m not

talking about bringing in someone just so you can say you’ve fulfilled a quota, because that’s often how it’s presented.” Discrimination by Clients During Positive Aging’s digital discussion, many of the panel members and the participants highlighted discrimination by clients, especially in the home care sector. Many caregivers, particularly those who are from foreign countries, face discrimination from clients. Caregivers may be mistreated or misjudged simply based on racist ideas. Home care workers and owners alike reported clients asking for caregivers who “didn’t have accents” or who “looked like them.” Sambal Johnson, a caregiver with HomeCare.com, relayed her personal experience. “I’ve been discriminated against because of my name. They assume that there will be a language barrier or that I don’t know what I’m doing. But once you get in and you understand them and explain yourself to them, the majority of the people are understanding and it works out.” Companies have to support and defend their workers—to the point of removing them from uncomfortable or unsafe situations. Todd Walrath, the CEO of HomeCare.com, spoke of how he supports his frontline workers by ensuring that they know they can always refuse a client if they feel Continued on page 37 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

COVER STORY

Senior living is adapting and advancing

By Christy Brudin n early 2020, the world came to a halt. Schools closed. Businesses shuttered. Commerce virtually stopped. Nearly everyone who could went inside and closed their doors firmly. The same was true in the senior living industry. Senior living communities locked down— prohibiting visitors, eliminating in-person resident programs, and instituting staff screening— all to keep a vulnerable population safe. Now, months later, communities are just beginning to partially—and carefully—lift restrictions. While there will be many “lessons learned” from how the senior living industry faced this global pandemic, one thing seems certain: the industry will be forever changed. Senior living professionals at every level of the industry came up with new practices and protocols to keep residents safe and to ensure they remain connected. The world may have stood still for just a little while, but the senior living industry kept adapting— and now it is rapidly advancing. This is an industry that is zooming toward a new era.

Engaged Living During a Pandemic

Perhaps nowhere is this race toward the future more evident than in two of the Washington, D.C. region’s premier communities—Ingleside at Rock Creek and Ingleside at King Farm. These not-forprofit life plan communities offer care options ranging from independent living and memory support residences to nursing care and a wide range of accommodations. Both communities are also committed to engaged living. The communities provide vibrant and fulfilling lifestyles enhanced by excellent service, fine dining, and extraordinary amenities—all shared with like-minded peers. From diverse Zoom programming to activity packets to help residents keep busy, the staff at both Rock Creek and King Farm have ramped up their offerings to ensure that residents never feel alone. They have also used in-house TV networks to air movies, TV shows and unique programming like resident talent shows. Additionally, the communities focused on helping residents remain connected with family and friends. Whether they were just settling in when Covid-19 struck or long-time residents, the seniors who call Ingleside at Rock Creek and Ingleside at King Farm home experienced first hand what it meant to live in a senior living community committed to engagement during a pandemic. Now, they share their experiences and their hopes for the future.

Support Through Challenging Times

From day one, life got easier for Anna Sonny after her move to Ingleside at King Farm. That was seven years ago. While she noted many benefits of moving, perhaps the biggest was the support she received after her husband, Jacob, passed away. “Throughout his illness and following his death, everyone here—the chaplain, the staff, the other residents, the management—they were all so helpful to me and my two children as we faced this difficult reality,” Anna recalled. “I will never forget the expressions of sympathy and caring and love. Everyone here was so generous, compassionate and loving. I have never felt more grateful.” Continued on page 29

A Welcome Change

Continued from page 27

When their search began, it didn’t take Anna and Jacob long to pick Ingleside. “We came here once and then we stopped looking. We knew this was where we wanted to be,” remembered Anna. They couldn’t have been more right. After moving, the couple had no bills to keep track of, no cooking and cleaning to do, no property to maintain, and no errands to run. “It was such a relief. Life just became so much easier as soon as we moved here,” she said. Covid-19 hasn’t changed that. Anna explained, “I have always felt safe here. I credit our management for all the proactive planning that they have done to address the current situation.”

Being Proactive and Staying Active

James (Jim) and Molly Quinn work out every day. At 85 and 80, respectively, they are committed to staying healthy as they age. They are also very proactive when it comes to planning for the future—whether that means pursing higher education or selecting a new community. When most of their peers were looking toward retirement, Jim and Molly went back to school. A former naval aviator and long time think tank researcher, Jim began studying to become a financial planner at 65. His motivation? Molly. “I was studying to be a psychoanalyst, and he decided to start studying again too,” Molly recalled. “We spent a couple of years getting up at 5 a.m. every morning to do our homework together.” Prior to becoming a psychoanalyst and pain specialist, Molly was a psychology professor for years and later a clinical psychologist in private practice. After finally retiring, the couple decided to plan their next step. “The decision to come to Ingleside at Rock Creek was really the realization that we should move while we were healthy and able to execute everything ourselves,” Molly explained. “We also wanted to enjoy being here for awhile! We love it here!” “This is location, location, location,” Jim added. “We’re right beside Rock Creek Park.” A bucolic outdoor setting—including the nearby park and manicured grounds—has become even more important now that social distancing is paramount. “My social life is primarily in the garden now,” Molly said. “We enjoy chatting and exchanging ideas about how to keep the crows from eating our tomatoes.”

Less than two months after Hans and Toni Schierling moved into Ingleside at King Farm, Covid-19 struck. “Those first two months, we had a wonderful experience here. The people are amazing, and there was so much to do,” Hans explained. “Of course things had to change, but we still enjoy it here every day.” For the Schierlings, Zoom has become a lifeline and a way of life. “I do exercise classes provided by the community on Zoom every day,” Toni added. “Actually, almost everything we attended before, we still attend; we just do it on Zoom. It is not the same as being in person, but it fits the need and it makes sense in the current situation. I really thank heaven that we’re here during this time!” In addition to enjoying the activities and amenities at Ingleside, the Schierlings love all the things they don’t have to do—especially home maintenance. “You get to a point in life where you don’t want to be bothered with leaky ceilings and new siding,” Toni said. “You just want to enjoy each other’s company and every day.” Despite the global pandemic, Hans and Toni are glad they moved when they did. “I always tell people who are thinking about moving that they will be pleasantly surprised when they do,” said Hans. “I also tell them not to postpone the move. Don’t let any more good days go by without fully enjoying them. It is truly wonderful here.”

“The staff have studied the situation very carefully and applied the right restrictions to keep us safe. They have also worked really hard to keep our lives interesting with lots of online meetings and events.” — Ginni Gorman, Ingleside at Rock Creek resident, on life in the community during Covid-19

Wait, Wait – Don’t Wait

“I would strongly recommend moving before you have to,” echoed Ginni Gorman, a resident at Ingleside at Rock Creek. “I think people wait too long before moving into a community like this.” Ginni and her husband, Jeff, have never regretted moving. “The people here are incredible.

that is the best thing about this community. This has been the most satisfying move,” Ginni said. Jeff agreed. “We got involved with various committees pretty quickly. The more people we met, the more we loved this community. Having a large group of congenial, interesting people surrounding you makes a world of difference.” Jeff is now the president of the Ingleside at Rock Creek Resident’s Association. During the Covid-19 shutdown, the Gormans have missed many of their friends, but they have always felt safe—and engaged. “We have been so well taken care of,” said Ginni. “The staff have studied the situation very carefully and applied the right restrictions to keep us safe. They have also worked really hard to keep our lives interesting with lots of online meetings and events.” Ingleside at Rock Creek has offered meetings via Zoom, so residents can still remain engaged in the operations of the community. They also provide virtual coffee gatherings, religious services, meditation, exercise classes, a Friday lecture series and various events.

A Positive Pandemic Experience

Phyllis Kaplan moved to the Washington area for her position as Coordinator of Music for the Montgomery County Public Schools. When she moved to Ingleside at King Farm, she

brought her piano with her. Phyllis was comfortable in her single family home and was confident that she could age in place. “I actually never thought about retirement living at all,” she said. “Then one of my friends moved here, and I was just so impressed. It’s like a resort here! After I joined her for dinner, I really started to think that maybe I should consider moving.” “I moved at the end of January, which was good luck,” Phyllis added. “I was here for about five weeks before the lockdown.” Phyllis is able to describe moving right before a pandemic as fortuitous because she realizes what her experience would have been like if she had remained at home. “I’ve had a much richer experience during these isolated times than I would have had living in my home alone,” she acknowledged. “This has turned out to be one of my best lifetime decisions.” Phyllis went on to explain that she had both the luxury and security of having all her meals delivered to her, so she never had to leave her apartment and risk exposure in the early days of the pandemic. She also noted that the community provided a wealth of virtual activities, so she never felt isolated. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

Both Ingleside at Rock Creek and Ingleside at King Farm established individual telephone and email hotlines to answer any questions residents and families may have regarding the procedures and policies in place addressing Covid-19. All inquiries are responded to within 24 hours. Everything about Covid-19 is challenging, but keeping the lines of communication open—all day, every day—ensures that everyone is heard and every concern is addressed. Ingleside’s hotline has been a lifeline for so many.

“I moved at the end of January, which was good luck. I’ve had a much richer experience here during these isolated times than I would have had living in my home alone. This has turned out to be one of my best lifetime decisions.” —Phyllis Kaplan, Ingleside at King Farm resident, on moving to the community prior to the pandemic

A Lifetime of Stories to Learn

A self-described outdoor enthusiast, Glenn Ihrig is thrilled to live at Ingleside at Rock Creek, which borders Rock Creek Park, a unique 1,754-acre urban oasis. He spends a lot of time in the park hiking and enjoying nature. While volunteering for the local Village program— which helps older residents age in place—Glenn decided Continued on page 32

he wanted to move to a retirement community. “I was working with and assisting people who were aging in place. I learned a lot from that, and I realized that the right thing for me was to come to a retirement community, especially as a bachelor,” he said. Following his move in December, Glenn quickly settled in before the community lockdown. “I felt comfortable here almost immediately,” he said. “The residents are outstanding. There are just so many great stories here. I’ll have a lifetime of stories to learn here, and I look forward to getting back to it once the Covid restrictions are lifted.” Glenn also noted that the staff at Ingleside is always ready to help in any way they can. That is especially comforting since part of his reason for moving was to avoid ever having to worry about home maintenance or healthcare services. “The management team—with Ingleside at Rock Creek’s Executive Director, Felix, at the head—has done and continues to do an exemplary and outstanding job.” Now Glenn feels secure in his future and safe as we all face a global pandemic. “I’m so thankful that I’ve been

here during this crisis,” he concluded.

Fast Forward to the Future

It happened fast. But the response was pretty rapid as well. Whether it is programs via Zoom or visiting from a distance, the senior living industry has adapted a whole new set of operating procedures nearly overnight. Ingleside is leading the way. Ingleside at Rock Creek and Ingleside at King Farm are keeping residents safe while keeping them engaged. They are offering virtual programs with real rewards. They are providing real safety protections that are practical and rigorous. Ingleside is moving quickly toward the future of senior living—and its residents are happy to live in the future. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

VA Relay

Hearing is Believing By Christy Brudin

Kathi Mestayer has lived with hereditary hearing loss since her early 40s. She uses a Virginia Relay caption phone for many of her personal and professional calls.

“H

e wants to hear my voice. He wants to hear me laugh,” explained Kathi Mestayer, who uses a captioned telephone provided by Virginia Relay to communicate with her 93-yearold father. “It’s a more meaningful type of communication when you hear someone’s voice. It’s more like you’re there with them.” Kathi, who has lived with hereditary hearing loss since her early 40s, uses Virginia Relay for most of her phone communications. Virginia Relay employs live captioning assistants combined with the latest voice recognition software to provide high-quality telephone captioning services. Users see the spoken words displayed on a screen on their phone just moments after they are said. By offering a diverse array of services, Virginia Relay enables people who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, or have difficulty speaking to communicate with anyone who uses a standard phone. Relay services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with no limit on the number or length of calls a user may make. All services and equipment are provided through state and federal programs and are delivered to qualified consumers at no cost.

Across miles and through pandemics

When Kathi talks with her father, he uses his own Relay device as well. Even with a cochlear implant, his hearing loss is profound. Using their individual captioned phones, Kathi and her father see the words of the other person displayed on a screen as they hear them. “I could not talk to my father on the phone at all without a captioning phone,” Kathi noted.

Kathi lives in Williamsburg, Va., and her father lives in Valley Forge, Penn., so maintaining contact via the phone is important. Especially during the current COVID-19 crisis, it is not possible to visit—or to know when visiting will be an option. In fact, Kathi was able to maintain regular contact with her father using Virginia Relay even after she was diagnosed with COVID-19 and throughout her recovery at home.

Losing her hearing and finding her calling

As a young girl growing up in New Jersey, Kathi learned about hearing loss early. Her father began losing his hearing in his early 40s. “I remember him having those old-fashioned microphones that

would hang around his neck, and the hearing aids that attached to his eyeglasses,” Kathi noted. Kathi, who is one of four girls in her family, explained that she and her sisters grew accustomed to raising their voices and ensuring that their father was looking at them and listening before speaking. “All of those things you do to talk to hard of hearing people were just natural to us,” she said. Kathi attended college in New Jersey and got her first job after graduation at Prudential. When the company transferred her to Chicago, she met her husband, Mac. A physicist, he was working at the University of Chicago and was Kathi’s sister’s officemate. Her sister decided that the two needed to meet.

“It turned out she was right,” Kathi recalled with a laugh. The couple was married in Chicago but later moved to upstate New York when Mac got a new job. A studio art major, Kathi has always spent her free time crafting artwork, but she has never sold her pieces. Instead, her long and varied career path led her to another artistic pursuit: writing. While living in upstate New York, Kathi found her dream job. She was a writer for a quarterly publication at the Cornell Center for Environmental Research. “I loved it so much,” she recalled. “I could insinuate myself into any faculty member’s office and ask all of my dumb questions. And they would answer them patiently. I learned about bugs, plants, climate, acid rain—so many different topics.” When Mac got a job offer at an accelerator lab in Virginia, they settled in Williamsburg. Kathi

attended the business school at William & Mary and received an MBA. Following her graduation, she worked for several years as a management consultant for public sector environmental organizations. For Kathi, it did not come as a surprise when she started losing her own hearing shortly after her 42nd birthday. However, even for her, it was an adjustment to start wearing hearing aids. “I had a funny moment at a party when a close friend pulled me aside and reminded me that people really liked it when I wore my hearing aids,” Kathi recalled. “She did me a favor because I needed to hear that.” “At some point, I started to have trouble facilitating meetings with large numbers of people in the room who were kind of far from me,” Kathi said. As her hearing loss made her work more challenging, she decided to change her focus. Continued on page 36

Kathi become an advocate and an expert on hearing loss. She is now a staff writer for Hearing Health Magazine and a member of the advisory committee of the Hearing Loss Association of America Greater Richmond Chapter. She just completed her two terms as an Advisory Board member for the Virginia Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. And, this spring, she participated in William and Mary’s Office of Community Engagement’s program for people with disabilities. In her spare time, she is a Virginia Master Naturalist. She recently gave a presentation to blind students on common bird calls.

Connecting and communicating

Kathi is able to keep working and stay connected with her

family because of technologies like Virginia Relay’s captioned telephone service. “I like getting emails, and my dad even likes getting emails, but it’s just really different when you can hear someone’s voice,” she reiterated. That is why Kathi would like Virginia Relay’s technologies to be more widely available. “I think people in hospitals and in senior living communities could really benefit from this technology,” she said. “Otherwise, they run the risk of being cut off from the rest of the world because they can’t hear using a regular phone.” “Captioned telephones can help individuals gain independence,” added Eric Alvillar, Outreach Coordinator for Virginia Relay. “Many individuals with hearing loss don’t feel comfortable using a regular phone, and they may be embarrassed to admit that. This technology allows them to easily read what is being said on the other end of the line.”

An early loss, a lifelong gain Hearing loss has always been a part of Kathi’s life. “Everyone in my family has hereditary sensory neural hearing loss, which is the same kind of hearing loss you get as you get older,” she explained. “But we get it young. We’re precocious.” Over the years, Kathi has openly embraced the use of hearing aids and other technology to help her father and other relatives—and to handle her own hearing loss. She has also become a vocal advocate for others, encouraging consumers to overcome the stigma associated with hearing loss and to embrace the technologies that can help them regain or maintain independence, including Virginia Relay. While hearing loss implies a shortcoming, Kathi has made it her mission to help others who face this condition gain acceptance and gain access. And she is gaining followers—and fans— every day.

Industry Actions To truly change the make-up of senior living, diversity and inclusion must become a way of life for companies. Dr. Jeffrey Ash the associate dean for diversity and inclusion at the University of Maryland School of Nursing explained that the single best way to encourage diversity in hiring practices and inclusion in employee experiences is to attach them to metrics. Dr. Ash encourages companies to add questions about diversity and discrimination to their employee and client reviews and to track the responses. To help the health care industry as a whole better address these issues, HomeCare.com established a coalition called Nurses Against Racism. The mission of the group is to unite healthcare providers to make meaningful change towards racial equity in the nursing industry.

Even though he had traveled widely, he was happy to settle in Florida. That is, until the effects of climate change made Florida increasingly dangerous. As hurricane seasons became more intense, Gilbert and his wife faced power outages, property damage and repeated evacuations. While Gilbert enjoys good health, his wife is experiencing difficult health challenges. Every new storm brought a new threat of evacuation and new complications. It was time for something different. The couple decided to move closer to their daughter Janice, who lives in Virginia. When Janice toured Seabury at Friendship Terrace in Washington, D.C., she was thrilled. Janice found the Seabury team to be “kind, good people.” She further noted, “The community is in a While none of these efforts can eliminate systemic racism or homophobia in the senior living sector, they are small and important steps in the right direction.

Gilbert is doing what he enjoys most: meeting new people, sharing his experiences, and NOT worrying about hurricanes. to ensure that senior living services truly serve all seniors and that the industry presents real opportunities for care professionals.

Elder Law

What is elder or special needs law? Legal issues that affect people as they age and people with special needs are growing in number. Our laws and regulations are becoming more complex, and each state has different laws. Actions taken with regard to a single matter may have unintended legal outcomes. It is important for attorneys working with seniors, people with special needs, and their families to have a broad understanding of the laws that may have an impact on a given situation to avoid future problems. Elder and Special Needs Law encompasses many different fields of law. Some of these include: • Preservation/transfer of assets seeking to avoid spousal impoverishment when one spouse enters a nursing home • Medicaid • Medicare claims and appeals

What percentage of his or her practice is devoted to Elder or Special Needs Law? Is there a fee for the first consultation, and if so how much is it? Are there any alternate courses of action? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? What is the estimate of the cost to resolve your problem and how long will it take?

Find an Aging Life Care Professional Use this checklist to interview professionals: What is your area of expertise?

Can you provide me with references?

How long have you been working with senior clients?

What resources will it take to handle this situation?

What certifications or licenses do you have?

Are there any alternative courses of action?

What are your professional credentials?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative?

What special training have you received? Can you provide examples of other clients you have worked with who had situations similar to mine? Do you work with other professionals to provide referrals if needed? Are you available for emergencies? What are your fees? (These should be provided to the consumer/responsible party in writing prior to services starting.)

Who will be working with you? How many professionals may be involved? What about off-hours and backup? How are fees computed? How are travel time and mileage handled? How are services terminated? How often do you bill? Are there additional out-of-pocket fees?

Care Management services are effective when there is a high degree of trust between client and Social Worker. Seabury Care Managers are a widely recognized group of dedicated, compassionate and experienced professionals. They successfully navigate complex situations with skill and patience. Schedule a one-time, two-hour consultation. A Care Manager will complete a telephone interview to assess your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation and provide you with personalized information and referrals to address your circumstances. No further engagement is required, but additional assistance is available at any time.

HOUSING

Housing Options

Accommodating a variety of needs, tastes and budgets The senior living industry can seem overwhelming, but the important thing to keep in mind is that there is a housing option perfect for every person and every situation. Start here to find it. What housing options are available and how can they help me? SMART lifestyle communities are not senior living properties. They are unique housing options that offer excellent locations, lots of amenities and none of the stigma that is too often associated with senior living communities. Life plan communities are also known as continuing care retirement communities. These communities generally feature care options ranging from independent living to longterm nursing care on one campus. Residents can transfer to higher levels of care as needed. For older adults who want to leave the burdens of home maintenance behind, independent living communities may be the ideal option. In addition to property upkeep, these communities also generally offer 24hour security and activities to keep residents engaged. Most independent living communities are rental properties, although some do offer the option for residents to purchase units. Individuals who need assistance with the activities of daily living may want to consider an assisted living community. In addition to daily assistance, these communities also offer activity programs to fit the interests of every resident. Assisted living communities are an important option for older adults who need some level of help on a daily basis. All of these communities offer standard services including daily meals; supervision; security; and help with the activities of daily living, or ADLs. ADLs can include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Some communities also offer help with medication management; transportation services; and coordination of medical, health and 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

Finally, whether for a short-term rehabilitation or a long-term medical stay, nursing and rehabilitation centers are a vital senior living option. Nursing and rehabilitation centers serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home. They are also ideal for short-term stays for individuals who are recovering after a surgery or an illness. How should I find a housing option? Use our research. Sourcebook features detailed articles, checklists, featured listings and comprehensive tables in each of our specific housing sections. Use these resources to begin your search for a community

that is right for you and your family. After selecting the type of community that best fits your wants, needs and budget, you should start calling individual properties to request additional information. Most communities can provide detailed brochures, helpful websites and easyto-understand financial information.

Moving and Downsizing Professional help can make moving easy Moving can be a daunting task— no matter what your age—but it can be even more overwhelming for older adults who may be leaving a home they have lived in for decades. Luckily, the enormous growth in the senior population has led to the development of a wide variety of professional moving and real estate services designed specifically to help older adults and their families. Senior Move Managers®, Senior Real Estate Specialists®, and Certified Senior Housing Professionals are just a few of the professionals who are specially trained to help seniors with all the challenges of moving and downsizing. Senior Move Managers assist older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They can also help families who wish to declutter or reorganize a home to better age in place. These professionals provide a multi-faceted approach to the move process, from space planning in the beginning to post-move support and advocacy. By addressing all aspects of the moving process, Senior Move Managers minimize the chaos and stress of moving. From initial planning to downsizing to the physical aspects of moving, Senior Move Managers create a comprehensive plan that includes selling or disposing of unwanted items and setting up the new

residence. Many Senior Move Managers are also movers. Others work closely with a reputable local moving company to complete that aspect of the job. Senior Real Estate Specialists are Realtors who are specially trained to manage the sale of a home for consumers over the age of 50. They bring targeted knowledge, senior experience and marketing savvy to each sale. These specialists have extensive knowledge about everything from reverse mortgages and the importance of universal design to the uses of pensions, 401k accounts and IRAs in real estate transactions. Finally, Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) are real estate professionals who have completed extensive coursework on how best to assist older adults and their families in the home buying or selling process. CSHPs understand that late-in-life moves can be more complicated and require greater physical and emotional energy than traditional moves. They are trained to help older adults navigate the complexities of moving by addressing their fears, concerns, needs and goals. The first step in every move process should be to evaluate the current living situation and needs. Then consumers can contact the many local professionals to inquire about services and costs.

There are a wide variety of professional moving and real estate services designed specifically to help older adults and their families. Most professionals offer a diverse menu of services, ranging from full service moves to help with particular aspects of moving, buying or selling. Use the checklist on the following page to interview professionals and carefully document their answers. Using this information, it will be simple to choose the right professional for the job. While the moving process may never be fun, there is no longer any reason for it to be difficult. Older adults and their loved ones can now let specially trained professionals handle all the details of selling, buying and moving—from cleaning out the cluttered basement to finding the perfect new place for every piece of treasured furniture. With professional help, every move can be a smooth one. Sources: nasmm.org, seniorsrealestate.com, and seniorsrealestateinstitute.com.

Cutting Clutter

Advice from an industry veteran Matt Paxton knows clutter. After nine seasons on A&E’s popular show Hoarders, Matt is now focusing his attention on moving and downsizing. He is working with PBS on a new series called Legacy List with Matt Paxton. The show captures the emotional trials and triumphs of families downsizing out of their homes, as Matt and his team of expert movers and conservators pack a houseful of memories. Crisis to Calling When Matt was just 24, he became the oldest man in his family when his father, stepfather and both grandfathers died in the same year. Matt was sad—and overwhelmed. He had to settle several estates simultaneously. In the midst of this personal crisis, Matt found his calling—helping families find the upside to downsizing. Legacy List with Matt Paxton focuses on preserving memories instead of keeping stuff. “Whether it is hoarding or downsizing, the message is the same. The stuff is holding us back. The stuff is only important because of the emotional stories that go with it. You have to tell those stories, share those stories, and then you can let the stuff go,” Matt explained. Getting Started Whether you are ready to downsize from your long-time family home or just need to clean up a few rooms, you have to deal with your stuff. Matt

offers a few tips for getting started. Tip #1 : Be Patient. “It took you 50 years to fill the house. You’re not going to clean it in an afternoon,” Matt said. The process of downsizing takes time. Give yourself time. Tip #2: Address Pictures. Pictures pose

a problem for many older adults. There are so many pictures collected over a lifetime. Matt suggests addressing them early in the process by first eliminating all doubles.

SMART LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES

Smart Lifestyle Communities Great locations, excellent amenities, no age limits SMART Lifestyle Communities are not senior living properties. They are unique housing options that offer excellent locations, lots of amenities and none of the stigma that is too often associated with senior living communities. Sourcebook coined the term SMART Lifestyle Communities to identify the many existing properties that offer the locations and amenities we know our readers want. The fact that these properties cater to residents of all ages and abilities makes them even more appealing to many of our readers. For decades, Sourcebook readers have said, “I’m not ready yet” when faced with retirement living decisions. This is especially true when it comes to choosing a senior living community. Often, older adults hesitate to make vital decisions because of the stigma they attach to the senior living industry. We know this stigma is not accurate, but it persists. While SMART Lifestyle Communities are easy to love, they can be hard to find. One way to find SMART Lifestyle Communities is by using the website WalkScore.com. Using property addresses, you can easily assess the convenience of individual locations. Determine if any potential communities

SMART Lifestyle Communities are:  S tigma-Free  Low M aintenance  A geless/Intergenerational  Amenity R ich  Walkable and close to Mass T ransit are near shops, grocery stores, restaurants, bike paths and public transit. If you are interested in SMART Lifestyle

Communities or want to share your experience, please contact us at 800394-9990 or smartliving@proaging.com.

Consider a SMART Lifestyle Community Things to think about:

Location matters. Leaving a longtime home can be hard. Moving to a great neighborhood can make it easier. Consider properties that are near grocery stores, shops, restaurants, friends and activities you enjoy. Try to focus on the new conveniences and positive aspects of the neighborhood you are researching. What. How. Who. Make a list of everything that is important to you. What do you like to do? How do you like to live? What types of people do 58

you like to be around? What type of space do you prefer? What hobbies do you participate in or want to take up? The more extensive the list, the better. Lifestyle matters. It’s easy to focus on real estate and square footage, but lifestyle is more important. Focus on the people who live in your potential new neighborhood. Visit during different times of the day. Approach friendly faces and ask them how they like living there.

Staff matters. Many apartment buildings and condos have staff members who help residents make connections. They may organize regular gatherings and events on site. This is not always a “concierge;” it can be a good manager or other motivated staff member. Ask about activities and events when you tour apartments and condos. Bring a list of your hobbies and interests, and ask the staff if there might be others in the building who enjoy the same things. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITIES

HOUSING

Active Adult Communities Residents enjoy amenities and engagement Active adult communities are designed for older adults who are looking for lots of amenities and an engaging lifestyle. Often, residents choose to move to these communities as soon as they reach the requisite age—generally 55. Residents of active adult

communities enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle. Communities feature low maintenance condos or single family homes. Exterior maintenance and grounds maintenance are often included, so residents can focus on fun. Most active adult communities feature ample amenities to keep

active residents moving. Many of these communities are adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the other features generally available at active adult communities.

Tip #3: Shred. After pictures, paperwork is the item that causes the most challenges for older adults. Matt recommends spending 20 minutes a night shredding old mail and bills. Tip #4: Start Small. Focus on sorting through a single room or even a single drawer. “I love going through the junk drawer in the kitchen,” Matt 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

said. “We also find a lot of great stuff in the guest room closet. That’s where good things go to die. Why not start in those areas?” Tip #5: Give it away. Use Freecycle, Facebook groups, charities, and other options to unload unwanted stuff. Often, the amount of money you would earn selling items is negligible. There is a much larger value to giving something to someone who will actually use it. This is especially true

for old furniture and clothes. Tip #6: Share and receive stories, not stuff. Older adults often struggle when their children or grandchildren don’t want all their furniture and household items. Instead of simply refusing an item, ask about the story behind it. Explain that you don’t have room for the item, but that you will treasure the story. Focusing on stories can make downsizing easier for older adults and their loved ones. 59

LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES

Life Plan Communities Offering diverse lifestyle options Life Plan Communities are properties offering a combination of living options for older adults. These communities offer an active lifestyle for residents, as well as a wide array of amenities and services. Life Plan Communities were formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). Following a two-year research and review process, a task force led by LeadingAge and Mather LifeWays, identified a new name for CCRCs that would resonate with the boomer target audience. The new name better reflects the communities and their residents—individuals who are active, engaged and focused on the future. Living options available at Life Plan Communities may include independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing services. These different levels of care are all offered

on a single campus. Residents have the option to have all their current or future healthcare needs met without ever leaving campus. Life Plan Communities afford residents endless opportunities to remain active and involved. These communities generally appeal to young, healthy older adults. Amenities vary widely but often include swimming pools, fitness centers, gardening areas, and golf courses or putting greens. Additionally, residents have access to hundreds of clubs and activities—from art classes to yoga classes and from drama clubs to walking groups. Residents are also very involved in the operation and management of Life Plan Communities through resident boards or councils. Finally, Life Plan Communities are generally integrated into the larger

Understand Entrance Fees

Knowing the options when paying for life plan communities Most life plan communities require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. 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 life plan community to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the 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 declines 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 residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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

The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen and agreement type.

are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are partially refundable or refundable on a declining basis.

Passing the Test 2020 has been a test. We can all agree on that. The test that COVID-19 has presented has been particularly challenging for the senior living industry. But some shining stars in the industry are not just passing; they are excelling. Knollwood is one of those cases. Knollwood is a life plan community serving officers from the uniformed services, high-ranking government officials, and their families. From the early days of the pandemic, Knollwood has taken a proactive approach to fighting COVID-19 and keeping residents safe. And it’s working. The community has kept transmission levels down and prevented cases in its independent living neighborhood. The key tools in their fight against COVID-19? Testing, testing, and testing. Col. Paul Bricker, Chief Operating Officer at Knollwood, equates the community’s COVID-19 efforts to preparing for battle. “I faced the enemy in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are so many ways in which we approached dealing with COVID that was similar to preparing for war. It’s a certain way you have to think when you’re dealing with a killer. And that’s what COVID is,” he said. Studying and Testing In early March, Knollwood established a Clinical Review Board made up of key members of management who can quickly address critical issues. The Board helps ensure that all managers are informed and the needs of all departments are met. Starting in April, the community began to see clearly what their biggest challenge would be: asymptomatic patients. This realization began when a resident who had no symptoms tested positive following her death from other causes. Just a few days later, some residents in the skilled nursing center

“[Y]ou have to put in place all the tools that are available to you, and we believe testing is the most crucial tool.” —Col. Paul Bricker, Chief Operating Officer at Knollwood

began to show symptoms. The community’s leadership knew that all staff and residents needed to be tested for COVID-19 to effectively contain the virus. They simply could not fight this invisible enemy unless they knew exactly who had it. Knollwood reached out to the health department for assistance with testing everyone, but they were told that tests were only available for patients with symptoms. Realizing they were on their own, the community acted. They found a private lab to test all staff and residents within 48 hours. “The stakes are really high. If this virus gets inside your community and you’re not prepared to protect your residents and employees, then you’re at risk. That is why you have to put in place all the tools that are available to

you, and we believe testing is the most crucial tool,” Bricker explained during a recent digital discussion hosted by Positive Aging Sourcebook. When the results came in, the community found 18 positive residents and 13 positive employees. Many of them were presymptomatic or asymptomatic. The community isolated residents, sent employees home with pay, and started changing shifts to cover the employees who needed to quarantine. Knollwood continued testing residents and employees on a regular basis until May. “It was relentless; we just continued to test and react so we could contain this thing,” Becker recalled. “We had our last resident test positive on the first of May.

Before Signing a Contract

1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Daniel S. Ogus, executive vice president and chief operating officer at be.group. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.”

3. Understand services covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services.

6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.”

4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a Life Plan Community contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind?

2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly.

5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit Life Plan Communities offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources.

7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works.

Independent Living Communities Providing security with no home maintenance Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or singlefamily development, except that they provide special services, including security. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events, organized gatherings and an array of clubs. Some communities also have

tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. Independent living communities typically offer a variety of meal plans. Residents also have the option of preparing their own meals. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services. However, some 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. Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents purchase their units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while in others a fee-for-service

Ways to Live With Purpose Contribute and find meaning Most people want to live with purpose—to make a difference, to leave an impact. Research from the Stanford Graduate School of Education and Encore.org suggests that older adults increasingly are committed to making a difference during their retirement years. The study found that 34 million people over age 50 in the United States prioritize purpose beyond themselves on a daily basis. This means they find meaning in their lives by contributing to their communities. Increasingly, active and engaged older adults want much more than a rocking chair or a beach chair to look forward to in retirement. While some retirees have always dreamed of their eventual volunteer position, others are unsure how to give back and find purpose. How do

The options are limited only by your interests and your imagination. 2. Use personal connections. Tell your family, friends and neighbors that you are interested in volunteering. Ask about any volunteer work they may already be doing. 3. Use professional connections. If you belong to any professional associations, ask if they have pro bono opportunities. This is a great way to use your skills and give back. you find your purpose? 1. Use your interests. Do you have a long-time hobby or passion that you can turn into a volunteer

Considering Independent Living Is the lifestyle right for you? The questions below will help seniors and their families determine if an Independent Living community may be the right choice for them. • Do you feel isolated in your home? • Do you find it difficult to get around your neighborhood? • Do you lack relationships with your neighbors? • Do you have difficulty driving? • Do you wish that someone else would drive you to your errands and appointments? • Do you have a hard time getting out of the house? • Do you frequently go for weeks without seeing friends? • Do you wish you had more of a social life? • Do you miss participating in favorite activities?

• Do you find it difficult to run errands alone? • Do you have a difficult time keeping up with home maintenance? • Do you find it challenging to clean your home? • Do you feel unsafe in your home or your neighborhood? • Do you find it hard to climb the stairs into or inside your home?

If you answered “yes” to most of the above questions, you may want to consider Independent Living. However, you will also want to consider your current and future health care needs before making a final decision. For instance, if you have a chronic health condition, you may want to consider an Assisted Living community, or a community that offers both Independent Living and higher levels of care on the same campus. For many seniors, Independent Living offers the perfect lifestyle— one with no home maintenance or transportation worries and with plenty of social and recreational opportunities. With a wide array of communities available locally, you are certain to find a community that offers you both the independence you desire and the security you need.

Affordable Independent Living What is available and how to qualify 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 qualifies, at 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

HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with 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.

Assisted Living

Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living communities offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily living. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living communities offer basic services including meals, supervision, security and help with personal care needs. For many residents, the help available at an assisted living community can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living communities are registered, licensed or certified by an appropriate department or agency of the state that has a process for issuance of initial licenses and for renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers. Residents of assisted living communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic activities, frequently called the

in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the residents. One key offering is 24-hour supervision of the residents and the property. Resident safety and security is a priority at all assisted living communities. All communities also offer three meals a day in a group dining room. However, dining options can vary dramatically in terms of the meals available and the costs associated with meal plans. Finally, all assisted living communities offer personal care services, also known as help with the ADLs. These services include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Other services and activities available at some assisted living communities include: • Medication management, or assistance with selfadministration of medicine

• Coordination of services by outside health care providers • Assistance with arranging medical, health and dental care services • Social services • Transportation services • Outdoor areas for walking or gardening • Supervision and assistance for persons with Alzheimer’s or other dementias and disabilities • Recreational and spiritual activities • Exercise and wellness programs • Laundry and linen service • Housekeeping and maintenance • Individualized services While assisted living communities do provide a high level of care, it is important to consider what is not provided at these communities before selecting one. Assisted living communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living communities do not typically provide the level of continuous skilled nursing care found in nursing homes and hospitals. For instance, if a prospective resident

There is no set standard for assisted living accommodations. Therefore, options can vary greatly from one assisted living community to the next. For instance, some communities offer private rooms featuring kitchenettes and private bathrooms, while others offer shared units or shared bathrooms. Consumers must consider the prospective resident’s personal needs, financial means and personal preferences before selecting a community. Source: www.ahcancal.org

Pay for Assisted Living Know your options when 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 National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” 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 who 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/personal care costs are covered through private payments

by residents and families. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.

Special Benefits for Veterans Veterans and their families may be eligible for an array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Many benefits are offered to lowincome, wartime Veterans specifically.

Aid and Attendance Benefit Veterans and survivors who have been found eligible for a VA pension may also be eligible for Aid and Attendance benefits. VA pensions are only awarded to Veterans and their spouses who meet strict eligibility requirements and whose yearly family income is less than the amount set by Congress for qualification. Aid and Attendance benefits are paid in addition to the monthly pension. Veterans who are not eligible for a pension cannot receive these benefits. Since this allowance increases the pension amount, some veterans who were not eligible for a basic pension because of excessive income may be eligible under these rates.

To qualify for Aid and Attendance, Veterans must require the aid of another person to perform the activities of daily living, which include eating, dressing and toileting. Veterans who are bedridden may also be eligible. Patients who are living in a nursing home or who have extremely limited eyesight may qualify as well. Housebound Benefit Veterans or their surviving spouses who are confined to their homes because of permanent disability may be eligible for an additional Housebound benefit. The Housebound benefit is

Application Process Veterans and their families may apply for benefits by submitting the required forms to the Pension Management Center that serves their state or by visiting a local benefit office.

10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living Community 1. Make 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 serves as an advocate for assisted living/personal care 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 to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee. Ask what additional charges apply 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.

Get Involved and Reap Rewards Volunteering helps residents, families and communities Most parents are involved to some degree in the parent teacher organizations at their children’s schools. The same concept applies for senior living. When your loved one moves to a retirement community, you should make it a priority to become a part of that community. Volunteering is a great way to get involved. Give freely of your time and your talents, and you and your loved will certainly reap the rewards. Much like schools, senior living communities welcome volunteers from the larger community. They are especially keen to get residents’ family members involved. Volunteers often engage in friendly visiting or help out with special events or fundraising activities. Some volunteers lead discussion groups, accompany residents for walks or share a special talent. Most communities are open to

ideas for potential volunteer assistance. Benefits for Residents According to “The Benefits of Volunteering at a Senior Living Community,” by Marissa Salvesen, volunteers are essential to the operation of senior living communities and the well being of residents. “Volunteers can offer much-needed time and assistance, such as helping a resident organize a closet, writing cards or notes, or recording a resident’s life story; all tasks that can help families with the responsibilities of caregiving, providing them peace of mind,” Salvesen explained. Family volunteers are particularly beneficial because they are familiar with the challenges that residents might face. By giving just a few hours of time, family members can help their loved one and other residents.

When your loved one moves to a retirement community, you should make it a priority to become a part of that community. Volunteering is a great way to get involved.

During Covid-19, Larmax Homes has been able to safely continue equine assisted learning. Instead of brushing and grooming horses, which would require sharing equipment, the residents are stretching with the horses with the help of volunteers.

Horse Power

Equine assisted learning continues through Covid-19 Pets have special powers. Reams of evidence-based research has shown that pet interactions are beneficial for both children and adults struggling with a range of emotional and physical challenges. For older adults with dementia in particular, spending time with pets can help relieve depression and agitation. But move over dogs. There’s something bigger! Larmax Homes was the first assisted living community in Maryland or Virginia to pilot an equine assisted learning program for older adults. The program brings horses to residents, giving them the opportunity to bond with the gentle giants. Lori Larson, the co-founder of Larmax Homes, is a lifelong equestrian who spent a decade serving as the Chair of the Board of Directors of a therapeutic riding center. “I saw the benefits that therapeutic riding could provide for children with all sorts of cognitive and physical difficulties,” Lori said. “It became pretty clear to me that was transferable to older adults.” Larmax Homes works with two local, non-profit therapeutic riding centers to provide assistance for residents: Great and Small and Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program.

continued. Because Larmax Homes are small, with just 8 residents per home, residents have been able to quarantine together while they have been isolated from their families. Equine assisted learning has been a great opportunity for residents to

benefit from social and emotional connections. “There’s nothing like touching and rubbing a horse to stimulate the mind and to help the body relax. Horses are so social, and it is a really powerful experience,” Lori concluded. 103

Households that are age 80 and over are growing even faster. For a quarter of Social Security recipients, the government benefit makes up 90 percent of their incomes, the report also noted.

housekeeping and building security. Federal Congregate Housing is supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Eligible individuals include those who are 62 and older and have very low household incomes (50 percent or less of the area median income). To apply, older adults or their families should contact the individual communities they are interested in. Wait lists for congregate housing can be extremely long. Most residents wait at least a year. Individuals who are currently living in substandard housing, who have been displaced, or who are paying 50 percent or more of their income in rent will receive preference. Occupants pay a minimal rent that is calculated based on monthly income.

Congregate housing is a unique option for lowincome older adults who need support services. Programs are operated by local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs). To find a PHA in your area, visit www.hud.gov/program_offices. Maryland Congregate Housing Services Program The state of Maryland offers an additional state subsidy program to eligible residents of low and moderate income senior housing who, due to advanced age or chronic health conditions, need daily help with activities such as meals, housekeeping and personal services. To be eligible,

residents must be 62 years old or older; be physically or mentally impaired; need assistance with one or more of the essential activities of daily living; need one or more of the congregate housing services available in the facility; and be able to function in the facility if provided with those services. The Maryland program provides meals; weekly housekeeping of each participant’s apartment; and limited personal assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing and laundry. Costs vary by site. Individual program participants contribute to the costs based on a sliding scale. To qualify, an individual’s income may not exceed 60 percent of the state median income and their assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual, or $35,587 for a couple. More information and a complete list of sites is available online: aging. maryland.gov/Pages/congregatehousing.aspx.

Small Assisted Living Homes Residential communities offer a close-knit lifestyle 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 Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or related

memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and serving 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 across 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. As with any community, it is important to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families. Be sure that you are given specific information about caregiver training, community amenities and costs.

contained the virus,” Becker continued. “We have now been virus free for nine weeks, and we feel strongly that testing is the reason for that. Going forward, testing will inform all our operational decisions.” Rapid Testing When a local donor heard about Knollwood’s efforts to perform comprehensive testing to keep their community safe, they acquired and donated an Abbott Rapid ID Now® 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

COVID-19 testing machine. This equipment allows the community’s clinical team to conduct onsite, realtime tests. All tests are administered by certified clinicians, and results are verified by an off-site lab. The lab ensures Knollwood is ready to process tests any time to remain as safe as possible until a vaccine is developed. Ongoing Testing Knollwood continues to test employees and residents in their skilled nursing and assisted living

l l

neighborhoods every week. The community also performed baseline tests in independent living and confirmed that there was no COVID-19 in independent living. As of early July, the community had performed more than 1,800 tests. In addition to keeping their residents and staff safe, Knollwood has shared their experiences and best practices with other local communities and practitioners. The community is now a strong advocate for early and continuous testing. They will keep testing—until the ultimate test that is COVID-19 has finally passed. 119

NURSING & REHABILITATION

HOUSING

Nursing & Rehabilitation

Specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance At a nursing care center, 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 life-changing event. Who is Nursing Care for? These communities 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 residents enter a nursing care center 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

insurance 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 percent of the cost for days 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing care centers; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing care center 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 and

It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. What to Look for in Nursing Care Before choosing a community, 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.

Paying for Nursing Home Care Nursing home care can be expensive. There are many ways you can pay for nursing home care. For example, you can use your own money, you may be able to get help from your state, or you may use long-term care insurance. Most people who enter nursing homes begin by paying for their care out-of-pocket. As you use your resources (like bank accounts and stocks) over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid.

Will Medicare pay for nursing home care? Medicare generally doesn’t cover long-term care stays in a nursing home. Even if it doesn’t cover nursing home care, you’ll need health coverage for hospital care, doctor services, and medical supplies while you’re in the nursing home. Part A covers skilled care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Skilled care is nursing and therapy care that can only be safely and effectively performed by, or under the supervision of, professionals or technical personnel. It’s health care given when you need skilled nursing or skilled therapies to treat, manage, and observe your condition, and evaluate your care. Medicare covers certain daily skilled care services on a short-term basis (up to 100 days in a benefit period). For more information on Medicare’s coverage of SNF care, visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Personal resources You can use your personal money and savings to pay for nursing home care. Some insurance companies

Some insurance companies let you use your life insurance policy to pay for long-term care. let you use your life insurance policy to pay for long-term care. Ask your insurance agent how this works. Important: Be sure to get help before using either of these options. There are important issues you need to understand. Help from your state (Medicaid) Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Most, but not all, nursing homes accept Medicaid payment. Even if you pay out-of-pocket or with long-term care insurance, you eventually may “spend down” your assets while you’re at the nursing home, so it’s good to know whether the home will accept Medicaid. Check with the nursing home to see if they accept people with Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary state to state. Most often, eligibility is based on your

income and personal resources. Many states have higher Medicaid income limits for nursing home residents. You may be eligible for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home even if you haven’t qualified for other Medicaid services in the past. Sometimes you won’t be eligible for Medicaid until you’ve spent some of your personal resources on health care. Generally, even if you’re eligible for Medicaid, all of your income (except for a monthly personal needs allowance and amounts considered necessary to support your spouse and family living in the community) will go to pay your nursing home expenses and Medicaid will cover the rest. To get more information on Medicaid eligibility in your state, call your local Medicaid office. Information excerpted from a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publication.

From fresh, modern spaces to health specialists for every need, life can be lived as it should - to the fullest, free of guilt, knowing you’re doing all you can.

OUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING OUR PATIENTS AND RESIDENTS SAFE Each new patient is admitted to a dedicated Admission Observation Unit for a 14 day stay and receive temperature checks and are tested for COVID-19 at several intervals during their 14 day stay on the unit. Dedicated staff members are trained in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and proactive clinical infection control guidelines. All staff are screened for temperature and other symptoms every shift, work only if they pass this clinical screening process, and are tested for COVID-19 on a regular basis. In fact, we have gone above and beyond state and federal requirements to test our residents and staff members frequently, as it is the best way to protect our residents from the virus. All affiliated Genesis locations have an Infection Control Specialist focused on procedures and staff education.

Ombudsman Programs Advocates can help residents and families Everyone needs an advocate. Someone who can help them resolve issues, navigate challenges and make decisions. For older adults who are living in, or considering moving to, a nursing facility or assisted living community, long-term care ombudsman can serve as essential advocates. What is a long-term care ombudsman? A long-term care ombudsman is an advocate who strives to improve the quality of life for individuals receiving long-term care services. Ombudsmen resolve complaints against long-term care providers through counseling, negotiations and investigations. They can also provide vital information about long-term care providers to help consumers make informed decisions. Using trained volunteers, ombudsman programs make regular visits to long-term care facilities to interact with residents and staff. Finally, ombudsmen strive to educate the community about long-term care issues, train long-term care staff and consult with long-term care providers. The ombudsman program is federally mandated and located in every state. Operated by the Administration on Aging, the ombudsman program has more than 6,000 volunteers certified to handle complaints and 1,300 paid staff. In 2018, ombudsman programs investigated more than 194,516 complaints and provided information on long-term care to another 409,311 people. The ultimate goal of the ombudsman program is to provide residents of long-term care facilities with an advocate who will work to ensure they receive the highest level of care possible. Volunteer ombudsman are a voice for residents and their families. How can an ombudsman help me?

Ombudsmen stand with residents of long-term care communities, ensuring that their voices are heard and their complaints and concerns are addressed. For families who are searching for a nursing facility or an assisted living facility, Ombudsmen can provide vital information about facilities, services, complaint histories, inspection reports, and features to look for while searching for a community. As a consumer of long-term care, Ombudsmen can help you voice any

concerns you may have about current providers. They can also take you through the steps necessary to resolve any complaints. This generally starts with negotiation, during which the two parties sit down to discuss the concern and the Ombudsman serves as a facilitator. In many cases, both parties are able to agree to a solution. If negotiation is not successful or appropriate, Ombudsmen can launch a formal complaint investigation aimed at achieving a resolution to support the resident. Ombudsmen will accept anonymous complaints. In cases where names will be used, residents and/or their families must sign a waiver of the right to confidentiality. How should I find an ombudsman?

SPECIALIZED CARE

MEMORY CARE

Options for Memory Care Considering a residential facility For older adults with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, moving to a residential memory care facility may be the best option. These communities can offer varying levels of care, depending on the needs of the patient. They also offer valuable peace of mind for family members and caregivers, who may no longer be able to provide care at home. Most retirement living communities offer options for individuals with memory care needs. Before selecting a community, potential residents and their families should carefully evaluate their current and future care needs. Consumers should also familiarize themselves with the wide variety of community options available. More information about housing options is available

throughout the Sourcebook. Life Plan Communities These communities provide a full range of care options from independent living to nursing care. Residents with memory care needs would generally move in while they are still healthy and progress to higher levels of care. Assisted Living Assisted living facilities offer additional support for residents, including assistance with the activities of daily living. Many assisted living facilities offer services specifically designed for people with dementia. Skilled Nursing Facilities These communities offer roundthe-clock care for patients. Some

nursing homes have specialized units and specially trained staff to accommodate the needs of patients with dementia. Special Care Units Special Care Units, or SCUs, are also called memory care units and are designed to meet the specific needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These units are often located within other residential care options. Some of these units are locked or secured for the safety of residents. SCUs generally offer other specialized services, including highly trained staff and activities designed for individuals with varying stages of dementia.

MEMORY CARE

SPECIALIZED CARE

Know the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s The Alzheimer’s Association provides the common signs Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s, a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s typical? Sometimes

forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What’s typical? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook. 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at

work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What’s typical? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show. 4. Confusion with time or place People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What’s typical? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. Information from the Alzheimer’s Association website. Visit www.alz.org or call 1.800.272.3900 for information, referrals and support.

SPECIALIZED CARE

MEMORY CARE

Choosing a Memory Care Facility Use this checklist to review options: STEP 1 – Call Facilities and Ask Questions Are families encouraged to participate in care planning? Do staff members communicate openly with families? Are families informed of changes in the resident’s condition or care needs? Is personal care and assistance provided? Is medical care provided? Is care personalized to meet specific resident needs, abilities and interests? Is the staff specifically trained in dementia care? Is there a physician and/or nurse practitioner on the premises and a registered nurse on site at all times? What is the ratio of residents to staff? Is staff equipped to handle challenging behaviors? Are planned activities scheduled, and do they actually take place? Are activities designed to meet specific needs, interests and abilities of residents? Are activities available on the weekends or in the evenings? Is transportation available for medical appointments or personal shopping? Is physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy available? STEP 2 – Visit Facilities and Observe Do residents appear comfortable, relaxed and involved in activities? Are residents well groomed, clean and dressed appropriately? What is the rate of falls for residents?

Is the facility free of unpleasant odors? Is there indoor space available for residents to

move around freely?

Are both the indoor and outdoor areas safe,

secure and monitored?

Is there a designated family visiting area? Are the resident rooms clean and spacious? Are residents allowed to bring personal items

with them, such as photos and bedding?

Is the food appetizing? Is the dining area a pleasant environment? Can family and friends join residents for

mealtime?

Can the facility accommodate special dietary

needs?

Does staff provide assistance with feeding if

necessary?

STEP 3 – Ask More Questions and Decide Are family and friends able to participate in resident care? Do the visiting hours work for the family? What is the discharge policy? Ask about any situation or condition that would lead a resident to be discharged, including behavior changes and financial circumstances. Is staff available to escort residents to the Emergency Room, if needed? Is end-of-life/hospice care available on site, if needed? Source: Information adapted from the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org). For additional assistance with care decision making, contact the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 or visit www.alz.org.

HOSPICE CARE

SPECIALIZED CARE

Hospice Care

Improving the quality of life remaining A 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 Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends.

However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or in-patient hospice residential settings. What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer shortterm inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. 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. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice

Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life.

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-of-pocket expense.” 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. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites. For more information, see www.caringinfo.org or the information on hospice care at www.cancer.org.

AGING IN PLACE

Aging in Place Options Choices for remaining at home Never want to move? Want to receive the care and support you need in the home you love? Whether you are committed to remaining in your long-time family home or an amenity rich apartment community, there are plenty of options for aging in place. Start here to find them all. What aging in place options are available and how can they help me? Homesharing is the practice of older adults renting extra rooms in their homes to supplement their income. Homeowners benefit from the additional social contact that a roommate can provide. They may also receive assistance with chores in exchange for a reduced rent. Home care is a large and diverse field. The basic home care options include companion care, home healthcare and skilled nursing care. Companion caregivers serve as surrogate family members and may offer assistance including meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation and help with exercising. Home healthcare providers help older adults perform the activities of daily living they are no longer able to complete alone. These may include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Home healthcare providers may also offer some companion care services. Skilled nursing services are prescribed by a physician and delivered by a registered nurse. This type of care may include administering injections or medications, wound care, catheter care, respiratory therapy, or other medical tasks. Adult day care centers offer a variety of programs and amenities for older adults who need care and social opportunities during the day.

HOMESHARING

AGING IN PLACE

Homesharing

Homeowners and renters can share, save and socialize With the sharing economy now in full swing, sharing is not just caring; it is decidedly trendy. It is no surprise that the sharing economy is now making its way into the senior living industry. A system in which people share goods and services in exchange for money, the most obvious example of a sharing economy is Uber, which allows riders to pay drivers for transportation. For seniors, the sharing economy now presents the opportunity to share their homes and earn extra money (or find affordable rent), enjoy compatible roommates and avoid isolation. Enter homesharing. What is Homesharing? Homesharing is when older adults rent extra rooms in their homes to compatible housemates to supplement their income. Renters get an affordable place to live. Everyone gets more social contact. Depending on the type of homesharing arrangement, renters may provide light help around the house in exchange for lower rent. They may mow the lawn, take out the trash, clean the

house or provide rides to the grocery store. This arrangement can make living independently easier for older adults—and allow them to remain in their homes longer. How Do Homeowners Find Roommates? Older adults may find roommates using existing connections. Anyone interested in homesharing should first talk to friends and family members. This simple act may lead homeowners to their very own roommate. It worked for the Golden Girls! Seniors homeowners can also quickly and easily find roommates using online platforms. These platforms are specially designed to match homeowners with potential renters and are safe and easy to use. One platform that particularly caters to seniors, baby boomers, empty nesters and other older adults is Silvernest. Silvernest uses a proprietary matching tool to help older adults find the perfect roommate. The platform also features resources including ID verification, background

screening, electronic rent payments and lease generation. How Do Renters Find Homes to Share? Potential renters should also inform their friends and family that they are looking for a room to rent—and that they are open to living with an older adult. Renters can also use online sharing platforms to find available rooms in their area by searching based on their location and budget. While Silvernest caters to homeowners who are 50+, the platform can help anyone find a rental property. Silvernest renters range in age from 20s to 80s. The platform also includes secure messaging, so potential housemates can learn more about one another and determine the homesharing arrangement that works best for them.

Independent Together Sandy and Kathy are independent women. Sandy, 83, is an artist, gardener and yoga enthusiast. Kathy, 63, is an avid cyclist and hiker. The two Fort Collins, Colorado, residents met through Silvernest, an online platform that matches older adults with roommates. Sandy owns a home and had extra space for a roommate. “I was putting flyers out in churches and doing all kinds of things looking for a roommate, and Silvernest was really easy,” recalled Sandy. Sandy was connected with Kathy via Silvernest, and the two hit it off quickly. The women spend time together playing cards, walking Sandy’s dog, and sharing a glass 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

of wine. They both benefit from the built-in social interaction that homesharing offers. “Social isolation is one of the biggest problems as people get old, and it is a big factor in dementia and everything else,” Kathy said. “I think having a roommate or housemate

situation alleviates so much of that.” Both women also benefit financially from the homesharing arrangement. Sandy gains extra income every month, and Kathy enjoys substantially lower rent. “I can have that money to go and travel or do things around town—or buy a bike,” Kathy noted. Sandy enjoys having someone around to help with small tasks. Kathy helps Sandy with her dog and cat and is available to watch her beloved pets if she is out of town. Kathy also frequently carries heavy items up and down the stairs— making life a little easier for Sandy. Sandy and Kathy are both healthy and independent—and they intend to stay that way—together. 141

Reverse Mortgages A powerful retirement option By Bill Hornbeck, CEO, Senior Lifestyle Mortgage

Reverse mortgage loans are gaining acceptance among borrowers and financial advisors alike. Using home equity to pay for elder health care costs and improve retirement income is now recognized as a legitimate and practical financial tool. Although most consumers recognize the name of the program as the Reverse Mortgage Loan, the program is more formally known as the FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM (pronounced “heck-em”). The flexibility of the reverse mortgage home equity loan is especially welcome when borrowers learn that they can choose to reduce the debt over time, just as with a regular forward mortgage. Every borrower is given the option to pay loan interest at any time, to pay down loan principal, or to make no monthly loan payments at all. In fact, reverse mortgages compare favorably to the standard Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) commonly provided by local banks. The HECM loan provides two cashout options for borrowers. The first option enables eligible homeowners to receive cash each month by borrowing available home equity in a scheduled monthly amount. The second option is to establish a HECM Line of Credit that creates a larger pool of readily available funds. Unlike a regular bank

142

HELOC, the HECM can never be canceled or modified because of a reduction in the home value. The advantage of the HECM Line of Credit is the flexibility that it gives to families, allowing them to better manage the expenses of in-home health care and other emergencies. With a line of credit in place, the family can use home equity funds as needed without a requirement to make monthly mortgage payments. The existing loan balance will become due and payable when the last remaining borrower sells the home, moves away or dies. When the family decides to sell the home, they then pay off the loan balance and retain any profits from the sale. It is important to note that the borrower is responsible for complying with the loan terms, which include

regular maintenance of the home and the payment of property taxes, hazard insurance premiums, and any Home Owner’s Association dues. It has been said that the HECM is the most misunderstood financial product in the industry. However, industry research shows that senior homeowners are rapidly embracing this unique financial tool as a method for extracting muchneeded cash from their homes. In many retirement scenarios, home equity is the largest remaining asset of homeowners. As life expectancies continue to increase and elder healthcare costs continue to rise, many retirees find that accessing home equity is the best way to fund senior lifestyle expenses.

More than Sustenance Custom meals enrich lives After surgery to remove a kidney, Howie Hallock needed to maintain a strict diet. His longtime partner Jean Eckert, an accomplished artist with a studio in Georgetown, is far more comfortable painting than cooking. Jean and Howie agreed they needed a solution for meals, but all the meal service options they tried didn’t work out. “We tried cooking classes and some meal delivery services, but they just weren’t for us,” Jean recalled. The couple’s search eventually led them to Elder Nourish, which provides customized meal plans and nutritional support for older adults in Washington, D.C. and the metro area. Founder and CEO Kim Lipinski met with Jean and Howie to discuss their dietary restrictions, personal preferences and desired meals. “Kim devised a wonderful set of meals for us. She is truly a godsend,” Jean said. “I always tell her that every time she comes is like Christmas day.” “The meals need to be kidney friendly, low salt and gluten free because of my condition and my allergies. It’s been really tough for us to figure out our meals,” Howie added. Beyond meeting the couple’s strict dietary needs, the meals are delicious. “She provided an incredible list of meals. There must be 60 different options,” said Howie. Jean concurred, “I love the food. I actually look forward to each meal,

select their meals, which are delivered periodically and feature simple instructions for reheating. Food is not only essential; it is enriching. Elder Nourish is delivering much more than simply sustenance. “Kim is a very caring person, and so much care goes into the food that she prepares for us. That is obvious,” Jean concluded.

Safe and Accessible Homes

Creating home environments that promote aging in place According to 2018 Home and Community Preferences: A National Survey of Adults Age 18-Plus by AARP, 3 out of 4 adults age 50 and older want to stay in their homes and communities as they age. However, older adults are painfully aware of the challenges that come with aging in place. In the same study, only 59 percent of respondents anticipated being able to stay in their communities. Unfortunately, more than half of Americans (52%) age 65 plus will need long-term care in their lifetimes, according to investment research firm Morningstar. Otherwise healthy older adults often need help recovering after a major illness or a fall. In fact, falls are the most frequent cause of injury for older adults and often lead to increased care needs. A 2015 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that about a third of older adults fall each year—and the number of falls is steadily rising. If older adults plan to successfully age in place, they must plan ahead to improve the safety and function of their home environment. Fortunately, there are a wealth of providers dedicated to helping older adults age in place. From home modification companies to emergency response services, there are professionals who can help older adults live in their homes for a lifetime. Use this section to plan ahead.

Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists Certified Agingin-Place Specialists (CAPS) are professionals who are knowledgeable about home modifications to facilitate aging in place. They are familiar with common remodeling projects and can offer solutions to the common barriers to remaining at home. To find a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist in your area, call the National Association of Home Builders at 800-368-5242 or use the “Find a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist” tool at nahb.org.

Safe at Home The DC Safe at Home Program provides safety adaptations in and around the homes of qualifying seniors and adults with disabilities. Intended to reduce the risk of falls, these adaptations include handrails, grab bars, shower seats, bathtub cutouts, furniture risers and chair lifts. To be eligible, residents must be homeowners or renters of a property used as a primary residence and have an annual household income at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income. Additional requirements may apply. For more information, call 202-724-5626 or visit dcoa.dc.gov/safe-home.

Technology to Promote Independence •

• •

Digital voice assistants (like Amazon Echo) can offer simple improvements to everyday environments. For older adults with vision impairment, the speakers allow users to access audio books, so they can easily “read.” The devices can also play a wide variety of music and games, offering a remedy for both loneliness and boredom. Finally, speakers can be programmed to control thermostats, lights and security features. Video doorbells and in-home cameras allow adult children and other caregivers at a distance to monitor the movements and safety of older adults who are living alone. Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) keep older adults connected to emergency call centers that are monitored 24 hours a day by using a small transmitter that can be worn around the neck or on a belt. Consumers can purchase, rent or lease a PERS. When purchasing a PERS, consumers will typically pay a one-time installation fee, as well as a monthly monitoring charge. For rentals, fees generally include use of the equipment and the monitoring service.

Smart home technology can make aging in place safe and easy.

A home’s entryways are particularly important for aging in place, since they control access to the house. Ramps, covered entryways, wider doorways, exterior lighting and key less locks can be used to make access easier.

Stairchairs can be adapted to provide assistance on the most challenging stairways. Whether your staircase is steep, curved, narrow or awkward, professional installers can find a way to make your second floor accessible.

Assistive Technology Can Help The world of technology is exploding with options that could allow seniors and baby boomers to live in their homes longer. So why aren’t they all taking advantage of available technologies? The simple answer is because most of the people who would benefit from these technologies are unaware that they exist. We are all familiar with the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial advertising wearable pendants that can be pressed when a person needs help. But there is so much more available today. There are currently devices available that can visually and audibly alert individuals when it is time to take their medication. Given the fact that approximately 40 percent of nursing home admissions are the result of individuals being unable to take medication without supervision, these devices can help more seniors remain at home. Sold in varying shapes and sizes, holding large to small pills, medication management devices can beep, flash, and text patients and caregivers when it is time to take a medication or text when a medication is missed. They can be purchased with monthly services to allow distant caregivers the ability to manage medications. Devices range from $299.00 to $999.00. Tracking devices are also available that allow people to be found quickly if they wander. These tracking devices can be worn as watches, placed in a shoe as an insert, worn on a belt or

Popular Technologies for Seniors Medication Management These devices and services can prompt seniors to take their pills and keep them from getting their prescriptions mixed up. Sensor Monitoring A wide variety of sensors are available to enhance safety and security, ranging from sensors that detect falls or a lack of motion to sensors that can turn off appliances or alert caregivers to a water leak. Tracking Devices Worn as watches, on a belt, as a pendant or as a shoe insert, these devices allow people to be found faster if they wander.

worn around the neck as a pendant. According to the Montgomery County Police – Project Lifesaver, it is imperative that an individual is found quickly, because for each moment lost, the search grid expands to a size that makes it almost impossible for individuals to be found. With that in mind, when choosing a tracking device, it is important to know how soon the device will notify caregivers the person is wandering. Very few of the devices currently on the market can give an exact location. Newer models also include two-way voice communication. The assistive technology market also includes devices that can monitor

health, sleep patterns and movement in the house. House sensors can monitor water leakage, movement in the bathroom, movement in and out of a bed or a chair, as well as the opening and closing of cabinets or doors. Finally, there are sensors that can turn off appliances if there has been no movement in a certain amount of time. Using the power of new technologies, caregivers can provide independent, safe living environments for their parents or other loved ones and still have peace of mind. By working with loved ones and professionals, seniors can easily create secure environments where they can age in place.

House calls Medical care at home For every individual in a nursing home, there are three more people equally fragile and infirm living at home, according to the American Academy of Home Care Medicine (AAHCM). Physicians and medical groups specializing in house calls have become increasingly available to such patients. If you are unable to visit your own physician, house call physicians who come to your home can provide consultations to your doctor or serve as your private doctor. Because of changes in medical technology, a physician can come to your home with portable medical equipment and provide high-quality medical care.

• Do you have a medical director and, if so, is the medical director present every day? • Are you Board-certified?

Physicians are making house calls again, offering consumers added convenience and safety.

Finding the Best Physician The following questions are important to ask any physician offering to come to your home:

• Is the physician who owns your medical group present every day at the local facility?

The AAHCM provides a list of its members and medical groups providing home care physician services as a public service. The listing is intended for informational purposes only. The AAHCM does not check the compliance of its members with licensing, billing or other regulatory requirements. It cannot attest to the qualifications and billing practices of individual physicians. Therefore, users should obtain information about licensure, qualifications and billing from the physicians and groups themselves. Visit aahcm.org for more information.

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 companion care providers 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.

Medicare and Home Care Know the coverage options When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by 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 health 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 and 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 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 include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and

Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. laundry. Also not included are homedelivered 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 and adapted from medicare.gov.

Using Pet Therapy Animals breed connections A beloved pet can bring comfort and joy. This can be particularly true for older adults. Increasingly, nursing and rehabilitation centers and assisted living communities are welcoming visiting pets or hosting community pets as a way to keep residents active and engaged. What is Pet Therapy? Pet therapy is the use of animals— including dogs, cats and other domestic pets—to help people recover from or cope with health issues. For older adults, pets can help boost activity levels. For residents with severe mental or physical limitations, pet therapy is often one of the only interventions that fosters connections. People who are otherwise non-responsive may find solace in holding or stroking a gentle pet.

How is Pet Therapy Used? Many nursing and rehabilitation centers and assisted living communities have house pets. Others allow specially trained volunteers or family members of residents to bring in their pets to interact with the residents. Pet therapy is used primarily to boost activity levels, reduce stress, and alleviate loneliness or depression. Pet therapy may also help speed recovery or slow the aging process. Some communities divvy up the responsibilities of taking care of the pets amongst the residents. Residents know when it is their turn to feed, walk or otherwise care for the animal. This responsibility can help give residents a sense of purpose and provide motivation for remaining active.

When the right pet finds the right people, the results can be impressive. For long-term care residents, pets may be a welcome distraction from a difficult illness, a bright spot in a challenging day, or a reason to push harder and strive for recovery. For such a simple intervention, pet therapy can yield impressive results.

A Call May Be the Answer

Maryland service provides free check-in calls for seniors Sometimes a simple call is all you—or your mom, dad or loved one—needs. The Maryland Department of Aging offers just that: a daily phone call to check on your well-being. Created to give older adults who live alone and their loved ones added peace of mind, the Senior Call Check program provides a free daily automated phone call to participants. The calls are made within the same one-hour time block selected by participants every day. The calls ensure that participants are able to answer the phone. How does the program work? After approval and enrollment, participants receive daily calls during a one-hour time block selected by the participant. Calls are available during four time slots: 8-9 a.m., 9-10 a.m., 2-3 p.m. and 3-4 p.m. If the participant does not answer the initial call, they will be

tried two more times. If the subsequent calls go unanswered, an alternative contact selected by the participant will be called and asked to check on the participant. If none of the calls are answered, local law enforcement may be asked to perform a non-emergency welfare check. To make changes to your enrollment information, such as your phone number, the time of the call or alternate contact’s information, or to request a vacation or sick leave hold, call 1-866-50-CHECK.

After approval and enrollment, participants receive daily calls during a one-hour time block selected by the participant. Department of Aging’s website at aging. maryland. gov. Eligible participants can register online or download and print the Senior Call Check paper application and mail it in. Maryland residents who do not have access to the Internet can call 1-866-50-CHECK to register.

Who is eligible for Senior Call Check? Maryland residents who are 65 years of age or older and have a landline or cell phone are all eligible. TTY is available. How do I enroll? The easiest way to register for Senior Call Check is to visit the Maryland

Choosing Home Care

Use these questions to interview providers: How long has this provider been serving the community? Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. How does this provider select and train its employees? Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems? Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care? Are patients involved in making care plan changes? Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient? Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints?

What are the financial procedures of this provider? Does the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care? What procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week?

AGING IN PLACE

What is a Village? A Village is a community or group of people who want to live in their own homes as they get older, with all the resources needed to live active lives. A village provides many of the benefits of a traditional retirement community—all in the comfort of the family home. Village residents maintain their independence, their friendships and multigenerational community connections. Because they work together to ensure each other’s continued health and safety, residents are able to live long, full lives in their homes. What Does the Village Offer? Villages offer volunteer help to their members. Volunteers provide transportation to medical appointments, grocery delivery, and other specialized services as needed. Volunteers may also help with simple tasks at home. Examples include small repairs, changing light bulbs, providing cooked meals to a sick neighbor, or offering assistance with laundry for someone who was just released from the hospital. Villages focus on building social connections. There are organized events, large and small, that are of interest to the community. Villages may organize book clubs, walking

Many Village events take place at a neighbor’s home; others take place at a local church, synagogue, mosque, library or community recreation center. Villages often partner with other local organizations to develop programs together. Who Creates the Village? Villages are created by PHONE

RESOURCE GUIDE

Community Values

Senior-serving professionals are valuable resources An ailing grandmother. A parent in crisis. A beloved relative who can’t find the care they need. It is these very personal—and often very challenging—experiences that inspire many professionals to seek out a career in senior services. Whether they are young adults who chose this profession from the outset or individuals launching second careers, senior-serving professionals have historically struggled to find appropriate support resources. In many cases, the best source of support for professionals is their peers. With that in mind, this section is designed to help professionals find each other.
