Village People

In a world where neighbors are anonymous and friends are only friends online, DC Villages stand out. DC Villages are a network of thirteen individual villages throughout the District of Columbia that deliver services, resources, and opportunities to seniors and their communities—helping older adults age in community. Villages are NOT senior living communities. They are community-based service organizations that help older adults live independently in the place they call home.

FOUNDER'S NOTE

Progress and Positive Aging In 1990, at the tender age of 22, I put together the first edition of Positive Aging Sourcebook (which was called Guide to Retirement Living). It was the first comprehensive directory of senior living options for families just like mine. I connected with the aging community through letters, phone calls, faxes, and faceto-face meetings at events and expos. In 1995, Sourcebook began putting our information online. We started communicating with our community through email, which evolved and grew over the years to include social media and other digital platforms.

affected than older adults and those serving them. As we all slipped into various levels of quarantine and isolation, the traditional ways of gathering became impossible. With the encouragement of STEVE GURNEY steve@proaging.com many providers, Sourcebook began to experiment with online gatherings. The result has been a bigger, more diverse, more engaged audience than ever before.

Focus on providers

More community, more connections

Digital baby steps

Since we began, the most invaluable part of our community has been the thousands of senior-serving professionals and organizations who order and distribute Sourcebook and share our website. They value our content. They see the need for comprehensive positive aging information first hand. Every month, senior-serving professionals share Sourcebook’s resources with the hundreds of individuals and families they serve. Over the years, we have organized events to help this important group of professionals do their jobs better and serve more older adults.

Pandemic planning

In March 2020, all of our worlds were rocked by the pandemic. No segment of the population was more

Two years after launching this experiment, in March 2022, Sourcebook broke our own record: we brought more than 1,000 individuals together for online events throughout the month, easily sharing hundreds of questions and comments. Best of all, nearly 60 percent of the attendees were there to gather information for themselves and their loved ones, while 40 percent were attending to gain resources and insights for their job or volunteer position. While the majority of our attendees are from the Mid-Atlantic region, these discussions attract people from all over the country (and the world). What started as a response to a global crisis has become the most significant—and powerful—change in the Positive Aging Community in decades. We are stronger and more united than we have ever been. Here’s to 32 more years of connections, choices and community.

POSITIVE AGING

Positive Aging vs. 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 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 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 stigmas and stereotypes associated with aging and celebrate the values and accomplishments

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 _________________ ”

of everyone. We hosted a series of digital discussions loosely based on Ageism thought-leader Ashton Applewhite’s Consciousness Raising Exercise, which can be found at thischairrocks.com. Several hundred senior-serving professionals joined these discussions to chat about challenges and brainstorm solutions (see sidebar). Sourcebook is also dedicated to minimizing the impacts of ageism through intergenerational programs and activities. The more we can create settings where all ages are engaging together the more we can

minimize age-related stigmas. This is especially true in settings that might traditionally be viewed as senior living. We support the efforts of senior living services and communities to encourage interaction amongst children, young people and adults of all ages. Increased exposure will help everyone see people as unique individuals instead of as an “old person” or a “young person.” We are all on the same journey. We’re just at different mile markers. Ultimately, ageism is a form of discrimination that we all need to move past. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

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, 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 manager at Seabury Resources for Aging, explained the historical context

To serve all older adults, senior living communities and service providers need to be cognizant of and dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion. 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 okay to be queer anywhere.” Brown encouraged local senior Continued on page 155

SOLO AGING

Understanding Solo Aging Solo aging is simply aging on your own. For most people, this means aging without a spouse, adult children, or other close relatives. Whether they are widowed, divorced, estranged, or never had a spouse or children, many solo agers find themselves in their 70s, 80s, and beyond without any immediate family members. Long misunderstood and misrepresented, solo aging is emerging as a desirable and increasingly popular way to age. Even for individuals who didn’t necessarily choose solo aging, it can be a positive phase of life with the right attitude and some advance planning. Who is Solo Aging for? Anyone and everyone who is over age 65 and living independently. Solo agers are making decisions on their own as they age. It is important to remember that solo aging is not just for individuals who have always been single. For instance, an older adult may become a solo ager when their spouse predeceases them. Even individuals with kids may become solo agers if their children live far away or if they are unable to be involved in aging decisions or caregiving. Joy Loverde is a senior living expert and industry veteran, as well as the author of The Complete Eldercare Planner and Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? She joined a recent Positive Aging Sourcebook Digital Discussion on solo aging. In the last decade, Joy’s focus has shifted from helping individuals care for their elderly loved ones to helping them plan for their own future. When should you start planning for solo aging? Yesterday. Or today. Or as soon as possible. Planning for solo aging is much easier and far less stressful if it is done BEFORE a crisis. Especially if you realize that your circumstances will mean that you will become a solo ager, it is important to start as early as

This includes planning for your financial, emotional, and physical well being. Solo agers need to consider how they want to live and receive care (if necessary) as they get older. They should also give serious thought to whether they want to “age in place” or move to a senior living community of some type. Aging in place means that you will be living in your current neighborhood or live in another community that is not age restricted. There are also a wide variety of senior living communities—ranging from communities where residents are fully independent but enjoy amenities to properties that provide varying levels of care for residents as needed. How do you maintain and build connections and friendships as you age? Joy explained that there are community organizations, events and clubs in every town and city— many designed specifically for older adults. With no shortage of places to meet people, you have to focus on not just meeting volumes of people, but on being a good friend and forming long-term, deep commitments. Friendships take time and perseverance, and there must be a balance of give and take. As a start, Joy recommends seeking out county and city groups for older adults run through Area Agencies on Aging. She also suggests a quick google search of “free activities” and your city or town’s name.

What do you need to be a successful solo ager? While the specific answer varies widely according to personal desires, the short answer is quite simple: a clear, actionable plan. Solo Aging has many facets including: • Location – Decide where you will age. Do you plan to age in place in your current private residence or move to a different location or senior living community? • Accessibility – If you are aging in place, does your current residence need updates or modifications to accommodate your needs as you age? • Finances – Do you have the financial means to see your plan through? Have you calculated your projected expenses? • Legal – Both financial and medical planning may require the assistance of a legal professional. You should at the very least have a power of attorney appointed to oversee your decisions and estate if you can longer do it. • Medical – Do you have any longterm health conditions you need to plan for? Do you have a strong family history of a certain condition? Have you appointed someone (friend, family, or attorney) as a medical power of attorney? • Emotional – Do you have a social safety net? What can you do to create one? Do you have relationships with your neighbors or friends close by?

DC Villages

COVER STORY

Village People I

magine a place where neighbors help each other. Where friendships are forged. Where young and old work and play and thrive—together. This modernday hamlet does exist: it’s called a village. In a world where neighbors are anonymous and friends are only friends online, DC Villages stand out. DC Villages are a network of thirteen individual villages throughout the District of Columbia that deliver services, resources, and opportunities to seniors and their communities.

What’s a Village?

Villages serve older adults who live in their own homes, whether that be a single family home, an apartment or condo, a family member’s residence, or in a senior living community. Villages are NOT senior living communities. They are communitybased service organizations that help older adults live independently in the place they call home. Villages reduce senior isolation, improve health outcomes and foster community connections. As non-profit organizations, a mix of volunteers and staff operate most villages. Each village is community-based with a hyper-local focus. Accordingly, every village is unique. Villages are many things to the people who call them home.

Growing

The village movement is a nationwide effort. The villages in DC not only work together, they also operate as part of a national network—a network they are committed to expanding. “I think part of the job now is really to inspire other neighborhoods to form their own villages in places that don’t have them,” said David Mackoff, the board

president for the East Rock Creek Village. “This is a good thing for seniors—and for all the people in a neighborhood. It is our job now to show other communities how it’s done—to advise and encourage them.” Any community with an active citizenry and interested population can start a village.

Proactive

A former geriatric social worker and senior housing executive, Stephanie Chong finds her new role as the executive director of the Northwest Neighbors Village exhilarating. As a social worker, she typically met with clients after a crisis. They didn’t want assistance from a medical professional they had never met before. Trust was an issue. Working as part of a village is exactly the opposite. “We have the opportunity now to address a potential crisis before it happens because our volunteers are trained to recognize subtle changes and to address them or to help clients find resources,” Stephanie explained. “We can also be proactive because people are more comfortable asking a neighbor for help. We are building community.”

Volunteer driven

Without volunteers, villages would not be possible. In fact, volunteers completely run some villages. Volunteers range from teenagers to young professionals to adults to seniors who both receive services and donate their time. Even villages with paid staff members, like Palisades Village, need volunteers to function, explained Executive Director Erica Blanton. "Volunteers are the heart and soul of the village, and both the members and volunteers reap the

benefits,” noted Erica. “Our volunteers see the impact of the time they spend with their neighbors and enjoy the relationships that develop. Both the community, as well as the individuals, thrive and feel connected."

Sometimes a simple phone call can make all the difference. Add in a global pandemic and that phone call may be a lifeline. According to the Executive Director of the Cleveland and Woodley Park Village, Frank Finamore, the village placed more than 2,300 check-in calls in 2020 alone. Beyond simply checking on the health and safety of members, these calls help village volunteers better ascertain what clients actually need to age well— whether that is more community events, a flu shot, or help with groceries. “Too often people will not call us to tell us things. We have to ask. So, we reach out; we keep in touch. We find out about our clients’ needs and then we provide for them,” said Frank.

Giving

Although the village movement helps older adults age in place, the larger goal is to support older adults as they age in community. It is not just about keeping seniors in their long-time homes; it is about ensuring they are a valuable and engaged part of the neighborhood. With this goal in mind, villages and their members give back. They help non-members and younger residents get the services and resources they need. “Through our new Neighbors Helping Neighbors program, we have nearly 200 volunteers of all ages working in our village to make services available,” explained Bill Emmet, the president of Mount Pleasant Village. “When we realized that elderly members didn’t need some of the services available like food aid and vaccination appointments, we offered the services to the larger community. It’s been incredibly gratifying to be able to give to the entire community.”

Reciprocal

“Many of the people who get services from our village also contribute and volunteer,” noted Patricia Clark, president of the Glover Park Village. Members find ways to contribute to the well-being of the community, whether that is by teaching, visiting other members or trading chores. For instance, Patricia recounted the story of a member who is an acclaimed architect. Although his

Recommended

Recruiting new members is essential for the continuation and growth of villages. Many new members come to their local village based on the recommendation of a doctor, care manager or other trusted professional. “We work really hard to get the word out to the professionals in our community, so they can identify seniors who need help and refer them for membership,” said Executive Director of the Dupont Circle Village Eva Lucero. Professionals are eager to recommend seniors to villages because they have a track record for keeping older adults active, engaged and living at home.

Helpful

Villages are a simple concept with profound impacts. They are, in effect, bringing neighborly back. Lynn Golub-Refrano, the founding executive director of Georgetown Village, recalled an elderly member who requested a ride to a dry cleaner to have clothes altered after losing weight. The village didn’t provide the ride; instead, they provided a volunteer college student with a sewing machine who altered the clothes for free. “I always tell my members, ‘Just ask!’ If we can help you, we will. If you need something that isn’t on our list of services, ask,” said Lynn.

Connected

Modern-day neighborhoods are often anonymous. Villages are anything but. “Our members say they can’t walk down the street anymore without running into somebody they know,” said Executive Director of the Foggy Bottom West End Village Denise Snyder. “It is the gift of villages that they help create a sense of community, a true social network that supports every member of the village.” Feeling comfortable, safe and cared for in the community you call home is definitely a priceless gift.

Peace of mind

Beyond services, members gain peace of mind that they will have access to help when they need it. Many members join a village before they need services and volunteer to help others. According to Len Bechtel, executive director of the Waterfront Village, “Some members start as great volunteers.” He continued, “We have a member now who is an active volunteer but receives no services. She views her membership as a form of insurance. She may

Supportive

“When there is an emergency, we tell our members to Call 9-1-1, then call the Village,” said Executive Director of the Capitol Hill Village Judy Berman. “We want our members to focus on their medical needs with their professional caregivers. We handle everything else. They don’t have to worry about pets, or cleaning or leaving the house unattended. We are the backup that takes the burden off people and makes emergencies less traumatic.” In addition to helping with small household tasks or pet care in an emergency, villages can also help older adults locate resources to address their larger medical, legal and financial needs—providing referrals for everything from advance directives to care management.

Intergenerational

Senior isolation is a real problem. Family members often live far apart. Older adults run the risk of becoming isolated if they stop driving or have a chronic illness or medical emergency requiring a long recovery. Villages promote interconnections by facilitating intergenerational living. Younger people, including children and teens, are encouraged to engage with their elders in social activities. “We have quite a few young volunteers, and they love connecting with our seniors,” explained Kathy Pointer, director of Kingdom Care Senior Village. “Whether they are delivering groceries, providing support for events or activities, or just enjoying a friendly visit, our young volunteers are happy to support their seniors. They gain so much from the interactions too!”

“Villages are so much. They do so much,” said Executive Director Charles McCullough of the Greater Brookland Intergenerational Village. The power of villages is in the breadth of services and resources they offer to a wide range of participants. From members to volunteers to local businesses, everyone gains from participating in the village movement. While the specific services provided by villages may vary, all villages respond to the evolving needs of their unique populations. “A village really is a community. It is us helping us—neighbors helping neighbors,” Charles concluded.

Treating Movement Disorders

Treatments for Parkinson’s and other disorders have improved Movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, can disrupt everyday life. Patient’s experience a wide range of symptoms—from movement difficulties to mood disorders to cognition challenges. These conditions also typically progress with time. But help is available. The available treatments for Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia and other movement disorders have improved dramatically during the past decade. Specialized neurologists and neurosurgeons now have a wide array of treatment options to help patients achieve their best possible quality of life. World-class care in the community For decades, individuals with Parkinson’s or other movement disorders were treated primarily by general neurologists and had limited choices in terms of medicines. To see specialists, patients would have to travel to large, academic institutions. That is no longer the case. “One of the biggest hurdles to doing well with Parkinson’s compared to doing just okay was access to specialty care,” explained Dr. Drew Falconer, co-medical director and neurologist at the Inova Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center. “We created an academic center in a community-based setting and all of a sudden that accessibility problem fell by the wayside.” Continued on page 39

Essential Tremor vs. Parkinson’s Essential tremor is a movement disorder in which a tremor comes out with activity. For instance, when a person is writing, their hand may begin to shake, but when they are at rest, their hand will not shake. “Essential tremor is far more common than Parkinson’s disease, maybe ten times more common, if not more,” Dr. Falconer said. Falconer went on to note that nearly 90 percent of essential tremor patients are treated only by a primary care

Treating Movement Disorders Continued from page 32

Dr. Falconer noted that since its founding five years ago, the Inova center has grown dramatically and is focused only on movement disorders. Last year, the center provided care for more than 2,800 Parkinson’s patients alone. The evolution of treatments In addition to being more accessible, treatments for Parkinson’s disease and related disorders have also become more advanced and reliable. “Parkinson’s is a problem of a chemical being low, and that chemical is dopamine,” Dr. Falconer explained. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

“These patients are a car driving around, and their tank of gas is empty. The gas we have to give them to fill up their tank is dopamine. It’s very much akin to your type 1 diabetics who need insulin to function.” Traditional medications for Parkinson’s provided dopamine, but they were unable to provide consistent levels of the chemical. Patients would be left experiencing dopamine highs and lows. For instance, when patients have too much dopamine in their system, they may experience dyskinesia, or uncontrolled, involuntary muscle movements. New medications can deliver dopamine in more predictable and consistent ways— giving patients more symptom relief and fewer side effects, Falconer noted.

Beyond more advanced medications, movement disorder specialists can offer other treatments including Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a procedure in which a device that works much like a pacemaker for the brain is implanted and delivers targeted electrical impulses to interrupt faulty brain signals. Specialists can also provide botulinum injections to help treat muscle tightness and dopamine intestinal gel to consistently deliver treatment. If you or a loved has been living with a movement disorder or were recently diagnosed, a specialist can develop an individualized care plan to meet your specific needs. There is no need to rely on outdated therapies or to settle for inadequate symptom management. 39

Planning Where to Live Financial Institutions • Do you work with a financial professional? • Do you know when to change your investment strategy (cash, CDs, bonds, stocks, etc.) based on an increase in healthcare costs? • Have you considered if it still makes sense to have accounts at multiple financial institutions versus simplifying or consolidating? • Can family members access and understand your accounts to help when needed?

Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI) Contracts • Do you understand what your LTCI policy will and will not pay for? • Do you know if your policy has a maximum payout? • Do you know your options if asked to pay a higher premium? • Do you know the criteria for submitting a claim? • Are you aware of the actual cost of care compared to your LTCI reimbursement amount?

• Do you plan to stay in the same area, move closer to family, or move to warmer weather? • If you want to age in place in your home, have you had your home assessed by a healthcare professional for livability? • If you are planning to work with an agency to provide help in the home, have you researched the hourly/daily fee? • If you are considering moving to a retirement community, do you have an idea of the services offered and pricing models? • Are you or your loved one in need of 24-hour care? • Are you familiar with all of the senior housing options?

MONEY MANAGEMENT

RESOURCES

Daily Money Management Money matters. And money matters can be complicated. Medical bills, insurance invoices, mail, bank statements, and retirement account information can pile up—and something important can easily be missed. But there are professionals who can help.

Daily Money Managers can help:

What is a Daily Money Manager? Daily Money Managers (DMMs) are financial professionals who handle daily money matters for clients including paying bills, establishing budgets and keeping records. DMMs serve older adults, people with disabilities, busy professionals, high net worth individuals, and small businesses. DMM services provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Additionally, DMM assistance in assembling papers needed for income tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions often means the client will pay lower taxes each year. Since Daily Money Managers often work with elderly persons living in their homes, they can provide recommendations to other seniorserving professionals as needed. If they see that a client is in any way “at risk” due to impaired vision, physical limitations, or confusion, they can make referrals to community resources, including care managers, attorneys, and accountants.

 Older adults who need help paying bills and managing accounts  Individuals with disabilities who need assistance with personal finances  Victims of identity theft or fraud  Adult children who are stepping in to help a parent manage finances following a hospitalization or because of declining mental or physical abilities  Family members who are managing finances following the death of a loved one  High net worth individuals and small business owners who need help keeping accounts updated or preparing information to file taxes.

How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend, colleague, or other professional are a good place to start. The American Association of Daily Money Managers’ website (www. aadmm.com) can also provide valuable information that will help consumers learn more about daily money management and find a reliable DMM. The association represents professionals in the field by providing information and education to members and the public and maintaining a network of dedicated

Medicare Basics Understand the program

Medicare is complicated. It is also a vital component of the U.S. healthcare system that every citizen should understand. Enrolling in Medicare is a major milestone that for many individuals means better healthcare and lower costs. Before picking a Medicare option, consumers should familiarize themselves with some key facts.

WHAT IS MEDICARE? Medicare is a federal program that offers health insurance to American citizens and legal residents over the age of 65 and those with qualifying disabilities. Medicare has four parts: A, B, C, and D. Part A – Covers hospital stays, limited skilled nursing and rehabilitation care, limited home health care, and hospice care. There is no cost for this coverage for most Americans over the age of 65. Parts A and B are sometimes known as Original Medicare. Part B – Covers doctor visits, surgeries, labs, tests, emergency room care, urgent care, medical equipment, and a variety of other services not covered under Part A. Consumers pay premiums and co-pays and must meet deductibles before Medicare pays. Premiums are based on income and change annually. Part C – Frequently called Medicare Advantage Plans, these provide an alternative for those who want more coverage than what Part A and Part B offer. Medicare Advantage plans are operated by private insurance companies and provide benefits that meet or exceed those found in Original Medicare, as well as additional benefits for dental, vision, hearing and other health needs. Plans usually include Part D coverage as well. Care is delivered by an approved network of providers. Part D – Prescription drug coverage administered by Medicare. It gives beneficiaries the opportunity to purchase retail prescriptions at an affordable, discounted rate. Provided as a stand-alone plan or as part of a Medicare Advantage plan.

REVERSE MORTGAGES

RESOURCES

3 Reasons to Consider a Reverse Mortgage By Bill Hornbeck, Principal - Senior Lifestyle Mortgage As life expectancies continue to increase, many retirees are realizing that access to home equity is the best way to fund senior lifestyle expenses. Formally launched as the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), the reverse mortgage loan is the most misunderstood financial product in the industry. Following a series of improvements and increased protections over the last five years, the reverse mortgage loan continues to gain increasing acceptance among borrowers and financial advisors alike. Here are three reasons to consider a reverse mortgage: 1. Paying for In-Home Elder Health Care In the Mid-Atlantic region, the costs of 24-hour in-home health care can range from $10,000 to $14,000 per month. Not many families have the resources to cover those charges, yet many prefer to keep Mom or Dad in their personal home for as long as possible. The solution is to use home equity to generate a line of credit on the property, so that it can cover the costs of care while keeping Mom in her home. Since no monthly payments are required, there is no increase in out-of-pocket mortgage costs. 2. Offsetting the Need for Portfolio Withdrawals When a financial situation exists that requires a person to withdraw

funds from an investment portfolio, the potential impact is two-fold. First, money removed from the portfolio will obviously reduce future gains. Secondly, the risk exists that the portfolio funds will “run out.” The solution is to implement the reverse mortgage to create a line of credit that can be used to supply necessary funds while allowing the investment portfolio to remain untouched.

and increase cash flow, the reverse mortgage loan could be the best option. This solution eliminates the monthly mortgage payment and converts the available home equity proceeds into an annuity-like distribution of monthly cash deposited into a personal bank account. These deposits will continue for as long as the borrower remains in the home. It is important to note that each loan scenario described above has no requirement to make a monthly mortgage payment. Therefore, ongoing loan interest on money withdrawn from the available funds is added to the outstanding loan balance over time. The existing balance is due and payable at the time the home is sold, when the borrower moves away from the home, or when the last remaining borrower passes away. In the meantime, the borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes, homeowners insurance premiums, HOA fees, and general maintenance on the home. Before deciding if a Reverse Mortgage is right for you or your loved one, get the facts from an expert in your area.

3. Improving Cash Flow While the option always exists to sell the home rather than borrow the equity, the question that remains is, “Where will I go?” and “How long will the money last?” If the personal goal is to reduce living expenses

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

• Social Security and disability claims and appeals • Supplemental and long-term health insurance issues • Tax planning • Disability planning, including use of durable powers of attorney, living trusts, “living wills” for financial management and health care decisions, and other means of delegating management and decision-making to another in case of incompetency or incapacity • Access to health care in a managed care environment • Conservatorships and guardianships • Estate planning, including planning for the management of one’s estate during life and its disposition on death through the use of trusts, wills and other planning documents

• Probate and administration of estates • Administration and management of trusts • Long-term care placements in nursing homes and life-care communities • Nursing home issues, including questions of patients’ rights and nursing home quality • Elder abuse and fraud recovery cases • Housing issues, including discrimination and home equity conversions • Age discrimination in employment • Retirement, including public and private retirement benefits, survivor benefits and pension benefits • Health law • Mental health law.

Understanding Advance Directives Protecting patient rights An advance directive is a legal document that details medical and healthcare decisions that should be made on behalf of a patient if they are no longer able to make decisions. The document has two distinct parts. The first part, sometimes called a living will, ensures that patients receive only the life-prolonging treatments they select. Life-prolonging treatments are efforts that will not cure a terminal condition but will prolong dying. They include hydration (giving water) and nutrition (giving food) by tube, machines that breathe for you, and other kinds of medical and surgical treatment. Advance directives also allow patients to name an agent to act as their decision maker if they become incapacitated. This second part of an advance directive is often called a medical power of attorney or a durable power of attorney for health

care. The person named to make decisions is a “health care agent.” What happens if I cannot give my consent for treatment? That is where an advance directive comes in. Adults can sign

an advance directive to make their choices about medical treatments known in advance. If you become incapacitated, doctors or other caregivers can use this document to deliver only the medical treatments you want. Advance directives also

ELDER LAW give patients the option to appoint an agent to make decisions for them if needed. What happens if I cannot make decisions and I have no advance directive? In Maryland, if you don’t have an advance directive—and later you can’t speak for yourself—usually your next of kin will make health care decisions for you. Even if you want your next of kin to make decisions for you, an advance directive can make things easier for your loved ones by helping to prevent misunderstandings or arguments about your care. How do I select a health care agent? A health care agent can be named in an advance directive. This person has the authority to see that doctors and other health care providers give you only the type of care you want. Before naming an agent, be sure to talk with the person and confirm they are willing to accept this responsibility.

RESOURCES

You should give a copy of your advance directive to your doctor, who will keep it in your medical file, and to others you trust to have it available when needed.

The second part of an advance directive is often called a medical power of attorney or a durable power of attorney for health care.

Do I need a lawyer to help me make an advance directive? While you may want to consult an attorney, you do not need one to prepare either type of advance directive. To make your advance directive valid, it must be signed by you in the presence of two witnesses, who will also sign. If you name a health care agent, make sure that person is not a witness. Maryland law does not require the document to be notarized.

How do I get advance directive forms? To be valid in Maryland, your advance directive does not have to be on any particular form. Three example forms are highlighted below, but many more are available. Consumers should select one that meets their needs and reflects their values. •N ational Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) www.nhpco.org •A ging with Dignity www.agingwithdignity.org •M d.

Understand Aging Life Care™ Acting as guides and advocates for families Aging Life Care / geriatric care management is a holistic, clientcentered approach to caring for older adults or others facing ongoing health challenges. What is an Aging Life Care Professional? An Aging Life Care Professional™, also known as a geriatric care manager, is a health and human services specialist who acts as a guide and advocate for families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults. The Aging Life Care Professional is educated and experienced in any of several fields related to aging life care / care management, including, but not limited to gerontology, nursing, social work, psychology or occupational therapy. The Aging Life Care Professional assists clients in attaining their

maximum functional potential. The individual’s independence is encouraged, while safety and security concerns are also addressed.

Aging Life Care Professionals are members of the Aging Life Care Association™ (ALCA) and differ from Patient Advocates, Senior Advisors, Senior Navigators and Elder Advocates.

Ask the Care Managers Aging life care managers are an essential part of the modern senior living industry. They serve as advocates for older adults, ensuring that their needs come first. They are also a crucial part of the growing positive aging movement. With the expert guidance of aging life care managers, positive aging is always possible—whether you want to age in place, find a luxurious community, recover after a surgery or illness, or help a loved one who is struggling with dementia or another illness. Recently, Sourcebook asked several local aging life care managers to share their insights. Here are a few of the questions from the audience—along with the answers from the care managers. Q: Are case managers and care managers the same thing? Susy Elder Murphy, Owner, Aging Well Eldercare: No. Case managers typically work with patients in hospitals.

Individualized Services for the Elderly and Disabled

It is their job to get you out of the hospital, whether you are going to a rehabilitation facility or to your private residence. Insurance companies also sometimes assign case managers to individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes to help them manage their

care. Case managers are available to assist with one specific problem. Aging Life Care Managers, on the other hand, look at the whole picture to help older adults and their families create a plan for aging well that Continued on page 56

addresses emotional, medical and financial needs. Q: Are care management services expensive? Kate Caldwell, Eldertree CEO and Gerontologist: It is a myth that aging life care managers only work with families with a lot of resources. I would say about 15-20 percent of the clients that I serve are lower income with modest resources. In those cases, we’re actually helping them navigate the system because it’s extremely complicated to get aid, waivers, and other benefits you may be entitled to. Care managers are hired by the hour, so you can get as little or as much help as you need and only what fits into your budget.

that might change in the future. When should we start interacting with a care manager? Denis Valerio, Care Manager, The Option Group: Care managers actually work with a lot of clients who are healthy and independent, but they want to plan for the future. If you have an established relationship with a care manager, if the need arises, you can call them, and they’ll be ready and able to act quickly to get you the help you need. It is always better to start the process of planning for aging before there is a crisis!

is the task—helping them find the right community for their loved one and then guiding them through the transition. In other situations, the family may be far away, or they don’t feel qualified to monitor and evaluate care. In those cases, we stay involved and can advocate for the needs of the older adult. Kate: I would add that if a resident at a senior living community needs to go to the ER, the staff cannot go with them. Care managers are on call 24/7, so we can show up at the emergency room and make sure the patient is taken care of and has an advocate present at all times. Questions and answers were edited for clarity and brevity.

Q: What is the role of a care manager after someone moves to a senior living community? Susy: For some families, that really This article is from a digital discussion.

5 Things an Aging Life Care Professional™ Did Today by Heidi L. Garvis, BS, CMC® (Certified Care Manager), Aging Life Care Here’s what an Aging Life Care™ Professional (aka Geriatric Care Manager) did for you today: 1. Listened. She* listened to your concerns and began to assess your short-term and long-term needs with regard to caring for a parent. She heard that your loved one wants to age in place, but the house, the finances and her ability to care for herself has diminished. 2. A sked questions. She asked about important aspects of your life and the life of an aging loved one. How has quality of life diminished? What worries you the most? What happens when you talk about your concerns to your loved one? What motivates him/her? Who has Power of Attorney? What is the medical history? What is the financial picture? 3. C reated a mutually agreeable plan of care. The Aging Life Care Professional assessed the risks and needs and created a dynamic plan of care to solve problems and monitor outcomes. She helped you select a home care company. She did a home

safety evaluation and coordinated changes. She tracked medical appointments and made sure medication management was in place. She advised you on senior living communities if desired. She made sure your loved one had purposeful and enjoyable things to do each day. 4. Gathered information and created an emergency file. She put all the pieces of information together (doctors, medications, medical history, do not resuscitate (DNR) order, family contacts, legal contacts and other documents) and told you that she would be there for you and your loved one 24/7 when they go to the doctor or hospital. She was there when you went on vacation, so you could enjoy a break. 5. Became the neutral party. She helped you and your loved one meet common goals. And most importantly, she helped you be the daughter,** instead of a harried, potentially short-tempered caregiver. * Or He **Or Son

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 dental treatments. 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. If the thought of moving and downsizing is overwhelming, there are professionals available to help with every step of the process. Please see our moving and downsizing section. Finding the right community will lead to a happier and healthier life, as well as added peace of mind for family caregivers. 65

MOVING & DOWNSIZING

HOUSING

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. 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.

MOVING & DOWNSIZING

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.

Matt Paxton’s Tips & Tricks 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.

MOVING & DOWNSIZING

HOUSING

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 Paxton 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. Next, you should throw out pictures that contain people who you can’t name. Finally, get rid of generic landscape pictures. 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 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.

New Senior Living Developments Industry growth leads to increased options The senior living industry is benefiting from one of the most basic economic principles: supply and demand. As the older adult population grows and life expectancies continue to increase, the senior living market is expanding. More older adults equals more demand for senior living options, and more demand leads to more supply. Hence, there are senior living communities opening their doors or breaking ground daily. A growing population, a growing market According to Forbes, about 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day. As the population ages, the number of seniors needing long-term care is projected to increase to 15 million people by 2050. This means a marked increase in demand for senior living options—and corresponding business opportunities. In 2020 alone, the U.S. assisted living facility market size was valued at 83.2 billion, according to market research firm Grand View Research. The firm predicts that the industry will grow at a rate of 5.3 percent annually through 2027 to accommodate an aging population and an increased need for help with activities of daily living including eating, bathing and dressing. And that is just the assisted living

market. The senior living market is much broader. Senior living also includes life plan communities, independent living communities, memory care options, and nursing and rehabilitation centers. Local markets In the mid-atlantic region, there are dozens of new communities that have been built in the last three years—or are planned for the near future. These new communities offer a variety of care options, ranging from life plan and independent living to nursing and memory care. Some communities are new entries by industry stalwarts who have been producing senior living communities for decades. Others are smaller enterprises run by companies that are new to the senior living market. New communities vary dramatically in terms of design, amenities, and overall feel. Some offer cozy, home-like settings, while others resemble high-end luxury hotels. The good news is that consumers have choices—lots of choices. Reviewing options Researching and selecting a senior living option takes time. Sourcebook readers consistently report searching for a year or longer before making a final decision on a senior living

community. Many readers even review more than one issue of Sourcebook. Therefore, we thought it was important to highlight new developments, so consumers can ensure that they have reviewed all the local options. See the table on the opposite page. While we want readers to explore all their options, remember, newer does not always mean better. The perfect community for you or your loved one may be the one right down the street that you have driven past for decades. Or it could be across town in a historic neighborhood. The only way to know for sure is to consider all the options. See the tables throughout Sourcebook starting on page 90 for comprehensive listings of local communities. Once you have identified a few potential communities, schedule in-person visits to get a feel for the atmosphere and lifestyle at the community. Meet with staff members and residents. New communities often host online or in-person events for individuals and families who are interested in becoming “founding” members. Even if a community isn’t completed yet, you can get a sense of the people who will call the property home. After all, it is the people who really make a community unique.

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

With active residents, these communities can focus on giving back and acting as a socially responsible neighbor.

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 resident’s death. FULL REFUNDS offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds

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.

Understanding Contracts By Kelly Hagler

You want to move to a senior living community, but that’s just the first of many decisions you’ll need to make. No matter which community you move to, you’ll have to sign a contract that stipulates the services you’ll receive and what you’ll pay—now and down the road. This guide can help you navigate the different contracts you may encounter as you embark on your search for a new home. Life plan communities, also known as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This setting is generally attractive to seniors who like to plan ahead. Life Plan Communities are most useful for seniors who can come in at the independent living level and move through higher levels of care as needed over time.

1. Type A (Life Care Agreements). According to the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited healthrelated services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care.

lower entrance fee than Type A, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements). Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says Mark Herrera, vice president of skilled nursing administration and risk management at be.group. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care.

2. Type B (Modified Agreements). As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a

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.” 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. 3. Understand services covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ”

Joining a life plan community is a serious investment. Consult with your trusted financial adviser. 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. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a Life Plan Community contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit Life Plan

Communities offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources. 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.” 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.

SERVICES FOR VETERANS

HOUSING

Services for Veterans Helping those who served Individuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to longterm care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans. Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is

based on priority groups. Congress determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that

Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for longterm care in some instances. Longterm care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/or provide support for managing an ongoing illness. Longterm care, as defined by the VA, may be provided in a person’s home, a community site, residential setting, or nursing home. Eligibility for services covered by the VA are determined based on a Veteran’s need for ongoing treatment, service availability in their area, financial eligibility, priority group status and insurance coverage. Long-term care services may also be covered though Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or private funds. Veterans can also call the VA at 844-698-2311.

Additional Special Benefits for Veterans 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 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

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 added to the monthly pension amount. Veterans must have already been determined eligible for the pension. Recipients are not eligible to receive both the Aid and Attendance benefits and the Housebound benefits at the same time. 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. Information on centers and offices is available online at www.benefits.va.gov/ benefits. 85

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

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.

INDEPENDENT LIVING

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

apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their

system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privately-owned communities near you. Source: www.aahsa.org/article. aspx?id=3780

Medicare Basics Continued from 44

Medicare Supplement Plan - Also known as Medigap, these plans are offered by private insurance companies to fill the gaps that Original Medicare doesn’t cover. They cover deductibles, copayments and other services not covered by Parts A and B. SIGN UP OR SET BACK? If you ARE NOT receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits when you turn 65, you will have to sign up for Medicare during your IEP. Your IEP begins 3 months before your 65th birthday month and ends 3 months after your 65th birthday. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REMINDER FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO SIGN UP. Sign up at ssa.gov. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

If you ARE receiving social security benefits prior to age 64 and nine months, you’re automatically enrolled in Medicare A and B. Coverage will begin on the first day of your birth month, and your card will be sent automatically. DON’T BE LATE If you do not enroll in Medicare Parts A, B and D when you are eligible, being late can result in financial penalties that could last the rest of your life. For instance, if you do not enroll in Part B during your IEP or another Special Enrollment Period, the federal government will charge you a 10 percent penalty for every 12 months you delay. Delaying enrollment will also delay coverage and potentially expose consumers to large healthcare bills. ENROLLING OR CHANGING PLANS If you wish to enroll after your IEP has

l l

expired and you are not eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (triggered when leave a job or have another life-changing event), you can enroll during the general enrollment period from January 1 – March 31 each year. Coverage will begin on July 1 of the same year. Medicare recipients can change their existing plans during the open enrollment period, which runs from October 15 – December 7 every year. TO WAIT OR NOT? Are you working beyond age 65? Should you switch to Medicare or maintain employer-based health insurance coverage? If your company has less than 20 employees, you must enroll in Medicare. The government will

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 you find your purpose? 1. Use your interests. Do you have a long-time hobby or passion that you can turn into a volunteer position? Maybe you have always been an athlete and now you can coach young players. Or maybe you love to garden and you could contribute to a community garden.

Medicare Basics Continued from 107

consider Medicare the primary payer of your health insurance claims after you turn 65. If you work for a company that has more than 20 employees, you can delay enrollment into Medicare and not face any penalties. When you retire or decide to disengage from your employer-sponsored healthcare, you can apply for Medicare. CALCULATING COSTS Medicare is not free. You must pay premiums for Parts B and D, or for a Medicare Advantage program. 108

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.

Your costs for Parts B and D will be higher if your income exceeds certain limits.

not covered by Medicare. Some Medicare Advantage plans include coverage for home care, including assistance with the activities of daily living.

UNDERSTAND THE LIMITS OF MEDICARE Medicare will cover care provided by medical professionals; however, it will not cover the activities of daily living. Therefore, Medicare will not cover care delivered in an assisted living community or by home health caregivers. Home health care will only be covered if it is skilled nursing or physical therapy and only on a limited basis. Help with chores, meals, bathing, dressing and transportation is

More information about the Stanford Graduate School of Education and Encore. org study is available online: www. nextavenue.org/kick-back-live-purposechoose.

Original Medicare also does not provide benefits for dental, vision or hearing. REVIEW YOUR PLAN Medicare is not a one-time decision. It is a good idea to review your plans regularly. If switching to a Medicare Advantage plan, be sure that your doctor or preferred provider is in network with the plan. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

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

activities of daily living (or ADLs). Some communities may accept residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In fact, some communities may specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. A few communities serve individuals of any age

with developmental disabilities. When reviewing assisted living communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have. The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and Continued on page 114

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 needs constant care, a nursing home

may be a more viable option. 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

800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

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.

Assisted Living Subsidy The Maryland Senior Assisted Living Subsidy program provides access to assisted living facilities that are licensed by the Department of Health. Subsidies are paid on behalf of eligible residents who are unable to afford the cost of assisted living and might otherwise be in nursing facilities. A resident of a participating assisted living program or an applicant for residency who requires financial

assistance may apply to their local area agency on aging for a subsidy. To be eligible, older adults must be at least 62 years of age, a resident of a participating facility or approved to move into a facility, in need of assistance with the activities of daily living, and financially eligible. To be financially eligible for a subsidy, an applicant’s net monthly income may not be higher than 60 percent of the state median income and assets may be no greater than $19,000 if single or $25,000 if a couple. To locate a program, visit aging.maryland.gov.

Options for Low-Income Seniors There are several resources that lowincome older adults and their families should research when looking for housing options in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan region.

Congregate Housing Congregate housing is a unique option for low-income older adults who need support services. These multiunit housing options provide private bedrooms and/or apartments and shared living spaces. Many congregate housing sites offer social activities and services to assist residents. Services vary but can include meals, transportation, 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. 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. 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.

Medicaid Waivers

Unique option for home-based care coverage For millions of Americans living on limited incomes, Medicaid is an essential program. Many Americans are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare. These dual enrollees may also be eligible for Medicaid Waivers that will cover home and community-based care in lieu of nursing home care.

What is Medicaid?

What is a Medicaid Waiver?

Medicaid provides health coverage for low-income Americans. Although the Federal government establishes certain parameters for all states to follow, each state administers their Medicaid program differently.

Many older adults prefer to age in their homes and communities, rather than moving to a long-term care setting. Medicaid Waivers can help make this possible.

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 Alzheimer’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.

We welcome residents into our warm home settings, care for them with respect and devotion, and ensure their days are filled with hope, purpose and joy. We operate two homes in Northern Virginia: one in the heart of Falls Church and the other in McLean (at Arlington border).

“I am so grateful for your approach to resident care and your vision to provide a different type of assisted living experience.” — Cheryl S (daughter of current resident) Contact us for more information or to schedule a tour (571) 449-6029

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. Becoming a part of your loved one’s senior living community will help your loved one adjust quicker to their environment and feel more connected.

In addition, volunteers gain valuable experience with caregiving and learn a lot about life and our country’s shared history. Finally, family members who volunteer will gain greater peace of mind, knowing that their loved one is in a positive environment. Young adults and even children should also be involved in volunteering at a loved one’s community.

Assisted Living in Virginia Virginia has specific laws and regulations governing assisted living communities. According to Virginia laws, licensed assisted living communities can provide two distinct levels of care. Residential Living services provide minimal assistance with the activities of daily living, or ADLs, to older adults who have only minor physical or mental limitations. Assisted Living services include more moderate assistance for residents who may need additional help to maintain their lifestyle. Aides and companions provide assistance with ADLs, as well as help with medications and arrangements for off-site medical services. Assisted living communities provide residents with three meals and snacks every day. Meals are generally served in a congregate dining room. If a resident is ill, they can be served their meals in their rooms or in an on-site infirmary.

All assisted living communities in Virginia must have administrators who are responsible for the management of the home. With the help of volunteers and activity staff, assisted living communities deliver social, recreational, and religious activities for residents. State regulations require that a certain number of hours each week are reserved for social activities among residents. Many assisted living facilities offer on-site facilities, amenities, and services. Certain services and facilities are typically included in the standard monthly fee that

every resident pays. These include: housekeeping services, laundry services, group and individual transportation services, facility maintenance and groundskeeping, some utilities, and security services. The specific services and amenities that are included should be detailed in the residential contract. Residents and their loved ones should carefully review the contract before signing. To meet state requirements, all assisted living communities in Virginia must have administrators who are responsible for the management of the home. They must also have aides and companions who provide direct assistance with ADLs to residents, maintenance and housekeeping staff, food service personnel, and activity planners. More information about Virginia requirements and resident’s rights and responsibilities is available at vhi.org.

Avalon Homes is dedicated to providing quality care to people with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of memory loss in home-like settings in the McLean/ Falls Church area of Northern Virginia.

NURSING & REHABILITATION

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

or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 – 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 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.

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

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 longterm 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. 144

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 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. 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

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.

NURSING & REHABILITATION

Payment Assistance In Maryland, residents who meet certain financial and medical requirements may be qualified for nursing facility services through the state’s Medicaid program. The state serves more than 20,000 nursing home residents each year. To qualify for medical assistance, the potential resident or the loved one who is helping them will need to apply though the local Department of Social Services in the county where the applicant resides or where the nursing home the applicant ALREADY lives in is located. Applicants will need to provide documentation of income and resources to qualify for nursing home coverage through Medicaid. The applicant must also be certified as medically eligible for nursing facility services. This certification will be completed by the nursing home staff, hospital staff, or physician. To be medically eligible, an individual must have a health condition that requires

full-time care under the supervision of a licensed nurse. For U.S. citizens or legal aliens who reside in Maryland and are 65 years old or disabled, eligibility for Medicaid is based on income and resources (assets). Income includes but is not

Virginia Nursing Care In addition to the federal laws that apply to all skilled nursing facilities, Virginia has specific laws and regulations for nursing homes. According to law, nursing facilities are responsible for preventing a patient’s condition and abilities from diminishing. To uphold this commitment, periodic patient assessments are necessary. All licensed nursing facilities must conduct and complete a comprehensive assessment of each resident within 14 days of admission. A significant change in the resident’s condition requires additional assessments and care plan changes. The medical and functional portions of the resident assessment form the foundation for each resident’s care

plan. Every resident of a nursing home in Virginia must have a care plan. A physician must write all orders for the resident’s care including orders for medications and treatments. The facility’s administrator or designated supervisor must review and approve all care plan changes before they can be instituted. Nursing facilities never close. Service is continuous and a licensed nursing staff must always be present. Nursing facilities must also have a licensed administrator, physician medical director, director of nursing services, and nurses trained to deliver skilled nursing care on staff. To be licensed in Virginia, a nursing facility must have a Registered Nurse on duty for at least one eight-hour shift

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 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

every day, seven days a week. Licensed nursing care must be provided by a Licensed Practical Nurse, a Registered Nurse, a Clinical Nurse Specialist, or a Registered Nurse Practitioner. Basic services are often provided by Certified Nursing Aids (CNAs). In Virginia, CNAs must complete a certified 120-hour training program, pass a competency test within four months of being hired to work in a licensed nursing facility, and be registered with the Virginia Nurse Aide Registry. CNAs may provide assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) including bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting.

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 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

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 they are in danger or being discriminated against. With clients, Walrath tries to keep the focus on the qualifications of the caregiver, instead of their race or ethnicity. 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. For more information or to get involved, visit NursesAgainstRacism.com. Capital Caring Health, a nonprofit provider of advanced illness, home and hospice care services throughout the Washington metropolitan area, recently established The Center for Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity to serve more minority elders who need hospice care, as well as those who need traditional medical care to remain independent in their homes. Finally, Broadmead, a senior living community near Baltimore, is engaging in a coordinated effort to recruit a more diverse resident population. Led by Jennifer Jimenez Maraña, the community’s director of diversity and inclusion, the effort focuses on promoting social justice by ensuring that the population of residents is as diverse as the caregivers. 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. They can also serve as a model for larger efforts to ensure that senior living services truly serve all seniors and that the industry presents real opportunities for care professionals. If we advance a system that serves all, we will all be better served. 157

MEMORY CARE

Mind your Memory

Check, test, prevent, and treat cognitive decline You only get one. Brain, that is. That is why brain health is so essential for healthy aging. Whether you are concerned about a loved one who is frequently forgetting things or noticing a change in your own memory, it’s important to take proactive steps to care for your brain. Below are some simple steps everyone can take to protect their memories and enrich their brains. 1. Check – Often, individuals or loved ones may notice subtle signs of cognitive decline long before they mention the problem or seek medical attention. “There is typically a two-tofour-year gap between when a person notices cognitive problems and when they talk to a doctor,” explained Dr. William Mansbach, CEO and founder of Mansbach Health Tools, LLC and CEO of CounterPoint Health Services. “That is a lot of lost time—time that could have been spent seeking treatments and preventing further decline.” If you feel like your memory is failing, or if you are noticing that mom is repeating herself and forgetting everyday tasks, don’t wait. Take action. Talk to a primary care physician. Start taking notes when you notice memory lapses. There are tools available to help you quantify what you think you are experiencing. Use them. 2. Test, Level 1 – One of the most powerful, reliable ways to evaluate your memory is an online screening tool called myMemCheck®. The tool is backed by science and has been peer-reviewed. It is the best cognitive self-assessment available to consumers. If a loved one is not computer savvy, you can assist them with taking the online test. The free tool is available at enrichvisits.com. Test results are emailed and can be shared with loved ones or primary care physicians. If the test shows signs of memory decline, the results will suggest a follow-up conversation 158

Take proactive steps now to care for your brain or to help a loved one who may be experiencing cognitive decline.

with a doctor. Sharing the report with the doctor is a good place to start the conversation about memory loss. It is essential that individuals consult with a medical professional after receiving results that indicate a potential problem from myMemCheck®. Sometimes what may look like a memory issue at first could be a physical problem like a urinary tract infection or a reaction to a medication, or a mental health issue like anxiety or depression, noted Dr. Mansbach. Also, because of the difficulty finding and scheduling an appointment with a neurologist or neuropsychologist who specializes in memory loss, patients should always start with their primary care physician. 3. Test, Level 2 - If a self-screener indicates concern, or if you or a loved one would like to start with more advanced testing, there are also inperson and virtual professional tests available. One of the most dependable virtual tests uses the BCAT® (Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool) to provide a comprehensive assessment of brain health in less than 30 minutes. The

BCAT is not a screening tool, it is actually a cognitive test—making it much more detailed and accurate. A live specialist guides patients through the test. Video visits are readily available and easy to schedule—making them preferable to an in-person visit for many people. Following the assessment, patients receive a detailed report that they can share with other medical professionals and use to make brainhealthy lifestyle choices. Results from the BCAT® can tell people with approximately 95 percent probability if they have normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment or dementia. The test can also predict whether individuals will be able to live independently, or if they will need assistance with certain tasks. This information is vital for both patients and families as they work to plan ahead for the future. Go to enrichvisits. com to learn more or schedule. If a patient wants a thorough, in-person evaluation, they can visit a geriatric psychiatrist or neuropsychologist. While it can be difficult to locate specialists and get on their schedule, there are options 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

MEMORY CARE available. In the Mid-Atlantic region, individuals can visit local offices like CounterPoint Health Services that can offer in-person evaluations (counterpointhealthservices.com). 4. Prevent – Prevention is ALWAYS the best medicine, but how do you prevent cognitive decline? The answer is simple, but the implementation is hard. “I always tell people to move their bodies, work their minds and to be social,” said Dr. Mansbach. “It’s pretty straightforward.” He also emphasized that there are proven tools to enhance memory and cognition, especially working memory exercises. Maintaining a healthy weight and keeping blood pressure in check are also essential to a healthy brain as you age. There are lots of free tools available online to help individuals exercise their brains. The ENRICH® brain health website also hosts a free online calculator that helps individuals evaluate if they are taking the right steps now to avoid dementia later. It is available at enrichvisits.com.

5. Treat – The first step in any treatment plan should be assessment. Whether it is a free, online selfassessment, a virtual professional assessment, or an in-person specialist visit, if you or a loved one is experiencing any of the signs or symptoms of dementia or cognitive impairment, you should consider an assessment. The only way to treat any type of cognitive impairment is under the care and supervision of a medical professional.

Understanding Dementia

Terminology, Resources, and Assistance for Families According to the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2021, from 1999-2019, there was an astonishing 88 percent increase in the U.S. mortality rate from Alzheimer’s. Globally, there are more than 350,000 new cases of early onset (prior to age 65) dementia per year, and that number continues to grow. Digital Discussion on Dementia Positive Aging Sourcebook hosts weekly Digital Discussions on a diverse array of positive aging topics. These free events bring together senior-serving professionals, older adults, and family members to discuss important and timely aging topics. During Sourcebook’s recent Digital Discussion on Early Onset Dementia, we welcomed Lindsey Vajpeyi, the director of early-stage dementia programs at Insight Memory Care

Center in Fairfax, Va. Below are the audience’s questions and Lindsey’s answers, edited for length and clarity.

have some cognitive changes that are identifiable by professional testing, but they are still able to complete daily tasks—they may just need more time.

Questions, Answers, Resources Q: Can you define the distinct levels of cognitive impairment?

Lindsey: Yes! Dementia is a very general word that we use to describes changes in cognition that are more severe than what would be considered normal aging. Dementia interferes with daily life. It’s not forgetting your keys once in a while; it’s consistently forgetting dates or having trouble completing daily tasks. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, but there are other lesser-known types. There is also mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, which is the middle of the road between normal aging and dementia. People with MCI

Our Experts, Our Family

Q: If I think mom (or dad) has some form of dementia, what should I do? Where do I start?

Lindsey: You will want to determine if this is just a normal part of aging or if it is dementia or mild cognitive impairment. The first step is to schedule a visit with your loved one’s primary care physician. While this might eventually lead to a referral to a neurologist, the primary care physician is the best place to start, and they will review everything from blood work to medication interactions to determine what is really happening. They will rule out other possibilities before they start to look at dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Lindsey: There actually are some options. At Insight Memory Care Center, we provide consultations free of charge to anybody, anywhere. We are a nonprofit adult day health and resource center focusing on Alzheimer’s disease and other memory impairments. Beyond free consultations, Insight also has lots of resources available on our website at insightmcc.org. The Alzheimer’s Association provides a wealth of information free of charge at alz.org. They host support groups as well. In Northern Virginia, Elderlink provides free consultations and can help you learn more about local resources. If you are not local, you should visit Eldercare Locator at eldercare.acl. gov to find resources anywhere in the

country. Likewise, no matter where you or your loved one live, contact your local Area Agency on Aging for resources. Adult day care is a crucial resource for family caregivers. Most counties offer some form of adult day care for older adults with dementia. Families contribute to the cost of care on a sliding scale. Independent non-profit organizations like Insight also offer financial assistance to help cover the costs of adult day care for low-income families.

them if they are seeing something that concerns them. Q: What is the one thing you wish care partners or those with a recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis knew?

Lindsey: Most of all, I wish families and individuals with a diagnosis knew to start asking questions and talking sooner. I hear so often from families that they wish they had known about a program or resource years ago. Many families wish they had talked more to Dad about how he wanted to be cared for while he was still capable of having the conversation. So, my words of wisdom are really: start talking and keep talking. These conversations will be uncomfortable, but they need to happen before they can’t happen.

Q: How do I monitor my own behavior?

Lindsey: I think one of the most important things anyone can do is to start a conversation with their doctors and the people they interact with on a regular basis. Let people around you know that you want to hear from

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?

Can the Right Care Help Slow the Progression of Alzheimer’s? Nexus® at Silverado is showing it may be possible A non-drug approach focusing on lifestyle, Nexus is Silverado’s evidence-based brain health program.

HOSPICE CARE

SPECIALIZED CARE

End-of-Life Healthcare Approximately 80 percent of Americans would prefer to die at home, according to Stanford School of Medicine. Despite this, only 20 percent of Americans actually die at home —while 60 percent die in acute care hospitals and 20 percent in nursing homes. The high number of deaths in intensive care units and institutional settings is largely due to the medical system’s default tendency to try to “cure” terminally ill patients, even when they have incurable, irreversible diseases. As a result, many people endure needless suffering at life’s end, and their agonizing, prolonged deaths traumatize their loved ones. But there are options for terminally ill adults who don’t want to suffer and value quality of life over quantity of life. Terminally ill patients with a prognosis of six months or less to live are eligible for free hospice and comfort care benefits under Medicare and Medicaid. Hospice

and palliative care relieve suffering for some terminally ill patients, but when they don’t, there is an additional option called “medical aid in dying.” “Hospice and palliative care often work wonders, but contrary to popular belief, they do not relieve every patient’s suffering,” said Donna Smith, Compassion & Choices State Director of Advocacy for Maryland and DC. “Medical aid in dying allows patients to have the voluntary option to request a doctor’s prescription for medication they can decide to take—if and when their suffering becomes unbearable—so they can die peacefully in their sleep, at home, surrounded by their loved ones.” Medical aid in dying is available for mentally capable, terminally ill adults with a medical prognosis of six months or less to live in the District of Columbia and ten states (Maryland and Virginia have introduced similar legislation). Having end-of-life care options can provide comfort to terminally

Did You Know? Recent studies show pain and suffering at the end of life is at an all-time high. Free Education on Healthcare Options at End of Life Started by nurse/physician assistant who worked in emergency rooms and intensive care for 25 years, Compassion & Choices is a national nonprofit dedicated to expanding and improving healthcare options at the end of life. We offer free resources to educate individuals and families about all end-of-life care options including advanced healthcare directives, dementia and other options to relieve suffering, including comfort and hospice care, and the option in Washington, D.C. of medical aid in dying to peacefully end suffering. Maryland and Virginia have introduced pro medical aid in dying bills Medical aid in dying is a compassionate medical practice supported by numerous national healthcare groups. It has been safely practiced for over 40+ combined years in 10 states and Washington DC.

SPECIALIZED CARE

HOSPICE 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 and counseling from the hospice professionals.

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

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 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.

conversations between terminally ill adults, their loved ones, physicians and religious/spiritual advisers about all end-of-life care options, including hospice and palliative care. It is important to note that this is completely voluntary for the patient, doctors and pharmacists. Of surveyed Marylanders, 57 percent said they personally “would want the option of medical aid in dying” if they “had an incurable, terminal illness, still had a sound mind, had less than six months to live and met the legal requirements,” according to a poll of 807 registered voters conducted by Gonzales Research and Media Services in December 2021. Nearly 70 percent of those polled supported the option of medical aid in dying for Marylanders.

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? 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. Many providers offer assistance with the activities of daily living including eating, walking, toileting and medication management. They also generally offer a diverse schedule of activities including exercise programs. Villages are communities where residents work together to afford older adults the opportunity to remain in their homes as they age. Older adults receive volunteer support that allows them to maintain their independence. All residents benefit from 800-394-9990 | positiveagingsourcebook.com

VILLAGES

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

Villages provide intergenerational connections and vital support for older residents.

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 groups, knitting clubs, guest speaker events, group outings and so much more. 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 residents of the community. The residents are people who have a vision for an improved quality of life for all. Every new Village starts with a vision and with a dedicated core of individuals ready and willing to make that vision a reality.

Empowered and Engaged Shepherd’s Centers keep older adults connected A ride to a medical appointment. An interesting class. A meaningful volunteer opportunity. These might not sound related, but they are all essential elements to happy and healthy aging. And they are all offered by the Shepherd’s Centers of America Network. Shepherd’s Centers of America promotes aging well in the community by providing lifelong learning, volunteer service, healthy living, and community engagement opportunities for older adults. There are currently 55 community-based Shepherd’s Centers in 17 states, including five in Northern Virginia (see sidebar for locations and contact information). The national network of centers provides services ranging from free transportation and friendly visits to respite care and learning opportunities to more than 165,000 older adults and their families—all at no cost to the participants. Volunteers are the backbone of the centers—making the mission possible. A Rich, 50-Year History While the centers all provide vital support to older adults, the individual program offerings are as diverse as the populations served. “We’re so proud of the fact that no two Shepherd’s Centers are exactly alike,” said Shepherd’s Centers of America Executive Director Sarah Cheney. “Each center is designed by, with, and for older adults, based on their needs and interests.”

A Methodist minister named Elbert Cole founded the first Shepherd’s Center in 1972 in Kansas City, MO. The concept quickly grew and Cole established Shepherd’s Centers of America in 1974 to further connect more older adults to meaningful and enriching opportunities. He identified several shared values that still influence the work of Shepherd’s Centers today including wellness, inclusion, and giving back to society. “I think our history is important because it highlights the essential principles that still guide us today: empowerment and inclusion,”

explained Cheney. “These were pretty radical concepts back in 1974, and they are still pertinent today.” Shepherd’s Centers are not associated with the Methodist church. They are interfaith or no faith organizations and proselytizing is strictly prohibited.

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, and some we really adore—like all the shrimp dishes!”

A dietician carefully reviews the menu to ensure it provides balanced nutrition and meets all restrictions. Kim explained that after meeting with clients to learn about their dietary needs and taste preferences, she builds a custom menu.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Hearing is Believing Acccording to the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), nationwide relay services were first required by the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. Relay services enable people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have a speech impairment, to communicate via telephone with a person who can hear. States implement their own individual programs and services vary from state to state.

How do relay services work?

Most states offer traditional relay services and other accommodations. To make a call using relay services, users simply pick up the phone and dial 7-1-1. After dialing, users are automatically connected to a communications assistant. It is important to note that relay service users who are experiencing an emergency should still dial 911 directly.

What types of relay services are available? Traditional relay services are also referred to as TTY. A TTY has a keyboard, which allows the user to type their side of the conversation, and a text screen to read the other person’s responses. After the TTY user types their side of the conversation,

an operator reads the text to the other person. As the other person speaks in response, the operator types the spoken words, so the TTY user can read them on their device screen. Using Hearing Carry-Over (HCO), users who can hear but have difficulty speaking or being understood over the telephone are able to type their side of the conversation, which is then voiced to the other participant by the operator. Speech-to-Speech (STS) is a similar service that assists individuals who have mild to moderate difficulty speaking and can hear clearly on the phone. Users speak with their own voice or with an assistive device and the operator re-voices what is said, as needed. This service may be particularly helpful for people living with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and other conditions. Using Voice Carry-Over (VCO),

Have confidence

IN EVERY CONVERSATION. Do phone calls ever sound muffled or hard to follow? Captioned Telephone can help! Similar to a standard telephone— but with one big difference—a Captioned Telephone displays captions of your conversations so that you can listen to what is being spoken, while reading captions on the device’s screen. As a service of Maryland Relay, Captioned Telephones can be purchased directly from a third-party provider. You can find more information at mdrelay.org. The Maryland Accessible Telecommunications (MAT) program also offers Captioned Telephones, provided by the State, to those who qualify. The MAT program includes a variety of equipment options to support clearer communication, including amplified phones. Visit our website to see if you or a loved one qualify for no cost assistive equipment through the MAT program. CapTel ® is a registered trademark of Ultratec, Inc.

Home Care

Receive assistance at home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care includes companion care, home healthcare or skilled nursing care. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of the tasks that family members would

typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of 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. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exercises, housekeeping,

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.

Planning for Care at Home by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff

CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care Association™ Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy

If you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home. What if You Become Homebound? If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life Care Manager™ can help you access

licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and discharge planner if you are in the hospital or a nursing facility and need to decide on and plan for services in your home once you are discharged. However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services.” You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A

physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety. Accessing services These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health agency certified to provide Medicarereimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospital-based organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization.

Other Home Care Services Many other care services are provided in the home but are not licensed or paid for by Medicare. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you understand what they can offer, access reputable services, and monitor them on an on-going basis. Non-Medical Aides, Companions and Homemakers There are many types of paid care giving services available— often called non-medical aides, companions and homemakers—who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes,

and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability insurance and is responsible for all employment taxes and employee bonding. An Aging Life Care Manager

can help you find a reputable agency and get important questions answered, such as: do they check police and driver license records; do they provide supervision; how do they handle cancellations; and how long have they been in business?

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. Finding the Best Physician The following questions are important to ask any physician

at the local facility? • 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.

offering to come to your home: • Is the physician who owns your medical group present every day

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.

HOME CARE

Are You Lonely? by Mary Ann Buckley, LCSW-C, C-ASWCM As a Care Manager and Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience, I have conducted a myriad of assessments and have asked many questions over the years. Yet, it wasn’t until I read John T. Cacioppo’s and William Patrick’s book Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection that I realized I needed to add this critical question to my assessments. Are you lonely? I decided to plunge into the topic of loneliness in older adults and was intrigued by studies both in the United States and in other countries. The research is clear that older adults are experiencing loneliness and the negative impact that it can have on their medical and mental health at pandemic proportions. One study on loneliness found that

time spent with a friend, neighbor or peer was more enjoyable than time spent with family. Sadly, the value of meaningful interpersonal connection is often minimized in our society. The consequence of loneliness is striking. Older adults who report being lonely are more likely to go into a nursing home, have more difficulties with the activities of daily living, and experience more rapid progression of Alzheimer’s. Undoubtedly, these studies on loneliness can assist us in creating solutions, programs, services and environments to alleviate loneliness in older adults. Inspired by the work of Cacioppo and Patrick along with these studies, I created a presentation on the topic: One Really is the Loneliest Number! The presentation covers three

Social Work CEUs and focuses on how to identify, assess and alleviate the negative impacts of loneliness in older adults. Loneliness is preventable. Prevention requires not only asking the question but also devising a plan to alleviate the loneliness. As Care Managers, we are uniquely qualified to create care plans and solutions to reduce the impact of loneliness. These care plans are individualized to meet the unique needs and circumstances of each client. As care managers, we work with our clients to begin the process of transforming a situation or circumstance that negatively impacts their life by helping to envision what life would be like by accomplishing a change. Imagine a life without loneliness.

Choosing Home Care

Use these questions to interview providers: How long has this provider been serving the community? How does this provider select and train its employees? Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? 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? 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.

Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? 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?

As the other person responds, an operator types the response and the VCO user reads it on the screen of their phone. Another option for individuals who have difficulty hearing over the phone is a Captioned Telephone. A Captioned Telephone works just like a standard phone, with one important difference: it displays captions on the device’s screen of what the other person says throughout the conversation. For clarity, the Captioned Telephone user can read the captions while listening to the other person’s spoken words. For Spanish speakers, Spanish Relay is available for all the aforementioned services. For users who want to enjoy

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 2019, ombudsman programs investigated more than 198,000 complaints and provided information on long-term care to another 425,000 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? An Ombudsman can offer advice on housing and help with complaint counseling, negotiations, investigations and resolutions.

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

In fact, a Shepherd’s Center is often described as a “center without walls.” Shepherd’s Centers create relationships that bind society together and empower individuals to take on new challenges, learn new skills, make new friends, and serve others. Shepherd’s Centers are open to all older adults, regardless of income. There is no membership fee. Shepherd’s Centers also frequently partner with other organizations or county provided aging services, such as Meals on Wheels, to better serve low-income older adults.

ADULT DAY CENTERS & SERVICES

AGING IN PLACE

Adult Day Care Providing socialization and care Adult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers, as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a Provider After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff-to-participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific

Choosing an Adult Day Center Use this checklist to review options

How many years has the center been in operation? Is the center licensed, certified or accredited? What are the days and hours of operation? If needed, is assistance provided with eating, toileting and dispensing medication? What types of activities are provided? Do participants help plan activities? Are meals or snacks provided? Can special dietary needs be accommodated? Do participants have individual service plans? How often are they updated? What is the staff-to-participant ratio? What type of training do staff members receive? Are fees charged hourly, daily or monthly? What will the total fee be for services? How are payments accepted? Is a deposit required? Is financial assistance available?

costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, staff members should be able to

provide clear and easy-to-understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step in the decision-making process. Source www.nadsa.org.
