A Welcoming Environment Lida Moser and Leslie Katz are happy to have found a community that makes individuals and their furry companions feel right at home.

By Steve Gurney and Lauren Searson

f you walk into the lobby of the Revitz House in Rockville, Maryland on a typical day, you are sure to see many smiling faces and residents rushing to make their next appointment or activity. What might surprise you, however, is that you are also likely to see a few tails wagging around. This is due to the fact that the independent living residence located on the campus of the nonprofit Charles E. Smith Life Community wholeheartedly embraces the importance of small pets in residents’ lives. Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook was able to catch up with two interesting residents who have thrived in the community with a little help from their “best friends.” Lida Moser A native New Yorker, Lida Moser exudes energy and has a countless supply of stories of her life in New York City. Although she considers herself “a normal child of immigrants,” she was at the epicenter of the New York art scene for over three decades. Referred to as a pioneer in photojournalism and a well-respected photographer, Lida has travelled the world for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and many other magazines in addition to creating a highly-regarded photo documentary assignment throughout Canada. Her travels eventually led her to the Washington, D.C. area. “New York got to be too difficult, too expensive, just too many ‘too’s,’” she says with a laugh. “I wasn’t photographing much anymore, so I thought, ‘What am I living here for?’” Now a resident of Revitz House, she is quick to share how much she loves the surroundings, the staff and her fellow residents along with the countless amenities in the community. In addition she says, “The food is phenomenal.” A HUD-subsidized residence, Revitz House enables individuals to be part of a warm and friendly environment with access to restaurant-style dinners and the security of a personal emergency call system and 24-hour front desk. It is just one of the soon-to-be six residences on the Charles E. Smith Life Communities campus that range in healthcare services from independent and assisted living to outpatient medical care, in-home private duty assistance and outstanding rehabilitation. Revitz House, the Hebrew Home’s Wasserman and Smith-Kogod Residences, Ring

House, Landow House and the Hirsh Health Center will be joined this coming September by the Cohen-Rosen House, an assisted living residence designed to care for individuals with memory issues. “Beginning with the first Hebrew Home in 1910, we have grown, changed and adapted to meet the dynamic and emerging needs in our community,” says Warren R. Slavin, President/CEO. “The move from downtown Washington to the campus in Rockville more than 40 years ago opened the opportunity to expand both in terms of residences and programs, always staying true to our Jewish values. Our goal

A well-respected photographer and pioneer in photojournalism, Lida loves the amenities, surroundings and staff at her community, but she particularly appreciates being able to have her dog, Melissa.

It takes a community. The Charles E. Smith Life Communities brings together multiple living options on one scenic Rockville campus, each with its own, warm personality and specialized culture of caring, wisdom, and experience. In fact, 100 years of experience, dating back to the first Hebrew Home in Washington, DC.

Because Charles E. Smith Life Communities offers choices for independent and assisted living, rehabilitation and recovery, as well as long-term care, its expertise extends across the full spectrum of eldercare services. The campus even includes full-time, on-staff physicians.

is to make life more caring, more vital for that one man, that one woman, that one family.” On the campus is a full-time onsite medical staff that includes physicians skilled in geriatric medicine along with a podiatrist and nurse practitioner who specialize in geriatric care. The community offers person-centered quality care and programs and services that touch so many families, and prides itself on being open to everyone in the greater community. This welcoming nature extends even further, as Lida will happily vouch alongside her trusted companion, a miniature greyhound named Melissa. In addition to the convenience and many offerings at Revitz House, it is clear Melissa has played a vital role in Lida’s happiness and well-being as the duo has been together since 2005. “I love animals and I love nature. I think she’s gorgeous and graceful,” she says. As perhaps expected, Lida willingly admits that she ‘spoils her friend rotten.’ “I’ve been feeding her too much. Her little behind was like nothing when I got her,” she says grinning.

Degrees, lived all over the globe and learned to speak several languages. Her world dramatically changed, however, when she became sick and needed to leave her job and ultimately change the lifestyle she had loved so much. Her condition was very rare, and was undiagnosed for nearly 13 years. Leslie started to modify her lifestyle to accommodate her disability and budget, but after living in New Mexico and Charlottesville, Va., she yearned to return to the D.C. Metropolitan area. While researching options, she learned about the Revitz House, which met her three key requirements: a central location, affordability and, most importantly, it was pet-friendly. Animals have been an important part of Leslie’s life, spanning back to her childhood passion for horseback riding. She refers to her current dog, Comfort, as her “lifeline.” “He’s a much loved dog here and people like having him in the community. He loves to come down to the lobby and see all his friends,” Leslie says with a smile. Now in the “recovery phase” of her illness, Leslie is taking her love for animals one step further by enrolling in a twoyear education program to become a veterinary technician. Although she has a driver’s license, one of the reasons she chose to move to Revitz House is the abundance of public transportation nearby in combination with the community’s complimentary bus transportation for regular trips to shopping and cultural outings. As a result, Leslie enjoys saving money and not having to worry about the other hassles of maintaining a personal vehicle. There will soon be even more advantages, however, for Leslie and her peers to enjoy on the Charles E. Smith Life Communities campus. Over the next several months, the public areas at Revitz House will undergo major renovations and redesign. As for other residences, the Ring House apartments are being upgraded with a fresh new look featuring new baths and kitchens with stainless steel appliances while at the Hebrew Home, the Rakusin Rehab Center will be expanding the size and capabilities of the therapy suite. With these impending changes, a vibrant environment and secure lifestyle, Lida and Leslie could not be more pleased with the choice they have made. Though they have the ability to be mobile and access the many amenities outside their community, it is especially important for these two women to know that when they return, they have two special friends happily waiting for them. “I know that when I go home, he’s waiting for me, and he’s ‘it’ for me,’” Leslie beams.

Leslie Katz Like Lida, Leslie Katz hails from New York, where she was on a fast-track career path. “I had an incredibly fascinating job,” she says. Over the years, Leslie obtained two Masters 30

Caring for a Kind Heart Elizabeth Quinlan feels blessed that her husband Jerry is cared for at the region’s newest state-of- the-art assisted living center for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. By Steve Gurney and Lauren Searson

lizabeth “Liz” Quinlan is a native of Hagerstown, Md. who received her Nursing degrees from Cornell University and University of Pennsylvania. During the Korean War she joined the Air Force as a nurse at Shepherd Air Force Base, where she met New Jersey native Jerry. Although they met in 1952, the couple did not get married until 1968. Liz recounted the story of when the “romance got started.” “Both my parents were very ill and, since my father was born in Greece, Jerry came up on Greek Easter with this beautiful tray of all these food specialties he’d gotten at a Greek restaurant in Washington,” she said. “He was so kind and he said, ‘You know, Liz, I know both your parents have been ill and you’re tied down. I’ll look after them this afternoon and you can go and visit some friends or whatever you want to do.’ Of course I didn’t go, but I was just sort of overwhelmed that anybody would be that kind. And that’s really the essence of Jerry, that he’s always been so kind to everybody.” After they married, the couple settled down to focus on their careers, hobbies and travels. Several years into their retirement, Liz noticed Jerry’s behavior started becoming slightly erratic. It was particularly evident the day Jerry approached her and asked how she felt about giving up their car. Actually grateful since it left them with unnecessary expenses, she told him that would be fine. Then according to Liz, Jerry responded saying, “Well I think I’m going to do it because I get lost coming home.” Similar incidents led the couple to see a physician. When the diagnosis revealed Jerry had dementia, Liz made sure to help and care for him at home. “I really wasn’t able to talk about it,” she said. During a trip to the dentist, she found a magazine article describing a drug that helps Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Liz then approached the receptionist asking if she could make a copy of it, revealing that Jerry had Alzheimer’s. “When I finally said it, the tears started to come and I couldn’t stop crying,” she said. That conversation opened the door to her discovering a vast amount of resources at IONA Senior Services. Liz learned about their renowned Adult Day Health Care Center and support groups, where Jerry thrived and eventually participated five days a week. As his condition progressed, it was clear that he was going to need more assistance, so Liz began to look at their options. “The Methodist Home of Washington, D.C. had the

best reputation for nursing care, so that was the first place I went,” she said. At her first meeting, she learned the Methodist Home was building a brand new community in Chevy Chase, D.C. called Forest Side that would be exclusively devoted to Alzheimer’s and memory-related disorders. After visiting a few other options, she was excited for Jerry to become one of Forest Side’s first residents and filled out an application. Today, Jerry is in the hands of compassionate caregivers and staff, leaving Liz much more confident about his wellbeing. The state-of-the-art community features four “neighborhoods” within the building. The focus of the caregiver for each neighborhood at Forest Side is to be engaged with the residents in all aspects of their day, from dining and afternoon teas to activities and neighborhood strolls. According to Liz, Jerry has “deluxe accommodations” at

“The essence of Jerry is that he’s always been so kind to everybody,” said Elizabeth Quinlan of her husband of 43 years, whom she met at Shepherd Air Force Base during the Korean War.

Although Elizabeth initially cared for Jerry when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he eventually needed more assistance, so she moved him to Forest Side where she is confident about his wellbeing knowing he is in the hands of compassionate caregivers.

Forest Side and she was able to bring many of their treasured items to decorate his spacious apartment. She has also enjoyed spending time with him on her visits in one of the several tastefully-decorated rooms throughout the community. The philosophy at Forest Side is that each resident’s interests are respected and taken into consideration regardless of their cognitive ability. Alexis McKenzie, the community’s executive director, said, “We look at the likes and dislikes of the resident and do our best to build their life around those

preferences. We interview each of the families, like the Quinlans, and we found out that Jerry had written a book. It is through this time spent with the family and resident that we gain firsthand knowledge of the gifts and talents each individual brings to the table.” Along with this individualized support, the trained staff understands the challenges of memory loss and has great sensitivity for their residents and families. They encourage and understand each resident, assisting them to make every opportunity as successful as possible. This care and attention at Forest Side extends beyond just the residents’ needs as Liz has learned during particularly emotional visits. “When the tears come, the staff will be right there to help and comfort me. They could not be kinder to us,” she said. Although the challenges they face can be frustrating, Liz shared some words of wisdom for others in this situation. “When you look around the world, you see the poverty and the problems so many people have. I look at the wonderful care Jerry gets at Forest Side and I think that I’m blessed.”

Living in the Moment While sharing the unique stories of their past, the Macdonells are enjoying the many perks of a community that offers them security for their future. By Steve Gurney and Lauren Searson

“T

his community is filled with interesting people who have lived all over the world. The stories here are amazing,” said Reverend Dr. James (“Jim”) Macdonell while sitting alongside his wife, Nancy, in their spacious apartment at Ingleside at King Farm in Rockville, Md. Jim, however, has a few interesting stories to share himself. The noted cartoonist and artist was an organizing pastor at Saint Mark Presbyterian Church in Bethesda in the 1960s, which put him in the center of the Civil Rights movement. In fact, he was directly involved in the historic 1963 March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his infamous speech. He was also among the first to respond to Dr. King’s request for American clergy members to march in Selma, Al. It was Nancy’s background, though, that led them to begin researching senior living communities. “My parents had signed up for a retirement community in Kansas 15 years before they actually moved,” she said. “When they did, my mother had dementia and osteoporosis and just wasn’t in any shape to do anything; my Dad was, but he was taking care of her.” As a result, the Macdonells knew not to put off their decision since they wanted the time to be active and enjoy themselves when they moved. Fortunately, Jim’s role as a pastor had enabled him to visit several communities in the Washington, D.C. area. The couple’s main priority was to focus their search only on those that could offer a full range of healthcare services, from independent living to skilled nursing care, onsite. “It just did not make any sense not to move to a place that didn’t offer continuing care,” said Jim. As they reviewed their options, it was Ingleside at King Farm, a nonprofit community under development at the time that made the top of their list. “We would be close to the Metro and there are some good stores here within walking distance,” said Jim. King Farm’s convenient location would also enable them to remain connected to the greater community and their outside interests while being an hour-drive from their weekend cottage in Shepherdstown, WV. Without hesitation, the grandparents-of-eight signed up and selected their apartment. “We watched the whole building go up and it was fun to watch,” said Jim. This gave the couple time to ease into the downsizing process, and with

Although Jim and Nancy Macdonell have a weekend cottage in Shepherdstown, WV, they are often anxious to return to Ingleside at King Farm, where they have established new friendships and are maintaining busy schedules.

the help of a senior move manager, they moved in with boxes gone, pictures hung and the bed made. Now fully settled in at King Farm, the Macdonells could not be happier. As Jim said, “It is literally like going on a cruise without a ship, because it’s so fun. The services are great and they take very good care of us.” In addition to having a staff that is flexible and focused on residents’ needs, the couple has enjoyed establishing new friendships and maintaining a busy schedule. With a fitness center, indoor heated pool, dance classes, creative writing workshops, beautiful walking grounds, movies and a library, there is never a dull moment for individuals at King Farm. While Nancy continues working, the couple also finds time to attend the community trips to Strathmore Hall and the Kennedy Center. No matter their outside pursuits, however, there really is no place like King Farm for the Macdonells, where they enjoy living in the moment and having peace of mind for their future. “When we go on a trip, we’re anxious to come home. This is home,” said Jim.

It was this same foundation that led to the addition of Arleigh Burke and the community’s third unit, The Sylvestery, which is also open to the non-military community and provides assisted living to individuals with memory impairment. As residents throughout Vinson Hall enjoy extensive amenities and beautiful surroundings, they look forward to even more changes in the summer of 2014 when 75 new independent living luxury apartment homes will be added along with a new community center featuring a bistro, library, convenience store, auditorium and classrooms. In addition to these perks and the quality care, what has been particularly important for Helen is the staff’s effort to embrace and celebrate each resident’s unique interests. John Shorty, Arleigh Burke’s social services coordinator, said, “I recognized in Helen a very outstanding woman who had a lot of background in classical music.” She made such an impression that John invited her to lead a music appreciation group for other residents. “Helen’s life has revolved around music,” he said. He also learned one of her favorite amenities at the community is its public broadcasting station, Classical WETA 90.9 FM. “I must confess that it keeps me up late at night, because I get so engrossed in the wonderful music that the

hours just fly by,” she said with a smile. For the staff, Helen could not be more of a perfect fit at Arleigh Burke and the Vinson Hall community. “She is just constantly out and about at programs that we offer here and she has a wonderful spirit and a zest for life,” said John. “My advice to others is always get involved and join things,” Helen added. It is not just the residents, however, that embody this spirit of getting involved. In coordination with the Wounded Warrior Project, the community will within the next year become one of the few CCRCs in the nation offering Transitional Housing to Wounded Warriors. With a supportive home that shares her personal philosophy and allows her to inspire others with her love of music, it may be safe to say that for Helen, life at Arleigh Burke has been “like a song.”

he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs.

Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members.

HOW TO

utilize real estate transactions

transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices

or those who have been in their homes for several years, relocating presents challenges far beyond the physical demands of carrying boxes and arranging furniture. These individuals may also face difficult emotional and financial decisions during the moving process. Preparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving, and setting up the new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing.

Step One: Preparing to sell or buy It is important that homeowners select a real estate agent who can meet their distinctive needs. The emergence of specialized real estate designations has made the process of choosing an agent easier. Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES) are licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to

When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney make take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence. What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse.

HOW TO

find an elder law attorney

utilize your resources and ask the right questions

he most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Whether you get a referral or try someone new, keep your opinions open to change. A friend may have had a good experience, but your case is different and you need to decide for yourself.

HOW TO

discuss billing methods

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

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

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

HOW TO

prepare legal documents

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

preferences, and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals, or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any

medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink, or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

HOW TO

manage your estate

how an executor can help you An executor is the person or corporate fiduciary (trust company) that is appointed under your will to manage your estate after you die. The executor will: n offer your will to the court for probate; n marshal your assets; n fi le an inventory of your assets with the court; n pay all debts, expenses of administration, and taxes; and n sell any property that must be sold to put the estate in a position to be closed. The executor will petition the court to make an order to distribute your estate. During the probate of your estate, the executor has the duty to account for the financial transactions of the estate and to keep the court and the beneficia-

HOW TO

ensure a positive relationship with an attorney

communication is key Get Everything in Writing Once you decide to hire an attorney ask that your arrangement be put in writing. This agreement can be recorded in the form of a letter or formal contract. It should specifically define what services the attorney will perform for you and the fees that will be assessed for the attorney’s services. If your agreement remains oral and is not put into writing, you have still made a contract and are responsible for all fees assessed by the attorney and his/her staff. Make It a Good Experience A positive and open relationship between attorney and client benefits both parties. The key to a successful client/attorney relationship is communication. The questions on page 39 will help you develop

If you take the time to make sure that you are comfortable with your attorney you will make this a productive experience for both you and the attorney.

a successful relationship with your attorney. Use the answers to these questions as a guide to determine the attorney’s qualifications and also to determine whether you

can comfortably work with the attorney. If your concerns are not addressed, if you don’t like the answers to these questions, if you don’t like the attorney’s responses, or if you simply do not feel relaxed with the attorney do not make an agreement for services with he/she. If you are satisfied with the attorney you have hired you will trust him or her to do the best job for you. Only if you have established a relationship of open communication will you be able to resolve any difficulties which may arise between the two of you. If you take the time to make sure that you are comfortable with your attorney you will make this a productive experience for both you and the attorney.

oston native Vera Berne worked in different mental health settings in Washington, D.C. after moving to the nation’s capital in 1943. As a respected diagnostician, teacher and mentor to a number of mental health professionals, she helped several individuals throughout her career that spanned over 50 years. Now, at the age of 90, Vera has been needing assistance herself and is glad to have found a trusted daily money manger. Over the course of her career, Vera never emphasized private practice feeling it was too isolating in terms of her capacity to effect change. Above all, she said she stressed the importance of distrusting simple answers and instead dealing with complexity in the area of human behavior. After the passing of her husband, the

nature of her work extended to a broader field as she did international consulting, establishing relationships in Europe. “I had the great opportunity to meet some extraordinarily gifted people from whom I did learn much,” she said. According to Vera, her profession was interrupted almost overnight when she lost the capacity to read over two years ago because of a physical change in the structure of her eye. As her eyesight continued to diminish, she found it impossible to operate independently with certain tasks such as money management. Fortunately, she was connected to Kate Finan of Finan Financial Care, LLC, who has specialized in the daily money management needs of seniors in the area since 1993. When Kate visits Vera, they consider the priority of items such as paying bills and making donations to charities; reconciling

the checkbook; and reviewing and making decisions on how to respond to a fairly large volume of mail. Vera has also appreciated the focus on her need for legal help as they have established a will and other important documents. “She has been great in helping me organize the practical aspects of my life under the condition of diminished sight; she acts as an alter ego,” said Vera. She also said she has found a connection with Kate as far as her capacity to see the complexity of what Vera has to deal with beyond simple solutions. “In this relationship with Kate, what is paramount is the mutual recognition that the problem is not in a loss of mental capacity but rather in the capacity to deal with practical everyday problems,” said Vera. “Without her help, I would have been stressed and unable to manage my current life.”

are you eligible for a reverse mortgage? Several criteria must be met before a consumer is eligible for a reverse mortgage. Potential borrowers must be at least 62 years of age and live in their own home. Borrowers must also own their homes outright or have significant equity in their homes. Individuals with remaining balances on a first or second mortgage may be eligible for a reverse mortgage, but those will have to be paid off with the proceeds from the reverse mortgage first. Singlefamily homes, manufactured homes, condominiums, and townhomes are eligible

properties. There are no income, credit, or employment requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage. The amount a borrower receives is dependent on age, interest rates, and the overall value of their home. Older borrowers will generally receive more than younger borrowers, and home values are a major factor in determining the payout amount of the loan. Borrowers are required to meet with a reverse mortgage counselor before obtaining a loan. Counselors are indepen-

dent professionals who provide education about the mortgages and can suggest other alternatives. For a list of counseling agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, visit www.hud.gov or call (800) 569-4287. For more information, visit the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association’s (NRMLA) website at www.reversemortgage.org or the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development’s website at www.hud.gov.

HOW TO

find care management

those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it. With the complex maze of resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved ones are primary candidates for geriatric care managers. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropri-

ate without causing undo stress. Instead of waiting for a crisis situation, you may want to turn to a GCM earlier, so that there are more options available. What Can a GCM Do for Me? COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. Utilizing their professional backgrounds and experience, care managers are able to perform an unbiased evaluation of the client’s mental, physical, social, financial, and legal functioning. RECOMMENDATIONS. After determining what services would be helpful for the well-being of the individual, the GCM can recommend providers who will best meet the family’s needs. Familiar with industry standards, they routinely make recommendations for all levels of care. COUNSELING. The counseling that

Helping Seniors for Over 30 Years

GCMs can provide helps clients and their families handle the emotional stress involved with these decisions. They provide the family with information about the illness or challenge that the client faces and the available resources. MEDIATION. GCMs can also negotiate family dynamics, helping to sort out all of the various concerns that have resulted from the challenge of caring for a loved one. FOLLOW-UP VISITS. GCMs are generally involved in the implementation of the care plan. This typically includes follow-up visits to the individual’s home or facility a couple of times a week shortly after implementation and quarterly thereafter. Some clients are visited once a week for the duration of their services. Visit caremanager.org for more information.

HOW TO

consider a gcm and costs

finding the right care manager and discussing fees When considering a GCM, take into account their professional standing, as well as their personality and how comfortable they make their clients. Although there is no official licensure process for care managers, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM) has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as GCM referrals can be obtained at www.caremanager.org. How Much Will It Cost? According to the NAPGCM website, there are many different ways of charging fees and each PGCM works differently. You will need to know how often s/he bills. Some PGCMs bill weekly, some bill monthly, some bill upon completion of

work. Ask about these matters at the initial conference and ask for them in writing, so there will be no surprises. If you don’t understand, ask again. If you need clarification, say so. It is very important that you feel comfortable regarding your financial obligations. In addition to fees, most PGCMs will charge for out-of-pocket expenses, which may include charges for mileage, care giving supplies, long-distance telephone calls, etc. Find out if there will be any other incidental costs. There may also be additional fees if outside professionals are called into the case. It is imperative that the PGCM receives approval to bring others in before the situation arises, if at all possible. As mentioned on the NAPGCM website, be

Individualized Services for the Elderly and Disabled

sure to discuss and make sure you have all questions answered before proceeding with an agreement for services. You should expect a written agreement including fees before the commencement of services. As fees for a GCM range, check with your Medicare office to see if you are eligible for subsidies. The average time required by a client is four hours. After spending a couple of hours completing a comprehensive evaluation of the client, the GCM then spends a few more hours researching and discussing options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan.

G e r i at r i c C a r e M a n ag e m e n t Questions To Ask When Looking For a Professional Geriatric Care Manager Professional Geriatric Care Managers have diverse experience, education, and backgrounds. Many are licensed in their state in specific fields (such as nursing or social work). Geriatric Care Managers do not specialize in all areas. When a Geriatric Care Manager says s/he practices “care management,” find out her/his areas of expertise. You will want to hire someone who regularly handles clients with similar needs.

It is important for the wise consumer to ask questions. Some of these include: 1. What are your professional credentials? 2. Are you licensed in your profession? 3. Are you a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers? 4. How long have you been providing care management services? 5. Are you available for emergencies? 6. Does your company also provide home care services? 7. How do you communicate information to me? 8. What are your fees? (These should be provided to the consumer/responsible party in writing prior to services starting.) 9. Can you provide me with references?

Information from the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers. For additional resources and information, visit www.caremanager.org.

Golden Pond ElderCare Strategies

WHEN IS IT TIME TO ASK FOR HELP? • When your older loved ones need help, where do you turn? • Are they eating well? • Are they taking their medications correctly? • Can they stay at home with the help of a caregiver? • Is it time to transition to long-term care?

Call Cathy Lonas, RN, BSN, MSBA, for a heartfelt discussion to learn how the geriatric care management services of Advocate 360, LLC can help solve difficult challenges and provide peace-of-mind. Serving seniors throughout Montgomery County, Maryland & families around the world. 62

Resolving Communication Breakdowns When it comes to the different challenges associated with caring for a loved one, poor communication is often at the root of the problem. You can take comfort in the fact that there are others who have grappled with the very same issues and who can share their mistakes and solutions. These individuals can be found through support groups, your employer’s human resources department, or even just asking trusted friends and neighbors.

Seeking Assistance Employee Assistance Programs, often known as EAPs, are a service put in place by most mid-sized and large employers. These programs usually have resources available to help both employees and their families through eldercare challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.

Seeking Objectivity Sometimes an objective third party’s opinion is beneficial when you are faced with a personal family problem. Mediation professionals specialize in resolving conflicts, making compromises and leading family members through the communication process. One unique feature of this process is the non-judgmental mediator, who is skilled in improving communication among the family members. Seeking Support Attending support group meetings will allow you to meet with like-minded people, share similar scenarios, confide in each other and build healthy camaraderie. Furthermore, important resources can be shared and solutions from experienced members will abound. Seeking Advocates When it comes to a breakdown in communication between residents and communities, ombudsman are available to advocate on behalf of the residents’ rights. This national program is a great solution as the ombudsman will investigate any complaints and determine what appropriate action should be taken.

ness and conscientious care of geriatric patients. Proper patient care requires a thorough evaluation of the patient and diligent coordination of services with the home health agency. Legitimate medical groups have a reputation for making decisions based on the best interests of the patient. Call your local home health agency or speak with a home care nurse and ask: “What is this physician's reputation for the quality of care?” According to Dappen, there are sources on the web that provide evaluations and written commentaries. “Paidfor websites have a little more methodology behind obtaining that data,” he says. “The Virginia Board of Medicine website allows all consumers to see any physicians who have a claim against them or any type of disciplinary action.” Dappen also recommends asking nurses and surgeons who often work around potential physicians. “What is always a good question is ‘If it was your

loved one, who would you pick?’” he says. Taking note of the physician-owner presence is also key when recognizing high-standard medical groups. The physician registered as owning the group should be present every day or have hired a medical director to be present in his/her place. The medical group should have membership in the AAHCP. Not only must the house call physician be a current member, but he/she should follow the AAHCP's "Principles of Medical Ethics." About the AAHCP Community standards are rising as increasing numbers of high-quality physicians are offering house calls. The AAHCP has published home care ethical guidelines and developed standards for credentialing physician home care medical practices. With the academy’s volunteers consistently working to enhance practice education, they have provided this community with differ-

ent useful publications. Its members now include home care physicians and individuals who can either act as home health agency medical directors or offer referrals to such agencies. Their specialties include internal medicine; family practice; pediatrics; and geriatrics, among others. The AAHCP office can be reached at 410-676-7966. The AAHCP 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 AAHCP does not check the compliance of its members with licensing, billing, or other regulatory requirements. It cannot attest to the qualifications and billing practices of individual physicians. Therefore, users should obtain information about licensure, qualifications, and billing from the physicians and groups themselves.

technology to the rescue keep in contact with family and emergency services

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

is routed to the response center where the needs and budget constraints before decidcaller is identified through special coding. ing on any one system.

Home for all Generations

Universal Design creates spaces designed for convenience, safety and economy Baby boomers are the generation of choice, and when it comes to their retirement needs, they plan to do things their way. In fact, a recent AARP survey examining the opinions of Americans over the age of 45 found that the majority of them plan to stay in their current residence for as long as possible. Combine this information with the Center for Disease Control’s findings that falls are the leading cause of injury or death among people 65 years and older, and that 60 percent of these fatal falls happen at home. It’s no wonder that there is a growing trend among home builders and remodelers to create “universal design” living spaces. Universal design homes need to accommodate occupants with decreased health, vision, mobility, hearing, dexterity and income. There are a number of ways that new houses can be designed, or existing houses can be remodeled, to make life easier for

people with such limitations, whether they be an older adult or injured. And the bonus is that such modifications usually make the home more comfortable and more safe for everyone. Most issues related to universal design fit into one of three categories: convenience, safety/health, and economy. Designs for convenience include anything that makes life easier, such as automatic garage door openers, lighted switches, lever handles for doors and faucets, wheelchair ramps, home elevators and stair lifts, wider halls and doors, intercom systems, taller toilets, and openings without raised thresholds (including shower stalls), among many others. What’s more, businesses catering to the aging community have exploded, and most all offer adapted versions of their regular products. Installing lever-type door handles, for example, or wheelchair accessible entrances and bathrooms isn’t any more

expensive than regular knobs and doorways. Safety considerations include adjusting water temperature to avoid scalding injuries, good lighting, installation of smoke detectors, placement of handrails and grabbars, removal of slippery throw rugs, and generally reducing clutter and obstacles. Universal design modifications generally increase the home’s value—making these changes economically sound. As more home buyers look for houses where they can age in place, universally designed spaces are becoming increasingly valuable. Modifying one’s home is merely customizing it, and universal design accommodates everyone. From small children to elderly, and it’s a worthwhile consideration in the planning stages of house design if a homeowner is planning to stay in the same house they always known after retirement.

along for the ride transportation providers make sure you’ll get there The D.C. metro area has several transportation or personal concierge services that can give older adults a lift while raising their spirits as well. Not only do they provide a ride to and from important errands and engagements, but they can impart valuable companionship and can be less costly than a series of cab rides. It may be time to consider a transportation provider if your loved one has experienced memory loss, inability to perform routine tasks, impaired judgment, slowed reaction time or a diminished attention span. Some adults may even find that they like riding with a companion much better than being behind the wheel alone. This buddy approach will ensure that all the errands for the

Some popular uses for concierge services include grocery shopping, cleaning, computer training, bill paying, dry cleaning, pet services and gardening. Of course, most concierge services will accommodate any reasonable request. For the children of these aged loved ones who balance multiple tasks, this companionship is an important supplement to the care they provide at home.

Wheelchair accessible transportation services are available throughout the area, but check in advance before booking services through a company. Many transportation services go above and beyond the simple ride, offering personal concierge services so your loved one will experience healthy companionship. For those who wish to remain in their own homes, completing daily tasks such as cooking, shopping, appointments and filling prescriptions can become too much to handle alone. Concierge services know that seniors do not have to sacrifice their independence

HOW TO

find resources for military

D.C. region offers resources to military & federal retirees who have served our country

ilitary personnel and federal employees are essential to the function and success of the federal government. As our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is home to a large number of federal employees, military personnel, and their families. From retirement communities for military officers and their spouses to associations that represent the needs of federal employees, there are resources available in this area to help those who have served our country. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), there are 25 million veterans currently alive, and three of every four of those veterans completed their service during a period of war or hostility. Their website notes that “approximately 70 million people are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members, or survivors of veterans.” Countless organizations, associations, and communities serve the large concentration of these veterans and their family members who live in the D.C. metro area.

From independent living to nursing care, there are communities in the D.C. area available to serve the needs of military retirees. Many of these communities cater specifically to retired officers and their spouses. Communities are often located near military hospitals or medical centers, and transportation is often provided. These communities provide a vital service to retired military personnel, and combine lifestyle amenities with readily available services. In addition to the resources listed on this page, veterans should be aware of the benefits available through the VA Disability Pension benefits include a special benefit for Aid and Attendance. The Aid and Attendance benefit is for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular assistance of another person with activities of daily living, including eating, bathing, dressing, and toileting. Nursing home patients, assisted living residents, and individuals who are blind are also covered under this benefit. War veterans with 90 days of active duty and/or their surviving spouses are eligible for this benefit. Beneficiaries must also meet certain medical and financial requirements. In order to qual-

ify, applicants must file appropriate paperwork, receive a medical examination by a physician, meet net worth and net income limitations, and submit information detailing out-of-pocket medical expense costs. Those deemed eligible can use the Aid and Attendance benefit to pay for care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living community. Veterans and their spouses will receive set monthly payments. To apply for any of the VA’s wide range of benefits, call 1-800-827-1000 or visit their website at www.va.gov. Other benefits for veterans and their family members include: Education, Home Loan Guaranty, Disability Compensation, Disability Pension, Dependency Indemnity Compensation, Death Pension, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), Medical Care, Burial, and Life Insurance. Both military and government retirees should investigate all of the benefits, services, and options that are available to them. The list on page 74 includes contact information for many of these resources.

HOW TO

stay surrounded with activity

active adult communities keep residents moving

Active Adult Communities

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

Featured on Page

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

thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

HOW TO

receive care for life

continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). These communities offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level, and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. There are three basic types of CCRC contracts.

An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and

amenities. While emergency and shortterm nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life and assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

HOW TO

understand entrance fees

knowing the options when paying for ccrcs Most CCRCs 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 CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement de-

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

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

continuing care residents’ associations by William A. Root

Continuing Care Residents’ Associations consist of individual residents in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) who have banded together to protect, defend, and further their welfare, interests, and rights. They are the only organizations for which this is the sole function. There is a National Continuing Care Residents’ Association (NaCCRA) and also similar Associations at the State level, such as Maryland Continuing Care Residents’ Association (MaCCRA). NaCCRA and MaCCRA activities are financed from dues and donations paid by individual residents of CCRCs directly to these organizations. NaCCRA and MaCCRA interact with associations managing or accrediting CCRCs. These are LeadingAge, its

Life Span branch in Maryland, and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities- Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CARF-CCAC). LeadingAge and Life Span activities related to CCRCs are financed from assessments which CCRCs pay, utilizing funds received from residents. Fortunately, LeadingAge and NaCCRA share many objectives, as do Life Span and MaCCRA. But there are some important issues on which management and resident perspectives differ. These differences often involve financial matters. One of the fundamental issues is the uncertain legal status of CCRC residents. For most CCRCs, a resident pays a large entrance fee which is partially or fully refundable. In a few CCRCs,

These years belong to you.

entrance fees are kept in an escrow account to guarantee availability for eventual refund. In most other CCRCs, entrance fees are used to pay capital and/ or operational costs, relying on entrance fee receipts from successor residents to finance refunds. The question therefore arises as to whether residents are the beneficiaries of a trust or are they simply customers of care services, as some managements perceive them. Both NaCCRA and MaCCRA are seeking clarification. William is a member, and President, of the Maryland Continuing Care Residents’ Association (MaCCRA) and is also a member of the National Continuing Care Residents’ Association (NaCCRA).

top tips for the transition making the most of the move to a retirement community n by Cathy Ritter

whirlwind schedule packed with activities, such as traveling to nearby historical attractions or a professional sporting event. Working out in a fully-equipped health center or participating in a video game tournament. Some days, not getting to bed until well after midnight. This isn’t college – it’s today’s retirement community. Despite this new paradigm in retirement living, the decision to move into a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) is still one of the biggest challenges older Americans face, often with a great deal of reluctance. Obviously, it can be difficult to let go of a home where they have raised families and accumulated a lifetime’s worth of possessions, and equally difficult to face the fact that they may someday need assistance with the daily tasks of living. Unless the decision is essentially made by circumstance, such as a health crisis or death of a spouse, some still tend to believe that CCRCs are for “other people.” But that’s changing. Many — in particular Boomers — now cite a desire to plan ahead, or simply the need to downsize and escape the maintenance associated with a house or yard. Once that decision is made, selecting the right community can be equally challenging. “The idea of searching for and selecting the right community may deter people who could otherwise benefit from one,” says Cathy Ritter, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Asbury Communities, Inc., a not-for-profit organization that manages a system of communities across the U.S. “But today’s communities are a far cry from the stereotypical ‘rest home,’ and the majority of residents are not holed up in their apartments watching ‘Matlock’ reruns. They offer a vibrant lifestyle, encourage social interactions, and have a real, positive energy. There’s a sense of belonging, and of being among family.” There are many factors that can help al-

Understanding CCRCs in Virginia The State Code of Virginia through the Continuing Care Provider Registration and Disclosure Act (38.2-4900) requires CCRCs to provide the prospective buyer with full disclosure statements of their operations and all terms of agreements made between prospective residents and the provider. The State Corporation Commission enforces CCRC regulations governing financial stability, financial disclosure and resident contracts. In addition, CCRCs must also meet state and federal regulations which govern

the levels of long-term care they provide. Specifically, the Department of Social Services licenses portions of the CCRC in which personal care services are provided under Virginia’s Home for Adults law and the Department of Health licenses the nursing facility section, and home health care services. Additionally, CCRCs are required to demonstrate that their services promote their residents’ abilities to maintain the highest functional level.

HOW TO

live independently

communities offer security with no home maintenance

he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of the endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help. What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium, or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a

community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms, and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed. Paying for Independent Living Communities Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents can purchase

their own units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few independent living communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. However, it is important to note that there is almost always a waiting list for subsidized units, so start your planning earlier if you need this assistance. To learn more about what is available, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. What to Look For Research your options and request information from those communities to which you have narrowed your focus. Discussing services and amenities in detail with staff can help ensure you find the home that is right for you. A major question for those who are considering an independent living community is how to meet their future health care needs. It is important to have a specific plan covering various levels of care, especially if you are only interested in making one move during this time. You also may want to question whether to select a fee-for-service arrangement or an all-inclusive fee.

Livinglife to the fullest — at every age. Rediscover life’s joys through a retirement lifestyle rich in independence

and freedom to pursue the interests you love most. Chancellor’s Village is more than just somewhere to live; it’s a place that inspires a sense of genuine belonging.

Understanding Independent Living in D.C. Independent Living Communities are defined in the IONA Senior Services Resource Guide as “communities that provide housing and services for active and independent seniors. Services typically offered include congregate meals, on-site recreational activities, and security services.” IONA Senior Services is one

of eight “lead agency providers in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Office on Aging funds comprehensive service-delivery organizations and designates them “Lead Agencies.” These agencies plan and deliver direct services to the District’s elderly residents and their caregivers. Each ward has one or more Lead Agencies that

provide services to seniors in the ward. Information on Independent Living Communities and other elder service options can be obtained from these agencies. Visit www. dcoa.dc.gov or call (202) 724-5622 to connect with the lead agency serving your neighborhood.

Faces of Friendship “Moving to DC was a big transition for me, but you couldn’t have a better location.” - Marilyn Chasteen, resident since 2008

Originally from upstate New York, with years spent in Florida, Georgia, and Puerto Rico, Marilyn now calls the bustling metropolis of DC “home.” With a degree in social sciences, she has spent most of her life helping others, including the mentally and physically disabled, and has also enjoyed rescuing animals in need. Always one to stay busy, Marilyn volunteers in the Friendship Terrace library and works part-time as a receptionist at a local business only blocks away from her apartment.

Understanding Independent Living in Maryland In Maryland, senior apartments are generally for people age 62 and over, but some will accept younger disabled people. Spouses under age 62 may be allowed. There are usually no supportive services available. Some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program,” see below: Congregate Meals

Congregate meals are offered in more than 250 meal sites including senior centers, religious facilities, housing facilities or other community sites throughout Maryland. Many meal program locations are within stateof-the-art facilities and offer a variety of engaging activities such as health promotion and exercise centers. Meal sites offer an opportunity to meet new friends and participate in other social or health-related programs including nutrition education, physical activity and health screening. In 2009, seniors received nearly 1.5 million meals in congregate settings throughout Maryland. Most senior congregate nutrition sites of-

fer a hot lunch; however, some congregate settings offer deli lunches, salad bars, soups and sandwiches or evening meals. Breakfast programs are offered in several locations. A variety of culturally-appropriate meals are offered in select locations including kosher, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean. Congregate Housing Services Program

The mission of the Congregate Housing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies 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 meal preparation, housekeeping, and personal services. The Maryland Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations, such as local housing authorities, nonprofit organizations, or housing management companies, to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program for eligible residents of designated buildings. Eligible residents are those who are at Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

least 62 years of age and in need of assistance in one or more activities of daily living. The program provides meals, weekly housekeeping of each participant’s apartment, and limited personal assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing and laundry. The cost of the Congregate Housing Services Program varies by site. Individual program participants contribute to the cost based on a sliding scale. State subsidies are available for eligible residents of participating sites who require financial assistance. To qualify for a subsidy, an individual’s income may not exceed 60 percent of the State median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple. Currently, there are over 574 units of Congregate Housing Services located in more than 25 senior citizen apartment buildings statewide. To view a list of congregate housing sites in Maryland or to receive additional information on local housing programs, contact your local Senior Information and Assistance Program.

Understanding Independent Living in Virginia Independent Living Communities can be referred to in a variety of ways depending on the location and the services provided at the community. Senior apartments, senior living communities and retirement homes are among the frequently-used terminology for this housing option. Virginia Department for the Aging (VDA) sometimes refers to these communities as “congre-

gate housing facilities.” They define congregate housing facilities as generally providing private living quarters, meals in a central dining room, shared living spaces and access to social and recreational facilities. The VDA states, “For people who do not require nursing home care, congregate housing is a very popular and economic alternative to institutional care. It is most suitable

for the more frail members of the elderly population - those who find it difficult to manage home maintenance, shopping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.” Rent subsidies under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 8 Rental Assistance Program may be available to assist with the cost of rent in congregate housing facilities.

www.retirement-living.com offers you the opportunity to search for independent living and other senior living communities geographically.

Assisted Living

HOW TO

choose assisted living

Assisted Living communities offer housing and a variety of supportive services delivered by qualified staff members. As opposed to independent living communities, health care services are available at assisted living communities. The Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) notes that assisted living is “a unique transition from independent living without care” that “helps seniors enjoy an improved quality of life with independence and care combined.” Community amenities vary widely but can include private units, state-of-the-art facilities, beautifully decorated common areas, barber shops and beauty parlors, pharmacies, physical therapy services, recreation rooms, libraries, gardening areas, and fitness centers. Consumers will quickly find that assisted living communities, also commonly called residential care facilities or

personal care homes, come in a variety of tia, special units and/or specially trained staff members are often available. shapes and sizes.

Assisted Living

The Facts on Congregate Housing Supportive Services for low to moderate incomes n Congregate Housing provides supportive services to residents in selected independent living communities to help them remain independent. n Congregate Housing services are offered in senior citizen apartment buildings that serve low-to-moderate income residents and may be operated by local housing authorities, non-profit organizations, or housing management companies. n Eligible persons receive daily meals, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and assistance with other activities of daily living.

n In Maryland, the State Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program. n Participants must be 62, mentally or physically impaired and of limited income. Spouses of eligible participants must be 55 years of age or older and meet the same requirements. n Individual program participants contribute to the cost of Congregate Housing based on a sliding scale. To qualify for available state subsidies, an individual’s income may not exceed 60% of the state median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple.

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

AssiSted Living

assisted living service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for their care that describes their needs, likes and preferences and the specific manner in which this care will be delivered. Prepared thoroughly and thoughtfully, the service plan can help a resident achieve their highest level of function and quality of life. The service plan uses an interdisciplinary approach and includes the resident, the family if the resident wishes, the facility nurse and resident service coordinator, and may also include the activity

and dining directors. Many states require that assisted living facilities prepare service plans for each resident. Even if the state does not require it, a well run facility will use them. CCAL recommends that service plans be reevaluated every six months or anytime if there is a significant change in a resident’s health status including a hospitalization. For more information, visit the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living website at www.ccal.org

HOW TO

pay for assisted living

know your options paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The NCAL reports that “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 that are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies

provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. The nationwide average cost for an assisted living residence is $2,714 per month or $32,572. These figures are av- Area Agencies on Aging can provide erages only and do not account for more information on subsidies and other payment affordable or subsidized options that assistance programs for assisted living care. are available in most areas.

In a collaborative effort, the community made 100 baby bonnets and scarves for infants and toddlers. While residents were

HOW TO

engage loved ones

implementing person-centered care simply and spontaneously n By Karen Love Research has validated high success rates of applying Montessori-based techniques therapeutically to enhance physical and cognitive functions, reduce excess disability, and support well-being among elders. Besides Montessori’s efficacy, it is also easy, fun and inexpensive to implement. Because of its ease and positive values, staff are able to experience short-term success. This success is personally rewarding to staff and provides encouragement for them to continue to increase their skills and expertise while also providing opportunities to nurture positive relationships with elders – which in turn enhances staff job satisfaction and retention. One day I observed a housekeeper in an assisted living residence pass by a table

where a resident was engrossed in using tongs to pick up ping pong balls and place them into ice cube trays. Also on the table was a container full of 80 multi-colored shower curtain rings. The housekeeper quietly pulled up a chair and began clipping the shower curtain rings together. Before long, she had strung together 25 rings. The resident looked up and told her “she was doing a great job and to keep up the good work.” She laughed and bantered back that he was pretty good with the tongs; had he honed that skill barbecuing? This got them talking about their favorite food to barbecue. The residence’s maintenance man was nearby and joined the conversation by detailing his recipe for mouth-watering barbecue sauce. Two staff members and a

resident spent a spontaneous five minutes together and ended up laughing and sharing fond memories of past meals. I shared this encounter with the resident’s daughter the next time I saw her. I was laughing remembering the funny barbecue recipe containing beer, honey, ketchup and most everything else in the maintenance man’s refrigerator when I noticed the daughter’s eyes welling. She looked up and said this story made her so happy. She was remembering how her father was asked to leave another facility because of his agitated behavior. The use of simple, everyday items to stimulate and engage her father not only helped enhance his physical function and well-being, but also effectively addressed his behavior challenges.

Understanding Assisted Living in the District of Columbia and Maryland District of Columbia:

There are currently 16 licensed Assisted Living Residences in the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia Department of Health Regulation and Licensing defines an Assisted Living Residence, or ALR, as any entity, whether public or private, for profit or not for profit that combines housing, health, and personalized assistance, in accordance to individuallydeveloped service plans, for the support of individuals who are not related to the owner or operator of the entity. An Assisted Living Residence does not include a group home for mentally retarded persons as defined in section 2(5) of the Health-Care and Community Residence Facility, Hospice and Home Care Licensure Act of 1983, or a mental health community residence facility as that term is used in Chapter 38 of Title 22 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations. Source: http://hrla.doh.dc.gov/hrla/

Maryland:

In Maryland, an assisted living provider is defined as: A residential or facility-based provider that provides housing and supportive services, supervision, personalized assistance, health-related services, or a

â&#x2013;

combination of these services to meet the needs of residents who are unable to perform, or who need assistance in performing, the activities of daily living or instrumental activities of daily living, in a way that promotes optimum dignity and independence for the residents. Code of Maryland Regulations 10.07.14.02B(10). There is a wide variety of assisted living providers in Maryland. They range from large, corporate-managed facilities where hundreds of people live in their own apartments to small, private homes in which the owners provide services to two residents who may share a bedroom. What all of these providers have in common, however, is they all offer their residents some level of assistance with their daily activities, such as dressing, bathing and eating. Levels of Care

with moderate care needs, and a level three license allows a provider to care for residents with high-level care needs (as well as residents with low or moderate needs). If a person is mentally sharp, only takes medication for arthritis pain and only needs assistance with dressing and bathing, he or she would be classified as needing a low level of care. A person would need a high level of care if he or she is mentally confused by dementia, has a complicated list of powerful medicines that must be given at different times each day, and requires assistance with bathing, eating, walking, dressing, and toileting. Such a person could only be accepted by a provider with a level three license. Most providers are licensed at level three, which means they can accept residents with low, moderate or high care needs. If individuals have a progressive condition and do not want to have to move repeatedly, they should look for a provider with a level three license even if they only need a low level of care now.

Assisted living facilities in Maryland are licensed to provide up to three levels of care. The levels correspond with how much assistance residents need. Licensure at level one means the provider is authorized to take care of residents Source: Assisted Living in with low care needs. A level Maryland: What You Need to two license means the provider Know can also take care of residents www.aging.maryland.gov

“ When I moved to Country Meadows I left home responsibility behind. Here, everything is taken care of for you and your worries are gone.”

Jeanne brought her memories with her to Country Meadows and left homeowner worries behind. Now Jeanne feels spoiled by people serving her dinner, cleaning her apartment, even planning a full social calendar. It gives her the gift of time to do the things she loves most.

HOW TO

find residential living

a more close-knit way of life Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well as they can enjoy participating in the preparation and serv-

ing of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. Small assisted living facilities allow residents As with any community, it is important to maintain independence. to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families.

things to look for in senior housing In the AARP Magazine article titled ‘Selecting Senior Housing,’ Dimitra Kessnides outlined some suggestions of things to look for in a potential community including the following: Observe residents. Is their hair clean? Is their clothing soiled? What about the staff? Are they stressed, are they surly or curt? Check out the surroundings. Cleanliness is important, so look for uncollected garbage, dust and dirt. (Odors are normal in nursing homes, especially

when hallways are filled with bins of dirty bed linens). Check the bathrooms, look under the beds, etc. Ask to see the menu. Is there variety and nutritional balance? Is the home sensitive to different dietary needs? You can ask for a copy of the menu and later show it to your parent’s doctor for feedback. Check on where residents eat breakfast. Is it served in bed on a tray? Superior homes will have residents up and out in the dining room. To view this article, visit http://www.

HOW TO

provide hope & happiness

a caregiver’s perspective For caregivers, the human capacity for hope is a tremendous blessing. It may be the hope that your loved one will make new friends when they move into a senior living community or that they will respond well to a new treatment for a troubling illness. Hope is said to “spring eternal,” but its source is a recognition of our limitations. It is, in effect, an admission that there are things that impact our loved one’s wellbeing that even the most conscientious caretaker cannot have control over. But don’t let the magnitude of the challenges your loved one faces cause you to undervalue your own ability to make a difference. What you can do for your loved one is so much more important than what you can’t. Although you can’t reverse the march

of time, you can bring a smile to your loved one’s face or provide a moment of satisfaction and peace. Here are some steps you can take that will always improve the quality of your loved one’s life: Give the gift of companionship. A simple conversation can be wonderfully rejuvenating. The topic doesn’t have to be particularly meaningful or significant. What counts is that you take the occasion to convey your true regard and your appreciation for your loved one’s experience and point of view. Serve as their link to the greater world. A human being’s sense of curi-

osity is impressively resilient. When you scan the paper in the morning or listen to the news, mentally tag the items you think will give your loved one pleasure.

AlfredHouse Eldercare, Inc. A Pleasant Alternative to Institutional Care

When you bring these topics up, you’re implicitly telling them that their interests are important. You’ll also be keeping them involved and giving them a few moments relief from their own concerns. Be a hands-on caregiver. As people grow older, they become physically isolated from other people. The opportunity for a caring human touch becomes rarer and rarer. As a caregiver, you have a great opportunity to restore this loss. There are few gestures more life-affirming than holding your loved one’s hand or giving them a warm, heartfelt hug or shoulder rub. Your capacity for hope and your capacity to act go hand in hand. A good attitude gives you the power to envision a better future, while the actions you take today can enrich the present moment.

assisted living residents and children beat to the same drum Most people think of bingo and bridge as the primary activities in senior living communities. These days, however, there are dozens of unique and innovative programming concepts being offered in communities. In fact, drum circles are a welcomed new offering at dozens of communities throughout the region thanks to Alan Yellowitz, founder of The Beat Goes On, a company that facilitates percussionbased activities. According to Yellowitz, these musical activities are a great way to enable individuals to come together and contribute to the group in their own way. “Drum circles are all about forming a commu-

nity of folks that are creating rhythms together; everyone has their piece,” he said. Two local assisted living communities have even used drum circles to expand the community beyond their walls and forge relationships with local schools and children. Sunrise at Bluemont Park in Arlington, Va. had a program in which the residents of the community were pen pals with second graders at Ashlawn Elementary School. The community then held a drum circle led by Yellowitz as a way to connect the residents and children for their first face-to-face meeting. Another community promoting this activity is Tall Oaks Assisted Living in

“So many people do so much better in a smaller setting”

Reston, Va., where Yellowitz first led drum circles with the residents and then students at Sunset Hills Montessori. The two groups then joined together for a large intergenerational drum circle, which also kicked off a new program. “We were excited to connect our students with the seniors to share and learn about music and culture together,” said Melissa Christopher Green, a music teacher at Sunset Hills Montessori. Not only are these drum circles a new and fun activity to keep residents engaged, but they have proved to be a beneficial way to span generations and connect residents of a community with nearby individuals of all ages.

HOW TO

connect, share and inspire

the benefits of networking for seniors

s we age, our social circles become smaller and smaller, but conversely our need for socialization increases. By and large, this need is based on support and our circles of support become rather diverse and can come in the form of friends, families, church, caregivers, etc. At the onset we begin to lose our family to their families, friends move on and our aging bodies may begin to restrict our ability to engage in the development of new circles. So where are seniors and baby boomers going in search of socialization? Seniors aren’t sitting still and allowing this dynamic to slow them down. In fact, according to a media management company – comScore, among older people who went online last year, the number visiting social network sites grew almost as fast as the overall rate of Internet use among that group. Seniors have time and an interest in being connected. Many suffer from chronic illnesses and are in search of data and support groups, while others want to feel a part of a community. Others just want a means by which to keep their minds active and a place to journal their thoughts. In fact, some research suggests that loneliness can hasten conditions like dementia and that online social connections may help delay this illness by keeping the mind active.

They need a way to keep the mind lively, to journal their legacy along with daily activities and the sense of support in coping with the day to day challenges associated with the aging process can be primary drivers. Today, there are a number of options on the social networking landscape for seniors and caregivers – but one in particular caught our attention. TreatmentDiaries.com has many distinctive attributes and as a result is growing quickly. There are numerous sites enabling the connection of family and friends as a means of providing updates on a medical procedure or overall wellbeing following a surgical event. Few sites, however, capture the daily struggles of coping with a condition with anonymity and international reach to those who share your condition and want to show support. Why is this important? Most begin to feel guilty sharing the details of their condition(s) with family members/ friends and would rather connect with those who have empathy and understanding and seek the same level of support. As much as our families love us, they can never truly grasp the challenge without having personally lived it. TreatmentDiaries.com is a unique online resource, providing real information exchange between people coping with or caring for anyone with a chronic illness or rare disease. This virtual sup-

port group is free and always available; offering a safe place to anonymously keep multiple diaries of your daily journey, across more than one condition - either privately or shared with others - allowing for shared coping strategies, support for others and the exchange of information. The networking site is dedicated to the needs of all types of users including individual patients, caregivers, family members and advocates. It promotes the importance of keeping a diary of life-changing experiences and the significance of engaging in behaviors and activities which promote health, mental wellness and the self-management of chronic conditions. “We want people to make authentic, quality, lifelong, and if they wish anonymous connections, and inspire others to face their condition,” said Amy Ohm, executive director and co-founder of the site. TreatmentDiaries.com was inspired by real stories of people struggling with chronic conditions and in desperate need of support. The goal is to connect those facing similar circumstances and facilitate the sharing of valuable information and support at every stage of an illness through wellness. Finding and sharing genuine information and experiences is a powerful thing, and this tool gives people the opportunity to do just that.

HOW TO

care for a loved one

the well spouse association offers support n by Terri Corcoran

arriage has enough challenges when both partners are basically healthy. But if one partner becomes ill or disabled with a chronic condition that is not going to get better, the dynamics of the marriage completely change. Instead of husband and wife, the relationship becomes “ill spouse” and “well spouse,” with the well spouse taking on not only a caregiving role, but also taking on more and more of the responsibilities of daily life. In extreme (albeit not rare) cases, when the ill spouse is completely disabled mentally and physically, the well spouse becomes responsible for everything in their lives, from managing the illness with all its inherent medical care complexities to managing finances, shopping, home repairs, and parenting if there are children at home. Add to these physical stresses the well spouses’ excruciating grief at watching their life partners become hopelessly ill and disabled. To say the least, the marriage relationship becomes drastically altered and challenged. In marriages afflicted by certain chronic, degenerative illnesses, well spouses may suffer the painful losses of verbal communication and physical intimacy with their partners. Loss of income is also a major issue if the ill spouse and/or the well spouse cannot

In addition to sharing emotional support, WSA members exchange tips on practical matters, such as where to find medical equipment, home health care agencies, and other staples of the caregiver’s life.

continue to work. The relationship of well spouses to the outside world also changes – social isolation may result from no longer working outside the home, and it is common for extended family and friends to drift away rather than lend much-needed support. As a result, the physical, emotional and mental burdens can become unbearable for well spouses, rendering them exhausted, depressed, angry, frustrated, hopeless, and feeling trapped and abandoned. The good news is that there is help for caregiving spouses at the Well Spouse Association (WSA), a national/ international peer-to-peer, non-profit

support organization. Whether on the online Forum or in a face-to-face support group, WSA offers a safe haven for spousal caregivers to talk about their situations openly, to express frustration, anger and grief, and to receive compassionate understanding from others who walk the same difficult journey. It is a tremendous relief to be able to talk to people who listen to you and truly “get it.” There are currently 60 local area WSA support groups throughout the U.S., and two in Canada. The online Forum has over 2000 participants. Friendships form instantly as all well spouses have so much in common, despite the differences in particular circumstances or the different illnesses of their partners. In addition to sharing emotional support, WSA members exchange tips on practical matters, such as where to find medical equipment, home health care agencies, and other staples of the caregiver’s life. WSA meetings are not all glumness – lots of laughter is shared also! The WSA website (www.wellspouse. org) offers articles and blogs by members, an online discussion forum, and links to many caregiving resources. Respite weekends and an annual national conference are among activities organized by WSA. For more information, the WSA office can be reached at 800838-0879.

HOW TO

evaluate nursing care

specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance While some individuals are able to continue running their households with little assistance, there are those who may have debilitating physical or emotional conditions that require care beyond family or professional home care aides. What is Nursing Care? At a nursing home, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other lifechanging event. These homes serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home or as temporary facilities during a recovery period after a

find long-term care assistance A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing longterm care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs, and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. In addition to providing the information necessary to allow you to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help to resolve complaints against specific long-term care providers. Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a longterm care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the community at large about long-term care issues while simultaneously helping to train the staff of long-term care providers. An Ombudsman can inform consumers of their rights and

long-term care providers of their responsibilities. An Ombudsman can formally address your complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint investigation, and negotiation. Following a thorough investigation, the Ombudsman will work with you and the long-term care provider to help resolve your concern(s). The counseling you receive from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help you to become an advocate for yourself or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to your complaint and then offer information and referrals via the telephone, email, or at an in- person visit to a long-term care facility. If the concern requires a formal investigation, then a signed waiver of rights to resident confidentiality is required, so that

the Ombudsman can review the records and speak to facility staff. The Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He/she will gather facts and relevant information in order to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the longterm care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem. If you have questions about long-term care providers, a complaint about a specific provider or for more information regarding long-term care issues/needs, please contact your Area Agency on Aging in order to locate an Ombudsman in your community. This article was adapted from www. fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program in detail.

HOW TO

keep it together emotionally

remember that it is okay to think of yourself n Contributed by Bob Callaghan Caregiving, whether for the frail, elderly, disabled or those in recovery – can send your emotions on a virtual roller coaster ride. In any 24-hour period you can experience fear, rage, hope, sadness, humor, grief, bravery, fatigue, dedication, and be overwhelmed with love. To keep yourself in good shape mentally and emotionally, it is important that you think of yourself. It is OK to do this; in fact, you will be doing your loved one a favor as you will be far more effective as a caregiver when you are relaxed and rested. During their industry training, professional caregivers are encouraged to remember the importance of caring for themselves. The same advice is key, and perhaps even more essential, for the family caregiver. Before you are drained of all physical and emotional reserves, here are a few rec-

innovative wheelchair art connects all ages and abilities Inspired by a skateboard artist, a 10-year-old with severe physical limitations introduces a new form of art to residents living in a retirement community Ten-year-old Augie Webster is a bright boy with severe physical limitations as a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. After attending an art exhibit for skateboard artist Sean Greene, Augie used his communication device to tell his mother, Kathy Webster, “We can make wheelchair art.” Augie’s brother and sister enthusiastically supported the idea and Wheelchair Action Art was born. The Websters have partnered with residents at Goodwin House Bailey’s Crossroads, a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Falls Church, Va.

HOW TO

protect your family’s assets

an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs In 2010, more than 7,000 people turned 65 years old or older every single day, a figure that is predicted to rise in 2011. Further, an AARP survey revealed that only 4 in 10 of those people feel they will be financially secure for their golden years. For many, that lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of assisted living. That’s why Gabriel Heiser, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in nursing home law, believes that people should start planning now, even if they aren’t close to their 65th birthdays. “The average monthly cost of a nursing home today is $6,917 per month, and a typical Alzheimer’s patient will spend $395,000 for their nursing home care after diagnosis,”

said Heiser, author of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (www.MedicaidSecrets.com). “Those costs are only going to rise, so it’s important to plan now. One important benefit to consider is Medicaid, which can help offset a good amount of those costs, but only if you know what it takes to qualify for those benefits.” The mistake a lot of people make is thinking that they can’t qualify for Medicaid, according to Heiser. “Many feel that because they own a home or have some assets that they can’t qualify for Medicaid help with their nursing home and doctor’s bills,” he said. “The truth is there are a variety of assets people can own and still qualify. It’s just a matter of knowing the rules, and making a plan to

meet those requirements.” Heiser listed the asset limits for those applying for Medicaid. They include: • Cash – You can possess $2,000 cash that will not be counted as an asset in determining your Medicaid eligibility. • Home – There is a $500,000 exclusion toward your home, meaning that if your home is valued at $500,000 or less at the time of your application, it is excluded as an asset. Some states use the higher permitted exemption of $750,000. • Car – Up until recently, you could exclude only one car at a value of $4,500 or less, however that law has been changed. Now, one automobile of ANY current market value is excluded on your application. • Funeral and Burial Funds – If you Continued on page 158

have a pre-planned funeral or memorial arrangement, the entire value of that plan is excluded. If you do not, a separate bank account that contains $1,500 toward funeral expenses can be excluded. If you have pre-purchased burial plots, you can exclude not only the costs of the plot for the applicant, but for the entire family, and still be eligible for Medicaid. • Property – According to federal law, any real or personal property that is essential to self-support, regardless of value or rate of return, is excluded. That could

include farms, rental properties and other real estate investments that generate income necessary for self-support. For rental income, however, the property must generate at least 6 percent of its value annually in order to qualify for the exclusion. • Life Insurance – Only the cash value of a life insurance policy owned by the applicant is counted, thus, all term policies are ignored. “There are so many other rules that can benefit those who aren’t sure they’ll have enough when the time comes,” Heiser added. “The key is to plan now and act now. These laws exist for your protection, and avoiding the discussion and the

planning necessary to take care of the potential complications just because it is an unpleasant topic will only result in a more unpleasant conversation when you realize you’re not ready when the worst happens. That can be a very expensive dilemma. Peace of mind right now, however, won’t cost a dime, and could save you hundreds of thousands of dimes later.” K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning, including trusts, estates, gifts, and related tax issues, since graduating from Boston University School of Law in 1983.

Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a sad day for most. Reassurance from family and friends that love and contact will be maintained can ease the transition. The following steps may help lessen the trauma of this change: n

Talk about the admission in advance and describe the home in detail.

Visit the home with the prospective resident beforehand and get to know the administration.

Involve the prospective resident as much as possible in the decision-making process.

Decide together what items to bring to the nursing home.

Be available the entire day of admission to help settle the resident and provide support.

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

HOW TO

choose alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care

a special care residence may be the right option

pecial care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sight, smell, and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment.

All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident.

Before choosing a special care unit, you should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit. Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association, or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They

may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented, and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety.

Alzheimer’s

The Truth Behind Typical Alzheimer’s Myths From The Alzheimer’s Association Myth 1: Memory loss is a natural part of aging. Reality: In the past people believed memory loss was a normal part of aging, often regarding even Alzheimer’s as natural age-related decline. Experts now recognize severe memory loss as a symptom of serious illness. Whether memory naturally declines to some extent remains an open question. Many people feel that their memory becomes less sharp as they grow older, but determining whether there is any scientific basis for this belief is a research challenge still being addressed. Myth 2: Alzheimer’s disease is not fatal. Reality: Alzheimer’s disease has no survivors. It destroys brain cells and causes memory changes, erratic behaviors and loss of body functions. It slowly and painfully takes away a person’s identity, ability to connect with others, think, eat, talk, walk and find his or her way home. Myth 3: Only older people can get Alzheimer’s Reality: Alzheimer’s can strike people in their 30s, 40s and even 50s. This is called younger-onset Alzheimer’s. It is estimated that there are as many as 5.4 million people living with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States. This includes 5.2 million people age 65 and over and 200,000 people under age 65 with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer’s disease. Reality: During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat. For more information, visit www.alz.org or call the 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900.

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

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

Hospice

Myths and Facts About Hospice Myth: Hospice is where you go when there is “nothing else to be done.” Reality: Hospice is the “something more” that can be done for the patient and the family when the illness cannot be cured. It is a concept based on comfort-oriented care. Referral into hospice is a movement into another mode of therapy, which may be more appropriate for terminal care. Myth: Families should be isolated from a dying patient. Reality: Hospice staff believe that when family members (including children) experience the dying process in a caring environment, it helps counteract the fear of their own mortality and the mortality of their loved one. Myth: Hospice care is more expensive. Reality: Studies have shown hospice care to be no more costly. Frequently it is less expensive than conventional care during the last six months of life. Less high-cost technology is used, and family, friends, and volunteers provide 90% of the day-to-day patient care at home. Additionally, patients eligible for Medicare or Medicaid will pay few out of pocket expenses related to their hospice care. Most private insurers also cover some or most hospice related expenses. Myth: You can’t keep your own doctor if you enter hospice. Reality: Hospice physicians work closely with your doctor of choice to determine a plan of care.)

Hospice

ask an expert The Hospice Foundation of America has teamed up with the Assist Guide Information Service, Inc. (AGIS.com) to offer its unique expertise. The following is just one of the many questions answered in HFA’s Ask an Expert section at www.agis.com/community/Ask-The-Experts. How do you know when hospice is appropriate?

I find help for a specific loss like the loss of a spouse?

Answer: The patient, family and/ or physician can initiate a hospice information/referral call or visit as soon as a terminal disease is diagnosed. When the patient would like to move from a treatment plan focused on curing the disease to a plan focused on providing comfort and relief, they may choose hospice care. At this point, the local hospice workers will meet with the patient’s personal physician, the patient and the family to discuss available services and expectations and to develop a plan of care designed specifically for the patient and family needs.

Answer: The best way to find local grief support information is to contact some of the local hospice programs in your area. Explain to them

that you may be looking for support for a specific loss. They may know who to refer you to in your area. Although they may be a national program, they may be able to refer you to local chapters, programs, or people who can assist you with a specific loss.

My mother is a hospice volunteer and told me that there are grief support programs available through hospice. She said that sometimes groups are loss specific. Can you tell me how I may find local information on available grief support programs? How do

HOW TO

cope with a loss

understand your feelings and learn how to begin healing

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

we think, “I feel guilty that I was not in the our ability to cope; some things are simply room when he died.” bigger than we are and require more resources than we have available.

HOW TO

remain at home

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

Since 1989

22nd Anniversary

the tasks that family members would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of the companion care provider are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available. HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exer-

cises, housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders and transportation. SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed by a physician and is administered by a registered nurse. The services provided by skilled nurses include: administering injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more. Finding a Provider After determining the type and amount of services needed along with payment options, consumers should begin interviewing potential providers. This is a highly important decision since finding a qualified, reliable and compassionate individual is essential to the health and happiness of patients and their families.

seniors and the holiday blues The holidays should be a joyful time but it is not unusual for many of us to feel sad, lonely or even anxious. This condition, known as the “holiday blues,” is most common at the end of the year when it can seem that just about everyone is celebrating in some way, while those with the holiday blues feel overwhelmed by the high expectations of the season. Seniors can be especially susceptible to the holiday blues. “The holidays can heighten feelings of grief and loss for seniors adjusting to changes related to the process of aging: life without a loved one or close friends, ill health, or a move from a lifelong family home into a retirement home or senior community. They may feel guilty about having feelings of sadness which may in turn intensify those feelings of sadness,” says Karen A. Briskie, RN, MSN, Director of THE MEDICAL TEAM’s Journey Behavioral Health Program. Experiencing the holiday blues can be a normal response to a stress-filled time but seniors don’t have to suffer unnecessarily. Mental Health America, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Americans lead mentally healthier lives, offers the following tips for coping with holiday stress: • Keep expectations manageable. Try to set realistic goals. Make a list and prioritize the important activities. • Don’t put the entire focus on just one day. Remember that it’s a whole season of holiday sentiment, and activities can

be spread out to lessen stress and increase enjoyment. • Remember the holiday season does not banish reasons for feeling sad or lonely; there is room for these feelings to be present, even if the person chooses not to express them. • Leave “yesteryear” in the past and look toward to the future. Don’t set yourself up in comparing today with the “good ol’ days.” • Do something for someone else. Try volunteering to help others. • Enjoy activities that are free, such as taking a drive to look at holiday decorations. • Be aware that excessive drinking will only increase your feelings of depression. • Try something new. Celebrate the holidays in a new way. • Spend time with supportive and caring people. Reach out and make new friends, or contact someone you haven’t heard from in a while. • Find a family member, friend, clergy member, or a physician or professional counselor you can talk with who can help you through this difficult time. While they may be intense and unsettling, holiday blues are usually shortlived. “However, it is important for family members, physicians and other caregivers to be alert to signs of something more serious than just seasonal sadness. Many elderly individuals may feel that depression is a natural part of aging and may not seek treatment

Experiencing the holiday blues can be a normal response to a stress-filled time but seniors don’t have to suffer unnecessarily.

on their own,” says Karen Briskie, RN, MSN. Depression is a very real and serious disorder that can be treated and managed, but can be life-threatening if left untreated. Signs of depression include: sadness that won’t lift; loss of interest or pleasure; changes in appetite and weight; and thoughts of death or suicide. If you notice that a loved one seems depressed, encourage them to talk to their healthcare provider. If diagnosed with depression, elderly patients have been found to respond more readily when receiving psychiatric care in the comfort of home, surrounded by their family and possessions. There are specialty in-home care programs, such as THE MEDICAL TEAM’s Journey Behavioral Health program, which can assist patients, families and caregivers affected by depression and other behavioral health disorders to journey towards wholeness.

HOW TO

pay for home care

understanding costs can help with decision making As the desire to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option for many, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments and range from $15-$25 per hour. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicarecertified agency. Prices for home health care also range from $15-$25 per hour. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from

state to state, you will need to contact your local Area Agency on Aging for more information concerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech, and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also cover Individuals who meet income requirements a limited number of skilled home vis- may be eligible to receive skilled nursing its.

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

Small valuables Irreplaceable or sentimental items Small family heirlooms

Transportation: After the Car Keys Are Gone By Buckley Kuhn Fricker So now you (or your loved one) find yourself stuck at home. How will you buy groceries? Pick up prescriptions? Visit the mall? Get to the doctor’s office? Transportation is probably the single most important worry faced by those who want to age at home but can no longer drive their own cars. The loss of independence is profound after a lifetime of being able to come and go wherever and whenever you pleased. Enter drivers: City or county-sponsored discounted services; volunteer drivers from community and religious groups; specially-arranged taxi services – and, increasingly, paid private concierge-type services which provide not just driving, but also companion services. The obvious advantage of the city-county provided transportation services is that, like volunteers, their services are free or low cost. A problem with these services is that they are relatively inflexible in terms of both pick-up times and destinations. Certain cab companies offer discounts and speciallytrained drivers whose vehicles have wheelchair ramps (not lifts). You can buy or rent a wheelchair van. Rentals with drivers cost about $90 per hour. Purchasing a wheelchair van can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $45,000, but finding private van drivers can be difficult. Concierge companion services will take you wherever you want to go when you want to go, just as if you were getting into your own car and driving yourself. They will take you to your doctor’s office and even sit in with you if you wish them to take notes. They will take you to your hair appointment. They will take you and your pet to the vet or the groomer. Like you, if you were driving yourself, they will make stops to buy a birthday gift for your niece, visit your favorite deli, and fill your prescriptions, while providing educated, warm companionship along the way. Concierge companion services, such as those of the company I founded in 2005, are an excellent solution for many clients. Such private companies charge from about $40 to $60 per hour. They are not limited merely to providing driving services directed by the client; they provide services from grocery shopping to locating pet walkers and house cleaners for you, to locating and supervising handymen, plumbers and electricians for home maintenance needs, and, for many, sociable companion services to accompany you on your walks around the block or to the opera. AAA estimates that driving a typical car an average distance per year costs the driver-owner about $7,823 per year. Older individuals tend to use their cars less frequently and over shorter distances, so let’s reduce that average to $5,000 per year. At $50/hr for driving and companion services by a private concierge, two hours of private driving, errand-running and companionship per week for one year would cost only $5,200. With concierge drivers, you have your own chauffeur for just a little more than you paid when you could still drive yourself in your own car.

Making A SAFER HOME for Seniors NON-SKID RUGS Remove throw rugs, or use rubber backing or apply double-faced adhesive carpet tape to the backs of all area rugs and runners to prevent slipping, or remove them.

BATHROOM SAFETY Install grab bars in your bathtub or shower stall and near a toilet. Never use towel racks for balance—they can easily come loose, causing a fall.

REVIEW MEDICATIONS The medications you take—and even the foods you eat—can affect your balance. Check with your doctor or pharmacist annually to review your medications and diet plan.

HANDRAILS Install handrails on both sides of all stairways—making sure they extend the full length of the stairway. Also make sure you have lights at the top and bottom of the stairs. FOOTWEAR It’s best to wear thin, non-slip soled shoes, not thick-soled jogging shoes.

EXERCISE DAILY Using your muscles helps maintain balance, strength, and flexibility. Try Tai Chi, walking, water aerobics, or dancing.

HOW TO

make aging in place possible

professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life can become too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing common remodeling projects and on how to combat common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS specialist is that they offer a service in drawing from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized and thorough plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typical modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS professionals are mostly remodelers, but a number of general

contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. CAPS was developed by The Re-

modelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP in order to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

finding and evaluating an aging-in-place specialist Compare how much money you have to spend on a project and compare it to the cost of moving for a financial perspective. To find CAPS, seek referrals from others who may have had similar work done. Before you commit to a remodeler, verify with your local state office of consumer protection and Better Business Bureau that he/she has the appropriate license(s) in your state. Ask for a writ-

ten estimate of the work your remodeler will perform based on your own specifications. Be firm, but prepared to pay the total amount in full. Finally, select a professional with plenty of experience with your type of project. Remember, the lowest price does not always ensure a successful modeling project and home improvement is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

HOW TO

incorporate safety strategies

a word from the northern virginia fall prevention coalition

he odds of a significant fall after age 65 in the United States are about one in three. Fortunately, most of these falls aren’t grim. Yet, falls are the leading cause of injury and injury-related death among older adults. Don’t let the fear of falling overshadow your life. Here are six fall-prevention strategies that can help you avoid a fall event. Begin your fall-prevention plan by making an appointment with your doctor. You and your doctor can take a comprehensive look at your environment, your health and your medications to identify situations when you’re vulnerable to falling. Include all the prescription and overthe-counter medications you take, along with the dosages, or bring them with you. Your doctor can review your medications for side effects and interactions that may increase your risk of falling. Additionally, your doctor will want to know about eye and ear disorders that may increase your risk of falls. Be prepared to discuss these when you are walking. Also, explain any bouts of dizziness, joint pain, numbness or shortness of breath that impacts your walking ability.

If you are inactive, consider starting a general exercise program. Consider activities such as walking, water workouts, tai chi or chi qong, uses breathing along with gentle movement. Activities reduce your risk of falls by improving your strength, balance, coordination and flexibility. Get your doctor’s approval prior to beginning an exercise program. Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall-prevention plan. Stacked heels, floppy slippers and shoes with slick soles can impair a solid step, even walking in your stocking feet. Have your feet measured each time you buy shoes, your size can change with weight or medication intake. And, select lace-up shoes instead of slip-ons. Scrutinize your living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, hallways and stairways may be filled with land mines waiting to trip you up. Clutter can get in your way, but so can the decorative accents you add to your home. Remove boxes, newspapers, electrical cords and phone cords from walkways. Secure loose rugs with double-faced tape, tacks or a slip-resistant backing. Store clothing, dishes, food and other household necessities within easy reach

and use nonslip mats in your bathtub or shower. As we age, a reduced amount of light reaches the back of your eye where color and motion are sensed. Keep your home brightly illuminated with 100-watt bulbs or higher to avoid tripping on objects. Install a lamp near your bed so you can use it when you get up at night. And, place night lights in your bedroom, bathroom, hallways or any foot traffic area. Use assistive devices when you need them. Your doctor might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady. Consider using grab bars mounted inside and just outside your shower or bathtub. Install raised toilets or ones with armrests to stabilize your stance. Last, install a sturdy plastic seat in your shower or tub so that you can sit down when necessary. Falls are not an inevitable part of aging. Falls are preventable!

Area Demonstration Projects Showcase Universal Design Many times it is difficult to fully understand and appreciate the function, utility and beauty of Universal Design. Words and pictures cannot replace visiting a home and discovering the benefits of design first-hand. However, it can be challenging to schedule visits to a home that is occupied by a resident. Demonstration projects present an opportunity for interested consumers to experience first-hand the features and benefits of Universal Design to help implement these concepts into their own space. Innovative Model of Living at Vinson Hall – Mclean, VA

One of the most unique approaches to a demonstration project has been created at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, VA. Residents of the community worked closely with management and award-winning design expert Moira Leite to create the ‘apartment of the future.’ This model apartment is beautiful and accessible but, through intentional design, assists in prolonging the independence and enhancing the quality of life of the residents. The apartment incorporates features and products that enhance utility, mobility and safety within

the space. It serves as a model apartment for future residents, a prototype for the renovation of existing residents’ apartments and an opportunity for the public to discover improvements they can make to their private residences. Kathy Martin, CEO of Vinson Hall and a retired Navy rear admiral, shares. ‘‘This is exciting for us, as well as the community at large. We have an opportunity to enhance living here for our seniors. I believe we have an opportunity to be a model for the community and to partner in outreach.” For more information: www.vinsonhall.org

the neighborhood you dream about

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

as possible, according to a survey by AARP. The challenge these individuals face, however, is that if they do nothing to prepare for future needs, they may not be able to continue living in their homes as long as they would like. Residents of Beacon Hill, a downtown Boston neighborhood, responded to the challenge of staying in their community by joining their neighbors to take control over where and how they will live in the years to come. They formed a non-profit, Beacon Hill Village, which serves those aged 50+ in central Boston, to take advantage of social, cultural and wellness activities without leaving their How it all Started homes. The various services provided Nearly 90 percent of Baby Boom- are designed to respond to the members’ ers say they want to stay in their homes specific needs and wants which include and close to family and friends as long concierge services, comprehensive home

care, home repair, house cleaning, grocery shopping, transportation and other services. Where it is going In 2007, Beacon Hill Village sponsored a workshop which community leaders from 27 states attended. The Village to Village Network has been formed to offer leaders the opportunity to share resources and connect. There are now dozens of groups at various stages of development in the Washington metro region and they have formed a group, Washington Area Villages (WAV), that meets regularly. Customized to the Neighborhood The design and implementation is customized to the needs and wants

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

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

caregiver tips in helping with medicare by Ross Blair, PlanPrescriber.com 1. Manage Timelines Effectively: Medicare eligibility begins for U.S. citizens and legal residents when they turn 65. A person has a seven-month initial enrollment period that begins three months before their birthday month and ends three months after. During this initial enrollment period, a person can enroll in Original Medicare (Parts A&B), a prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D) or a Medicare Advantage plan. If you want to enroll in a medigap (Medicare supplement insurance) policy, the open-enrollment period starts the first month the person is both 65 and enrolled in Part B, and lasts for 6 months. During that 6-month medigap enrollment period, a person has a guaranteed

5 Take Care of Yourself: Preserving your own health is just as important as caring for someone else’s. Take control of your own life by balancing caregiving with personal needs. Take time to nurture your interests and tend to your health. Know the Caregiver’s bill of rights. 6. Beware of Fraud: Identify and report any Medicare fraud, abuse or scams. To be on the lookout, carefully review the ‘Explanation of Benefits’ statements received for all regular Medicare and Part D services. Review bills from all providers to make sure you are paying for only the services or equipment the Medicare beneficiary received. Be careful about giving out any personal information (your own or your loved one’s) to individuals or organizations. There is a helpful section on fraud and specific tips to avoid fraud at www. Medicare.gov.

7. Don’t Overlook Legal Matters: At a certain point, it may be advisable for your loved one to grant you or another family member a Durable Power of Attorney that includes the ability to make decisions relating to your loved one’s healthcare. Discuss who will take on this important responsibility and if there are specific medical preferences or directives that your loved one has requested. You don’t want to make these types of decisions in the middle of a health crisis. Also, make sure your loved one has a Living Will or Advanced Healthcare Directive.

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

fast medicare coverage even when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not retired n

By George McConnell, Social Security Administration Deputy Area Director

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made your decision: although youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible to collect Social Security payments, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep working and delay receiving your retirement benefits. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about Medicare. Even if you decide to wait until after you are age 65 to apply for retirement benefits, most people should apply for Medicare coverage at age 65. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to begin your Medicare coverage, you should apply within four months of reaching age 65. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fast, convenient, and simple way to apply online for Medicare in as little as 10 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not ready to receive retirement benefits.

HOW TO

become a representative payee

a way to help your loved ones n By Diana Varela, Social Security Administration If a loved one, friend or neighbor receives Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits but is no longer physically or mentally able to take care of his or her financial affairs, you may want to consider becoming a representative payee. Then, you’ll be able to help them with managing their money. Keep in mind that being a representative payee is not the same as having power of attorney. Even if you do have power of attorney, you will need to apply to be a representative payee in order to have the benefit payments made to you on the beneficiary’s behalf. When a person is no longer able to handle his or her own Social Security or SSI benefits, we conduct a careful investigation and appoint a relative, friend or other interested party to serve as the representative payee. This means that if you agree to be

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

also need to tell Social Security about changes that may affect the beneficiary’s eligibility. This includes things like changes in living arrangements, other income, and resources. More than seven million people who get monthly Social Security or SSI payments each month have a representative payee because they need help managing their money. By agreeing to serve as a representative payee, you have taken on an important responsibility — one that can make a positive difference in both the beneficiary’s life and your own. Learn more by reading our online booklet, A Guide For Representative Payees, available on our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10076.html or visit www.socialsecurity.gov.

HOW TO

apply online as a spouse

you may be eligible for spouse’s benefits n by Jackie Collins-Miller You probably already know that when it comes time to apply for retirement, you can do it online at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyonline. But did you know that spouses can apply online, too? If you are a spouse applying for benefits based on your husband’s or wife’s record, you can do it online from the convenience of your own home. Wonder whether you may qualify to apply for spouse’s benefits? If you are a spouse who has not worked or who has worked for very low wages, you could be entitled to a benefit equal to as much as one-half of your retired spouse’s full benefit. Even if you are divorced, you may be eligible for benefits based on the employment record of your former spouse. To get benefits on your spouse’s record, you must be at least age 62 or have a qualifying child in your care — a child who is under age 16 or who receives Social Security disability benefits. The amount of your spousal benefit depends on your age at retirement. If you begin receiving benefits before full retirement age, your benefits will be permanently reduced in most cases. You also may be eligible for a retirement benefit based on your own earnings. If that benefit is higher than the spousal benefit, Social Security would pay you the higher benefit. We compare which of the two benefits would be more beneficial to you, and discuss the op-

tions you have. If you have reached your full retirement age and are eligible for a spouse’s benefit as well as your own retirement benefit, you may choose to receive the spouse’s benefits only in order to continue accruing delayed retirement credits on your own Social Security record. You may then file for benefits at a later date and receive a higher monthly benefit based on the effect of delayed retirement credits.

Remember that if you are a spouse who is taking care of a minor child (16 or under) or a child who is disabled and gets Social Security benefits on your or your spouse’s record, you can receive a benefit, regardless of your retirement age.

HOW TO

fill the gaps in medicare

choosing the right plan and provider for you n By Susan Morisato

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

marci’s medicare answers the only safe way to transport you. Medicare may cover non-emergency ambulance services if · you are confined to your bed (unable to get up from bed without help, unable to walk, and unable to sit in a chair or wheelchair); or · you need vital medical services during your trip that are available only in an ambulance, such as administration of medications or monitoring of vital functions. It is important to remember that if you are receiving SNF care under Part A, any ambulance transport should be paid for by the SNF. The SNF should not bill Medicare for this service. For SNF residents who have exhausted their Part A benefits, Medicare may cover regular, scheduled ambulance trips. For Medicare to cover these trips your doctor must send the ambulance

supplier a written order ahead of time to show that your health requires ambulance transport. For unscheduled or irregular non-emergency trips, a doctor’s order may be required within 48 hours after the transport if you live in a SNF. You should also note that lack of access to alternative transportation alone will not justify Medicare coverage. Medicare will never pay for ambulette services. An ambulette is a wheelchairaccessible van that provides non-emergency transportation for people with disabilities. If covered, Medicare will pay for 80 percent of its approved amount for the ambulance service. You or your supplemental insurance policy will be responsible for the remaining 20 percent. All ambulance providers must accept

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland

ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “Home-Based Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADL’s), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide these services throughout Maryland. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need in order to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Maryland Health Care Commission provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations:

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Virginia

n Virginia, providers of home care organizations, certified home health agencies, and licensed and certified hospice programs are reviewed by the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification. There are several types of agencies in Virginia that provide these services. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need in order to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations:

Home Health Agencies

Home health agencies are public or private agencies, organizations, or parts of agencies or organizations that meet the requirements for participation in Medicare under 42 CFR 440.70 (d). This indicates these federallycertified agencies provide skilled nursing services and at least one other therapeutic service, e.g. physical, speech or occupational therapy; medical social services; or home health aide services, and they also meet the capitalization requirements under 42 CFR 489.28. An agency may choose to be exempt from state licensure through certification in one of four ways: • The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Cer-

tification; • Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) Certification; • Medicaid Personal Care Certification; • Medicaid/Medicare Certification. When trying to find a home health agency, ask for their license number. Be specific in asking for the license number issued by the Virginia Department of Health, and not the number for their license to operate a business.

Home Care Organization

The code of Virginia defines a home care organization (HCO) as “a public or private organization, whether operated for profit or not for profit, that provides, at the residence of a patient or individual in the Commonwealth of Virginia, one or more of the following services: 1) home health services, including services provided by or under direct supervision of any health care professional under a medical plan of care in a patient’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to patients who have or are at risk of injury, illness, or a disabling condition and require short-term or long-term interventions; 2) personal care services, including assistance in personal care to include activities of daily living provided in an individual’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to individuals who have or are at risk of illness, injury, or disabling condition; or 3) pharmaceutical services, including services provided in a patient’s residence, which include the dispensing and administration of a drug

or drugs, and parenteral nutritional support, associated patient instruction, and such other services as identified by the Board of Health by regulation.”

Companion Services

In Virginia, companion organizations can provide only chore, companion or homemaker services, in addition to any of the following, without the aforementioned licenses. Companion services can include providing non-routine home maintenance, along with assisting individuals unable to care for themselves with transportation, meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, companionship and household management. Also included is assistance with bathing areas the client cannot reach, fastening client’s clothing, combing hair, brushing dentures, shaving with an electric razor, and providing stabilization to a client while walking. Homemaker services, however, do not include feeding, bed baths, transferring, lifting, putting on braces or other supports, or cutting nails and shaving with a blade. Such services would need to be provided by a licensed HCO or HHA in Virginia.

HOW TO

find daytime supervision

centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers

dult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis.

flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accesChoosing a Provider sibility for persons in wheelchairs or using Information on local Adult Day Cen- walkers.

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