Utilize your resources and ask the right questions fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death.

Assess financial means and corresponding options.
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 the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance
Housing Options Page 25
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 refundable on a declining basis.

COVER STORY
What is Pets on Wheels? Pets on Wheels is a non-profit organization that delivers pet therapy visits throughout the state of Maryland at no charge to the recipients. Pets on Wheels is supported solely by organizational and private donations. Pets on Wheels volunteers fight stress and help lick loneliness one visit at a time. Each year, more than 175,000 people enjoy a visit from a Pets on Wheels team. Volunteers give more than 12,000 hours of their time annually—visiting nearly 400 facilities and special events. What is a therapy pet? A therapy pet is an animal that provides affection and comfort to people who are lonely, depressed, ill or experiencing a stressful situation. Therapy pets typically visit individuals in hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, schools, hospices, mental health facilities, and libraries. All pets volunteering with Pets on Wheels pass a temperament screening prior to being certified. These pets are not service animals and do not have the same access to public spaces that service animals do. Therapy pets come in all sizes, breeds and species. Any animal that passes the temperament screening may qualify. This includes dogs, cats and a variety of other animals. What are the results of pet therapy? Pets bring much-needed support and unconditional love to individuals in a variety of stressful or isolating situations. All of Pets on Wheels’ recipients experience simple joy when interacting with friendly pets. When visiting nursing homes and retirement communities, Pets on Wheels emphasizes interacting with 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

ombine wet noses and fuzzy paws with lonely adults or nervous children, and you have a recipe for real pleasure. Pets can often connect with people who are too ill or frail to engage with other adults. They also have been known to help children and young adults release stress and thrive in otherwise anxiety-producing situations. Put simply, pets hold enormous potential. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of having their own pet. In fact, many elderly people, adults with disabilities, or children cannot manage the physical or financial demands of pet ownership. Fortunately for these individuals, nonprofit organizations offer free pet therapy visits. In the state of Maryland, Pets on Wheels provides regular visits to nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities, schools, libraries and other facilities. Pets and their owners spend time engaging with attendees during these visits. Attendees get the chance to pet, talk to, hold and connect with animals of all species and sizes. The visits help prevent loneliness and relieve stress.

residents who are largely unresponsive to other activities. Some of these recipients have impaired cognitive abilities due to illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease. Other recipients are unable to leave their rooms or beds due to long-term physical ailments. They are delighted when the pets come to their rooms. People who rarely speak will frequently greet pet therapy animals by name. For some recipients, pet therapy sparks positive memories of their own long-ago pets. For others, pets are a nonjudgmental ear to confide in or read to. In addition to the benefits of interacting with pet therapy animals, recipients are also able to form connections and relationships with human volunteers. Often, pets help to “break the ice,” allowing nursing home residents or other recipients to connect with the volunteers. After several visits, it is not unusual for residents to wait expectantly for the Pets on Wheels team to arrive. People and pets have always been a powerful combination. Even as physical and mental abilities decline, the connection to pets remains. Pets hold immense power and tremendous promise for seniors and people of all ages.

MOVING/DOWNSIZING RESOURCES
Moving and Downsizing Professional help can make moving easy Moving can be a daunting task— no matter what your age—but it can be even more overwhelming for older adults who may be leaving a home they have lived in for decades. Luckily, the enormous growth in the senior population has led to the development of a wide variety of professional moving and real estate services designed specifically to help older adults and their families. Senior Move Managers®, Senior Real Estate Specialists®, and Certified Senior Housing Professionals are just a few of the professionals who are specially trained to help seniors with all the challenges of moving and downsizing. Senior Move Managers assist older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They can also help families who wish to declutter or reorganize a
home to better age in place. These professionals provide a multi-faceted approach to the move process, from space planning in the beginning to post-move support and advocacy. By addressing all aspects of the moving process, Senior Move Managers minimize the chaos and stress of moving. From initial planning to downsizing to the physical aspects of moving, Senior Move Managers create a comprehensive plan that includes selling or disposing of unwanted items and setting up the new residence. Many Senior Move Managers are also movers. Others work closely with a reputable local moving company to complete that aspect of the job. Senior Real Estate Specialists are Realtors who are specially trained to manage the sale of a home for consumers over the age of 50. They
bring targeted knowledge, senior experience and marketing savvy to each sale. These specialists have extensive knowledge about everything from reverse mortgages and the importance of universal design to the uses of pensions, 401k accounts and IRAs in real estate transactions. Finally, Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) are real estate professionals who have completed extensive coursework on how best to assist older adults and their families in the home buying or selling process. CSHPs understand that late-in-life moves can be more complicated and require greater physical and emotional energy than traditional moves. They are trained to help older adults navigate the complexities of moving by addressing their fears, concerns, needs and goals. Continued on page 14

RESOURCES ELDER LAW
Understand Estate Planning Elder law attorneys can help Estate planning means much more than preparing a Last Will and Testament or tax planning for the disposition of your assets upon your death. Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximize the goals of the estate owner. The goals of estate planning typically include making sure the greatest amount of the estate passes to intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes. Estate planning must also provide for administration and protection of assets during an individual’s lifetime and for decisionmaking in the event of a disabling illness. Any complete estate plan should contain: 1. A Last Will and Testament, 2. A durable health care power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate agent) responsible for medical decision-making, 3. A living will or other advance directive giving instructions concerning the type of care one wishes to receive (or avoid) in the event of a terminal illness, and 4. A durable financial power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate) responsible for asset and financial management if one is unable to do such things for oneself. Estate planning may also include the creation of trusts. Estate planning is an opportunity to make wishes known and to determine what person(s) will be responsible for carrying out those directives. You are able to state your preferences concerning the type of care you receive, what types of medical care you do not wish to receive and can authorize someone to act as your agent in carrying out those wishes. Should you fail to do such planning, then there may be confusion as to what your wishes might have been and who you would have preferred to act as your decision-maker. In fact, without such information, your wishes 16 19-0017-01.indd 16
may never be known. If you do not leave a Last Will and Testament, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestate succession in your state. There are laws in each state governing the rights of surviving spouses, heirs and next of kin in the absence of a Last Will and Testament. Probate Probate laws, practice and costs vary from state to state. A qualified Elder Law attorney will be able to advise you as to the probate laws, practices and costs in your state. What You Need To Know In preparing an estate plan, it is essential that all of your assets are considered. You should do a complete inventory of all that you own before contacting your estate planner. Your estate consists not only of your home, your car and your bank accounts. Your estate also includes the value of life insurance policies, investments that you may own (including those held in joint tenancy with other persons), your IRAs and other retirement accounts, and any other assets over which you can exercise control. It is extremely helpful for you to have a centralized and secured record of all of your financial accounts; insurance policies; credit, debit or loan accounts; safe deposit box; and account IDs and passwords. You will need to make decisions about what to include in your estate plan. First, you should determine who will inherit your property upon your death. You must also be certain that your spouse or heirs are capable of managing financial affairs. If capacity or vulnerability is an issue, you may want to name a trustee to handle financial affairs for him or her. You have to designate an Executor or Personal Representative to administer your estate. An alternate Executor or Personal Representative should also be appointed. Special arrangements
may be needed if there are particular family issues, such as a second marriage by either spouse. You will also need to list any specific gifts you want to make to family or non-family members and/or to charities. Once these decisions are made and your inventory is completed, your attorney will be able to advise you as to the best technique to use in planning your estate. You should consider your preferences concerning health care options and decide who will be your decision makers, and do the same with regard to your finances in the event of a disability. Finally, you should give thought to the difficult questions of what type of care you would want or not want in the event of terminal illness. If you have special desires concerning disposition of your remains, such as burial in a certain place or possible cremation, these should be brought up during your planning conference as well. These are complicated and personal issues. The advice of a qualified Elder Law attorney is essential to protect your financial health and welfare and to ensure that your health care wishes are known and carried out. The Role of the Elder Law Attorney Elder Law attorneys who specialize in estate planning are trained and experienced with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives or living wills, and the intricacies of estate and inheritance taxes. They may recommend accounting services, financial planners or insurance purchases, but they do not earn their fees by selling such products. As a result, you are more likely to get thorough and unbiased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with Continued on page 19 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Elder Law What is elder or special needs law? Legal issues that affect people as they age and people with special needs are growing in number. Our laws and regulations are becoming more complex, and each state has different laws. Actions taken with regard to a single matter may have unintended legal outcomes. It is important for attorneys working with seniors, people with special needs, and their families to have a broad understanding of the laws that may have an impact on a given situation to avoid future problems. Elder and Special Needs Law encompasses many different fields of law. Some of these include: • Preservation/transfer of assets seeking to avoid spousal impoverishment when one spouse enters a nursing home • Medicaid • Medicare claims and appeals
• Social Security and disability claims and appeals • Supplemental and long-term health insurance issues • Tax planning • Disability planning, including use of durable powers of attorney, living trusts, “living wills” for financial management and health care decisions, and other means of delegating management and decision-making to another in case of incompetency or incapacity • Access to health care in a managed care environment • Conservatorships and guardianships • Estate planning, including planning for the management of one’s estate during life and its disposition on death through the use of trusts, wills and other planning documents • Probate and administration of
estates • Administration and management of trusts • Long-term care placements in nursing homes and life-care communities • Nursing home issues, including questions of patients’ rights and nursing home quality • Elder abuse and fraud recovery cases • Housing issues, including discrimination and home equity conversions • Age discrimination in employment • Retirement, including public and private retirement benefits, survivor benefits and pension benefits • Health law • Mental health law Source: www.naela.org

Find an Elder Law Provider Use our step-by-step guide: STEP 1 – KNOW YOUR NEEDS
■ Who will handle the case?
■ Organize and outline all the information pertinent to your situation.
■ Has that attorney handled matters of this kind in the past?
■ If you are calling on behalf of a loved one, make sure that you have as many specific details as possible.
■ If a trial may be involved, does the attorney do trial work? If not, who does the trial work? If so, how many trials has he or she handled?
STEP 2 – CALL ATTORNEYS
■ Is that attorney a member of the local bar association, a health advocacy committee, or trust and estates committee?
■ Use our list to call some attorneys. ■ It is not unusual to speak only to an assistant during an initial call. Here are some questions to ask this person: ■ How long has the attorney been in practice? ■ Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of law? ■ How long has he or she been in this field? ■ What percentage of his or her practice is devoted to Elder or Special Needs Law? ■ Is there a fee for the first consultation, and if so how much is it? ■ Given the nature of your problem, what information should you bring with you to the initial consultation? STEP 3 – INITIAL CONSULTATION ■ When you have found a prospective attorney, make an appointment to see him or her. After you have explained your situation, ask: ■ What will it take to resolve it? ■ Are there any alternate courses of action? ■ What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? ■ How many attorneys are in the office?

■ What is the estimate of the cost to resolve your problem and how long will it take? STEP 4 – DISCUSSING FEES ■ There are many different ways of charging fees and each attorney will choose to work differently. Be aware of how your attorney charges. Ask: ■ Do you bill weekly, monthly, or upon completion of work? ■ Do you charge by the hour? Are there different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries? ■ Is there a flat fee for this service? ■ Will there be any out-of-pocket expenses (charges for copies, postage, messenger fees, court fees, deposition fees and other such costs)? ■ Do you require a retainer? STEP 5 – MAKE IT A GOOD EXPERIENCE ■ Once you decide to hire an attorney, ask that your arrangement be put in writing.

ELDER LAW RESOURCES
Elder Law and Advance Planning Specialized attorneys can help with advance directives 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 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: • if you can no longer eat, drink or breathe on your own; • if you cannot function independent of machines; • if you are confined to bed with no mobility; • if you have little cognitive ability.

RESOURCES AGING LIFE CARE
Understand Aging Life Care™ An Aging Life Care Professional™, also known as a geriatric care manager, is a health and human services specialist who acts as a guide and advocate for families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults. Aging Life Care Professionals are members of the Aging Life Care Association™ (ALCA) and differ from Patient Advocates, Senior Advisors, Senior Navigators and Elder Advocates. ALCA members must meet the stringent education, experience and certification requirements of the organization, and all members are required to adhere to a strict code of ethics and standards of practice. Aging Life Care Professionals are engaged to assist in a variety of areas, such as: • Housing – helping families evaluate and select the appropriate level of housing or residential options. • Home care services – determining the types of services that are
right for a client and assisting the family to engage and monitor those services. • Medical management – attending doctor appointments; facilitating communication between doctor, client and family; and if appropriate, monitoring client’s adherence to medical orders and instructions. • Communication – keeping family members and professionals informed as to the well-being and changing needs of the client. • Social activities – providing opportunities for the client to engage in social, recreational or cultural activities that enrich quality of life. • Legal – referring to or consulting with an elder law attorney; providing expert opinions for courts in determining level of care. • Financial – may include reviewing or overseeing bill paying or consulting with accountant or client’s Power of Attorney.
• Entitlements – providing information on Federal and state entitlements; connecting families to local programs. • Safety and security – monitoring the client at home; recommending technologies to add to security or safety; observing changes and potential risks of exploitation or abuse. • Long-distance care – coordinating the care of a loved one for families that live at a distance, including crisis management. Local, costeffective resources are identified and engaged as needed. A care plan tailored for each individual’s circumstances is prepared after a comprehensive assessment.

Continuing Education Providing learning environments for senior-serving professionals There is no question that the population of Baby Boomers and their aging loved ones is rapidly increasing. Therefore, understanding the needs of these groups and the issues affecting them has never been more important. What some may not realize, however, is that various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is one such school reaching out to professionals with its Odyssey Certificate on Aging. The core and elective courses have been constructed with a broad range of disciplines in mind and are especially relevant to caregivers, clergy, financial planners, lawyers, nurses, social workers, volunteers and work/life planners. However, admission to individual courses is open to any interested adult.
Students receive the Certificate on Aging upon completing four required courses, four electives and a capstone project that allows them to delve into a topic of their choice with the supervision of a faculty adviser. Examples of required courses include ‘Public and Private Programs for the Elderly’ and ‘Biological Aspects of Aging,’ while electives vary with ‘Aging, Nutrition and Fitness;’ ‘Counseling, Case Management and Older Adults;’ and ‘Death, Grief and End-of-Life Planning.’ Designed to address the ethical, financial, legal, medical and psychological issues facing the fastest growing population in the U.S., Odyssey and similar programs allow professionals to better serve the seniors they care for on a daily basis. Like JHU, McDaniel College features programs in Gerontology through The Center for the Study of Aging (CSA). Here, required courses and electives
from 12 departments and programs are offered including social work, communication, exercise science and physical education, biology and religion. The Erickson School of Aging Studies is another program that strives to educate leaders with the goal of improving society for older adults. Focusing on Aging, Management and Policy, the program enables students to immerse themselves in several disciplines using an active learning environment. The Odyssey Certificate on Aging and similar programs are helping professionals improve the lives of older adults one class at a time. Through active learning environments, professionals in the field are gaining a greater understanding of the decisions facing today’s Boomers, ultimately helping them to enhance options for this growing group.
The Certificate on Aging at Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins Certificate on Aging is designed to meet the needs of those who serve aging adults and their families, offering a well-rounded curriculum suited for financial planners, nurses, lawyers, social workers, clergy, care-givers, volunteers, work/life planners, and others.
The Certificate on Aging: » Affordable » Exceptional faculty » Flexible, evening classes
» Part-time » No tests or grades » No admission requirements

Built upon a solid tradition of excellence, Johns Hopkins University offers a noncredit Certificate on Aging, designed for those who work with aging adults and their families. Whether you are looking to advance your career with additional credentials, considering a profession working with seniors, or are a family caregiver, this program has something for you.
Time to Connect Retirement living provides genuine communities Many older adults complain that staying connected with family and friends—or making new connections— becomes more difficult as they age. Modern families are extremely mobile, and children and grandchildren often live at great distances from where they grew up. Many seniors lose spouses or other loved ones as they age. Job opportunities and other demands may force lifelong friends to move. In a world where neighbors are anonymous and friends are only friends online, retirement communities stand out for their genuine sense of community. Retirement communities are often comparable to small villages or college campuses; they offer easy access to both friends and activities. At any of the Mid-Atlantic’s hundreds of retirement communities, residents will find likeminded peers living nearby who are eager to welcome new friends. Residents will also discover an array of activities available just steps from their door, allowing them to enjoy old hobbies and discover new interests. While there is undoubtedly a local community to fit every senior’s unique needs and interests, selecting from among the many great options can be a challenge. Consumers should first familiarize themselves with the available retirement living options—from life plan communities to nursing and rehabilitation centers. The wide range of retirement 24 19-0017-01.indd 24
living options starts with life plan communities, also known as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). These communities generally feature care options ranging from independent living to long-term nursing care on one campus. Residents can transfer to higher levels of care as needed and enjoy a wide array of amenities and activities. Most life plan communities have established requirements for new residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Life plan communities generally offer a range of contract options. For seniors who want to leave the burdens of home maintenance behind, independent living communities may be the ideal option. In addition to property upkeep, these communities also generally offer 24-hour security and activities to keep residents engaged. Costs and services vary widely at these communities, and consumers should carefully review what is covered in the monthly fees. Individuals who need assistance with the activities of daily living—including eating, dressing, walking, transferring and toileting—may want to consider an assisted living community. In addition to daily assistance, these communities also offer activity programs to fit the interests of every resident. The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the
residents. Some communities specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. Finally, whether for a short-term rehabilitation or a long-term medical stay, nursing and rehabilitation centers are a vital senior living option. These centers are equipped to help residents heal and/or maintain their best quality of life and often feature a full schedule of activities. At nursing facilities, care is administered by medical professionals under the direction of a physician. Many of these facilities also offer sub-acute care, respite care and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation services can be particularly important for individuals who are recovering from surgery or an illness. After selecting the type of community that best fits their wants, needs and budget, retirees should start calling individual communities to request additional information. Most communities can provide detailed brochures and easy-to-understand financial information. Once they have narrowed their search down to a few communities, potential residents should plan on-site visits with friends or relatives. Only by visiting a community in person can individuals get a true feel for the lifestyle residents enjoy. More information about all these options is included throughout SourceBook.

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

Life Plan Resident Rights A model Bill of Rights The National Continuing Care Residents’ Association (NaCCRA) developed a model bill of rights that applies to all residents of Life Plan Communities (formerly known as continuing care retirement communities). NaCCRA is made up of senior citizens who live in Life Plan Communities throughout the United States. In keeping with their goal to make sure that Life Plan Communities are as good as they can be, for current residents as well as future residents, NaCCRA developed a model bill of rights that can be adopted by Life Plan Communities throughout the country. Several states have already enacted a legislative Bill of Rights for Life Plan Community residents.
Model Bill of Rights The residents of a Life Plan Community have the right to: 1. Expect full, prompt and complete fulfillment by the management of those services delineated in their contracts. 2. Establish, organize, fund, develop by-laws for, and operate a resident association. 3. Freely assemble, with or without the participation of management and staff. 4. Select and appoint, in accordance with the resident association’s own by-laws, at least three members of the corporate governing board. 5. Be kept informed by the administration, on an ongoing basis, about all significant issues of management, which directly affect residents’ well-being or their financial
investment. 6. Full disclosure of the finances of the corporation, presented at least on an annual basis. 7.

A Guide to Choosing the Right Contract By Kelly Hagler You want to move to a senior living community, but that’s just the first of many decisions you’ll need to make. No matter which community you move to, you’ll have to sign a contract that stipulates the services you’ll receive and what you’ll pay—now and down the road. This guide can help you navigate the different contracts you may encounter as you embark on your search for a new home. Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), also known as life plan communities, offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This setting is generally attractive to seniors who like to plan ahead. CCRCs are most useful for seniors who can come in at the independent living level and move through higher levels of care as needed over time. “The CCRC is a promise of future care, inclusive of the various levels,” says Marc Herrera, vice president of skilled nursing administration and risk
management at be.group, an operator of Southern California retirement communities. “All other types of senior living are month-to-month arrangements.” Most CCRCs are nonprofit organizations with business models surrounding a mission of senior care and service, says Daniel S. Ogus, executive vice president and chief operating officer at be.group. All levels of care in a CCRC are usually provided by the same management. CCRC contracts are more complex than other types of senior living agreements because they offer more services. There are three common types of CCRC agreements that typically secure long-term living accommodations, services and health care for residents.
Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited healthrelated services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements) As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower entrance fee than Type A, should an increase in care become necessary, it

HOUSING LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES
Understand Entrance Fees Knowing the options when paying for life plan communities Most life plan communities require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the life plan community to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: DECLINING SCALE REFUNDS, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For
example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. PARTIALLY REFUNDABLE entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. FULL REFUNDS offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due.

Benefits of Life Plan Communities Avoiding isolation while aging Life Plan Communities and other senior living options can offer many benefits for residents. These range from physical benefits, like healthy meals and fitness programs, to more social and psychological benefits, including opportunities to build friendships and participate in fulfilling activities. Some key benefits include: • Life Enrichment Programs: Senior living communities offer residents a full calendar of life enrichment activities. Active, independent residents enjoy a rich diversity of on-campus activities and community outings. Activities include everything from exercise classes and sports clubs to card games and debate clubs.
800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
19-0018-01.indd 37
• Opportunities for Volunteerism: Most community living offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities for seniors. This might mean helping with book clubs, leading current event discussions, spearheading craft programs, or knitting for hospitalized children. The possibilities are limited only by imagination and initiative.
• Well-balanced Meals: Good nutrition is central to a healthy lifestyle. But seniors are at increased risk for poor nutrition – even malnutrition – for many reasons. In a community senior living environment, mealtime becomes a nourishing and social experience. Older adults enjoy well-balanced meals served in a dining room, where they can interact with friends.
• Peer-to-Peer Support: Healthy relationships with people who understand age-related changes help build strong interpersonal connections. Having someone nearby who can identify with, empathize with and even laugh at shared struggles helps older adults stay positive.
• Planned Fitness Programs: Fitness is essential to the wellness programs offered in senior living communities. Residents can join both formal and informal groups of their peers to exercise on a regular basis.

The Right Contract … Continued from page 31
would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs.
Steps before you sign Regardless of the environment you choose, moving to a senior living community is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and even more research. Here are some important steps to take before signing a contract. 1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management

able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. Understand services covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services. Understand how they charge for specialized programming and activities. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a CCRC contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit CCRCs offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources. “Say someone has lived in the community for 15–20 years and now she cannot afford to pay at that higher level—this program subsidizes her as she continues to live at the same level,” says Herrera.
6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.” 7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 8. Explore, visit, ask questions, repeat. “We want [potential residents] to make the right decision,” says Ogus. “We want them to choose us, but we’d rather them not choose us if it’s not the right decision for them. An unhappy resident can spoil it for the rest of the community. It should be a lifestyle decision, not a sentence.”

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

HOUSING INDEPENDENT LIVING
Independent Living Communities Providing security with no home maintenance Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or singlefamily development, except that they provide special services, including security. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events, organized gatherings and an array of clubs.
Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. Independent living communities typically offer a variety of meal plans. Residents also have the option of preparing their own meals. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services. However, some communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers. Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or singlefamily communities in which residents purchase their units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers
Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities. many services, while in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. To learn more, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. Consumers should carefully research the independent living community options in their target areas or neighborhoods. After requesting and reviewing information from communities, prospective residents should plan on-site visits to each community they are considering.

Congregate Meals and Housing In Maryland, some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program.” 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. 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, 50 19-0018-01.indd 50
housekeeping and personal services. 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. 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 or visit aging.maryland.gov. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

ASSISTED LIVING HOUSING
Assisted Living Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living communities offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily living. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living communities offer basic services, including meals, supervision and security, and help with personal care needs. For many seniors, the help available at an assisted living facility can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living communities are registered, licensed or certified by an appropriate department or agency of the state that has a process for issuance of initial licenses and for renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers. Residents of assisted living communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic activities, frequently called the activities of daily living (or ADLs). Some communities may accept residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In fact, some communities may specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. A few communities serve individuals of any age with developmental disabilities. When reviewing assisted living communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have. The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the residents. One key offering is 24-hour supervision of the residents and the property. Resident safety and security is a priority at all assisted living communities. All communities also offer three meals a day in a group dining room. However, dining options can vary dramatically in terms of the meals available and the costs associated with meal plans. Finally, all assisted living communities offer personal care services, also known as help with the ADLs. These services include assistance with bathing, 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
19-0018-01.indd 51
dressing and toileting. Other services and activities available at some assisted living communities include: • Medication management, or assistance with self-administration of medicine • Coordination of services by outside health care providers • Assistance with arranging medical, health, and dental care services • Social services • Transportation services • Outdoor areas for walking or gardening • Supervision and assistance for persons with Alzheimer’s or other dementias and disabilities • Recreational and spiritual activities • Exercise and wellness programs • Laundry and linen service • Housekeeping and maintenance • Individualized services While assisted living communities do provide a high level of care, it is important to consider what is not provided at these communities
before selecting one. Assisted living communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living communities do not typically provide the level of continuous skilled nursing care found in nursing homes and hospitals. For instance, if a prospective resident needs constant care, a nursing home may be a more viable option. There is no set standard for assisted living accommodations. Therefore, options can vary greatly from one assisted living community to the next. For instance, some communities offer private rooms featuring kitchenettes and private bathrooms, while others offer shared units or shared bathrooms. Consumers must consider the prospective resident’s personal needs, financial means and personal preferences before selecting a community. Source: www.ahcancal.org 51 3/4/19 1:43 PM

Pay for Assisted Living/Personal Care Know your options when paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies.
While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living/personal care costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources. 67 3/4/19 1:44 PM

Access Benefits for Veterans Help is available for service members Individuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and checkups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans.
incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, they will be assigned a priority group. If an individual is eligible for more than one priority group, the VA will place them in the highest group for which they are eligible.
Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is based on priority groups. Congress determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that limited funds are provided to higher priority Veterans first. Priority groups range from 1-8, with 1 being the highest priority. Group 1 includes Veterans who are more than 50 percent disabled, while Group 8 is made up of individuals who are not rated as disabled and who have
Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for longterm care in some instances. Longterm care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans

Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. with everyday tasks and/or provide support for managing an ongoing illness. Long-term care, as defined by the VA, may be provided in a person’s home, a community site, residential setting, or nursing home. Eligibility for services covered by the VA are determined based on a Veteran’s need for ongoing treatment, service availability in their area, financial eligibility, priority group status and insurance coverage. Long-term care services may also be covered though Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or private funds. In some instances, Veterans may
be able to use the Aid and Attendance Allowance to cover needed longterm care. The Aid and Attendance Allowance is an additional monthly monetary benefit provided by the VA for certain Veterans who receive a pension. To be eligible, Veterans must: • Require the help of another person for everyday personal care needs (such as bathing, dressing, or toileting); or • Be bedridden; or • Live in a nursing home and be physically or mentally incapacitated; or • Have poor eyesight (5/200 corrected visual acuity or less in both eyes). The VA also offers a Housebound Allowance to certain eligible Veterans who are restricted to their residence because of a permanent disability. This additional monthly monetary benefit can be used to help pay for needed care services provided in the Veteran’s home. To apply for either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387).

Nursing & Rehabilitation Specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance 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 life-changing event. Who is Nursing Care for? 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. Some enter a nursing home for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness, while others enter on a more permanent basis. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and personal assets are
all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 – 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and

Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event. amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. What to Look for in Nursing Care Before choosing a home, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints.
Instead of going home, a hospital discharge planner could ask you which rehabilitation facility you want to go to. You need a plan so you can stay in control.

NURSING & REHABILITATION HOUSING
Paying for Nursing Home Care Nursing home care can be expensive. There are many ways you can pay for nursing home care. For example, you can use your own money, you may be able to get help from your state, or you may use longterm care insurance. Most people who enter nursing homes begin by paying for their care out-of-pocket. As you use your resources (like bank accounts and stocks) over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid. Will Medicare pay for nursing home care? Medicare generally doesn’t cover long-term care stays in a nursing home. Even if it doesn’t cover nursing home care, you’ll need health coverage for hospital care, doctor services, and medical supplies while you’re in the nursing home. Part A covers skilled care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Skilled care is nursing and therapy care that can only be safely and effectively performed by, or under the supervision of, professionals or technical personnel. It’s health care given when you need skilled nursing or skilled therapies to treat, manage, and observe your condition, and evaluate your care. Medicare covers certain daily skilled care services on a short-term basis (up to 100 days in a benefit period). For more information on Medicare’s coverage of SNF care, visit Medicare. gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800633-4227). Personal resources You can use your personal money and savings to pay for nursing home care. Some insurance companies let you use your life insurance policy to pay for long-term care. Ask your insurance agent how this works. Important: Be sure to get help before using either of these options. There are important issues you need to understand. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
19-0018-01.indd 71
Help from your state (Medicaid) Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Most, but not all, nursing homes accept Medicaid payment. Even if you pay out-of-pocket or with long-term care insurance, you eventually may “spend down” your assets while you’re at the nursing home, so it’s good to know whether the home will accept Medicaid. Check with the nursing home to see if they accept people with Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary state to state. Most often, eligibility is based on your income and personal resources. Many states have higher Medicaid income limits for nursing home residents. You may be eligible
for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home even if you haven’t qualified for other Medicaid services in the past. Sometimes you won’t be eligible for Medicaid until you’ve spent some of your personal resources on health care. Generally, even if you’re eligible for Medicaid, all of your income (except for a monthly personal needs allowance and amounts considered necessary to support your spouse and family living in the community) will go to pay your nursing home expenses and Medicaid will cover the rest. To get more information on Medicaid eligibility in your state, call your local Medicaid office. Information excerpted from a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publication.

Dispelling Nursing Care Myths Get the facts Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation centers have advanced dramatically in terms of clinical practices and the overall approach to providing for the needs and wants of residents. Yet, many misperceptions about “nursing homes” persist. Separating fact from fiction will help you stay open to all of your care options. Some common myths and the corresponding facts are detailed below. Myth: Nursing and post-acute care centers are like hospitals. Fact: While Skilled Nursing and post-acute care centers do offer in-depth medical care, they are very different from hospitals. Today’s centers offer home-like comforts and a less-structured atmosphere. Skilled Nursing Care centers are residentand community-focused, with ample
opportunities for physical and social stimulation. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care center patients never leave or go out on trips. Fact: Skilled Nursing Care centers care for a variety of patients, each with different needs. Some will stay only for a month recovering from an injury or illness; other patients, like those with serious medical conditions, might require a lengthier stay of a year or more. Additionally, many residents are able to leave the center for an outing or to visit loved ones or friends. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care center patients seem confused. Fact: As people age, many slow down physically, get tired more easily, or are not able to express themselves
as well as they once did. These tendencies are normal and expected. Some residents do suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. By providing professional, compassionate care, Skilled Nursing Care centers often help a person stabilize and become their old self again. Myth: Residents cannot make their own decisions. Fact: It is a resident’s legal right to make choices regarding activities, daily routines, health care and other aspects of life. Resident councils provide residents a say in care. These self-governing bodies of residents voice concerns to staff. Residents are also encouraged to prepare advance directives to specify and safeguard Continued on page 73

Fact: Long term and post-hospital care costs vary, depending upon the level of care provided and where the center is located. Overall, Skilled Nursing Care centers represent the lowest cost setting for 24-hour professional skilled nursing and rehabilitative care for both short and long term stays. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care centers do not provide quality care. Fact: Skilled Nursing Care centers are operated by trained professionals who are committed to quality care.

MEMORY CARE SPECIALIZED CARE
Know the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s The Alzheimer’s Association provides the common signs Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s, a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s typical? Sometimes
forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What’s typical? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook. 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or
remembering the rules of a favorite game. What’s typical? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show. 4. Confusion with time or place People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What’s typical? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. Information from the Alzheimer’s Association website. Visit www.alz.org or call 1.800.272.3900 for information, referrals and support.
WHEN TO SEEK MEMORY CARE As Alzheimer’s disease or dementia progresses, there often comes a time when the patient will need more care than can be provided at home. For instance, Alzheimer’s patients frequently need 24-hour supervision to ensure their safety. Individuals with late-stage Alzheimer’s or dementia may even need intensive care around the clock. While it may be difficult for family caregivers to turn to a residential care facility to care for their loved one, it is often the best choice for both the patient and the caregiver. The questions below may be helpful when determining if a move to residential care is a good option: Is the person with dementia becoming unsafe in their current home?
●
Is the health of the person with dementia or my health as a caregiver at risk?
●
Are the person’s care needs beyond my physical abilities?
●
Am I becoming a stressed, irritable and impatient caregiver?
●
Am I neglecting work responsibilities, my family and myself?
●
Would the structure and social interaction at a care facility benefit the person with dementia?
●
Even if a family has planned for a move, making the transition to a residential care facility can be a stressful experience. Caregivers may feel guilty and wonder if they are doing the right thing. These feelings are common. Try to remain focused on the fact that this decision is ultimately about making sure the patient receives the best possible care.

MEMORY CARE SPECIALIZED CARE
Choosing a Memory Care Facility A Consumer Checklist: When choosing a memory care facility, there are a number of factors to consider, including the staff, the facility, the programs and the type of treatment residents receive. Use this checklist to review facilities. STEP 1 – CALL FACILITIES AND ASK QUESTIONS ■ Are families encouraged to participate in care planning? ■ Do staff members communicate openly with families? ■ Are families informed of changes in the resident’s condition or care needs?
■ Are the resident rooms clean and spacious? ■ Are residents allowed to bring personal items with them, such as photos and bedding? ■ Is the food appetizing? ■ Is the dining area a pleasant environment? ■ Can family and friends join residents for mealtime? ■ Can the facility accommodate special dietary needs? ■ Does staff provide assistance with feeding if necessary?
■ Is personal care and assistance provided?
STEP 3 – ASK MORE QUESTIONS AND DECIDE
■ Is medical care provided?
■ Are family and friends able to participate in resident care?
■ Is care personalized to meet specific resident needs, abilities and interests? ■ Is the staff specifically trained in dementia care? ■ Is there a physician and/or nurse practitioner on the premises and a registered nurse on site at all times? ■ What is the ratio of residents to staff? ■ Is staff equipped to handle challenging behaviors? ■ Are planned activities scheduled, and do they actually take place? ■ Are activities designed to meet the specific needs, interests and abilities of residents? ■ Are activities available on the weekends or in the evenings? ■ Is transportation available for medical appointments or personal shopping?
■ Do the visiting hours work for the family? ■ What is the discharge policy? Ask about any situation or condition that would lead a resident to be discharged, including behavior changes and financial circumstances. ■ Is staff available to escort residents to the Emergency Room, if needed? ■ Is end-of-life/hospice care available on site, if needed? Source: Information adapted from the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org). For additional assistance with care decision making, contact the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 or visit www.alz.org.
■ Is physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy available? STEP 2 – VISIT FACILITIES AND OBSERVE ■ Do residents appear comfortable, relaxed and involved in activities? ■ Are residents well groomed, clean and dressed appropriately? ■ What is the rate of falls for residents? ■ Is the facility free of unpleasant odors? ■ Is there indoor space available for residents to move around freely? ■ Are both the indoor and outdoor areas safe, secure and monitored? ■ Is there a designated family visiting area?

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

Life Plan Communities These communities provide a full range of care options from independent living to nursing care. Residents with memory care needs would generally move in while they are still healthy and progress to higher levels of care. Assisted Living Assisted living facilities offer additional support for residents, including assistance with the activities of daily living. Many assisted living facilities offer services specifically designed for people with dementia. Skilled Nursing Facilities These communities offer roundthe-clock care for patients. Some nursing homes have specialized
units and specially trained staff to accommodate the needs of patients with dementia. Special Care Units Special Care Units, or SCUs, are also called memory care units and are designed to meet the specific needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These units are often located within other residential care options. Some of these units are locked or secured for the safety of residents. SCUs generally offer other specialized services, including highly trained staff and activities designed for individuals with varying stages of dementia.

SPECIALIZED CARE HOSPICE
Hospice Care Improving the quality of life remaining A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. How Do I Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out
their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or in-patient hospice residential settings. What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer short-term inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are
free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little out-of-pocket expense.” To receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certifying that they are choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits. Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. In addition to Medicare’s coverage, hospice services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers.

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.

Help from an Ombudsman Advocates can solve long-term care issues The word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term 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. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help 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. What Can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address 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. The counseling received from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help individuals become an
advocate for themselves or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to complaints and then offer information and referrals via the telephone, email or at an inperson visit to a long-term care facility. If the concern requires a formal investigation, 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 to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem. This article was adapted from www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program in detail.
Caring for life throughout the journey with illness and loss is our mission. We understand that making hospice decisions can be overwhelming and confusing to patients and their families. Our care team is here to help. Serving patients and families residing in Prince George’s and Anne Arundel Counties.

SPECIALIZED CARE HOSPICE
Hospice Care Use this checklist to review options: Many individuals and families could benefit from hospice care but are unaware of how to access hospice services. Some are afraid to discuss it, some wait for a physician to suggest it, and some don’t know that they can initiate hospice care on their own, as long as eligibility standards are met.
■ Are there any services, medications or equipment that the hospice DOES NOT provide?
If hospice seems like the right choice at this time, here is how to proceed:
■ How long will visits last?
DETERMINING NEED
■ When the hospice orders medication, where can it be picked up, or is it delivered by the hospice?
■ Does the patient want hospice care? Did they express their wishes before they got sick? ■ What does the patient’s healthcare provider think about moving them to hospice care? ■ Is the patient still responding to treatments? ■ Have treatments become physically or emotionally difficult or intolerable? ■ Does the patient have end-stage Alzheimer’s disease? ELIGIBILITY ■ Does the physician agree that hospice care would be beneficial?
■ What kind of out of pocket expenses should the family anticipate? ■ How often will a hospice team member visit the patient? ■ What will happen during these visits?
■ Do members of the team providing care have additional training and certifications for their hospice and palliative care skills? ■ What is expected of the family caregiver? ■ Will the hospice provide training to family caregivers? ■ Can the hospice provide respite care to give family caregivers a break? ■ How is respite care arranged? ■ Is volunteer assistance available through the hospice? ■ What help do hospice volunteers provide?
■ Can a medical provider recommend a hospice provider?
■ How do families receive volunteer help?
ASSESSMENT
■ If the patient or family is unhappy with any aspect of care the hospice is providing, who can they contact at the hospice?
■ Call potential providers and request assessments. ■ Are assessments provided at no cost and with no obligations?
■ What kind of bereavement support is offered by the hospice?
■ Can a clinician come to the home or to the hospital or facility to evaluate the patient? CHOOSE A PROVIDER ■ Ask lots of questions while interviewing providers. Some options are below. ■ How quickly can care begin? ■ How quickly will a care plan be developed? ■ When can the family expect pain or symptoms to be managed? ■ What is the typical response time after normal business hours, or on weekends and holidays? ■ What is the typical response time if medications are no longer keeping pain under control? ■ How does the hospice handle patients whose care needs can no longer be met at home? ■ What happens if the patient needs inpatient care? 92 19-0018-01.indd 92

Home Care Receive assistance at home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care includes companion care, home healthcare, or skilled nursing care. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of the tasks that
family members would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of companion care providers are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available.
housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders and transportation.
HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exercises,

AGING IN PLACE HOME CARE
Assistive Technology Can Help The world of technology is exploding with options that could allow seniors and baby boomers to live in their homes longer. So why aren’t they all taking advantage of available technologies? The simple answer is because most of the people who would benefit from these technologies are unaware that they exist. We are all familiar with the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial advertising wearable pendants that can be pressed when a person needs help. But there is so much more available today. There are currently devices available that can visually and audibly alert individuals when it is time to take their medication. Given the fact that approximately 40 percent of nursing home admissions are the result of individuals being unable to take medication without supervision, these devices can help more seniors remain at home. Sold in varying shapes and sizes, holding large to small pills,
medication management devices can beep, flash, and text patients and caregivers when it is time to take a medication or text when a medication is missed. They can be purchased with monthly services to allow distant caregivers the ability to manage medications. Devices range from $299.00 to $999.00. Tracking devices are also available that allow people to be found quickly if they wander. These tracking devices can be worn as watches, placed in a shoe as an insert, worn on a belt or worn around the neck as a pendant. According to the Montgomery County Police – Project Lifesaver, it is imperative that an individual is found quickly, because for each moment lost, the search grid expands to a size that makes it almost impossible for individuals to be found. With that in mind, when choosing a tracking device, it is important to know how soon the device will notify caregivers the person is wandering. Very few of
the devices currently on the market can give an exact location. Newer models also include two-way voice communication. The assistive technology market also includes devices that can monitor health, sleep patterns and movement in the house. House sensors can monitor water leakage, movement in the bathroom, movement in and out of a bed or a chair, as well as the opening and closing of cabinets or doors. Finally, there are sensors that can turn off appliances if there has been no movement in a certain amount of time. Using the power of new technologies, caregivers can provide independent, safe living environments for their parents or other loved ones and still have peace of mind. By working with loved ones and professionals, seniors can easily create secure environments where they can age in place.

AGING IN PLACE HOME CARE
Planning for Care at Home by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff, CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care Association™ Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy If you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home. What if You Become Homebound? If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life Care Manager™ can help you access licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your
physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and discharge planner if you are in the hospital or a nursing facility and need to decide on and plan for services in your home once you are discharged. However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services.” You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as
grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety. Accessing services These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health agency certified to provide Medicarereimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospital-based organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization.

AGING IN PLACE HOME CARE
Choosing Home Care Use these questions to interview providers: Before hiring a home care provider, you will want to learn more about their services, reputation and track record. The questions below will help you have productive conversations with providers and their professional references. ■ How long has this provider been serving the community? ■ Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. ■ How does this provider select and train its employees? ■ Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? ■ Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? ■ Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? ■ Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care?
Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers.
■ How does this provider ensure patient confidentiality? ■ If the hired caregiver becomes ill or otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made? ■ Are social security, federal and state taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible? ■ Is there verification that the paid caregivers can legally work in the U.S.? ■ If the hired caregiver is injured, who is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.”
■ Are patients involved in making care plan changes?
■ Are criminal history background checks, state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?
■ Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient?
■ Is there bonding and insurance in place that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages.
■ Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? ■ Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints?
Source: Information adapated from the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC). For more information, visit www.nahc.org.
■ How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems? ■ What are the financial procedures of this provider? ■ Does the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care? ■ What procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week?

Locate Resources
Help is available in your neighborhood and across the country Government agencies are an invaluable resource and can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. 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 wellbeing 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 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
19-0019-01.indd 105
components of this network, which serves seven million Americans age 60 and over as well as 325,000 caregivers, are the Administration on Aging, the State Units of Aging, and the Area Agencies on Aging. Administration on Aging (AoA) As the leader of the Network, AoA works primarily to increase awareness amongst government agencies, organizations and the general public in regards to the needs of the older American population. In addition to recommending policy and developing regulations, AoA is also responsible for providing grants to worthwhile projects. The AoA can be reached at www.aoa.gov or 202-619-0724.
Eldercare Locator In an effort to provide nationwide information assistance to the general public, the AoA developed the Eldercare Locator in 1991, connecting Americans and their caregivers with information about local services. The program puts individuals in touch with local AAAs and other community-based organizations. To contact the Eldercare Locator, call 1-800677-1116 or visit www.eldercare.gov. State Units on Aging The State Units on Aging (SUA) serve as the state arm of the AoA. SUAs coordinate services in their states by working with a variety of state agencies and other public and private organizations. State Units also award grants to AAAs to help create community specific programs. 105 3/4/19 11:40 AM

Pay for Home Care Understanding Costs Can Help With Decision Making As the decision to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option, 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. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. 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 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
19-0019-01.indd 107
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 a limited number of skilled home visits. Costs for these services
vary greatly depending upon coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Contact your local Office on Aging or State Department of Health to find out if there are funds from social services block grants available to cover home care costs. 107 3/4/19 11:40 AM

Medicare and Home Care Know the coverage options When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) 108 19-0019-01.indd 108
It is important for older adults and their families to fully understand which home health care benefits will be covered by Medicare and which will require private payments.
Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and 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. For more information on Medicare coverage, visit medicare.gov.

non-medical aides, companions and homemakers—who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes, and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability

NOTE FOUNDER’S NOTE
AGING WITH PURPOSE There was a time—not so long ago—that “aging in place” meant doing nothing. Too many seniors ignored their increasing needs or their home’s deferred maintenance, stubbornly refusing to seek help or consider a change. They carried on until disaster struck. A fall. An illness. A leaky roof or a fallen tree. It was only in these emergency situations that an adult child or other family member would step in, and the senior would be left with few—if any— choices. Thankfully, that no longer has to be the case. Now, “aging in place” can mean a variety of things. It may mean modifying the current home to better fit a senior’s needs as they age. It may mean moving in with an adult child or other family member. It may mean hiring an in-home caregiver to provide assistance with the activities of daily living—or just to provide companionship. The home care industry has grown immensely to meet the needs of seniors who choose
to age in place. For some seniors, aging in place actually means aging in another place. They may choose to find a retirement living option before a crisis strikes. These healthy seniors have so many choices, from life plan communities to independent living options. For seniors who already need a little help, there are also a wide variety of assisted living and nursing and rehabilitation options. The choice is theirs. With so many options, every family has the opportunity to make a plan and create their own version of “aging in place.” Sourcebook is filled with listings, checklists and articles to help seniors and their families review retirement living options and make appropriate choices. Aging is inevitable. Planning ahead can make it enjoyable. Today’s seniors are no longer just aging in place; they are aging with purpose.
