Innovation

has always been at the heart of Willow Valley Communities’ success.

With the opening of The Clubhouse, Willow Valley breaks through convention to create something that once again helps redefine senior living. Every amenity in this 30,000-square-foot building illustrates the spirit of “agelessness” that guides the philosophy of development at Willow Valley. The building is also a reflection of our organization’s commitment to intergenerational engagement. The Clubhouse opens a new world of possibilities for those who live at Willow Valley and creates a spirit of vibrancy compelling to people of all ages.

David and Jane Acton know fine wine, and they are living a fine life at Waverly Heights, a continuing care retirement community in Gladwyne, Pa.

A Fine Life

By Christy Brudin

t is often said that a fine wine improves with age. These subtle spirits become richer, fuller and more distinctive with every passing year. The same can be said for some exceptional individuals, including David and Jane Acton. Collectors and connoisseurs, David and Jane know fine wine, and they are living a fine life. The Actons are residents of Waverly Heights, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Gladwyne, Pa. Both active and engaged in their retirement community and the larger community, David and Jane are making the most of every 22

After graduating, he spent two years serving in the U.S. Navy. His assignments ranged from working in the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean to the warm seas of the Caribbean. “Of course, working in the Caribbean was a little more pleasant, but overall it was also an opportunity to develop leadership skills at a relatively young age by being placed in charge of groups of men, while at the same time doing

A Welcome Home By Christy Brudin

s a pastor and a pianist, Bob and Louisa Young have always been in the business of making people feel at ease—whether that’s through an inspiring sermon, a kind word or a moving piece of music. Now retired, the couple is still making sure everyone feels welcome at their new home. Nearly five years ago, Bob and Louisa moved to Wellington at Hershey’s Mill, a life care retirement community in West Chester, Pa., and a Benchmark Signature Living Community. Since then, they have made many new friends and have even convinced some old friends to make Wellington their home. A Presbyterian minister, Bob was a pastor at a church in West Chester for nearly 32 years. While he is retired now, Bob still preaches at least once a month for the protestant service on Wellington’s campus. In addition, he offers bible study classes periodically for his fellow residents. A trained pianist, Louisa accompanies Bob during his monthly service. She also plays in the lobby frequently to entertain residents, staff and guests. Bob and Louisa also spend a lot of time with their large family. Two of the couple’s three children live near Wellington and are frequent guests there. The couple also has seven grandchildren and is happily awaiting the arrival of their first great-grandchild. When they aren’t with their family, the Youngs are often visiting with fellow residents. “I’ve always been used to visiting around and getting to know the parishioners, and those habits certainly carry over when you retire,” said Bob. Louisa added, “There is such a nice, welcoming atmosphere here, and we’ve gotten to know everyone on a friendly basis and made many close friends.” Before choosing a retirement community, the Youngs researched several local properties. When they walked into Wellington, they knew they were home. “There is a certain ambiance here,” said Louisa. “This is not the type of place with huge, formal chandeliers; the whole community has a very homey feel. It is a very comfortable place to live.”

The inviting atmosphere that drew the Youngs in is one of Wellington’s most distinguishing features, according to the community’s Executive Director, Anda Durso. “I’ve been in senior living for over 20 years, and you can feel that this community is different the minute you walk in,” she said. “The staff here is so happy, and there is a lot of longevity. The residents all love the community, and it really shows. This community is much like a big family—with lots of smiles and warmth.” While it still feels like a family business, Wellington at Hershey’s Mill is in fact part of Benchmark Senior Living, the largest senior living provider in New England. The company has an excellent reputation in New England, and it is now expanding its top-quality services into the midAtlantic region. Being a part of the Benchmark family means that Wellington has access to well-developed activities and programs, as well as in-depth staff training. Beyond the homey environment, the Youngs also liked the community’s unique fee structure. Unlike many retirement communities, Wellington requires no large, upfront entrance fee. Instead, residents pay a monthly rate according to the type of apartment they occupy, the level of care they are currently receiving and a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. The flexible meal options that Wellington offers further appealed to Bob and Louisa. The fees for independent living include 20 meals per month in the community’s dining room. “You can buy more meals if you need them, or you can get a credit if you don’t use all your meals,” explained Anda. “This option gives our residents the ability to create custom dining plans that truly fit their needs.” The Youngs’ custom meal plan includes frequent evening meals in the community dining room, as well as periodic dinners with their children and grandchildren. “The meal plan works very nicely for us, and we are usually even every month,” said Bob. While the flexibility of the meal plan is nice, it is the delicious meals and dedicated service that are most appealing.

Beaumont: Don’t Just Retire…Start Living!™

eaumont at Bryn Mawr is located in the heart of the storied Main Line, a short drive from center city Philadelphia. The Main Line, named for the railroad that connected a string of towns to Philadelphia in the 19th century, became the home of sprawling country estates built by railroad barons and the region’s business and social elite. Beaumont was founded as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) on William Austin’s magnificent 55-acre estate, with his completely renovated mansion as centerpiece, surrounded by modern apartment wings and luxurious villas. Beaumont was also organized as a non-profit cooperative homeowners association, and continues to be the only CCRC in the nation that is resident-owned, self-governing, with its own, internal management team. Residents, not an outside corporation or board, make decisions for the good of the community and each other. Many residents specifically move to Beaumont because they like having a voice and control over their retirement lifestyle. As owners they can actively engage with the

community by serving on committees according to their personal interests and prior professional experience. Resident committees, for example, spearheaded the design and construction of a brand-new fitness and pool complex, while another committee kept a keen eye on the budgets. The “green” committee, with full board and management support, was instrumental in the recent upgrade of the geothermal pumps to increase heating and cooling capacity and reduce overall energy consumption, and is expanding the rain gardens, native grass plantings and campus-wide composting. The result is a remarkable variety. “There is no bland sameness, nothing cookie-cutter about Beaumont,” said resident and Beaumont board chairman Dr. Trachtenberg. “The communal areas in the mansion, like the music and dining rooms, sparkle with hand-carved woodwork and traditional elegance. The fitness area, pool, and library are

super-modern and bright. I redesigned my villa to fit my personal aesthetic and comfort. And when I walk off my back patio, I’m in the Beaumont woods with old-growth trees and walking trails.” Not all residents, however, choose to be closely involved with running the community. “It’s a matter of choice,” said Joseph Peduzzi, President of Beaumont. “So we offer numerous other ways and opportunities for residents to engage – mentally, physically and socially. For example, we offer educational programming through our Speaker Series, where notable authors and experts discuss their

work and ideas, and through classes on both topical and practical subjects. We have a state-of-the-art pool and fitness center where residents work with personal trainers to stay in top condition. And Beaumont promotes social engagement, one of the primary benefits of living in a community like ours.”

the kitchen. I worked with Victoria to create a menu that reflected Andrew’s everyday favorites. For the cocktail reception, we made juicy, single-serve lavender lamb chops and mini lobster shooters accented by golden grilled corn.” He smiled as he continued. “His love of liverwurst needed some imagination, however…so we made a delicious country pâté topped with brunoised tomatoes and chopped cornichons." The “Welcome Home” dinner was served in all nine dining rooms with white linen and tableside service as usual, and paired with great wines. “I’m center-ofthe-plate oriented, aiming for height and presentation,” continued Chef John. “Serving over 200 perfectly-plated entrees is not easy. But our tender filet served on a bed of October vegetables in a red wine reduction sauce with melted blue cheese was awesome!” Joe Peduzzi summed it up, “Another perfect evening. Our residents may prefer to be independent, to come and go as they please, but they always return home to celebrate the community and their friends. In this respect, nothing has changed. What has changed are their expectations, especially our newer residents. They look for greater choice, more control, and a superior lifestyle where everything is taken care of. Including all aspects of their health care and general well-being. That’s why I am confident, because our residents are so actively involved and always champion new initiatives, that Beaumont stays well ahead of the expected.” With a smile he added, “Residents don’t come to Beaumont to just retire, they really come here to start living.”

Beaumont residents have their own take on social events. When they recently invited the ebullient Victoria Wyeth, granddaughter of American art icon Andrew Wyeth and official “Wyeth family docent”, to talk about his work and personal life, it was quickly turned into a “something-for-everybody” event. A special cocktail reception for prospective residents saw Victoria unveiling several never-seen Wyeth drawings, and featured Wyethinspired cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Victoria’s multimedia presentation of his life’s work was open to all interested residents and guests, and drew a capacity crowd of nearly 250. The highlight of the evening, however, was the annual “Welcome Home” dinner where residents mingle and re-connect after their summer’s adventures. “Dinner is special every single night. We offer residents 40 to 50 menu options, a lot of gluten-free and healthier grains,” said John Bauer, Beaumont’s Executive Chef, “but these events are an opportunity to make magic in

Making a Buzz By Christy Brudin

he saws hum. The drills purr. The hammers bang. The woodworkers are making a buzz again. In the Woodshop at White Horse Village, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Newtown Square, Pa., it is rarely quiet. Industrious woodworkers are going about their various tasks—from building shelves to handcrafting tables. Some of them are hobbyists, others professionals, but they all work for free and donate the proceeds of their efforts to the White Horse Village Endowment Fund or Residents’ Association. Most of the craftsmen’s philanthropic efforts benefit their beloved community and their fellow residents. Since its inception nearly 25 years ago, White Horse Village has been home to two woodshops, and carpentry continues to be a popular activity among residents. Although most of the participants are men, some female residents have gotten in on the action over the years. Today, most of the work going on in the wood shop is to benefit the White Horse Village Resident Reserve Fund. The woodshop has contributed more than $75,000 to the community through the years. The talented woodworkers are also always willing and able to lend a hand to a neighbor in need of a shelf or a furniture repair. While most of the projects benefit White Horse Village, the woodworkers have also taken on some interesting—and unusual—projects to help the larger community. For instance, several volunteer woodworkers have constructed bone boxes— boxes used by University of Pennsylvania medical students to hold bones from cadavers used for research. This past winter, the woodworkers partnered with Swarthmore College and Widener University to build Gamelan cabinets for Stetser Elementary School in Chester, Pa. A Gamelan is a set of traditional Indonesian instruments, and the custom cabinet was built to safely house the unique instruments. Over the years, the woodworkers have also helped with both preservation and environmental efforts. They constructed historic replicas of colonial water jugs and benches that are used at the Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation in Ridley Creek State Park, which is adjacent to the campus. Nearby Edgmont Township received custom cabinets to house their town’s archives. Finally, the woodworkers have been instrumental in the promotion of the statewide bluebird trail. Once an endangered species, bluebirds have returned to the east coast as a result of the efforts of various conservation groups. White Horse’s woodworkers have constructed and maintained 14 bluebird houses on campus. These houses keep the beautiful birds safe from predators, and are now monitored by a dedicated group of residents. The woodworkers also constructed and donated many bluebird houses to neighboring Ridley Creek State Park and Edgmont Township.

Even while taking on outside projects, the woodworkers are still always ready to help at home. Their efforts were essential to the recent renovations to the White Horse Village Clubhouse. With their help, the community was able to salvage and repair much of the existing wood furniture—saving thousands of dollars. The newly refinished benches and tables perfectly complement the beautiful new pieces that were purchased as part of the renovation. The woodworkers have also been essential to the growth and expansion of another White Horse Village institution— the Village Singers. An 80-member chorus, the Singers are the pride of the community, and they continue to grow in both numbers and professionalism. A major boost to their development came when a local chorus offered to donate their library of choral music to the Singers. While the group gratefully accepted the donation, they quickly realized that storing such a large volume of music would be a challenge. “We had all the music envelopes stacked in a helter-skelter fashion,” recalled Kay Stretton, co-director of the chorus. “After we received a donation to purchase wood and supplies, two master craftsmen from the Woodshop volunteered to design and build a superb library, with floor to ceiling shelves, a builtin desk, and a work table, which were then painted by their colleague. The result was spectacular!” One project that never seems to end is the woodshop’s work for Octofair, the Resident Association’s largest annual fund-

raising event. The money raised during Octofair covers programs and activities for the following year; last year, the event raised more than $20,000. Throughout the year, the woodworkers make crafts, toys and gifts to sell at the fair. They also create an intricate dollhouse every year for the accompanying auction. The house is completely furnished and every room is painted, wall papered and carpeted. The projects the woodworkers take on for White Horse Village and the surrounding community are seemingly endless. The dedicated craftsmen are already preparing for Octofair 2016. These talented and generous individuals have become such an essential part of the community that nearly every day someone at White Horse Village says, “Ask the woodshop; they can fix it!” And they do. And that’s what all the buzz is about.

A sampling of items that are sold at the annual Octofair, all made by the woodworkers, including: a miniature doll house, bowls, plates and wine bottle holders.

HOW TO

understand estate planning and probate

elder law attorneys can help

state 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 lifetime and for decision-making 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 decisionmaking, 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 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 consid-

ered. 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 speContinued on page 62

HOW TO

find an elder law attorney

utilize your resources and ask the right questions

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

torney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs as well as the attorney’s billing methods. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue and are there alternative courses of action? n What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? n How many attorneys are in the office and who will handle your case? n How long has the attorney been practicing? n What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of elder law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like or similar to yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? If not, who will go to trial for you? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys?

Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n Are fees computed on a flat or hourly rate and how often does the attorney bill? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred (such as copying, postage, court, messenger and phone fees)? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n Will the attorney require a retainer (money placed in a trust account before services are rendered)? n

For more information: www.naela.org or www.nelf.org.

You will want to inquire about an attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional elder law organizations.

the many benefits of adult family mediation n

By Sig Cohen

Families facing disagreements on issues such as caring for aging parents, encouraging an older adult to stop driving, or equitably distributing trust proceeds are increasingly turning to adult family mediation to settle their differences. Having a neutral third party help a family resolve their disputes is more attractive than the delay, cost and distress of litigation. When family members forge a path forward together, there are no winners or losers. As a result, an elder can look forward to his or her family having less rancor and more mutual respect. Adult family mediation offers families the opportunity to air their concerns in a “safe space.” Sessions are confidential. The process is simple: An adult family mediator confers one-on-one with parties before they meet in a “plenary” session. When they convene, the mediator explains how the discussion will move forward. Then the mediator invites each party (or their attorney) to share their concerns and goals. When a mediator facilitates the discussion, it’s more likely that the parties will listen to the other side and speak without interruption. If an exchange becomes too heated, the mediator will suggest taking a break. Throughout the process, family members are challenged to: (1) identify the issues dividing them, (2) come up with options to settle them, and (3) collaboratively carry out the terms of what they’ve agreed to. Mediators do not give legal advice.

They recommend parties seek counsel from a qualified elder attorney. Nor are they therapists. Again, they suggest family members meet with a professional in that field. Mediation is future focused. While the process cannot repair the past, it provides an avenue to more peaceful, cooperative family relations in the future. Mediation also affords family members conflict resolution tools, so they can settle future disputes without a neutral third party. Once they’ve successfully settled

their case through mediation, families are more confident in their capacity to resolve future conflicts themselves. Adult family mediation brings out the best in people. When family members engage in mediation, their relationship usually moves from friction to traction and from deadlock to determination to put their issues behind them and create more resilient family bonds.

short term annuities approved by court n

By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law

Recently, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that short term annuities are a viable Medicaid planning tool for nursing home residents attempting to protect a portion of their resources and qualify for Medicaid benefits. Many people believe that in order to qualify for Medicaid in a nursing home, you must deplete all of your resosurces. This is not correct. Medicaid annuities permit you and or/ your spouse to protect a significant portion of your resources. Previously, the use of short term annuities in Medicaid planning was under assault by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On appeal, however, the Third Circuit Court ruled that these annuities are legitimate planning tools to help you and/or your family members qualify for Medicaid. As long as the annuity meets federal requirements, it is acceptable. If you require admission to a nursing home, you will be able to protect approximately one-half of your countable resources. For example, you could gift one-half of your resources to a child or other relative and then apply for Medicaid. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Resources would find you ineligible for Medicaid due to the gift. The period of your ineligibility would depend on the size of the gift. Simultaneously with the making of the gift and applying for Medicaid, you would purchase a Medicaid annuity with the

remaining one-half of your resources, and the annuity would pay out only during the ineligibility period. During this period you would pay the nursing home privately by using the proceeds from the annuity and your monthly income. At the end of the ineligibility period, the annuity would be completely exhausted,

you would qualify for Medicaid, and your children would keep the gift. In summary, short-term annuities are a valuable tool to help you protect your resources if you are admitted to a nursing home. If you have questions about annuities, you should contact an elder law attorney.

cific 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 a complete plan for caring for yourself or a loved one, transferring assets, and carrying out all of a clients’ wishes. In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. Be certain to assure yourself that the attorney you choose has such experience and training. Attorneys will ask clients for a great deal of information and will request original documents such as deeds, account statements and insurance policies. It is the attorney’s role to assure that all of the elements of the estate plan are properly

handled and reviewing names on titles, beneficiary designations and other similar information is part of thorough planning. All of the information provided to an attorney is, of course, confidential and may not be disclosed to others without your permission. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), founded in 1987, is a national association of Elder Law Attorneys devoted to the education and training of attorneys who can meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, and who advocate for the needs of such individuals.

you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, AM Page 1 take a general tip from freelancers and

independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two! Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret having given away too much too soon, or to have important things lost in the shuffle.

sort through items Donating or giving away household items (finding new homes for them), or recycling them (finding new uses), can be a frustrating and confusing matter. What can you actually give away, and who will take it? This is often the part of the process where people become the most easily bogged down. The following, from Moving On, discusses a couple of options when you are sorting through your belongings. Donating and Recycling When people want to donate household items, often the first place they think of is one of the major charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America—and for good reason. These agencies are willing to take many of the things we would like to get rid of and put them to good use by either giving them to the needy or selling them in their thrift shops, with the profits going to support their social services programs. Often these organizations will make it even easier on donors by coming to the home to pick up donated items. And when you give to charitable organizations, your donation

is tax deductible. To be considerate when donating, make sure that all clothes are clean and wearable; all appliances are in working order; and anything with multiple pieces, like children’s games or tool sets, have all the parts intact. Exactly which items charities accept varies from organization to organization and from location to location, so it’s best to contact your local outlet for specifics. Some charities post guidelines on their websites for items they will accept. Most charities accept clothing of all types and shoes for men, women and children, as well as costume jewelry and accessories; appliances in working order and household items; televisions, stereos and computers; books, toys and games; and sporting goods. Most do not accept broken appliances, water beds, furniture in bad repair, magazines or old encyclopedias, bathroom fixtures such as toilets or sinks, tires, paint, swing sets, water heaters,

windows or doors. Household items can also be donated to smaller or locally based charities, such as veterans’ associations, churches and synagogues, children’s charities, and programs for the elderly. Community theaters, women’s shelters, prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes also often accept donations of furniture and household goods. You might also inquire at local schools, preschools, day-care centers, art schools, and after-school programs to see if they could use toys, games, books, desks, art supplies or musical instruments. Excerpt from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand, which provides tips to get started, strategies for keeping things in perspective, and extensive listings of where to donate or sell contents of a home.

the basics of de-cluttering n

By Robin Jenks Vanderlip, BA, MC, CMRS, SRES, LUX, Professional Realtor

ometimes life’s most embarrassing moments lead us to take action. An injured raccoon started visiting my bird feeders, which led to him exploring my garage for more food. Noticing he was there, I shut the garage door and locked him in. The animal control officers had been to my house the day prior trying to catch him with no luck. I thought it would be a great opportunity to catch this raccoon and it was, except for the fact that I had a lot of clutter and “JUNK” piled up to one side of my garage, which had to be moved. Is it easier to function in a cluttered space than to take the time to clean it up? When you think about de-cluttering your house, do you get overwhelmed? I do, and to be honest, when I go someplace, especially a home for sale that has stuff all over, I get distracted. One of the most challenging tasks is letting go of things. Think about letting go of stuff like this; “I am choosing to determine what happens to____________________.” From here, it goes to donation, garbage, someone else, etc. It is easier to give things away than to throw things away because we are taking control of the final destination. Ways to De-Clutter: • Fill a bag once a week (or more often)

• Set benchmarks. For exampleo Complete a room/space a day. Spaces can include: kitchen drawers, kitchen cabinets, pantry, refrigerator, freezer, under sink, spice cabinet, books (including cookbooks), laundry room, coat closet, bathroom cabinets, office, magazines, china cabinet, bedrooms, jewelry box, medicine closet, media storage, holiday decorations, tool bench, garage, trunk of the car, etc. • Make some rules for yourself in the form of questions, so you have to be honest with yourself. o “Have I worn/used this within the

last two years?” If no, let it go… o “Why am I keeping it?” If you don’t immediately know, let it go… o “Does this item have a place that it goes?” If no, let it go… Think about some of the opportunities you have. Buy some empty toolboxes and place duplicate tools in them to give away to your grandchildren. It can be really fun to build something like a birdhouse or doghouse together. Or, open a cookbook and make some chocolate chip cookies from scratch and send some cookies and the cookbook home. You can even take this to another level by texting or posting a picture with them on social media. When it comes to clothes and shoes, if you purge out what does not fit or you don’t like/wear, you have room for more. As you clean out your jewelry box, think about who would enjoy a pin or beads before you sell the gold and silver. Finally, if you are going to store things, label them and systematically put them away over the next few months OR slowly start placing items in a box designated to “find a new home.” Clutter is the ultimate time bandit. Your time is valuable to you, so why spend it moving stuff around and being held back by things blocking your way? Let clutter go! You will be free from stress, and you won’t have to clean and organize.

older adult housing market remains strong rising home values prompts sales

he fourth quarter results of the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) latest 55+ Housing Market Index (HMI) released in February 2015 show that builders are feeling quite positive about the market. All segments of the market—single-family homes, condominiums and multifamily rental—registered increases compared to the same quarter a year ago. The single-family index increased six points to a level of 54, which is the highest fourth-quarter reading since the inception of the index in 2008 and the 13th consecutive quarter of year-overyear improvements. “Over the past several years, we have seen demand for 55+ housing explode,” said Timothy McCarthy, chairman of NAHB’s 50+ Housing Council and managing partner of Traditions of America in Radnor, Pa. “While this growth in sales is welcome, many builders are challenged to ramp up home production to fill new home orders.” There are separate 55+ HMIs for two segments of the 55+ housing market: single-family homes and multifamof rising home values, older home ily condominiums.

An index number below 50 indicates family HMI posted increases from a that more builders view conditions as year ago: present sales increased five

points to 58, expected sales for the next six months rose two points to 64 and traffic of prospective buyers increased six points to 39. The 55+ multifamily condo HMI posted a five-point gain to a reading of 40, which is also the highest fourthquarter reading since the inception of the index. All components of the index increased for the fourth quarter: present sales rose five points to 42, expected sales for the next six months climbed five points to 45 and traffic of prospective buyers increased three points to 33. The indices tracking production and demand of 55+ multifamily rentals posted record year-over-year readings in the fourth quarter. Present production rose five points to 48, expected future production increased five points to 51, current demand for existing units climbed 10 points to 64 and future demand jumped 11 points to 66. “The strength of the 55+ segment of the housing industry has been fueled in part by rising home values,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “Older home owners are finding it easier to sell their existing homes at a favorable price, allowing them to rent or buy a new home in a 55+ community.” The National Association of Home Builders is a Washington-based trade association representing professionals involved in all aspects of residential and light commercial construction.

STANDARDS OF PRACTICE AND CODE OF ETHICS The Aging Life Care Association (ALCA) developed the standards of practice and code of ethics to guide Aging Life Care Professionals in their daily professional and business practices. Additional information, as well as the full code, is available on ALCA’s website: aginglifecare.org.

THE CODE OF ETHICS PROVIDES: Accountability to our Clients ALCA members recognize diversity in our society and embrace a multi-cultural approach to support the worth, dignity, potential and uniqueness of each client. The Code of Ethics acknowledges the vulnerable population we serve and makes explicit the highest standards of practice. Accountability to the Public The Code of Ethics sets a national standard for the professional practice of Aging Life Care™. It defines for the public the ethical responsibilities expected of ALCA’s members and the organization’s role in maintaining the highest standards of practice and promotion of ethical behavior. Education of Aging Life Care Professionals ALCA recognizes the diversity of the experience and education of its members and the needs of members for guidance in both their professional and business roles, and thus the Code of Ethics was developed to guide members in each of these roles. It states the core values and principles to current and future members, to the public, and to allied professionals. All members of ALCA are expected to understand and behave in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the Code of Ethics.

A Framework for Analyzing & Resolving Ethical Dilemmas The Code of Ethics offers a framework for ethical decision-making when conflicts arise in either the practice or the business of Aging Life Care. It assists Aging Life Care Professionals in examining the ethical issues present in all aspects of their work by identifying what principles need to be considered and how to prioritize them when it is necessary to make a choice. It asks Aging Life Care Professionals to be aware of their own biases as they seek to resolve ethical dilemmas. Assistance in Reviewing Complaints In ALCA’s Peer Review Process the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice serve as the basis for assessing and resolving ethical or business practice complaints against members in their practice of Aging Life Care.

Resolving Communication Breakdowns When it comes to the different challenges associated with caring for a loved one, poor communication is often at the root of the problem. You can take comfort in the fact that there are others who have grappled with the very same issues and who can share their mistakes and solutions. These individuals can be found through support groups, your employer’s human resources department, or even just by asking trusted friends and neighbors. Seeking Objectivity Sometimes an objective third party’s opinion is beneficial when you are faced with a personal family problem. Mediation professionals specialize in resolving conflicts, making compromises and leading family members through the communication process. One unique feature of this process is the non-judgmental mediator, who is skilled in improving communication among the family members. Seeking Support Attending support group meetings will allow you to meet with

like-minded people, share similar scenarios, confide in each other and build healthy camaraderie. Furthermore, important resources can be shared and solutions from experienced members will abound. Seeking Advocates When it comes to a breakdown in communication between residents and communities, ombudsman are available to advocate for the residents’ rights. This national program is a great solution, as the ombudsman will investigate any complaints and determine what appropriate action should be taken. Seeking Assistance Employee Assistance Programs, often known as EAPs, are a service put in place by most mid-sized and large employers. These programs usually have resources available to help both employees and their families through elder care challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.

By Susan Morisato

edicare is a vital part of the health insurance portfolio for millions of Americans, including baby boomers who are aging into the Medicare program at the rate of 10,000 a day. As boomers review their options for how they can receive their Medicare coverage, they’ll discover that they’ll need to find ways to pay for the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare (Parts A and B) doesn’t cover, such as deductibles, copays and coinsurance. Medicare supplement insurance can help boomers and other beneficiaries limit and more accurately predict their out-ofpocket costs, giving them peace of mind in the event of an unexpected medical issue. Boomers who decide that a Medicare supplement is right for them should consider

Lastly, see what “extras” may be offered to you by the provider if you enroll in their plan. While companies cannot alter the federally mandated benefits of Medicare supplement plans, they can offer you additional value-added features, such as free or discounted access to certain health and well-being services. Your Health Status You’ll also want to consider the potential difficulty of enrolling in the plan you want. Some Medicare supplement carriers underwrite all of their plans, while others underwrite only a select few.

learning for life Older adults are often encouraged to stay active and engaged to keep their minds sharp. But new research indicates that only certain activities — learning a mentally demanding skill like photography, for instance — are likely to improve cognitive functioning. These findings, in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, reveal that less demanding activities, such as listening to classical music or completing word puzzles, probably won’t bring noticeable benefits to an aging mind. “It seems it is not enough just to get out and do something—it is important to get out and do something that is unfamiliar and mentally challenging,” says psychological scientist and lead researcher Denise Park of the University

of Texas at Dallas. “When you are inside your comfort zone, you may be outside of the enhancement zone.” For their study, Park and colleagues randomly assigned 221 adults, ages 60 to 90, to engage in a particular type of activity for 15 hours a week over the course of three months. Some participants were assigned to learn a new skill — digital photography, quilting, or both — which required active engagement and tapped working memory, long-term memory and other high-level cognitive processes. Other participants were instructed to engage in more familiar activities at home, such as listening to classical music and completing word puzzles. And, to account for the possible influence of social contact, some participants were

assigned to a social group that included social interactions, field trips and entertainment. At the end of three months, Park and colleagues found that the adults who were productively engaged in learning new skills showed improvements in memory compared to those who engaged in social activities or non-demanding mental activities at home. “The findings suggest that engagement alone is not enough,” says Park. Park and colleagues are planning on following up with the participants one year and five years down the road to see if the effects remain over the long term. The APS journal Psychological Science is the highest ranked empirical journal in psychology.

edical supplies and equipment fall into two major categories. Medical supplies generally refers to products that are used to make patients more comfortable and need to be replenished on a regular basis. Durable medical equipment includes items that are long-lasting and are generally one-time purchases. Medical Supplies Medical supply products help individuals cope with and manage the symptoms of illness or old age. Products include specially adapted socks and stockings, skin care products and other helpful items. Daily living aids are also available to help individuals who need assistance dressing or taking medication. Home health monitors and specialized in-home tests let patients track everything from blood pressure to heart rate. Durable Medical Equipment Durable medical equipment includes items that help elderly or disabled individuals maintain mobility and/or receive necessary care in the comfort of their homes. Durable medical equipment products can be broken into two major categories: mobility products and care assistance products. Mobility products include a wide range of highly advanced equipment to help individuals get around. Scooters are available in a range of styles to meet individualized needs. Many individuals find outdoor mobility challenging and are searching for a personal mobility vehicle that can help them continue to participate in activities. Lift chairs are another popular mobility product that provide assistance with moving from a sitting to a standing position. Stair lifts allow individuals to move from one level of their home to another with ease, eliminating the dangerous

U niversa l Design

Universal Design

Creating spaces designed for convenience, safety and economy Universal design is a method of designing and remodeling buildings and products to make them more inclusive. These carefully designed spaces and items are more accessible for older people and people with disabilities, as well as for people without disabilities. Universal design concepts can be applied throughout the home environment to make the space safer and more accessible for all occupants.

Stairways The optimal home would have all living areas on one level with no stairs. However, most homes in the region feature living areas on multiple levels which makes the stairway a critical element of design. Some solutions include: n Adequate

grip rails on both sides that extend beyond the landings n Lighting on and around the stairway n Contrasting

colors to provide visual cues n Floor treads n Chair lifts, platform lifts, elevators

Bathrooms A well-designed bathroom starts with ample lighting and non-slip surfaces. Additional features can be incorporated that can make your experience in the bathroom enjoyable and safe including: n

Motion-sensing lighting n Open storage shelves and hooks n Telephone and intercom system by the toilet n Adjustable

height showerhead n Removable transfer seat into a bathtub n Low/no threshold shower n Molded-in or fold-down seat in shower n Elevated toilet or adjustable toilet seat n Auto-flush toilet n Grab bars n Height-adjustable or English style rollunder sink n Lever handle or motion-sensing faucets n Tilting mirrors to improve visibility

Kitchens Well designed kitchens can accommodate the different heights and abilities of family members or visitors to the home. Some designs and products to consider include: n Varying

counter heights n Elevated dishwasher n Roll-out & pull-down shelves n Swiveling cabinet doors with lazy Susan

style shelving n Rolling carts

Dark and light colors for visual contrast n Pull-out countertops below ovens n Side-by-side

refrigerator n Knee space underneath cook tops and sinks n Front control touchpad appliances n Heat-proof surfaces n

“We’ve lived, laughed and loved in our home for more than 30 years. I never thought our own bathroom would become the source of such worry. As Bill got older, he had trouble lifting his legs over the sides of the tub, and I was afraid he would fall and hurt himself. That’s when I called P.J. Fitzpatrick Bath Solutions. Their tub to shower conversion along with their safety package, that places handrails and even a seat in the shower, took the worry out of our day. We’re not worried anymore about not being able to stay in the home where we raised our family. Thanks PJ!” — PJ Fitzpatrick Client 84

Five Simple Tips to Reduce Your Fall Risk

By Timothy J. Clark, DPT, MS, MBA, Physical Therapist, Senior Director, Operations Support, Nazareth Hospital

As you age, your risk of falling increases. Maintaining good balance and stability depends on important pieces of information received by your brain from the eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs (inner ears). If your balance system isn’t working correctly, it could greatly affect how you walk. Certain conditions and illnesses can also put you at a greater risk of falls, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke and ear infections. But don’t worry, your balance can be strengthened to reduce your risk of falls. You can also reduce your risk of falling by following these simple tips: Make Simple Lifestyle Changes Weak legs and poor balance can increase your risk of falling. Quick and easy weightbearing exercises can help keep you and your bones healthy and strong. If you’re unable to walk or stand easily, your doctor may refer you to programs that can build your strength and improve your functional mobility. Nutrition and hydration can also make a difference to your balance. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Know the Side Effects of Your Medications If your medications make you dizzy or drowsy, be sure to tell your doctor right away. Your physician may be able to find a solution for those side effects. Have Your Vision Checked Regularly Seeing clearly is essential to helping you get around safely. If you are having difficulties with your vision, you need to address it immediately. Make sure your glasses or contact lenses are the right strength for you. Make Your Home a Safe Place to Live Look around your house to see if there are any hazards that could cause you to fall. The most common household fallrelated injuries are caused by clutter, poor lighting and small area rugs. To reduce your risk of falling in the bathroom, use non-slip mats and have grab bars installed. Additional lights and brighter light bulbs can help brighten up a dark room.

Find Comfortable Shoes Wearing comfortable, sturdy shoes that have non-slip soles are key to preventing falls. Many fall-related injuries happen when people wear poor-fitting shoes, flip flops or slippers, or walk around barefoot. These small changes can have a big impact on your balance and help you walk without fear. The Nazareth Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance can help determine the cause of your dizziness and provide strategies to help decrease the symptoms and improve your balance. The Balance Program is located at Nazareth Hospital Outpatient Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance at 8113 Roosevelt Blvd. (Holme Avenue and the Boulevard).

You’ve got a friend at Chandler Hall Meet Esther, Ruth, Pearl and Jerome at their favorite table. To see Esther, Ruth, Pearl and Jerome together, you’d think they were lifelong friends. Actually, they are, even though the foursome only met when each came to Chandler Hall. The four discovered they had much in common and bonded over the beautifully-prepared meals in the community dining room. Like many Chandler Hall residents, they discussed different communities in the area with their children, before they decided that life here offered the most advantages. Community activities include bingo, yoga, exercise classes, movies on residence floors’ big screen TVs, trips on the community bus, performances, and much more. Still, one of the best reasons to come to Chandler Hall is

how easy it is to make new friends. “We were lucky to find each other,” says Esther. Ruth chimes in, “We all get along as if we’ve known each other for a long time.” Pearl and Jerome add, “There’s a lot to do here, whether on your own or with others. It’s easy to stay active.” To find out more or to take a tour, call us today at 215-497-0905 or visit us on the web at www.CH.Kendal.org Chandler Hall Health Services 199 Barclay Street Newtown, PA 18940 www.CH.Kendal.org

After taking in the captivating artwork by Pennsylvania Impressionists at the James A. Michener Art Museum, visitors might be surprised to learn that they’re standing in a former Bucks County prison. Today the museum preserves, interprets and displays the art of the Bucks County region, and it hosts traveling exhibitions.

Visitors to Peddler’s Village at Christmas time can step through the magnificent holiday lights display. Peddler’s Village offers outdoor shopping in an 18th century inspired shopping village.

HOW TO

stay surrounded with activity

active adult communities keep residents moving

or those unfamiliar with available living options, the image of the “senior community” may need a serious makeover. Many individuals still think of retirement communities as dreary “facilities” with an institutional feel. This could not be further from the truth today. Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice. In fact, individuals often choose to move into an active adult community as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. The amenity filled communities are often adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities. Not Just Active, but Pro-Active Active Adult community residents say they are making the move because they want to enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle, not because of deteriorating health. Simply put, it is their choice. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several active adult residences are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. This continuum of care allows active adults to make the most of the present while planning for the future. Gaining Independence Active adult communities often have a full range of entertainment options, and most of the costs are included in the living fees. They are ideal for retirees, but are not limited to those who have stopped working. Many residents continue to put in hours at work, while others fully explore long-lost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenancefree yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with fa-

Active Adult communities seek to meet the needs of Baby Boomers by providing environments in which individuals can enjoy the many amenities of a community lifestyle.

vorite hobbies and group activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. Instead of navigating traffic when going to the gym or beauty shop, residents can often walk a few blocks to an on-site facility. There is also something to be said for having an elegant dining room in the community, although cooking in one’s private residence is still an option. What to Look For You can start by requesting an information packet from every active adult community you are considering. Make sure to read it carefully, and keep them all organized in a folder or file cabinet. Once you have narrowed down your Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

options by perusing the brochures, schedule a visit to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. If you attended college or had to consider employment in a new area, remember the criteria you used in making that decision. This is no different. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

boomers retiring at a quick rate most ready to retire, already collecting social security

he first set of Baby Boomers, those born in 1946, continue to be myth-busters, according to a recent study, Healthy, Retiring Rapidly and Collecting Social Security: The MetLife Report on the Oldest Boomers. The data, from the company’s MetLife Mature Market Institute, says the earliest Boomers aren’t necessarily “working ‘till they drop,” as was predicted. More than half (52%) of the 1946 Boomers are now fully retired. Of those, 38 percent say, “I’m ready,” while 17 percent cite health reasons and 10 percent attribute a job loss. Twenty-one percent remain employed full-time and 14 percent are working part-time; of those, most plan to retire fully by age 71, up from 69 in 2011. The figures from the MetLife Mature

seem to be largely feeling healthy and positive. On the negative side, a good half of this group may not have achieved their retirement savings goals and are not confident about paying for the next phase of their lives.” Among further findings: • 86 percent are collecting Social Security benefits; 43 percent began collecting earlier than they had planned. • Only 14 percent of the oldest Boomers are working part-time or seasonally; 4 percent are self-employed. • Long-term care rose to the top of the list of retirement concerns; 31 percent reported concern about providing for themselves or their spouses. • Despite the fact that they are worried about long-term care, just under a quarter owns private long-term care insurance. • 82 percent want to age in place and do not plan any future moves. • Eight percent are “upside down” on their mortgage, owing more than the value of their home. • The average number of grandchildren is 4.8. • 79 percent of the oldest Boomers have neither of their parents living, but more than one in 10 are providing regular care for a parent or older relative; for many, the level of care has increased. • Oldest Boomers continue to believe they will see themselves as “old” at the age of 78.5.

Instead of “working ‘till they drop” as predicted, the oldest Baby Boomers are enjoying all that retirement living has to offer by remaining active and engaged.

• 16 percent of the oldest Boomers see themselves as being sharpest mentally now, in their 60s, but the largest group (30%) believes they were sharpest in their 40s. • More than 40 percent of the oldest Boomers are optimistic about the future. Nearly a quarter of those are optimistic about their health, and two in 10 feel good about their personal finances. • More than half of the oldest Boomers feel their generation is leaving a positive legacy for future generations. Values and morals and good work ethic were the top two items cited.

HOW TO

receive care for life

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

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

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

Moravian Hall Square’s Life Care Contract means if I ever need personal care, memory support or nursing care services, they are included as part of the contract.

HOW TO

understand entrance fees

knowing the options when paying for ccrcs Most CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement

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

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

R e a l-L i f e Story

ary and Susan, both retired educators, moved from Doylestown, PA to Cornwall Manor Retirement Community in Lebanon County in 2013. “After being involved with both family and friends who waited too long and then were too overwhelmed to make plans and decisions, we knew we wanted to make a different choice and move right after we retired. We investigated a number of options, but Cornwall Manor stood out as the best. Once we decided on Cornwall Manor, we were anxious to move in and that proved to be one of our best decisions. The sense of freedom in living here is so refreshing. Our home is perfect for us and the people, both residents and staff, are consistently wonderful. There are many different programs, activities and volunteer opportunities from which to choose.

Gary & Susan Bitner in their Woods Home at Cornwall Manor

We can be as active (or inactive) as we want. Our children are happy for us. We were committed to the move, but

living at Cornwall Manor has far exceeded our expectations.” The Bitners moved so they could enjoy the opportunities available to them at Cornwall Manor (Gary is a runner and enjoys the wooded trails, and Susan volunteers for a variety of activities.) Cornwall Manor has a variety of lifestyle options on our beautiful 200 acre campus – from new homes at The Woods and new Carriage House apartments to single and duplex homes and apartments on the Buckingham Campus. And if health care is ever needed, there is a Visiting Physicians Office, home health care, outpatient therapy, personal care and a skilled nursing center for short-term rehab and long term needs. Cornwall Manor residents have priority access to our 5-star rated Health Center.

a guide to choosing the right contract n 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 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 organiza-

tions 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 longterm living accommodations, services and health care for residents. 1. Type A (Life Care Agreements)— According to the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited health-related 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.

Live well with us at Frederick Living!

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, the CARF cautions that, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements)—Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says 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. 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 which services are 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.

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

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.”

HOW TO

live independently

communities offer security with no home maintenance

What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to

HOW TO

understand rental options

what is available and how to qualify

ccording to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level qualifies, at a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing or low-income housing that is owned and operated by a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with loans or grants from the federal government. The owners

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.

and who have 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. Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for long-term care in some instances. Long-term care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/ or provide support for managing an ongoing illness. 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. Longterm 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 long-term care. The Aid and Attendance Allowance is

is independent living the right choice for you?

eniors choose independent living for a variety of reasons. Some older adults feel isolated in their homes and seek out senior living options for the companionship they offer. Others begin to have difficulty maintaining their aging home and opt to move to avoid the hassles of home repair and maintenance. Still others want to be able to participate in a wide variety of activities without having to drive to various locations. The questions below will help seniors and their families determine if an Independent Living community may be the right choice for them. • Do you feel isolated in your home? • Do you find it difficult to get around your neighborhood? • Do you lack relationships with your neighbors? • Do you have difficulty driving? • Do you wish that someone else would drive you to your errands and appointments? • Do you have a hard time getting out of the house? • Do you frequently go for weeks without seeing friends?

• Do you wish you had more of a social life? • Do you miss participating in favorite activities? • Do you find it difficult to run errands alone? • Do you have a difficult time keeping up with home maintenance? • Do you find it challenging to clean your home? • Do you feel unsafe in your home or your neighborhood? • Do you find it hard to climb the stairs into or inside your home?

tivities of daily living, including eating, bathing and toileting? • Do you have a chronic health condition? • Are you able to manage your own medications? • Do you make and keep your own doctor’s appointments? • Can you manage your finances on your own? • If you need additional health care later in life, how will you handle that? • Are there higher levels of care available at the community you are considering (or at a sister community)?

If you answered “yes” to most of the above questions, you may want to consider Independent Living. However, you will also want to consider your current and future health care needs before making a final decision. For instance, if you have a chronic health condition, you may want to consider an Assisted Living community, or a community that offers both Independent Living and higher levels of care on the same campus. • How is your current health? • How is your spouse’s health? • Do you currently need help with the ac-

Carefully review your answers to these questions with your spouse and/or family. Be open and honest about your current and future needs and desires. For many seniors, Independent Living offers the perfect lifestyle—one with no home maintenance or transportation worries and with plenty of social and recreational opportunities. With a wide array of communities available locally, you are certain to find a community that offers you both the independence you desire and the security you need.

HOW TO

choose assisted living/personal care

an option that provides supportive services Assisted Living/Personal Care communities offer housing and a variety of supportive services delivered by qualified staff members. As opposed to independent living communities, health care services are available at these facilities. In January 2011, the state of Pennsylvania instituted changes in legislation regarding the use of the term “assisted living.” The state’s new term “personal care home” is defined as follows: “A premise in which food, shelter and personal assistance or supervision are provided for a period exceeding 24 hours, for four or more adults who are not relatives of the operator, who do not require the services in or of a licensed long-term care facility, but who do require assistance or supervision in activities of daily

HOW TO

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 communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are 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. The nationwide average cost for an assisted living/personal care residence is $2,714 per month or $32,572 annually. These figures are averages only and do not account for more affordable or subsidized options that are available in most areas. 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.

10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living/Personal Care Facility

1. M ake an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions.

4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are

interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman who serves as an advocate for assisted living/personal care and nursing home residents. 7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility. 8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate or move to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee. Ask what additional charges apply for services/products.

10. Choose the facility that comes closest to your needs. From The Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a national consumer education and advocacy organization. Visit www.ccal.org for more information.

What is Person-Centered Living?

The non-profit national advocacy organization previously known as the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL) is now known as CCAL-Advancing Person-Centered Living. They helped coin the term “person-centered living” that is now commonly heard in the assisted living and personal care field. While the term may be familiar to professionals, it may still be confusing to consumers who are just beginning to investigate assisted living/personal care options. So what is person-centered living? CCAL coined the term person-centered living (PCL) as a reminder that as people grow older or have disabilities they should not experience a loss of humanity or choice regardless of where they live. PCL means living as one chooses to. PCL is based on humanistic beliefs that every individual has a unique background, human experience, and the right to determine how to live his/her own life. PCL is also relationship-based and focused on supporting the individual’s emotional, social, physical and spiritual well being (e.g., belonging, experiencing a continuation of self-worth, purpose, meaning, enjoyment, comfort and opportunities for growth). CCAL upholds the PCL principle, “Nothing About Me Without Me.” This simple phrase means that every elder and individual with a disability is provided choice, privacy, dignity, respect, independence and autonomy. Elders and individuals with disabilities have the right to determine their needs; decide how best to have those needs met; and give feedback about the quality and nature of the care, services and supports they receive. If support is needed, supports are centered on their personal preferences and values that honor their selfhood. A person-centered culture is nurturing, empowering and respectful, and it optimizes the well being of not only the elder and individual with a disability but also the family and larger caregiving and/or services and support network. Ultimately, person-centered living means being kind, respectful and sensitive to those being served and honoring their right to make their own choices, regardless of the setting.

HOW TO

choose alzheimer’s care

a special care residence may be the right option

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

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

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

HOW TO

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.

HOSPICE

find hospice care 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. What is Hospice Care? 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 rou-

tines, surrounded by their treasured pos- How Do I Pay for Hospice?

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

HOW TO

evaluate nursing care

specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance

hile some individuals are able to continue running their households with little assistance, there are those who may have debilitating physical or emotional conditions that require care beyond what family or professional home care aides can provide. It is best to start researching nursing facilities before an emergency arises to avoid making a less than ideal choice.

What is Nursing Care? At a nursing home, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other lifechanging event. 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 oth-

ers 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 amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate.

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. Visit your prospects at different times of day. Talk with residents. Be persistent about getting your questions answered.

Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a sad day for most. Reassurance from family and friends that love and contact will be maintained can ease the transition. The following steps may help lessen the trauma of this change: n Talk about the admission in advance and describe the home in detail. n Visit the home with the prospective resident beforehand and get to know the administration. n Involve the prospective resident as much as possible in the decision-making process. n Decide together what items to bring What to Look For in Nursing to the nursing home.

HOW TO

solve long-term care issues

an ombudsman can help

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 longterm care providers.Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a long-term 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 in-person 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 LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program in detail.

Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services.

HOW TO

pay for home care

understanding costs can help with decision making As remaining at home is becoming an increasingly popular option for many, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments and range from $15-$25 per hour. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. Prices for home health care also range from $15-$25 per hour. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from state to state, you will need to contact your local Area Agency on Aging for more information concerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements

Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid.

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.

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, My father is terminally ill, and I have been doing research about possible options for his care. I came across information about hospice care, but I am not sure what it is. Does Medicare cover hospice, and if so, what are the requirements? — Erik (Allentown, PA) Dear Erik, Hospice is a type of health care intended to provide compassionate, comprehensive, quality care for individuals with a terminal illness who are facing the end of life. Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and pain management (palliative care), rather than curative treatments for an illness. It usually involves a team approach to care, with doctors, nurses, social workers, and other professionals coordinating care that focuses on physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Original Medicare will cover hospice care if your father meets all of the following criteria: • He has Medicare Part A • The hospice medical director (and his doctor, if he has one) certifies that your father has a terminal illness (his life expectancy is six months or less) • Your father signs a statement electing

to have Medicare pay for palliative care such as pain management, rather than care to try to cure his condition • His terminal condition is documented in his medical record • He receives care from a Medicarecertified hospice agency An individual does not need to be homebound to qualify for the Medicare hospice benefit. The benefit is a comprehensive set of services delivered by a team of providers. A lot of hospice services are provided in the home, but inpatient care is covered under specific circumstances. The hospice benefit is always covered under Original Medicare. If your father has a Medicare Advantage Plan and elects hospice, Original Medicare will automatically pay for his hospice care. His Medicare Advantage Plan will continue to pay for care that is unrelated to his terminal condition. For example, if your father breaks his hip while in hospice, his Medicare Advantage Plan would pay for hip-related care. The Medicare hospice benefit covers many different services, including skilled nursing care, prescription drugs related to pain relief and symptom control, spiritual counseling, and more. Medicare will cover these services if they are listed on a beneficiary’s plan of care. The hospice benefit includes two 90-

day hospice benefit periods followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods. Your father must have a faceto-face meeting with a hospice doctor or nurse practitioner if he reaches his third benefit period. The third benefit period begins on day 180 of hospice. After that, your father must have faceto-face meetings with a hospice doctor or nurse practitioner before the start of each subsequent 60-day benefit period. The meeting must take place no earlier than 30 days before the new benefit period to confirm that your father still qualifies for hospice care. If you think your father is eligible for hospice services, you two should speak with his doctor about this care, and request that his doctor contact a Medicare-certified hospice on his behalf. There may be several Medicarecertified hospice facilities in your area. If the first one that you contact is unable to help, try contacting others.   —Marci Marci’s Medicare Answers is a service of the Medicare Rights Center (www.medicarerights.org), the nation’s largest independent source of information and assistance for people with Medicare.

the medicare age is still 65 n

By Sandy Johnson

If you’re in your sixties, you probably know that the age to receive full retirement benefits has changed. But it’s important to remember that the age to begin receiving Medicare has not — it is still 65. Even if you have decided to wait until after you are age 65 to apply for retirement benefits, most people should start getting Medicare coverage at age 65. If you would like to begin your Medicare coverage when you first become eligible, we suggest that you apply within three months of reaching age 65. You can do it online in as little as 10 minutes at www.socialsecurity.gov/medicareonly. At the website, you’ll find more than just the online Medicare application. You’ll also find information about Medicare, and have the opportunity to watch some short videos about applying for

Medicare online. One is a family reunion for the cast of The Patty Duke Show. In another, Patty Duke and George Takei go boldly where you should be going — online. Why go online to apply for Medicare? Because it’s fast, easy and secure. You don’t need an appointment and you can avoid waiting in traffic or in line. As long as you have ten minutes to spare, you have time to complete and submit your online Medicare application. People who started receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits before age 65 do not need to apply; they will be automatically enrolled in Medicare. There is no additional charge for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A), since you already paid for it by work-

ing and paying Medicare tax. However, there is a monthly premium for medical insurance (Part B). If you already have other health insurance when you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider whether you want to apply for the medical insurance. To learn more about Medicare and some options for choosing coverage, read the online publication, Medicare, at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10043.html or visit www.Medicare. gov.

Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers

If facing this decision, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision:

1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or

homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.”

otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?

2. Are social security, federal and state

5. Are criminal history background checks,

3. Is there verification that the paid

6. Is there bonding and insurance in place

taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible?

caregivers can legally work in the U.S.?

4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who

is responsible? Remember that many

state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?

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 related to the caregiver(s)

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

working in the home.

7. A ssuming family is not available to

supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services? If the adult caregiver does not have the time or resources available to answer these important questions, the services of a professional home care agency or adult day care center may be the right solution.

Making A SAFER HOME for Seniors NON-SKID RUGS

Remove throw rugs, use rubber backing or apply double-faced adhesive carpet tape to the backs of all area rugs and runners to prevent slipping. REVIEW MEDICATIONS

The medications you take—and even the foods you eat—can affect your balance. Check with your doctor or pharmacist annually to review your medications and diet plan. Used with permission from The Home Safety Council

HANDRAILS

Install handrails on both sides of all stairways—making sure they extend the full length of the stairway. Also make sure you have lights at the top and bottom of the stairs. BATHROOM SAFETY

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

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

It’s best to wear thin, non-slip soled shoes, not thick-soled jogging shoes.

H o m e H E a lt h C a r e R e a l-L i f e Story

athy Dovidio and her mother, Maria Lacross, have always been there for one another. It is a bond that was further strengthened with the passing of Kathy’s father and brother. “It’s been just the two of us for quite some time,” said Kathy. A longtime resident of northeast Philadelphia, Pa., Maria worked as a registered nurse at St. John Neumann Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. Having started a family of her own, Kathy moved to the suburbs with her husband and three children. She started researching nearby options for Maria and found a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) that offered an array of activities and convenience for Maria. “One of mom’s favorite things to do is play Bridge and she had a great group to play with there,” said Kathy. During this time, Maria participated in a University of Pennsylvania study focusing on people with mild cognitive impairment.

She discovered she had Frontal Temporal Dementia, which affects executive function, language and behavior, and would impact certain activities, such as driving. Kathy knew immediately she wanted Maria to live with her family. Although she first looked into an adult day program, she quickly decided a home health care company would be a more viable solution. “Over time, it was challenging to work, help my family, and help mom,” said Kathy.

“I felt if I could just get a few hours of help from time to time, it would make things better.” After consulting SourceBook, Kathy found Visiting Angels and has been happy ever since. They started with caregiver visits for a few hours in the evening, but Maria’s increasing confusion posed a concern for her safety. Now attending an adult day program, Maria has a Visiting Angels caregiver to help her get ready in the morning and greet her when she returns home. “What I love about the caregivers is they are very dependable and always accommodating,” said Kathy. “It’s not easy, but they work really well with her.” For Kathy, knowing her mother is able to spend time with her grandchildren and have the support she needs has provided a sense of relief. “I feel I have the utmost quality of oneon-one care; they have simplified my life and I know my mom is safe at home,” she said.

HOW TO

make aging in place possible

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

CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.

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

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

HOW TO

prevent falls

accidents can be serious for seniors

ccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Common injuries from falls include hip fractures and head traumas. For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life threatening injuries. Even if a fall does not result in an injury, it will likely leave the senior feeling scared and may lead to a gradual limiting of activities. Fear, combined with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, will only increase the risk of a fall in the future. National and local community and non-profit organizations are working with seniors and their families to help decrease the risk of falls and lessen the impact of falls after they occur. These organizations provide information and services that may help improve the quality of life for seniors. Understanding the Risks On both a national and a local level, the risk of falls is one of the largest, preventable medical challenges that seniors face. The statistics on falls and the injuries they cause are alarming. For instance: • In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries, according to the CDC. • The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade (CDC). • In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billion—$179 million for fatal falls and $19 billion for nonfatal fall injuries. This equals $28.2 billion in 2010 dollars (CDC). Injuries from a fall can range from minor to severe, but the risk of serious injury is much greater among the senior adult population. For many seniors, falls

are the initial injury in what becomes a long hospitalization and recovery process. For others, falls may result in a loss of independence, or in the most severe cases, a loss of life. Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; weight-bearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improve-

There are several steps that can be taken to identify and correct potential fall hazards in or around the home.

ment all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options. Resources The CDC is partnering with several other government agencies to promote a national action plan to prevent falls, which includes research, state grant funding, evaluation projects and information projects. Education efforts have included the development of brochures, posters and a pocket guide for physicians. Information adapted from the Centers for Disease Control.

HOW TO

find daytime supervision

centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers

dult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers, as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision for those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information.

While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accessibility for persons in wheelchairs or using walkers. The entire facility should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do

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

Your Local Agencies On Aging

Pennsylvania Bucks County ...................................................... 267-880-5700

On the local level, Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs)

Chester County .................................................. 610-344-6350

coordinate and provide services to meet the needs and concerns of residents who are 60 years of age and older. The Department of Health and Human Services defines an AAA as a “public or private non-profit agency, designated by the state to address the needs and concerns of all older persons at the regional and local levels.” Because of the many services and programs they offer, AAAs are one of the single most important retirement resources. Available services vary by locale.
