a stool with purpose
P
rofessionals in the retirement living industry have been talking about the “three-legged stool” of retirement for decades. Until recently, they were usually referencing the three traditional options for financing retirement: social security, pension plans and personal savings. While financing options have changed and expanded well beyond these three “legs,” with a little refreshing
this once overused analogy can still apply to retirement living. A source of income is undoubtedly essential for retirees, but I – and many of my colleagues – would argue that the most important aspect of a happy retirement is a sense of purpose. Regardless of age or physical or mental capacity, we all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning – no matter what it is. Purpose, I think, is the top of the new retirement stool. Supporting the top are three equally important “legs:”
neighborhood connections, getting around (transportation) and accessible environments. Neighborhood connections are essential because they provide access to services that are often free. Think of neighbors who are willing to lend a helping hand and county facilities that are available to all residents. Living in a tight-knit neighborhood can also decrease an individual’s dependence on their personal automobile and encourage active participation in
Son? Or Stranger?
Being unable to recognize the obvious often occurs with persons living with dementia and demands round-the-clock care. Talk to Arden Courts.

volunteer, cultural and social activities. Getting around can become more difficult as you age. Transportation, therefore, is a key component of a retirement life filled with purpose. Carpooling, ride sharing and public transportation are all good options that can help keep this leg of the stool strong. No one likes to think about changing their home to accommodate decreased mobility or abilities; however, the realities of aging make this an important aspect of a purposeful life. Retirement residences should be designed or modified with accessibility in mind long before a crisis
occurs. The home environment needs to be safe, comfortable and practical. Throughout SourceBook, you will find how-to articles and detailed listings to help you build your own retirement stool. Whether you are looking for a retirement community or longing to age in place, we have options that will ensure that your focus stays on finding, and living, your purpose.

eatrice “Bea” Daniel absolutely adored her Arlington home where she and her husband raised two children and lived for 43 years. The home, built in the 1930s with unique plaster details, definitely had Bea’s personal touch throughout it. She states, “I was somewhat of a collector of memories. If there was wall space, I filled it up.” When the four-story home started to become difficult to manage, the couple began to investigate retirement living options. Bea and her husband, David, did quite a bit of research looking at six or seven communities seriously, but eventually determined they wanted to find an option in Northern Virginia within close proximity to their daughter and her family in Vienna. They then learned about Ashby Ponds, a community that was being developed in Ashburn, Va., which made the choice easy. “I heard about the community when it was just a dream,” says Bea. “We were familiar with Greenspring, but Ashby Ponds would enable us to be closer to our grandchildren.” Their daughter was also their Realtor
and gave the couple some sage advice in moving out during the downsizing preparations. One of the couple’s close friends had a vacant condo that they rented to the Daniels for three months while their home was being prepared for sale and their new apartment at Ashby Ponds was being finished. At first, the transition did not come easily to Bea. “I don’t adjust quickly to change. It took my husband all of 10 minutes and he felt like he was at home,” she says. “For me, once I got my pictures on the wall and my apartment was the way I wanted it to be, I could relax and feel at home.” Now, the couple is completely settled and enjoying all of the benefits of their new home. “I have joined the activities that mean something to me,” says Bea. “One person could not do everything here; there is so much to offer. The staff is incredible and the residents are very well taken care of.” To make her home even more comfortable, Bea called on a company that had previously helped her with her beloved Arlington residence. She was challenged with an inefficient linen closet. After making
inquiries, she discovered ShelfGenie, a custom glide out shelving system that organizes and maximizes storage spaces. “I loved what they did with that one closet. Everything was now within reach,” she says. Bea intentionally waited a while to better understand her new space and needs, knowing ShelfGenie could ultimately create solutions for her, especially in the kitchen. “I can’t bend down as low or reach as high as I used to, but I still wanted to utilize all the space,” she says. She worked closely with her ShelfGenie consultant, Maria White, who Bea says listened to her concerns and helped her create the perfect solution. “I am very happy with my kitchen; everything is where I want it to be,” says Bea. “It really was a good experience.” And with the assistance and advice she has received, she offers her own to others considering a move to a retirement community. “Do your homework, visit places where you think you will be comfortable, look into waiting lists and the investment needed.” Most importantly, she continues saying, “Make the move before you need to.”

A Chance Worth Taking
T
By Christy Brudin
he past cannot be changed. History may repeat itself, but it can never be rewritten. The forward march of time offers no do overs and few second chances. Therefore, when an opportunity presents itself, it must be seized. Werner and Elizabeth Schumann, residents of Ingleside at King Farm, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Rockville, Md., know all too well that chances rarely come twice. They both left Germany early in their lives to find a fresh start in the United States. Later, the two overcame a deep historical and cultural divide and took the chance on each other. Now, they are enjoying an active retirement together. Born in Germany, Elizabeth moved to the United States when she was 12. “I knew all of 150 words of English,” she recalled. Despite the language barrier, Elizabeth excelled in school and went on to receive her Master’s degree in social work from the University of Chicago. She worked for many years as a clinical social worker, including her most recent post at the National Institutes of Health. For Werner, the road to the United States was a bit bumpier. He lived in Berlin throughout World War II. Werner’s father was a Nazi party member, and he recalls feeling very disillusioned with his homeland as a young man. “After the War, when I learned about the Holocaust and the general breakdown of society, it turned me very much against the country,” he said. “I was very fortunate that I was able to come to the United States, where I got a fresh start.” Prior to immigrating, Werner received some training in still photography, but his career really took off in his new adopted country. After he was drafted into the U.S. Army, he was delighted to learn that his orders would take him to Motion Picture Cameraman School in Ft. Monmouth, N.J. Before he was drafted, Werner met Elizabeth in a young adult’s discussion group. He remembered, “The discussion group intrigued me very much because it dealt with the struggles that I had tried to cope with in Germany and hadn’t really put behind me.” With its focus on ethical issues, the group became a place for Werner to sort out the repugnant past of his native country. Werner was busy seeking spiritual direction when he
inadvertently found love. After spotting Elizabeth at a Thanksgiving dinner, he waited for the perfect opportunity to ask her out. “I sidled up to her and tried to get a date with her, and I was flatly rejected,” he said. “Politely rejected,” Elizabeth added with a smile. Elizabeth explained that because of their very different backgrounds, she could not initially imagine dating him. While Elizabeth is Jewish, Werner is a non-Jewish German. “It was totally inconceivable to me that I could ever date someone who came from Nazi Germany and was non-Jewish,” she recalled. After nearly a year of getting to know each other, Werner eventually got his date and things progressed from there. By the time he was drafted, the couple knew they were meant to be together. Werner proposed on New Year’s
Since their move two years ago, the Schumanns are enjoying an active and carefree retirement lifestyle.

The Schumanns, who visited lots of retirement communities before making a final decision, liked the fact that Ingleside offers everything under one roof.
Eve, and the couple married in February. Following his graduation from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in Motion Pictures, Werner was offered a job at a film studio in Washington, D.C. From there, he built a career as a freelance filmmaker and went on to make documentary films until his retirement a few years ago. “He won many awards,” Elizabeth added. Through the years, the Schumanns raised two children and now enjoy the company of their four grandchildren. They have lived in the D.C. area for nearly 50 years and most recently were living on a large property in Cabin John, Md., near the Potomac River. While they had never really given any thought to retirement planning, when they received an invitation to visit a new facility in their neighborhood, they decided to take a look. During the next few months, the Schumanns visited several different types of retirement communities, from luxury properties to enormous facilities. But when they toured Ingleside at King Farm, they knew it offered something different. “We realized that Ingleside had really found the right formula by putting everything under one roof,” said Werner. Elizabeth concurred, “Everything is very accessible.”
The Schumanns also liked the fact that Ingleside at King Farm offers a refundable entry fee option. If you decide to leave the community for any reason, the entry fee is refunded, or, alternately, the funds can be used to cover medical expenses or care in the on-campus assisted living or nursing facilities. Ultimately, the Schumann’s final decision to move was made largely due to a casual encounter with a resident. During an appointment to tour an apartment, the couple and the marketing representative passed a resident in the hallway. The staff person greeted the resident by name, and they all started chatting. The resident then offered to let the Schumanns tour her apartment instead of the model, so they could get a better idea of what the units look like fully furnished. “Her demeanor, the way in which she related to us immediately, and the way her husband also welcomed us, that was a turning point. It was really the push we needed,” Werner recalled. It has been two years since the Schumanns made the move to Ingleside at King Farm, and they have never had any regrets. Elizabeth is a member of the community’s Lecture Committee, participates in a bridge group and is co-leading an effort to induce residents to write their biographies. Her co-chair and she have already assembled 50 resident biographies and are enthusiastic about continuing the project. In fact, she feels the most remarkable thing about her new home is her fellow residents. “There is a genuine openness, friendliness and responsiveness among the residents,” she said. “I think the tone for the community is set by the administration and staff, and the facility just seems to attract nice people.” Werner has also become very involved in life at Ingleside. He has screened several of his documentary films for the other residents, including “One Man’s America,” his autobiographical look at his feelings about America. Beyond his enduring interest in all things filmmaking, Werner has also become involved in the community’s building committee and now serves as chairman. Much like the chance they took on each other years ago, the Schumanns are glad they took the leap and made the move to Ingleside at King Farm. While historical events may place artificial wedges between us, the Schumanns certainly prove that some chances are worth taking, and the rest, as they say, is history.

A Prime Location By Christy Brudin
L
ocation, Location, Location. Everyone knows that location is everything. For many seniors, the location they long to be in is exactly where they have been for the last 10, 20 or 30 years: at home. John and Anne Eakin are no exception. “We have lived here, in this residence, since 1978, and we just love the community and are happy to be here,” John said. Of course, as the years have passed the Eakins have needed a little more help to remain at home. After Anne got sick while traveling, John turned to Care Options, a geriatric care management firm offering many services for aging adults and disabled individuals. Those services include a senior care visitor program, a private duty home care agency, a nurse practitioner house call program, relocation services and a specialized activity program for individuals with dementia. From an initial assessment to ongoing care monitoring, Care Options has managed both John and Anne’s changing healthcare needs for almost four years. John, a native Washingtonian, always knew he wanted to remain in the area. After he married Anne, they moved to their family home in McLean, Va., where they raised their three daughters. As a young man, John attended Strayer Junior College but longed to get started in his career. He joined the family business early in his life and took over the company when his father became ill. The company, called Eakin Properties, is a commercial real estate and management firm that was founded by John’s grandfather. John is immensely proud of his family’s business legacy and has only recently passed the torch on to the next generation. “I’m still involved in the business a bit,” he said. “It would run without me, but if they need me, I just want them to know that I am there.” It is the security of knowing that someone is always there for them that has allowed the Eakins to continue living in their family home and enjoying an active lifestyle. Not too long ago, that lifestyle appeared to be in jeopardy following Anne’s health crisis. Anne was making her way back home from the couple’s summer retreat in Camden, Maine, when she suddenly became very ill. She needed acute medical care and had to remain in the hospital in Boston, Mass., for several months. After visiting his wife in Boston, John, who has chronic health issues of his own, knew he would need help managing her condition once she returned home. He called Care Options, and they arranged a home visit to assess the family’s needs. The assessment included an evaluation of legal, financial, medical, spiritual and social needs. This holistic approach led to the creation of a road map to guide care to meet the couple’s needs

that can be updated as necessary. Diana Gilbert, a geriatric care manager with Care Options, explained how the company helped Anne and her family make the transition from the hospital to home. “Anne had so many doctors in Boston, but now she needed duplications of all of them down here,” she said. “I began pulling in resources, coordinating the care that she required and setting up appointments.” Diana also started going to all of Anne’s appointments. “It was important for me to discuss her care with the doctors, so I could understand what was needed to continue with her care and recovery,” she said. John recalled feeling an immense sense of relief when Diana was present. “She’s always there when we need her,” he said. “Things have worked out very well since my wife and Diana got together.” After working with Care Options and her new medical team for several months, Anne’s health status stabilized and she was able to return to Maine for her annual visit the following spring. While Anne was enjoying the summer in Maine, her care management services were placed on hold until she returned. During that time, John had a health scare of his own.
John Eakin is a native Washingtonian who has no plans to move from his McLean, Va., home.

WIth the help of geriatric care manager Diana Gilbert (left), and home care provider Josephine Aikens (right), John Eakin and his wife have been able to remain in their home.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;He called me from a hospital bed in Fairfax,â&#x20AC;? Diana recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a severe diabetic wound on his foot.â&#x20AC;? Care Options and Diana stepped in and helped John navigate his recovery, which included several hospitalizations and a stay in a skilled nursing facility. After about five months, the wound healed. Care Options and Diana have continued to work with John to make sure that he keeps his health conditions under control by managing his medications, attending ( %#4 CF ECTGIKXKPI 2/ 2CIG
medical appointments and coordinating all home services. As the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs increased, Care Options arranged to have a caregiver in the home and a senior care visitor to help with transportation to appointments and other activities. Josephine Aikens has been helping the couple with daily tasks since 2009. Josephine now provides assistance with everything from grocery shopping to medication reminders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just oversees everything; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful help,â&#x20AC;? John said. With the help of Care Options and the professionals they have enlisted, the Eakins remain both happy and safe in their long-time home. They have also been able to continue working, participating in activities, and traveling back and forth to their summer home in Maine. As a seasoned real estate expert, John knows a good location when he sees it, and he spotted his perfect place in McLean more than 30 years ago. Today, both John and Anne are proud to still be able to call that prime location home. Visit www.retirement-living.com for video clips of our interview.

HOW TO
prepare to move
roll up your sleeves, or let a professional help
T
he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of. Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items
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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;DDayâ&#x20AC;? (for decision made) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;M-Dayâ&#x20AC;? (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, 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. Some excerpts from this article used from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions The 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. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney 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. 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? n How long has the attorney been practicing?
What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like 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? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n

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

ences and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2.

HOW TO
protect your assets
elect non-crisis planning for you or your loved one n by Susan Piette
A
re you getting older? Are your parents? Do you and/or they have a plan? Consider Joe and Helen. They met just after he was discharged from the Army. They married, raised two boys and a girl, worked hard their entire lives, retired with a nice nest egg of funds, and looked forward to time with their daughter’s children who lived a few hours away. Their first son lived out of state, had a well-paying job and was married with no children but separated from his wife, whom Helen was never very fond of. Their second son had never quite “launched,” was not married, had a hard time holding a job and was currently on
governmental low-income assistance. Joe managed the family assets and finances. Their home and a small checking account were held in Joe and Helen’s name, but all investment accounts were in his name alone. Joe did fairly well in the stock market, and he was certain that the assets would not only provide for him and Helen but also provide a nice inheritance for their children and especially their beloved grandchildren. Helen’s memory had been on the decline for some time, but the children didn’t realize how bad it was until Joe slipped while shoveling snow, broke his hip and had to stay in a rehabilitation facility. Helen could not be left alone and was not going to be able to care for Joe when he came home. Helen went to stay
with her daughter, who temporarily reduced her full time employment to part time so that she and Helen could visit Joe 3-4 times a week. The daughter had to hire home healthcare aides to be with Helen when she had to be at work. Joe was recovering well but suddenly developed a blood clot and died. Neither Joe nor Helen had executed a will, a power of attorney or an advance healthcare directive. None of the children ever wanted to talk about the “what ifs” and now the family was in crisis. They had failed to plan. 1. Fact/Question: Joe and Helen’s house and bank account are titled jointly but the assets in the investment accounts were held in Joe’s name alone. Continued on page 52

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

protect your assets ... Continued from page 51
With no Will in place providing direction on who should receive these assets, how will they be distributed? Answer: When a loved one dies without leaving a will, he or she is said to have died intestate. When this happens, any assets held in the decedent’s name alone will be distributed according to the intestate laws of the state where the decedent lived. Warning: such distribution may or may not accord with that person’s wishes. Unintended results: • Helen will only inherit a portion of the investment assets (under Pennsylvania law: $30,000 plus 1⁄2 of the balance of the funds) and the children will receive equal shares of the remainder of funds. • Should the son who is separated get divorced, the daughter-in-law, who Helen doesn’t care for, could receive a portion of Joe’s estate in the divorce settlement. • If the son on governmental assistance accepts the inheritance money, he will most likely be disqualified from his governmental assistance and have to reapply after the inheritance money is used up; or he may need to utilize a portion of
those funds to establish a type of trust for the funds, so that he may continue to receive the governmental assistance and have the inheritance funds supplement, not replace, his governmental assistance. 2. Fact/Question: Helen no longer has the capacity to execute an advance healthcare directive. What is an advance healthcare directive and why is it so important to have one in place? Answer: An advance healthcare directive is an instruction given by you concerning the medical treatment or care that you would want - or would not want - should circumstances arise where you are no longer capable or competent to give such an instruction. Advance healthcare directives are the best way to ensure that your express wishes for health care are known and honored. Unintended result: Helen’s wishes for her medical treatment and end of life decisions may not be followed. 3. Fact/Question: The daughter provided caregiver services and expended personal funds for the benefit of Helen without documenting the arrangement. Can she be reimbursed? Answer: Yes, but if the daughter ac-

cepts payment(s) for services and expenditures without a properly documented caregiver agreement and Medicaid is needed as a source of funding for skilled nursing care for Helen, such payment(s) may be determined to be an inappropriate transfer of funds and cause an ineligibility period for Medicaid benefits, resulting in the family having to pay for skilled nursing services that Medicaid would have otherwise covered. Joe and Helen failed to put in place a “Senior Plan.” What’s your Senior Plan? We all want peace of mind about our welfare and our assets. You are the only one who can make important decisions about how you would like to live. Those decisions MUST be documented. In this case, information is power!

HOW TO
get help managing money
stop watching those statements and bills pile up
O
lder adults frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical bills are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers (DMMs) can help manage these concerns by monitoring their client’s accounts and outstanding bills, while also protecting against identity theft. What is Daily Money Management? Daily Money Management is a service that addresses an issue facing many senior citizens: handling paperwork that seems to expand endlessly. Daily Money Managers provide personal financial assistance, usually in the client’s home, while simultaneously safeguarding the valuable identity they’ve worked a lifetime to establish. What services does a Daily Money Manager offer?
They offer an array of services, which include balancing checkbooks, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. This kind of record keeping provides peace of mind for the client and, in some cases, for their family. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health is identity protection. Several firms offer identity theft protection, fraud protection and other security-related services for seniors. “Seniors have a lot to lose, and often don’t have the background or tools to recognize or spot fraudulent activity quickly enough,” said David Poulos, Chief Marketing Officer of Senior Guardian Services based in Baltimore. “We can give seniors peace of mind by paying their routine invoices for them, reviewing bank statements, reviewing marketing offers and other incoming mail, and protecting them from being exploited.”
PERSONAL PAPERWORK SERVICES FOR ELDERLY PERSONS SINCE 1985.
Additionally, DMMs can help with income tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions that often mean the client will pay lower taxes each year. How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend or colleague are a good place to start. If necessary, contact your local Area Agency on Aging for suggestions. The American Association of Daily Money Managers’ website (www.aadmm.com) can also provide valuable information that will help you find a reliable DMM. Once you have found a DMM you are interested in hiring, it is a good idea to ask about their experience and qualifications. It is especially important to know whether your DMM is bonded and insured. You also want to determine how the DMM you plan to hire bills for their work. Hourly fees vary by locale, but in this area, the average range is $40.00 to $80.00 per hour.

HOW TO
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it With the complex maze of resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved one are primary candidates for a geriatric care manager. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropri-
ate without causing undo stress. Instead of waiting for a crisis situation, you may want to turn to a GCM earlier, so that there are more options available. What Can a GCM Do for Me? COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. Utilizing their professional backgrounds and experience, care managers are able to perform an unbiased evaluation of the client’s mental, physical, social, financial and legal functioning. RECOMMENDATIONS. After determining what services would be helpful for the well-being of the individual, the GCM can recommend providers who will best meet the family’s needs. Familiar with industry standards, they routinely make recommendations for all levels of care. COUNSELING. The counseling that
Helping Seniors for Over 35 Years
GCMs can provide helps clients and their families handle the emotional stress involved with these decisions. They provide the family with information about the illness or challenge that the client faces and the available resources. MEDIATION. GCMs can also negotiate family dynamics, helping to sort out all of the various concerns that have resulted from the challenge of caring for a loved one. FOLLOW-UP VISITS. GCMs are generally involved in the implementation of the care plan. This typically includes follow-up visits to the individual’s home or facility a couple of times a week shortly after implementation and quarterly thereafter. Some clients are visited once a week for the duration of their services. Visit caremanager.org for more information.

HOW TO
consider a gcm and costs
finding the right care manager and discussing fees When considering a GCM, take into account their professional standing, as well as their personality and how comfortable they make their clients. Although there is no official licensure process for care managers, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM) has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as GCM referrals can be obtained at www.caremanager.org. How Much Will It Cost? According to the NAPGCM website, there are many different ways of charging fees and each GCM works differently. You will need to know how often s/he bills. Some GCMs bill weekly, some bill monthly, some bill upon completion of
work. Ask about these matters at the initial conference and ask for them in writing, so there will be no surprises. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand, ask again. If you need clarification, say so. It is very important that you feel comfortable regarding your financial obligations. In addition to fees, most GCMs will charge for out-of-pocket expenses, which may include charges for mileage, care giving supplies, long-distance telephone calls, etc. Find out if there will be any other incidental costs. There may also be additional fees if outside professionals are called into the case. It is imperative that the GCM receives approval to bring others in before the situation arises, if at all possible. As mentioned on the NAPGCM website,
*OEJWJEVBMJ[FE 4FSWJDFT GPS UIF &MEFSMZ BOE %JTBCMFE
make sure you have all questions answered before proceeding with an agreement for services. You should receive a written agreement including fees before the commencement of services. Since fees for a GCM range, check with your Medicare office to see if you are eligible for subsidies. The average time required by a client is four hours. After spending a couple of hours completing a comprehensive evaluation of the client, the GCM then spends a few more hours researching and discussing options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan.

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 likeminded people, share similar scenarios, confide in each other and build
healthy camaraderie. Furthermore, important resources can be shared and solutions from experienced members will abound. Seeking Advocates When it comes to a breakdown in communication between residents and communities, ombudsman are available to advocate on behalf of the residents’ rights. This national program is a great solution as the ombudsman will investigate any com-

plaints 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 eldercare challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.

CONFIDENTIALITY I will hold in trust any confidence you give me, disclosing information to others only with your permission, or if I am compelled to do so by a belief that you will be seriously harmed by my silence, or if the laws of this State require me to do so.
SELF-DETERMINATION I will base my plan of service on goals you, or a person designated to act for you, have defined, and which enhance the decisions you have made concerning your life.
REFERRALS/DISCLOSURE I will refer you only to services and organizations I believe to be appropriate and of good quality. I will fully explain to you any business relationship I have with any service I propose, and give you information on alternatives, if at all possible, so that you, or a person designated to act for you, can make an informed decision to accept or reject the services I recommend to you.
LOYALTY My first duty is loyalty to you. I will always provide services based on your best interest, even if this conflicts with my interests or the interests of others. TERMINATION OF SERVICE I will end service to you only after reasonable notice. I will recommend a plan for you to continue to receive the services as needed. SUBSTITUTE JUDGMENT I will not substitute my judgment for yours unless I am acting in the role of your guardian, appointed by a Court of Law, or with your approval, or the approval of someone designated to act for you.
COOPERATION I will strive to ensure cooperation between all of the individuals involved in providing service and care to you. QUALIFICATIONS I am fully qualified in my profession to provide the services I undertake. I continue to improve my skills and knowledge by participating in professional development programs and maintaining certification and licensing in my profession.

ness and conscientious care of geriatric patients. Proper patient care requires a thorough evaluation of the patient and diligent coordination of services with the home health agency. Legitimate medical groups have a reputation for making decisions based on the best interests of the patient. Call your local home health agency or speak with a home care nurse and ask: “What is this physician's reputation for the quality of care?” According to Dappen, there are sources on the web that provide evaluations and written commentaries. “Paidfor websites have a little more methodology behind obtaining that data,” he says. “The Virginia Board of Medicine website allows all consumers to see any physicians who have a claim against them or any type of disciplinary action.” Dappen also recommends asking nurses and surgeons who often work around potential physicians. “What is always a good question is ‘If it was your loved one, who would you pick?’” he says.
Taking note of the physician-owner presence is also key when recognizing high-standard medical groups. The physician registered as owning the group should be present every day or have hired a medical director to be present in his/her place. The medical group should have membership in the AAHCP. Not only must the house call physician be a current member, but he/she should follow the AAHCP's "Principles of Medical Ethics." About the AAHCP Community standards are rising as increasing numbers of high-quality physicians are offering house calls. The AAHCP has published home care ethical guidelines and developed standards for credentialing physician home care medical practices. With the academy’s volunteers consistently working to enhance practice education, they have provided this community with different useful publications. Its members
now include home care physicians and individuals who can either act as home health agency medical directors or offer referrals to such agencies. Their specialties include internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics and geriatrics, among others. The AAHCP office can be reached at 410-676-7966. The AAHCP provides a list of its members and medical groups providing home care physician services as a public service. The listing is intended for informational purposes only. The AAHCP does not check the compliance of its members with licensing, billing or other regulatory requirements. It cannot attest to the qualifications and billing practices of individual physicians. Therefore, users should obtain information about licensure, qualifications and billing from the physicians and groups themselves.

along for the ride transportation providers make sure you’ll get there Transportation or personal concierge services can give older adults a lift while raising their spirits as well. Not only do they provide a ride to and from important errands and engagements, but they can impart valuable companionship upon people who so often feel isolated from the world. Getting from here to there Sometimes, all older adults will require is a ride from Point A to Point B. With the transportation services available throughout the Washington, D.C. Metro area, you can be certain that your parent or loved one
will receive a safe and reliable ride. These services can be less costly than a series of cab rides from place to place, and you’ll know that someone will be personally accountable for the safety and happiness of your special rider. It may be time to consider a transportation provider if your parent or loved one has experienced memory loss, an inability to perform routine tasks, impaired judgment, slowed reaction time or a diminished attention span. Some older adults may even find that they like riding with a companion much better than being
behind the wheel alone. This buddy approach will ensure that all the errands for the day get finished, and appointments are kept with punctuality. Some providers will often leave a full report of the day’s activities, pointing out any important developments or snags along the way for future reference.

technology for seniors new devices designed with older adults in mind From Internet calling services to instant messaging, keeping in touch with family and friends has never been easier. However, for some active adults and seniors using new technologies can be challenging. Most of these devices are developed with a younger audience in mind and can sometimes be confusing or unnecessarily complex. Fortunately, there are senior serving professionals who are working to make these modern conveniences more accessible. Once these devices are made user friendly, seniors quickly find that they love the freedom technology can provide. Technology allows seniors to keep in contact with family at their convenience. They can also receive frequent updates from children, grandchildren, friends and other family members. They can
enjoy new photos in real time, and they can even have face-to-face conversations with their loved ones who live far away via Internet chat. For adult children or other family members of seniors, technology can offer added security. Enhanced communication with their loved one provides reassurance that they are safe and secure. Some devices even allow for family members to unobtrusively monitor their loved one’s activity and receive alerts if there is a change in the normal pattern. Service providers have been offering phones and monitoring devices specially designed for seniors for years. However, the newer computer and tablet devices combine the convenience and security that phones and monitoring systems provide with the added features of a home computer. All of these features are
offered in one user-friendly device. One of the providers on the forefront of this emerging trend is FamilyLink, a company that offers a touch screen tablet device designed for older users. Features include email, video chat, home monitoring capability and photo sharing. All of the features are designed to activate with the touch of a single button, so no computer experience is necessary. As more providers begin to cater to the unique needs of seniors and their loved ones, older adults no longer have to worry about learning new technologies or losing touch with friends and family. Using these technologies can actually help seniors remain in their homes longer, as they no longer have to be concerned about safety or social isolation. Technology is definitely not just for teens anymore.
Know They are Safe with FamilyLink Activity Monitoring
FamilyLink is an activity monitoring system for older adults. It provides caregivers with well-being activity updates and text/email alerts in case of potential problems. FamilyLink also provides one-touch features such as video chat and email that allow older adults to be more closely connected to caregivers and loved ones in an easy way. Learn more at www.familylink.net or call us at 888.411.4909 (no professional installation required, easy 5 minute setup!)

prevent falls
accidents can be serious for seniors
A
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.
face. The statistics on falls and the injuries they cause are alarming. For instance: â&#x20AC;˘ In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries according to the CDC. â&#x20AC;˘ The Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition (NVFPC) reports that in 2009, 421 Virginians over the age of 65 died as a result of a fall and more than 16,000 hospitalizations were directly attributed to a fall. â&#x20AC;˘ The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade (CDC). â&#x20AC;˘ In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;$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.
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 updatUnderstanding the Risks ed as needed to maintain the best posOn both a national and a local level, Avoiding Falls sible vision. the risk of falls is one of the largest, preOne of the simplest ways that older Finally, one of the most important ventable medical challenges that seniors adults can reduce their risk of falling is Continued on page 72

universal design and the aging eye n
By Moira Quinn Leite and Michael Leite, PE
T
hroughout life, the human eye changes. This requires corresponding changes to the illumination level that is required for good visibility. The first change that takes place in the normal eye is a shift in color vision. As the eye ages, it becomes less sensitive to the blue end of the spectrum. The second change is a reduction of the depth of focus for the eye. This is caused by the hardening of the lens, which gives the eye a fixed focus. The third type of change is caused by eye disease. Common maladies include cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. Universal design is described as designing all products and occupied spaces to be built to be usable by everyone, regardless of their age or physical ability. While this is a desirable goal, energy use and installation costs can constrain designs. The key to good design is balancing the needs of the specific individual with the constraints of the existing space. As a general rule, more illumination is better for the older eye. However, because it is more sensitive to glare, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;veiling luminance,â&#x20AC;? the light distribution is critical. When raising light levels, we must also be careful to consider the
Aging in Place Beautiful Accessibility sm Relocation and Staging Lighting and the Aging Eye
surrounding or background illumination; a high illuminance on the task surface coupled with a dark surround is a recipe for eye strain. The color of the light can also affect visibility. Some people find warm lamps with a color temperature of 2,700-3,000ÂşK to be very comfortable, while others prefer cooler (bluer) lamps with a 6,000-7,500ÂşK color temperature. The selection of a lamp must be made based on the comfort and visual needs of the client. A third concern is color rendering, or how well colors can be distinguished under a light source. Here again, the spectral composition of the light must be matched to the needs of the individual. The best lamp for color vision may not be the best for reading. As a rule, the general illumination should be optimized for good color vision, and the task lighting should be optimized for visual task performance. To achieve flexibility of design, controls are essential. The most common are switches and dimmers. They may be manual, or they may be controlled remotely from hand-held devices. Controls permit the resident to adjust the illumination for the full range of tasks to be performed in the space. A final consideration is energy use. As we increase the general and task illumi-
30
nation, there is a tendency to consume more electricity. The selection of newer, high efficiency light sources offers the opportunity to gain increased light levels without using additional energy. As we examine the visual environment, we also must eliminate hazards. These may include rugs and carpets, which can cause trip hazards when transitions are not properly illuminated. For changes in floor surface, edges of tables and counters, and transitions between spaces, illumination can point out the location of the edge or warn of the impending transition. The creation of a functional, pleasant visual environment does not have to be expensive. Proper lighting techniques can result in the creative utilization of common components with low installation costs. Good lighting should not be noticeable to the resident unless the lighting itself has a decorative purpose; rather, it should bring the space to life and create a pleasant visual experience, warn of potential obstacles or tripping hazards, and promote safety for household tasks.

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 improvement 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. Locally, the NVFPC is leading the effort to prevent falls. NVFPC conducts free fall prevention seminars at venues across Northern Virginia and distributes thousands of pieces of fall prevention literature to the public and medical community every year. The primary focus of the organization is to promote community partnerships to reduce falls among the older adult population. NVFPC has already developed and implemented a

technology to the rescue

keep in contact with family and emergency services
personal response system (PRS), sometimes called a PERS (personal emergency response system) answers the need of many older Americans for both security and independence. Many organizations, including the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), encourage their use, but for the consumer choosing from among the many brands on the market, buying a PRS can be somewhat confusing. What is a PRS? A PRS is a relatively simple tool to help keep the user in contact with friends, family, and, if needed, emergency services. Each system has three elements: a portable radio transmitter (help button), a console connected to the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telephone, and a response center to monitor the calls. In case of an emergency (a fall, chest pains, suspected intruder, etc.), the user simply calls for help by pressing the button on the radio transmitter. The console picks up the signal (much like an automatic garage door opener) and automatically phones the response center (even if the phone is off the hook). The call is routed to the response center where the caller is identified through special coding. The monitoring centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first response is to talk with the user and verify that an emergency exists. This can be done through two-
way voice communication or by calling the user back on the phone. Next, monitors will call responders or emergency services to answer the call for help (even if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the user by phone). The features offered by many PRS providers are expanding at an astounding rate. Some systems now offer services such as companionship â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the user just pushes the transmitter button and can talk with the response center for any reason. Other systems offer a speaker phone feature with their PRS that allows the user to answer the phone from wherever they are in the house, preventing accidents and aiding those with disabilities. Staff at the response centers often receive extensive training in such fields as gerontology and stress management, so they can better serve their clients. As with any other purchase, seniors should seriously consider their specific needs and budget constraints before deciding on any one system. It is a good idea to get written quotes from several companies before making a final decision. For more information about specific PRS vendors, check with the office of the state Attorney General, local consumer affairs office, or the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has had any complaints filed against them. Your local hospital may also be a good resource to look into; many hospitals offer PRS rentals, which are affordable and reliable.
For additional general information about personal response systems, consumers should consult the Federal Trade Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personal Emergency Response Systems.â&#x20AC;? The report is free. Consumers can have a copy mailed to them or can review the information online. To request a copy of the publication, call 1-877-382-4357. The report is also available on the FTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Visit www. ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/services/pers.htm to view a complete copy of the report.

HOW TO
find resources for military
D.C. region offers resources to military & federal retirees who have served our country
M
ilitary personnel and federal employees are essential to the function and success of the federal government. As our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is home to a large number of federal employees, military personnel and their families. From retirement communities for military officers and their spouses to associations that represent the needs of federal employees, there are resources available in this area to help those who have served our country. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), there are 25 million veterans currently alive, and three of every four of those veterans completed their service during a period of war or hostility. Their website notes that “approximately 70 million people are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members, or survivors of veterans.” Countless organizations, associations and communities serve the large concentration of these veterans and their family members who live in the D.C. metro area.
From independent living to nursing care, there are communities in the D.C. area available to serve the needs of military retirees. Many of these communities cater specifically to retired officers and their spouses. Communities are often located near military hospitals or medical centers, and transportation is often provided. These communities provide a vital service to retired military personnel, and combine lifestyle amenities with readily available services. In addition to the resources listed on the next page, veterans should be aware of the benefits available through the VA Disability Pension, including a special benefit for Aid and Attendance. The Aid and Attendance benefit is for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular assistance of another person with activities of daily living, including eating, bathing, dressing and toileting. Nursing home patients, assisted living residents and individuals who are blind are also covered under this benefit. War veterans with 90 days of active duty and/or their surviving spouses are eligible for this benefit. Beneficiaries must also meet certain medical and financial requirements. To qualify, appli-
cants must file appropriate paperwork, receive a medical examination by a physician, meet net worth and net income limitations, and submit information detailing out-of-pocket medical expense costs. Those deemed eligible can use the Aid and Attendance benefit to pay for care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living community. Veterans and their spouses will receive set monthly payments. To apply for any of the VA’s wide range of benefits, call 1-800-827-1000 or visit their website at www.va.gov. Other benefits for veterans and their family members include: Education, Home Loan Guaranty, Disability Compensation, Disability Pension, Dependency Indemnity Compensation, Death Pension, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), Medical Care, Burial, and Life Insurance. Both military and government retirees should investigate all of the benefits, services and options that are available to them. The list on page 76 includes contact information for many of these resources.

active adult communities keep residents moving
Active Adult Communities
adult communities are full of options and most of the costs are included in the living fees. Homes are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards, so residents can enjoy the tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking paths and fitness centers that are generally available within these communities. When researching this option, start by requesting information packets from prospective communities. Once you have narrowed down your options, schedule visits to each. While you are there, take
Featured on Page
Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. Ideal for retirees, but not limited to those who have stopped working, active

When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

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

HOW TO
know what to ask
the top five questions for residency counselors
n
by Brenda Becker
Y
our family has been encouraging you to consider moving to a retirement community; your neighbors recently moved; and now, you’ve received an invitation in the mail from that beautiful community you’ve always wondered about. Making the decision to finally visit a retirement community can often be a big decision in and of itself. Determining which community will be a good fit to live in takes planning, preparation and an open mind. If you’ve ever visited a college campus with a prospective student, you know it’s easy to be impressed by the admission department’s presentations. Glossy brochures, enthusiastic student tour guides, and professionally created videos all highlight what the university has to offer. Serious students study the course offerings, degree programs, faculty experience, post-graduation employment rates, etc. based on their own personal interests. Prospective residents of a retirement community should also draft their own list of criteria. Equally important, is creating a list of questions that will enable the visitor to fully understand the community’s offerings. While most look similar on the surface, there are important differences between senior living options. In this article, we’ll focus on continuing care retirement communities, or CCRCs, because they have the most to offer and also have the most detailed contracts. CCRCs provide all levels of care on the same campus (and by the way, the use of the term ‘campus’ is not the only similarity between colleges and CCRCs). Here you’ll find independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care and usually memory care. When health care is needed, it is convenient and less stressful to move to another location within the same community than to move across town to
Because health care can be such a large variable in the cost of living at a CCRC, you’ll want to understand exactly what is, and is not, included in the Residence and Care Agreement.
an unfamiliar facility. In addition to healthcare, CCRCs offer dining services, fitness facilities, educational programs, housekeeping and maintenance services, and unlimited opportunities to engage in social activities. During a tour of the community you will see and hear about many of these wonderful amenities. Depending on your level of interest in the community, you will want to request time to sit down with the residency counselor to explore all facets of what the community has to offer. Because health care can be such a large variable in the cost of living at a CCRC, you’ll want to understand exactly what is, and is not, included in the Residence and Care Agreement. Among the most important questions you will want to ask are: 1. What health care costs are covered by the Residence and Care agreement and what must be paid out-of-pocket? CCRC Residence and Care agreements are regulated by the state of Maryland; however, the details vary by community. a. How long can I concurrently occupy space in independent living and skilled nursing before paying an extra fee? b. How will my monthly fee change if I need assisted living or skilled nursing care? 2. Is the entrance fee refundable and
under what terms? a. How much will be refunded? b. When will it be refunded? 3. What has the monthly fee increase been over the past 5 years? How has the community assisted residents who’ve had difficulty paying higher fees? 4. What was the suggested tax deduction allowance for medical care last year? 5. How is the community managed? a. What is the experience and tenure of the top executives? b. Are residents involved in decision making? There are, of course, many more questions to ask and things to understand before making such a significant decision, but this is at least a start. Ask every community you visit the same questions. Compare all the answers, and then determine which community best fits your needs and interests. Just as important, however, is to let yourself feel which community is the right fit. Considering everything together will increase your satisfaction with the community you ultimately choose. Brenda Becker is the owner and founder of Top-Drawer Resources, a research and consulting practice that connects families with high quality senior services providers.

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

he voice on the CD is a rich and powerful baritone. It is the sound of a young man in the prime of his vocal career. This impression is deceptive, however, because the vocalist is Paul Forbes, a resident of Riderwood retirement community in Silver Spring, Maryland. Incredibly, he found his voice – literally – after he retired as a business executive. For the past dozen years, Forbes has been a sought-after soloist, performing a wide repertoire of classical, Broadway and popular songs in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. He also writes, produces, directs and performs for the local stage. Although many singers continue their career into their later years, time takes a toll on the quality of their voices. Not so with Forbes, 83, whose voice seems to acquire more depth and strength as he ages. Richard Hartzell, a voice coach who has worked with Forbes, said, “His repertoire consists of Broadway, classical and popular songs, and
Baritone Paul Forbes found his voice – literally – after he retired.
his mastery of all the genres is complete and remarkable for a singer of any age.” Forbes’ story is all the more remarkable because he didn’t discover that he could sing until he was 68 years old. Before retiring as president of a firm that specializes in counseling CEOs and boards of directors, he traveled widely, speaking to audiences across
the U.S. and abroad. He found that he could no longer project his voice without a microphone, so he consulted an otolaryngologist (a doctor specializing in throat problems). The doctor told him his vocal cords were weakened by age and advised him to strengthen them by singing. He referred him to a noted operatic baritone, Jerome Barry, who was also a voice coach. After Barry listened to Forbes sing, he said, “Did you know that you have a beautiful baritone voice?” “No,” replied Forbes. “All my singing has been in the shower.” Today, Forbes’ favorite performance venues are at senior centers, retirement communities and nursing homes, where he sings pro bono. “I often see patients wheeled in who have been unresponsive to outside stimuli for months or years,” Forbes said. “Then I begin to sing and some of them will start tapping the tune and others will actually sing along. It’s very rewarding to me to be able to give these unfortunate people some pleasure.”

boomers are retiring Despite the popular belief that Baby Boomers will continue to work well past the traditional retirement age of 65, those born in 1946 are retiring in droves, according to Transitioning into Retirement: The MetLife Study of Baby Boomers at 65. This study is a follow–up to the 2008 MetLife Mature Market Institute study, Boomer Bookends: Insights into the Oldest and Youngest Boomers (released in 2009), which looked at the same segment of Boomers at age 62 and includes 450 of the same interview subjects from the original study. The study reports that 59 percent of the first Boomers to turn 65 are at least partially retired – 45 percent are completely retired and 14 percent are retired, but working part-time. Of those still working, 37 percent say they’ll retire in the next year, and on average, plan to do so by the

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

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

HOW TO
live independently
I n depe n de n t L i v i ng
communities offer security with no home maintenance
T
he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help.
What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a
community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed. Paying for Independent Living Communities Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents can purchase
their own units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few independent living communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. However, it is important to note that there is almost always a waiting list for subsidized units, so start your planning earlier if you need this assistance. To learn more about what is available, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. What to Look For Research your options and request information from those communities to which you have narrowed your focus. Discussing services and amenities in detail with staff can help ensure you find the home that is right for you. A major question for those who are considering an independent living community is how to meet their future health care needs. It is important to have a specific plan covering various levels of care, especially if you are only interested in making one move during this time. You also may want to question whether to select a fee-for-service arrangement or an all-inclusive fee.

what is senior center plus? Senior Center Plus is a program of structured group activities and enhanced socialization, which is designed to have a positive impact on physically frail or cognitively impaired individuals. The services available at a Senior Center Plus site include recreational activities and socialization in accordance with the care plan developed for each participant. Appropriate meals and snacks are served to participants in a dining area accessible to persons with disabilities. The level of personal support is less intensive than medical adult day care, yet
the eight participant to one staff ratio is greater than the staffing ratio of community senior centers. The daily fee schedule is determined by the Senior Center Plus provider based on the facility’s operating budget. A sliding fee scale is used and a limited number of scholarships are available. Respite fees are paid by family, participants, caregivers, Veterans’ Group Home operators, and assisted living providers. This service is eligible for Medicaid reimbursement via the Maryland Medicaid Waiver.
There are currently 43 Senior Center PLUS sites in Maryland. For more information, contact 1-800-AGE-DIAL.

HOW TO
understand rental options
what is available and how to qualify According to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level qualifies, a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24-hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing or low-income housing that is owned and operated by
a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for
each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privately-owned communities near you. Source: http://www.aahsa.org/article. aspx?id=3780

baby boomers on the move Despite popular belief, a recent analysis of government data by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reveals that the geographic distribution of households headed by someone age 55 or older is fairly even across most of the country, with more than 30 percent of all households in every state meeting this description. The study sheds valuable light on a key statistic for housing demand among active adults, as NAHB’s long-term forecast indicates that the share of 55+ households will grow every year through 2019, when the 55+ category will account for nearly 45 percent of all U.S. households. “As more baby boomers approach retirement and the average age of the U.S. population increases, many businesses-including home builders--are showing increased interest in designing products that appeal to customers 55 and older,” said Paul Emrath, NAHB’s vice president of

Top Tips for the Transition Making the Most of the Move to a Retirement Community • by Cathy Ritter A whirlwind schedule packed with activities, such as traveling to nearby historical attractions or a professional sporting event. Working out in a fully-equipped health center or participating in a video game tournament. Some days, not getting to bed until well after midnight. This isn’t college – it’s today’s retirement community. Despite this new paradigm in retirement living, the decision to move into a retirement community is still one of the biggest challenges older Americans face, often with a great deal of reluctance. Obviously, it can be difficult to let go of a home where they have raised families and accumulated a lifetime’s worth of possessions, and equally difficult to face the fact that they may someday need assistance with the daily tasks of living. Unless the decision is essentially made by circumstance, such as a health crisis or the death of a spouse, some still tend to believe that retirement communities are for “other people.” But that’s changing. Many — in particular Boomers — now cite a desire to plan ahead, or simply the need to downsize and escape the maintenance associated with a house or yard. Once that decision is made, selecting the right community can be equally challenging. “The idea of searching for and selecting the right community may deter people who could otherwise benefit from one,” says Cathy Ritter, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Asbury Communities, Inc., a not-for-profit organization that manages a system of communities across the U.S. “But today’s communities are a far cry from the stereotypical ‘rest home,’ and the majority of residents are not holed up in their apartments watching ‘Matlock’ reruns. They offer a vibrant lifestyle; encourage social interactions; and have a real, positive energy. There’s a sense of belonging, and of being among family.” There are many factors that can help alleviate some of the stress of moving. Ritter offers some tips that will assist in providing a seamless transition to a new community. 1. Total immersion: After conducting thorough initial research into prospective communities, go experience them —and taking a campus tour should be just the beginning, according to Ritter. “Going for a meal or two, sitting down with residents and staff members, or participating in an activity will give you a realistic idea of day-to-day life. Many communities now offer truly multidimensional wellness programs that go beyond a pool or walking path. You’ll find opportunities to get involved at all levels.” 2. Keep family in the loop: When moving through the selection process, keep close family members involved. They can provide a strong support system, and it will show both the family and the staff that their input is valued. 3. Hire a pro: Hiring professionals to help with the move from the family house to the new space can be extremely beneficial. “Most likely, you won’t be able to take all of your possessions along,” says Ritter, “but there is a growing industry of individuals and companies who specialize in relocating to retirement communities. A professional can help you decide what to keep, leave behind, give away or sell.” 4. C reate a space: As you settle into your new space at the community, it may help to arrange furniture and decorations in a manner that is similar to how things were set up at home. This will help remove some of the discomfort that comes with being in a new place. 5. Get to know the staff: These are the people who live with and care for the residents on a daily basis, so an honest and open relationship is extremely beneficial. The more they know about you from the beginning, the better they will be able to take care of your needs. Transitioning from home to a community is a major life change, but keeping these tips in mind can help reduce the stress of a move and ensure that adults can enjoy this exciting new time in their lives to the fullest. They’ll wish they had moved ten years ago. For the full version of this article, visit retirement-living.com.

Understanding Independent Living in D.C. Independent Living Communities are defined in the IONA Senior Services Resource Guide as “communities that provide housing and services for active and independent seniors. Services typically offered include congregate meals, on-site recreational activities, and security services.” IONA Senior Services is one
of eight “Lead Agency Providers” in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Office on Aging funds comprehensive service-delivery organizations and designates them as “Lead Agencies.” These agencies plan and deliver direct services to the District’s elderly residents and their caregivers. Each ward has one or more Lead Agencies that
provide services to seniors in the ward. Information on Independent Living Communities and other elder service options can be obtained from these agencies. Visit www. dcoa.dc.gov or call (202) 724-5622 to connect with the lead agency serving your neighborhood.

Understanding Independent Living in Maryland In Maryland, senior apartments are generally for people age 62 and over, but some will accept younger disabled people. Spouses under age 62 may be allowed. There are usually no supportive services available. Some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program.” Congregate Meals
Congregate meals are offered in more than 250 meal sites including senior centers, religious facilities, housing facilities or other community sites throughout Maryland. Many meal program locations are within stateof-the-art facilities and offer a variety of engaging activities such as health promotion and exercise centers. Meal sites offer an opportunity to meet new friends and participate in other social or health-related programs including nutrition education, physical activity and health screening. In 2009, seniors received nearly 1.5 million meals in congregate settings throughout Maryland. Most senior congregate nutrition sites of-
fer a hot lunch; however, some congregate settings offer deli lunches, salad bars, soups and sandwiches or evening meals. Breakfast programs are offered in several locations. A variety of culturally-appropriate meals are offered in select locations including kosher, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean. Congregate Housing Services Program
The mission of the Congregate Housing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies to eligible residents of low and moderate income senior housing who, due to advanced age or chronic health conditions, need daily help with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping and personal services. The Maryland Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations such as local housing authorities, nonprofit organizations or housing management companies to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program for eligible residents of designated buildings. Eligible residents are those who are at Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
least 62 years of age and in need of assistance with one or more activities of daily living. The program provides meals, weekly housekeeping of each participant’s apartment, and limited personal assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing and laundry. The cost of the Congregate Housing Services Program varies by site. Individual program participants contribute to the cost based on a sliding scale. State subsidies are available for eligible residents of participating sites who require financial assistance. To qualify for a subsidy, an individual’s income may not exceed 60 percent of the State median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple. Currently, there are more than 574 units of Congregate Housing Services located in more than 25 senior citizen apartment buildings statewide. To view a list of congregate housing sites in Maryland or to receive additional information on local housing programs, contact your local Senior Information and Assistance Program. ■

Understanding Independent Living in Virginia Independent Living Communities can be referred to in a variety of ways depending on the location and the services provided at the community. Senior apartments, senior living communities and retirement homes are among the frequently used names for this housing option. The Virginia Department for the Aging (VDA) sometimes refers to these communities as â&#x20AC;&#x153;congre-
gate housing facilities.â&#x20AC;? They define congregate housing facilities as generally providing private living quarters, meals in a central dining room, shared living spaces and access to social and recreational facilities. The VDA states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For people who do not require nursing home care, congregate housing is a very popular and economic alternative to institutional care. It is most suitable
for the more frail members of the elderly population - those who find it difficult to manage home maintenance, shopping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.â&#x20AC;? Rent subsidies under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (HUD) Section 8 Rental Assistance Program may be available to assist with the cost of rent in congregate housing facilities.

Assisted Living
HOW TO
choose assisted living
Assisted Living communities offer housing and a variety of supportive services delivered by qualified staff members. As opposed to independent living communities, health care services are available at assisted living communities. The Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) notes that assisted living is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a unique transition from independent living without careâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;helps seniors enjoy an improved quality of life with independence and care combined.â&#x20AC;? Community amenities vary widely but can include private units, state-of-the-art facilities, beautifully decorated common areas, barber shops and beauty parlors, pharmacies, physical therapy services, recreation rooms, libraries, gardening areas, and fitness centers. Consumers will quickly find that assisted living communities, also commonly called residential care facilities or personal

Assisted Living
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 pro-
vide 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.

that parents should support children through their college years, help with tuition (90%) and step in to provide financial assistance during an emergency – not of the child’s doing. But, they stop short at paying all college tuition costs if they’re particularly high. There is also a consensus against bailing adult children out of debt when the debt is from overspending.” Timmermann continued, “How do individuals determine when to help others and when to allow them to be independent? We found that people must examine their own financial status and make decisions about how to assist their family members based on their ability to do so, the real needs of their parents and children and a look down the road at how each party will be able to deal with change and unexpected pitfalls.” Among the tips listed in the publica-

HOW TO
obtain affordable services
states, advocates and communities need to join together n by Robert Jenkens States are increasingly including affordable assisted living services in their Medicaid strategies to provide non-institutional options to eligible individuals and reduce state long-term care expenditures. More than forty states provide funding for residential care or assisted living settings through their Medicaid or other programs. While these programs are often limited in size with substantial waiting lists, they are an ideal option for low-income individuals. Finding high quality assisted living settings that meet the Center for Excellence in Assisted Livingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definition and are willing to accept Medicaid payment levels is difficult. The number of quality providers willing to accept Medicaid has been bolstered by high vacancy rates and the expansion of Medicaid programs. Unfortunately for Medicaid eligible
residents, the private pay market is picking up. As funded residents move out of their units, providers can fill them with higher revenue, private pay customers. The Coming Home Program, a program of NCB Capital Impact supported by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has created policies, programs and demonstrations as models for states and communities. By combining Medicaid services funding with housing subsidy programs carrying mandatory affordability periods ranging from 15 to 30 years, the projects guarantee a stable supply of affordable assisted living. However, this can be difficult for sponsoring organizations under the best of circumstances. Strong partnerships are required for communities and local organizations to succeed. At the policy
level, such partnerships must include the state regulatory, Medicaid and housing agencies. At the development level, the lead state agency must work with organizations interested in developing affordable living to resolve obstacles. Under Coming Home, state assisted living Medicaid programs were implemented and revised, state housing subsidy programs were aligned and more than 30 affordable assisted living projects were created. To address the scarcity of quality affordable assisted living, states, advocates and communities need to join together. Robert Jenkens is the Director of the Coming Home Programâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;NCB Capital Impact and a Board Member of CEAL.

assisted living service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for care that describes needs, likes and preferences and the specific manner in which this care will be delivered. Prepared thoroughly and thoughtfully, the service plan can help a resident achieve their highest level of function and quality of life. The service plan uses an interdisciplinary approach and includes the resident, the family if the resident wishes, the facility nurse and resident service coordinator, and may also include the activity
and dining directors. Many states require that assisted living facilities prepare service plans for each resident. Even if the state does not require it, a well run facility will use them. CCAL recommends that service plans be reevaluated every six months or anytime there is a significant change in a resident’s health status, including a hospitalization.

The Facts on Congregate Housing Supportive Services for low-to-moderate incomes n Congregate Housing provides supportive services to residents in selected independent living communities to help them remain independent. n Congregate Housing services are offered in senior citizen apartment buildings that serve low-to-moderate income residents and may be operated by local housing authorities, non-profit organizations or housing management companies. n Eligible persons receive daily meals, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and assistance with other activities of daily living.
n In Maryland, the State Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program. n Participants must be 62, mentally or physically impaired and of limited income. Spouses of eligible participants must be 55 years of age or older and meet the same requirements. n Individual program participants contribute to the cost of Congregate Housing based on a sliding scale. To qualify for available state subsidies, an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income may not exceed 60 percent of the state median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple.

managing tinnitus
preventing and treating ringing or buzzing in the ears If you have ever experienced a ringing, buzzing or even roaring in your ears, even when there is nothing around you actually creating that noise, then you know what it’s like to have tinnitus. For an estimated 50 million people, tinnitus doesn’t permanently go away. It can be so annoying that it can lead to fatigue, stress, sleep problems, concentration troubles, anxiety and depression. The good news is that new options exist for tinnitus management, including a breakthrough sound therapy tool. You may be surprised by what can cause tinnitus A common cause of tinnitus is exposure to loud sounds, which can damage the sensory cells of the inner ear. Tinnitus has also been associated with ear in-
fections, aging, excessive ear wax, high blood pressure and even sensory nerve disorders. Activities that may cause tinnitus include smoking, drinking alcohol or caffeine, and taking excessive amounts of aspirin or antibiotics. What to do if you think you have tinnitus Start by being evaluated by a hearing healthcare professional. Some hearing healthcare professionals have general experience with tinnitus, while others are specifically trained in managing tinnitus. He or she can help you determine the best options for managing the condition. If there are no specific medical issues involved, there are still several steps you can take to help reduce the severity of your tinnitus or help you cope better

hearing aids to amplify sounds can help to make the ringing or buzzing less distracting. • ZEN. The real breakthrough today comes from advanced hearing instruments that make use of fractal technology and offer a harmonic sound program called ZEN. This type of program generates soothing sounds and chimes that show great promise as a sound therapy tool to relax patients and distract their attention from their tinnitus. It’s like the wearer having a spa for their ears. Patients will happily make this tradeoff to finally get some relief from their tinnitus. The innovative Zen program is available inside premier-level wireless hearing aids such as the new CLEAR AND FUSION. The discreet wireless hearing aids that offer ZEN also offer ultimate performance in noise, ultimate hearing of soft and distant speech, an Audibility
Extender that takes high pitched sounds out of your range of hearing and actually moves them into your range of hearing, and many other features to help you hear better at home, at work, on the telephone or in a noisy restaurant. • Noise suppression. Electronic devices with pillow speakers that produce “white noise” may help you to sleep better at night. Additional lifestyle changes that may help you to either avoid tinnitus or make the symptoms less bothersome: • Avoid likely irritants. Limit your exposure to things such as loud noises or nicotine that may worsen your tinnitus. • Manage stress. Stress can aggravate tinnitus even more. You may get relief through relaxation therapy, biofeedback or exercise. • Limit your alcohol intake. Alcohol
can increase blood flow, especially in the inner ear area, which can contribute to tinnitus symptoms. • Use hearing protection. Exposure to loud noise or listening to loud music through headphones can, over time, damage the nerves in your ears causing hearing loss and tinnitus. • Manage your cardiovascular health. Regular exercise and good nutrition can help prevent tinnitus linked to blood vessel disorders. Learning as much as you can about tinnitus and ways to alleviate symptoms can help you cope. For the millions of people of all ages who experience this annoying condition, the ZEN Program is by far the most promising option for tinnitus management.

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

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

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

Assisted Living
Understanding Assisted Living in the District of Columbia and Maryland District of Columbia: There are currently 16 licensed Assisted Living Residences in the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia Department of Health Regulation and Licensing defines an Assisted Living Residence, or ALR, as any entity, whether public or private, for profit or not for profit that combines housing, health, and personalized assistance, in accordance to individually-developed service plans, for the support of individuals who are not related to the owner or operator of the entity. An Assisted Living Residence does not include a group home for mentally retarded persons as defined in section 2(5) of the Health-Care and Community Residence Facility, Hospice and Home Care Licensure Act of 1983, or a mental health community residence facility as that term is used in Chapter 38 of Title 22 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations. Source: http://hrla.doh.dc.gov/hrla/ Maryland: In Maryland, an assisted living provider is defined as: A residential or facility-based provider that provides housing and supportive services, supervision, personalized assistance,
health-related services, or a combination of these services to meet the needs of residents who are unable to perform, or who need assistance in performing, the activities of daily living or instrumental activities of daily living, in a way that promotes optimum dignity and independence for the residents. (Code of Maryland Regulations 10.07.14.02B(10). There are a wide variety of assisted living providers in Maryland. They range from large, corporate-managed facilities where hundreds of people live in their own apartments to small, private homes in which the owners provide services to two residents who may share a bedroom. What all of these providers have in common, however, is they all offer their residents some level of assistance with their daily activities, such as dressing, bathing and eating.
of residents with moderate care needs, and a level three license allows a provider to care for residents with highlevel care needs (as well as residents with low or moderate needs). If a person is mentally sharp, only takes medication for arthritis pain and only needs assistance with dressing and bathing, he or she would be classified as needing a low level of care. A person would need a high level of care if he or she is mentally confused by dementia, has a complicated list of powerful medicines that must be given at different times each day, and requires assistance with bathing, eating, walking, dressing and toileting. Such a person could only be accepted by a provider with a level three license. Most providers are licensed at level three, which means they can accept residents with low, moderate or high care needs. If individuals have a progressive condition and do not want to have to move repeatedly, they should look for a provider with a level three license even if they only need a low level of care now.
Where Joy and Dignity Bloom
Levels of Care Assisted living facilities in Maryland are licensed to provide up to three levels of care. The levels correspond with how much assistance residents need. Licensure at level one means the provider is authorized to take care of residents with low care needs. A level two license means the provider can also take care

HOW TO
find residential living
a more close-knit way of life Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and serv-
ing of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. Small assisted living facilities allow residents As with any community, it is important to maintain independence. to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families.

HOW TO
connect, share and inspire
the benefits of networking for seniors
A
s we age, our social circles become smaller and smaller, but conversely our need for socialization increases. We begin to lose our family to their families, friends move on and our aging bodies may begin to restrict our ability to engage in the development of new circles. So where are seniors and baby boomers going in search of socialization? Seniors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sitting still and allowing this dynamic to slow them down. In fact, according to a media management company, comScore, among older people who went online last year, the number visiting social networking sites grew almost as fast as the overall rate of Internet use among that group. Seniors have time and an interest in being connected. Many

suffer from chronic illnesses and are in search of data and support groups, while others want to feel like a part of a community. Others just want a means by which to keep their minds active and a place to journal their thoughts. In fact, some research suggests that loneliness can hasten conditions like dementia and that online social connections may help delay this illness by keeping the mind active. Today, there are a number of options on the social networking landscape for seniors and caregivers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but one in particular caught our attention. TreatmentDiaries.com has many distinctive attributes and as a result is growing quickly. The networking site is dedicated to the needs of all types of users including individual patients, caregivers, family members and advocates. It promotes the
importance of keeping a diary of lifechanging experiences and the significance of engaging in behaviors and activities which promote health, mental wellness and the self-management of chronic conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to make authentic, quality, lifelong, and if they wish anonymous connections, and inspire others to face their condition,â&#x20AC;? said Amy Ohm, executive director and co-founder of the site. TreatmentDiaries.com was inspired by real stories of people struggling with chronic conditions and in desperate need of support. The goal is to connect those facing similar circumstances and facilitate the sharing of valuable information and support at every stage of an illness.

choosing where to live By Suzi Klyber Choosing where to live as you age is not an easy decision. There are so many variables that come into play. As a home care therapist, I often see people in the wrong setting for them. They do not have a clue where they should be living. Often, the family of the senior automatically assumes that they need to be moved to an assisted living. Gaining awareness of how to effectively make the right choice is important. How do you choose? What affects your choices? Below are some questions to guide your selection process: n Do you have the ability to perform all of the activities of daily living? n What are the costs of active adult or assisted living centers versus living in your own home with help? n Is your home accessible? If not, can it
be made accessible with simple changes? n Cost of moving versus making necessary changes that allow you to stay in your own home? n Do you have family close by to help with activities of daily living if necessary? n Are county services available to you at your income level? n Do you have the ability to pay someone to perform the activities of daily living you cannot or choose to no longer perform? n Do you prefer to stay close to your own doctors, church, community and friends? n Are you able to drive or do you need a ride everywhere you go? n Should you move closer to your children? Think about this decision in terms of your adult children’s plans to stay where they are once they retire. n Do you have the money set aside to
pay for assisted living and/or a nursing home? Are you aware of the cost and/or the breakdown of costs? Children of seniors, please remember you are simply a consultant to your parents until they are no longer able to make these decisions themselves. Work with them and, if need be, bring in experts to evaluate the level of help they ultimately need (i.e.: senior care managers, social workers from your county, geriatric psychiatrists, occupational therapists that perform the KELS evaluation, Aging-InPlace Contractors). Forcing them into your way of thinking only destroys your relationship with them. Remember to work together as a team. Ask questions and be open and willing to learn what they desire and need. Suzi Klyber, OTR/L, is a Home Care Therapist for The Medical Team & Consultant for Granting-You-Access.

assisted living residents and children beat the same drum
M
ost people think of bingo and bridge as the primary activities in senior living communities. These days, however, there are dozens of unique and innovative programming concepts being offered in communities. In fact, drum circles are a welcome new offering at dozens of communities throughout the region thanks to Alan Yellowitz, founder of The Beat Goes On, a company that facilitates percussionbased activities. According to Yellowitz, these musical activities are a great way to enable individuals to come together and contribute to the group in their own way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drum circles are all about forming a community of folks that are creating rhythms together; everyone has their piece,â&#x20AC;? he said. Two local assisted living communities have even used drum circles to expand the community beyond their walls and forge relationships with local schools and children. Sunrise at Bluemont Park in Arlington, Va., had a program in which the residents of the community were pen pals with second graders at Ashlawn Elementary School. The community then held a drum circle led by Yellowitz as a way to connect the residents and children for their first face-to-face meeting. Another community promoting this
Residents of Tall Oaks Assisted Living hosted 22 children from Sunset Hills Montessori to participate together in an intergenerational drum circle.
activity is Tall Oaks Assisted Living in Reston, Va., where Yellowitz first led drum circles with the residents and then students at Sunset Hills Montessori. The two groups then joined together for a large intergenerational drum circle, which also kicked off a new program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were excited to connect our students with the seniors to share and learn
about music and culture together,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Christopher Green, a music teacher at Sunset Hills Montessori. Not only are these drum circles a new and fun activity to keep residents engaged, but they have also proved to be a beneficial way to span generations and connect residents of a community with nearby individuals of all ages.

HOW TO
care for a loved one
the well spouse association offers support n by Terri Corcoran Marriage has enough challenges when both partners are basically healthy. But if one partner becomes ill or disabled with a chronic condition, the dynamics of the marriage completely change. Instead of husband and wife, the relationship becomes “ill spouse” and “well spouse,” with the well spouse taking on not only a caregiving role, but also taking on more and more of the responsibilities of daily life. In extreme (albeit not rare) cases, when the ill spouse is completely disabled mentally and physically, the well spouse becomes responsible for everything in their lives, from managing the illness with all its inherent medical care complexities to managing finances, shopping, home repairs, and parenting if there are children at home. Add to these physical stresses the well spouses’ excruciating grief at watching
their life partner become hopelessly ill and disabled. To say the least, the marriage relationship becomes drastically altered and challenged. In marriages afflicted by certain chronic, degenerative illnesses, well spouses may suffer the painful losses of verbal communication and physical intimacy with their partners. Loss of income is also a major issue if the ill spouse and/or the well spouse cannot continue to work. The relationship of well spouses to the outside world also changes – social isolation may result from no longer working outside the home, and it is common for extended family and friends to drift away rather than lend much-needed support. As a result, the physical, emotional and mental burdens can become unbearable for well spouses, rendering them exhausted, depressed, angry, frustrated, hopeless, and
feeling trapped and abandoned. The good news is that there is help for caregiving spouses at the Well Spouse Association (WSA), a national/international peer-to-peer, non-profit support organization. Whether on the online Forum or in a face-to-face support group, WSA offers a safe haven for spousal caregivers to talk about their situations openly; to express frustration, anger and grief; and to receive compassionate understanding from others who walk the same difficult journey. It is a tremendous relief to be able to talk to people who listen to you and truly “get it.” The WSA website (www.wellspouse. org) offers articles and blogs by members, an online discussion forum, and links to many caregiving resources. For more information, the WSA office can be reached at 800-838-0879.

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

resident? • Are care plans reviewed and updated by providers and family members? • Is the interaction between residents and staff members warm and respectful? • Are public areas and resident rooms clean and comfortable? • Are there a variety of activities available for residents? • What is the staff to patient ratio at night and on weekends?
• Do staff members respond to residents’ requests for assistance promptly? • Are there enough staff members available to assist residents during meals?

Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a difficult 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 to the nursing home.
n
Be available the entire day of admission to help settle the resident and provide support.

HOW TO
provide hope & happiness
a caregiver’s perspective For caregivers, the human capacity for hope is a tremendous blessing. It may be the hope that your loved one will make new friends when they move into a senior living community or that they will respond well to a new treatment for a troubling illness. Hope is said to “spring eternal,” but its source is a recognition of our limitations. It is, in effect, an admission that there are things that impact our loved one’s wellbeing that even the most conscientious caretaker cannot have control over. But don’t let the magnitude of the challenges your loved one faces cause you to undervalue your own ability to make a difference. What you can do for your loved one is so much more important than what you can’t. Although you can’t reverse the march
of time, you can bring a smile to your loved one’s face or provide a moment of satisfaction and peace. Here are some steps you can take that will always improve the quality of your loved one’s life: Give the gift of companionship.
A simple conversation can be wonderfully rejuvenating. The topic doesn’t have to be particularly meaningful or significant. What counts is that you take the occasion to convey your true regard and your appreciation for your loved one’s experience and point of view. Serve as their link to the greater world. A human being’s sense of
curiosity is impressively resilient. When you scan the paper in the morning or listen to the news, mentally tag the items you think will give your loved one plea-

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

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

HOW TO
protect your family’s assets
an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs In 2010, more than 7,000 people turned 65 years old or older every single day, a figure that is predicted to rise in 2011. Further, an AARP survey revealed that only 4 in 10 of those people feel they will be financially secure for their golden years. For many, that lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of assisted living. That’s why Gabriel Heiser, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in nursing home law, believes that people should start planning now, even if they aren’t close to their 65th birthdays. “The average monthly cost of a nursing home today is $6,917 per month, and a typical Alzheimer’s patient will spend
$395,000 for their nursing home care after diagnosis,” said Heiser, author of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (www.MedicaidSecrets.com). “Those costs are only going to rise, so it’s important to plan now. One important benefit to consider is Medicaid, which can help offset a good amount of those costs, but only if you know what it takes to qualify for those benefits.” The mistake a lot of people make is thinking that they can’t qualify for Medicaid, according to Heiser. “Many feel that because they own a home or have some assets that they can’t qualify for Medicaid help with their nursing home and doctor’s bills,” he said. “The truth is there are a variety of assets people
can own and still qualify. It’s just a matter of knowing the rules, and making a plan to meet those requirements.” Heiser listed the asset limits for those applying for Medicaid. They include: • Cash – You can possess $2,000 cash that will not be counted as an asset in determining your Medicaid eligibility. • Home – There is a $500,000 exclusion toward your home, meaning that if your home is valued at $500,000 or less at the time of your application, it is excluded as an asset. Some states use the higher permitted exemption of $750,000. • Car – Up until recently, you could exclude only one car at a value of $4,500 or less, however that law has been changed. Now, one automobile of ANY current market value is excluded on your application.
For quality care and quality of life, one facility stands out. • Skilled & Intermediate Care/Medicare Certified • Restorative & Rehabilitative Nursing • Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapies • Extensive Therapeutic Activities Program

• Funeral and Burial Funds – If you have a pre-planned funeral or memorial arrangement, the entire value of that plan is excluded. If you do not, a separate bank account that contains $1,500 toward funeral expenses can be excluded. If you have pre-purchased burial plots, you can exclude not only the costs of the plot for the applicant, but for the entire family, and still be eligible for Medicaid. • Property – According to federal law, any real or personal property that is essential to self-support, regardless of value or rate of return, is excluded. That could include farms, rental properties and other real estate investments
that generate income necessary for selfsupport. For rental income, however, the property must generate at least 6 percent of its value annually in order to qualify for the exclusion. • Life Insurance – Only the cash value of a life insurance policy owned by the applicant is counted, thus, all term policies are ignored. “There are so many other rules that can benefit those who aren’t sure they’ll have enough when the time comes,” Heiser added. “The key is to plan now and act now. These laws exist for your protection, and avoiding the discussion and the planning necessary to take care
of the potential complications just because it is an unpleasant topic will only result in a more unpleasant conversation when you realize you’re not ready when the worst happens. That can be a very expensive dilemma. Peace of mind right now, however, won’t cost a dime, and could save you hundreds of thousands of dimes later.” K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning, including trusts, estates, gifts, and related tax issues since graduating from Boston University School of Law in 1983.

HOW TO
solve long-term care issues
an ombudsman can help
T
he 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 longterm care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints against specific long-term care providers. Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a longterm care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the commu-
nity 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.
tigation, then a signed waiver of rights to resident confidentiality is required, so that the Ombudsman can review the records and speak to facility staff. The Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He/she will gather facts and relevant information 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. For these reasons, local Ombudsman are an important part of the continuum of care. If you have questions about longterm care providers, a complaint about a specific provider or for more information regarding long-term care issues/needs, please contact your Area Agency on Aging to locate an Ombudsman in your community.
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. Following a thorough investigation, the Ombudsman will work with the resident and the long-term care provider to help resolve concern(s). 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 This article was adapted from telephone, email or at an in- person visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia Long-Term to a long-term care facility.

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option Special care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — 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
Every 69 seconds, someone in the US develops Alzheimer’s disease.
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. Researching special care residences can ensure your loved one will receive the proper support he/ she needs.

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
HOW TO
prevent wandering
insights on a common behavior People with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or other forms of dementia, can often wander away from their home. A critical wanderer is someone with dementia who has wandered away from their caregiver(s) on their own free-will. It causes worry and stress and presents local authorities with special problems. Someone with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is disorientated and unable to judge potentially dangerous places and situations. Time is critical when a life is at risk. People suffering from severe Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are more at risk and the incidence of critical wandering increases. Research provides useful insights into Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wandering behavior. People with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leave their own residence or nursing home and start to wander along roads. Eighty-nine percent of
patients are usually located within one mile (1.2 km) of the point last seen. If the person is not on the road itself, they are usually in a creek or drainage, and/ or caught in briars or bushes. The person is usually found wandering a short distance from a road; on average, 33 yards. Some patients eventually succumb to the environment (hypothermia, dehydration) and require evacuation or are deceased. Also: â&#x20AC;˘ They will not cry out for help or respond to shouts. â&#x20AC;˘ They will not leave many physical clues. â&#x20AC;˘ They may attempt to travel to a former residence or wander to a favorite location. An understanding of wandering be-
havior in Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease allows families, healthcare facilities, local authorities and search and rescue services to maximize their efforts within the most effective parameters. Nursing and residential homes should search the building and grounds and repeat the search every few hours. The wandererâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous home sites or places of special meaning should be searched. Areas with heavy bushes and briars and areas within 100 yards of the roadways need special attention, as someone with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can become entangled in them and not be able to make a judgment on how to get out.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations
H
ospitalizations can be necessary and appropriate, but in some instances may be avoidable. Unnecessary hospitalizations are not only costly but can also slow down the recovery process. Evidence from multiple studies suggests that repeat hospital stays can be avoided through more effective transitioning of the patient from hospital to home and with health coaching, education and support to enable the patient to self-manage their condition. Most hospital patients are anxious to return to the comfort of their home, but they may need some additional support to make that goal a reality. Home health agencies can offer services that may help patients make a smooth transition and avoid a readmission to the hospital. Too often, patients mistakenly believe that they can promptly return to the life they were living prior to their hospital admission. Generally, patients are discharged from the hospital when they are stable and improving but long before they have regained all their strength. Home health agencies may be the right option for patients who need extra help recovering. Many home health agencies offer care for patients following a hospital stay for surgery, illness, injury or exacerbation of a disease. These programs help pa-
tients recover, to the greatest extent possible, in the comfort and familiarity of home. Some agencies even offer specialized programs targeted to manage certain diseases. For instance, THE MEDICAL TEAM, a Medicare-certified home health agency serving Northern Virginia that offers home care programs for a wide variety of patients, has a specialty program for Congestive Heart Failure patients and others with chronic heart conditions. This signature program, called Heart Smart, exemplifies how patients can be successfully supported in their recovery. The program integrates key components to reduce the likelihood of a hospital readmission, including an effective transition process from hospital to home, medication management, facilitating doctor follow-up and educational tools. “A primary goal of our programs is to teach patients to self-manage their condition, thus giving them confidence, peace of mind, a feeling of greater control and ultimately reducing the likelihood of an unnecessary hospitalization,” said THE MEDICAL TEAM’s Administrator Jennifer Martin, RN BSN HCS-D, COS-C. A vital component of the Heart Smart program is telehealth monitoring. A cardiac nurse equips the patient with an easy-to-use, wireless telemonitoring device to track vital signs. The information is promptly transmitted and reviewed
allowing for early intervention before a medical condition might worsen and warrant readmission to the hospital. The proof of the program’s success is best found in patients like Martha, a 91year-old with Congestive Heart Failure who is now recovering at home following her most recent hospitalization. An in-home nurse helped her learn to check her vital signs and set weekly diet and exercise goals. The nurse also facilitated follow-up with her doctor. With the nurse’s help, Martha is resuming her normal activities and is looking forward to traveling again. Whether it’s a specialty program like the one Martha benefited from or general assistance with the tasks of daily living, home care may help patients make the transition from hospital to home. With the dedicated assistance of home care providers, many patients find the road to recovery much easier – and much less likely to involve an additional stop at the hospital.

arion van Binsbergen Pritchard was attending the school of social work in Amsterdam, Holland, when the Germans invaded the country. Like so many of her peers, WWII dramatically altered the course of her life. Her transition from college student to rescue worker was gradual, but seemingly inevitable. Early in the occupation, Marion was asked by her supervisor to take home the young son of a Jewish couple before they were deported. However, her life as an insurgent really began when she saw the residents of a Jewish children’s home deported. “That event really increased her resolve, and she decided that this [rescue work] was something she ought to do,” recalled her son, Ivor Pritchard. Marion went on to dedicate much of her time to hiding, sheltering and moving Jewish children who were in danger of

being sent to concentration camps. Ivor explained that Marion actually does not know how many of the children she helped ultimately survived the War. “She
knows that she helped to hide hundreds of children, but with the exception of a few, she doesn’t know how many of them survived,” he said. Marion’s connections with her charges were naturally limited by her sense of duty. “When you’re trying to keep people hidden, you don’t want to know any more than you have to, so you don’t have anything to tell if you get caught,” Ivor noted. After the War, Marion became a social worker for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and helped to organize displaced person camps. It was at an UNRRA camp that she met Tony Pritchard, a former U.S. Army officer who became the camp director. “They had actually met while she was training for the job but parted ways and were reunited when he was brought in to run the camp,” recalled Ivor.

Marion ...
Continued from page 201 “They reestablished their relationship there and were married at the camp.” After several years working in the camps, the Pritchards returned to the United States and went on to have three boys. However, Marion never gave up her work on behalf of Jewish refugees, later taking a position with the Boston Jewish Family and Children’s Service. After Tony passed away, Marion decided to move to the Washington, D.C., area to be closer to one of her children.
Ivor lives in Cleveland Park, and Marion moved to The Georgetown Retirement Residence, an assisted living community that is only three miles away. Marion had been living at The Georgetown for several years when a series of falls resulted in a trip to the emergency room. From the hospital, Marion went to a rehabilitation center to learn to walk with a walker. When she was released back to The Georgetown, they recommended that she receive additional nursing care and suggested Capital City Nurses, a full service home care agency. “Capital City has been helping her since last November, and their services have
been very good,” Ivor said. He explained that the degree of help provided has varied according to his mother’s needs. The caregivers from Capital City have formed a strong bond with Marion. “The caregivers have come to understand how my mother sees things,” Ivor said. “They are very good at encouraging her to be active but also respect her independence, which is so important.” The independent spirit that allowed Marion to risk everything to protect and save children during the War endures to this day. While she may not know all the victims she saved, her legendary efforts will certainly never be forgotten.

Home Car e Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers If facing this choice, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision:
1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or
supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services?
5. Are criminal history background checks,
2. Are social security, federal and state
taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible?
3. Is there verification that the paid
caregivers can legally work in the U.S.?
4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who
7. A ssuming family is not available to

otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?
is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance policies exclude
state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?
6. Is there bonding and insurance in place
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.
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) working in the home.
Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n
Small valuables Irreplaceable or sentimental items Small family heirlooms

caregiver tips in helping with medicare by Ross Blair, PlanPrescriber.com 1. Manage Timelines Effectively: Medicare eligibility begins for U.S. citizens and legal residents when they turn 65. A person has a seven-month initial enrollment period that begins three months before their birthday month and ends three months after. During this initial enrollment period, a person can enroll in Original Medicare (Parts A&B), a prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D) or a Medicare Advantage plan. If a senior wants to enroll in a medigap (Medicare supplement insurance) policy, the open-enrollment period starts the first month the person is both 65 and enrolled in Part B, and lasts for 6 months. During that 6-month medigap enrollment period, a person has a guar-
anteed right to buy any medigap policy of use. Then use the prescription drug sold in their state. plan comparison tool at PlanPrescriber. com to: 2.

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 remodeling projects and addressing common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS is that they 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 are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, bar-
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.

finding and evaluating an aging-in-place specialist Compare how much money you have to spend on a remodeling project to the cost of moving for a financial perspective. To find Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists, seek referrals from others who may have had similar work done. Before you commit to a remodeler, verify with your local state office of consumer protection and Better Business Bureau that he/she has the appropriate license(s) in your state. Ask for a writ-
ten estimate of the work your remodeler will perform based on your own specifications. Be firm, but prepared to pay the total amount in full. Finally, select a professional with plenty of experience with your type of project. Remember, the lowest price does not always ensure a successful remodeling project and home improvement is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

Home Car e 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. 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.

Area Demonstration Projects Showcase Universal Design It is difficult to fully understand and appreciate the function, utility and beauty of Universal Design. Words and pictures cannot replace visiting a home and discovering the benefits of design first hand. However, it can be challenging to schedule visits to a home that is occupied by a resident. Demonstration projects present an opportunity for interested consumers to experience first hand the features and benefits of Universal Design to help implement these concepts in their own space. Innovative Model of Living at Vinson Hall – Mclean, VA
One of the most unique approaches to a demonstration project has been created at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va. Residents of the community worked closely with management and award-winning design expert Moira Leite to create the “apartment of the future.” This model apartment is beautiful and accessible but, through intentional design, assists in prolonging the independence and enhancing the quality of life of the residents. The apartment incorporates features and products that enhance utility, mobility and safety within
the space. It serves as a model apartment for future residents, a prototype for the renovation of existing residents’ apartments and an opportunity for the public to discover improvements they can make to their private residences. Kathy Martin, CEO of Vinson Hall and a retired Navy rear admiral shared, ‘‘This is exciting for us, as well as the community at large. We have an opportunity to enhance living here for our seniors. I believe we have an opportunity to be a model for the community and to partner in outreach.” For more information: www.vinsonhall.org
Christian Community Group Home Project – Washington, DC
AARP has joined forces with the District of Columbia’s Office on Aging; renowned designer and architect Michael Graves; Christian Communities Group Homes (CCGH), a service of Episcopal Senior Ministries; Rebuilding Together; and other innovative and visionary collaborators to transform a vacant house into a model universal design home. The finished house will be home to six lowincome seniors and will serve as a model for others in the U.S. and around the world who want to create living spaces that let seniors age in place.

help is available in your neighborhood and across the country Government agencies are an invaluable resource that can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 created the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a national network of agencies that promote and protect the health and well-being of older adults. Amendments to the OAA provided grants to Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), giving them the resources to identify local needs and plan and fund local programs. The Department of Health & Human Services describes this comprehensive network as the National Aging Network. The key components of this network, which

virtual home tour for retirees Remodeling magazine recently announced the launch of Home for Life, a virtual home tour that showcases how to remodel a home to save money and live well throughout the retirement years. The first of the 76 million Baby Boomers turned 65 years old last year. A recent survey conducted by AARP revealed that 84 percent of Boomers would like to stay in their current home during retirement, but only 16 percent have taken any steps to adapt their home for the next couple of decades. The photo-realistic online virtual tour is now open at www.homeforlife2012.com. The home focuses on the needs of a hypothetical couple who have been married almost 40 years and have decided to continue living in their current home after they retired, so they can remain near their friends, family and community services. The tour shows ho-
meowners and remodelers how to: • Adapt a home for aging in place, • Incorporate universal design into any renovation, • Lower a home’s heating and cooling costs for years through energy-efficient home improvements, products and replacements, and • Save money and hassle over time through choosing low-maintenance materials and products with long lifecycles. “Our goal for the Remodeling Home for Life virtual tour is to shed light on what baby boomers and remodelers will need to consider to adapt homes for the retirement years, including universal design strategies; lowered operating costs; and durable, low-maintenance products and systems,” said Sal Alfano, editorial director of Remodeling. “We have brought together experts in remodeling design, active adult lifestyle, energy and
resource efficiency, and universal design to create Home for Life.” The Remodeling Home for Life tour will show how to transform a classic suburban family house into a convenient, energy-efficient and low-maintenance home for an active Baby Boomer couple, and offers a wealth of ideas to remodel for the next stage of life. The tour features before-and-after photos and changes for the most cost-effective remodeling projects including: • Kitchen, • Bathroom, • Master bedroom, and • Front entrance. Remodeling is partnering with AARP to promote the project. Case/Design Remodeling, Inc. in Bethesda, Md., is a project team member. More information is available at www.homeforlife2012.com.

Understanding Home Health Care Benefits When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: â&#x20AC;˘ Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need â&#x20AC;˘ Medical social services â&#x20AC;˘ Certain medical supplies â&#x20AC;˘ Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and laundry. Also not included are home-delivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care. For more information on Medicare coverage, visit medicare.gov. Information Provided by Family & Nursing Care/Legacy Home Care and adapted from medicare.gov.
When the need is there, so are we.
Capital City Nurses has been providing private duty caregivers in homes, hospitals, assisted living, and medical facilities for almost 35 years. Owned and managed by nurses, we are the full-service agency with a reputation for attention to detail and exceeding expectations.

hunting for a prescription drug plan is no game n
By Michael Weakland
It’s that time of year again. “Open season” is right around the corner for the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. Hunting down the best plan for you is no game. Newly eligible Medicare beneficiaries, and current beneficiaries who are considering changes to their Medicare Part D plan, should mark their calendars for October 15. The “open season” will run from October 15 to December 7. The Medicare Part D prescription drug program is available to all Medicare beneficiaries to help with the costs of medications. While all Medicare beneficiaries can participate in the prescription drug program, some people with limited income and resources also are eligible for “Extra Help” to pay for monthly premiums, annual deductibles and prescription co-
Personal Care At Affordable Rates
payments. The Extra Help is worth about $4,000 a year. To figure out whether you are eligible for the Extra Help, Social Security needs to know your income and the value of any savings, investments and real estate (other than the home you live in). To qualify, you must be receiving Medicare and have: • Income not over $16,775 for an individual or $22,695 for a married couple living together. Even if your annual income is higher, you still may be able to get some help with monthly premiums, annual deductibles and prescription co-payments. Some examples where your income may be higher include if you or your spouse: —Support other family members who live with you; —Have earnings from work; or —Live in Alaska or Hawaii; and • Resources not over $13,070 for an indi-
vidual or $26,120 for a married couple living together. Resources include such things as bank accounts, stocks and bonds. You can complete an easy-to-use online application for Extra Help at www.socialsecurity.gov. To apply for the Extra Help, call Social Security at 1-800-772- 1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). And if you would like more information about the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program itself, visit www.medicare. gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-6334227; TTY 1-877-486-2048). This open season (October 15 to December 7), after you track down the perfect prescription drug plan for you, hunt for something that could put about $4,000 in your pocket . Michael Weakland is the Social Security Administration Area Director for the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.

social security and women n
By Elaine Booth
Social Security treats men and women equally. Men and women with identical earnings histories are treated exactly the same. However, there are things women in particular should know about Social Security. Although treated equally by Social Security, there are trends and differences in lifestyle that can affect benefits. For example, women tend to care for many people: spouses, children and parents. Taking time away from the workplace to care for a newborn child or aging parent can have an impact on your future Social Security benefits. Also, despite significant strides through the years, women are more likely to earn less over a lifetime than men. Women are less often covered by private retirement plans, and they are more dependent on Social Security in

products to keep you active advancements in medical equipment facilitate safe and healthy lifestyles
M
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 re-

ceive 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 task of climbing and descending stairs. A wide array of wheelchairs, walkers, and canes are also available to help those with mobility assistance needs. Care assistance products include hospital-style beds, equipment to help with transferring and specially formulated mattresses. All of these products are espe-
cially important for individuals who wish to remain in the home environment. Paying for Supplies & Equipment Medicare helps pay the costs for durable medical equipment. According to Medicare, in order to be covered, “items must be reusable, such as walkers, wheelchairs, or hospital beds.” Durable medical equipment for home health services is paid for under both Medicare Part B and Part A. Medicare coverage varies, and some equipment must be rented. Coverage by private insurance for durable medical equipment will vary greatly depending on the company and the policy. Coverage for medical supplies by both Medicare and private insurance will depend on the products required and doctors’ recommendations. Finding a Provider Individuals should be comfortable with the professionalism and reliability of the company. Request specific information about costs and product delivery time frames. Consumers should also be aware of any warranties.

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Virginia
I
n Virginia, home care organizations, certified home health agencies, and licensed and certified hospice programs are reviewed by the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification. There are several types of agencies in Virginia that provide these services. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations.
Home Health Agencies
Home health agencies are public or private agencies, organizations or parts of agencies or organizations that meet the requirements for participation in Medicare under 42 CFR 440.70 (d). This indicates these federallycertified agencies provide skilled nursing services and at least one other therapeutic service, e.g. physical, speech or occupational therapy; medical social services; or home health aide services, and they also meet the capitalization requirements under 42 CFR 489.28. An agency may choose to be exempt from state licensure through certification in one of four ways: â&#x20AC;˘ The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Cer-
tification; â&#x20AC;˘ Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) Certification; â&#x20AC;˘ Medicaid Personal Care Certification; â&#x20AC;˘ Medicaid/Medicare Certification. When trying to find a home health agency, ask for their license number. Be specific in asking for the license number issued by the Virginia Department of Health, and not the number for their license to operate a business.
Home Care Organization
The code of Virginia defines a home care organization (HCO) as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a public or private organization, whether operated for profit or not for profit, that provides, at the residence of a patient or individual in the Commonwealth of Virginia, one or more of the following services: 1) home health services, including services provided by or under direct supervision of any health care professional under a medical plan of care in a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence on a visit or hourly basis to patients who have or are at risk of injury, illness, or a disabling condition and require short-term or long-term interventions; 2) personal care services, including assistance in personal care to include activities of daily living provided in an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence on a visit or hourly basis to individuals who have or are at risk of illness, injury, or disabling condition; or 3) pharmaceutical services, including services provided in a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence, which include the dispensing and administration of a drug
or drugs, and parenteral nutritional support, associated patient instruction, and such other services as identified by the Board of Health by regulation.â&#x20AC;?
Companion Services
In Virginia, companion organizations can provide only chore, companion or homemaker services, in addition to any of the following, without the aforementioned licenses. Companion services can include providing non-routine home maintenance, along with assisting individuals unable to care for themselves with transportation, meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, companionship and household management. Also included is assistance with bathing areas the client cannot reach, fastening clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, combing hair, brushing dentures, shaving with an electric razor, and providing stabilization to a client while walking. Homemaker services, however, do not include feeding, bed baths, transferring, lifting, putting on braces or other supports, or cutting nails and shaving with a blade. Such services would need to be provided by a licensed HCO or HHA in Virginia.

A d u lt Day C e n t e r s
HOW TO
find daytime supervision
centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers Adult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers as they offer socialization, activities and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious
meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a Provider 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 Continued on page 242

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 proce-
dures, 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.

About the Prince George’s Senior Provider Network Prince George's Senior Provider Network improves the care and quality of the lives of seniors by providing them with education and resources through collaboration with community agencies and organizations. PGSPN is comprised of organizations that are dedicated to providing services to seniors in Prince George's County. The group was birthed out of an overwhelming need to provide the senior population, their families and providers with resources that affect daily living. In 2002 First Baptist Church of Glenarden became the official site to host our monthly meetings. The planning committee decided to include speakers who are respected and qualified local professionals in the county to speak on timely and important topics that address issues in the senior community. This became an invaluable vehicle for networking opportunities between service providers, healthcare providers and senior care providers and thus… the Prince George’s Senior Provider Network grew. In 2008 we started hosting ‘Caregiver Symposiums’ for the senior community. The symposiums are designed to provide up to date resource information and address the needs of our seniors and their families. In partnership with the community our symposiums have grown each year. In 2010 a website and signage materials were created to represent our presence in Prince George’s County and provide ongoing information. We started the process to become a Non-Profit organization. Visit pgspn.org for more information.
Mission
The Prince George’s Senior Provider Network improves the care and quality of the lives of seniors by providing them with education and resources through the collaboration with community agencies and organizations.
Together we provide: ■ Monthly education programs ■ A yearly symposium ■ Supporting and building community awareness and relationships that enhance senior care ■ Disseminating and developing educational material ■ Interfacing with local and county government regarding needs of seniors and their caregivers ■ Serving as a resource to public agencies regarding the special needs of seniors ■ Partnering with the community regarding the increasing and changing needs of seniors in Prince George’s County

The Area Agency on Aging’s vision is to provide the highest quality of services which offers options, and promotes independence for older adults and their families.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS Maryland Access Point of Prince George’s County serves as a single point of entry into the long-term care system for older adults and person with disabilities. The MAP is a partnership effort with the local Health Department, Department of Social Services, Independence Now, Inc. and the Department of Family Services, Mental Health and Disabilities Administration. This collaboration facilitates a one-stop shop for older persons, persons with disabilities and their families. Family Caregiving Program provides assistance to caregivers; that includes family, friends, and members of the community, with access to support groups, problem solving, education, and respite care. The caregiver provides care to an older individual who may be losing their ability to live and care for themselves independently. Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) provides free health insurance counseling and assistance to persons 55 years and older. Trained volunteer counselors provide information about Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap, Long-Term Care Insurance, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), claims, appeals, and about physician or hospital bills. Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) is a program designed to reduce the amount of federal and state funds lost due to health insurance fraud by increasing the public’s ability to detect and report possible fraud, waste, and abuse.
Home and Community Based Services Waiver Program for Older Adults enables older adults to remain in a community setting even though their advanced age or disability would warrant placement in a long-term care facility. The Waiver allows services that are typically covered by Medicaid only in a long term care facility to be provided to eligible persons in their own homes or in assisted living facilities. Money Follows the Person (MFP) is a demonstration project designed to streamline the transition process for individuals who chose to transition from a long-term care facility to a community setting. A community setting is defined by MFP as a resident’s own home, or an assisted living facility with four or less unrelated residents. The Area Agency on Aging will serve as the local single point of entry for applicants. Senior Nutrition Program provides older persons with a nutritionally sound and satisfying meal in strategically located congregate sites and/or in the seniors home. The program provides the framework and support for not only an American meal, but also a kosher meal program. Senior Assisted Living Group Home Subsidy Program combines housing with supportive services for seniors who need regular assistance with daily activities, but are not in need of nursing home placement. By offering congregate meals, housekeeping, personal services and 24-hour supervision, this program enables frail elders to continue living in the community. The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene license all homes. Homes that are enrolled in the Senior Assisted Living Group Subsidy Program that have subsidy residents are monitored quarterly by the Area Agency on Aging’s Program Monitor. Senior Care funds services for seniors who may be at risk of nursing home placement. Clients can access publicly funded services, or if they are not available, Senior Care will make arrangements with private vendors. These services can include personal care, chore, adult day care, financial help for medications, medical

throughout the county. These children would otherwise be without the personal attention necessary for their social adjustment and maturation. Evidence-based Chronic Disease Self-Management is in partnership with Prince George's Community College to provide the “Living Well” Chronic Disease Self-Management Program to Older Adults in the County. This Program is a workshop given two and half hours, once a week, for six weeks, in community settings. People with different chronic health problems attend together. Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are non-health professionals with a chronic disease themselves. This program is especially helpful for people with chronic illness, as it gives them the skills to coordinate all the things needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.
Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a subsidized employment program and training which provides part-time employment and training for low-income older adults and improves and expands community services where needed.
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is a program designed to promote and educate the ideas and importance of a healthy lifestyle to senior citizens that attend Area Agency on Aging sponsored programs.
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides volunteer opportunities for over 400 seniors, age 55 and older. Volunteers serve in a variety of interesting and challenging assignments at over 50 non-profit organizations, schools and government agencies. In addition, RSVP offers such programs as friendly visiting, telephone reassurance, tutoring to school aged children, and provides supportive services to community and government agencies.

Telephone Reassurance Program recruits volunteers from the community, senior centers and other volunteer programs to place daily reassuring telephone calls to senior citizens within Prince George's County. The goal of the program is to eliminate some of the concerns facing senior citizens who live alone, thereby, assisting in remaining independent. The program provides the opportunity for senior citizens to connect by telephone with a friendly voice. This allows individuals to stay in contact with their community and to help decrease the feelings of loneliness and isolation. The Program also provides added peace of mind for relatives who live out of town.
