retirement living: where there’s

W

ith each issue of the SourceBook, we strive to provide the most up-to-date information on resources that can help you or your loved ones make retirement living decisions. Beyond that, however, our cover, feature and real-life stories offer a more personal and in-depth look at how

individuals have proceeded to utilize these resources and make life-changing decisions. While these stories offer examples of how today’s seniors and their families are planning ahead, they also reveal how the face of retirement is changing. In the nearly five years I have been with SourceBook, I know Steve and I have had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with some extraordinary individuals. And those featured in this

issue are no exception. As you continue to page through this publication, you will meet three fit gym regulars nowhere near slowing down, an artistic table tennis champion, a handy technology whiz and four women constantly on-the-go with their fourlegged companions. Gone are the days where the term ‘retirement living’ immediately leads to thoughts of yawn-worthy games of Bingo. Today’s communities feature a

never a dull moment vast amount of activities, amenities and organizations to keep residents as active as they like. In fact, in my interviews with residents over the years, the phrase I have heard most often repeated is, “I never have enough time.” The fact that we have come in contact with so many vibrant and interesting individuals has led us to start incorporating video interviews on our site. For the cover story and each feature you see in this issue, you will be able

to access the full video interviews on retirement-living.com. In addition to these inspirational stories, we hope you find another issue jam-packed with information that will help you make the right choice for your personal lifestyle.

On the Move

These fitness-minded individuals are having their needs met and then some at Oak Crest and Charlestown. By Steve Gurney

A

lthough the “obesity epidemic” seems to be grabbing headlines, Baby Boomers are surprisingly quite serious about their physical health and exercise regimens. A recent survey sponsored by Humana revealed that nearly 75 percent of over 50 Boomers exercise at least three times a week, and nearly half of the respondents have established a commitment to exercise for at least five years. These statistics are already changing the face of senior living communities as this more active and health-conscious consumer begins to research alternatives. Charlestown and Oak Crest are two senior living communities in Baltimore County that are ahead of this curve by having made a commitment to embrace this trend offering state-of-the-art facilities, services and support to address the needs of residents now and in the future. “Oak Crest and Charlestown are adapting with the times and with the needs of their residents,” said Jeff Getek, public affairs manager with Oak Crest and Charlestown. It is through an ongoing dialogue with the residents of these large campuses that they are able to deliver. “Each year we survey the residents, we ask them what we do right, what we could improve upon. They give us feedback and, together with them, that’s where we see better results,” Jeff continued. The campuses have made a commitment to deliver on the results of the survey. At Charlestown, the fitness center with amenities will be expanded to 4,300 square feet, and the aquatics center will grow to nearly 6,000 square feet as part of the campus modernization underway. A new computer room will be opened in Charlestown Square. Both campuses have expanded the hours of operation for their fitness centers to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “This new generation of residents wants more freedom, wants more flexibility as to when they want to do things, and we try to adapt to that,” said Jeff. And if these communities can meet the demands of two fitness buffs, Oak Crest resident Michelle Caldwell and Charlestown resident John Strumsky, then they are clearly ahead of the curve in addressing the needs of a healthier population.

Co-founders of the US Running Streak Association (USRA), the Strumskys enjoy getting exercise through walking while meeting their fellow residents through different activities.

Michelle Caldwell A native of Baltimore, Michelle’s path to Oak Crest was an interesting one. In 2002, Michelle’s parents had moved to the community. “At first my Dad did not want to move, so they had an application in for a few years and finally Dad agreed to make the move,” she said. “Once he got here, he quickly made the transition.” Visiting her parents regularly, Michelle quickly felt like a part of the community, “I became very familiar with many of the residents and staff and I fell in love with Oak Crest,” she said. “Everyone embraced me as well as my parents.” She recalled one example in which she went to pick up a meal in the café for her mom and did not return for 45

days a week at 8:00 a.m. sharp, and she’s just a pleasure to have around,” said Temica. “The fact that she really makes fitness a priority is something that both the employees and residents really look up to.” While she maintains a healthy lifestyle, Michelle is especially appreciative of the security she has at Oak Crest, whether it is regarding her physical safety walking at night or knowing she has access to different levels of care, including assisted living and nursing, should she need it in the future.

With the security of knowing healthcare services are available onsite, Michelle Caldwell is dedicated to her workout regimen, never missing a session with personal trainer Temica Carter.

minutes having started conversations with residents. When her mother passed away, Michelle began working on closing her parents’ affairs. She inquired about the minimum age requirement to live at Oak Crest “They said 60 and at that time I was 59-1/2, so that day I was able to put in an application and reserve my parents’ apartment,” she said with a smile. “I was able to move in for my 60th birthday. I think I had the distinction then of being the youngest resident.” Since moving to the community, Michelle said she has been “going non-stop.” This is not hard to believe with her extensive list of activities ranging from Bible study to volunteering at the resident-run TV station. As a result, she has formed many friendships. “There is such a wealth of sharing that many of the residents actually want to do,” she said. It is Oak Crest’s ability to support her commitment to health and fitness, however, that really makes her happy. Working with Temica Carter, a wellness manager and personal trainer at the community, Michelle never misses a session. “She’s an inspiration to everyone here. She is here three

Dawn and John Strumsky “I am very competitive with myself,” said Charlestown resident John Strumsky with a smile. The former Marine has not only pushed himself to new limits in fitness, but he has inspired others. In 2000, John and his wife Dawn co-founded the US Running Streak Association (USRSA) whose members strive to run at least one continuous mile within each day. Membership in the organization is open to those running every day for one year, however, there are members that have run every day for multiple years including John. It was an injury that forced John to end his multi-year running streak, and that played a role in the couple’s decision to move to Charlestown. Dawn had a friend that lived at the community who she had visited several times. “I thought the community was wonderful,” she said. “Since we didn’t have family nearby, it could provide us with security for the future.” Hesitant at first, John eventually saw how important the transition was for his wife and presented Dawn with his signature for her birthday. Now that the couple has settled into their new home, he has found the community offers more than enough outlets for his highly active and competitive nature. Although he was a regular visitor to the fitness center, he has shifted his focus to the Walking Challenge, a competition between Erickson Living residents and staff throughout the nation. “He literally walks day and night,” said Dawn. “When we lived in our old neighborhood I was always nervous when John would go on an early morning run and now I have no worries.” John also enjoyed the fact that the pathways are well lit, and in the event there is bad weather, there are miles of climate-controlled walkways throughout the campus that can be used without stepping outside. Overall the Strumskys described their life at Charlestown as “living large.” Their home offers them so many amenities, clubs and dining options that they have carefully budgeted their time. While the fitness, amenities and security are great benefits to living in Charlestown, the couple said that the feeling of connectedness to their neighbors is what

makes it truly special. Dawn tearfully recounted when their beloved dog, Twinkie passed away. Although saddened by the loss of their ‘family member,’ she was amazed at the outpour of support she received from her new neighbors. Reflecting on his initial “foot dragging” when making the move, John said, “I should have at least been more open to it. You develop a mind set about things that you haven’t experienced. And then when you experience them, you realize that the experience, the reality, is so different from what your personal perceptions were and you could be so off-base with something—and that’s what happened with me. I couldn’t be happier with where we live and the opportunities it has created for us now and in the future.” Communities Prepared for the Future “We’re seeing more and more residents like the Strumskys and Ms. Caldwell who come in and are really engaged in health and wellness activities,” said Jeff. “When you see people like them, you’re motivated by what they do. They inspire me personally, because it shows that, at any age, these health and wellness activities can really make a difference.”

Like Michelle, the Strumskys have access to a fitness center that has expanded over the years and is continually changing based on the needs of this health-conscious generation.

Making Deep and Purposeful Connections Amenities and activities go beyond entertainment to become a foundation for caring and meaningful relationships.

“W

e saw that Collington offered us the one thing that was more important to us and that was a group of people we wanted to live with,” said Grant Bagley, a resident of the Continuing Care Retirement Community located in Mitchellville. “We’ve made close friendships in a short period of time and they are of a depth and quality that I would not have predicted to be possible.” A Utah native, Grant shared with a smile how he chose skiing over studies and dropped out of high school. A quick search on Google, however, reveals that Grant has an impressive career path ranging from engineering to medicine and law. It is the varied backgrounds of residents like Grant that continue to draw individuals to the expansive 125-acre campus that offers many unique amenities and activities. Grant is an example of how resident interests can be a connector for deep friendships. One of the many gathering places on campus is an expansive woodshop, which at first might appear to be a disorganized building where a few residents work on projects and crafts. The activities in this shop, however, go way beyond personal projects as residents use this venue to fix furniture and antiques for their peers. “We don’t charge for the service, but we get donations which help us replenish the woodshop,” said Grant. Here, the shop’s treasurer, Bill Cosgrove, shares his techniques for fixing electrical items while another resident leads a knife-sharpening workshop. The venue also contains pool tables, model trains and space for residents to work on a treasured community tradition: model sailboats. Collington has a 6-acre lake where the entire community rallies for an annual regatta featuring the radio-controlled sailboats replicated after Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks. Another newly added feature is the fully functional Amateur (HAM) radio station, which is a lifelong passion Grant initially thought he would have to give up. Shortly after moving, however, he collaborated with a group of residents to create a station, further demonstrating the culture at Collington in which residents are highly involved in the direction of activities. According to Grant, the station will eventually become an integral part of the emergency communication system for the entire county. While he and his peers enjoy countless amenities like the

shop, tennis courts, gardens, swimming pool and fitness center at Collington, they are also drawn to the fact that they have access to a range of healthcare services, from independent living to nursing and rehabilitation, should their needs change. The HAM radio has proven to be an essential part of helping residents across the community stay connected. Grant recently started working with a nursing care resident who was worried about feeling isolated due to his health issues. He has been helping the resident renew his HAM license that expired in the 1930s and told him, “You will have all the people you want to talk to.” Grant’s enthusiastic approach to a sense of community is shared by all the residents and staff. Regardless of age or health, he has emphasized to his son and others how everyone is his friend and that despite what may happen to him, he knows he will be cared for at Collington. With these friendships and support, Grant and his wife could not be more thrilled with the choice they made for their future. Even their son during a recent two-day visit, said of his mother, “I’ve never seen her so happy.”

realism and detail you would think you are looking at photographs. As a student at the Maryland Art Institute, Mr. Payne had primarily used pastels and charcoals as an artist. After considering a suggestion from a friend to try watercolors, he can still recall fondly how he had walked into a bookstore and started reading about the medium he had never used. He left the store with two books that day, which served as springboards to developing a talent that he has enjoyed for a lifetime. Mr. Payne is often on hand when visitors admire his art on display in a small gallery at the Presbyterian Home. When asked about a piece of art, he can relay with amazing detail the location and facts about the subject matter. “Mr. Payne is a beloved resident here,” said Suzanne Shabe, lifestyle coordinator at the community. “I have fond memories of painting places all throughout Baltimore,” said Mr. Payne. “I especially loved painting in the city, and the Baltimore Harbor is one of my favorite places.” Mr. Payne has not only captured Maryland history in his watercolors, but his storytelling about the locations and people he has painted fascinate visitors, friends and the staff at the Presbyterian Home. “Some of the local historic places he has featured in his watercolors are gone, so we have the legacy through his paintings to see what we used to have in the area,” said President and CEO of the Presbyterian Home, Susan Shea. Painting is not Mr. Payne’s only talent, however. He also happens to be a champion table tennis player. Thanks to the individualized attention the staff has given to their residents, Mr. Payne is still able to enjoy his favorite pastime. “We purchased a table tennis table when Mr. Payne moved in,” said Mrs. Shea. “Now, Mr. Payne enjoys a weekly table tennis game with friends and neighbors.” With his many unique pastimes, Mr. Payne is just one example of the diversity of residents at the Presbyterian Home who ultimately contribute to its dynamic environment. While the community provides assisted living, 24-hour nursing and respite care, the staff embraces a philosophy of really getting to know each of their residents and creating an individual program that goes beyond this care and the activities. An industry-leading staff-to-resident ratio helps make this possible for Mr. Payne and his peers.

“I have a process that I go through to really get to know each resident,” said Mrs. Shabe. “Our philosophy is all about maintaining and improving their quality of life. We look at what their social, spiritual, emotional and intellectual interests are. We take all of these into account and make sure that we offer activities and connections that will enable them to thrive.” Commitment to the Community Originally known as the Presbyterian Home of Baltimore, the community opened its doors on Calvert Street in downtown Baltimore in 1884. In 1920 the name of the residence was changed, and in 1929 it was moved to its current location, the Offutt Estate, a large and gracious home in Towson. Over the course of time numerous changes have been made to the original dwelling. The construction of additional wings has allowed the community to expand its population and add a wellness area, including an activity center and physician’s suite. These renovations have allowed Presbyterian Home to provide up-to-date accommodations and services within its gracious environment. Today the community sits amidst mature trees, flowering shrubs and beautifully landscaped grounds. A walking path with conveniently placed benches meanders beside a low stone wall on the edge of the property and sitting porches grace the facade of the building. Residents enjoy both the charming outdoor surroundings and the many welcoming and comfortable areas within the building itself. In addition, the surrounding neighborhood offers a vast array of social, cultural, educational and recreational opportunities to satisfy even the most active residents. Mrs. Shea and the Board of Directors of the Presbyterian Home are committed to delivering exceptional care and hon-

oring the rich history of the community. “We are committed to delivering the highest quality of care possible,” said Mrs. Shea. That commitment of the staff also extends to the relationships they share with the families of their residents. Since most of Mr. Payne’s family lives in California, an open dialogue and communication is paramount for everyone to have peace of mind. Having found a home that provides this security while embracing his different talents, Mr. Payne could not be happier. “I can’t imagine living anywhere else,” he said with a smile.

True Companions These four women are enjoying the perks of living in pet-friendly communities. By Lauren Searson

egardless of age, the joy a pet can bring to one’s life is undeniable. While research over the years has shown that pets can provide certain health benefits, such as reducing anxiety, their most important gift is that of companionship. Just ask Dolores Saynuk, Libby Anderson, Alice Cowger and Velma Keck. As residents of Brightview Senior Living communities, they are already relishing the vibrant environments, various amenities and security of healthcare services found at their respective homes. And thanks to their accommodating staffs, they get to enjoy the extra perk of having a furry friend. Carlie At Brightview Avondell in Bel Air, Dolores Saynuk and Libby Anderson are among the many residents in love with the community’s ‘mascot,’ Carlie the dog. “She spends time with the residents; she’ll go up to their apartments and stay with them if they need a pick-me-up or hug,” said Community Sales Associate, Donna Panzer. Carlie was originally bought by a resident named Linda,

Good friends of Carlie’s previous owner, Libby Anderson and Dolores Saynuk of Avondell are often referred to as her “grandmothers” as they love taking her on walks and giving her treats.

who suddenly became sick and had asked the executive director, Eileen to ensure the dog would have a good home. Since stepping in to care for Carlie, Eileen has brought her to the community every day. “I love that Carlie brings me lots of love and fun. She lies on my bed, snuggled up in my blankets and comes to me for treats,” said Dolores. Libby, who often takes Carlie on walks, could not be happier that Avondell allows pets, knowing the impact they have had on her. “I find that having a pet to love and talk to can bring me out of an anxiety attack or being down in the dumps,” she said. “Carlie can make me smile and get over that real quick.” Libby’s smile is not the only one seen throughout Avondell, as she and Dolores agree that pets aside, their community provides a warm and welcoming environment. Offering independent and assisted living services, the community boasts a range of activities and events, from happy hours to fitness classes. “I love everybody here and we have so much to do,” said Libby. “When I go out, I look forward to coming back here. I always have a good time with friends and the staff and it’s just a fabulous place to be, really and truly.” Maggie When Alice Cowger moved to Baltimore in 1945, she immediately felt at home. Now, she has that same feeling living at Brightview Mays Chapel Ridge, an independent and assisted living community in Timonium that also offers awardwinning Alzheimer’s care. “I came here quite by accident. I was driving by one day with a girlfriend and wanted to see what it was all about,” she said. After meeting with the director, Alice revisited the community with her son who fully supported the idea knowing she would be free of the worries of maintaining her apartment and able to stay in the immediate area. A year after moving to Mays Chapel Ridge, the greatgrandmother of seven inquired about bringing a cat to the community. Delighted to find out she could, she adopted Maggie from the SPCA. “They were so nice about letting me have her here,” said Alice. “Now, residents look at Maggie and talk about how they would like to have a pet.” With her companion who is always there to greet her, Alice never feels alone, but she would have to say the camaraderie

Aside from being able to have her cat, Maggie, Alice Cowger has enjoyed getting to know her fellow residents and staff and has never thought twice about her move to Mays Chapel Ridge.

among residents and staff has also contributed to the feeling of ‘home’ at Mays Chapel Ridge. If she needs to leave for a few days, she knows the residents or staff will gladly feed and take care of Maggie. “I never looked back or was sorry I moved. This is a great place to live, all the people are so congenial and I would recommend it to anybody,” she said. “I can’t think of a place that would be better for me and Maggie.” Ben (“Benny”) While Libby, Dolores and Alice had pets come into their lives after moving to their communities, it was the fact that she could bring her dog, Benny, to Brightview Westminster Ridge that strongly appealed to Velma Keck when she had been researching options. Having lived in Maryland most of her life, the mother of three moved with her husband to Rehoboth for a few years. When he passed away, Velma’s daughter convinced her to move back. While living in a condo, however, she had a couple of falling incidents and knew it was time to look into a community that could offer her security for the future. It was extremely important for Velma, however, to find a home that would welcome her dog, Benny, who she had adopted from the SPCA when he was just four months. “I love him dearly and I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to him,” she said. “He’s my little buddy.” Fortunately, Westminster Ridge, a community that provides independent, assisted and Alzheimer’s care is well-known for

Drawn to Westminster Ridge for its acceptance of pets, Velma Keck loves being able to take her pet, Benny, to the community’s dog park and letting him be the topic of conversation.

welcoming pets. “We were actually one of the first communities in Carroll County to have a dog park,” said Karen Holstein, community sales director. “Our residents who have pets, as well as those who don’t, love the fact that the entire community embraces our pet-friendly philosophy.” With the amenities at Westminster Ridge and other Brightview communities, including housekeeping, laundry services and chef-prepared meals, Velma enjoys having the time to take Benny to the park and introducing him to fellow residents. “I love everybody I’ve met here,” said Velma. “It’s great being around people my age and in the same boat.” An Added Bonus With an abundance of fun activities, supportive staffs and freedom from home maintenance, it is clear these four women could not be happier with the communities they have chosen, and that the ability to have the companionship of a pet is just the ‘cherry on top.’ As Donna from Avondell said with a smile, “Pets in general are wonderful. They give compassion, unconditional love and they don’t talk back.”

understand hearing loss how the ear functions and the forms of hearing loss Hearing is one of our most basic senses. It is vital to communication. It helps us to remain in contact with family and friends via the telephone and in-person conversations. Hearing also offers protection from dangerous situations, allowing us to heed a siren or respond to a verbal warning. Individuals with hearing loss often believe that hearing aids cannot help their situation because of misinformation and misconceptions about the devices, leading them to think their situation is hopeless, but this could not be further from the truth! The human ear is comprised of three distinct parts: the outer ear; the middle ear, which contains the eardrum and three tiny bones that conduct sound; and the cochlea or inner ear. Hearing is a highly complex process that involves the middle ear and the cochlea, as well as the auditory nerve and the brain. When

sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and strike the eardrum. The vibrations of the eardrum sends the waves through the cochlea, where thousands of tiny sensory cells generate electrical impulses. These impulses send sound messages up the auditory nerve to the brain, which interprets them as sound. Every case of hearing loss is unique, but all hearing problems can be categorized as either conductive hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss affects the outer or middle ear and is often caused by a buildup of wax or fluid, a punctuated eardrum, or abnormal bone growth. This type of loss can be corrected through medical treatment or by surgical procedure. Sensorineural hearing loss accounts for over 90% of all hearing losses and is characterized by the deterioration of

the delicate sensory cells in the cochlea. The aging process, prolonged exposure to loud noises, infections, head injuries, and certain medications can all cause this type of hearing loss. There is no cure for sensorineural hearing loss, but hearing aids are generally effective in helping individuals to experience improved hearing. The common misconception that “nerve deafness” or sensorineural hearing loss cannot be treated with hearing aids is simply not true given the advanced technology of today’s hearing aids. A hearing aid works as a personal amplification system. When sound enters the hearing aid through a microphone, a tiny amplifier makes the sound louder. The amplified sound travels through the ear canal and causes increased stimulation in the middle ear and the cochlea. This increased stimulation makes sounds clearer and easier to understand.

medical house calls

a guide for patients and families for evaluating physicians by Eric Baron, MD

F

or every individual in a nursing home, there are three more people equally fragile and infirm living at home, according to the American Academy of Home Care Physicians (AAHCP). Physicians and medical groups specializing in house calls have become increasingly available to such patients. This growth in Medicare benefits was a result of four years of volunteer effort led by the AAHCP, which, since 1988, has served the needs of thousands of physicians and related professionals as well as those agencies interested in improving the care of patients remaining in their homes. If you are unable to visit your own physician, house call physicians who come to your home can provide consultations to your doctor or serve as your private doctor. Because of changes in medical technology, a physician can come to your home with portable medical equipment and provide high-quality medical care. A higher quality of medical care results from good physicians who are wellsupervised. With this article, you can evaluate those physicians specializing in house calls so that you will be able to get the best physician possible to visit your home. To protect yourself and your family, it is vital to learn how to recognize

If you are unable to visit your own physician, house call physicians who come to your home can provide consultations to your doctor or serve as your private doctor.

poorly-supervised medical groups. The following questions are important to ask any physician offering to come to your home: • Is the physician who owns your medical group present every day at the local facility? • Do you have a medical director and, if so, is the medical director present every day? • Are you board-certified? If the physician answers “no” to any of these questions, you should consider calling your local Area Agency on Aging before letting the physician into your home.

How to Recognize High-Quality House Call Medical Groups High-quality medical groups performing house calls display thoughtfulness 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. The primary motive for these individuals is quality patient care. 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?” A physician-owner presence is also key when it comes to recognizing highstandard 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 American Academy of Home Care Physicians. Not only must the house call physician be a current member of the AAHCP, but he/she should follow the AAHCP’s “Principles of Medical Ethics. Article Reprinted with the Permission of the AAHCP.

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

A

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

als, which are affordable and reliable. For additional general information about personal response systems, consumers should consult the Federal Trade Commission’s report entitled “Personal Emergency Response Systems.” 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 FTC’s website. Visit www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/services/pers. htm to view a complete copy of the report.

Therefore, understanding the needs of these groups and those issues affecting them has never been more important. What some may not realize, however, is that various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families. Johns Hopkins University is one such school reaching out to professionals with its Odyssey Certificate on Aging. The offered core and elective courses have been constructed with a broad range of disciplines in mind and are especially relevant to caregivers, clergy, financial planners, lawyers, nurses, social workers, volunteers and work/life planners. However, admission to individual courses is open to any interested adult. Students receive the Certificate on Aging upon completing four required courses, four electives and a capstone project that allows them to delve into a topic of their choice with the supervision of a faculty adviser. Examples of

required courses include ‘Public and Private Programs for the Elderly’ and ‘Biological Aspects of Aging,’ while electives vary with ‘Aging, Nutrition and Fitness;’ ‘Counseling, Case Management and Older Adults’ and ‘Death, Grief and End-of-Life Planning.’ Designed to address the ethical, financial, legal, medical and psychological issues facing the fastest growing population in the U.S., Odyssey and similar programs allow these professionals to better serve the seniors they care for on a daily basis. Like JHU, McDaniel College features programs in Gerontology through The Center for the Study of Aging (CSA). Here, required courses and electives from 12 departments and programs are offered including social work, communication, exercise science and physical education, biology and religion. The Erickson School of Aging Studies is another program that strives to educate leaders with the goal of improving society for older adults. Focusing on Aging, Management and Policy, the program enables students to immerse themselves in several disciplines with an active learning environment.

Various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families.

The Odyssey Certificate on Aging and similar programs are helping professionals improve the lives of older adults one class at a time. Through active learning environments, professionals in the field are gaining a greater understanding of the implications facing today’s Boomers, ultimately helping them to enhance society for this growing group.

The Certificate on Aging at Johns Hopkins University

The Johns Hopkins Certificate on Aging is designed to meet the needs of those who serve aging adults and their families. Instructors teach a well-rounded curriculum suited for financial planners, nurses, lawyers, social workers, clergy, caregivers, volunteers, work/life planners and more. The Certificate on Aging: Âť Affordable Âť Exceptional faculty Âť Flexible, evening classes

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 client’s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision as to 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 “D-

Day” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, 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).

utilize real estate transactions

transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices

F

or those who have been in their homes for several years, relocating presents challenges far beyond the physical demands of carrying boxes and arranging furniture. These individuals may also face difficult emotional and financial decisions during the moving process. Preparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving, and setting up the new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing. Step One: Preparing to sell or buy It is important that homeowners select a real estate agent who can meet their distinctive needs. The emergence of specialized real estate designations has made the process of choosing an agent easier. Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES) are licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. After finding a qualified agent, homeowners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a

HOW TO

obtain legal advice

elder law attorneys cater to your legal needs

S

ince living decisions are becoming increasingly complex, many people find themselves searching for someone who can cater to their specific legal needs. Making sure that you have the right professional for the job at hand is the first and one of the most important tasks that you have in getting any job done the right way. When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney make take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence.

What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally 6/3/05 12:15 PM Page 1 focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the sometimes difficult decisions involved in one’s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients

it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there non-legal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? In order to pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you need to know all of your own issues. If you aren’t familiar with your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else. Know your own financial limitations and the financial benefits of engaging the services of a specific attorney. In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably don’t need an expensive package. Be a smart consumer.

Elder law attorneys lend their expertise on estate planning, pensions, long-term care planning, age discrimination and wills.

to other professional and/or non-legal resources that are available to help meet their needs. Do I Need an Elder Law attorney? Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is

Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there are attorneys that will occasionally take on pro-bono cases, or will work on a contingency fee. Local law schools are good places to check for assistance as many students will help low-income or disabled individuals to practice their skills.

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?

managing your estate

An executor is the person or corporate fiduciary (trust company) that is appointed under your will to manage your estate after you die. The executor will offer your will to the court for probate; marshal your assets; file an inventory of your assets with the court; pay all debts, expenses of administration, and taxes; and sell any property that must be sold to put the estate in a position to be closed. The executor will petition the court to make an order to distribute your estate. During the probate of your estate, the

executor has the duty to account for the financial transactions of the estate and to keep the court and the beneficiaries informed as to the progress of the estate administration. After the court issues the order for distribution, the executor will distribute your estate pursuant to the terms of the order that incorporates the asset disposition provisions of your will. A will does not have to nominate an executor to be valid. However, nomination in your will of the executor permits you to select the executor and to deter-

mine whether the executor should be bonded or not. Carefully select your executor. A good executor will make the difference between an estate that is handled efficiently and expeditiously versus an estate that will get mired in eventual litigation and losses.

HOW TO

prepare legal documents

advance directives that put your affairs in order

A

dvance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury. Finding An Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address the legal nuances, personal preferences, and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals, or friends disagree with them.

When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed.

Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily

parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink, or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability. For more information about elder law attorneys and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, visit www.naela.org.

HOW TO

discuss billing methods

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

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

HOW TO

ensure a positive relationship with an attorney

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

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

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

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

or adult children, the passing of a parent is not only emotionally trying, but it presents the stress as to how the surviving parent will manage in the years that follow. When her father died in June 2008, Betsy offered support to her mother, Judy, who insisted she was fine. Two years later, however, she had surgery on her foot and was eventually transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. Betsy, with children of her own, became worried not only about her mother’s health but her empty house and the incoming bills to be paid. She was unsure whether Judy could cover her hospital expenses nor did she know where she kept her important documents.

Fortunately, Betsy’s husband had a friend who knew Mary Helen Dennis, an estate organizer and daily money manager with the company, InfoDoc, Inc. In December 2010, Mary Helen started digging into the piles of paper in Judy’s home and managed to find several un-cashed checks totaling $10,000, unpaid bills and tax returns that had not been done since Judy’s husband had passed. Additionally, Judy had not cashed his life insurance policies and stopped filing for his Social Security as a result of not being able to find their marriage license. On her third day sifting through paperwork, Mary Helen came across an invoice from an attorney dated 2000 listing all the documents that had been drawn up for the couple. After calling the attorney, Betsy and Mary Helen were able to locate

How Do I Find a DMM? Your local Area Agency on Aging and the American Association of Daily Money Managers (www.aadmm.com) can 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 and 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. the will, trust, power of attorney and living wills along with a letter written by Betsy’s father explaining what they had done and why, which she and her brother, Ty, had never seen before. With the continued help of their daily money manager, the family has organized their important documents, paid bills regularly, filed insurance policy claims and taken care of the tax returns. Mary Helen also helped Judy move into an apartment and connected the family to appraisers and real estate agents to take care of the family home and possessions. “Mary Helen is the cure for inertia,” said Ty. “She sifted the important documents and led us, step by step, through the process. Instead of stressing over paperwork, we’ve been able to focus on mom at a time when she needs us most.”

create a basic balance sheet. In one column, list the value of their assets, such as their home, stocks, mutual funds, CDs, and retirement accounts. In another column, put down their liabilities, such as outstanding mortgage or car loan balances. Then, do a cash flow statement. List the monthly income from each of their investments, including reinvested dividends and capital gains, as well as any pension income and Social Security

HOW TO

find care management

W

those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it.

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

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, the GCM spends a few more hours researching and discussing available options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan. 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 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. Follow-up visits also allow the GCM to determine whether the current care services are working. How do I choose a GCM? When considering a GCM, be sure to 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 has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as referrals for GCMs can be accessed through www.caremanager.org.

Aging is just one more transition in life. Help is available if you know where and how to find it. We consult with Seniors and their families to understand their desires and needs. Then -we create a care plan that builds on the existing support system, adds outside expertise and enables our client to live the life she or he desires.

ften times, care managers go beyond providing professional guidance and become a personal support system and friend for their clients. This was the case for Samantha Edwards, who faced a life-changing decision when a fall in 2010 caused her active father, a retired astronomer, to become a C5 Quadriplegic. Knowing he would want to remain in Montgomery County, his home of 40 years, Samantha and her brother began looking at local long-term care facilities for their father. Due to his condition and a stage four wound he received from his hospital stay, however, they found themselves disappointed at the limited number of facilities that could or wanted to take care of him. Despite finding a short-term care residence, they quickly realized their father was not receiving the care he needed and that Medicare would not pay for the special bed he required or a motorized wheelchair. Having just recently moved in with her

fiancé and his three children, Samantha was especially stressed by the full life she had to juggle. “I was at a dead-end and did not know what to do,” she said. Using a list of healthcare managers she received from the hospital social worker, she decided to call Jill Rosner of Rosner Healthcare Navigation, who was conveniently located in Samantha’s neighborhood.

“She was a breath of fresh air; finally, someone who cared and knew how to work the system,” said Samantha. Within just nine days, Jill had set up interviews for Samantha with home care aides, nurses and doctors while arranging for a contractor to make modifications to Samantha’s home. She also connected Samantha with an equipment company that provided everything she needed for her father. “She was constantly there to give me advice and navigate me through this new process,” said Samantha. “She also added that personal touch making sure I was taking care of my new family and myself.” When Samantha’s father became ill four months later, Jill offered emotional support during his last days, helping place him in a hospice and acting as his medical advocate. “Those months were the most rewarding time of my life and this was the best decision,” said Samantha. “Jill is a guiding angel and friend, a combination that is lacking in the health care industry today.”

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

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

HOW TO

stay surrounded with activity

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

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

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

HOW TO

receive care for life

continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs

C

ontinuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are an ideal option for those seeking an independent lifestyle with the knowledge that any future health needs will be met. With this security, individuals have the ability to age in place comfortably without the concern of making another transition. What are CCRCs? These communities offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life, depending on the extent of their health. 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 and take advantage of the ample amenities.

How Do I Pay For a CCRC? In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. There are three basic types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities. While emergency and short-term nursing care is usually includ-

ed in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily nursing care rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower under this type of contract because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. It is highly advisable to have an attorney review a CCRC contract before any commitment is made. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services such as meals, housekeeping and special care that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. What to Look For in a CCRC Request an information packet and visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life and keep notes while assessing the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. It is recommended you visit at least three to get a good grasp on your priorities. Advice on evaluating a CCRC is offered in The Continuing Care Retirement Community: A Guidebook for Consumers. To order, call LeadingAge Publications at 800-508-9442.

hoever said that you get to slow down when you retire certainly did not know Reverend Ellwood Ulmer. Reverend Ulmer has such an extensive social calendar, it is exhausting just trying to keep up with him for a day. Although he “retired� years ago, Reverend Ulmer has since served five times as an interim Pastor while working as the Interim Director of Inner Harbor Ministry of Baltimore and giving gracious amounts of his time to the Feeding Ministry at St. Paul’s Evangelical of Curtis Bay. In Reverend Ulmer’s “spare time� he may tie up to 1,000 balloons as a clown for Delaware Baptist Raceway Ministry, Dover Downs or as chief clown for Tall Cedars. Reverend Ulmer was often away from home, and began to worry about his wife and her well-being. He wanted the peace of mind, knowing that she was in a place where she could be taken care

Ready for a break from home maintenance, Reverend Ellwood Ulmer decided to move to a continuing care community where he knew that his wife would be taken care of and he would have peace of mind.

of and where there would be help if she needed it. Also, he was ready for a break from the cooking, cleaning, laundry and

home maintenance for which he was still responsible. Previously Chaplain of the Maryland Masonic Homes, and an extremely active Mason, Bonnie Blink was his first and only choice. “I have visited and observed many facilities in my line of work,� he says. “But none come close. Maryland Masonic Homes is #1 as far as I’m concerned.� As luck would have it, an apartment was available which suited their needs, and with an affordable entrance fee, they were able to move in even before their house was sold. Now Reverend Ulmer’s only regret is not having enough time to get involved with all of the activities available at the Homes. He would love to participate in the computer classes, walking club and exercise group but there is not enough time to do it all. When he has time to reflect, he will tell you that, “The friendly, loving, family atmosphere and the quality of healthcare at the Masonic Homes are second to none.�

HOW TO

understand entrance fees

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

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

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

At Cross Keys, you’re surrounded by everything, including a very special money-saving offer.

Located on a beautiful, rolling campus in New Oxford, Pennsylania, our continuing care retirement community offers multiple dining venues, a state-of-the-art wellness center, lifelong learning programs and spacious residences. And, it’s located in the middle of it all: history, arts, culture, great shopping, and only an hour from Baltimore and 90 minutes from D.C. Ask about our limited opportunity to reserve a new Harmony Ridge West apartment with very special incentives that can save you over $40,000. Call us today to schedule an appointment and to learn more at (888) 624-8242.

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. Create 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. G et 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.

6. Keep a routine: Trying (whenever possible) to keep the same routine established at home will help you stay connected to familiar people and places.

7. Get involved: Once the resident settles into the new housing, the fun can begin. “Look for ways to get involved,” says Ritter. “That’s a great way to meet other residents, and to start feeling like you’re part of a community. Very likely, you will find there are others who share your interests.”.

8. R emain positive: Throughout the entire process, a positive attitude is essential. “Life at a community will be what you make of it, so keeping positive thoughts and an open mind goes a long way,” notes Ritter. “Amenities and housing options aside, what’s most important is that it IS a community. There’s always someone available if you want to enjoy some fun or simply need a lift. You can be alone if you prefer, but you never have to feel alone.” 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

HOW TO

live independently

communities offer security with no home maintenance Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium, or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings. Some communities

also have tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. Most offer a variety of meal plans with the option to prepare meals in your apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services but some 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. Paying for Independent Living 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 communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. To learn more 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. 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.

O

ver a period of many years friends of Ed Keats and his late wife invited them to dinner at various retirement communities in the Baltimore area. Both of them agreed that Brightwood was unquestionably the top of all such places. They recognized its cost as being above that charged by many lesser competitors although comparable with others offering not quite as much. They told their children and grandchildren that if they were ever to decide to leave the condominium where they lived they would move to Brightwood. Even after Mrs. Keats died her widowed husband held on to his condominium apartment. After he attended his Seventy-Fifth Reunion and found only three other classmates present, all of them confined to wheelchairs pushed by family members he interpreted the scene as depicting the inevitability of his own aging. It affected him to the extent of

After his wife’s passing, retired Rear Admiral Ed Keats was still determined to move to the community they had chosen years before.

his recognizing his need to live where he would have services to an magnitude not available at any condominium. Even though he is still enjoying excellent health and vigor

he promptly reacted. Within a month he purchased a unit at the community, which calls itself “Brightwood Club,” eschewing the word “retirement.” Now, after just a year’s residence, he desires to tell the readers of “SourceBook” of his happiness. He says the staff treats the residents as though they were their grandparents. The gated community has twenty-four hour roving security provided by experienced men and has Registered Nurses to attend to day-to-day medical concerns. All of the rooms are spacious, all the views are unobstructed outside, the weekly cleaning and flat laundry service is thorough. Best of all, the beautiful dining room provides “four star” dinner meals with at least three choices of soups, salads, entrées, vegetables and desserts. Unique to Baltimore, all residents own their units outright. Thus they, through an elected board, instead of a developer or outside investor, make the policy decisions for the community.

HOW TO

interview for senior housing

understanding the process

I

participated in almost 700 interviews, all the same, yet all different. I would meet with the elder first and answer his questions. I would find out where he was currently living and why he wanted to move. Then the family members joined us. I would answer more questions, discuss the entrance requirements, and go through the activity calendar. I would then ask for the required documents. I also read aloud a document to them, to prevent any misunderstanding, about what we had done that day and what the next steps were. I then took the whole group on a tour of an apartment and the common areas. I made sure to introduce the applicant by name to all residents and staff who passed by us on the tour. For some senior buildings, the procedure is to have you fill out an application and return it to the staff before you come for the interview. For some places, you have to pay to be on the waiting list. You should understand what each building requires.

HOW TO

F

or individuals who need some assistance with daily activities, assisted living communities are an important option. The living environments and amenities offered by communities vary widely; however, all communities provide residents with some level of daily assistance, which generally includes meal and housekeeping services. What is Assisted Living? Assisted Living communities offer housing and a variety of supportive services delivered by qualified staff members. As opposed to independent living communities, health care services are available at assisted living communities. The Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) notes that assisted living is “a unique transition from independent living without care” that “helps seniors enjoy an improved quality of life with independence and care combined.” Community amenities vary widely but can include private units, state-ofthe-art facilities, beautifully decorated common areas, barber shops and beauty parlors, pharmacies, physical therapy services, recreation rooms, libraries, gardening areas, and fitness centers. Consumers will quickly find that assisted living communities, also commonly called residential care facilities or personal care homes, come in a variety

Residents of assisted living usually include anyone who needs some help with the activities of daily life. This includes eating, bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, medication management, and walking. Survey data from the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) reports that 81 percent of assisted living residents need assistance with one or more of the activities of daily living. Most communities offer three meals a day served in a common dining area. Many also offer some type of assistance with transportation. Housekeeping and laundry services are standard offerings. Staff members are available to meet resident needs 24 hours a day. Most commu-

Choosing a Community It is a good idea to carefully review several of the available options. First and foremost, consider the needs and desires of the potential resident. Begin the initial process of narrowing the search by reviewing a list of all the local communities.

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

4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman who are advocates for assisted living and nursing home residents.

7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility.

8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate or move to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee? Ask what are additional charges for services/products?

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

Assisted Living

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

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

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

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

For more information, contact the Maryland Department of Aging at 1-800-243-3425

HOW TO

pay for assisted living

know your options paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The NCAL reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.� Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those that are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs.

Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.

Area Agencies on Aging can provide information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs for assisted living care.

Assisted Living

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 would benefit most from living. Often, the family of the senior automatically assumes that they need to be moved to an assisted living. Gaining an awareness of how to effectively make the right choice is important. How do you choose? What affects your choices? Ability to perform all of our activities of daily living? Cost of active living, assistive living centers versus living in your own home with help? Is your home accessible? If not can it be made accessible with simple changes?

Cost of moving versus making necessary changes that allow you to stay in your own home? Do you have family close by to help with activities of daily living if necessary? Are your county Area on Aging Services available to you at your income level? Do you have the ability to pay someone to perform the activities of daily living we cannot or choose to no longer perform? Do you prefer to stay close to your own doctors, church community, and friends? Are you able to drive or do you need a ride everywhere you go? Do you move closer to your children? Think about this decision in terms of will your adult children stay where they are once they retire. Do you have the money set aside to pay for assisted living and/or a nursing

Close to you.

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 such a time that they are no longer able to make those 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 both desire and need.

HOW TO

find residential living

a more close-knit way of life

A

ssisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well as they can enjoy participating in the preparation and serving of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ 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.

As with any community, it is important to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families. Be sure that you are given specific information about caregiver training, commu-

nity amenities and costs. For more information, a comprehensive guide to selecting a residence can be obtained through the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living at www.ccal.org.

Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment.

HOW TO

evaluate nursing care

specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance

W

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

What is Nursing Care? At a nursing home, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event. Who is Nursing Care For? These homes serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home or as temporary facilities during a recovery period. Some enter a nursing home for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness while others enter on a

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

of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints. Visit your prospects at different times of day. Talk with residents. Be persistent about getting your questions answered.

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

HOW TO

find long-term care assistance

an ombudsman can help with decisions An ombudsman assists consumers choosing long-term care providers by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints, Department of Health Licensure status, and the admissions process. Ombudsmen are essentially advocates who improve the quality of life for individuals receiving long-term care. Using the “Resident’s Bill of Rights” (see next page), an ombudsman can also inform consumers of their rights and long-term care providers of their responsibilities. Mutual respect and satisfaction is the goal.

lowing a thorough investigation, the ombudsman will work with you and the care provider to resolve your concern. They can do this through counseling, mediation, and formal complaint investigation. The counseling you receive is strictly confidential and can help you to become an advocate for yourself or a loved one. An ombudsman will listen to your complaint and then offer information and referrals via telephone, email, or in-person visit to a long-term care facility or continuing care community.

The ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He or she will gather facts and relevant information in order to determine whether the complaint is valid and appropriate action should be taken. If the complaint is verified or partially verified, then the ombudsman will work with the recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem so both parties are satisfied. If you have questions or complaints about a specific provider, please contact What is a Possible Outcome? your Area Agency on Aging in order to loWhat Does an Ombudsman Do? If the concern requires a formal inves- cate a local ombudsman.

HOW TO

protect your family’s assets

an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs

I

n 2010, more than 7,000 people turned 65 years old or older every single day, a figure that is predicted to rise in 2011. Further, an AARP survey revealed that only 4 in 10 of those people feel they will be financially secure for their golden years. For many, that lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of assisted living. That’s why Gabriel Heiser, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in nursing home law, believes that people should start planning now, even if they aren’t close to their 65th birthdays. “The average monthly cost of a nursing home today is $6,917 per month, and a typical Alzheimer’s patient will spend $395,000 for their nursing home care after diagnosis,” said Heiser, author of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (www.MedicaidSecrets.com). “Those costs are only going to rise, so it’s important to plan now. One important benefit to consider is Medicaid, which can help offset a good amount of those costs, but only if you know what it takes to qualify for those benefits.” The mistake a lot of people make is

thinking that they can’t qualify for Medicaid, according to Heiser. “Many feel that because they own a home or have some assets that they can’t qualify for Medicaid help with their nursing home and doctor’s bills,” he said. “The truth is there are a variety of assets people can own and still qualify. It’s just a matter of knowing the rules, and making a plan to meet those requirements.” Heiser listed the asset limits for those applying for Medicaid. They include: • Cash – You can possess $2,000 cash that will not be counted as an asset in determining your Medicaid eligibility. • Home – There is a $500,000 exclusion toward your home, meaning that if your home is valued at $500,000 or less at the time of your application, it is excluded as an asset. Some states use the higher permitted exemption of $750,000. • Car – Up until recently, you could exclude only one car at a value of $4,500 or less, however that law has been changed. Now, one automobile of ANY current market value is excluded on your application. • Funeral and Burial Funds – If you have a pre-planned funeral or memorial arrangement, the entire value of that plan is excluded. If you do not, a separate bank ac-

count that contains $1,500 toward funeral expenses can be excluded. If you have prepurchased burial plots, you can exclude not only the costs of the plot for the applicant, but for the entire family, and still be eligible for Medicaid. • Property – According to federal law, any real or personal property that is essential to self-support, regardless of value or rate of return, is excluded. That could include farms, rental properties and other real estate investments that generate income necessary for self-support. For rental income, however, the property must generate at least 6 percent of its value annually. • 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.” K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning, including trusts, estates, gifts, and related tax issues.

HOW TO

find hospice care

improving the quality of life remaining A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. How 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 possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or inpatient hospice residential settings.

on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer short-term inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites. For more information, see What Services are Provided? www.caringinfo.org or the information Hospice team members focus primarily on hospice care at www.cancer.org.

HOW TO

pay for hospice

for traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers, or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. NHPCO notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little outof-pocket expense.” In order to receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certify-

Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. In addition to Medicare’s coverage, services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers.

HOW TO

cope with a loss

understand your feelings and learn how to begin healing

A

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

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’ve had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel

that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment. 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.

Just because he has Alzheimer’s, doesn’t mean his days can’t be unforgettable. With our Homestead Special Care, we make every effort to fill each resident’s day with moments they’ll enjoy with fellow residents, family and friends. Our specially trained staff is focused on creating individualized plans and routines that build on each resident’s strengths. Residents are encouraged to participate in a variety of individual and group activities, from exercise, art, music and gardening, to small group field trips, summer barbeques and year-round ice cream socials. Our safe, secure environment and consistent staff helps create a stable family atmosphere. Make every day count for your loved one.

Services are based on an integrated, holistic approach, recognizing that mind and body — cognitive, emotional, and physical health — are interrelated. Impairments in one area such as the cognitive impairment of dementia, calls for extra effort to keep the emotional and physical aspects of an individual’s function strong and healthy. Vigilance is required to avoid “excess disability” — or unnecessary additional impairments — that can accompany dementia.

HOW TO

remain at home

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

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

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

ngland native Christine Aaron can often be heard sharing her stories from serving in World War II. The 88-yearold veteran, whose duties included helping distribute uniforms, refers to herself as a ‘bird’ in those years. Following her discharge due to a bout with pneumonia, she met an American whom she married and settled with in Towson, Md. They had three children as Christine pursued a career as a care worker. When her husband passed away, she proceeded to live with her daughter and sonin-law. A cancer survivor, Christine has severe arthritis and started requiring more assistance than her working loved ones could provide. She knew she wanted to remain at home as opposed to making the transition to a senior housing option, so she looked to outside resources for making this possible. With the help of a local veterans organization, she was referred to Linda

With the support she has received from caregiver Whitney Anderson (right), Christine Aaron can enjoy spending time with friends and taking care of her bird Ringo.

Christine receives home care for 20 hours during the workweek. In addition to offering assistance with daily activities, her primary caregiver, Whitney Anderson, provides Christine with her needed oxygen

and colostomy bag. Each day, Christine looks forward to the companionship and support she has found with Whitney. “They’ve been very good to us. My caregiver comes five days a week and she bathes me and cooks,” she said. She also maintains her connections with the veterans organization who also offer her assistance by providing wheelchairs, walkers and stairlifts. With all of the support she has received, she enjoys taking care of her bird Ringo, which she proudly named after the Beatle. She also spends her time getting together with friends from church. “I love being around people,” she said. “I belong to the Baptist church and we have all kinds of dinners.” Most importantly, however, Christine knows utilizing the services of a home care company has given her family peace of mind. “Options is wonderful,” she said. “They’ve always been there to send someone to help me. They have been very good and have never let me down.”

HOW TO

pay for home care

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

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

fter different careers in public service, Baltimore City resident Bessye Clay eventually found herself needing a helping hand. In June 2010, the North Carolina native, known to her family and friends as ‘Miss Bessye,’ had undergone back surgery. Desiring to return home, it was clear Miss Bessye would need the assistance of a home health care agency when she was discharged from the hospital. “I didn’t have any problems with the hospital,” she said. “But I’d rather be in my home. It’s more comfortable.” Fortunately, her doctor referred her to P-B Health, an agency that provides skilled nursing, therapy services, medical social work and personal care. With the agency, Miss Bessye not only received the care and support she needed, but she found companionship. Angela Lewis, a Registered Nurse who has been with the agency for 14 years, provided wound care for her surgical incision and Miss

When Bessye Clay (right) utilized the services of a home health agency, she not only received the care she needed, but found companionship with Registered Nurse Angela Lewis.

Bessye also received physical therapy services. “The nurses would come out and help me with walking and I did all kinds of therapy with them,” said Miss Bessye. She has also credited Angela with helping her to avoid what could have been debilitating injuries after she slipped and fell in her home last September. As a result, Miss Bessye has suffered from sciatica, but said things could have been worse had it not been for Angela checking on her and insisting she go to the hospital. “If she hadn’t insisted that I go, I might not

be able to walk right now,” said Miss Bessye. Thanks to P-B Health, she made her recovery much quicker than expected and would gladly recommend the agency to others. With the improvement of her health, however, there has just been one downside for Miss Bessye. “I wish Angela was still coming,” she said. “I miss her very much. She was an excellent nurse.” These days, Miss Bessye enjoys spending time with her family in the area and catching up with Dot, a friend she had made in the hospital who also received care from the home health agency. “Some of the same nurses that came to see me went to see her,” said Miss Bessye. “We now call each other every day. We are always laughing and talking about the great service we have had.” Excerpts reprinted with permission from the article, ‘The Growing Need for Home Health Care Services’ by Ursula Battle in the “Baltimore Times” (December 3-9, 2010).

HOW TO

make aging in place possible

professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life can become too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing common remodeling projects and on how to combat common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS specialist is that they offer a service in drawing from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized and thorough

plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typi-

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

cal modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS professionals are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aestheticallypleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. CAPS was developed by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP in order to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

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

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

The comfort and care of your loved one is our most important priority. We have been providing skilled care, respite care and holiday care in the Baltimore area for over 25 years.

Universal Design creates spaces designed for convenience, safety and economy

B

aby boomers are the generation of choice, and when it comes to their retirement needs, they plan to do things their way. In fact, a recent AARP survey examining the opinions of Americans over the age of 45 found that the majority of them plan to stay in their current residence for as long as possible. Combine this information with the Center for Disease Control’s findings that falls are the leading cause of injury or death among people 65 years and older, and that 60 percent of these fatal falls happen at home. It’s no wonder that there is a growing trend among home builders and remodelers to create “universal design” living spaces. Universal design homes need to ac-

commodate occupants with decreased health, vision, mobility, hearing, dexterity and income. There are a number of ways that new houses can be designed, or existing houses can be remodeled, to make life easier for people with such limitations, whether they be an older adult or injured. And the bonus is that such modifications usually make the home more comfortable and more safe for everyone. Most issues related to universal design fit into one of three categories: convenience, safety/health, and economy. Designs for convenience include anything that makes life easier, such as automatic garage door openers, lighted switches, lever handles for doors and faucets, wheelchair ramps, home elevators and stair lifts, wider halls and doors, intercom systems, taller toilets, and openings without raised thresholds (including shower stalls), among many others. What’s more, businesses catering to the aging community have exploded, and most all offer adapted versions of their regular products. Installing lever-type

door handles, for example, or wheelchair accessible entrances and bathrooms isn’t any more expensive than regular knobs and doorways. Safety considerations include adjusting water temperature to avoid scalding injuries, good lighting, installation of smoke detectors, placement of handrails and grab-bars, removal of slippery throw rugs, and generally reducing clutter and obstacles. Universal design modifications generally increase the home’s value—making these changes economically sound. As more home buyers look for houses where they can age in place, universally designed spaces are becoming increasingly valuable. Modifying one’s home is merely customizing it, and universal design accommodates everyone. From small children to elderly, and it’s a worthwhile consideration in the planning stages of house design if a homeowner is planning to stay in the same house they always known after retirement.

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

caregiver tips in helping with medicare by Ross Blair, PlanPrescriber.com 1. Manage Timelines Effectively: Medicare eligibility begins for U.S. citizens and legal residents when they turn 65. A person has a seven-month initial enrollment period that begins three months before their birthday month and ends three months after. During this initial enrollment period, a person can enroll in Original Medicare (Parts A&B), a prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D) or a Medicare Advantage plan. If you want to enroll in a medigap (Medicare supplement insurance) policy, the open-enrollment period starts the first month the person is both 65 and enrolled in Part B, and lasts for 6 months. During that 6-month medigap enrollment period, a person has a guaranteed right to buy any medigap policy sold in their state. 2. Don’t Overlook Legal Matters: At a certain point, it may be advisable for your loved one to grant you or another family member a Durable Power of At-

torney that includes the ability to make decisions relating to your loved one’s healthcare. Discuss who will take on this important responsibility and if there are specific medical preferences or directives that your loved one has requested. You don’t want to make these types of decisions in the middle of a health crisis. Also, make sure your loved one has a Living Will or Advanced Healthcare Directive. 3. Know Your Loved One’s Prescription Drugs: Compile a list of the future Medicare beneficiary’s current prescription drugs: names, dosages and required frequency of use. Then use the prescription drug plan comparison tool at PlanPrescriber. com to: - Find out if the drugs on your list are generic or available in generic form. If a generic drug is available, ask the Medicare beneficiary’s primary doctor if it makes sense to switch from a to a lower-

cost generic alternative. - Compare prescription drug plans and choose what’s right for the beneficiary? And then help the beneficiary enroll online or over the phone. 4. Beware of Fraud: Identify and report any Medicare fraud, abuse or scams. To be on the lookout, carefully review the ‘Explanation of Benefits’ statements received for all regular Medicare and Part D services. Review bills from all providers to make sure you are paying for only the services or equipment the Medicare beneficiary received. Be careful about giving out any personal information (your own or your loved one’s) to individuals or organizations. There is a helpful section on fraud and specific tips to avoid fraud at www.Medicare.gov. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has neither reviewed nor endorsed this information.

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

The Retirement Estimator stands as the most popular online service in both the public and private sector — a position it shares with another popular service, Social Security’s Benefit Application. That’s according to the most recent annual American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), which came out earlier this year. In an index ranking online services, Social Security’s Retirement Estimator and Benefit Application take the top spots, each with a score of 90. What’s the highest ranking service in the private sector? It’s Netflix, with a score of 87, tying with Social Securi-

ty’s Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs application. The online Retirement Estimator is a convenient, secure, and quick financial planning tool that lets you calculate how much you might expect to receive in Social Security benefits when retirement rolls around. The tool uses your actual earnings information on file at Social Security, without displaying your personal information. So you get an instant estimate of your future retirement benefits. The Retirement Estimator even lets you run personalized scenarios and “what if� situations. For example, you can change the date you expect to retire or change expected future earnings to create and compare different retirement options. This can help you as you plan ahead. And, it’s so easy to use.

To use the Retirement Estimator, you must have enough Social Security credits to qualify for benefits and you must not already be receiving monthly benefits. We may take a few moments to celebrate this birthday, but we’re not resting on our laurels just yet. Later this year Social Security plans to introduce a Spanish-language version of the Retirement Estimator. High customer service scores are a great birthday present for the two-yearold Retirement Estimator. Come join the celebration and get an instant, personalized estimate of your future Social Security benefits. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. Mike Weakland is the Social Security Area Director in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.

HOW TO

apply online as a spouse

you may be eligible for spouse’s benefits n by Jackie Collins-Miller You probably already know that when it comes time to apply for retirement, you can do it online at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyonline. But did you know that spouses can apply online, too? If you are a spouse applying for benefits based on your husband’s or wife’s record, you can do it online from the convenience of your own home. Wonder whether you may qualify to apply for spouse’s benefits? If you are a spouse who has not worked or who has worked for very low wages, you could be entitled to a benefit equal to as much as one-half of your retired spouse’s full benefit. Even if you are divorced, you may be eligible for benefits based on the employment record of your former spouse. To get benefits on your spouse’s re-

cord, you must be at least age 62 or have a qualifying child in your care — a child who is under age 16 or who receives Social Security disability benefits. The amount of your spousal benefit depends on your age at retirement. If you begin receiving benefits before full retirement age, your benefits will be permanently reduced in most cases. You also may be eligible for a retirement benefit based on your own earnings. If that benefit is higher than the spousal benefit, Social Security would pay you the higher benefit. We compare which of the two benefits would be more beneficial to you, and discuss the options you have. If you have reached your full retirement age and are eligible for a spouse’s benefit as well as your own retirement

benefit, you may choose to receive the spouse’s benefits only in order to continue accruing delayed retirement credits on your own Social Security record. You may then file for benefits at a later date and receive a higher monthly benefit based on the effect of delayed retirement credits. Remember that if you are a spouse who is taking care of a minor child (16 or under) or a child who is disabled and gets Social Security benefits on your or your spouse’s record, you can receive a benefit, regardless of your retirement age. Jackie is the Social Security Area Director in Owings Mills, Md. Read more about Social Security Retirement Benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10035.html

marci’s medicare answers to persons under age 65. State law may Dear Marci, give more protections to persons both How do I get a list of Medigap comover and under 65. panies in my state? Generally, you can call your State —Darlene

if it will receive bills for your care from Medicare automatically or whether you will need to do this yourself. —Marci

Dear Darlene, TIt is a good idea to start researching Medigaps in your area well before you enroll in Medicare or lose other supplemental coverage so that you will not have any gaps in coverage. Under national law, persons age 65 and older have rights to buy a Medigap policy only at certain times. During these times, Medigap companies cannot refuse to sell you a policy based on your age or health status. Depending on your circumstances, you may be subject to a waiting period before pre-existing conditions are covered by your Medigap policy. National law does not give the same protections

Marci’s Medicare Answers is a service of the Medicare Rights Center (www. medicarerights.org), the nation’s largest independent source of information and assistance for people with Medicare. To speak with a counselor, call (800) 3334114. To subscribe to “Dear Marci,� the Medicare Rights Center’s free educational e-newsletter, simply e-mail dearmarci@ medicarerights.org To learn more about the services that Medicare will cover and how to change plans, log on to Medicare Interactive Counselor at the Medicare Rights Center’s website at www.medicareinteractive.org

Department of Insurance or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for a list of Medigap companies in your state and for help choosing a plan. Visit www.shiptalk.org to find your SHIP. You can also visit www.medicare.gov to see what plans are offered in your area. If your physician, provider or supplier accepts assignment, they should automatically receive Part B claims from Medicare so that you do not have to submit the claims to the insurer yourself. Some Medigap insurers also choose to receive Part A claims directly from Medicare. Before you sign up for a Medigap policy, be sure to ask the insurer

independence you need the quality of life you deserve

HOW TO

find daytime supervision

centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers

A

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

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

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

dult day centers not only provide individuals with fun activities and social opportunities, but they offer their loved ones who have stepped in as caregivers peace of mind. The only daughter of six children, Carolyn Jones decided to move her mother, Barbara, into her Baltimore home when she suffered a stroke in 1990. Barbara was using a cane following rehabilitation but was still able to use the stairs and warm up meals her daughter prepared. Over the years, however, she became weaker and was not able to move around as easily. When an illness in 2010 affected Barbara’s balance, Carolyn, who was working full time and receiving temporary help from her brother, knew it was time to look at different options. “I found out through Keswick Multi-Care Center, her rehabilitation facility, that they had a daycare,” said Carolyn. “When my mother first found out she had to go, she was
