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

volunteer, cultural and social activities. Getting around can become more difficult as you age. Transportation, therefore, is a key component of a retirement life filled with purpose. Carpooling, ride sharing and public transportation are all good options that can help keep this leg of the stool strong. No one likes to think about changing their home to accommodate decreased mobility or abilities; however, the realities of aging make this an important aspect of a purposeful life. Retirement residences should be designed or modified with accessibility in mind long before a crisis
occurs. The home environment needs to be safe, comfortable and practical. Throughout SourceBook, you will find how-to articles and detailed listings to help you build your own retirement stool. Whether you are looking for a retirement community or longing to age in place, we have options that will ensure that your focus stays on finding, and living, your purpose. Of course, we are always here to help. You can call me at 1-800-394-9990 or email steve@proaging.com. Steve Gurney Publisher

The Long Way Home A Carefully Planned Retirement Move By Christy Brudin
A
fter 14 moves in the last 25 years, Mac and Nancy Cramer know what they want in a home — and they are more than willing to wait for it. They spent nearly six years locating the ideal home for their retirement. Their patience paid off. Today, they enjoy an expansive view of the Chesapeake Bay and the financial benefits of partial ownership in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). As a Naval Academy graduate, Mac has always had a fondness for Annapolis — one that Nancy shares. It is not surprising, then, that their exhaustive retirement community search led them to America’s sailing capital. They are now residents at BayWoods of Annapolis, a luxurious waterfront retirement community. Mac and Nancy’s long journey home started at a football game at the Naval Academy. They were both enjoying the game with friends and certainly were not looking for romance. That seemingly unremarkable meeting led to a 25-year-long marriage that united two large families. Together, the couple has six kids, 11 grandkids and 11 great-grandkids. When Mac became Chief Executive Officer of Vitro Corporation in Silver Spring, MD, the couple moved to the D.C. Metropolitan region. Seven years later, Mac retired and the couple moved once again — this time to Charleston, SC. “I was born in Charleston, and my mother was still living there,” Mac recalled. “We lived there for ten years and absolutely loved it.” “We moved back to this area largely because the kids were closer,“ Mac continued. “I was also still active at the Naval Academy, and we just loved this area.” They initially moved into a condo in a converted church in downtown Annapolis. While the couple enjoyed the historic charm of the house, they grew tired of walking their two dogs several times a day and looking for off-street parking, especially in the snow. After being offered the opportunity to work with a builder to renovate a nearby duplex to their specifications, Mac and Nancy started packing once again.
Before making a final decision, the Cramers carefully catalogued their retirement options, toured communities, put down deposits and even consulted with a builder about renovating a unit.
Their new custom home solved the problem of having to walk their dogs and park on the street, but it came with some different challenges. “It was four stories high. Both of us were having a hard time with that. It just got to be too much,” said Nancy. “I guess we could have bought three chairlifts, but you know, we just moved,” added Mac with a laugh. The Cramers knew it was time to look for a retirement community — again. Several years earlier, the couple had purchased a unit in a retirement community near Washington, D.C. “It was a lovely community, and it was in an area we liked, so we bought a unit,” recalled Mac. Nancy agreed, “It was nice, and it was huge, but we were never there.”

The Cramers had their builder raise the floor on the porch, so they can now enjoy Bay views from the comfort of their wing chairs.
While the Cramers used the unit when they were meeting their children who live in Virginia, they were not staying there nearly enough to justify the expense. Ultimately, they realized they wanted to be in Annapolis. After consulting with several local friends, Mac and Nancy began to look at retirement communities in and around Annapolis. They carefully catalogued their options, toured communities, put down deposits, and even consulted with a builder about renovating a unit at another community. In fact, the Cramers looked at BayWoods quite a few times before making their final decision. One of their visits was shortly after BayWoods completed a state-ofthe-art health care center. The waterfront had also been completely renovated. “It was just lovely. I really thought, ‘Wow,’” said Nancy. “We got on the list and looked at a couple of places that were larger than this, but we just decided that we weren’t quite ready,” Mac said. All of the Cramers’ planning and pondering came to an end when the marketing manager at BayWoods offered them the chance to take a look at a newly available unit. “It wasn’t quite ready, but she let us peek in. We looked in, and I saw the vaulted ceilings and then we walked out on this porch, and I said, ‘I think we should get it.’ Just like that,” recalled Nancy. The couple had their builder raise the floor on the porch, so they can now enjoy Bay views from the comfort of their wing chairs.
While they certainly value the views, the Cramers also appreciate the wealth of activities and social opportunities available at BayWoods. Nancy is a member of the flower committee and participates in Bible classes. Mac attends exercise classes three days a week. They both participate in the community’s Great Books Club. However, they both agree that socializing with the other residents is one of the best activities available. “Within the first six weeks of moving here, we were invited by several different couples to come to their apartments for cocktails and dinner — just to meet people,” said Mac. “It was a really nice way to get to know people. We just felt so welcome,” Nancy added. Even though the couple still spends summers in Vermont and two or three months in Charleston in the winter, they feel very connected to their friends and neighbors at BayWoods. When they are at BayWoods during the winter and spring, the couple looks forward to all the wonderful dining options available for residents. “I recently wrote a letter to the chef, listing the many dishes we like and complimenting the good servers. I just wanted to make sure the chef knew how much we appreciate his work, so I wrote it all down. There wasn’t one negative thing in that letter,” Nancy said. Everyone can appreciate delicious food and outstanding service, but the Cramers are also thankful for a much more practical amenity: the on-campus health care center. BayWoods offers rehab, respite, assisted living and skilled nursing services. Knowing that excellent health care is available should they ever need it is very important to both Mac and Nancy. “You walk into the health center, and it is just beautiful. I’m very impressed, and one of our good friends stayed there after her hip replacement, and she said the care was exceptional,” Nancy pointed out. The Cramers also like the fact that since BayWoods is a cooperative, they — along with all the residents — collectively own the land, as well as all the residential buildings and other amenities. This equity position provides residents all the financial advantages of home ownership, including income tax deductions and potential appreciation on their investment, with none of the disadvantages of upkeep and maintenance. After what was certainly a well-researched and carefully planned move, the Cramers and their two cats, Chessie and Mischa, have settled into their new home at BayWoods nicely. As they sit on their porch and enjoy the beautiful views of the Chesapeake Bay, Mac and Nancy can now reflect on the many false starts and reconsiderations that led them to what is undoubtedly the perfect retirement community for them. Their journey was long, but it ultimately brought them home.

continuing education providing learning environments for senior-serving professionals
T
here is no question that the population of Baby Boomers and their aging loved ones is rapidly increasing. Therefore, understanding the needs of these groups and the issues affecting them has never been more important. What some may not realize, however, is that various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is one such school reaching out to professionals with its Odyssey Certificate on Aging. The 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Public and Private Programs for the Elderlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Biological Aspects of Aging,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; while electives vary with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aging, Nutrition and Fitness;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Counseling, Case Management and Older Adultsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Death, Grief and End-of-Life Planning.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Designed to address the ethical, financial, legal, medical and psychological issues facing the fastest growing population in the U.S., Odyssey and similar programs allow professionals to better serve the seniors they care for on a daily basis. Like JHU, McDaniel College features programs in Gerontology through The Center for the Study of Aging (CSA). Here, required courses and electives from 12 departments and programs are offered including social work, communication, exercise science and physical education, biology, and religion. The Erickson School of Aging Studies is another program that strives to educate leaders with the goal of improving society for older adults. Focusing on Aging, Management and Policy, the program enables students to immerse themselves in several disciplines using an active learning environment.
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 todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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 more than 90 percent 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.

products to keep you active advancements in medical equipment facilitate safe and healthy lifestyles
M
edical supplies and equipment fall into two major categories. Medical supplies generally refers to products that are used to make patients more comfortable and need to be replenished on a regular basis. Durable medical equipment includes items that are long-lasting and are generally one-time purchases. Medical Supplies Medical supply products help individuals cope with and manage the symptoms of illness or old age. Products include specially adapted socks and stockings, skin care products and other helpful items. Daily living aids are also available to help individuals who need assistance dressing or taking medication. Home health monitors and specialized in-home tests let patients track everything from blood pressure to heart rate. Durable Medical Equipment Durable medical equipment includes items that help elderly or disabled individuals maintain mobility and/or

receive necessary care in the comfort of their homes. Durable medical equipment products can be broken into two major categories: mobility products and care assistance products. Mobility products include a wide range of highly advanced equipment to help individuals get around. Scooters are available in a range of styles to meet individualized needs. Many individuals find outdoor mobility challenging and are searching for a personal mobility vehicle that can help them continue to participate in activities. Lift chairs are another popular mobility product that provide assistance with moving from a sitting to a standing position. Stair lifts allow individuals to move from one level of their home to another with ease, eliminating the dangerous task of climbing and descending stairs. A wide array of wheelchairs, walkers, and canes are also available to help those with mobility assistance needs. Care assistance products include hospital-style beds, equipment to help with transferring and specially formulated mattresses. All of these products are espe-
cially important for individuals who wish to remain in the home environment. Paying for Supplies & Equipment Medicare helps pay the costs for durable medical equipment. According to Medicare, to be covered, “items must be reusable, such as walkers, wheelchairs, or hospital beds.” Durable medical equipment for home health services is paid for under both Medicare Part B and Part A. Medicare coverage varies, and some equipment must be rented. Coverage by private insurance for durable medical equipment will vary greatly depending on the company and the policy. Coverage for medical supplies by both Medicare and private insurance will depend on the products required and doctors’ recommendations. Finding a Provider Individuals should be comfortable with the professionalism and reliability of the company. Request specific information about costs and product delivery time frames. Consumers should also be aware of any warranties.

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 who are 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 well-supervised. With this article, you can evaluate 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 also follow the AAHCP’s “Principles of Medical Ethics.” Article reprinted with the permission of the AAHCP.

HOW TO
prepare to move
roll up your sleeves, or let a professional help
T
he organizational and physical challenges of moving 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 to plan 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.

t was an awesome task,” said Janet Cooper of her aunt Gloria Gary’s move from a large apartment to an independent living community. Of course, Janet did not know at the time that the nearly overwhelming move would only be the first of three. Janet has always been close to her aunt, and when Gloria asked her to serve as power of attorney, she was happy to do it. Since that time, Gloria has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. When the family decided that it was time for Gloria to move from her large apartment to a community that offered independent and assisted living, Janet knew she needed help. “The people at the community highly recommended Felco Packing & Moving,” recalled Janet.

HOW TO
sort through items
donating your belongings When people want to donate household items, often the first place they think of is one of the major charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America–and for good reason. These agencies are willing to take many of the things we would like to get rid of and put them to good use by either giving them to the needy or selling them in their thrift shops, with the profits go-
ing to support their social services programs. Often, these organizations will make it even easier on donors by coming to the home to pick up donated items. And when you give to charitable organizations, your donation is tax deductible. To be considerate when donating, make sure that all clothes are clean and wearable; all appliances are in working order; and anything with multiple pieces,
like children’s games or tool sets, have all the parts intact. Some charities post guidelines on their websites for items they will accept.

HOW TO
utilize real estate transactions
transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices 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 sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home. Step Two: Packing and sorting Items should be sorted into distinct categories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away. The initial list of items to keep will likely be larger than the new space can accommodate. Moving professionals, however, can offer advice by taking into account their client’s personal
tastes, the financial and sentimental value of possessions, and the new floor plan. Step Three: Moving For many, moving day is simple and rewarding due to comprehensive, customized real estate services provided prior to the sale of the house. On moving day, real estate professionals can recommend trusted companies to help with the physical aspects of moving, while providing assistance with the job of unpacking and setting up the new home. Challenges become choices As the challenges of moving fade due to increasingly helpful professionals, people are left with nothing but choices—where to move, when to move, what to take and how to decorate the new home. Those individuals considering a move are no longer faced with the difficult questions of how to market their homes and move their belongings, as there is help available every step of the way.

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 in getting any job done the right way. When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney may take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence. What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. 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
issue? Is 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? To pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you must know your needs. 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.
Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there clients to other professional and/or non- are attorneys who will occasionally take legal resources that are available to help on pro-bono cases or will work on a contingency fee.

HOW TO
plan for health care decision making
making informed decisions Planning for health care decision making includes two key components:. n Preparation of a written advance directive, more commonly referred to as a living will, durable health care power of attorney or health care proxy. n Appointing someone to be your trusted agent to speak for you when you cannot speak for yourself regarding health care decisions. What are Advance Directives? These legal documents help clarify your health care desires to family members and medical professionals when you are unable to communicate them due to a serious illness or injury. In some states, there are statutory forms that individuals can print, fill out and sign before witnesses. In other states, both statutory forms and customized advance directive documents are allowed. In all states, individuals may add more specific and personalized clauses to their advance directives. It is important for you to appoint a trusted agent to speak for you when you are unable to speak for yourself with respect to medical decisions.

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

how to 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 attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 a successful relationship with your attorney. Use the answers to these questions as a guide to determine the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifications and also to determine whether you can comfortably work with the attorney. If your concerns are not addressed, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the answers to these questions, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses, or if you simply
do not feel relaxed with the attorney, do not make an agreement for services. 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.

HOW TO
prepare legal documents
advance directives that put your affairs in order Advance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself 6/3/05 PM orPage 1 injury. due to12:15 a physical cognitive Finding an Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address legal nuances, personal prefer-
ences and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. 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 body parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

HOW TO
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.

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.
What is a Daily Money Manager? Daily Money Managers (DMMs) provide personal business assistance, usually in the client’s home. They offer an array of services, which include balancing the checkbook(s), writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance providers have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Additionally, DMM assistance in assembling papers needed for income tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions often means the client will pay lower taxes each year.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;care plan.â&#x20AC;? 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 clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

fter being diagnosed with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, Don* was able to maintain his mobility and independence for several years with appropriate treatments. When the disease began to progress quickly, his daughters, who had been working together to care for him, faced several difficult decisions. While their father was in a nursing care facility for rehabilitation following a fall, the daughters decided they needed help planning for his future. They turned to Ivory House Health Services and their unique nurse care managers, who specialize in helping families select appropriate care settings. In addition to their extensive knowledge of senior care options, nurse care managers are also adept at family mediationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;helping families who disagree decide what is best for their loved one.

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, educations 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?

Resolving Communication Breakdowns Seeking Assistance Employee Assistance Programs, often known as EAPs, are a service put in place by most mid-sized and large employers. These programs usually have resources available to help both employees and their families through eldercare challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.
When it comes to the different challenges associated with caring for a loved one, poor communication is often at the root of the problem. You can take comfort in the fact that there are others who have grappled with the very same issues and who can share their mistakes and solutions. These individuals can be found through support groups, your employer’s human resources department, or even by asking trusted friends and neighbors. Seeking Objectivity Sometimes an objective third party’s opinion is beneficial when you are faced with a personal family problem. Mediation professionals specialize in resolving conflicts, making compromises and leading family members through the communication process. One unique feature of this process is the non-judgmental mediator, who is skilled in improving communication among the family members. Seeking Support Attending support group meetings will allow you to meet with like-minded people, share similar scenarios, confide in each other and build healthy camaraderie. Furthermore, important resources can be shared and solutions from experienced members will abound. Seeking Advocates When it comes to a breakdown in communication between residents and communities, ombudsman are available to advocate for the residents’ rights. This national program is a great solution, as the ombudsman will investigate any complaints and determine what appropriate action should be taken.

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 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 their health needs. 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 managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy and its relationship with residents. It is recommended you visit at least three communities 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.

Top Tips for the Transition Making the Most of the Move to a Retirement Community â&#x20AC;˘ 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 isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t college â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 lifetimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of possessions, and equally difficult to face the fact that they may someday need assistance with the daily tasks of living. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and taking a campus tour should be just the beginning, according to Ritter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find opportunities to get involved at all levels.â&#x20AC;?
2. Keep family in the loop: When moving through the selection process, keep close family members involved. They can provide a strong support system and it will show both the family and the staff that their input is valued.
3. Hire a pro: Hiring professionals to help with the move from the family house to the new space can be extremely beneficial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most likely, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to take all of your possessions along,â&#x20AC;? says Ritter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;?
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.

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.

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
n
By Roberta Schultz Benor
some places, you have to pay to be on the waiting list. You should understand what each building requires. Questions You Should Ask n What are the good/bad points about this facility? n Do I meet the financial requirements? n What will my apartment or room look like? n How much will it cost me to live here each month? n What kind of meal program do you offer? n How large is the staff and what kind of care will I receive? n What activities do you offer? n W hat are the rules about coming and going and having visitors and pets? n W hen would I be able to move in and what happens on move-in day? n What am I allowed to bring?
Who will decide when I have to move out of here? n Would I be happy here? n
What Your Answers Should Be All your answers should be honest ones. If you do not remember an answer, it is fine to write down the question and tell the interviewer that you will get back to him. You should feel at the end of the interview that you were treated well, that you understand the requirements for living in the facility, and that you know what will happen from that day on in regard to the application process. You probably will be asked to sign many papers at the interview. Most of the signatures give the staff the necessary permission to continue the application process. Excerpted from Roberta’s book “The Keys to Senior Housing: A Guide for Two Generations” (PublishAmerica 2009).

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

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 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

For residents with more acute health care needs, such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, special units and/or specially trained staff members are often available.

Many communities also offer from large communities with 100 or exercise and wellness programs.

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 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. Request a brochure from your top choices, as well as other specific information including the resident agreement or contract, a list of services and amenities, detailed prices, staffing information, admission and discharge criteria, and community rules. It is advisable to visit a facility more than once to get a complete feel for the lifestyle at the community. Talk with staff and residents and tour the entire facility.

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

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

Assisted Living
assisted living service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for care that describes needs, likes and preferences and the specific manner in which this care will be delivered. Prepared thoroughly and thoughtfully, the service plan can help a resident achieve their highest level of function and quality of life. The service plan uses an interdisciplinary approach and includes the resident, the family if the resident wishes, the facility nurse and resident service coordinator, and may also include the activity
and dining directors. Many states require that assisted living facilities prepare service plans for each resident. Even if the state does not require it, a well run facility will use them. CCAL recommends that service plans be reevaluated every six months or anytime there is a significant change in a residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health status, including a hospitalization.

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

oving to Springwell Senior Living Community in Baltimore, Md., allowed Estelle Greenberg to be close to her only child, Nancy, who lives nearby. The two of them can often be found participating in community events or heading out to run errands. Except for a brief stay in Philadelphia, Estelle has spent her entire life in Baltimore. She completed her education in the Baltimore Public School System. Upon graduation, Estelle entered Sinai School of Nursing. After becoming a Registered Nurse, Estelle wanted to enlist in the armed forces. However, there was a height requirement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a minimum of 5 feet; Estelle was 4â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11â&#x20AC;?. She recalls â&#x20AC;&#x153;puffing upâ&#x20AC;? her hair so that she would appear taller when she went in for her test, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Estelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career went in a different direction. Estelle worked for four years in the operating room at South Baltimore General Hospital, which is now known as Harbor Hospital. During this time, she continued her education, completing a certification course at Johns Hopkins University for Operating Room Technicians.
A native of Baltimore, Estelle found the perfect retirement community in her beloved hometown.
One of Estelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superiors took note of her skills and work ethic and suggested that she undertake additional studies to become an anesthetist. It was rare for a woman to enter this field, but Estelle did not shy away from the challenge. Soon after, she packed up and headed to Philadelphia for an 8-month program of study to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). When Estelle came home, she returned to South Baltimore General, where her successful career spanned four decades. As a CRNA, Estelle was considered a child specialist; she had a special gift for helping children overcome their fears of
medical procedures. As her young patients were being wheeled away from their parents, they were often screaming and crying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would walk beside them and once they were away from their parents, I would look at them and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to cry anymore, I am not your parent,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she recalled. Surprisingly, the children would stop crying and settle down. During her career, Estelle met and married her husband, who was a salesman. The couple had a daughter, Nancy, who followed in her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps. Nancy graduated with her nursing degree from the Villa Julie College, now Stevenson University, and is currently a nurse researcher at the University of Maryland. Since her retirement, Estelle enjoys spending time with her friends at Springwell playing dominoes, Bingo and word games. She is very close to her daughter, and they both enjoy taking in cultural events. Estelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice to young people just venturing out into the working world is to take the time to find something you really like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you enjoy what you are doing, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind getting up and going into work each day,â&#x20AC;? she said.

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

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 what family or professional home care aides can provide. It is best to start researching nursing facilities before an emergency arises to avoid making a less than ideal choice.
What is Nursing Care? At a nursing home, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event. Who is Nursing Care For? These homes serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home, or as temporary facilities during a recovery period. Some enter a nursing home for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness, while others enter on a
more permanent basis. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and personal assets are all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate.
of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints. Visit your prospects at different times of day. Talk with residents. Be persistent about getting your questions answered.
Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a sad day for most. Reassurance from family and friends that love and contact will be maintained can ease the transition. The following steps may help lessen the trauma of this change: n Talk about the admission in advance and describe the home in detail. n Visit the home with the prospective resident beforehand and get to know the administration. n Involve the prospective resident as much as possible in the decision-making process. n Decide together what items to bring What to Look For in Nursing to the nursing home. n Be available the entire day of admisCare sion to help settle the resident and proBefore choosing a home, contact the vide support.

Salzburg, Austria, he set up and operated the daily feeding of 30,000 Hungarian refugees. These days, he is continuing his love of baking and is often seen decorating cakes in between watching sports, catching up with friends and sharing his stories of his experiences in combat. And there is one particular facility he thanks for the ability to maintain these activities: Transitions Healthcare of Sykesville. Raymond was introduced to the facility in 2010 after he was hospitalized and told he would need physical and occupational therapy. When he was hospitalized a second time the following year, it was never a question for Raymond that he would return there for his rehabilitation services. “Transitions Healthcare is the place to go for great rehab, a friendly and caring staff, a

During his 21 years of service in the Army, Raymond served in both WWII and the Korean War. In addition to his education and training for joining the infantry, he learned to become a cook, baker, supervisor and instructor for the Army. As a bread and pastry baker, Raymond trained to set up and operate mess halls during the Korean War. After the war, he managed the Officer Club at Ft.

According to Raymond, both long and short-term residents are encouraged to participate in different opportunities onsite, whether it is enjoying musical entertainment or competing in Bingo. Since leaving the facility, Raymond said he feels like his old self, with the exception of having more friends than ever with whom to share his war and horse racing stories. “I go to breakfast at McDonald’s in Westminster and can still decorate a cake when it is necessary,” he said. “The important thing is that after the rehab services, I am enjoying living on my own, in my home on my small farm.” And should he need any assistance in the future, Raymond has peace of mind knowing there is a place where he will always be welcome.

things to look for in senior housing In the AARP Magazine article titled ‘Selecting Senior Housing,’ Dimitra Kessnides outlined some suggestions of things to look for in a potential community, including the following: Observe residents. Is their hair clean? Is their clothing soiled? What about the staff? Are they stressed, surly or curt? Check out the surroundings. Cleanliness is important, so look for uncollected garbage, dust and dirt. (Odors are normal in nursing homes, especially
when hallways are filled with bins of dirty bed linens). Check the bathrooms, look under the beds, etc. Ask to see the menu. Is there variety and nutritional balance? Is the home sensitive to different dietary needs? You can ask for a copy of the menu and later show it to your parent’s doctor for feedback. Check on where residents eat breakfast. Is it served in bed on a tray? Superior homes will have residents up and out in the dining room. To view this article, visit http://www.

find long-term care assistance 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,” 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.
What is a Possible Outcome? What Does an Ombudsman Do? If the concern requires a formal invesAn ombudsman serves as an impartial tigation, then a signed waiver of rights to third party who will hear your complaints patient confidentiality is required, so that and concerns and investigate them. Fol- the ombudsman can review the records.
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 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 your Area Agency on Aging to locate a local ombudsman.

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.
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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
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 one What Services are Provided? year prognosis or less who may choose Hospice team members focus primarto continue their curative treatments. ily on managing the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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

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

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option Special care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they have had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel
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.

Dementia services are part of the Genesis HealthCare commitment to helping the elderly achieve a full life. 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.

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

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

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.

or the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sandwich generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, finding the appropriate care for a parent can be a stressful time, but it is particularly difficult if an adult child is without the support of siblings or other family. This was the case for Allan Richmond when his mother passed away in November of 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was the independent one and really the caretaker of my dad giving him his medications and things like that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although my dad could walk around fairly well, at that time it was a two-story house and I knew he could not stay there alone.â&#x20AC;? Allanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Joel, worked for Glenn L. Martin making planes during WWII and eventually went into his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family business full-time, helping her run their store, Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Children Shop. Living with his wife, Doris, and Allan above the popular spot near downtown Baltimore, Joel and Doris ran the business until they sold it in 1989. By the time Allan helped move Joel into Springhouse, an assisted living community
After the passing of his wife, Doris, Joel Richmond moved to an assisted living community where he has been receiving home care services, which gives his son, Allan, peace of mind.
in Pikesville, he fortunately already had connections with the home care company, Nurses Available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had provided intermittent services for my parents, such as transportation, and they would help in emergency situations,â&#x20AC;? said Allan. The company was still assisting Joel in 2008 when he had a mild heart attack that
caused him to lose his ability to walk. Since Allan and his wife were out of the country at the time, Pat Kloiber, manager of Nurses Available, immediately stepped in to ensure Joel was provided with 24-hour care. He has maintained this full-time care ever since, receiving assistance with dressing, bathing and meal preparation, among other services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has 14 shifts a week and six caregivers who alternate working with him,â&#x20AC;? said Allan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really know him personally since each individual has been with my dad for at least a year and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very good working with him.â&#x20AC;? Most importantly, Allanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longstanding relationship with the home care company has allowed him peace of mind, despite the fact that he sees his father up to six days a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do the best I can, but we occasionally go away, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to work with an agency that offers us this stability,â&#x20AC;? he said.

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

crease access and improve maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertops, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation 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 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 remodeling project to the cost of moving for a financial perspective. To find Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists, seek referrals from others who may have had similar work done. Before you commit to a remodeler, verify with your local state office of consumer protection and Better Business Bureau that he/she has the appropriate license(s) in your state. Ask for a writ-
ten estimate of the work your remodeler will perform based on your own specifications. Be firm, but prepared to pay the total amount in full. Finally, select a professional with plenty of experience with your type of project. Remember, the lowest price does not always ensure a successful remodeling project, and home improvements are an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

technology to the rescue 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. 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 Owner & Operator, Linda Cromwell, is recipient of the 2011 “Women of Distinction” Award from Howard County Business Womens Network.
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 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). 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.

Home Care Patient Rights Federal law requires that all individuals receiving home care services be informed of their rights as a patient. Following is a model patient bill of rights the National Association for Home Care (NAHC) has developed, based on the patient rights currently enforced by law.
Home care patients have the right to: n be fully informed of all rights and responsibilities by the home care agency; n choose care providers; n appropriate and professional care in accordance with physician orders; n receive a timely response from the agency to a request for service; n be admitted for service only if the agency has the ability to provide safe, professional care at the level of intensity needed;
receive reasonable continuity of care; receive information necessary to give informed consent prior to the start of any treatment or procedure; n be advised of any change in the plan of care, before the change is made; n refuse treatment within the confines of the law and to be informed of the consequences of his or her action; and n be informed of his or her rights under state law to formulate advanced directives.

Home Car e Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers If facing this decision, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision:
1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or
otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?
2. Are social security, federal and state
taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible?
3. Is there verification that the paid
caregivers can legally work in the U.S.?
4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who
is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance policies exclude
7. A ssuming family is not available to
such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.”
supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services?
5. Are criminal history background checks, state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?
6. Is there bonding and insurance in place
If the adult caregiver does not have the time or resources available to answer these important questions, the services of a professional home care agency or adult day care center may be the right solution.
that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages related to the caregiver(s) working in the home.

HOW TO
become a representative payee
a way to help your loved ones n By Diana Varela, Social Security Administration
I
f a loved one, friend or neighbor receives Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits but is no longer physically or mentally able to take care of his or her financial affairs, you may want to consider becoming a representative payee. Then, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to help them with managing their money. Keep in mind that being a representative payee is not the same as having power of attorney. Even if you do have power of attorney, you will need to apply to be a representative payee in order to have the benefit payments made to you on the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf. When we learn that a person is no longer able to handle his or her own Social Security or SSI benefits, we conduct a careful investigation and appoint a relative, friend or other interested party to serve as the representative payee. This means that if you agree to be a representative payee and we appoint you, we pay you the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefits to use on his or her behalf. As a representative payee, you would be responsible for using the benefit payments
to help meet the basic needs of the beneficiary. Primarily, the funds should be used to provide food, clothing, shelter, utilities and other essential needs for the person eligible for benefits. As a representative payee, you need to be aware of the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs so you can decide how benefits can best be used for his or her personal care and well-being. Each year, Social Security will mail you a form to account for the benefits you have received. The quickest and easiest way to complete the form is online, at www.socialsecurity.gov/payee. You can also complete the paper form and return it to Social Security. As a representative payee, you will also need to tell Social Security about changes that may affect the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eligibility. This includes things like changes in living arrangements, other income, and resources. If you decide you want to help someone by becoming their representative payee, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good company. More than seven million people who get monthly Social Security or SSI payments
As a representative payee, you need to be aware of the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs so you can decide how benefits can best be used.
each month have a representative payee because they need help managing their money. By agreeing to serve as a representative payee, you have taken on an important responsibility â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that can make a positive difference in both the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and your own.

HOW TO
fill the gaps in medicare
choosing the right plan and provider for you n By Susan Morisato
M
edicare is a vital part of the health insurance portfolio for millions of Americans. However, beneficiaries must still find ways to pay for the things Medicare doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover, such as deductibles, copays and coinsurance charges. Medicare supplement insurance can help fill these gaps. Selecting a Plan First, identify your needs, and then identify a Medicare supplement plan that will meet them. Consider which of Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deductibles and coinsurance charges are most important for you to cover. In most states, Medicare enrollees may select from any one of 12 standardized Medicare supplement plans approved for sale within their state of residence. Plans start with a basic benefits plan, Plan A, which provides coverage for Part A and Part B coinsurance, and continue up through the comprehensive Plan J, which provides supplemental coverage for nearly all of Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gaps. Choosing a Medicare Supplement Insurance Provider It is important to investigate the plan providers in your state to find one that: a)
is financially sound, b) offers competitive rates and top-notch service, and, c) offers the plan that fits your budget and needs. The plans and their benefits are the same among all insurance companies offering Medicare supplement coverage, but rates and value-added services will vary, sometimes significantly. Find out if the company is using flat rating, entry-age rating or attained-age rating. Flat rating means a company charges everyone the same rate for a particular plan. The flat rate will not increase solely because you grow older. Entry-age rating offers different rates for a plan, based on your age at the time of enrollment. Like flat rating, the rate will not increase simply because you grow older. Attained-age rating means your planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly rate will increase each year as you age. Your age when applying for a plan will be used to determine your rate. Lastly, see what â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? may be offered to you by the provider company if you enroll in their plan. While companies cannot alter the federally mandated benefits of Medicare supplement plans, they can offer you additional value-added features, such as free or discounted access to certain health and wellness services.
Your Health Status You will also want to explore the potential difficulty of enrolling in the plan you want. Some Medicare supplement carriers underwrite all of the standardized plans, but some only underwrite a select few. If a plan is underwritten, the status of your health at the time of enrollment is used to determine your eligibility. Some companies may only ask a few questions regarding your health background. Others require an extensive medical history. If you apply for a Medicare supplement plan at age 65 during your Open Enrollment Period, your acceptance is guaranteed into the plan of your choice. If you are enrolled or planning to enroll in both Medicare Parts A and B when you turn 65, you can apply for a Medicare supplement policy up to three months prior to your 65th birthday. Several organizations and volunteer groups can provide you with Medicare supplement insurance information. Your stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance department or CMS, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, are also excellent resources for health insurance information.

Universal Design creates spaces designed for convenience, safety and economy Baby boomers are the generation of choice, and when it comes to their retirement needs, they plan to do things their way. In fact, a recent AARP survey examining the opinions of Americans over the age of 45 found that the majority of them plan to stay in their current residence for as long as possible. Combine this information with the Center for Disease Control’s findings that falls are the leading cause of injury or death among people 65 years and older, and that 60 percent of these fatal falls happen at home. It’s no wonder that there is a growing trend among home builders and remodelers to create “universal design” living spaces. Universal design homes need to accommodate occupants with decreased health, vision, mobility, hearing, dexterity and income. There are a number of ways that new houses can be designed, or existing houses
can be remodeled, to make life easier for people with such limitations, whether they be an older adult or injured. And the bonus is that such modifications usually make the home more comfortable and more safe for everyone. Most issues related to universal design fit into one of three categories: convenience, safety/health, and economy. Designs for convenience include anything that makes life easier, such as automatic garage door openers, lighted switches, lever handles for doors and faucets, wheelchair ramps, home elevators and stair lifts, wider halls and doors, intercom systems, taller toilets, and openings without raised thresholds (including shower stalls), among many others. Businesses catering to the aging community have exploded, and most 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. Universal design accommodates everyone from small children to the elderly. It is therefore a worthwhile consideration in the planning stages of house design if a homeowner is planning to stay in the same house after retirement.

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

Understanding Home Health Care Benefits When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent 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 extend 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.

fast medicare coverage even when you’re not retired n
By George McConnell, Social Security Administration Deputy Area Director
You’ve made your decision: although you’re eligible to collect Social Security payments, you’re going to keep working and delay receiving your retirement benefits. But don’t forget about Medicare. Even if you decide to wait until after you are age 65 to apply for retirement benefits, most people should apply for Medicare coverage at age 65. If you’d like to begin your Medicare coverage, you should apply within four months of reaching age 65. There’s a fast, convenient and simple way to apply online for Medicare in as little as 10 minutes — even if you’re not ready to receive retirement benefits. Just visit www. socialsecurity.gov/medicareonly.
At the website, you’ll find more than just the online Medicare application. You’ll also find information about Medicare, and have the opportunity to watch a short, fun video reuniting the cast of The Patty Duke Show to tell you about the ease and convenience of filing for Medicare online. It’s important to note that people who already receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits do not need to apply for Medicare; they will be automatically enrolled. There is no additional charge for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A), since you already paid for it by working and paying Medicare tax. But there is
a monthly premium for medical insurance (Part B). If you already have other health insurance when you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider whether you want to apply for the medical insurance. You may want to consult with an insurance specialist. To learn more about this and other Medicare considerations, read our online publication, Medicare, at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/10043.html Mr. McConnell is the Deputy Area Director for the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area which serves a complex of 16 offices in the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland, Northern Virginia, and the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.

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. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prescription Drugs: Compile a list of the future Medicare beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary doctor if it makes sense to switch to a lower-cost ge-
We bring healing
neric alternative. - Compare prescription drug plans and choose whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for the beneficiary. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Explanation of Benefitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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.

A
dult day centers not only provide individuals with fun activities and social opportunities, but they also 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 really hesitant, but she knew she didn’t want
