You’ve got a friend at Chandler Hall Meet Esther, Ruth, Pearl and Jerome at their favorite table. To see Esther, Ruth, Pearl and Jerome together, you’d think they were lifelong friends. Actually, they are, even though the foursome only met when each came to Chandler Hall. The four discovered they had much in common and bonded over the beautifully-prepared meals in the community dining room. Like many Chandler Hall residents, they discussed different communities in the area with their children, before they decided that life here offered the most advantages. Community activities include bingo, yoga, exercise classes, movies on residence floors’ big screen TVs, trips on the community bus, performances, and much more. Still, one of the best reasons to come to Chandler Hall is 16

he stage lights dim as the sound of something heavy being dragged center stage is heard over a murmuring of voices and the occasional shuffle of a chair. The eyes of those seated in a circle start to adapt to the low light and the silhouette of their director and a lone wooden trunk come into focus. Director Robb Hutter addresses his students, “Improvisation, even for the most highly trained actor, is a difficult task.

And did I mention, it’s a lot of fun?” As Robb pauses for a second, you sense the combination of excitement and fear from the students on stage. Some start to rock back and forth in their chairs.

Robb continues as the stage lights illuminate, “When I open this trunk lid, I want each of you to come select a single prop and return to your seat. I’ll start by pairing you with

Inspiring a more enjoyable, longer life just takes a little spin. Sporting championship tables and a specially designed cushioned floor, Shannondell takes its “ping pong” seriously. Fortunately, residents also take the opportunity to share a fun activity with good friends just as seriously. Rediscovering that a childhood sport can still bring a smile to their face – yet another way Shannondell residents are living more inspired.

Fellow Shannondell resident and acting classmate Doris agrees, “The last time I was on stage, I was at camp and maybe 15. So, when I approached the director about joining, I was a little apprehensive. (laughs) He cast me in the next show and I’ve never looked back.” She goes on, “Being part of this group has really helped me to feel integrated into this wonderful community we call Shannondell, and it’s also introduced me to delightful new friends.” Says Robb proudly, “My Shannondell actors definitely enjoy class. They love the ability to express anger or passion that, offstage, they simply aren’t comfortable showing in public. And the camaraderie is addictive. Residents are always telling me that acting class is the one class they look forward to most, every week. Performing becomes secondary to the bonds and friendships that develop on stage.” One of the most anticipated performances in the Shannondell Performing Arts Theater every season is the WSDL Good Times Radio Revue, an ongoing production of the Actors’ Studio. “It’s a fun show for the actors and the audience. Both get to relive the golden age of radio with comedic sketches, hit songs and vintage commercials from shows like George and Gracie, Baby Snooks, Father Knows Best and The Inner Sanctum,” states Robb. If reliving the past while forging a new path forward sounds like a paradox to you, know that it’s a welcome script to this expanding group of Shannondell residents in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s. Each is enjoying an inspiring new stage in life – one in the spotlight at Shannondell. Applause, applause!
Colorful caps serve as a tool to help residents assume another role.
Performing Arts at Shannondell In addition to the Actors’ Studio, Shannondell offers its residents a number of outlets to hone and showcase their talents on stage. These include: • .Readers Theater – a class that grew out of the Actors’ Studio for residents who prefer to read versus memorize lines and who still enjoy performing • .Shannondell Singers – a director-led chorus that rehearses weekly and performs twice a year in the Shannondell Performing Arts Theater • .Shannondell Ballet – a ballerina-led group of ladies who learn, rehearse and perform classic ballet in the Performing Arts Theater • .Shannondell Tappers – Flashy costumes and lively music provide the backdrop for this instructor-led dance (tap) troupe that also performs in the Theater. • .Belly Dancing – The newest dance class at Shannondell continues to shimmy and shake their way into the spotlight on stage. The Shannondell Performing Arts Theater is also home to more than 100 professional productions every year, including many artists from The Philadelphia Orchestra, Opera Philadelphia and Broadway touring companies.
Learning to laugh at themselves is just part of the education.

Mary DeSimone puts her heart and soul into caring for all the seniors at Cardinal Village.
Chestnut Knoll At Home Linda Detwiler is the director of Chestnut Knoll At Home in Gilbertsville and Phoenixville and is dedicated to providing quality Home Care services to seniors who need a little help to remain living independent at home. “I’m just a hometown girl trying to make a difference,” said Linda. “I always try to give back to the community what it has given me and my family – a caring, safe environment, and a helping hand when needed. As the Director for the past 13 years, I am able to lead a team dedicated to providing quality, in-home assistance to seniors in the area.” An individual caregiver can make all the difference in a person’s life. Caregivers support families and allow seniors to live their lives to the fullest in their homes, and give family members peace of mind. Services can be personalized - from something as simple as conversation and companionship, to more extensive duties such as dressing, grooming, bathing, light housekeeping and laundry. “As the area’s premier Home Care service, we are given the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, no matter how big or small. Being able to provide care to someone who needs it is a gift, and our mission is to ensure all of our caregivers receive ongoing geriatric training and recognize the important role they play in providing our seniors with the kindness and respect they deserve,” said Linda. “You can feel the difference when you walk into a Heritage Senior Living community,” says Vice President of Marketing, Gretchen Vakiener. “Come talk to some of our residents and meet our employees. You’ll see.”

The Birches at Newtown Jack Baradziej has called The Birches at Newtown Personal Care and Memory Care “home” since 2014. Jack served in the Air Force from 1954-58 and later attended Penn State University to become a teacher. Once he retired from years of teaching and coaching at Pennsbury High School, he frequently visited The American Legion, where he enjoyed playing golf or cards on a weekly basis. When Jack’s dementia progressed, he moved to The Birches Daybreak memory care neighborhood, where he is able to receive specialized and innovative care. He enjoys music and likes to attend entertainment events. Jack can be seen happily strolling around, singing along to the great music on his headset. At The Birches, Jack is able to continue the social lifestyle he always enjoyed. He loves the new Trademark Dining program, which allows him to eat with his new friends every day with a personalized meal, complete with servers offering warm washcloth services prior to meals. This type of freedom and camaraderie reminds him of the good old days at The American Legion.

Thrive During Retirement By Dawn R. Kelly
Pat Marshall is the chairman of Pine Run’s Good Bears Club, which creates cuddly bears for pediatric patients in Doylestown Hospital’s Emergency Department.
P
at Marshall, 83, is busy enjoying every minute at Doylestown Health’s Pine Run Retirement Community. “They have so much to offer, and being involved keeps me young and keeps my mind active,” says Pat. Pine Run’s director of Life Enrichment, Ceil Krajewski, agrees. “People retire from work they’re paid for — not from life. Staying involved keeps our Villagers physically, mentally and socially active, helping them to adjust and thrive,” says Ceil. Pat, a former Doylestown Hospital nurse, loves sewing and handiwork, so Pine Run’s Good Bears Club was a perfect fit! A member since 2002, she’s the group’s chairman. She also coordinates a knitting group and serves as a representative for her neighbors. “You don’t need to sew to join the Good Bears,” says Pat.
“We have tracers, cutters and stuffers.” Members create cuddly bears for pediatric patients in Doylestown Hospital’s Emergency Department, and have donated more than 23,500 bears since 1989. “When a child is upset or scared, the bears provide comfort. We receive many notes about the bears from grateful parents,” says Emergency Department nurse, Sue Gottlob, RN. Something for Everyone If there isn’t a club that matches a Villager’s interests, Pine Run’s Life Enrichment team will create one. Many residents explore new pursuits including painting, pottery, woodshop and trains. The Keep on Learning Program highlights history, nature, health and more. For example, Elmwood Park Zoo has featured live animals in a presentation about habitats and diet, while

A puzzle is always in progress, and villagers can stop anytime to work on it. Card games and crossword puzzles are a huge hit, according to Ceil, as well as new coloring books for adults.

A Simple Formula
C
By Christy Brudin
huck Ladner has been doing the math for decades. He spent the bulk of his career serving as a Chief Financial Officer. It was not surprising that when it came time to plan his own retirement, he turned to the numbers. After assessing the data, Chuck and his wife, Diane, decided to move to Dunwoody Village, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Newtown Square, Penn. In fact, they were the first residents of Dunwoody Village’s new Penrose Carriage Homes. These twin-style homes offer spacious and affordable living options. The 40 new homes are scheduled to be completed in summer 2016, but reservations are being made now and residents are already moving in. After moving to New Jersey with their families, Chuck and Diane met during their college years. They formed a friendship that later became a relationship. They were married after graduate school and moved frequently while Chuck was serving in the U.S. Army. “We have four children, and they were each born in a different state,” Diane noted. Eventually, the couple and their family settled in the suburbs of Philadelphia, where they still call home. A graduate of Notre Dame, Chuck received his MBA from Columbia and launched a successful career in accounting. After working for several large companies, he spent the bulk of his career serving as the Chief Financial Officer of the UGI Corporation, an energy company as well as a trustee of John Hancock Funds. When their children were older, Diane returned to school and received her Master’s in Library Science. She shared a librarian job with a co-worker for many years before retiring. Throughout his career, Chuck served on several Boards of Directors, including the Dunwoody Village Board. “I joined the Board at Dunwoody because I wanted to learn more about retirement,” he recalled. The Board was not only a great opportunity; it was also an excellent fit. Chuck is still on Dunwoody’s Board of Trustees today. In total, he has served 18 years on the Board, and he was Chairman for 10 of those years. He is extremely proud of the Board’s many accomplishments during his tenure, including doubling the capacity for the care center and expanding rehabilitation offerings to serve individuals living outside the community. The Board also decided to launch the new Penrose project to meet the increasing demand for larger retirement living residences. With such incredible insight into retirement living options and a background in accounting, Chuck carefully pored over the numbers when it came time to plan for his own retirement. “I assessed a lot of actuarial data, and I did
the math. I know that in 10 years, if one of us needs care, the costs could be astounding,” he explained. “A lot of this decision has to do with your tolerance for risk and your understanding of what the future could bring. I always advise people to take a hard look at the math, to consider their children and to plan ahead.” For Chuck and Diane, the decision was obvious. They moved into one of Dunwoody Village’s new Penrose Carriage Homes last year. Their two-story unit features nearly 4,000 sq. ft. and offers a lifestyle that is unparalleled. “I was focused on the math, but the lifestyle is incredibly nice,” Chuck said. Diane added, “This community is so friendly, and the residents are so welcoming. It has been really easy to get to know a lot of people.” Chuck and Diane are enjoying a lifestyle that is financially stable and socially satisfying. Weighing their financial, personal and social needs helped the Ladners create a simple formula that yielded the right answer for their retirement. Now, they are benefiting from doing the math.
Now settled into their new house in Dunwoody Village’s Penrose Carriage Homes, Chuck and Diane Ladner are enjoying a lifestyle that is financially stable and socially satisfying.

HOW TO
understand estate planning and probate
elder law attorneys can help
E
state planning means much more than preparing a Last Will and Testament or tax planning for the disposition of your assets upon your death. Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximize the goals of the estate owner. The goals of estate planning typically include making sure the greatest amount of the estate passes to intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes. Estate planning must also provide for administration and protection of assets during lifetime and for decision-making in the event of a disabling illness. Any complete estate plan should contain: 1. A Last Will and Testament, 2. A durable health care power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate agent) responsible for medical decisionmaking, 3. A living will or other advance directive giving instructions concerning the type of care one wishes to receive (or avoid) in the event of a terminal illness, and 4. A durable financial power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate) responsible for asset and financial management if one is unable to do such things for oneself. Estate planning may also include the
creation of trusts. Estate planning is an opportunity to make wishes known and to determine what person(s) will be responsible for carrying out those directives. You are able to state your preferences concerning the type of care you receive, what types of medical care you do not wish to receive and can authorize someone to act as your agent in carrying out those wishes. Should you fail to do such planning, then there may be confusion as to what your wishes might have been and who you would have preferred to act as your decision-maker. In fact, without such information, your wishes may never be known. If you do not leave a Last Will and Testament, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestate succession in your state. There are laws in each state governing the rights of surviving spouses, heirs and next of kin in the absence of a Last Will and Testament. Probate Probate laws, practice and costs vary from state to state. A qualified Elder Law attorney will be able to advise you as to the probate laws, practices and costs in your state. What You Need To Know In preparing an estate plan, it is essential that all of your assets are consid-
ered. You should do a complete inventory of all that you own before contacting your estate planner. Your estate consists not only of your home, your car and your bank accounts. Your estate also includes the value of life insurance policies, investments that you may own (including those held in joint tenancy with other persons), your IRAs and other retirement accounts, and any other assets over which you can exercise control. It is extremely helpful for you to have a centralized and secured record of all of your financial accounts; insurance policies; credit, debit or loan accounts; safe deposit box; and account IDs and passwords. You will need to make decisions about what to include in your estate plan. First, you should determine who will inherit your property upon your death. You must also be certain that your spouse or heirs are capable of managing financial affairs. If capacity or vulnerability is an issue, you may want to name a trustee to handle financial affairs for him or her. You have to designate an Executor or Personal Representative to administer your estate. An alternate Executor or Personal Representative should also be appointed. Special arrangements may be needed if there are particular family issues, such as a second marriage by either spouse. You will also need to Continued on page 58

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 so long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Whether you get a referral or try someone new, keep your opinions open to change. A friend may have had a good experience, but your case is different and you need to decide for yourself. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the at-
torney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs as well as the attorney’s billing methods. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue and are there alternative courses of action? n What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? n How many attorneys are in the office and who will handle your case? n How long has the attorney been practicing? n What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of elder law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like or similar to yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? If not, who will go to trial for you? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys?
Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n Are fees computed on a flat or hourly rate and how often does the attorney bill? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred (such as copying, postage, court, messenger and phone fees)? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n Will the attorney require a retainer (money placed in a trust account before services are rendered)? n
For more information: www.naela.org or www.nelf.org.
You will want to inquire about an attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional elder law organizations.

the many benefits of adult family mediation n
By Sig Cohen
Families facing disagreements on issues such as caring for aging parents, encouraging an older adult to stop driving, or equitably distributing trust proceeds are increasingly turning to adult family mediation to settle their differences. Having a neutral third party help a family resolve their disputes is more attractive than the delay, cost and distress of litigation. When family members forge a path forward together, there are no winners or losers. As a result, an elder can look forward to his or her family having less rancor and more mutual respect. Adult family mediation offers families the opportunity to air their concerns in a “safe space.” Sessions are confidential. The process is simple: An adult family mediator confers one-on-one with parties before they meet in a “plenary” session. When they convene, the mediator explains how the discussion will move forward. Then the mediator invites each party (or their attorney) to share their concerns and goals. When a mediator facilitates the discussion, it’s more likely that the parties will listen to the other side and speak without interruption. If an exchange becomes too heated, the mediator will suggest taking a break. Throughout the process, family members are challenged to: (1) identify the issues dividing them, (2) come up with options to settle them, and (3) collaboratively carry out the terms of what they’ve agreed to. Mediators do not give legal advice.
They recommend parties seek counsel from a qualified elder attorney. Nor are they therapists. Again, they suggest family members meet with a professional in that field. Mediation is future focused. While the process cannot repair the past, it provides an avenue to more peaceful, cooperative family relations in the future. Mediation also affords family members conflict resolution tools, so they can settle future disputes without a neutral third party. Once they’ve successfully settled

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

your IRA can affect your medicaid eligibility n
By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law
When you are planning for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home, it’s important to take any IRAs you own into account. Medicaid applicants can keep only a small amount of resources (usually $2,400) in order to be eligible for benefits. Certain resources may be exempt from this rule. Whether your IRA is exempt often depends on whether it is in “payout status.” You can put your IRA into payout status starting at age 59½ if you elect to take regular, periodic distributions based on life expectancy tables. At age 70½, you are required to put your IRA into payout status. The rules vary from state to state, but often, if an IRA is in payout status, it will not count as a resource for Medicaid purposes. The payments you receive from the IRA will count as income, though. Medicaid recipients are allowed to keep a small amount of income for personal use, and the rest will be paid to the nursing home. If your IRA is not in payment status and you are the nursing home resident applying for Medicaid, it will typically count as a resource. However, your spouse’s IRA, if he or she is not applying for Medicaid, will not count as an available resource; it is exempt. Roth IRAs have their own rules. Usually, since they have no required minimum distribution, Roth IRAs count as a resource if you are applying for Medicaid. The rules regarding IRAs and Medicaid are complicated, which is yet another reason why it is good to consult an elder law attorney whenever you are planning for nursing home admission.

list any specific gifts you want to make to family or non-family members and/or to charities. Once these decisions are made and your inventory is completed, your attorney will be able to advise you as to the best technique to use in planning your estate. You should consider your preferences concerning health care options and decide who will be your decision-makers, and do the same with regard to your finances in the event of a disability. Finally, you should give thought to the difficult questions of what type of care you would want or not want in the event of terminal illness. If you have special desires concerning disposition of your remains, such as burial in a certain place or possible cremation, these should be brought up during your planning conference as well. These are complicated and personal issues. The advice of a qualified Elder Law attorney is essential to protect your financial health and welfare and to ensure that your health care wishes are known and carried out. The Role of the Elder Law Attorney Elder Law attorneys who specialize in estate planning are trained and experienced with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives or living wills and the intricacies of estate and inheritance taxes.

such products. As a result, you are more likely to get thorough and unbiased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with a complete plan for obtaining care, transferring assets and carrying out all of the client’s wishes. In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. Be certain to assure yourself that the attorney you choose has such experience and training. Attorneys will ask clients for a great deal of information and will request original documents such as deeds, account statements and insurance policies. It is the attorney’s role to assure that all of the elements of the estate plan are properly handled and
reviewing names on titles, beneficiary designations and other similar information is part of thorough planning. All of the information provided to an attorney is, of course, confidential and may not be disclosed to others without your permission.

HOW TO

T
he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision as to where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of.

you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, AM Page 1 take a general tip from freelancers and
independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two! Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret having given away too much too soon, or to have important things lost in the shuffle. Some excerpts from this article used from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).

sort through items Donating or giving away household items (finding new homes for them), or recycling them (finding new uses), can be a frustrating and confusing matter. What can you actually give away, and who will take it? This is often the part of the process where people become the most easily bogged down. The following, from Moving On, discusses a couple of options when you are sorting through your belongings. Donating and Recycling When people want to donate household items, often the first place they think of is one of the major charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America—and for good reason. These agencies are willing to take many of the things we would like to get rid of and put them to good use by either giving them to the needy or selling them in their thrift shops, with the profits going to support their social services programs. Often these organizations will make it even easier
on donors by coming to the home to pick up donated items. And when you give to charitable organizations, your donation is tax deductible. To be considerate when donating, make sure that all clothes are clean and wearable; all appliances are in working order; and anything with multiple pieces, like children’s games or tool sets, have all the parts intact. Exactly which items charities accept varies from organization to organization and from location to location, so it’s best to contact your local outlet for specifics. Some charities post guidelines on their websites for items they will accept. Most charities accept clothing of all types and shoes for men, women and children, as well as costume jewelry and accessories; appliances in working order and household items; televisions, stereos and computers; books, toys and games; and sporting goods. Most do not accept broken appliances, water beds, furniture in bad repair, magazines or old encyclopedias,
bathroom fixtures such as toilets or sinks, tires, paint, swing sets, water heaters, windows or doors. Household items can also be donated to smaller or locally based charities, such as veterans’ associations, churches and synagogues, children’s charities, and programs for the elderly. Community theaters, women’s shelters, prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes also often accept donations of furniture and household goods. You might also inquire at local schools, preschools, day-care centers, art schools, and after-school programs to see if they could use toys, games, books, desks, art supplies or musical instruments. Excerpt from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand, which provides tips to get started, strategies for keeping things in perspective, and extensive listings of where to donate or sell contents of a home.

the basics of de-cluttering n
By Robin Jenks Vanderlip, BA, MC, CMRS, SRES, LUX, Professional Realtor
S
ometimes life’s most embarrassing moments lead us to take action. An injured raccoon started visiting my bird feeders, which led to him exploring my garage for more food. Noticing he was there, I shut the garage door and locked him in. The animal control officers had been to my house the day prior trying to catch him with no luck. I thought it would be a great opportunity to catch this raccoon and it was, except for the fact that I had a lot of clutter and “JUNK” piled up to one side of my garage, which had to be moved. Is it easier to function in a cluttered space than to take the time to clean it up? When you think about de-cluttering your house, do you get overwhelmed? I do, and to be honest, when I go someplace, especially a home for sale that has stuff all over, I get distracted. One of the most challenging tasks is letting go of things. Think about letting go of stuff like this; “I am choosing to determine what happens to____________________.” From here, it goes to donation, garbage, someone else, etc. It is easier to give things away than to throw things away because we are taking control of the final destination.
Ways to De-Clutter: • Fill a bag once a week (or more often) • Set benchmarks. For exampleo Complete a room/space a day. Spaces can include: kitchen drawers, kitchen cabinets, pantry, refrigerator, freezer, under sink, spice cabinet, books (including cookbooks), laundry room, coat closet, bathroom cabinets, office, magazines, china cabinet, bedrooms, jewelry box, medicine closet, media storage, holiday decorations, tool bench, garage, trunk of the car, etc. • Make some rules for yourself in the form of questions, so you have to be honest with yourself. o “Have I worn/used this within the last two years?” If no, let it go… o “Why am I keeping it?” If you don’t
Live well with us at Frederick Living!
immediately know, let it go… o “Does this item have a place that it goes?” If no, let it go… Think about some of the opportunities you have. Buy some empty toolboxes and place duplicate tools in them to give away to your grandchildren. It can be really fun to build something like a birdhouse or doghouse together. Or, open a cookbook and make some chocolate chip cookies from scratch and send some cookies and the cookbook home. You can even take this to another level by texting or posting a picture with them on social media. When it comes to clothes and shoes, if you purge out what does not fit or you don’t like/wear, you have room for more. As you clean out your jewelry box, think about who would enjoy a pin or beads before you sell the gold and silver. Finally, if you are going to store things, label them and systematically put them away over the next few months OR slowly start placing items in a box designated to “find a new home.” Clutter is the ultimate time bandit. Your time is valuable to you, so why spend it moving stuff around and being held back by things blocking your way? Let clutter go! You will be free from stress, and you won’t have to clean and organize.

housing preferences of boomers Based on a nationwide survey of recent and prospective home buyers conducted in 2015, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) new study, Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation: How They Compare to Other Home Buyers, discusses how various designs influence the home purchase decision. The study also covers the location, features and size of the homes consumers want, and the influence of certain events and people on the decision to move to another home. “This survey is a great resource for building professionals, as it provides an inside look at the things boomers, and other generations, are looking for in today’s homes,” said Rose Quint, NAHB’s Assistant Vice President for Survey Research, and one of the study’s authors. “As the housing market continues to recover, more consumers are in the position to purchase a home, and it’s important for builders to have this knowledge about their customers.” Here are some of the findings on what
home buyers want: • The majority of all buyers (65%), and boomers in particular (63%), would like to buy a single-family detached home. • Most home buyers (64%) prefer a single-story home, but there is great variation by generation: Millennials (35%), gen X’ers (49%), boomers (75%) and seniors (88%). • Fifty-eight percent of home buyers want a full or partial basement, but the preference declines with age: Millennials (77%), gen X’ers (67%), boomers (50%) and seniors (43%). • When asked if they would buy a home without a living room, 37% of buyers say they would, 42% would not and 21% are not sure. The share of buyers willing to part with this formal space falls steadily with age: Millennials (43%), gen X (40%), baby boomers (37%) and seniors (26%). And here are some of the findings on what most buyers do not want: • Few buyers (8%) or boomers (7%) prefer a central city location. About twothirds prefer a home in the suburbs (close-
in or outlying) and just over a quarter prefer a rural area. • Only 14% of buyers overall (and 13% of boomers) are willing to pay more for a home out of pure concern for the environment. Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation is available for purchase ($149.95 retail/$79.95 NAHB member, ISBN 9780-86718-748-9) at BuilderBooks.com or by calling 800-223-2665.

Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed Continued on page 64

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.

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

Aging Life Care Managers have diverse experiences, credentials and backgrounds. Many are licensed in their state in specific fields (such as nursing or social work). Aging Life Care Managers may call themselves professionals, consultants, advisors or by other titles. All care managers do not specialize in all areas of aging life care. When looking for a care
manager, find out his/her areas of expertise. You will want to hire someone who regularly handles clients with needs similar to yours. Aging Life Care Managers who primarily work with older adults bring more to their practice than an expertise in geriatrics. They bring a deep knowledge of aging issues that allows them and their staff to overcome the myths related to aging and focus on the problems at hand. At the same time, they have tremendous experience working with resources in your community. They are fully aware of real life problems, health and otherwise, that emerge as individuals age and the tools that are available to address those issues. They are also connected with a community of social workers, nurses, psychologists, elder law attorneys, advocates, and other elder care professionals who may be of assistance to you.
QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN LOOKING FOR AN AGING LIFE CARE MANAGER It is important for consumers to ask questions. Some of these include:
•W hat are the primary services provided by your agency/ business? •H ow many Aging Life Care Managers are in your agency/ business? • I s there a fee for the initial consultation and, if so, how much? •W hat are your professional credentials? •A re you licensed in your profession? •H ow long have you been providing aging life care or care management services?

the keys to healthy living By Dr. Vivek Sinha
W n
e hear about “health” all the time. Television, radio, magazine articles, even friends and family have no shortage of tips and advice on how to get healthy. If one were to follow all that advice, then they would be hopping from one fad diet to another, cutting out carbs, sugar and gluten and running from gym to gym wearing nothing but the highest end sport shoes. So what is the safest, most effective way to improve your health? The answer varies by the person; for example, an 85-year-old man will have different needs than a 25-year-old woman. But there are some general points that are applicable across all patients. First, define what “health” means for you. Do you want to reduce or hopefully end your need for blood pressure medications? Do you want to be able to fit into smaller sized jeans? Do you want to keep up with your grandkids or run that 10K? Or do you simply want to feel better and hopefully live longer? After my patient has defined their goal, I usually spend some time obtaining objective data. Height and weight, blood
pressure, heart rate, cholesterol level, sugar level and a detailed medical history are just a few of the data points that physicians use to risk stratify their patients. Occasionally, if a patient’s numbers are very abnormal, they may need intervention (medications, cardiac clearance, etc.) prior to starting exercise. Second, getting healthier takes a planned approach that involves at least one lifestyle change. I usually advise my patients to prepare for a lifestyle change like they are preparing to go into battle. Formulate a game plan, gather your resources and have a start date. Tell your friends, family and coworkers about your plan, so they can keep you honest and motivated. Ideally, find someone to join you — helping someone else is a fantastic way to help yourself. Thirdly, exercise is essential. People may say that if you simply change the way you eat, you will lose weight. But not only will exercise jumpstart that weight loss, it also will help keep the weight off. I advise my patients to get a calendar, and each Sunday, circle the five days of the week when they will work out. They should also weigh themselves each morning and write that number on the corresponding date. One basic rule of exercise: do an activity that makes you sweat and do it for

at least 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, health cannot be achieved without proper nutrition. We need the appropriate fuel to think clearly and function at peak level. One of the worst things that we can do is to skip breakfast. When people skip breakfast, the body has to get its fuel from muscle and not from fat. Six small meals a day maximize your metabolism. I advise patients to eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal. Ultimately, getting healthier is a journey. This journey takes commitment, but you do not have to take it alone. Talk to your doctor. They will provide plenty of practical, personalized advice on getting healthier. By working with your primary care physician, you can reach your goal safely and effectively. Dr. Vivek Sinha is the chief medical officer at Belleview Medical Partners.

supplementing your medicare coverage n
By Susan Morisato

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

attained-age rating means your plan’s monthly rate will increase each year as you age, so it’s important to ask the company about their rate increase history for the plan you are considering. Lastly, see what “extras” may be offered to you by the provider if you enroll in their plan. While companies cannot alter the federally mandated benefits of Medicare supplement plans, they can offer you additional value-added features, such as free or discounted access to certain health and well-being services. Your Health Status You’ll also want to consider the potential difficulty of enrolling in the plan you want. Some Medicare supplement carriers underwrite all of their plans, while others underwrite only a select few. If a plan is underwritten, the status of your health at the time of enrollment is used to determine your eligibility for the plan and may also affect your rate. The best time to purchase a Medicare supplement plan is during your open enrollment period, which is the six-month

period beginning on the first day of the month in which you are both age 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. If you apply for a Medicare supplement plan during this window, your acceptance is guaranteed into the plan of your choice, regardless of your health status. 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. For more information about Medicare supplement insurance, contact your state’s insurance department or visit MedicareMadeClear.com. You can also visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048. Susan Morisato is president of UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement Insurance Solutions.

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

Find Comfortable Shoes Comfortable, sturdy shoes that have non-slip soles are key to preventing falls. Many fall-related injuries happen when people wear poor-fitting shoes, flip flops or slippers, or walk around barefoot. These small changes can have a big impact on your balance and help you walk without fear. The Nazareth Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance can help determine the cause of your dizziness and provide strategies to help decrease the symptoms and improve your balance. The Balance Program is located at Nazareth Hospital Outpatient Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance at 8113 Roosevelt Blvd. (Holme Avenue and the Boulevard). For more information, call 215.335.3954.

U niversa l Design
Universal Design
Creating spaces designed for convenience, safety and economy Universal design is a method of designing and remodeling buildings and products to make them more inclusive. These carefully designed spaces and items are more accessible for older people and people with disabilities, as well as for people without disabilities. Universal design concepts can be applied throughout the home environment to make the space safer and more accessible for all occupants.
Stairways The optimal home would have all living areas on one level with no stairs. However, most homes in the region feature living areas on multiple levels which makes the stairway a critical element of design. Some solutions include: n Adequate
grip rails on both sides that extend beyond the landings n Lighting on and around the stairway n Contrasting
colors to provide visual cues n Floor treads n Chair lifts, platform lifts, elevators
Bathrooms A well-designed bathroom starts with ample lighting and non-slip surfaces. Additional features can be incorporated that can make your experience in the bathroom enjoyable and safe including: n
Motion-sensing lighting n Open storage shelves and hooks n Telephone and intercom system by the toilet n Adjustable
height showerhead n Removable transfer seat into a bathtub n Low/no threshold shower n Molded-in or fold-down seat in shower n Elevated toilet or adjustable toilet seat n Auto-flush toilet n Grab bars n Height-adjustable or English style rollunder sink n Lever handle or motion-sensing faucets n Tilting mirrors to improve visibility
Kitchens Well designed kitchens can accommodate the different heights and abilities of family members or visitors to the home. Some designs and products to consider include: n Varying
counter heights n Elevated dishwasher n Roll-out & pull-down shelves n Swiveling cabinet doors with lazy Susan
style shelving n Rolling carts
n
Dark and light colors for visual contrast n Pull-out countertops below ovens n Side-by-side
refrigerator n Knee space underneath cook tops and sinks n Front control touchpad appliances n Heat-proof surfaces n
Eliminating sharp corners n Additional lighting including under-cabinet lighting n Ergonomic utensils & products
“We’ve lived, laughed and loved in our home for more than 30 years. I never thought our own bathroom would become the source of such worry. As Bill got older, he had trouble lifting his legs over the sides of the tub, and I was afraid he would fall and hurt himself. That’s when I called P.J. Fitzpatrick Bath Solutions. Their tub to shower conversion along with their safety package, that places handrails and even a seat in the shower, took the worry out of our day. We’re not worried anymore about not being able to stay in the home where we raised our family. Thanks PJ!” — PJ Fitzpatrick Client 80

A Haven for History and Art The 3,500-acre Valley Forge National Historical Park is the jewel of Montgomery County. Over 2,000 soldiers died at Valley Forge, but no battles were ever fought. In 1777, Gen. George Washington chose to make a winter encampment for his troops in the valley. Safe from attack, the soldiers expected to spend the winter regrouping after several devastating losses. However, no sooner were Washington’s stone headquarters completed than the troops began to suffer the ravages of hunger and disease, all while battling the assaulting forces of nature. Today, visitors can explore Washington’s restored headquarters and see the National Memorial Arch. An interactive exhibit on Washington is also featured, as well as replica log huts and monuments to the soldiers’ immense sacrifices. Many visitors enjoy the park’s bucolic setting as much as its historic significance. Valley Forge features rolling hillsides and sparkling streams. Springtime in the park brings an explosion of blooms, from dogwoods to mountain laurel. In the fall, visitors will delight in the beautiful colors of the season.

Virtual Tours of County Landmarks Enhancing the Visitor Experience with New Technology

he Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board (VFTCB) is changing the way visitors view Montgomery County attractions. The VFTCB in southeastern Pennsylvania was looking for a new way to showcase Montgomery County attractions for a new generation of visitors who prefer to access information on the go through smart phones and tablets. With the introduction of MontCo 360, potential visitors can now explore 360-degree views of parks, museums, hotels, restaurants, malls and other unique attractions. The partnership with Google combines technologies like Street View and advanced cameras to give visitors a way to walk through interior rooms as well as outdoor landscapes. For the first time, users of the site can now be in total control of viewing where they want to go and what they want to see before they step foot in Montgomery County. The VFTCB is the first in the region to use Google’s services to this extent. “The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words no longer ap-
plies to modern digital marketing,” explained Edward Harris, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for VFTCB. “Today, people want to see and experience more when they visit a website. With MontCo360.net, we’re offering over 30 virtual tours to enable visitors to walk through and explore a handful of our most popular attractions before they arrive in person.” A nontraditional vantage point created by drones brings users above the rooftops of the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, Peter Wentz Farmstead in Worcester and the Philadelphia Premium Outlets in Limerick. The county’s magnificent open spaces are also presented from great heights, with views of Green Lane Park and the Germantown Academy athletic fields. The VFTCB’s name may reflect Valley Forge, but its marketing scope covers all 487 square miles of Montgomery County, a region whose landscapes range from bustling urban centers to wide open natural vistas. As a center for history, art, culture, shopping, familyfriendly activities, a vivid dining scene, an appealing brewery/winery vibe and
a host of well-appointed hotels, the county was the perfect setting for an all-encompassing approach to attracting visitors. When exploring the King of Prussia Mall on MontCo 360, visitors can step inside the tech-savvy Tesla Motors store and experience what it’s like to sit in the driver’s seat of one of their premium electric cars. Parents looking for a place to take their kids to unwind can click on Arnold’s Family Fun Center located in Oaks, Pa., and click to walk through the massive arcade and see the bowling alley and indoor go-kart tracks. There are also plenty of hotels and restaurants to explore as well as Manatawny Still Works, a popular distillery located in Pottstown, Pa. that you can tour virtually before you arrive.

The Art of Appreciation

r. Harold “Hal” and Linda Robinson both have had a lifelong passion for art. New residents of Waverly Heights, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Gladwyne, Pa., the Robinsons are also true masters of appreciation—whether they are analyzing art or enjoying retirement. Born in Philadelphia, Hal attended the University of Pennsylvania for both his undergraduate studies and medical school. He began his residency at Bryn Mawr Hospital, where his career as a cardiologist spanned decades. He retired as the Chief of Cardiology at Bryn Mawr Hospital in 1999. Five years before his retirement, Hal began pursuing his second career as a professional artist. “I dabbled in art most of my life, but I was never trained,” he said. “I started taking night classes to develop a portfolio, so I could apply to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Harold “Hal” and Linda Robinson wanted to move to a retirement Arts.” Hal was accepted into the Acad- Dr. community and give up the burdens of home ownership, so they could emy and launched an exceptional new continue to focus on other things—like their mutual love of art. career as a painter.

After seeing Linda at a dance at the University of Pennsylvania, Hal recalled, “I knew that I wanted to marry her from the first moment.”
Having always taught literature, she now realized that she could not teach the humanities in isolation. Linda developed an innovative Humanities Curriculum that combines literature, history, art and music into one course of study. “I am immensely proud that I was able to leave this legacy to the school,” said Linda. “They are still using my program today, and it is now one of their selling points.” Since retiring, Linda has remained active with The Barnes Foundation. She was one of the first members of the organization’s docent program and still gives tours frequently. She is also now an instructor in the adult education program that was so instrumental in her life. Several years ago, the Robinsons began to consider their retirement living options. “We started to think about eliminating the burdens of home ownership and planning for the future,” Hal recalled. After looking at several communities in the Philadelphia area, the couple realized that one clearly stood out. “No other community that we looked at even compared to Waverly. From the beautiful setting to the amazing staff, this place really is far beyond comparison,” Linda said. While moving from their longtime family home was challenging, the Robinsons have quickly settled into their new life at Waverly. “The process of selling our home of more than 40 years and preparing to move was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was really an ordeal,” said Hal. “However, it was quickly overshadowed by the wonderful experience of moving 90

to Waverly.” Since their move a little over a month ago, the Robinsons have received a warm welcome from Waverly’s staff members and residents alike. The couple has been invited to countless parties and already made several new friends. They have also reunited with some residents they met during Hal’s previous art shows at the community. During his June show at Waverly, Hal asked Linda to give a presentation on art appreciation. “It was amazing,” he remembered. “She was in a room doing what she does so unbelievably well, and the room was filled with my paintings.” The Robinsons have dedicated much of their lives to the love and appreciation of art. However, it is their admiration for each other, their gratitude for the community they call home, and the pleasure they take in living life to the fullest every day that really makes them remarkable. “We can’t overemphasis how gratified we are to be here,” concluded Hal. “It’s like living in an arboretum. Every aspect of this community and the people who live and work here have made this phase of our lives beautiful.” Hal and Linda may be Waverly Height’s newest residents, but they are already among its most vocal proponents. Between them, the Robinsons have a considerable amount of experience studying and analyzing. They know a good thing when they see it—whether it is a timeless work of art or a world-class retirement lifestyle—and they are not afraid to share their appreciation.

Always a Teacher By Christy Brudin

eaching is not just a job, or even a profession. For the great practitioners of the trade, teaching is a calling—a calling to learn, to educate, and above all, to inspire. Charles “Charlie” Scanzello heeded the call to the classroom early. He became a Professor of Music at Kutztown University in 1970. Today, his classes are smaller and less formal, but no less inspired. Now a resident at The Oaks, a senior living community specializing in memory impairment operated by Genesis HealthCare, Charlie leads both music and poetry classes for his fellow residents. Located on the outskirts of Philadelphia in Wyncote, Pa., The Oaks offers secured dementia care in a nurturing, home-like environment. As part of the Genesis HealthCare network, The Oaks is backed by the largest long-term care provider in the United States. Charlie had a long and successful career at Kutztown University from 1970 to 1996. After retiring, he had more time to devote to writing poetry, and he has always been eager to share his talents. “He is always playing or writing,” said his wife, Angela Scanzello. “Charlie has always been a performer, and he just loved being in the classroom, and he loves having an audience now at The Oaks.” Charlie and Angela Scanzello met on a blind date set up by his brother-in-law. The young couple visited an exhibit on Italian commercial art at the University of Pennsylvania. That blind date led to a brief courtship and a long marriage.

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

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

options by perusing the brochures, schedule a visit to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. If you attended college or had to consider employment in a new area, remember the criteria you used in making that decision. This is no different. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.
Independent living you can depend on.
It’s an age when we’re living longer and looking to live life to the fullest. At Ashbridge Manor Senior Living you’ll have everything you need to help you do that... transportation, housekeeping, nutritious meals, engaging activities and entertainment... all right here! And with our indoor pool, fitness classes and exercise room you can stay vital and strong. We also provide wellness services such as visiting physicians, an emergency call system and home care services that will allow you to continue enjoying your independence.

HOW TO
receive care for life
continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and
regular monthly payments. There are three basic types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive
care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities. While emergency and short-term nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life and assess the management’s philosophy and their relationship with residents.

HOW TO
understand entrance fees
knowing the options when paying for ccrcs Most CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement
declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. Full refunds offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are par-

what questions to ask about fees 1. Are there financial deposits for which I am responsible? If so, what is the refund policy if I decide not to move to the community? 2. What types of service contracts or agreements are available in this community? 3. How much is the current entrance fee? Are there plans to increase the amount of this fee in the future? 4. Is there a structure for refund or rebate of entrance fees? If so, what is the time period in which the refund/rebate
can be granted, and when and under what conditions will the refund/rebate be paid? 5. What services are included in the monthly fee? 6. What are the costs for additional services? 7. How does the organization determine how often and by how much fees will be raised? 8. Over the last few years, what has been the history of monthly fee increases? How frequently have fees been raised and
by what percent each time? Why were the fees increased? 9. How will I be notified of changes in the fee structure? 10. If I require more services or move to a different level of care, how will that affect my monthly fee? 11. What happens if I encounter financial difficulty?

R e a l-L i f e Story
G
ary and Susan, both retired educators, moved from Doylestown, PA to Cornwall Manor Retirement Community in Lebanon County in 2013. “After being involved with both family and friends who waited too long and then were too overwhelmed to make plans and decisions, we knew we wanted to make a different choice and move right after we retired. We investigated a number of options, but Cornwall Manor stood out as the best. Once we decided on Cornwall Manor, we were anxious to move in and that proved to be one of our best decisions. The sense of freedom in living here is so refreshing. Our home is perfect for us and the people, both residents and staff, are consistently wonderful. There are many different programs, activities and volunteer opportunities from which to choose.
Gary & Susan Bitner in their Woods Home at Cornwall Manor
We can be as active (or inactive) as we want. Our children are happy for us. We were committed to the move, but
living at Cornwall Manor has far exceeded our expectations.” The Bitners moved so they could enjoy the opportunities available to them at Cornwall Manor (Gary is a runner and enjoys the wooded trails, and Susan volunteers for a variety of activities.) Cornwall Manor has a variety of lifestyle options on our beautiful 200 acre campus – from new homes at The Woods and new Carriage House apartments to single and duplex homes and apartments on the Buckingham Campus. And if health care is ever needed, there is a Visiting Physicians Office, home health care, outpatient therapy, personal care and a skilled nursing center for short-term rehab and long term needs. Cornwall Manor residents have priority access to our 5-star rated Health Center.

a guide to choosing the right contract n By Kelly Hagler You want to move to a senior living community, but that’s just the first of many decisions you’ll need to make. No matter which community you move to, you’ll have to sign a contract that stipulates the services you’ll receive and what you’ll pay—now and down the road. This guide can help you navigate the different contracts you may encounter as you embark on your search for a new home. Continuing care retirement communities offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This setting is generally attractive to seniors who like to plan ahead. CCRCs are most useful for seniors who can come in at the independent living level and move through higher levels of care as needed over time. “The CCRC is a promise of future care, inclusive of the various levels,” says Marc Herrera, vice president of skilled nursing administration and risk management at be.group, an operator of Southern California retirement communities. “All other types of senior living are month-to- month arrangements.” Most CCRCs are nonprofit organiza-
tions with business models surrounding a mission of senior care and service, says Daniel S. Ogus, executive vice president and chief operating officer at be.group. All levels of care in a CCRC are usually provided by the same management. CCRC contracts are more complex than other types of senior living agreements because they offer more services. There are three common types of CCRC agreements that typically secure longterm living accommodations, services and health care for residents. 1. Type A (Life Care Agreements)— According to the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited health-related services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements)— As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services.
Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower entrance fee than Type A, the CARF cautions that, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements)—Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says Herrera. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care. Steps before you sign Regardless of the environment you choose, moving to a senior living community is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and even more research.

Here are some important steps to take before signing a contract. 1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. Understand which services are covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services. Understand how they charge for specialized programming and activities.
The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly.
4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a CCRC contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit CCRCs offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources. “Say
someone has lived in the community for 15–20 years and now she cannot afford to pay at that higher level—this program subsidizes her as she continues to live at the same level,” says Herrera. 6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.” 7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 8. Explore, visit, ask questions, repeat. “We want [potential residents] to make the right decision,” says Ogus. “We want them to choose us, but we’d rather them not choose us if it’s not the right decision for them. An unhappy resident can spoil it for the rest of the community. It should be a lifestyle decision, not a sentence.”

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance
What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to

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

ndividuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

I n depen den t Li v i ng an additional monthly monetary benefit provided by the VA for certain Veterans who receive a pension. To be eligible, Veterans must: • Require the help of another person for everyday personal care needs (such as bathing, dressing, or toileting); or • Be bedridden; or • Live in a nursing home and be physically or mentally incapacitated; or • Have poor eyesight (5/200 corrected visual acuity or less in both eyes). The VA also offers a Housebound Allowance to certain eligible Veterans who are restricted to their residence because of a permanent disability. This additional monthly monetary benefit can be used to help pay for needed care services provided in the Veteran’s home. To apply for either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387).

and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, they will be assigned a priority group. If an individual is eligible for more than one priority group, the VA will place them in the highest group for which they are eligible. Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for long-term care in some instances. Long-term care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/ or provide support for managing an ongoing illness. Long-term care, as defined by the VA, may be provided in a person’s home, a community site, residential setting, or nursing home. Eligibility for services covered by the VA are determined based on a Veteran’s need for ongoing treatment, service availability in their area, financial eligibility, priority group status and insurance coverage. Longterm care services may also be covered though Medicare, Medicaid, insurance
or private funds. In some instances, Veterans may be able to use the Aid and Attendance Allowance to cover needed long-term care. The Aid and Attendance Allowance is

is independent living the right choice for you?
S
eniors choose independent living for a variety of reasons. Some older adults feel isolated in their homes and seek out senior living options for the companionship they offer. Others begin to have difficulty maintaining their aging home and opt to move to avoid the hassles of home repair and maintenance. Still others want to be able to participate in a wide variety of activities without having to drive to various locations. The questions below will help seniors and their families determine if an Independent Living community may be the right choice for them. • Do you feel isolated in your home? • Do you find it difficult to get around your neighborhood? • Do you lack relationships with your neighbors? • Do you have difficulty driving? • Do you wish that someone else would drive you to your errands and appointments? • Do you have a hard time getting out of the house? • Do you frequently go for weeks without seeing friends?
• Do you wish you had more of a social life? • Do you miss participating in favorite activities? • Do you find it difficult to run errands alone? • Do you have a difficult time keeping up with home maintenance? • Do you find it challenging to clean your home? • Do you feel unsafe in your home or your neighborhood? • Do you find it hard to climb the stairs into or inside your home? If you answered “yes” to most of the above questions, you may want to consider Independent Living. However, you will also want to consider your current and future health care needs before making a final decision. For instance, if you have a chronic health condition, you may want to consider an Assisted Living community, or a community that offers both Independent Living and higher levels of care on the same campus. • How is your current health? • How is your spouse’s health?
• Do you currently need help with the activities of daily living, including eating, bathing and toileting? • Do you have a chronic health condition? • Are you able to manage your own medications? • Do you make and keep your own doctor’s appointments? • Can you manage your finances on your own? • If you need additional health care later in life, how will you handle that? • Are there higher levels of care available at the community you are considering (or at a sister community)? Carefully review your answers to these questions with your spouse and/or family. Be open and honest about your current and future needs and desires. For many seniors, Independent Living offers the perfect lifestyle—one with no home maintenance or transportation worries and with plenty of social and recreational opportunities. With a wide array of communities available locally, you are certain to find a community that offers you both the independence you desire and the security you need.

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

WHAT DOES
COMMUNITY MEAN TO YOU?
COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS “PEOPLE WITH COMMON INTERESTS LIVING TOGETHER.”
We believe those common interests include security, comfort and socialization with peers. Visit our community and see how much you have in common with our residents. call today for your personal tour! 814-634-0567 www.rarl-bgf.org

HOW TO
pay for assisted living/personal care
know your options when paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs.
Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living/personal care costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.
Area Agencies on Aging can provide information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs for assisted living/personal care.

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

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

should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit. Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They may be able to
provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety.

know the symptoms of alzheimer’s
the alzheimer’s association provides the common signs Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s, a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.

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 – 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate.
of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints. Visit your prospects at different times of day. Talk with residents. Be persistent about getting your questions answered.
Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a sad day for most. Reassurance from family and friends that love and contact will be maintained can ease the transition. The following steps may help lessen the trauma of this change: n Talk about the admission in advance and describe the home in detail. n Visit the home with the prospective resident beforehand and get to know the administration. n Involve the prospective resident as much as possible in the decision-making process. n Decide together what items to bring to What to Look For in Nursing the nursing home. Care n Be available the entire day of admisBefore choosing a home, contact the sion to help settle the resident and provide Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program support.

HOW TO
pay for home care
understanding costs can help with decision making As remaining at home is becoming an increasingly popular option for many, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments and range from $15-$25 per hour. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a 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, Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled care must be ordered by a doctor.

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, I am going to be 65 soon but am still working and covered by my employer plan. I qualify for premium-free Part A, but do not want to take Part B yet. Should I enroll in Part B when I become eligible? – Mia (San Luis Obispo, CA) Dear Mia, The answer to this question depends on your specific situation. Generally speaking, you can delay enrolling in Part B (and not enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)) without incurring a late-enrollment penalty if you are still working or your spouse is still working and you have insurance from that work. Before delaying Part B enrollment, there are a few things you should consider. The first is how and when you will sign up for Part B when your employer insurance ends. Because you are still working, you will be eligible for a Part B Special Enrollment Period (SEP). This enrollment period allows beneficiaries who delay Medicare enrollment while they are covered by their or their spouse’s current employer insurance to enroll later. You will not have to wait for the General Enrollment Period (GEP) that runs from January through March, and you will not have a penalty for delaying enrollment. Your SEP runs from now through eight months after the
month in which you stop working, or If you decide to delay Part B enrollyour insurance ends, whichever comes ment you should call the Social Secufirst. rity Administration at 800-772-1213 or The next thing you should consider is visit a local office to let them know.

the medicare age is still 65 n
By Sandy Johnson
If you’re in your sixties, you probably know that the age to receive full retirement benefits has changed. But it’s important to remember that the age to begin receiving Medicare has not — it is still 65. Even if you have decided to wait until after you are age 65 to apply for retirement benefits, most people should start getting Medicare coverage at age 65. If you would like to begin your Medicare coverage when you first become eligible, we suggest that you apply within three months of reaching age 65. You can do it online in as little as 10 minutes at www.socialsecurity.gov/medicareonly. At the website, you’ll find more than just the online Medicare application. You’ll also find information about Medicare, and have the opportunity to watch some short videos about applying for
Medicare online. One is a family reunion for the cast of The Patty Duke Show. In another, Patty Duke and George Takei go boldly where you should be going — online. Why go online to apply for Medicare? Because it’s fast, easy and secure. You don’t need an appointment and you can avoid waiting in traffic or in line. As long as you have ten minutes to spare, you have time to complete and submit your online Medicare application. People who started receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits before age 65 do not need to apply; they will be automatically enrolled in Medicare. There is no additional charge for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A), since you already paid for it by work-
ing and paying Medicare tax. However, there is a monthly premium for medical insurance (Part B). If you already have other health insurance when you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider whether you want to apply for the medical insurance. To learn more about Medicare and some options for choosing coverage, read the online publication, Medicare, at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10043.html or visit www.Medicare. gov. To learn more about applying for Medicare Only using the online application, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ medicareonly. Sandy Johnson is the Social Security Administration Area Director for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers

1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or

caregivers can legally work in the U.S.?
4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who
is responsible? Remember that many
that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages related to the caregiver(s)
Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n

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

Making A SAFER HOME for Seniors NON-SKID RUGS
Remove throw rugs, use rubber backing or apply double-faced adhesive carpet tape to the backs of all area rugs and runners to prevent slipping. REVIEW MEDICATIONS
The medications you take—and even the foods you eat—can affect your balance. Check with your doctor or pharmacist annually to review your medications and diet plan. Used with permission from The Home Safety Council
HANDRAILS
Install handrails on both sides of all stairways—making sure they extend the full length of the stairway. Also make sure you have lights at the top and bottom of the stairs. BATHROOM SAFETY
Install grab bars in your bathtub or shower stall and near a toilet. Never use towel racks for balance—they can easily come loose, causing a fall. EXERCISE DAILY
Using your muscles helps maintain balance, strength and flexibility. Try Tai Chi, walking, water aerobics or dancing. FOOTWEAR
It’s best to wear thin, non-slip soled shoes, not thick-soled jogging shoes.

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

adult population. For many seniors, falls are the initial injury in what becomes a long hospitalization and recovery process. For others, falls may result in a loss of independence, or in the most severe cases, a loss of life. Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; weightbearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at

least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improvement all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options. Resources The CDC is partnering with several other government agencies to promote a national action plan to prevent falls, which includes research, state grant funding, evaluation projects and information projects. Education efforts have included the development of brochures, posters and a pocket guide for physicians. Information adapted from the Centers for Disease Control.

HOW TO
make aging in place possible
professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life becomes too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing common remodeling projects and on how to combat common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS specialist is that they will draw from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized and thorough plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typical modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS professionals are mostly remodelers, but a number of general
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.
contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was devel-
oped by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP in order to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

K
athy Dovidio and her mother, Maria Lacross, have always been there for one another. It is a bond that was further strengthened with the passing of Kathy’s father and brother. “It’s been just the two of us for quite some time,” said Kathy. A longtime resident of northeast Philadelphia, Pa., Maria worked as a registered nurse at St. John Neumann Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. Having started a family of her own, Kathy moved to the suburbs with her husband and three children. She started researching nearby options for Maria and found a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) that offered an array of activities and convenience for Maria. “One of mom’s favorite things to do is play Bridge and she had a great group to play with there,” said Kathy. During this time, Maria participated in a University of Pennsylvania study focusing on people with mild cognitive impairment.
She discovered she had Frontal Temporal Dementia, which affects executive function, language and behavior, and would impact certain activities, such as driving. Kathy knew immediately she wanted Maria to live with her family. Although she first looked into an adult day program, she quickly decided a home health care company would be a more viable solution. “Over time, it was challenging to work, help my family, and help mom,” said Kathy.
“I felt if I could just get a few hours of help from time to time, it would make things better.” After consulting SourceBook, Kathy found Visiting Angels and has been happy ever since. They started with caregiver visits for a few hours in the evening, but Maria’s increasing confusion posed a concern for her safety. Now attending an adult day program, Maria has a Visiting Angels caregiver to help her get ready in the morning and greet her when she returns home. “What I love about the caregivers is they are very dependable and always accommodating,” said Kathy. “It’s not easy, but they work really well with her.” For Kathy, knowing her mother is able to spend time with her grandchildren and have the support she needs has provided a sense of relief. “I feel I have the utmost quality of oneon-one care; they have simplified my life and I know my mom is safe at home,” she said.

understanding telemedicine a game changer for Senior Health Care
L
arry, a 72-year-old retirement home resident with high blood pressure, is experiencing a host of unpleasant side effects with his latest medication. Through a brief two-way video call, Larry consults with his regular physician, who writes him a new prescription. Going forward, he and his doctor chat weekly via video teleconference to make sure he is adjusting well to the new drug. This regular, personalized interaction allows Larry to get the monitoring he needs while avoiding the hassle of weekly doctor visits. Although the story above is fictitious, scenarios just like this are happening all across the nation in growing frequency. While health care for retirees once meant repeated trips to the doctor’s office, many are now able to receive high-quality medical services without leaving the comfort of home. And it’s all because of telemedicine.
What is telemedicine? Telemedicine (or “telehealth”) is described as “the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status.” This high-tech patient care model is quickly gaining traction as a means for lowering costs while improving health care quality — particularly among aging populations.

Reduced hospital readmissions. The University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville created a telehealth program that combines real-time data with remote patient monitoring (RPM) for those discharged with heart failure, pneumonia, COPD, a recent heart attack, or a hip or knee replacement. When nurses are alerted to any problems via the monitoring system, they contact the patient by phone or, if needed, make an in-home visit. Only a year after instituting the program, the facility saw a reduction in its 30-day readmission to about 10 percent, in contrast with the national average of 17.5 percent.

H o m e H e a lt h C a r e nior living communities reduced the percentage of patients moving into nursing homes from 20 percent to 12 percent. This was achieved by having frail patients wear monitoring devices that alert nurses immediately to a fall via text message, which allows for more rapid intervention. Improved quality of life. One analysis revealed that, compared to conventional home care, home telehealth services improved access to care, patients’ medical conditions, and quality of life. The results of another study showed that a two-month telemedicine program led to lower scores for depression and anxiety in cardiac patients. Patients who participated in the program also had 38 percent fewer hospital admissions and 31 percent fewer readmissions.
tronic glitches, bad weather, slow Internet connections, and other factors. And while confidentiality rules apply to telemedicine just as they do in face-to-face interactions, electronically transmitted information is susceptible to hackers. Patients should understand their legal rights as far as privacy and be sure they know how to use the technology properly. Additionally, although the situation is slowly improving, not all insurers reimburse for telemedicine-based services. Those that do, like Medicare, may provide limited coverage. Perhaps the biggest drawback of telehealth is the most obvious: the inability for a provider to perform a physical exam. Not being able to touch or feel the patient may cause some signs of illness to escape notice. Diagnosing certain conditions may simply not be possible with telemedicine, and may ultimately necessitate an inperson visit.
tremendous promise for our aging population. And providers are catching on: As of 2013, 52 percent of hospitals utilized telehealth services, and another 10 percent were actively beginning to implement them.1 In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) extended Medicare coverage to include seven new telehealth services for beneficiaries in certain regions, giving providers even more incentive to embrace this exciting revolution in health care delivery.

Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information.
While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accessibility for persons in wheelchairs or using walkers. The entire facility should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do
the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother.
