Only the best for you
because the best is all Kensington Senior Living knows how to do Six years ago, a passionate group of lifelong senior living professionals dreamed of building and staffing a residence they’d choose for their own parents, who they love deeply. They wanted to contribute their knowledge and heart to communities that sought to improve the lives of older adults and their families. So they did—in Kensington, MD and Falls Church, VA.
K
ensington Senior Living is a partnership of bighearted leaders who are committed to providing excellence in senior care and housing. Their collective expertise reflects a profound understanding of the adults and families they serve.
The partners develop and lead communities that take senior living to a higher level. They assemble teams of best-in-class professionals who share their vision to make life easier and happier for residents. They design interiors that not only look and feel like a warm home but also make it comfortable and safe for residents to move about. They collaborate with specialty experts for supplemental care, services, entertainment and enrichment. And, they
maintain strong ties to the community by supporting local merchants and cultural initiatives. Kensington Senior Living caters to highly individualized needs and wants by providing a lifestyle continuum— Independent Living for those who prefer more autonomy, Assisted Living for those who need daily light support or 24-hour care, and three unique levels of Memory Care for those who require help managing any stage of memory loss. All options include an uncompromising regard for quality and ongoing commitment to positive change, for which Kensington Senior Living is known. Call or visit the community near you to learn more.

NEW BOOK, FRESH LOOK ometimes you just know it’s time. Time to update those glasses from the 80s, or change that decades old haircut, or even donate that beloved jacket. Turns out, it’s no different with retirement living decisions. When the time is right, you will know. For instance, in this issue’s cover story, you will meet Marilee Shapiro Asher who has made lasting impressions, incredible memories and eye-catching works of art in her 104 years of life. She realized it was time to move, and she found the perfect community at Chevy Chase House (see page 16). At Grand Oaks Assisted Living, residents are encouraged to make time for wellness. Our feature story chronicles how the community’s unique collaborative approach to senior care, which includes direct access to Johns Hopkins Medicine and Sibley Memorial Hospital, is helping residents achieve mental, physical and emotional wellbeing (see page 18). The same holds true for Sourcebook. We recently realized that it’s time for a makeover. While we are immensely proud of how our publication has grown over the years to meet the needs of our readers, we decided to reevaluate our design and our content. In our next issue, we will proudly unveil a new book with a fresh look. For more than 27 years, Sourcebook has been a pioneer in the senior living resources industry. Our objective editorial and comprehensive listings have helped thousands of seniors and families select the best senior living options.

Marilee is the little girl sitting on the table.
Creating a Life By Christy Brudin
S
he has made impressions. She has made memories. And she has made some eye-catching artwork. But above all else, she has created a beautiful—and long—life. Marilee Shapiro Asher is 104 years old. She has seen—and done—a lot in her little over a century. She is now a resident of Chevy Chase House, an independent and assisted living community on Connecticut Avenue in the heart of Washington, D.C. A native of Chicago, Marilee was born into a financially comfortable family. Her grandfather, Moses Harris, founded a salvage company in Chicago along with his four sons. Her father, Frank Harris, was the treasurer for the Chicago House Wrecking Company, which later became the Harris Brothers Company. As her parents’ fifth child, born twenty years after her oldest brother, Marilee was a self-proclaimed “spoiled brat.” She enjoyed the attention she received from her doting parents and her devoted older siblings. The youngest resident of a beautiful mansion in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, Marilee recalls standing on her father’s feet to dance with him in the Victorian parlor. She also remembers dining with her large family in the

beautiful dining room complete with a chandelier made of Tiffany glass. Following the stock market crash of 1929, Marilee recalls that the family’s lifestyle changed. However, she writes in her memoir, Dancing in the Wonder, that while the family’s fortune dwindled, they never suffered like so many others did during the Depression. In fact, Marilee continued to attend the University of Chicago and graduated with a degree in Philosophy in 1933. After working for just a year for the Cook County Social Service, Marilee met her first husband, Bernie Shapiro, at a party. Their whirlwind courtship ended in a wedding at Marilee’s childhood home. The couple went on to have two children, Harvey and Joan. Marilee now has one grandchild. Shortly after marrying and before having children, Marilee came upon what would become her life’s passion: sculpture. “In a WPA [Works Progress Administration] class in a basement of a local school, I discovered sculpture, and I truly fell in love with sculpture. That was it for me.” Marilee’s love for sculpture was surpassed only by her love for her children, who she describes as “the center, the interest, the worry, the pleasure, the ‘raison d’etre’ of my life.” In 1943, Marilee, Bernie and their then three-month old son moved

to Washington, DC, where Bernie worked as a lawyer for the Board of Economic Warfare. When the children were very young, Marilee returned to her artwork and has continued the practice ever since. Bernie passed away when he was 69, and Marilee is grateful that she spent the last seven months of his life caring for and connecting with him. Several years later, she received a phone call that would change her life once again. Robert Asher, a childhood friend who grew up just one block away from Marilee in Chicago, called her one day and asked, simply, “Do you remember me?” She did. Robert had recently purchased a lamp that Marilee made and recognized her name. He decided to reach out to her. Years later, after his first wife passed away, Marilee and Robert began a courtship. They dated for six years before marrying in 1993. Robert and Marilee lived for many years in a home in the Cathedral neighborhood in Washington, DC. When they were in their mid-90s, the couple decide to transition to a retirement community. “We didn’t really have health issues, but we wanted to move someplace where life was more secure,” Marilee recalled. The couple lived in a retirement community in the city for several years until Robert passed away. When the community Marilee, now a widow, was living in closed for renovations, she was shocked and needed to quickly find another quality residence. She turned to Chevy Chase House. She has now been a resident there for 2 years. “The staff is very kind, very nice. I love my apartment,” Marilee says of Chevy Chase House. Chevy Chase House has been serving Washington seniors for 40 years and offers a distinctive living experience. Residents can enjoy high-quality assisted living, independent living or respite care in an outstanding facility. Residents also benefit from a variety of amenities including transportation, housekeeping, maintenance, dining services and nursing care. Coordinated daily activities keep residents active and engaged, including exercise, music, dance, crafts, discussion groups, lectures, informative classes, as well as outings to cultural sites and events in the nation’s capital. “The exercise program is great,” Marilee says. “It is very important to me, and I think it is related to the fact that I’m 104.” Marilee also likes the transportation program, which allows her to get around the city without driving. “I drove until I was about 94, but then I thought I better give it up,” she says. Now she has transportation to take her everywhere she needs to go. Living in a secure building is also important to Marilee. “I grew up during the Capone era in Chicago. I was really not accustomed to feeling relaxed at night no matter where I was,” she recalled. “For a long time, I would wake up and think, ‘What was that?’ I realize now that I live here that I don’t need to worry. That was really big.” Through all the changes in her life, one thing remained constant for Marilee: her art. While she has experimented with many mediums, she truly found herself while sculpting. Marilee recalls in her memoir: “Sculpture is tactile, sensuous, and kinesthetic . . . When one is sculpting, the center

of gravity is in the pelvis. One’s feelings seem to come from the gut …” From her early sculpture exhibits to her more recent exhibits at the now-closed Gallery Plan B, Marilee has shown her sculptures and her prints throughout her life. Her artwork and her beautiful descriptions of it have always made quite an impression. At the age of 88, Marilee began to explore a new, modern medium: digital photography and design. She recalled, “As I moved into my late eighties, physically lifting large, heavy sculptures became out of the question for me.” Marilee enrolled in a class at the Corcoran School of Art and is now a digital artist as well. “I can now work with digital images on the computer, adding an exciting new dimension to my work. I sometimes feel like a genie, because touching one button turns green to blue.” When she turned 100, Marilee decided to record some of her memories for her children. With the help of a nephew and later a cousin, those memories eventually became her autobiography, and Marilee added author to her list of talents. The book is a series of charming vignettes ranging from Marilee’s early childhood in Chicago to her more recent experiences in life, love and art. It is a beautiful piece of art in itself. Marilee has created many things in her more than a century of life. But she is not done. In her studio in her apartment at Chevy Chase House, she continues to inspire and to be inspired—to create a life.

“I am able to help the residents by combining medicine with psychiatry to really understand the person and how they are aging,” Dr. Nowrangi continued. “I deal with emotions and behavior and cognition, as well as biological changes to the brain, to help residents no matter what they are facing.” With the help of Dr. Nowrangi, as well as the onsite geriatrician and nurse practitioner, Louetta has made a smooth transition to her new home at Grand Oaks. “This is so close to home,” said Louetta. “I couldn’t be happier.

HOW TO
prepare to move
roll up your sleeves, or let a professional help
T
he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of. Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your

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

HOW TO
transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices
P
reparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving and setting up a new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing. Preparing to sell or buy It is important that homeowners select a real estate agent who can meet their distinctive needs. The emergence of specialized real estate designations has made the process of choosing an agent easier. Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES) are licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific
guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. After finding a qualified agent, homeowners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home.
Challenges become choices As the challenges of moving fade due to increasingly helpful professionals, people are left with nothing but choices—where to move, when to move, what to take and how to decorate the new home. Individuals considering a move are no longer faced with the difficult questions of how to market their homes and move their belongings, as there is help available every step of the way.

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela. org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask
more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue? n How long has the attorney been practicing?
What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n

how to understand estate planning and probate Estate 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 Continued on page 42

HOW TO
discuss billing methods
understanding the fees and expenses involved
Attorneys may bill weekly, monthly or upon completion of work. Discuss how your attorney charges and how often he/she bills at your initial meeting. It is very important that you understand and feel comfortable in this area. Some attorneys charge by the hour with different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. If this is the case, find out what the rates are. Other attorneys charge a flat fee for all or part of the services, which is not unusual if you are having documents prepared. Your attorney might use Some attorneys charge by the hour with a combination of these methods. different hourly rates for work performed by In addition to fees, most attorneys attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. will charge you out-of-pocket expenses which can include charges for copies, calls and other such costs. Find out if postage, messenger fees, court fees, dis- there will be any other incidental costs. position fees, long distance telephone The attorney may ask for a retainer
(money paid before the attorney starts working on your case). Usually placed in a trust account, the attorney pays himself or herself out of that account each time you are billed. Expenses may be paid directly from the trust account. The size of the retainer may range from a small percentage of the estimated cost to the full amount. Ask that your arrangement with an attorney be put in writing either in a letter or formal contract that states the attorney’s services and what the fee and expense arrangement will be. Even if the agreement is oral, you are responsible for all charges for work done by the attorney and his/her staff.

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, practices 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 considered. 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

The Role of the Elder Law Attorney Elder Law attorneys who specialize in estate planning are trained and experienced with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives or living wills, and the intricacies of estate and inheritance taxes. They may recommend accounting services, financial planners or insurance purchases, but they do not earn their fees by selling such products. As a result, you are more likely to get thorough and unbiased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with a complete plan for caring for yourself or a loved one, transferring assets, and carrying out all of a clients’ wishes. In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), founded in 1987, is a national association of Elder Law Attorneys devoted to the education and training of attorneys who can meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, and who advocate for the needs of such individuals. The content of this article was originally published in a NAELA brochure and is being reprinted with permission. For more information, please visit, www.NAELA.org.

It is extremely helpful for you to have a centralized and secured record of all of your financial accounts; insurance policies; credit, debit or loan accounts; safe deposit box; and account IDs and passwords. You will need to make decisions about what to include in your estate plan. First, you should determine who will inherit your property upon your death. You must also be certain that your spouse or heirs are capable of managing financial affairs. If capacity or vulnerability is an issue, you may want to name a trustee to handle financial affairs for him or her. You have to designate an Executor or Personal Representative to administer your estate. An alternate Executor or Personal Representative should also be appointed. Special arrangements may be needed if there are particular family issues, such as a second marriage by either spouse. You will also need to list any 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.

Ag i n g L i f e C a r e The Aging Life Care Association™ (ALCA) developed the standards of practice and code of ethics to guide Aging Life Care Professionals™ in their daily professional and business practices. Additional information, as well as the full code, is available on ALCA’s website: aginglifecare.org.
THE CODE OF ETHICS PROVIDES: Accountability to our Clients ALCA members recognize diversity in our society and embrace a multi-cultural approach to support the worth, dignity, potential and uniqueness of each client. The Code of Ethics acknowledges the vulnerable population we serve and makes explicit the highest standards of practice. Accountability to the Public The Code of Ethics sets a national standard for the professional practice of Aging Life Care™. It defines for the public the ethical responsibilities expected of ALCA’s members and the organization’s role in maintaining the highest standards of practice and promotion of ethical behavior. Education of Aging Life Care Professionals ALCA recognizes the diversity of the experience and education of its members and the needs of members for guidance in both their professional and business roles, and thus the Code of Ethics was developed to guide members in each of these
roles. It states the core values and principles to current and future members, to the public, and to allied professionals. All members of ALCA are expected to understand and behave in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the Code of Ethics. A Framework for Analyzing & Resolving Ethical Dilemmas The Code of Ethics offers a framework for ethical decisionmaking when conflicts arise in either the practice or the business of Aging Life Care. It assists Aging Life Care Professionals in examining the ethical issues present in all aspects of their work by identifying what principles need to be considered and how to prioritize them when it is necessary to make a choice. It asks Aging Life Care Professionals to be aware of their own biases as they seek to resolve ethical dilemmas. Continued on page 46

Ag i n g L i f e C a r e The expertise of Aging Life Care Managers can be summarized into 8 knowledge areas. They include: Health and Disability - Aging Life Care Managers attend doctor appointments and facilitate communication. These professionals help determine types of services – including home health and hospice – that are right for a client and assist in engaging and monitoring those services. Financial - Services may include reviewing or overseeing bill paying or consulting with a client’s accountant or Power of Attorney. Housing - Aging Life Care Managers help families and clients evaluate and select the appropriate level of housing or residential options. Families - Aging Life Care Managers help families adjust, cope and problem-solve issues surrounding long-distance and in-home caregiving. Local Resources - Aging Life Care Managers know the local resources in their communities like the back of their hands and know how services are accessed. Advocacy - Aging Life Care Managers are strong and effective advocates for clients and their families, promoting the client’s wishes with health care and other providers, ensuring that client’s needs are being adequately addressed. Legal - Aging Life Care Managers refer to legal experts, like elder law attorneys, estate planners, and Powers of Attorney. Crisis Intervention - Aging Life Care Managers offer crisis intervention when it is needed. For families that live at a distance, this can be a muchneeded 24/7 emergency contact.

HOW TO
get help managing money
stop watching those statements and bills pile up
O
lder adults frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical bills are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers (DMMs) can help manage these concerns by monitoring their client’s accounts and outstanding bills, while also protecting against identity theft. What is Daily Money Management? Daily Money Management is a service that addresses an issue facing many senior citizens: handling paperwork that seems to expand endlessly. Daily Money Managers provide personal financial assistance to seniors, usually in the client’s home, while simultaneously safeguarding the valuable identity they’ve worked a lifetime to establish. What services does a Daily Money Manager offer?
They offer an array of services, which include balancing checkbooks, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. This kind of record keeping provides peace of mind for the client and, in some cases, for their family. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance providers have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health is identity protection. Several firms offer identity theft protection, fraud protection and other security-related services for seniors. “Seniors have a lot to lose, and often don’t have the background or tools to recognize or spot fraudulent activity quickly enough,” said David Poulos, Chief Marketing Officer of Senior Guardian Services based in Baltimore. “We can give seniors peace of mind by paying their routine invoices for them, reviewing bank statements, reviewing marketing offers and other incoming mail, and protecting them from being

exploited.” Additionally, DMMs can help with income tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions that often mean the client will pay lower taxes each year. How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend or colleague are a good place to start. If necessary, contact your local Area Agency on Aging for suggestions. The American Association of Daily Money Managers’ website (www. aadmm.com) can also provide valuable information that will help you find a reliable DMM. Once you have found a DMM you are interested in hiring, it is a good idea to ask about their experience and qualifications. It is especially important to know whether your DMM is bonded and insured. You also want to determine how the DMM you plan to hire bills for their work.

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.

evaluating physicians who offer house calls a guide for patients and families n By Eric Baron, MD
F
or every individual in a nursing home, there are three more people equally fragile and infirm living at home, according to the American Academy of Home Care Physicians (AAHCP). Physicians and medical groups specializing in house calls have become increasingly available to such patients. If you are unable to visit your own physician, house call physicians who come to your home can provide consultations to your doctor or serve as your private doctor. Because of changes in medical technology, a physician can come to your home with portable medical equipment and provide high-quality medical care. When it comes to finding a potential house call physician, Alan Dappen, MD with doctalker, recommends two methods - research and referrals. “The AAHCP is the largest house call organization in the country, and its website lists physicians in the academy by state and locality,” he says. “There are also hundreds of organizations that provide services to the elderly and many of them know physicians in the area that can do house calls.” Though there is a greater need for these physicians as more individuals prefer to age in place, Dappen says the options are

unfortunately limited in the Fairfax, Va., area. He and the medical team of doctalker have formed a transitional medical business model by emphasizing the doctor/patient relationship and making themselves available by phone 24/7 and performing house calls as requested. “More than 50 percent of the time, I can get you what you need immediately by phone,” says Dappen. “We’re creating a model where the doctor has the best information and can look things up instantly, whether it is a doctor you can consult, a lab you’d want to use, or the side effects of a drug.”
• Do you have a medical director and, if so, is the medical director present every day? • Are you Board-certified? “One of the easiest and most useful measurements of a physician is whether they are Board-certified,” says Dappen. “That way, you know they’re keeping up with their education and taking an exam every several years to remain certified.” If the physician answers "no" to any of these questions, however, you should consider calling your local Area Agency on Aging before letting the physician into your home.
Finding the Best Physician A higher quality of medical care results from good physicians who are well-supervised. With the following information, you can evaluate physicians specializing in house calls, so that you will be able to get the best physician possible to visit your home. To protect yourself and your family, it is vital to learn how to recognize poorlysupervised medical groups. The following questions are important to ask any physician offering to come to your home: • Is the physician who owns your medical group present every day at the local facility?
The AAHCP provides a list of its members and medical groups providing home care physician services as a public service. The listing is intended for informational purposes only. The AAHCP does not check the compliance of its members with licensing, billing or other regulatory requirements. It cannot attest to the qualifications and billing practices of individual physicians. Therefore, users should obtain information about licensure, qualifications and billing from the physicians and groups themselves.

working together
care managers and elder law attorneys partner to help clients n
by Buckley Fricker, J.D., CMC
Elder Law attorneys can handle all the legal needs of seniors and their families. Some Elder Law attorneys also act as a variety of agent-types, just like family members of clients. They can serve as Guardians, Conservators, POAs, and Trustees (hereafter simply known as “agents”). Sometimes the client’s family members are available to serve as agents, and do a great job. There are plenty of happily ever afters out there. Other times, though, there are no suitable family members available, either because there actually are none, or because they aren’t “suitable.” “Un-suitable” can result in a wide variety of scenarios, some of which are sadly comparable to either dark comedies or horror stories. Enter the Aging Life Care Manager also known as Care Managers or Geriatric Care Managers (GCMs). Aging Life Care Managers are professional guides and advo-
cates for families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults. On the national level, these professionals are represented by the Aging Life Care Association.

Each system has three elements: a portable radio transmitter (help button), a console connected to the user’s telephone, and a response center to monitor the calls. In case of an emergency (a fall, chest pains, suspected intruder, etc.), the user simply calls for help by pressing the button on the radio transmitter. The console picks up the signal (much like an automatic garage door opener) and automatically phones the response center (even if the phone is off the hook). The call is routed to the response center where the caller is identified through special coding. The monitoring center’s first response is to talk with the user and verify that an emergency exists. This can be done The features offered by many PRS providers are expanding at an astounding rate.

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

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.

HOW TO
access benefits for veterans
help is available for service members
I
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). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans.
Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is based on priority groups. Congress determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that limited funds are provided to higher priority Veterans first. Priority groups range from 1-8, with 1 being the highest priority. Group 1 includes Veterans who are more than 50 percent disabled, while Group 8 is made up of individuals who are not rated as disabled 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 Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

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. Long-term 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 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). Information adapted from http://www. va.gov/geriatrics/ and from Health Care Benefits Overview 2012, a publication of the VA available at http://www.va.gov/ healthbenefits/resources/epublications.asp.

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.

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

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

communities offering cottage-style living The transition to a retirement community can be exciting, affording residents a low-maintenance lifestyle; new friends; and access to clubs, amenities and healthcare. However, for older adults who have lived their lives in a neighborhood full of single-family homes, the move to a highrise style community can be intimidating and challenging. Many local communities offer cottage-style living options that will allow residents to feel right at home from day one. Most cottage-style options are part of
larger communities that also offer apartment-style units, as well as a vast array of amenities. Residents are able to enjoy the amenities of the community, while benefiting from the added privacy and more spacious living areas that cottage-style residences provide. Many cottages offer garages or covered parking, as well as some yard space. The following list, compiled by SourceBook, includes the continuing care retirement communities in the region that offer cottage-style living.

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance
T
he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help. What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or singlefamily development, except that they provide special services, including secu-

rity — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote

socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed.

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 pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned

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

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 pro-

HOW TO n
be a balanced caregiver
Jody Gastfriend, LICSW
C
aring for a parent, grandparent, spouse or loved one has its challenges and rewards. It can be gratifying as well as frustrating, with no clear roadmap on how to proceed. More than 65 million people in the United States care for a parent or disabled adult, and of those caregivers, more than a third still have minor children living at home. Middle-aged adults may find themselves sandwiched between limit testing teenagers, pushing for more independence, and aging parents, who want to hold onto the independence they still have. Is there a way for caregivers, whether you are a daughter, son, spouse or partner, to juggle it all without feeling depleted and guilt-ridden? The answer is yes, but it takes time, patience, forethought and compassion – for yourself as well as everyone else. Sometimes, the best thing a caregiver can do is to take a step back, breathe deeply and evaluate their routine. Consider how 1.

on subsidies and other payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living/personal care costs are covered through private payments by
residents and families. The nationwide average cost for an assisted living/ personal care residence varies widely depending on the location and the facility amenities. However, there are affordable or subsidized options available in most areas. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.
Area Agencies on Aging can provide information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs for assisted living/personal care.

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

AssiSted Living
What is Person-Centered Living? The non-profit national advocacy organization previously known as the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL) is now known as CCAL-Advancing Person-Centered Living. They helped coin the term “person-centered living” that is now commonly heard in the assisted living and personal care field. While the term may be familiar to professionals, it may still be confusing to consumers who are just beginning to investigate assisted living/personal care options. So what is person-centered living? CCAL coined the term person-centered living (PCL) as a reminder that as people grow older or have disabilities they should not experience a loss of humanity or choice regardless of where they live. PCL means living as one chooses to. PCL is based on humanistic beliefs that every individual has a unique background, human experience, and the right to determine how to live his/her own life. PCL is also relationship-based and focused on supporting the individual’s emotional, social, physical and spiritual well being (e.g., belonging, experiencing a continuation of self-worth, purpose, meaning, enjoyment, comfort and opportunities for growth).

Assisted Living
CCAL upholds the PCL principle, “Nothing About Me Without Me.” This simple phrase means that every elder and individual with a disability is provided choice, privacy, dignity, respect, independence and autonomy. Elders and individuals with disabilities have the right to determine their needs; decide how best to have those needs met; and give feedback about the quality and nature of the care, services and supports they receive. If support is needed, supports are centered on their personal preferences and values that honor their selfhood. A person-centered culture is nurturing, empowering and respectful, and it optimizes the well being of not only the elder and individual with a disability but also the family and larger caregiving and/or services and support network. Ultimately, person-centered living means being kind, respectful and sensitive to those being served and honoring their right to make their own choices, regardless of the setting.

The Cost of Aging

In 1900, Americans aged 65 years or older accounted for about 4 percent of the total U.S. population; by 2050, experts expect that this number will increase to more than 20 percent. The expansion prompts plenty of hard questions. What are some common financial burdens faced by aging individuals, their families and caregivers? And what are some steps our health care system can take to alleviate those burdens? MPH@GW, the online MPH offered through the Milken Institute School of RISING OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS Public Health at the George Washington University, created Income levels for aging Americans are increasing, The Cost of Aging in America, but not as quickly as their medical bills. By 2040: an extensive infographic previewed here, to explore some of these issues.

Assisted Living
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.

control. If you can help them understand why you feel they need a home health aide, a certain medical specialist, a safety-related home renovation or even a new domicile, you often get better participation in making the change. Rarely are plans made in just one conversation. It may be a series of conversations, lasting months or even years. Be patient and recognize that your loved one has the right to make decisions, even if you think they are bad ones. 2. Talk about money. Nobody likes to talk about money, but it simply must be done. When it comes to eldercare, finances determine options. Do your parents or grandparents have long-term care insurance? Do they have savings to liquidate or assets they’re willing to sell? (The family home may be non-negotiable, but what about the car your senior relatives no longer drive?) What kind of care and services can they afford? Keep in mind that home care costs around $20/hour and Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care in a nursing home— which averages over $80,000 a year. If you’ve been operating on the assumption that long-term decisions can be made “when the time comes,” you may be in for a harsh dose of reality. There’s no point in spinning your wheels, going over choices that just aren’t viable for your family. 3. Don’t try to do it all. In many cases, a nearby family member, perhaps you, will take on caretaking duties, thinking you can or should be able to handle it all. Plus, Mom really trusts and relies on you and wouldn’t feel comfortable with a stranger in the home. Things may go along fine for a while, but as the picture turns more complicated, you may quickly become overwhelmed and ineffective. Go ahead and step up if you’re the one who lives closest or has the most time or financial wherewithal to deal with an initial crisis. But then, assess the situation and quickly marshal your resources. Call a family meeting—via Skype, if need be—and find out what other family members are willing and able to do. 4.

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

Assisted Living
Understanding Assisted Living in Virginia
According to the Virginia Department of Social Services, Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) are non-medical residential settings that provide or coordinate personal and health care services; 24-hour supervision; and assistance for the care of four or more adults who are aged, infirm or disabled. This care may be provided in one or more locations. Assisted living facilities are not nursing homes. A nursing home is a facility in which the primary function is the provision, on a continuing basis, of nursing services and health-related services for the treatment and inpatient care of two or more non-related individuals. Nursing homes
are regulated by the Virginia Department of Health.
Alzheimer’s Waiver The Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Waiver is available to individuals who are 55 years of age or older and who have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, but no diagnosis of a serious mental illness or mental retardation/ intellectual disability. In addition, the individual must be living in (or willing to move to) an assisted living facility instead of a nursing home, and also be receiving (or be eligible to receive) an Auxiliary Grant.
If you think that you might qualify for the Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Waiver, contact your local Department of Social Services or local health department. Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) 801 E. Main Street Richmond, VA 23219-2901 1-800-552-3431 (toll-free) or 804-726-7000 www.dss.virginia.gov Virginia Department of Health 109 Governor Street Richmond, VA 23219 (804) 864-7001 www.vdh.virginia.gov

Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and serv-

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

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

paying for nursing home care Nursing home care can be expensive. There are many ways you can pay for nursing home care. For example, you can use your own money, you may be able to get help from your state, or you may use long-term care insurance. Most people who enter nursing homes begin by paying for their care out-of-pocket. As you use your resources (like bank accounts and stocks) over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid. Will Medicare pay for nursing home care? Medicare generally doesn’t cover long-term care stays in a nursing home. Even if it doesn’t cover nursing home care, you’ll need health coverage for hospital care, doctor services, and medical supplies while you’re in the nursing home. Part A covers skilled care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Skilled care is nursing and therapy care that can only be safely and effectively performed by, or under the supervision of, professionals or technical personnel. It’s health care given when you need skilled nursing or skilled therapies to
treat, manage, and observe your condition, and evaluate your care. Medicare covers certain daily skilled care services on a short-term basis (up to 100 days in a benefit period). For more information on Medicare’s coverage of SNF care, visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Personal resources You can use your personal money

paying for nursing ... Continued from page 131
Help from your state (Medicaid) Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Most, but not all, nursing homes accept Medicaid payment. Even if you pay out-of-pocket or with longterm care insurance, you eventually may “spend down” your assets while you’re at the nursing home, so it’s good to know whether the home will accept Medicaid. Check with the nursing home to see if they accept people with Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary state to state. Most often, eligibility is based on your income and personal resources. Many states have higher Medicaid income limits for nursing home residents. You may be eligible for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home even if you haven’t qualified for
other Medicaid services in the past. Sometimes you won’t be eligible for Medicaid until you’ve spent some of your personal resources on health care. Generally, even if you’re eligible for Medicaid, all of your income (except for a monthly personal needs allowance and amounts considered necessary to support your spouse and family living in the
community) will go to pay your nursing home expenses and Medicaid will cover the rest. To get more information on Medicaid eligibility in your state, call your local Medicaid office. Information excerpted from a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publication. More information is available online at medicare.gov.

HOW TO
solve long-term care issues
an ombudsman can help
The word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving longterm care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints Continued on page 134

against specific long-term care providers. Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a long-term care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the community at large about long-term care issues while simultaneously helping to train the staff of longterm care providers. An Ombudsman can inform consumers of their rights and long-term care providers of their responsibilities.
What Can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint investigation and negotiation. The counseling received from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help individuals become an advocate for themselves or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to complaints and then offer information and referrals via the telephone, email or at an in-person visit to a long-term care facility.
If the concern requires a formal investigation, the Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He/ she will gather facts and relevant information to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem. This article was adapted from www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program in detail.
Medicare Eligibility and Coverage To be eligible for Medicare-covered Skilled Nursing Care, you must meet several conditions: n You have Part A and have days left in your benefit period. n You have a qualifying hospital stay. n Your doctor has decided that you need daily skilled care given by, or under the direct supervision of, skilled nursing or therapy staff. If you’re in the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for skilled rehabilitation services only, your care is considered daily care even if these therapy services are offered just 5 or 6 days a week, as long as you need and get the therapy services each day they’re offered. n You get these skilled services in a SNF that’s certified by Medicare. n You need these skilled services for a medical condition that was either: -A hospital-related medical condition. - A condition that started while you were getting care in the skilled nursing facility for a hospital-related medical condition.
If you meet all of the above conditions, your SNF stay will be covered under Original Medicare according to the following guidelines: n For Days 1- 20: $0 in 2017 for each benefit period n For Days 21-100: $164.50 coinsurance per day of each benefit period in 2017 n Days 101 and beyond: all costs.

best design practices for dementia care facilities Perkins Eastman Research Collaborative and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) recently published a white paper, “Excellence in Design: Optimal Living Space for People With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.” Release of this report comes as incidence of Alzheimer’s disease is escalating nationwide. Currently, it is estimated thatallmore than 5with million Please confirm information communities. Americans are living with the brain disorder, and that number is expected to triple by mid-century. Together, Perkins Eastman and the AFA developed “Excellence in Design” with the goal of fostering a continuous dialogue within the architectural and interior design community, as well as the long-term care industry about how best to design supportive and therapeutic residential settings for the dementia population. AFA originally approached Perkins Eastman to explore the intersection of dementia care and forward-thinking
senior housing design. The resulting report illustrates how experts’ evolved understanding of the disease has inspired the design of flexible facilities with firstrate amenities and high-quality, personcentered care that allow individuals to live comfortably and with dignity. “Excellence in Design” offers step-bystep guidelines to enhance the physical environment to support a person’s remaining abilities and provide a safe, supportive, enriching, empowering and person-centered care setting. The report also details all aspects of an environment’s impact on daily living. “Everyone wants—and deserves—a supportive place he or she can call home,” says Emily Chmielewski EDAC, an Associate with Perkins Eastman and the report’s author. “Our goal in developing this report was to present a philosophy of both care and design that will help change the long-term care landscape to meet the needs of residents, their families and professional caregivers.” According to Carol Steinberg, AFA’s Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

president and a key contributor to the report, “We are enormously grateful to the Perkins Eastman team for taking on this important project. Where and how people with dementia live is an essential conversation, from medical, economic, social and practical perspectives.” Steinberg continues, “In the absence of a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, care is critical. This report presents practical building blocks for improving theadvertising overall Highlighting denotes paid care experience both for residents and their families.” The full report is available online: http://www.alzfdn.org/documents/ ExcellenceinDesign_Report.pdf. The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (www.alzfdn.org) is a national non-profit organization that unites more than 1,700 member organizations nationwide with the goal of providing optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families.

HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s/memory care
a special care residence may be the right option Certification 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.

Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety. Researching special care residences can ensure your loved one will receive the proper support he/she needs.

know 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.

alzheimer’s: the facts and figures alzheimer’s association report sheds new light on scope of disease According to the 2013 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia in the United States. The report shows that while deaths from other major diseases, such as heart disease, HIV/AIDS and stroke, continue to experience significant declines, Alzheimer’s deaths continue to rise – increasing 68 percent from 2000-2010. “Unfortunately, today there are no Alzheimer’s survivors. If you have Alzheimer’s disease, you either die from it or die with it,” said Harry Johns, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association. “Now we know that one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Urgent, meaningful action is necessary, particularly as more and more people age into greater risk for developing a disease that today has no cure and no way to slow or stop its progression.” Alzheimer’s disease is the sixthleading cause of death in the United States and is the only leading cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. Based on 2010 data, Alzheimer’s was reported as the underlying cause of death for 83,494 individuals – individuals who died from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures reveals that in 2013 an estimated 450,000 people in the United States will die with Alzheimer’s. The true number of deaths caused by Alzheimer’s is likely to be somewhere between the officially reported number of those dying from and those dying with Alzheimer’s. Human and Financial Toll of Alzheimer’s More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Without the development of medical breakthroughs that prevent, slow or stop the disease, by 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease could reach 13.8 million. Previous estimates suggest that number could be high as 16 million. 148

Alzheimer’s and dementia place an enormous burden on individuals and families. In 2012, there were more than 15 million caregivers who provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion. Individuals with dementia often require increasing levels of supervision and personal care as the disease progresses. As symptoms exacerbate as the disease progresses, the high levels of care required by family members and friends can often result in increased emotional stress and health challenges for caregivers. Due to the physical and emotional toll of caregiving, Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers had $9.1 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2012. The burden on the nation’s health care system and government programs is also enormous. According to Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures, the total payments for health and long-term care services for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias will total $203 billion in 2013, the lion’s share of which will be borne by Medicare and Medicaid with combined costs of $142 billion. Despite these staggering figures today, by 2050 total costs will increase 500 percent to $1.2 trillion. “Alzheimer’s disease steals everything — steadily, relentlessly, inevitably. With baby boomers reaching the age of elevated risk, we do not have time to do what we have always done,” said Robert

Egge, vice president of public policy for the Alzheimer’s Association. “The National Institutes of Health needs to reset its priorities and focus its resources on the crisis at our doorstep, and Congress must fully fund implementation of the National Alzheimer’s Plan to solve the crisis.” Special Focus on the Long-Distance Caregiving Experience The Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures also explores the challenges faced by long-distance caregivers for people living with Alzheimer’s. The report finds that nearly 15 percent of caregivers for people with Alzheimer’s or another dementia are “long-distance caregivers” — caring for people with Alzheimer’s disease who live at least 1 hour away. These long-distance caregivers had annual out-of-pocket expenses nearly twice as high as local caregivers – $9,654 compared to $5,055. The Alzheimer’s Association is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research and offers a variety of educational and support resources, including its 24/7, toll-free Helpline (1.800.272.3900), care consultation and online resources.

HOW TO
find hospice care
improving the quality of life remaining
A
As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or inpatient hospice residential settings.
How Does One Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life.
What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer short-term inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites. How Do I Pay for Hospice? For more information, see www.caringMost services are fully or partially info.org or the information on hospice covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private care at www.cancer.org.
patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice.

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

finding a support group After a significant death or loss, you may experience feelings that are unfamiliar in their intensity and duration. You may notice thoughts and behavior that are different or disturbing. Grieving people may have unusual dreams, be absent-minded, withdraw socially, or lack the desire to participate in activities that used to be enjoyable. While these feelings and behaviors are normal during grief, they generally change over time. In general, grief makes room for a lot of thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and beliefs that might be considered unusual at other times. Following significant loss, however, most of these components of grief are, in fact, quite normal. One method of dealing with grief is to be more aware of the ways we express it. Even the exact words we use (to ourselves and to others) can make a difference. For example, when we think, “I regret that I was not in the room when
he died,” we’re less likely to wallow in Grief Support Although it is common for people to the feeling than if we think, “I feel guilty want to find their own way through grief that I was not in the room when he died.” and avoid seeking help, grief support can make a remarkable difference.

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

understanding palliative care Palliative care (pronounced PAHLEE-UH-TIVE) helps a person remain comfortable by addressing issues causing physical pain, emotional pain or suffering. Hospice programs have provided palliative care for the last thirty years. Currently, these programs serve more than 1.2 million patients and their families each year. Now, this very same approach to care is being used by other healthcare providers, including teams in hospitals, nursing
facilities and home health agencies. To palliate means to make comfortable by treating a person’s symptoms from an illness. The goals of palliative care are to improve the quality of a seriously ill person’s life, and to support that person and their family during and after treatment. Hospice focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting patients with a life expectancy of months, not years. However, palliative care may be given at any
time during a person’s illness, from diagnosis on. Most hospices have a set of defined services, team members, and rules and regulations. Some hospices provide palliative care as a separate program or service. Information adapted from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Web site. For more information, visit www.nhpco.org.
hospice for veterans One in four dying Americans is a Veteran. These men and women often carry experiences from their military service that present unique challenges at the end of life. Across America, hospice professionals are enhancing their skills to meet these needs through “We Honor Veterans” (WHV), a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), originally developed in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs. “We Honor Veterans” is expanding to reach more Veterans through a new collaboration between Dignity Memorial (a net-
work of funeral homes) and NHPCO. The resources and tools have been enhanced to support the education and training available to funeral home professionals across the country. In collaboration with NHPCO, Dignity Memorial will develop four levels of distinction based on the facilities’ involvement with Veteran education and interaction with Veterans and their family members. These levels will ensure that the very best care is being provided to those who have served our country. “In developing We Honor Veterans, we
have learned so much about what makes the end of life so unique for each veteran. Reaching out to those outside of the hospice community means that we can share all that we have learned about how to meet those needs in a supportive, meaningful and respectful way. We’re so pleased that Dignity Memorial has joined us in that pursuit,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of NHPCO.

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

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

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

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 twoway 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-

And it’s all because patients and caregivers, telemedicine of telemedicine. has a number of compelling advantages: 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. The benefits The objective of telemedicine is to create a distance health care experience that mirrors the quality and comprehensiveness of a traditional office visit.
Less waiting and faster response. For retirees with health issues — and their caregivers, who are often pressed for time — long waits in physician offices can be excruciating. Telemedicine eliminates waiting room tedium and enables more timely response from health care professionals through email, text message, and other electronic channels. Lower costs. Many doctors actually charge less for a telehealth consultation than they do for an in-person visit. What’s more, telehealth can reduce costs associated with travel and provide easier access to medi-

One study determined that telemedicine could collectively save U.S. nursing homes $479 million annually by reducing transportation costs related to in-person physician office visits. 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.

creating livable communities engaging all generations and improving quality of life
I
ntergenerational living has the potential to benefit individuals from all generations, from young children to seniors. To help towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. make their communities friendly to an aging population, the MetLife Mature Market Institute has released planning tips, Creating a Livable Community: Engaging All Generations and Improving Quality of Life. The tips are derived from the study, Livable Community Indicators for Sustainable Aging in Place, which found that localities can follow relatively simple and low cost indicators to determine if their services meet the needs of their aging and older citizens. The publication contains specific solutions for intergenerational living in the areas of housing, transportation, safety, health care, support services, retail services and social integration. It was produced in conjunction with Generations United to provide guidance for those at the local level – community leaders, residents, students and more – so they can find new ways to implement programs to enhance the lives of all generations and to create a livable and positive environment. “While all communities are unique and have varying degrees of resources, every community can actively engage residents across the generations in addressing community challenges,” said Sandra Timmermann, Ed.D., director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute. “There are simple ways to get this started. For example, appoint an intergenerational community advisory council to offer multiple perspectives and unique solutions for a given locality.” Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United pointed out that making sure people are connected to each other is a great way to foster intergenerational reciprocity. “Communities that create opportunities for people of all ages improve the quality of life and strengthen the community. We’ve witnessed great success in those that under-

stand how to use an intergenerational lens to develop and implement policies and programs for all generations,” she said. “As recently noted by the Mayo Clinic, ‘good friends are good for your health’ and a recent report by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) pointed out that those who volunteer tend to be more satisfied with their lives than those who don’t.” The tip sheet asserts that, in a livable community, policies and practices increase cooperation and interaction among the age groups. Livable communities provide services that allow individuals to survive and thrive. In a truly intergenerational community, residents of all ages have ample opportunity to share their expertise and resources, and to support each other and their community. Examples of some of the advice and policy suggestions in the publication are:

• Housing – A program that supports the efforts of older people to keep living in their homes might engage groups of students to rake leaves, shovel snow and do light home repairs for older neighbors. Example: The Home Safety Program at the Volunteer Center of the Virginia Peninsula sends teens to visit older adults living independently. They perform a safety assessment and provide safety and disaster kits. • Transportation and Safe Neighborhoods – Transportation is a critical service for all generations, especially those who are aging and must rely on light rail, buses, taxis and on-call vans. Neighborhoods can use volunteers to help older individuals learn how to take advantage of public transportation. Example: In Hesston, Kansas, older adults are utilized as crossing guards to help students cross busy intersections. In Chanute, Kansas, older volunteers greet students at the front door of their elementary,

middle and high schools, and wish them a wonderful day at school, with a smile, handshake or high-five. • Health Care and Supportive Services – Livable communities require adequate medical facilities, trained medical personnel, community education, wellness programs, doctors and specialists. They also need support services for residents of all ages. Communities might create a shared space for residents of multiple generations to interact daily. Example: At the JEWEL Program in New York’s Westchester County, daily interactions occur between children in day care and older adults in a non-residential day program. The older adults benefit from the center’s wellness activities, personal care, transportation and nutrition – and from the daily engagement with children. • General Retail and Services – Ideally, communities have stores to buy necessities, opportunities to purchase healthy
foods, restaurants and community activities. Recognizing the importance of healthy eating and how it correlates to healthy and long lives, localities can connect children, teens and older adults through gardening and cooking. Example: At the Marion Street Intergenerational Garden in Washington, DC, gardeners of all ages create and participate in a gardening experience that has become an outdoor classroom for residents of all ages. • Social Integration – Communities can connect the generations to enhance each other’s lives and that of the larger community. Through these interactions, relationships are formed, stereotypes and biases are reduced and communities take advantage of the strengths of all their residents. Example: The Allegheny County Library Association in Pennsylvania has held book clubs for high school students and older adults aimed at fostering intergenerational discussion
and connections. The guide also contains a list of additional resources that can be tapped by community leaders, government officials and individuals seeking to work toward the betterment and flexibility of their communities with regard to older adults. The complete publication is available online: https://www.metlife. com/assets/cao/mmi/publications/Tips/ mmi-livable-communities-tips.pdf.

assistive technology can help
T
he world of technology is exploding with options that could allow seniors and baby boomers to live in their homes longer. So why aren’t they all taking advantage of available technologies? The simple answer is because most of the people who would benefit from these technologies are unaware that they exist. We are all familiar with the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial advertising wearable pendants that can be pressed when a person needs help. But there is so much more available today. There are currently devices available that can visually and audibly alert individuals when it is time to take their medication. Given the fact that approximately 40 percent of nursing home admissions are the result of individuals being unable to take medication without supervision, these devices can help more seniors re-
main at home. Sold in varying shapes and sizes, holding large to small pills, medication management devices can beep, flash, and text patients and caregivers when it is time to take a medication or text when a medication is missed. They can be purchased with monthly services to allow distant caregivers the ability to manage medications. Devices range from $299.00 to $999.00. Tracking devices are also available that allow people to be found quickly if they wander. These tracking devices can be worn as watches, placed in a shoe as an insert, worn on a belt or worn around the neck as a pendant. According to the Montgomery County Police – Project Lifesaver, it is imperative that an individual is found quickly, because for each moment lost, the search grid expands to a size that makes it almost impossible for individuals to be found. With that in mind, when choosing a tracking device, it is important to know
how soon the device will notify caregivers the person is wandering. Very few of the devices currently on the market can give an exact location. Newer models also include two-way voice communication. The assistive technology market also includes devices that can monitor health, sleep patterns and movement in the house. House sensors can monitor water leakage, movement in the bathroom, movement in and out of a bed or a chair, as well as the opening and closing of cabinets or doors. Finally, there are sensors that can turn off appliances if there has been no movement in a certain amount of time. Using the power of new technologies, caregivers can provide independent, safe living environments for their parents or other loved ones and still have peace of mind. By working with loved ones and professionals, seniors can easily create secure environments where they can age in place.

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

Dear Marci, What is a health care proxy? - Antoine (Annapolis, MD) Dear Antoine, A health care proxy is a document that appoints another person to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to do so. This person is called a proxy or an agent. Naming a health care agent is one of the most important things you can do to ensure that you always receive the health care you prefer. Typically, you do not have to be terminally ill for a health care proxy to go into effect. If you do not appoint a health care proxy and cannot make health care decisions, state law determines who can make decisions on your behalf. Most

marci’s medicare answers states have laws that let close family members and others (surrogates) act on your behalf if you haven’t appointed a health care agent, but you may not want these people to make decisions for you. As long as you give your agent permission, they will usually have the flexibility to make most treatment decisions for you and access your medical records. When choosing a health care agent, it’s important to appoint someone: • Who you trust. • Who knows you well and understands your medical preferences. • Who will be assertive in making decisions. • Who will honor your wishes. Things you should discuss with your health care agent: • Personal attitudes towards health, illness, dying, and death, • Religious beliefs,
• Feelings about doctors and other caregivers, • Feelings about palliative care versus life-sustaining treatments like artificial nutrition and hydration, and • Treatment preference if you are unconscious for a long time and not expected to recover. If there is no one you trust to make health care decisions for you, you don’t have to name anyone as your agent. You can instead create a living will to advise your doctors about your preferences. A health care proxy generally only gives your agent the power to make medical decisions for you. Decisions about things such as health insurance may be considered a financial, not medical, decision depending on state law. It’s generally best to consult with a lawyer to appoint a power of attorney for those types of decisions. You don’t need a lawyer to write a
health care proxy. You can use a standardized form and tailor it to your needs, but make sure that it meets all of your state’s legal requirements. Discuss the document with your health care agent and your loved ones. Give a copy of the document to your health care agent and to your providers. These conversations can be difficult, but creating a health care proxy can help individuals be prepared for different health care situations. —Marci Marci’s Medicare Answers is a service of the Medicare Rights Center (www.medicarerights.org), the nation’s largest independent source of information and assistance for people with Medicare.

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

make aging in place possible 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. One thing to keep in mind when consider-
ing a CAPS is that they draw from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized and thorough plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typical modifications that will increase access and improve maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertops, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS are mostly remodelers, but
a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aestheticallypleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was developed by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

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

Selecting a Home Care Provider: A Checklist Before hiring a home care provider, you will want to learn more about their services, reputation and track record. The questions below will help you have productive conversations with providers and their professional references. How long has this provider been serving the community? Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Patient Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. n How does this provider select and train its employees? Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? n Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? n Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care? Are they involved in making care plan changes? n Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient? n Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints? How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems? n What are the financial procedures of this provider? Does the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care? n What procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? n How does this provider ensure patient confidentiality? n n

overnment agencies are an invaluable resource and can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 created the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a national network of agencies that promote and protect the health and well-being of older adults. Amendments to the OAA provided grants to Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), giving them the resources to identify local needs and plan and fund local programs. The Department of Health & Human Services describes this comprehensive network as the National Aging Network. The
key components of this network, which serves seven million Americans age 60 and over as well as 325,000 caregivers, are the Administration on Aging, the State Units of Aging, and the Area Agencies on Aging.

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 working 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.

planning for the care you need at home
I n
by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff, CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care AssociationTM Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy
f you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home.
What if You Become Homebound?
If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life Care Manager™ can help you access licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and discharge planner if you are in the hospital or a nursing facility and need to decide on and plan for services in your home once you are discharged. However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services.”
You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety.
Accessing services
These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health agency certified to provide Medicare-reimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospitalbased organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization.
Other Home Care Services
Many other care services are provided in the home but are not licensed or paid for by Medicare. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you understand what they can offer, access reputable services, and monitor them on an on-going basis.
Non-Medical Aides, Companions and Homemakers
There are many types of paid care giving services available—often called nonmedical aides, companions and home-
makers—who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes, and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability insurance and is responsible for all employment taxes and employee bonding. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable agency and get important questions answered, such as: do they check police and driver license records; do they provide supervision; how do they handle cancellations; and how long have they been in business? Phyllis Mensh Brostoff, CISW, CMC, is a social worker and co-founder of Stowell Associates – a care management and home care company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She has written numerous articles and presented seminars across the country. More information is available at www.caremanagedhomecare.com.

For more than 20 years, SourceBook has been providing seniors and houldn’t you families with information about the continually growing home careuseagency a licensed for your home care? industry. As more seniors in Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland prefer to age in place, we want to ensure readers not only know their local options but also understand how home care agencies, in terms of licensing and regulations, can vary in each region. As a result, we have continually updated our home care tables to meet consumer needs. Each list is preceded by content specifically tailored to that region, including the types of services agencies can provide and the state’s specific licensing regulations.

Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland
A
ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “Home-Based Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health, such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide home care services throughout Maryland.
Home Health Agencies
staff may provide care based on your needs. Home health agencies participate in the Medicare program and many health insurance programs include a home health benefit.
Nurse Referral Service Agencies (NRSA)
These agencies screen and refer licensed nurses, home health aides, homemakers, live-in caretakers, and companions for individuals needing help in their home. The person seeking assistance contracts directly with the individual who will provide the service and may pay the agency or the provider for services.
Home health agencies provide nurs- Residential Services ing services, home health aides and one Agencies (RSA) or more other services such as physical RSAs provide supportive home care therapy, occupational therapy or social services, that is, assistance with ADLs services. Several kinds of health care and/or housekeeping services. They
may provide one or more home care services, such as provision of oxygen or medical equipment, which includes wheelchairs, walkers and hospital beds. An RSA cannot participate in the Medicare Program; however, Level III RSAs can provide skilled nursing services. RSAs employ all their caregivers, while NRSAs do not. The person seeking assistance contracts with the agency. RSA services are sometimes paid for by the person using services, but are generally covered under long-term care insurance policies and may be paid through medical insurance in some circumstances.

Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers If facing this decision, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision: 1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made? 2. Are social security, federal and state taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible? 3. Is there verification that the paid caregivers can legally work in the U.S.? 4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance
policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.” 5. A re criminal history background checks, state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed? 6. Is there bonding and insurance in place that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages
related to the caregiver(s) working in the home. 7. Assuming 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.

I
n Virginia, home care organizations, certified home health agencies, and licensed and certified hospice programs are reviewed by the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification. There are several types of agencies in Virginia that provide these services. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification provides a look at the
different agencies and their state regulations.
Home Health Agencies
Home health agencies are public or private agencies, organizations or parts of agencies or organizations that meet the requirements for participation in Medicare under 42 CFR 440.70 (d). This indicates these federally-certified agencies provide skilled nursing services and at least one other therapeutic service, e.g. physical, speech or occupational therapy; medical social services; or home health aide services, and they also meet the capitalization requirements under 42 CFR 489.28. An agency may choose to be exempt from state licensure through certification in one of
four ways: • The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Certification; • Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) Certification; • Medicaid Personal Care Certification; • Medicaid/Medicare Certification. When trying to find a home health agency, ask for their license number. Be specific in asking for the license number issued by the Virginia Department of Health, and not the number for their license to operate a business. Continued on page 194

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