the choice is yours
I
regularly receive calls from readers who are in conflict with another family member regarding elder care decisions. Sometimes the calls are from siblings who cannot agree on the best course of action for a parent. Other calls come from seniors whose children are encouraging them to make a lifestyle change – a change they are not sure they want – or need. Often, the most heart-wrenching calls come from families who are unprepared for the costs of senior care. From “I’m not ready yet” to “We can’t afford that,” I have heard it all in the last three decades. I tell our readers today what I realized after only a few months in this business: there is always an answer. The decision may be challenging, but thanks in large part to the ever-growing local senior services industry, there are always choices. That is where we come in. From our comprehensive provider listings to our feature articles, Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook strives to provide readers with the information they need to make choices. In this issue’s cover story, readers
will meet two couples who are proud founding members of “A Booming Community” (see page 20). John and Gail Slezak and Sharron and Bill Smith are new residents at Homewood at Willow Ponds, an active adult community in Frederick, Md. Instead of shoveling snow and doing yard work, the Slezaks are now enjoying delicious meals and exciting activities. Moving to Homewood has helped the Smiths maintain their bi-coastal lifestyle without worrying about property maintenance. They live part of every year in a condominium in Seattle, Wash., near their daughter. Both couples had just one piece of advice for other Boomers—“Don’t wait too long.” Both of this issue’s feature stories center on spunky women who are active, involved and interesting. Keeping in touch is never a problem for Edith Duff, who uses her robot to remain connected with her large family. In “Robot Provides Peace of Mind,” readers will meet the engaging 86-year-old and her futuristic companion (page 25). A lifelong artist and teacher, Millicent “Millie” Bassett is already preparing to share her love of art with
her new neighbors at Lorien Taneytown Assisted Living. Meet Millie and discover the unique perks of her new home in “Art and Inspiration” (page 26). One of those perks is Flick’s Restaurant and Pub, a full service pub that is open to the public. This unique amenity helps residents connect with each other and community members in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The one thing all these older adults have in common is that they made choices. Whether with the help of family members or trusted professionals, they all reviewed their retirement living options and selected the lifestyle that was right for them. In this and every issue of SourceBook, it is our goal to provide you with thousands of resources that can help you and your family locate the options that fit your needs and your lifestyle. Now, the choice is yours.

riends prepare for a museum outing. A woman heads off to work. Students file into the fitness center. Homewood at Willow Ponds, an active adult community in Frederick, Md., is booming— primarily because it provides Boomers with exactly what they want—a maintenance-free, activity-filled lifestyle with the promise of future care if it is needed. Homewood Retirement Centers includes five communities in Maryland and Pennsylvania and has a long history of offering enriching lifestyles at reasonable costs. With construction still underway and new active adults moving in every day, the boom at Homewood at Willow Ponds, shows no signs of slowing. No one knows this better than two of the community’s founding couples—John and Gail Slezak and Sharron and Bill Smith.
Since moving, John and Gail Slezak spend a lot more time participating in enriching activities and a lot less time performing home maintenance.

Don Duff, Edith’s son, purchased the robot for his mother shortly after it was developed. “My son was part of the team that helped create this technology and after hearing him talk about it, I knew it would be really great for my mom, so I bought the 10th one off the line,” he said. The robot is called a MantaroBot and was developed by a Germantown, Md.-based product development services company. In the year since Edith has had the robot, it has garnered a lot of attention. Her fellow residents are fascinated and excited by the device and its many possibilities, and the technology was recently featured in an aging special on Al Jazeera America. Edith’s daughter, Wendy, who lives in Los Angeles, uses the technology most frequently and is the person behind the robot for today’s lunch date. “This is so much more advanced than any other current way of communicating,” noted Don, who encouraged his siblings to start using the robot. “My mother says that it’s the next best thing to her kids actually being there. When we call, she has the biggest smile on her face, and you can tell she feels like you are standing right next to her.” In addition to helping the large family of five kids keep in touch with their mother, the robot also provides valuable peace of mind, since the kids can check on their mother at any time. It also allows Edith to fit catching up with her children into her impressively busy schedule. A resident at Buckingham’s Choice for more than 10 years, Edith has a full social calendar. “Buckingham’s Choice has been amazing,” noted Don. “It just gives me chills to know that my mother is so active and really enjoying her life.

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

Day” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, take a general tip from freelancers and independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two!
Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret giving 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
sort through items
donating and recycling your belongings
D
onating or giving away household items or recycling them (finding new uses) can be a frustrating and confusing matter. What can you actually give away, and who will take it? This is often the part of the process where people become the most easily bogged down. The following, from Moving On discusses a couple of options when you are sorting through your belongings. Donating and Recycling When people want to donate household items, often the first place they think of is one of the major charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America—and for good reason. These agencies are willing to take many of the things we would like to get rid of and put them to good use by either giving them to the needy or selling them in their thrift shops, with the profits going to support their social services programs. Often these organizations will make it even easier on donors by coming to the home to pick up donated items. And when you give to charitable organizations, your donation is tax deductible. To be considerate when donating, make sure that all clothes are clean and wearable; all appliances are in work-
ing order; and anything with multiple pieces, like children’s games or tool sets, have all the parts intact. Exactly which items charities accept varies from organization to organization and from location to location, so it’s best to contact your local outlet for specifics. Some charities post guidelines on their websites for items they will accept. Most charities accept clothing of all types and shoes for men, women and children, as well as costume jewelry and accessories; appliances in working order and household items; televisions, stereos and computers; books, toys and games; and sporting goods. Most do not accept broken appliances, water beds, furniture in bad repair, magazines or old encyclopedias, bathroom fixtures such as toilets or sinks, tires, paint, swing sets, water heaters, windows or doors. Household items can also be donated to smaller or locally based charities, such as veterans’ associations, churches and synagogues, children’s charities,
and programs for the elderly. Community theaters, women’s shelters, prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes also often accept donations of furniture and household goods. You might also inquire at local schools, preschools, day-care centers, art schools, and after-school programs to see if they could use toys, games, books, desks, art supplies or musical instruments. The following are among the many household items charities and companies may accept: furniture; clothing; computers; cell phones; medical supplies; books; and odds and ends such as fabric, wood, leftover tile or paint. Excerpt from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand, which provides tips to get started, strategies for keeping things in perspective, and extensive source listings of where to donate or sell contents of a home.

A
fter living in his home near Perry Hall, Md., for more than 30 years, Mr. S* knew it was time to move. He also knew that relocating would be an enormous task. That’s when he turned to Abilities Network’s Move Management program. In his mid-90s, Mr. S had been living alone in his single family home for more than a year since his wife passed away. He was starting to experience increasing health challenges, including problems with his sight and hearing. While he had in-home care providers, he knew that he needed more help and made the decision to move to Oak Crest, a nearby retirement community. Mr. S felt confident that the move would simplify his life and give him the help he needed to enjoy his retirement. However, the thought of moving was overwhelming. While his daughter was supportive of the move, she lives in another state and could not physically assist with all the downsizing and packing. When the staff at Oak Crest recommended Abilities Network to help with his move, Mr. S and his daughter were relieved. A non-profit organization, Abilities Network offers a wide variety of moving options, as well as community services. Services include a free speaker series in their Towson, Md., office once a month. Prior to his move, Mr. S met with one of Abilities Network’s move managers, Heather Murphy, to determine the best plan of action. With the help of his

make final decisions about what to take to his new home, keeping space considerations and sentimental value in mind. On moving day, Abilities Network oversaw the movers and unpacked and put away everything. When Mr. S entered his new apartment, it was completely set up, with the bed made and everything in its place. While Mr. S was busy meeting new friends, the Abilities Network team returned to his old home and began sorting through his remaining belongings. They sold some items and donated the remainder to a local charity. Within two weeks, the home was ready to be placed on the market. “I had no idea how long it would take to empty out the entire house,” said Mr. S’s daughter. “Although my dad and I worked for nearly two weeks, there was so much more to do, and it was great to know that Abilities Network would take care of everything. They were able to help us find a carpenter/painter who got the house ready for sale after it was emptied. It took so much off my dad’s shoulders and my mind.” In addition to his well-organized apartment and new friends, Mr. S is also enjoying all the amenities that come with retirement living. Chief among these amenities are the delicious meals. “My father is adjusting well to his new life. He has already gained five pounds,” his daughter noted with a smile. *Name has been changed.

HOW TO
obtain legal advice
elder law attorneys cater to your legal needs
S
ince living decisions are becoming increasingly complex, many people find themselves searching for someone who can cater to their specific legal needs. Making sure that you have the right professional for the job at hand is one of the most important tasks in getting any job done the right way. When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney may take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence. What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of at-
torney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the sometimes difficult decisions involved in one’s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients to other professional and/or non-legal resources that are available to help meet their needs. Do I Need an Elder Law attorney? Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there non-legal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? To pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you must know your needs. If you aren’t familiar
with your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else. Know your own financial limitations and the financial benefits of engaging the services of a specific attorney. In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably don’t need an expensive package. Be a smart consumer. Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there are attorneys who will occasionally take on pro-bono cases or will work on a contingency fee. Local law schools are good places to check for assistance as many students will help low-income or disabled individuals to practice their skills.

elder law changes know the laws and the numbers
B
eginning in 2014, there were some changes to a variety of laws that may interest elders and their loved ones. The following updated laws are particularly relevant for seniors and their families who are attempting to plan for the future. Gift and Estate Taxes: The annual gift tax exclusion continues at $14,000. This means a wealthy relative can give away gifts totaling $14,000 per year, per individual, and the benefactor will not incur a tax. If your relative is in a really generous spirit, he can, upon his death, bequeath up to and including $5.34 million with no tax penalty to the recipient. The $5.34 million is a lifetime tax exclusion for gifts. This cap also applies to generation-skipping gifts. Medicare Premiums, Deductibles, and Co-payments: In some parts of the country, there have been some modest increases in co-payments. In Part A, the deductible
has gone from $1,184 to $1,216 (an increase to the consumer). However, this has been balanced out with higher reimbursement for hospital stays for days 61-90, which went from $296 to $304 per day. For days 91 and beyond, the copayment has gone from $592 to $608 per day. Part B premiums and deductibles remain unchanged. The good news for married couples, filing jointly or filing separately, is that for incomes of $85,000 or more, there are no changes in your premium payments!
There are ways to shelter assets above that amount. Consult an experienced elder law attorney for more detailed advice.
Social Security Benefit Changes: For 2014, there have been modest increases for those who are eligible. The average Social Security payment will increase from $1,275 for individuals to $1,294. For couples, the amount will increase from $2,080 to $2,111. Modest is definitely the operative word, but every little bit helps.

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.

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

HOW TO
prepare legal documents
advance directives that put your affairs in order Advance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury. Finding an Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address legal nuances, personal prefer-
ences and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any
medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

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
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it
W
ith the complex maze of resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved one are primary candidates for geriatric care managers. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropriate without causing undo stress. Instead of waiting for a crisis situation, you may want to turn to a GCM earlier, so that there are more options available. How Much Will It Cost? As fees for a GCM range, you should check with your Medicare office to see if you are eligible for subsidies. The average time required by a client is four hours. After spending a couple of hours completing
a comprehensive evaluation, the GCM spends a few more hours researching and discussing available options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan. What Can a GCM Do for Me? COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. Utilizing their professional backgrounds and experience, care managers are able to perform an unbiased evaluation of the client’s mental, physical, social, financial and legal functioning. RECOMMENDATIONS. After determining what services would be helpful for the well-being of the individual, the GCM can recommend providers who will best meet the family’s needs. Familiar with industry standards, they routinely make recommendations for all levels of care. COUNSELING. The counseling that GCMs can provide helps clients and their families handle the emotional stress involved with these decisions. They provide the family with information about the illness or challenge that the client faces and the available resources. MEDIATION. GCMs can also negotiate family dynamics, helping to sort out all of the various concerns that have resulted from the challenge of caring for a loved one. FOLLOW-UP VISITS. GCMs are generally involved in the implementation of the care plan. This typically includes follow-up visits to the individual’s home or facility a

couple of times a week shortly after implementation and quarterly thereafter. Some clients are visited once a week for the duration of their services. Follow-up visits also allow the GCM to determine whether the current care services are working. How do I Choose a GCM? When considering a GCM, be sure to take into account their professional standing, as well as their personality and how comfortable they make their clients. Although there is no official licensure process for care managers, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as referrals for GCMs can be accessed through www.caremanager.org.
Giving Seniors the Options They Deserve Certified geriatric care managers, nurses & rehabilitation counselors conduct assessments, create and implement care plans, coordinate services, and advocate for their care. These services assist and empower caregivers, families and appointed guardians to achieve the highest level of safety, comfort and independence as possible for their loved ones.

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

along for the ride transportation providers make sure you’ll get there Transportation or personal concierge services can give older adults a lift, while raising their spirits as well. Not only do they provide a ride to and from important errands and engagements, but they also can offer valuable companionship for people who so often feel isolated from the world. Getting from here to there Sometimes, all older adults will require is a ride from Point A to Point B. With the transportation services available throughout the state of Maryland, you can be certain that your parent or loved one will receive a safe and reliable ride. These services can be less costly than a series of cab rides from place to place, and you’ll know that someone will be personally accountable for the safety and happiness of your special rider.
It may be time to consider a transportation provider if your parent or loved one has experienced memory loss, an inability to perform routine tasks, impaired judgment, slowed reaction time or a diminished attention span. Some older adults may even find that they like riding with a companion much better than being behind the wheel alone. This buddy approach will ensure that all the errands for the day get finished, and appointments are kept with punctuality. Some providers will often leave a full report of the day’s activities, pointing out any important developments or snags along the way for future reference. Wheelchair accessible transportation services are available throughout the area, but check in advance before booking services through a company. All special needs should be accommodated, with no questions asked.

Concierge Services Provide Companionship Many transportation services go above and beyond the simple ride, offering personal concierge services so your loved one will experience healthy companionship. For many seniors who wish to remain in their own homes as they age, completing daily tasks such as cooking, shopping, medical appointments and filling prescriptions can become too much to handle alone. Concierge services know that seniors do not have to sacrifice their independence simply because of age or a disability. These providers can help make a stay at home easier and more enjoyable by taking part in favorite hobbies with their clients and helping with ordinary tasks of everyday life. Some popular uses for concierge services include grocery shopping, cleaning and organizing, computer training, bill paying, post office errands, dry cleaning, pet services, laundry and gardening. Of course, most concierge services are open to suggestions and will accommodate any reasonable request to serve those in need. Time is valuable, and for the children of aged loved ones who work full time, this companionship is an important supplement to the care they provide at home. The next time an older friend or parent needs assistance, don’t spread yourself too thin. Consider using a transportation or concierge service to make the most of your time and ensure that your loved one is receiving safe and appropriate care.

continuing education providing learning environments for senior-serving professionals
T
here is no question that the population of Baby Boomers and their aging loved ones is rapidly increasing. Therefore, understanding the needs of these groups and the issues affecting them has never been more important. What some may not realize, however, is that various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is one such school reaching out to professionals with its Odyssey Certificate on Aging. The core and elective courses have been constructed with a broad range of disciplines in mind and are especially relevant to caregivers, clergy, financial planners, lawyers, nurses, social workers, volunteers and work/life planners. However, admission to individual courses is open to any interested adult. Students receive the Certificate on Aging upon completing four required courses, four electives and a capstone project that allows them to delve into a topic of their choice with the supervision of a faculty adviser. Examples of
required courses include ‘Public and Private Programs for the Elderly’ and ‘Biological Aspects of Aging,’ while electives vary with ‘Aging, Nutrition and Fitness;’ ‘Counseling, Case Management and Older Adults;’ and ‘Death, Grief and End-ofLife Planning.’ Designed to address the ethical, financial, legal, medical and psychological issues facing the fastest growing population in the U.S., Odyssey and similar programs allow professionals to better serve the seniors they care for on a daily basis. Like JHU, McDaniel College features programs in Gerontology through The Center for the Study of Aging (CSA). Here, required courses and electives from 12 departments and programs are offered including social work, communication, exercise science and physical education, biology and religion. The Erickson School of Aging Studies is another program that strives to educate leaders with the goal of improving society for older adults. Focusing on Aging, Management and Policy, the program enables students to immerse themselves in several disciplines using an active learning environment.
Various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families.
The Odyssey Certificate on Aging and similar programs are helping professionals improve the lives of older adults one class at a time. Through active learning environments, professionals in the field are gaining a greater understanding of the decisions facing today’s Boomers, ultimately helping them to enhance options for this growing group.
The Certificate on Aging at Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins Certificate on Aging is designed to meet the needs of those who serve aging adults and their families. Instructors teach a well-rounded curriculum suited for financial planners, nurses, lawyers, social workers, clergy, caregivers, volunteers, work/life planners and more. The Certificate on Aging: » Affordable » Exceptional faculty » Flexible, evening classes
» Part-time » No tests or grades » No admission requirements

creative solutions for aging in place V i l l ag e M ov e m e n t
the neighborhood you dream about the village movement is prompting communities to think about creative solutions for aging in place
I
magine you are living in a community where you know your neighbors. Imagine that your patio needs weeding, and you prefer not to do it. In this neighborhood, a simple phone call can have someone over to take care of your weeding. Perhaps you need some home repairs, or you are returning home from the hospital after surgery and need some assistance. In this neighborhood, you can get assistance from trusted volunteers and providers with one phone call. This type of neighborhood is becoming a reality, and the Washington, D.C. region and the state of Maryland are the launching pad for several.
How it All Started Nearly 90 percent of Baby Boomers say they want to stay in their homes and close to family and friends as long as possible, according to a survey by AARP. The challenge these individuals face, however, is that if they do nothing to prepare for future needs, they may not be able to continue living in their homes as long as they would like. Residents of Beacon Hill, a downtown Boston neighborhood, responded to the challenge of staying in their community by joining their neighbors to take control over where and how they will live in the years to come. They formed
a non-profit, Beacon Hill Village, which serves those aged 50+ in central Boston, to take advantage of social, cultural and wellness activities without leaving their homes. The various services provided are designed to respond to the members’ specific needs and wants and include concierge services, comprehensive home care, home repair, house cleaning, grocery shopping, transportation and other services. Where it is Going The original Beacon Hill has now grown to nearly 400 members. The innovative concept has also grown exponentially. Hundreds of other communities have been founded based on the same principles in the United States and beyond. In fact, by the tenth anniversary of the original Beacon Hill, more than 60 Villages had opened. These Villages are all connected through the Village-to-Village Network, which is a means for villages to learn from each other, exchange ideas, pool resources and share tools.

Help For Veter ans
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 44

Long-term care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/ or provide support for managing an ongoing illness.

Longterm care services may also be covered though Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or private funds. In some instances, Veterans may be able to use the Aid and Attendance Allowance to cover needed long-term care. The Aid and Attendance Allowance is 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).

HOW TO
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. Ideal for retirees, but not limited to those who have stopped working, active
adult communities are full of options and most of the costs are included in the living fees. Homes are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards, so residents can enjoy the tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking paths and fitness centers that are generally available within these communities. When researching this option, start by requesting information packets from prospective communities. Once you have narrowed down your options, schedule visits to each. While you are there, take
thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will 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.

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-

lessons from life financial professional offers advice from experience “I am the caretaker for my Dad, a job I truly love. I guess I am just returning the favor. I know some day it might be me in his shoes. I have many kids, and I am setting an example for them. This is the circle of life,” says Bill Cummings, of Cummings Financial Organization. In the musical “The Lion King,” there is a song called the “Circle of Life” (go ahead and sing it). Part of the lyrics state: “It’s the circle of life. And it moves us all. Through despair and hope, through faith and love. Till we find our place, on the path unwinding, in the circle, the circle of life.” “I had a life moment last week with one of my kids that made me think of the circle of life and how it has affected my business,” says Cummings. “One of our grown daughters was

lessons from life ... Continued from page 49
The circle of life has affected Cummings in significant ways. His father has Alzheimer’s and is in an Alzheimer’s unit at Horizon Bay Memory Care in Tampa, Florida. Cummings serves as his caretaker and helps with responsibilities such as bills, shopping, doctor appointments, etc. “I am also responsible for making sure he is living in the right facility and has the proper care,” says Cummings. After experiencing the difficulties of learning “Care-Giving 101” on his own, Cummings has provided four essential caregiving tips, so that you don’t have to learn the hard way: 1. Take care of yourself. Being the care taker to your loved one can be a truly gratifying experience, but in order for this to be the case, it is essential that you remember to take the time to maintain your own health and well-being. Remember, you cannot help others if you do not help yourself.
2. Create a team of elder care specialists. Seniors are often treated for a wide array of medical conditions. Navigating through the various types of physicians best suited for your loved one can seem like a daunting task, but a geriatrician is a medical doctor trained to help you in matters specific to seniors. 3. Do the numbers. Determining cash flow and what can be afforded for their care is essential. Certain Certified Public Accountants offer specialized services, which are available to meet the unique needs of seniors and their families. 4. Hire the right people. As a caregiver, you are essentially a project manager, and you cannot do everything. For this reason, it is important to do your homework when hiring institutions, attorneys, social workers, therapists, etc. Research reviews, contact references and take your time when making your decisions.
Cummings often reflects on how the “circle of life” caught him off-guard. He was not prepared when his father had a stroke four years ago. “I was a busy business owner and dealing with my Dad was not on my schedule,” he says. “Where was I to turn for advice, the Internet? I had to drive to multiple places, see multiple doctors, interview caretakers, etc. Boy, did I make a lot of mistakes. This affected me so much that I made a pact that I did not want any of my friends or clients to go through this experience.” Adding Elder Care to his practice because of this “pact,” Cummings has developed strategic relationships with caregivers, elder law attorneys, home downsizers, therapists, social workers, physicians and bill payers. “I help families assess healthcare costs, living costs, and how to pay for it while maximizing what goes to their loved ones. It is truly gratifying to help someone through this process.” Bill Cummings is President and Owner of Cummings Financial Organization.

tips for grandparents imparting wisdom and experience
T
here are 70 million grandparents in the U.S., more than ever before. According to the recent study Grandparents Investing in Grandchildren: The MetLife Study on How Grandparents Share Their Time, Values, and Money, grandparents are a vital source of financial support for American families and are in the enviable position of being sought after for wisdom and advice, even from teenagers. How can grandparents make the best of their relationships with their grandchildren and have the most impact possible? Based on its study, the MetLife Mature Market Institute is offering a tip sheet, Grandparents Investing in Grandchil-
dren: Actions Speak Louder Than Words, produced with Generations United. The guide provides grandparents with advice on how they can be influential in a positive way on topics including values, beliefs, civic engagement, heritage and even cooking. It reports that grandparents can also be an important influence on finances through both words and example. “Grandparents continue to be a positive influence on their grandchildren. Even though some are long distance and families seem to have less leisure time than in the past, it’s more critical than ever for grandparents to pass on life lessons, family history and positive values, through strong relationships with their grandchildren,” said Sandra Timmermann, Ed.D., director of the MetLife
Mature Market Institute. “This guide has important information to help make it easier for grandparents to facilitate interaction, finding common ground and mutual interest between their grandchildren and themselves,” said Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United. “From how to initiate meaningful conversation to creating memories and even how to be generous without sacrificing one’s own financial security, we have many ideas on how to make the best of these special relationships.” According to the MetLife tip sheet, grandparents should consider the following: 1. Share values and beliefs. Areas that resonate the most with grandchildren are honesty and good behavior, educaContinued on page 54

tion, family history, self-sufficiency, and good health habits. Grandparents are also successful at teaching their grandchildren the importance of community involvement through philanthropy, volunteerism and voting. 2. Celebrate family. The guide suggests taking the time to create family history through an audiovisual message, a family tree, photos and/or by preparing meals together, which creates the perfect setting for conversations about family recipes. 3. Invest in your grandchildren’s financial security. Increasingly, grandparents are helping to support their grandchildren, especially through assistance with tuition. Grandparents can be particularly helpful by also helping grandchildren to acquire financial literacy skills. They help foster early saving habits and encourage smart spending and investing.
Grandparents can teach their grandchildren important values and beliefs through both lessons and actions.
The tip sheet contains a list of resources for grandparents and is available at www.MatureMarketInstitute.com. The MetLife Mature Market Institute is Metropolitan Life Insurance Company’s center of expertise in aging, longevity and
the generations. Formed in 1986, Generations United is the national membership organization focused solely on improving the lives of children, youth, and older people through intergenerational strategies, programs, and public policies.

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings. Some communities
also have tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. Most offer a variety of meal plans with the option to prepare meals in your apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services but some are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers. Paying for Independent Living Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents can purchase their own units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while
in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. To learn more, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. What to Look For Research your options and request information from those communities to which you have narrowed your focus. A major question for those who are considering an independent living community is how to meet their future health care needs. It is important to have a specific plan covering various levels of care, especially if you are only interested in making one move during this time. You also may want to question whether to select a fee-for-service arrangement or an all-inclusive fee.

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

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

Residents of assisted living usually include anyone who needs some help with the activities of daily life. This includes eating, bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, medication management and walking. Survey data from the National Center for Assisted Living reports that 81 percent of assisted living residents need assistance with one or more of the activities of daily living. Most communities offer three meals a day served in a common dining area. Many also offer some type of assistance with transportation. Housekeeping and laundry services are standard offerings. Staff members are available to meet resident needs 24 hours a day. Most commu-
Choosing a Community It is a good idea to carefully review several of the available options. First and foremost, consider the needs and desires of the potential resident. Begin the initial process of narrowing the search by reviewing a list of all the local communities. Request a brochure from your top choices, as well as other specific information including the resident agreement or contract, a list of services and amenities, detailed prices, staffing information, admission and discharge criteria, and community rules. It is advisable to visit a facility more than once to get a complete feel for the lifestyle at the community. Talk with staff and residents and tour the entire facility.

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

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

HOW TO

W
hen considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and 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 is $2,714 per month or $32,572 annually. These figures are averages only and do not account for more
affordable or subsidized options that are 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.

HOW TO
find residential living
a more close-knit way of life
A
ssisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and serving of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds.
owned
and
As with any community, it is important to visit the homes to talk with staff and the current residents and their families. Be sure that you are given specific information about caregiver training, community
amenities and costs. For more information, a comprehensive guide to selecting a residence can be obtained through the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living at www.ccal.org.

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

practical ways, to free up some of your time and energy. If you are comfortable, for friends and relatives who may not have time to pitch in, consider asking for financial assistance, so that you can hire some outside help and utilize other resources. People have a right to refuse your request, but they won’t even know that you and your mother need help, unless you tell them. If you try to do it all alone, you’re only going to hurt yourself in the long run. Caregivers have a tendency to over-extend themselves, at risk to both their own health and their financial and internal resources. Take the time to reach out to others, including family, friends, neighbors, and social and community organizations. Remember that if you don’t take care of your own health, job, and family and
maintain a balanced life, you may suffer the consequences of this imbalance. Ask yourself: Who would take care of your mother if you were no longer able to? Be as proactive for yourself as you are for your mother.
H
ow do we get seniors to learn not to wait. —Diane Dear Diane: Seniors tend to wait for what they want or need due to a few different possibilities. It could be from a lifetime of thinking of others first, or from the perception of not being worthy, or from a lifestyle of always being polite and waiting for one’s turn. When the senior in question is putting off what needs to be done, and the waiting is detrimental to their health and well being, you may want to bring to their attention that
waiting is not the best plan of action (or in this case, non-action). But we cannot redo someone’s life patterns or established ways of dealing with the world. Each person has the responsibility of dealing with life as they see fit. Sometimes in our haste to help, we take away the senior’s independence. Only if someone is in immediate danger should we intervene. Dr. Marion (Marion Somers, Ph.D.) is the author of “Elder Care Made Easier” and has more than 40 years of experience as a geriatric care manager, caregiver, speaker and expert in all things elder care. She offers practical tools, solutions and advice to help caregivers everywhere through her book, web site, iPhone apps (Elder 411/911), crosscountry speaking tours and more.

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 long-term care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints against specific longterm 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 long-term 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.
Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services.

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

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

HOW TO
pay for hospice
financial assistance is available Most hospice services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. 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. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites. For more information, see www. caringinfo.org or the information on hospice care at www.cancer.org.

Hospice
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.

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s 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.
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.

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
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.

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

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

how to pay for home care 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 Medicare-certified 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 a limited number of skilled home visits. Costs for these services vary greatly depending upon coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Contact your local Office on Aging or State Department of Health to find out if there are funds from social services block grants available to cover home care costs.

en is wonderful. He is so good at reading my husband’s personality and gauging his needs,” said Elizabeth* of Katshina “Ben” Nosonga, her husband’s in-home caregiver provided by Options for Senior America Corp. “He knows when to encourage my husband and when to give him his space.” Formerly a business law attorney, Elizabeth’s husband, Robert*, was diagnosed with leukemia last spring. As a result of the disease, he lost his hearing. Following treatment, he spent five months in a rehabilitation facility. Once he was able to return to the couple’s home, Elizabeth knew she would need help to care for him.
Elizabeth turned to Options for Senior America, a local in-home care firm that is celebrating its 25th year in business this year. She and Robert were already familiar with the quality and affordability that Options offered, since they worked with the company previously to arrange care for Robert’s mother. Options helped Elizabeth find Ben, who now provides care for Robert five days a week while she is at work. An executive assistant for a non-profit agency, Elizabeth couldn’t continue to work full time without the help of Options. “I don’t have to take off work to take him to all of his doctor’s appointments,” Elizabeth said. “I also have the peace of mind of knowing
that he is not alone in a non-hearing situation.” Elizabeth learned first-hand how dangerous it can be to be left alone when you can’t hear. After her father passed away, she returned to their home late at night to find the carbon monoxide alarm going off, while Robert was sound asleep. “No one was hurt, but that was a blaring reminder that he shouldn’t be home alone,” she recalled. “Now, Ben takes my husband everywhere—to doctors’ offices, the grocery store, the bank, the post office and to his chemo appointments,” Elizabeth said. With the help of Ben and Options, Elizabeth is able to continue working, knowing her husband is always well cared for and safe.

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

Home Car e Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers If facing this decision, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision: homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.”
1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or

2. Are social security, federal and state

Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n

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

s long as I am well and able to do for other people, that is what I want to do,” said Mary Poole Hartsock, who, at 90 years old, is still working as an in-home caregiver for Right at Home of Frederick, Howard, Carroll, and Washington Counties. Mary has been with her current client for six years, and although they are nearly the same age, she loves helping him maintain his independence. “I take care of him—remind him to take his medicine, keep his apartment clean, take him to run errands,” she said. Born in West Virginia, Mary has always had a strong work ethic. In addition to working in various service and hospitality industry positions, Mary also raised one son, Dale Poole. After moving to Maryland, Mary spent years working at the Francis Scott Key Hotel in Frederick, holding positions ranging from assistant manager to banquet

time to call 9-1-1 biological warnings many ignore
E
ach year, about 600,000 Americans—one in four—in the United States die from heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Of the 715,000 Americans who have a heart attack each year, about 525,000 are first-timers, says the CDC, and those individuals may not know what’s happening. Sadly, many people do not get to the hospital on time, says paramedic Dale Hemstalk. “If someone is having a heart attack, for example, they should get to the hospital without delay upon the initial onset of symptoms,” says Hemstalk, who is also a software developer with Forté Holdings, Inc., a provider of health-care software that works closely with paramedics, emergency medical technicians and firefighters to speed delivery of medical services. “We live in an age in which we should be taking greater advantage of our technology for health purposes - but you have to call for help first,” Hemstalk says. Here, he shares warning signs that it’s time dial 9-1-1.
squeezing or pain in the center of the chest that goes away and comes back; pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck or arms; chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath. For women, symptoms tend to be back or jaw pain; difficulty breathing; nausea or dizziness; unexplainable anxiety or fatigue; mild flu-like symptoms; palpitations, cold sweats or dizziness. Triggers tend to be different between the sexes, too. In women, it’s often stress; in men, it’s physical exertion.
Symptoms for a stroke There are clear, telltale characteristics of a stroke, including sagging on one side of the face, an arm that’s drifting down and garbled speech. But there are also more subtle signs from the onset, such as sudden numbness of one side of the body, including an arm, leg and part of the face; sudden confusion; trouble speaking and understanding; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden loss of balance; and sudden headache for no apparent reaSymptoms for a heart attack son. Risk factors include diabetes, tobacco Men and women frequently report dif- use, hypertension, heart disease, a previous ferent symptoms. Men tend to have the stroke, irregular heartbeat, obesity, high “classic” signs, such as pressure, fullness, cholesterol and heavy alcohol use.
Symptoms for heart failure This is not the same as a heart attack, which occurs when a vessel supplying the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients becomes completely blocked. Heart failure is a chronic condition where the heart can’t pump properly, which may be due to fluid in the lungs. Warning signs include shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen ankles, chest congestion and an overall limitation on activities. Just one of these symptoms may not be cause for alarm, but more than one certainly is. Risk factors include various heart problems, serious viral infections, drug or alcohol abuse, severe lung disease, and chemotherapy. “At no point should anyone be discouraged from calling 911; the bottom line is, if you feel it’s an emergency and you need to call 911, call 911,” Hemstalk says. “There are many reasons to seek assistance from emergency responders, and they are not limited to those that I’ve mentioned.” Dale Hemstalk is a United States Air Force Veteran and Career Firefighter Paramedic. Joining Forte Holdings’ team was a natural progression combining his love of the Emergency Medical Services industry and new technology.

late-onset depression & chronic medical conditions
A
dults with no previous history of depression can develop it late in life due to changes and losses they experience. Lateonset depression often occurs simultaneously with a chronic medical condition, happening for the first time at age 65 or older. Late-onset depression can develop due to physical limitations, decreased independence and the interruption of social networks that accompany a chronic medical condition or the onset of a new medical condition. For example, coronary artery disease is a risk factor for depression; while having depression can put you at risk for developing coronary artery disease. Depression is not a normal part of aging, but it is often not viewed as an actual medical issue. When seniors experience depression and a chronic medical condition together, the depression can aggravate the condition and interfere with successful treatment. The coexistence of major depression with chronic conditions is associated with more physician visits, emergency department visits, days spent in bed because of illness and functional disability. “Caregivers of seniors who have nev-

HOW TO
be a balanced caregiver
By Jody Gastfriend, LICSW
C n
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 caregiving rituals can be handled more effectively, without abandoning career, family and other aspects of life. Here are few things to consider:
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.
1. Have conversations early and often. Unless your loved ones are completely incapacitated, you must include them in discussions about their care and accommodations. Approach decision-making from a place of love and respect. Many caregivers get frustrated by their parent or grandparent’s resistance to help. But that resistance may be a need to
exert some control, especially at a time when things feel out of 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 Continued on page 138

HOW TO
locate resources
help is available in your neighborhood and across the country Government 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.

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. A brother or sister who lives across the country may not be able to make daily visits, but perhaps he or she could pay for or a cleaning service to help with laundry and housekeeping. And what about those teenagers striving for more independence? If they have a driver’s license, they can be tasked with making a daily wellness check, running errands or tending to Grandma’s pets.
and this is often all that is needed. 5. Explore community resources. Finding a handicap-accessible transportation service to take your mom to the hairdresser or to visit friends can go a long way toward maintaining her mental and emotional well-being. If Mom can’t leave the house, look into religious organizations, senior centers and local agencies on aging that offer home supports or social calls. If your senior feels isolated and needs more company, sometimes variety can spice up life. Many colleges and schools of social work have volunteer programs for students interested in aging studies. 6. Reassess your routine every two weeks. Or more often if conditions are changing rapidly. See what’s working and what isn’t. Talk to your parents and grandparents, spouse or partner— find out if they’re happy with the care they’re getting, or if they’d prefer more, less or different. Consider whether your loved one is still safe living at home and whether you feel their mental or physical condition warrants a change. And don’t be discouraged by setbacks, along with an occasional crisis or two. If you keep yourself grounded, tend to your own needs, and are open to support, you will be able to withstand the ups and downs of caregiving. And hopefully enjoy the journey as well.
4. Manage medications and therapies. Develop a simple system to track medication, prescribed exercises, nutritional supplements and other health related needs. There are websites that allow for information-sharing among family caregivers, which can be great. But a simple calendar or spreadsheet along with pre-filled pill boxes can also work. Make sure the system is user-friendly for all who will rely on it. Leave a spot for notes to indicate when medications must be refilled or supplies replenished. Keep in mind that most paid caregivers, unless they are nurses, are not allowed to administer medication—in other Jody Gastfriend, LICSW, is the VP of words, hand out pills.

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

advocating home care trade association promotes in-home care
T
he Maryland National Capital Homecare Association (MNCHA) is the only trade association for the home care sector in Maryland. It represents both non-profit and for-profit health care providers in Maryland and Washington, DC including: • Medicare-certified home health agencies, • Private duty agencies and registries, • Home medical equipment businesses, and • Related businesses that provide services to providers listed above. MNCHA members are the executives and decision makers of the industry, but staff members of each member organization have access to a full array of educational, government affairs, training, meeting and membership services. Membership includes all the major hospital systems, non-profits and businesses in Maryland involved in homecare. MNCHA’s prestigious Board of Directors directs the activities of the association, along with its active committees and membership. MNCHA is a primary provider of information and training for the home care sector and last year provided 12 educational conferences or meetings on clinical, service delivery or business issues.

HOW TO
prevent falls
accidents can be serious for seniors
A
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Common injuries from falls include hip fractures and head traumas. For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life threatening injuries. Even if a fall does not result in an injury, it will likely leave the senior feeling scared and may lead to a gradual limiting of activities. Fear, combined with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, will only increase the risk of a fall in the future. National and local community and non-profit organizations are working with seniors and their families to help decrease the risk of falls and lessen the impact of falls after they occur. These organizations provide information and services that may help improve the quality of life for seniors.
face. The statistics on falls and the injuries they cause are alarming. For instance: • In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries, according to the CDC. • The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade (CDC). • In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billion—$179 million for fatal falls and $19 billion for nonfatal fall injuries. This equals $28.2 billion in 2010 dollars (CDC). Injuries from a fall can range from minor to severe, but the risk of serious injury is much greater among the senior adult population. For many seniors, falls are the initial injury in what becomes a long hospitalization and recovery process. For others, falls may result in a loss of independence, or in the most severe cases, a loss of life.
Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg Understanding the Risks muscles naturally weaken with age; On both a national and a local level, weight-bearing exercises that focus on the risk of falls is one of the largest, pre- improving leg strength can help mitiventable medical challenges that seniors gate the risk of falling.
For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor Continued on page 142

changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improvement all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options. Resources The CDC is partnering with several other government agencies to promote a national action plan to prevent falls, which includes research, state grant funding, evaluation projects and information projects. Education efforts have included the development of brochures, posters and a pocket guide for physicians. Information adapted from the Centers for Disease Control. More information is available at www.cdc.gov/HomeandRecreationalSafety/Falls/adultfalls.html.
There are several steps that can be taken to identify and correct potential fall hazards in or around the home.

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, I went to the pharmacy and was told that the drug my doctor prescribed me was not covered by my Medicare Part D plan. The pharmacist said that I could try to file an appeal. What is an appeal? —Marius
Dear Marius, This is a great question. An appeal is a formal request you can make to your Medicare coverage if you disagree with a coverage decision on a health care service or drug you need. In this case, you can start to file an appeal if your Medicare prescription drug plan, also known as a Part D plan, will not cover a medication you need. Remember, you can get Medicare Part D coverage in two different ways. You can either get Medicare Part D through a stand-alone Part D plan that works with Original Medicare or through a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan, also known as a Medicare private health plan that provides you with prescription drug coverage. Note that your pharmacist should also give you a notice called Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and Your Rights. This is a notice that explains the process of contacting your Part D plan to request coverage of the drug you need. Keep in mind that this is simply an educational notice that provides you with very general information on the first steps of the appeal process. This is important to

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

Why Should These Retirement Communities be on Your Short List? Because they are accredited. Nationally, only 15 percent of all Continuing Care Retirement Communities
have earned the "seal of approval" from the non-profit CARF Continuing Care Accreditation Commission. The CARF-CCAC is the nation's only system for accrediting continuing care retirement communities.
