preventing and treating ringing or buzzing in the ears If you have ever experienced a ringing, buzzing or even roaring in your ears, even when there is nothing around you actually creating that noise, then you know what it’s like to have tinnitus. Causes of tinnitus A common cause of tinnitus is exposure to loud sounds, which can damage the sensory cells of the inner ear. Tinnitus has also been associated with ear infections, aging, excessive ear wax, high blood pressure and even sensory nerve disorders.

HOW TO
prevent health care fraud
Detecting and preventing health care fraud is the responsibility of all Americans. When it comes to Medicare and Medicaid fraud, few individuals can do more to prevent this crime than the beneficiaries themselves. To help beneficiaries avoid, detect and prevent fraud, the U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) funds SMP programs in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. Formerly known as Senior Medicare Patrol Programs, SMPs help educate local beneficiaries, empowering them to prevent health care fraud in their communities. SMPs recruit and train volunteers who provide valuable education to beneficiaries and caregivers. Volunteers disseminate information and provide group classes in the local community. They provide direct education to peers,
beneficiaries and caregivers in their neighborhood. Their efforts help seniors and caregivers become more aware of the signs of fraud, which in turn makes them better and safer consumers. In short, knowledge is one of the best defenses against healthcare fraud. The SMP program empowers seniors through increased awareness and understanding of healthcare programs. This knowledge helps seniors protect themselves from the economic and healthrelated consequences of Medicare and Medicaid fraud, error and abuse. SMP projects also work to resolve beneficiary complaints of potential fraud in partnership with state and national fraud control/consumer protection entities. These activities support the Administration on Aging’s (AoA) goals of promoting increased choice and greater independence among older adults. Of
course, working directly with caregivers is essential to achieving this goal. Families and caregivers play an important role in caring for relatives, friends and loved ones. Caregivers, both paid and unpaid, provide care for patients, residents and loved ones with chronic illnesses or disabilities. Caregivers often play a role in assisting beneficiaries with locating medical services and filing claims and billings. Therefore, caregivers and beneficiaries alike can benefit from the education provided by SMPs. To find an SMP in your area, please visit http://www.smpresource.org or call The National Consumer Protection Technical Resource Center at 1-877-8082468. Information adapted from http:// www.aoa.gov/AoA_ programs/Elder_ Rights/SMP/index.aspx and http://www. virginiasmp.org/.
Billions of Medicare $$ are Lost Every Year to
FRAUD, WASTE and ABUSE! The Medicare program and Medicare beneficiaries lose an estimated $60 to $80 billion each year to health care fraud as older adults are increasingly targeted by scam artists. Virginia Senior Medicare Patrol Project (SMP) Can Help! Working in partnership with local Area Agencies on Aging across Virginia, trusted federal and state-wide partners and a trained corps of volunteers, the Virginia SMP program offers community education and training about how to protect, detect and report health care fraud.

Taking the Plunge
A
By Christy Brudin
s the sun begins to rise over the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, a few dedicated swimmers prepare to take the plunge. Even at this early hour, their enthusiasm is palpable. These swimmers are residents of Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Winchester, Va., featuring a state-of-the-art aquatic center. While the swimmers certainly enjoy the physical benefits of working out, it is the social connections that keep them coming back. “The pool is really a social meeting place,” explained Kathy Headley, Westminster-Canterbury’s Wellness and Vitality Manager. “Of course, we’re working out at the same time and doing valuable exercises that most of us can’t do on land.” While many residents swim purely for recreation, Kathy goes on to note that some of the community’s swimmers are recovering from a joint replacement, coping with arthritis or managing a chronic illness. “They can do so much more in the water: run, jump, and walk, and it’s more resistance and just a better workout,” she said. As several face personal health challenges, the swimmers have become part of a tight-knit group in an extremely welcoming community. “Even though there are nearly 400 residents, this community is one big family,” said Kathy. Westminster-Canterbury’s swimmers unanimously agree. While they are certainly dedicated to their workouts, they are even more committed to their fellow swimmers, and they are always looking for new recruits.
A Pool Ambassador An avid lap swimmer, Paul Ziluca has helped unite Westminster-Canterbury’s growing group of swimmers by encouraging residents to take full advantage of the oversized pool. Paul started swimming to increase his lung capacity and battle his worsening asthma. In the past four years, he has quietly lent a hand to make sure the aquatic programming meets the needs of the various types of swimmers on campus. “When I came here, I did my best to avoid doing anything. I was going to be really retired,” Paul recalled.
“Within just a couple of years, I was involved in everything. It’s been very engaging for me and quite an eye opener about how to manage your life as you get older.” While Paul is certainly proud of his own aquatic accomplishments, he beams when he speaks of his wife, Louise, and her achievements in the pool. “We moved here because of my wife’s Parkinson’s disease,” Paul said. “Now, she’s in a wheelchair, but this summer, she participated in the aquatic walking event in our Senior Olympics, and she won a gold medal!” Paul went on to explain that Louise’s determination has become a source of inspiration for other residents.
Aquatic Athletes (and Friends) Bob and Cari Sherwood were inspired by her aunt to move to a retirement community early, so they could enjoy the lifestyle. The couple is now among the youngest residents at Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury, and they have never regretted their move. “We’re just delighted that we moved. Within six months, we got to know so many pleasant people, and we’ve become very close to a number of them,” Bob said. In addition to their new friends, the Sherwoods also love all the community amenities, including the pool. They routinely share this perk with their grandson, who enjoys open swim time when he visits each week. Bob also participates in an advanced aquatic class – even occasionally teaching it – which has become a balm for his spirit. “The class is more than just a class,” he said. “It’s become a social event in and of itself. It’s a lot more than just swimming.” Bob goes on to explain that in addition to aquatic exercises the group enjoys singing traditional songs and taking advantage of the acoustics in the pool area. The group also selects a word of the day, which they use as part of their workouts. “I think the people in the class are, if you will, missionaries for the benefits of exercise,” Bob said. The class members are also one example among many of what life is like in a strong community: full of camaraderie and support.

A Great Comeback Lydia Mefford was desperately looking for support when she discovered Westminster-Canterbury. Her husband, who had Alzheimer’s disease, had recently passed away. As his primary caregiver, she quickly realized she needed friendship and interaction. She found a wonderful group of people who sustained her through her grieving process and were there for her when she faced her own health challenges. After a traumatic fall resulted in a broken meniscus and excruciating pain, Lydia benefited from the physical and emotional support of the community’s residents and staff. “When my orthopedic surgeon said I needed a physical therapist and a therapeutic pool, I knew just where to go,” Lydia smiled as she recalled. “I came home to Westminster-Canterbury and spoke with our physical therapist immediately. After two weeks of his magical maneuvers, the pain was going away. Now, I can walk in high heels anytime I want.” After regaining her mobility, Lydia kept swimming. She’s now able to fully enjoy all that her new home has to offer. “I’ve never had more fun in my whole life,” Lydia exclaimed. “I really think perhaps I’ve died and gone to heaven.” Whether they are lifelong swimmers or new to the sport, Westminister-Canterbury’s aquatic athletes relish the warm welcome they receive at the community pool.
Swim Buddies The Sherwoods certainly aren’t the only WestminsterCanterbury residents who benefit from the accessibility of aquatic exercise. Elizabeth and Jimmie Harp swim six days a week, all year round. They started swimming because Elizabeth was experiencing back pain. “The doctor told me that if I didn’t keep moving, soon I wouldn’t be able to move,” Elizabeth said. Jimmie became her swim buddy, and the two now enjoy spending early mornings together in the water. The couple moved to Shenandoah Valley WestminsterCanterbury three-and-a-half years ago after some of their friends exposed them to the wonderful lifestyle. “I wanted to be around more people and see them on a more regular basis,” said Elizabeth. “Too many people say they’re not ready, but we wanted to move before it was an emergency.” Since moving, the couple has become very involved in the community. Jimmie is a devoted woodworker and has repaired furniture and built custom pieces for his fellow residents in Westminster-Canterbury’s woodworking shop. Elizabeth enjoys the community’s many entertainment and volunteer opportunities.
True Team Spirit Some folks dive right in. Others wade in more slowly. These divergent approaches could be used to describe both swimming and retirement living. Some retirees make the move early and never look back; others take their time making a decision. However, almost all retirees find that once they take the plunge into retirement living, they quickly discover new interests, great friends and old passions. In the wee hours of the morning, a few dedicated swimmers make their way across the quiet campus of Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury — excited to greet the dawning of a new day and eager to take the plunge once again. Having discovered a pastime with unmatched physical, social and emotional benefits, they are now busy soaking up all that retirement living has to offer.

Her newfound love is one of the many things she treasures about this new chapter in her life. Today, Julia focuses on finishing her book, How Do You Spell JOY? The title is derived from an innocent question asked of her by a young Chilean refugee as he wrote a letter
to his grandmother in Chile about his new life after being adopted by Julia’s church. Whether as an author, educator, missionary, mother of four or grandmother of eight, Julia looks forward to starting each new chapter. After all, a new chapter offers opportunities to give and receive JOY- no matter how you spell it!

HOW TO
prepare to move
roll up your sleeves, or let a professional help
T
he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of. Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items
you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, take a general tip from freelancers and independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two! Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret having given away too much too soon, or to have important things lost in the shuffle. Some excerpts from this article used from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).

HOW TO
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
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
protect your assets
elect non-crisis planning for you or your loved one n by Susan Piette
A
re you getting older? Are your parents? Do you and/or they have a plan? Consider Joe and Helen. They met just after he was discharged from the Army. They married, raised two boys and a girl, worked hard their entire lives, retired with a nice nest egg of funds, and looked forward to time with their daughter’s children who lived a few hours away. Their first son lived out of state, had a well-paying job and was married with no children but separated from his wife, whom Helen was never very fond of. Their second son had never quite “launched,” was not married, had a hard time holding a job and was currently on
governmental low-income assistance. Joe managed the family assets and finances. Their home and a small checking account were held in Joe and Helen’s name, but all investment accounts were in his name alone. Joe did fairly well in the stock market, and he was certain that the assets would not only provide for him and Helen but also provide a nice inheritance for their children and especially their beloved grandchildren. Helen’s memory had been on the decline for some time, but the children didn’t realize how bad it was until Joe slipped while shoveling snow, broke his hip and had to stay in a rehabilitation facility. Helen could not be left alone and was not going to be able to care for Joe when he came home. Helen went to stay
with her daughter, who temporarily reduced her full time employment to part time so that she and Helen could visit Joe 3-4 times a week. The daughter had to hire home healthcare aides to be with Helen when she had to be at work. Joe was recovering well but suddenly developed a blood clot and died. Neither Joe nor Helen had executed a will, a power of attorney or an advance healthcare directive. None of the children ever wanted to talk about the “what ifs” and now the family was in crisis. They had failed to plan. 1. Fact/Question: Joe and Helen’s house and bank account are titled jointly but the assets in the investment accounts were held in Joe’s name alone. Continued on page 50

protect your assets ... Continued from page 49
With no Will in place providing direction on who should receive these assets, how will they be distributed? Answer: When a loved one dies without leaving a will, he or she is said to have died intestate. When this happens, any assets held in the decedent’s name alone will be distributed according to the intestate laws of the state where the decedent lived. Warning: such distribution may or may not accord with that person’s wishes. Unintended results: • Helen will only inherit a portion of the investment assets (under Pennsylvania law: $30,000 plus 1⁄2 of the balance of the funds) and the children will receive equal shares of the remainder of funds. • Should the son who is separated get divorced, the daughter-in-law, who Helen doesn’t care for, could receive a portion of Joe’s estate in the divorce settlement. • If the son on governmental assistance accepts the inheritance money, he will most likely be disqualified from his governmental assistance and have to reapply after the inheritance money is used up; or he may need to utilize a por-
tion of those funds to establish a type of trust for the funds, so that he may continue to receive the governmental assistance and have the inheritance funds supplement, not replace, his governmental assistance. 2. Fact/Question: Helen no longer has the capacity to execute an advance healthcare directive. What is an advance healthcare directive and why is it so important to have one in place? Answer: An advance healthcare directive is an instruction given by you concerning the medical treatment or care that you would want - or would not want - should circumstances arise where you are no longer capable or competent to give such an instruction. Advance healthcare directives are the best way to ensure that your express wishes for health care are known and honored. Unintended result: Helen’s wishes for her medical treatment and end of life decisions may not be followed. 3. Fact/Question: The daughter provided caregiver services and expended personal funds for the benefit of Helen without documenting the arrangement. Can she be reimbursed? Answer: Yes, but if the daughter ac-
cepts payment(s) for services and expenditures without a properly documented caregiver agreement and Medicaid is needed as a source of funding for skilled nursing care for Helen, such payment(s) may be determined to be an inappropriate transfer of funds and cause an ineligibility period for Medicaid benefits, resulting in the family having to pay for skilled nursing services that Medicaid would have otherwise covered. Joe and Helen failed to put in place a “Senior Plan.” What’s your Senior Plan? We all want peace of mind about our welfare and our assets. You are the only one who can make important decisions about how you would like to live. Those decisions MUST be documented. In this case, information is power! Anyone who is aging, or has elder parents should engage in non-crisis planning and review their SENIOR PLAN with an experienced elder law attorney. Susan Piette is an attorney with the estates and trusts group of the law firm of Hamburg, Rubin, Mullin, Maxwell & Lupin, which has been assisting parents and their children with estate planning for over three decades.
Edward Zetlin LAW Advocating for Seniors and the Disabled My first job out of law school was with Legal Services—a firm that represents low income clients. That was long ago but it taught me that having a beautiful office or a big staff is not necessary to the crafting of good legal solutions. What is important is to have a knowledgeable lawyer who has the ability to make complex issues clear and who has a genuine concern for costs.

HOW TO
get help managing money
stop watching those statements and bills pile up
O
lder adults frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical bills are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers (DMMs) can help manage these concerns by monitoring their client’s accounts and outstanding bills, while also protecting against identity theft. What is Daily Money Management? Daily Money Management is a service that addresses an issue facing many senior citizens: handling paperwork that seems to expand endlessly. Daily Money Managers provide personal financial assistance, usually in the client’s home, while simultaneously safeguarding the valuable identity they’ve worked a lifetime to establish. What services does a Daily Money Manager offer?
They offer an array of services, which include balancing checkbooks, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. This kind of record keeping provides peace of mind for the client and, in some cases, for their family. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health is identity protection. Several firms offer identity theft protection, fraud protection and other security-related services for seniors. “Seniors have a lot to lose, and often don’t have the background or tools to recognize or spot fraudulent activity quickly enough,” said David Poulos, Chief Marketing Officer of Senior Guardian Services based in Baltimore. “We can give seniors peace of mind by paying their routine invoices for them, reviewing bank statements, reviewing marketing offers and other incoming mail, and protecting them from being exploited.”
Personal PaPerwork services for elderly Persons since 1985.
Additionally, DMMs can help with income tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions that often mean the client will pay lower taxes each year. How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend or colleague are a good place to start. If necessary, contact your local Area Agency on Aging for suggestions. The American Association of Daily Money Managers’ website (www.aadmm.com) can also provide valuable information that will help you find a reliable DMM. Once you have found a DMM you are interested in hiring, it is a good idea to ask about their experience and qualifications. It is especially important to know whether your DMM is bonded and insured. You also want to determine how the DMM you plan to hire bills for their work. Hourly fees vary by locale, but in this area, the average range is $40.00 to $80.00 per hour.

HOW TO
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it With 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 a geriatric care manager. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropri-
ate 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. 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
Helping Seniors for Over 24 Years
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. Visit caremanager.org for more information.

ome of the most invaluable resources for retirees and caregivers are the well established government programs that are designed to meet a wide array of needs. Government agencies can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. Most importantly, they are a place to start researching different living options regardless of income level or personal need. 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. Seven million Americans age 60 and over and more than 325,000 caregivers are served by this network. The key components of the network include the Adminis-
tration on Aging, the State Units of Aging, trustworthy resources. To contact the Eldercare Locator, call 1-800-677-1116 or visit and the Area Agencies on Aging. www.eldercare.gov.

t first, Linda* just seemed a little forgetful, according to James*, her husband of 43 years. Then, her employer started noticing some problems and suggested she take a yearlong sabbatical. During that time, Linda’s memory deteriorated and her increasing confusion eventually led to a car accident. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the family knew they needed to act. “After many diagnoses and mis-diagnoses, she was finally diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s,” James said. As Linda’s diagnosis was complicated by vision problems, her medical issues and the resulting treatments were becoming increasingly difficult for James to manage. When a bad medication reaction led to a psychotic episode, he had no choice but to admit her to a psychiatric ward. “When she leaves [the ward], she has lots of doctors and lots of medicine,” said James. “I’m dealing with four different doctors and not one of them talks to the others, and I was getting really frustrated.”

HOW TO
consider a gcm and costs
finding the right care manager and discussing fees When considering a GCM, 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 (NAPGCM) has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as GCM referrals can be obtained at www.caremanager.org. How Much Will It Cost? According to the NAPGCM website, there are many different ways of charging fees and each GCM works differently. You will need to know how often s/he bills. Some GCMs bill weekly, some bill monthly, some bill upon completion of
work. Ask about these matters at the initial conference and ask for them in writing, so there will be no surprises. If you don’t understand, ask again. If you need clarification, say so. It is very important that you feel comfortable regarding your financial obligations. In addition to fees, most GCMs will charge for out-of-pocket expenses, which may include charges for mileage, care giving supplies, long-distance telephone calls, etc. Find out if there will be any other incidental costs. There may also be additional fees if outside professionals are called into the case. It is imperative that the GCM receives approval to bring others in before the situation arises, if at all possible. As mentioned on the NAPGCM website,
Individualized Services for the Elderly and Disabled
make sure you have all questions answered before proceeding with an agreement for services. You should receive a written agreement including fees before the commencement of services. Since fees for a GCM range, 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 of the client, the GCM then spends a few more hours researching and discussing options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan.

Resolving Communication Breakdowns When it comes to the different challenges associated with caring for a loved one, poor communication is often at the root of the problem. You can take comfort in the fact that there are others who have grappled with the very same issues and who can share their mistakes and solutions. These individuals can be found through support groups, your employer’s human resources department, or even just by asking trusted friends and neighbors. Seeking Objectivity Sometimes an objective third party’s opinion is beneficial when you are faced with a personal family problem. Mediation professionals specialize in resolving conflicts, making compromises and leading family members through the communication process. One unique feature of this process is the non-judgmental mediator, who is skilled in improving communication among the family members. Seeking Support Attending support group meetings will allow you to meet with likeminded people, share similar scenarios, confide in each other and build
healthy camaraderie. Furthermore, important resources can be shared and solutions from experienced members will abound. Seeking Advocates When it comes to a breakdown in communication between residents and communities, ombudsman are available to advocate on behalf of the residents’ rights. This national program is a great solution as the ombudsman will investigate any com-

plaints and determine what appropriate action should be taken. Seeking Assistance Employee Assistance Programs, often known as EAPs, are a service put in place by most mid-sized and large employers.

HOW TO
choose care insurance
when and how to make the purchase
L
ong-term care insurance helps to cover the expenses accrued from all types of long-term care, including care for long-term physical illnesses, disabilities or cognitive impairment. Unlike traditional medical care, long-term care generally helps an individual maintain their current lifestyle while helping to ensure stability and comfort. The decision of whether or not you will need long-term care is a very personal one. Still, individuals should begin to consider long-term care before they have difficulty performing the activities of daily living. Who Pays for LTC Insurance? The short answer is, you and your family (at least most of the time). However, you should take several things into account, such as your current assets and a possible eligibility for assistance. If you think you will need long-term care, be aware that the costs of care are extreme. Major Medical insurance will not pay most of these costs because conventional plans only cover skilled care, as opposed to the intermediate or custodial care normally provided in an assisted living, nursing facility or by a home health care worker. Individuals with a physical illness or a cognitive impairment may re-
quire long-term care, which Medicaid will not pay for until they have “spent down” their assets. Therefore, this type of insurance can prevent a family from facing financial ruin due to the costs of care. If you have less than $25,000 a year in retirement income and less than $200,000 in assets, Medicaid can absorb the costs of long-term care once you have depleted these limited resources. Additionally, long-term care insurance can provide the funds for those wishing to age in place safely.
BENEFIT PERIOD TO BE COVERED.
This is the length of time that the policy will pay you the daily benefit for covered services. You can generally choose to buy coverage from 2-5 years or for a lifetime. Keep in mind that some conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, may require up to eight years of care. A three-year benefit period will cover 85 percent of claims; a five year benefit period will cover approximately 95 percent of filed claims. DAILY BENEFIT AMOUNT. Insurance policies offer daily benefit amounts ranging from $50 to $250 per day. You should research the cost of different facilities and at-home care in your community to determine how much insurance you should purchase. However, you may incur charges over the listed daily costs for medical supplies and special assistance. BENEFIT TRIGGERS. The two major triggers that determine when benefits are payable are functional disability and cognitive impairment. It is important that these are listed in the policy as “stand-alone triggers,” i.e. you don’t have to exhibit both to start collecting benefits.
What Are the Potential Drawbacks? While this type of insurance can help you preserve assets and ensure you receive necessary care, these policies are expensive and may not be right for everyone. You need to consider whether or not you can afford long-term care insurance premiums now and into the future. Depending on the plan, your payment rate can stay locked-in from the time of purchase, or rise significantly. According to some experts, you should skip a plan if your net worth is less than $200,000. Medicaid will pick up the bills after you exhaust your funds.

evaluating physicians who offer house calls a guide for patients and families n By Eric Baron, MD
F
or every individual in a nursing home, there are three more people equally fragile and infirm living at home, according to the American Academy of Home Care Physicians (AAHCP). Physicians and medical groups specializing in house calls have become increasingly available to such patients. The growth in Medicare benefits in this area was the result of four years of volunteer effort led by the AAHCP, which, since 1988, has served the needs of thousands of physicians and related professionals, as well as those agencies interested in improving the care of patients remaining in their homes. If you are unable to visit your own physician, house call physicians who come to your home can provide consultations to your doctor or serve as your private doctor. Because of changes in medical technology, a physician can come to your home with portable medical equipment and provide high-quality medical care. When it comes to finding a potential house call physician, Alan Dappen, MD with doctalker, recommends two methods - research and referrals. “The AAHCP is the largest house call organization in the country, and its website lists physicians in the academy
by state and locality,” he says. “There are also hundreds of organizations that provide services to the elderly and many of them know physicians in the area that can do house calls.” Though there is a greater need for these physicians as more individuals prefer to age in place, Dappen says the options are unfortunately limited in the Fairfax, Va., area. He and the medical team of doctalker have formed a transitional medical business model by emphasizing the doctor/patient relationship and making themselves available by phone 24/7 and performing house calls as requested. “More than 50 percent of the time, I can get you what you need immediately by phone,” says Dappen. “We’re creating a model where the doctor has the best information and can look things up instantly, whether it is a doctor you can consult, a lab you’d want to use, or the side effects of a drug.” Finding the Best Physician A higher quality of medical care results from good physicians who are well-supervised. With the following information, you can evaluate physicians specializing in house calls, so that you will be able to get the best physician possible to visit your home.
To protect yourself and your family, it is vital to learn how to recognize poorly-supervised medical groups. The following questions are important to ask any physician offering to come to your home: • Is the physician who owns your medical group present every day at the local facility? • Do you have a medical director and, if so, is the medical director present every day? • Are you Board-certified? “One of the easiest and most useful measurements of a physician is whether they are Board-certified,” says Dappen. “That way, you know they’re keeping up with their education and taking an exam every several years to remain certified.” If the physician answers "no" to any of these questions, however, you should consider calling your local Area Agency on Aging before letting the physician into your home. How to Recognize High-Quality House Call Medical Groups High-quality medical groups performing house calls display thoughtfulness and conscientious care of geriatric patients. Proper patient care requires a thorough evaluation of the patient and

understand hearing loss how the ear functions and the forms of hearing loss Hearing is one of our most basic senses. It is vital to communication. It helps us to remain in contact with family and friends via the telephone and in-person conversations. Hearing also offers protection from dangerous situations, allowing us to heed a siren or respond to a verbal warning. Individuals with hearing loss often believe that hearing aids cannot help their situation because of misinformation and misconceptions about the devices, leading them to think their situation is hopeless, but this could not be further from the truth! The human ear is comprised of three distinct parts: the outer ear; the middle ear, which contains the eardrum and three tiny bones that conduct sound; and the cochlea or inner ear. Hearing is a highly complex process that involves the middle ear and the cochlea, as well as the auditory nerve and the brain. When
sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and strike the eardrum. The vibrations of the eardrum sends the waves through the cochlea, where thousands of tiny sensory cells generate electrical impulses. These impulses send sound messages up the auditory nerve to the brain, which interprets them as sound. Every case of hearing loss is unique, but all hearing problems can be categorized as either conductive hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss affects the outer or middle ear and is often caused by a buildup of wax or fluid, a punctuated eardrum, or abnormal bone growth. This type of loss can be corrected through medical treatment or by surgical procedure. Sensorineural hearing loss accounts for more than 90 percent of all hearing losses and is characterized by the deterioration of
the delicate sensory cells in the cochlea. The aging process, prolonged exposure to loud noises, infections, head injuries, and certain medications can all cause this type of hearing loss. There is no cure for sensorineural hearing loss, but hearing aids are generally effective in helping individuals to experience improved hearing. The common misconception that “nerve deafness” or sensorineural hearing loss cannot be treated with hearing aids is simply not true given the advanced technology of today’s hearing aids. A hearing aid works as a personal amplification system. When sound enters the hearing aid through a microphone, a tiny amplifier makes the sound louder. The amplified sound travels through the ear canal and causes increased stimulation in the middle ear and the cochlea. This increased stimulation makes sounds clearer and easier to understand.

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 Washington, D.C. Metro area, 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.

technology for seniors new devices designed with older adults in mind From Internet calling services to instant messaging, keeping in touch with family and friends has never been easier. However, for some active adults and seniors using new technologies can be challenging. Most of these devices are developed with a younger audience in mind and can sometimes be confusing or unnecessarily complex. Fortunately, there are senior serving professionals who are working to make these modern conveniences more accessible. Once these devices are made user friendly, seniors quickly find that they love the freedom technology can provide. Technology allows seniors to keep in contact with family at their convenience. They can also receive frequent updates from children, grandchildren, friends and other family members. They
can enjoy new photos in real time, and they can even have face-to-face conversations with their loved ones who live far away via Internet chat. For adult children or other family members of seniors, technology can offer added security. Enhanced communication with their loved one provides reassurance that they are safe and secure. Some devices even allow for family members to unobtrusively monitor their loved one’s activity and receive alerts if there is a change in the normal pattern. Service providers have been offering phones and monitoring devices specially designed for seniors for years. However, the newer computer and tablet devices combine the convenience and security that phones and monitoring systems provide with the added features of a home computer. All of these features
are offered in one user-friendly device. One of the providers on the forefront of this emerging trend is FamilyLink, a company that offers a touch screen tablet device designed for older users. Features include email, video chat, home monitoring capability and photo sharing. All of the features are designed to activate with the touch of a single button, so no computer experience is necessary. As more providers begin to cater to the unique needs of seniors and their loved ones, older adults no longer have to worry about learning new technologies or losing touch with friends and family. Using these technologies can actually help seniors remain in their homes longer, as they no longer have to be concerned about safety or social isolation. Technology is definitely not just for teens anymore.

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 Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition (NVFPC) reports that in 2009, 421 Virginians over the age of 65 died as a result of a fall and more than 16,000 hospitalizations were directly attributed to a fall. • 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.
by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; weight-bearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updatUnderstanding the Risks ed as needed to maintain the best posOn both a national and a local level, Avoiding Falls sible vision. the risk of falls is one of the largest, preOne of the simplest ways that older Finally, one of the most important ventable medical challenges that seniors adults can reduce their risk of falling is Continued on page 72

universal design and the aging eye n
By Moira Quinn Leite and Michael Leite, PE
T
hroughout life, the human eye changes. This requires corresponding changes to the illumination level that is required for good visibility. The first change that takes place in the normal eye is a shift in color vision. As the eye ages, it becomes less sensitive to the blue end of the spectrum. The second change is a reduction of the depth of focus for the eye. This is caused by the hardening of the lens, which gives the eye a fixed focus. The third type of change is caused by eye disease. Common maladies include cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. Universal design is the process of designing all products and occupied spaces to be usable by everyone, regardless of their age or physical ability. While this is a desirable goal, energy use and installation costs can constrain designs. The key to good design is balancing the needs of the specific individual with the constraints of the existing space. As a general rule, more illumination is better for the older eye. However, because it is more sensitive to glare, or “veiling luminance,” the light distribution is critical. When raising light levels, we must also be careful to consider the surrounding or background illumina-
Aging in Place Beautiful Accessibility sm Relocation and Staging Lighting and the Aging Eye
tion; a high illuminance on the task surface coupled with a dark surround is a recipe for eye strain. The color of the light can also affect visibility. Some people find warm lamps with a color temperature of 2,700-3,000ºK to be very comfortable, while others prefer cooler (bluer) lamps with a 6,000-7,500ºK color temperature. The selection of a lamp must be made based on the comfort and visual needs of the client. A third concern is color rendering, or how well colors can be distinguished under a light source. Here again, the spectral composition of the light must be matched to the needs of the individual. The best lamp for color vision may not be the best for reading. As a rule, the general illumination should be optimized for good color vision, and the task lighting should be optimized for visual task performance. To achieve flexibility of design, controls are essential. The most common are switches and dimmers. They may be manual, or they may be controlled remotely from hand-held devices. Controls permit the resident to adjust the illumination for the full range of tasks to be performed in the space. A final consideration is energy use. As we increase the general and task illumination, there is a tendency to con-
30
sume more electricity. The selection of newer, high efficiency light sources offers the opportunity to gain increased light levels without using additional energy. As we examine the visual environment, we also must eliminate hazards. These may include rugs and carpets, which can cause trip hazards when transitions are not properly illuminated. For changes in floor surface, edges of tables and counters, and transitions between spaces, illumination can point out the location of the edge or warn of the impending transition. The creation of a functional, pleasant visual environment does not have to be expensive. Proper lighting techniques can result in the creative utilization of common components with low installation costs. Good lighting should not be noticeable to the resident unless the lighting itself has a decorative purpose; rather, it should bring the space to life and create a pleasant visual experience, warn of potential obstacles or tripping hazards, and promote safety for household tasks.

things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improvement all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options. Resources The CDC is partnering with several other government agencies to promote a national action plan to prevent falls, which includes research, state grant funding, evaluation projects and information projects. Education efforts have included the development of brochures, posters and a pocket guide for physicians. Locally, the NVFPC is leading the effort to prevent falls. NVFPC conducts free fall prevention seminars at venues across Northern Virginia and distributes thousands of pieces of fall prevention literature to the public and medical community every year. The primary focus of the organization is to promote community partnerships to reduce falls among the older adult population. NVFPC has already developed and implemented a

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

HOW TO
find resources for military
D.C. region offers resources to military & federal retirees who have served our country
M
ilitary personnel and federal employees are essential to the function and success of the federal government. As our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is home to a large number of federal employees, military personnel and their families. From retirement communities for military officers and their spouses to associations that represent the needs of federal employees, there are resources available in this area to help those who have served our country. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), there are 25 million veterans currently alive, and three of every four of those veterans completed their service during a period of war or hostility. Their website notes that “approximately 70 million people are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members, or survivors of veterans.” Countless organizations, associations and communities serve the large concentration of these veterans and their family members who live in the D.C. metro area.
From independent living to nursing care, there are communities in the D.C. area available to serve the needs of military retirees. Many of these communities cater specifically to retired officers and their spouses. Communities are often located near military hospitals or medical centers, and transportation is often provided. These communities provide a vital service to retired military personnel, and combine lifestyle amenities with readily available services. In addition to the resources listed on the next page, veterans should be aware of the benefits available through the VA Disability Pension, including a special benefit for Aid and Attendance. The Aid and Attendance benefit is for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular assistance of another person with activities of daily living, including eating, bathing, dressing and toileting. Nursing home patients, assisted living residents and individuals who are blind are also covered under this benefit. War veterans with 90 days of active duty and/or their surviving spouses are eligible for this benefit. Beneficiaries must also meet certain medical and financial requirements. To qualify, appli-
cants must file appropriate paperwork, receive a medical examination by a physician, meet net worth and net income limitations, and submit information detailing out-of-pocket medical expense costs. Those deemed eligible can use the Aid and Attendance benefit to pay for care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living community. Veterans and their spouses will receive set monthly payments. To apply for any of the VA’s wide range of benefits, call 1-800-827-1000 or visit their website at www.va.gov. Other benefits for veterans and their family members include: Education, Home Loan Guaranty, Disability Compensation, Disability Pension, Dependency Indemnity Compensation, Death Pension, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), Medical Care, Burial, and Life Insurance. Both military and government retirees should investigate all of the benefits, services and options that are available to them. The list on page 76 includes contact information for many of these resources.

Active Adult Communities
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
Featured on Page
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

When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

HOW TO
receive care for life
continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs
C
ontinuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are an ideal option for those seeking an independent lifestyle with the knowledge that any future health needs will be met. With this security, individuals have the ability to age in place comfortably without the concern of making another transition. What are CCRCs? These communities offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life, depending on their health needs. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community and
take advantage of the ample amenities. How Do I Pay For a CCRC? In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. There are three basic types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or feefor-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care
contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities. While emergency and short-term nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to longterm nursing care is guaranteed only at daily nursing care rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower under this type of contract because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. It is highly advisable to have an attorney review a CCRC contract before any commitment is made. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services such as meals, housekeeping and special care that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. What to Look For in a CCRC Request an information packet and visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life and keep notes while assessing the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. It is recommended you visit at least three communities to get a good grasp on your priorities.

HOW TO
know what to ask
the top five questions for residency counselors
n
by Brenda Becker
Y
our family has been encouraging you to consider moving to a retirement community; your neighbors recently moved; and now, you’ve received an invitation in the mail from that beautiful community you’ve always wondered about. Making the decision to finally visit a retirement community can often be a big decision in and of itself. Determining which community will be a good fit to live in takes planning, preparation and an open mind. If you’ve ever visited a college campus with a prospective student, you know it’s easy to be impressed by the admission department’s presentations. Glossy brochures, enthusiastic student tour guides, and professionally created videos all highlight what the university has to offer. Serious students study the course offerings, degree programs, faculty experience and post-graduation employment rates. Prospective residents of a retirement community should also draft their own list of criteria. Equally important, is creating a list of questions that will enable the visitor to fully understand the community’s offerings. While most look similar on the surface, there are important differences between senior living options. In this article, we’ll focus on continuing care retirement communities, or CCRCs, because they have the most to offer and also have the most detailed contracts. CCRCs provide all levels of care on the same campus (and by the way, the use of the term ‘campus’ is not the only similarity between colleges and CCRCs). Here you’ll find independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care and usually memory care. When health care is needed, it is convenient and less stressful to move to another location within the same community than to move across town to an unfamiliar facility.
Because health care can be such a large variable in the cost of living at a CCRC, you’ll want to understand exactly what is, and is not, included in the Residence and Care Agreement.
In addition to healthcare, CCRCs offer dining services, fitness facilities, educational programs, housekeeping and maintenance services, and unlimited opportunities to engage in social activities. During a tour of the community you will see and hear about many of these wonderful amenities. Depending on your level of interest in the community, you will want to request time to sit down with the residency counselor to explore all facets of what the community has to offer. Because health care can be such a large variable in the cost of living at a CCRC, you’ll want to understand exactly what is, and is not, included in the Residence and Care Agreement. Among the most important questions you will want to ask are: 1. What health care costs are covered by the Residence and Care agreement and what must be paid out-of-pocket? CCRC Residence and Care agreements are regulated by the state of Maryland; however, the details vary by community. a. How long can I concurrently occupy space in independent living and skilled nursing before paying an extra fee? b. How will my monthly fee change if I need assisted living or skilled nursing care?
2. Is the entrance fee refundable and under what terms? a. How much will be refunded? b. When will it be refunded? 3. What has the monthly fee increase been over the past 5 years? How has the community assisted residents who’ve had difficulty paying higher fees? 4. What was the suggested tax deduction allowance for medical care last year? 5. How is the community managed? a. What is the experience and tenure of the top executives? b. Are residents involved in decision making? There are, of course, many more questions to ask and things to understand before making such a significant decision, but this is at least a start. Ask every community you visit the same questions. Compare all the answers, and then determine which community best fits your needs and interests. Just as important, however, is to let yourself feel which community is the right fit. Considering everything together will increase your satisfaction with the community you ultimately choose. Brenda Becker is the Vice President of Marketing & Communications for Carroll Lutheran Village.

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

Understanding CCRCs in Virginia The State Code of Virginia through the Continuing Care Provider Registration and Disclosure Act (38.2-4900) requires CCRCs to provide the prospective buyer with full disclosure statements of their operations and all terms of agreements made between prospective residents and the provider. The State Corporation Commission enforces CCRC regulations governing financial stability, financial disclosure and resident contracts. In addition, CCRCs must also meet state and federal regulations which govern the levels
of long-term care they provide. Specifically, the Department of Social Services licenses portions of the CCRC in which personal care services are provided under Virginia’s Home for Adults law and the Department of Health licenses the nursing facility section and home health care services. Additionally, CCRCs are required to demonstrate that their services promote their residents’ abilities to maintain the highest functional level. Meeting these criteria allows a CCRC to maintain its licensure and state and
federal funding options. The two departments responsible for the regulations perform surveys throughout the year to make sure a facility is in compliance with applicable requirements. For more information, visit: http://www.vda.virginia.gov Information about CCRCs, including a listing of those which are registered with the State Corporation Commission, may be obtained by contacting its Bureau of Insurance (804371-9733).

communities offer security with no home maintenance
T
he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help.
What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a
community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed. Paying for Independent Living Communities 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 independent living communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. However, it is important to note that there is almost always a waiting list for subsidized units, so start your planning earlier if you need this assistance. To learn more about what is available, 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. Discussing services and amenities in detail with staff can help ensure you find the home that is right for you. 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.

what is senior center plus? Senior Center Plus is a program of structured group activities and enhanced socialization, which is designed to have a positive impact on physically frail or cognitively impaired individuals. The services available at a Senior Center Plus site include recreational activities and socialization in accordance with the care plan developed for each participant. Appropriate meals and snacks are served to participants in a dining area accessible to persons with disabilities. The level of personal support is less intensive than medical adult day care, yet
the eight participant to one staff ratio is greater than the staffing ratio of community senior centers. The daily fee schedule is determined by the Senior Center Plus provider based on the facility’s operating budget. A sliding fee scale is used and a limited number of scholarships are available. Respite fees are paid by family, participants, caregivers, Veterans’ Group Home operators, and assisted living providers. This service is eligible for Medicaid reimbursement via the Maryland Medicaid Waiver.
There are currently 43 Senior Center PLUS sites in Maryland. For more information, contact 1-800-AGE-DIAL.

HOW TO
understand rental options
what is available and how to qualify According to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level qualifies, a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24-hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing or low-income housing that is owned and operated by
a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for
each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privately-owned communities near you. Source: http://www.aahsa.org/article. aspx?id=3780

baby boomers on the move Despite popular belief, a recent analysis of government data by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reveals that the geographic distribution of households headed by someone age 55 or older is fairly even across most of the country, with more than 30 percent of all households in every state meeting this description. The study sheds valuable light on a key statistic for housing demand among active adults, as NAHB’s long-term forecast indicates that the share of 55+ households will grow every year through 2019, when the 55+ category will account for nearly 45 percent of all U.S. households. “As more baby boomers approach retirement and the average age of the U.S. population increases, many businesses– including home builders–are showing increased interest in designing products that appeal to customers 55 and older,” said Paul Emrath, NAHB’s vice president of

Understanding Independent Living in D.C. Independent Living Communities are defined in the IONA Senior Services Resource Guide as “communities that provide housing and services for active and independent seniors. Services typically offered include congregate meals, on-site recreational activities, and security services.” IONA Senior Services is one
of eight “Lead Agency Providers” in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Office on Aging funds comprehensive service-delivery organizations and designates them as “Lead Agencies.” These agencies plan and deliver direct services to the District’s elderly residents and their caregivers. Each ward has one or more Lead Agencies that
provide services to seniors in the ward. Information on Independent Living Communities and other elder service options can be obtained from these agencies. Visit www. dcoa.dc.gov or call (202) 724-5622 to connect with the lead agency serving your neighborhood.
Faces of Friendship “It’s nice here, with so many activities — if you want to do something, you can!” - Earl Blake, resident since 2010
A true musician at heart, Earl Blake has worked on albums with legends such as saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, and toured professionally with singer-songwriter Bobby Hebb. Born in Savannah, Earl was raised in New York and began taking piano lessons when he was 8 years old. He settled in Washington, DC in 1980 where he gave piano lessons and played regularly at the Ritz-Carlton. When he’s not enjoying community activities, Earl continues to play and share his music with others.

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.” 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 stateof-the-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 of-
fer 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. 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. Eligible residents are those who are at Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
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 Services 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. ■

Understanding Independent Living in Virginia Independent Living Communities can be referred to in a variety of ways depending on the location and the services provided at the community. Senior apartments, senior living communities and retirement homes are among the frequently used names for this housing option. The Virginia Department for the Aging (VDA) sometimes refers to these communities as “congre-
gate housing facilities.” They define congregate housing facilities as generally providing private living quarters, meals in a central dining room, shared living spaces, and access to social and recreational facilities. The VDA states, “For people who do not require nursing home care, congregate housing is a very popular and economic alternative to institutional care. It is most suitable
for the more frail members of the elderly population - those who find it difficult to manage home maintenance, shopping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.” Rent subsidies under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 8 Rental Assistance Program may be available to assist with the cost of rent in congregate housing facilities.
www.retirement-living.com offers you the opportunity to search for independent living and other senior living communities geographically.

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

HOW TO
pay for assisted living/personal care
know your options when paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies pro-
vide 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 figAgencies on Aging can provide information ures are averages only and do not account Area on subsidies and other payment assistance for more affordable or subsidized options programs for assisted living/personal care. that are available in most areas.

Alzheimer’s Most Feared Disease New survey results reveal that Americans fear developing Alzheimer’s disease more than any other major lifethreatening disease, including cancer, stroke, heart disease and diabetes.
Additional survey highlights include:
The Marist Institute for Public Opinion survey of more than 1,200 Americans was designed to gain perspective on the most pressing concerns associated with Alzheimer’s, including diagnosis and the difficulties of caring for a loved one with the disease.
• 61 percent of Americans feel unprepared to care for a loved one diagnosed with the disease.
“The survey confirmed what I frequently hear from family caregivers – people feel unprepared to care for a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The need for support and education for these families is critical,” said Jack St. Clair, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Manassas. Home Instead Senior Care® is the world’s leading provider of home care services for seniors.
• Nearly two-thirds of Americans (63 percent) have had a personal experience with someone with Alzheimer’s and/or a serious memory loss problem.
• If diagnosed with the disease, Americans most fear the inability to care for oneself, and burdening others (68 percent); followed by losing memory of life and loved ones (32 percent). • A plurality of Americans – 44 percent – cite the illness as their most feared disease compared to 33 percent who cite cancer. • More than other generations, a majority of Americans over 65 years of age (the silent/greatest generation) – 56 percent – fear an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. • When asked if it would be harder to

In response to the realities and concerns associated with Alzheimer’s, the Home Instead Senior Care office in the Washington, DC area is offering Alzheimer’s CARE: Changing Aging Through Research and EducationSM training sessions to area family caregivers. For a schedule of training programs, please visit www. helpforalzheimersfamilies.com. “The Home Instead Alzheimer’s CARE program will provide free counsel, support and instruction to family caregivers in the Washington, DC area,” added St. Clair. “We hope that by offering these workshops, more caregivers will be equipped with the proper knowledge and tools to face the everyday challenges of the disease.”

that parents should support children through their college years, help with tuition (90%) and step in to provide financial assistance during an emergency – not of the child’s doing. But, they stop short at paying all college tuition costs if they’re particularly high. There is also a consensus against bailing adult children out of debt when the debt is from overspending.” Timmermann continued, “How do individuals determine when to help others and when to allow them to be independent? We found that people must examine their own financial status and make decisions about how to assist their family members based on their ability to do so, the real needs of their parents and children and a look down the road at how each party will be able to deal with change and unexpected pitfalls.” Among the tips listed in the publica-

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.

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

HOW TO
provide hope & happiness
a caregiver’s perspective For caregivers, the human capacity for hope is a tremendous blessing. It may be the hope that your loved one will make new friends when they move into a senior living community or that they will respond well to a new treatment for a troubling illness. Hope is said to “spring eternal,” but its source is a recognition of our limitations. It is, in effect, an admission that there are things that impact our loved one’s wellbeing that even the most conscientious caretaker cannot have control over. But don’t let the magnitude of the challenges your loved one faces cause you to undervalue your own ability to make a difference. What you can do for your loved one is so much more important than what you can’t. Although you can’t reverse the march
of time, you can bring a smile to your loved one’s face or provide a moment of satisfaction and peace. Here are some steps you can take that will always improve the quality of your loved one’s life: Give the gift of companionship.
A simple conversation can be wonderfully rejuvenating. The topic doesn’t have to be particularly meaningful or significant. What counts is that you take the occasion to convey your true regard and your appreciation for your loved one’s experience and point of view. Serve as their link to the greater world. A human being’s sense of cu-
riosity is impressively resilient. When you scan the paper in the morning or listen to the news, mentally tag the items you think will give your loved one pleasure. When
you bring these topics up, you’re implicitly telling them that their interests are important. You’ll also be keeping them involved and giving them a few moments relief from their own concerns. Be a hands-on caregiver. As people grow older, they become physically isolated from other people. The opportunity for a caring human touch becomes rarer and rarer. As a caregiver, you have a great opportunity to restore this loss. There are few gestures more life-affirming than holding your loved one’s hand or giving them a warm, heartfelt hug or shoulder rub. Your capacity for hope and your capacity to act go hand in hand. A good attitude gives you the power to envision a better future, while the actions you take today can enrich the present moment.
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME …
T
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME …

HOW TO
obtain affordable services
states, advocates and communities need to join together n by Robert Jenkens States are increasingly including affordable assisted living services in their Medicaid strategies to provide non-institutional options to eligible individuals and reduce state long-term care expenditures. More than forty states provide funding for residential care or assisted living settings through their Medicaid or other programs. While these programs are often limited in size with substantial waiting lists, they are an ideal option for low-income individuals. Finding high quality assisted living settings that meet the Center for Excellence in Assisted Living’s definition and are willing to accept Medicaid payment levels is difficult. The number of quality providers willing to accept Medicaid has been bolstered by high vacancy rates and the expansion of Medicaid programs. Unfortunately for Medicaid eligible
residents, the private pay market is picking up. As funded residents move out of their units, providers can fill them with higher revenue, private pay customers. The Coming Home Program, a program of NCB Capital Impact supported by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has created policies, programs and demonstrations as models for states and communities. By combining Medicaid services funding with housing subsidy programs carrying mandatory affordability periods ranging from 15 to 30 years, the projects guarantee a stable supply of affordable assisted living. However, this can be difficult for sponsoring organizations under the best of circumstances. Strong partnerships are required for communities and local organizations to succeed. At the policy
level, such partnerships must include the state regulatory, Medicaid and housing agencies. At the development level, the lead state agency must work with organizations interested in developing affordable living to resolve obstacles. Under Coming Home, state assisted living Medicaid programs were implemented and revised, state housing subsidy programs were aligned and more than 30 affordable assisted living projects were created. To address the scarcity of quality affordable assisted living, states, advocates and communities need to join together. Robert Jenkens is the Director of the Coming Home Program–NCB Capital Impact and a Board Member of CEAL.

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

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

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

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.
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
connect, share and inspire
the benefits of networking for seniors
A
s we age, our social circles become smaller and smaller, but conversely our need for socialization increases. We begin to lose our family to their families, friends move on and our aging bodies may begin to restrict our ability to engage in the development of new circles. So where are seniors and baby boomers going in search of socialization? Seniors aren’t sitting still and allowing this dynamic to slow them down. In fact, according to a media management company, comScore, among older people who went online last year, the number visiting social networking sites grew almost as fast as the overall rate of Internet use among that group. Seniors have time and an interest in being connected. Many
7
suffer from chronic illnesses and are in search of data and support groups, while others want to feel like a part of a community. Others just want a means by which to keep their minds active and a place to journal their thoughts. In fact, some research suggests that loneliness can hasten conditions like dementia and that online social connections may help delay this illness by keeping the mind active. Today, there are a number of options on the social networking landscape for seniors and caregivers – but one in particular caught our attention. TreatmentDiaries.com has many distinctive attributes and as a result is growing quickly. The networking site is dedicated to the needs of all types of users including individual patients, caregivers, family members and advocates. It promotes the
importance of keeping a diary of lifechanging experiences and the significance of engaging in behaviors and activities which promote health, mental wellness and the self-management of chronic conditions. “We want people to make authentic, quality, lifelong, and if they wish anonymous connections, and inspire others to face their condition,” said Amy Ohm, executive director and co-founder of the site. TreatmentDiaries.com was inspired by real stories of people struggling with chronic conditions and in desperate need of support. The goal is to connect those facing similar circumstances and facilitate the sharing of valuable information and support at every stage of an illness.

choosing where to live By Suzi Klyber Choosing where to live as you age is not an easy decision. There are so many variables that come into play. As a home care therapist, I often see people in the wrong setting for them. They do not have a clue where they should be living. Often, the family of the senior automatically assumes that they need to be moved to an assisted living. Gaining awareness of how to effectively make the right choice is important. How do you choose? What affects your choices? Below are some questions to guide your selection process: n Do you have the ability to perform all of the activities of daily living? n What are the costs of active adult or assisted living centers versus living in your own home with help? n Is your home accessible? If not, can it
be made accessible with simple changes? n Cost of moving versus making necessary changes that allow you to stay in your own home? n Do you have family close by to help with activities of daily living if necessary? n Are county services available to you at your income level? n Do you have the ability to pay someone to perform the activities of daily living you cannot or choose to no longer perform? n Do you prefer to stay close to your own doctors, church, community and friends? n Are you able to drive or do you need a ride everywhere you go? n Should you move closer to your children? Think about this decision in terms of your adult children’s plans to stay where they are once they retire. n Do you have the money set aside to
pay for assisted living and/or a nursing home? Are you aware of the cost and/or the breakdown of costs? Children of seniors, please remember you are simply a consultant to your parents until they are no longer able to make these decisions themselves. Work with them and, if need be, bring in experts to evaluate the level of help they ultimately need (i.e.: senior care managers, social workers from your county, geriatric psychiatrists, occupational therapists that perform the KELS evaluation, Aging-InPlace Contractors). Forcing them into your way of thinking only destroys your relationship with them. Remember to work together as a team. Ask questions and be open and willing to learn what they desire and need. Suzi Klyber, OTR/L, is a Home Care Therapist for The Medical Team & Consultant for Granting-You-Access.

Caregivers and Stress Being a caregiver for someone with a serious illness or chronic condition isn’t easy. There are a multitude of demands on your time, energy and resources. Between doctors’ appointments, dispensing medication, helping the ill person complete daily tasks, managing the ill person’s household, providing meals, and more, it’s all too easy to feel overburdened, overstressed and overwhelmed. That’s why Walter St. John, Ed.D., says it’s so important for caregivers to develop healthy and habitual coping mechanisms. “Even when the ill person is someone whom you love deeply, such as a spouse or parent, being a caregiver puts you under a tremendous amount of mental, emotional and often physical stress,” points out St. John, author of Solace: How Caregivers and Others Can Relate, Listen, and Respond Effectively to a Chronically Ill Person. Here, St. John shares ten healthy ways for caregivers to effectively cope with stress: Have realistic expectations for yourself. When many people take on caregiving roles, they have unrealistic expectations regarding how much they’ll be able to do, what their relationship with the ill person will be like, what type of attitude they’ll have and so much more. And when reality doesn’t match these ideals, negativity, conflict, stress and disappointment can result. Obtain advice on caregiving from experienced caregivers. As a caregiver, you may feel that you are entering daunting new territory. The good news is you’re not alone. Others have been where you are today, and even if your situations don’t match exactly, they can still share valuable advice and insight on your new role. “There are so many sources of help and guidance to which you can reach out,” points out St. John. “They include, but are certainly not limited to: friends or relatives who have acted as caregivers, the ill person’s medical team (e.g., doctors and nurses), clergy, social workers specializing in caregiving, and nursing home professional staff.” Accept that as a caregiver, you need help. As St. John points out, you will need to set boundaries regarding what caregiving tasks you can and can’t do, what resources you can and can’t provide, how much time and energy you have available, etc. Again, one person cannot do it all, especially in an intensive caregiving situation; in fact, you should try to have at least two other people to help you. Control the caregiving situation, rather than letting it control you. Even though you have volunteered to take care of someone else’s needs, you are not at the mercy of or under the complete control of the ill person. Rather, you have the right and responsibility to make yourself understood; to ensure that your own needs are being met; and to protect yourself from excessive stress, physical and mental strain, and even abuse. Make every effort to still live your own life. When you allow your entire life to revolve around your ill loved one, your mental health, physical health, and relationships can suffer. “Do your best to balance your previous life activities and routines with the newer demands of caregiving,” recommends St. John. Insist on some private time each day. Depending on the extent of your ill loved one’s needs, time to yourself may suddenly become a luxury. Many caregivers find that there are more than enough tasks to keep them busy throughout every waking moment of the day. But for the sake of your own mental, emotional and physical health, it’s crucial that you set aside time to take care of your own needs and desires. Keep mentally and physically fit. The truth is, you’ll be best equipped for the responsibilities and demands of caregiving if you maintain your mental and physical health. Here are some of St. John’s suggestions: Continued on page 150

Eat balanced, nutritious, stress-free meals at about the same time each day.
•
Get adequate sleep on a regular basis.
•
Take several brief rest periods daily.
•
See your doctor promptly when you need to.
•
Schedule periodic medical examinations.
•
Beware of too much self-medication (e.g., taking tranquilizers).
•
Get lots of exercise regularly.
Learn to say no. If you’re around someone who’s ill, demands will be made of you. That’s normal. Especially if you’re a caregiver, you’re agreeing to do things the sick person can’t handle himself. It’s crucial to understand, though, that you can’t say yes to everything. Encourage the ill person to do things for himself. It’s true that your loved one is not currently able to meet all of his or her needs alone. However, in all but the most extreme cases, he or she will still be able to complete some tasks on his or her own. “You’ll be helping both the ill person and yourself,” says St. John. “There’s no need to tax yourself with unnecessary effort. Meanwhile, the ill person will still feel in control of his or her own life.” Know ahead of time what to say or do when your patience becomes exhausted. There’s no doubt about it: caregiving is stressful. Some days you may become frustrated because the ill person is angry and rude; other days, the constant demands of caregiving might weigh heavily enough that you reach the end of your rope. On such occasions, do what is necessary to remain cool and collected, even if you have to pause for a few seconds or leave the room.

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

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

First Impressions Count Advice from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) Upon entering a nursing facility, look around. You can begin to evaluate the service levels provided by using some of the following questions: n
Was I greeted in a friendly manner?
n
Did they see me immediately?
n
What is the ratio of staff to persons receiving services?
n
What credentials do staff members have? What health and safety policies are in place, as related to
n
incidents involving injury, medication management, natural disasters, etc.?
Do the premises appear to be well maintained, clean, and safe?
n n
What is the annual staff turnover?
What is my impression of the service level?
n
How are staff members interacting with persons receiving
n
n
services and coworkers?
What complaint procedures exist? Do policies prevent reprisals?

HOW TO
care for a loved one
the well spouse association offers support n by Terri Corcoran Marriage has enough challenges when both partners are basically healthy. But if one partner becomes ill or disabled with a chronic condition, the dynamics of the marriage completely change. Instead of husband and wife, the relationship becomes “ill spouse” and “well spouse,” with the well spouse taking on not only a caregiving role, but also taking on more and more of the responsibilities of daily life. In extreme (albeit not rare) cases, when the ill spouse is completely disabled mentally and physically, the well spouse becomes responsible for everything in their lives, from managing the illness with all its inherent medical care complexities to managing finances, shopping, home repairs, and parenting if there are children at home. Add to these physical stresses the well spouses’ excruciating grief at watching
their life partner become hopelessly ill and disabled. To say the least, the marriage relationship becomes drastically altered and challenged. In marriages afflicted by certain chronic, degenerative illnesses, well spouses may suffer the painful losses of verbal communication and physical intimacy with their partners. Loss of income is also a major issue if the ill spouse and/or the well spouse cannot continue to work. The relationship of well spouses to the outside world also changes – social isolation may result from no longer working outside the home, and it is common for extended family and friends to drift away rather than lend much-needed support. As a result, the physical, emotional and mental burdens can become unbearable for well spouses, rendering them exhausted, depressed, angry, frustrated, hopeless, and

feeling trapped and abandoned. The good news is that there is help for caregiving spouses at the Well Spouse Association (WSA), a national/international peer-to-peer, non-profit support organization. Whether on the online Forum or in a face-to-face support group, WSA offers a safe haven for spousal caregivers to talk about their situations openly; to express frustration, anger and grief; and to receive compassionate understanding from others who walk the same difficult journey. It is a tremendous relief to be able to talk to people who listen to you and truly “get it.” The WSA website (www.wellspouse. org) offers articles and blogs by members, an online discussion forum, and links to many caregiving resources. For more information, the WSA office can be reached at 800-838-0879.

innovative wheelchair art connects all ages and abilities
inspired by a skateboard artist, a 10-year-old with severe physical limitations introduces a new form of art to residents living in a retirement community Ten-year-old Augie Webster is a bright boy with severe physical limitations as a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. After attending an art exhibit for skateboard artist Sean Greene, Augie used his communication device to tell his mother, Kathy Webster, “We can make wheelchair art.” Augie’s brother and sister enthusiastically supported the idea and Wheelchair Action Art was born. The Websters have partnered with residents at Goodwin House Bailey’s Crossroads, a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Falls Church, Va.

HOW TO
protect your family’s assets
an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs In 2010, more than 7,000 people turned 65 years old or older every single day, a figure that is predicted to rise in 2011. Further, an AARP survey revealed that only 4 in 10 of those people feel they will be financially secure for their golden years. For many, that lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to

becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of assisted living. That’s why Gabriel Heiser, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in nursing home law, believes that people should start planning now, even if they aren’t close to their 65th birthdays. “The average monthly cost of a nursing home today is $6,917 per month, and
Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
a typical Alzheimer’s patient will spend $395,000 for their nursing home care after diagnosis,” said Heiser, author of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (www.MedicaidSecrets.com). “Those costs are only going to rise, so it’s important to plan now. One important benefit to consider is Medicaid, which
housing options
www.retirement-living.com 1-800-394-9990
N u r s i n g & R e h a b i l i tat io n can help offset a good amount of those costs, but only if you know what it takes to qualify for those benefits.” The mistake a lot of people make is thinking that they can’t qualify for Medicaid, according to Heiser. “Many feel that because they own a home or have some assets that they can’t qualify for Medicaid help with their nursing home and doctor’s bills,” he said. “The truth is there are a variety of assets people can own and still qualify. It’s just a matter of knowing the rules, and making a plan to meet those requirements.” Heiser listed the asset limits for those applying for Medicaid. They include: • Cash – You can possess $2,000 cash that will not be counted as an asset in determining your Medicaid eligibility. • Home – There is a $500,000 exclusion toward your home, meaning that if your home is valued at $500,000 or less at the time of your application, it is excluded as an asset. Some states use the higher permitted exemption of $750,000.
• Car – Up until recently, you could exclude only one car at a value of $4,500 or less, however that law has been changed. Now, one automobile of ANY current market value is excluded on your application. • Funeral and Burial Funds – If you have a pre-planned funeral or memorial arrangement, the entire value of that plan is excluded. If you do not, a separate bank account that contains $1,500 toward funeral expenses can be excluded. If you have prepurchased burial plots, you can exclude not only the costs of the plot for the applicant, but for the entire family, and still be eligible for Medicaid. • Property – According to federal law, any real or personal property that is essential to self-support, regardless of value or rate of return, is excluded. That could include farms, rental properties and other real estate investments that generate income necessary for self-support. For rental income, however, the property must generate at least 6 percent of its value annually in order to qualify for the exclusion.
• Life Insurance – Only the cash value of a life insurance policy owned by the applicant is counted, thus, all term policies are ignored. “There are so many other rules that can benefit those who aren’t sure they’ll have enough when the time comes,” Heiser added. “The key is to plan now and act now. These laws exist for your protection, and avoiding the discussion and the planning necessary to take care of the potential complications just because it is an unpleasant topic will only result in a more unpleasant conversation when you realize you’re not ready when the worst happens. That can be a very expensive dilemma. Peace of mind right now, however, won’t cost a dime, and could save you hundreds of thousands of dimes later.” K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning, including trusts, estates, gifts, and related tax issues since graduating from Boston University School of Law in 1983.

HOW TO
solve long-term care issues
an ombudsman can help
T
he word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving longterm care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints against specific long-term care providers. Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a longterm care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the commu-
nity 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.
tigation, then a signed waiver of rights to resident confidentiality is required, so that the Ombudsman can review the records and speak to facility staff. 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. For these reasons, local Ombudsman are an important part of the continuum of care. If you have questions about longterm care providers, a complaint about a specific provider or for more information regarding long-term care issues/needs, please contact your Area Agency on Aging to locate an Ombudsman in your community.
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. Following a thorough investigation, the Ombudsman will work with the resident and the long-term care provider to help resolve concern(s). 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 This article was adapted from telephone, email or at an in-person visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia Long-Term to a long-term care facility.

W
hen Sonia Sarreals majored in languages at City College of New York, little did she know that her special aptitude would lead to a forty-five year career as a computer analyst. Her journey began in Washington Heights, New York, where she attended Hunter College Junior High and High School, both known for their challenging curriculum. After high school, Sonia won a scholarship to City College, where she studied French and Russian. By the early 1960s, however, Sonia was working as a computer programmer for McGraw-Hill. It hadn’t taken long for management to recognize that Sonia’s background in foreign languages could also be used to understand computer language. “I worked with some of the first computer systems,” Sonia commented. “These computers were huge, and we entered the information with punch cards.” Sonia married several years after starting at McGraw-Hill, and the couple moved to East Windsor, NJ. For the next eleven years, she made the commute to New York to continue her computer career with Cincinnati Bell. In 1983, after the tragic death of her husband from Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Sonia decided it was time to move closer to her brother in Maryland. She bought
Sonia Sarreals started receiving her groceries from Top Banana Home Delivered Groceries following an illness. Today, she continues to enjoy the convenience that home delivery provides.
a home in Silver Spring, started her own consulting business and worked for several software companies before retiring from Tech Systems in 2008. Since retiring, Sonia has been an active member of the St. Andrews Lutheran Church, where her warm smile and kind words make her a perfect greeter. She also keeps busy reading, creating counter-cross and cross-stitch needlepoints, solving word puzzles, going to the Olney Theater (where she has season tickets), and watching British comedies and mysteries on Public Television. In 2009, Sonia’s life took an unexpected
turn when she developed Peripheral Arterial Disease in her leg and found she could not do her own shopping. Many friends from church brought her meals, but she knew her immobility required a more long-term solution. Her answer came when a nurse from church gave her a flyer about Top Banana Home Delivered Groceries, a local nonprofit delivering in D.C. and suburban Maryland. Sonia contacted Top Banana, and she was both surprised and delighted by the wide variety of food and other products they offered. She began service with Top Banana and has been a customer ever since. She regularly orders fresh, frozen and prepared foods, as well as regular household products. Although she is able to put the groceries away for herself, she appreciates that Top Banana’s friendly delivery staff is always willing to take extra time to help customers shelve their groceries, open difficult jars and perform other small tasks that make a big difference. Sonia knows that even in bad weather, she will still get her groceries, and this enables her to continue her independent lifestyle. It has been more than a year since Sonia’s leg has healed, but she still gets her groceries from Top Banana. She noted, “I know I could go to the grocery store, but having my groceries delivered makes life so much easier for me.”

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option Special care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they have had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel
Every 69 seconds, someone in the US develops Alzheimer’s disease.
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.

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. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s typical? Sometimes forgetting

Tips for Facing Alzheimer’s Stigma Seventy-five (75) percent of people with dementia and 64 percent of caregivers believe there are negative associations for those diagnosed with dementia in their countries, according to a survey fielded by Alzheimer’s Disease International and published in the World Alzheimer Report 2012: Overcoming the Stigma of Dementia. In response, Alzheimer’s Association® Early-Stage Advisors, men and women from across the U.S. living with the disease, and their caregivers developed tips on how to cope with the stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s based on their personal experiences. “The Report reveals that people with dementia and their care partners often feel disconnected from society, and sometimes even by their own friends and family members,” said Beth Kallmyer, MSW, vice president of constituent services at the Alzheimer’s Association. In the current Report, nearly one in four people with dementia (24 percent) who responded to the survey said they hid or concealed their diagnosis, citing stigma as the main reason. They expressed concerns that their thoughts and opinions would be “discounted and dismissed,” and that they would be “treated more positively” if they did not reveal their diagnosis. Facing Stigma The Alzheimer’s Association developed tips for coping with stigma created by people living with the disease. • Be open and direct. Engage others in discussions about Alzheimer’s disease and the need for prevention, better treatment and an eventual cure. • Communicate the facts. Sharing accurate information is key to dispelling misconceptions about the disease. Whether a pamphlet or link to online content, offer information to help people better understand Alzheimer’s disease. • Seek support and stay connected. It is important to stay
engaged in meaningful relationships and activities. Whether family, friends or a support group, a network is critical. • Don’t be discouraged. Denial of the disease by others is not a reflection of you. If people think that Alzheimer’s disease is normal aging, see it as an education opportunity. • Be a part of the solution. Advocate for yourself and millions of others by speaking out and raising awareness. For more information, Visit www.alz.org or call 800-272-3900.

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

understanding home infusion therapy
W
hen Mr. Phillips was unexpectedly admitted to an area hospital and diagnosed with a serious infection, he was immediately started on antibiotics that were administered directly into the blood stream through a catheter in his arm. As he started feeling better, the hospital case manager spoke to him about finishing his therapy at home and choosing a pharmacy to provide the “infusion” services. The thought of going home with a catheter in his arm was overwhelming and Mr. Phillips wasn’t sure how to choose an infusion company he could trust. Mr. Phillips’ story happens each day in area hospitals. Patients find themselves needing intravenous antibiotics or other infusions that can be safely administered at home and minimize disruptions of the patient’s lifestyle and work activities. While many individu-
als prefer to receive treatment at home, going home on infusion medications can cause anxiety due to a lack of experience. Fortunately, there are devices available for administration of home intravenous medications that are safe and very easy to use. Infusion therapy involves the administration of medication directly into a vein. It is prescribed when a patient’s condition is severe enough that it cannot be treated effectively with oral medications. Infusion of these medications can be short or long term depending on the diagnosis and severity of the infection. There are also other reasons that you might need a home infusion company to provide medication. The most common types of therapy that need a home infusion company are anti- infectives, Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), Enteral Nutrition, Chemotherapy, Pain Management and Catheter care.
The most frequently used infusion therapy is IV antibiotics; prescribed primarily for such diagnoses as cellulitis, sepsis, osteomyelitis, urinary tract infections, pneumonia and sinusitis. Home infusion therapy is appropriate for patients or caregivers that can learn to be independent with the administration of the medication. The patient or caregiver will be taught to safely administer the medication at home and have weekly visits by the infusion nurse. Some people return to work with their physician’s approval, and resume all of their activities. Fortunately Mr. Phillips’ case manager has since arranged for a clinical liaison from Infuscience to speak to him about his therapy before leaving the hospital. The infusion company will coordinate with the hospital and physician to safely provide his medicaContinued on page 189

hospice for veterans One in four dying Americans is a Veteran. These men and women often carry experiences from their military service that present unique challenges at the end of life. Across America, hospice professionals are enhancing their skills to meet these needs through “We Honor Veterans” (WHV), a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), originally developed in partnership with the Departments of Veterans Affairs. “We Honor Veterans” is expanding to reach more Veterans through a new collabo-
ration between Dignity Memorial (a network of funeral homes) and NHPCO. The resources and tools have been enhanced to support the education and training available to funeral home professionals across the country. In collaboration with NHPCO, Dignity Memorial will develop four levels of distinction based on the facilities’ involvement with Veteran education and interaction with Veterans and their family members. These levels will ensure that the very best care is being provided to those who have served our country. “In developing We Honor Veterans, we
have learned so much about what makes the end of life so unique for each veteran. Reaching out to those outside of the hospice community means that we can share all that we have learned about how to meet those needs in a supportive, meaningful and respectful way. We’re so pleased that Dignity Memorial has joined us in that pursuit,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of NHPCO.

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

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

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

ercedes Palmer started taking care of others at an early age, and was a caregiver for her own father for the last decade of his life when he came to live with her family. “My mother is an amazing woman,” said her daughter, Anne Palmer. “She has a genuine caregiver mentality.” The oldest of four children, Mercedes began caring for the well being of her siblings and father as a result of the premature passing of her mother. At the time, Mercedes was only 21. She went on to pursue a career in early childhood education and to raise five children of her own. Despite the demands of raising a large family, Mercedes excelled in her career. She became an integral figure in the Head Start movement in the 1960s and was one of the first Head Start teacher trainers in America. Later in her career, she served as the director of several childcare centers, including one of the first corporatesponsored childcare facilities in America. Several years ago, when her husband’s health began to fail, Mercedes naturally became a caregiver for him. However, as his condition
worsened, the family realized they needed some additional support. They turned to Specialty Care Services, a licensed nursing provider offering a wide range of home care services. Since that time, the company has provided varying levels of care to meet the family’s needs, from part-time care in their home to full-time care in an assisted living facility. “Specialty Care has been in our lives through so much,” said Anne, who explained that the family endured the tragic losses of both her oldest brother and her father within one month of each other between December of 2008 and January 2009. Through it all, one of the constants in Mercedes’ life has been Amie Kanu, her caregiver provided by Specialty Care. “Amie is an extraordinary woman blessed with an extraordinary gift, and she gives so lovingly,” said Anne. “She is with my mother just about every waking moment, and she nurtures my mother.” As a former vice president of an aging service network in the Hudson Valley region of New York, and having the responsibility when growing
up of helping care for her grandfather that lived with them, Anne has both a professional and personal appreciation for the level of service that Specialty Care and Amie provide. A Speciality Care Services “Amie is like having caregiver, Amie Kanu, another sister there accompanies Mercedes Palmer during all her taking care of my outings. mother. She is so intuitive and knows what she needs almost without asking,” said Anne. For Anne and her siblings, it is extremely important that their mother, who has always taken care of everyone else, receive top quality care. With the help of Specialty Care and Amie, the Palmer family has been able to ensure that Mercedes – who recently celebrated her 86th birthday – continues to enjoy the best possible quality of life.

staying well in winter Many seniors are especially susceptible to colds, flus and other viruses during the winter months, particularly those with weakened immunity due to chronic conditions. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to safely navigate through the winter, keeping your immune system strong and reducing the risk of illness. Practice “Respiratory Etiquette.” It is best to avoid coughing into your hands. Cover your cough with a tissue or handkerchief or cough into your elbow or underarm area. Wash your hands frequently or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer to reduce the spread of organisms that can cause illness. When ill, stay away from others, if possible. Get vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that all individuals age 6 months or older receive the annual flu vaccine, unless they have a history of a severe allergic reaction to eggs, prior allergic reaction to the flu vaccine, or prior history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. It’s ideal to get vaccinated early in the flu season, but even as late as January, it’s still a good idea to get vaccinated. Since pneumonia is the leading cause of vaccine-preventable death in the U.S., seniors should also get the pneumonia vaccine. It is typically given at age 60 and

arion van Binsbergen Pritchard was attending the school of social work in Amsterdam, Holland, when the Germans invaded the country. Like so many of her peers, WWII dramatically altered the course of her life. Her transition from college student to rescue worker was gradual, but seemingly inevitable. Early in the occupation, Marion was asked by her supervisor to take home the young son of a Jewish couple before they were deported. However, her life as an insurgent really began when she saw the residents of a Jewish children’s home deported. “That event really increased her resolve, and she decided that this [rescue work] was something she ought to do,” recalled her son, Ivor Pritchard. Marion went on to dedicate much of her time to hiding, sheltering and moving Jewish children who were in danger of

being sent to concentration camps. Ivor explained that Marion actually does not know how many of the children she helped ultimately survived the War. “She
knows that she helped to hide hundreds of children, but with the exception of a few, she doesn’t know how many of them survived,” he said. Marion’s connections with her charges were naturally limited by her sense of duty. “When you’re trying to keep people hidden, you don’t want to know any more than you have to, so you don’t have anything to tell if you get caught,” Ivor noted. After the War, Marion became a social worker for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and helped to organize displaced person camps. It was at an UNRRA camp that she met Tony Pritchard, a former U.S. Army officer who became the camp director. “They had actually met while she was training for the job but parted ways and were reunited when he was brought in to run the camp,” recalled Ivor.

Marion ...
Continued from page 201 “They reestablished their relationship there and were married at the camp.” After several years working in the camps, the Pritchards returned to the United States and went on to have three boys. However, Marion never gave up her work on behalf of Jewish refugees, later taking a position with the Boston Jewish Family and Children’s Service. After Tony passed away, Marion decided to move to the Washington, D.C., area to be closer to one of her children.
Ivor lives in Cleveland Park, and Marion moved to The Georgetown Retirement Residence, an assisted living community that is only three miles away. Marion had been living at The Georgetown for several years when a series of falls resulted in a trip to the emergency room. From the hospital, Marion went to a rehabilitation center to learn to walk with a walker. When she was released back to The Georgetown, they recommended that she receive additional nursing care and suggested Capital City Nurses, a full service home care agency. “Capital City has been helping her since last November, and their services have
been very good,” Ivor said. He explained that the degree of help provided has varied according to his mother’s needs. The caregivers from Capital City have formed a strong bond with Marion. “The caregivers have come to understand how my mother sees things,” Ivor said. “They are very good at encouraging her to be active but also respect her independence, which is so important.” The independent spirit that allowed Marion to risk everything to protect and save children during the War endures to this day. While she may not know all the victims she saved, her legendary efforts will certainly never be forgotten.

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

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

caregiver tips in helping with medicare by Ross Blair, PlanPrescriber.com 1. Manage Timelines Effectively: Medicare eligibility begins for U.S. citizens and legal residents when they turn 65. A person has a seven-month initial enrollment period that begins three months before their birthday month and ends three months after. During this initial enrollment period, a person can enroll in Original Medicare (Parts A&B), a prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D) or a Medicare Advantage plan. If a senior wants to enroll in a medigap (Medicare supplement insurance) policy, the open-enrollment period starts the first month the person is both 65 and enrolled in Part B, and lasts for 6 months.

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 remodeling projects and addressing common 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 maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites and elevators. CAPS are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, bar-
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.
rier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was developed by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders
(NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

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

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

Area Demonstration Projects Showcase Universal Design It is difficult to fully understand and appreciate the function, utility and beauty of Universal Design. Words and pictures cannot replace visiting a home and discovering the benefits of design first hand. However, it can be challenging to schedule visits to a home that is occupied by a resident. Demonstration projects present an opportunity for interested consumers to experience first hand the features and benefits of Universal Design to help implement these concepts in their own space. Innovative Model of Living at Vinson Hall – Mclean, VA
One of the most unique approaches to a demonstration project has been created at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va. Residents of the community worked closely with management and award-winning design expert Moira Leite to create the “apartment of the future.” This model apartment is beautiful and accessible but, through intentional design, assists in prolonging the independence and enhancing the quality of life of the residents. The apartment incorporates features and products that enhance utility, mobility and safety within

the space. It serves as a model apartment for future residents, a prototype for the renovation of existing residents’ apartments and an opportunity for the public to discover improvements they can make to their private residences. Kathy Martin, CEO of Vinson Hall and a retired Navy rear admiral shared, ‘‘This is exciting for us, as well as the community at large. We have an opportunity to enhance living here for our seniors. I believe we have an opportunity to be a model for the community and to partner in outreach.” For more information: www.vinsonhall.org

Home Car e The model house is being remodeled and outfitted with cutting-edge features that are specifically designed to accommodate the special needs of older adults, including walk-in shower stalls, wider doorways for wheelchair access and specialized appliances. It will be renamed the AARP Andrus House to commemorate AARP’s founder, Ethel Percy Andrus, who built the first Universal Design home in D.C. more than 40 years ago. For more information: www.esm. org or contact jmcspadden@esm.org; 202.635.9384, ext. 101 Accessible Housing Services Model Home – Baltimore Area
Eric Anderson, a Universal Design advocate and contractor, purchased a 1000 square-foot ranch home in suburban Baltimore and renovated it with approximately 70 accessible and Universal Design concepts. He has intentionally not sold or rented the house, instead using it
as a model that consumers, advocates and professionals can tour to better understand how design can be implemented in a functional and attractive method. His home also serves as a training center as it has been toured by countless groups, government leaders and individuals. “The most common response that a visitor makes is that they can’t believe it’s an accessible home. Visitors also comment that they can’t believe how much larger the house appears considering its only 1000 square-feet. The home truly blends the concept of providing universal access and utilizing good design.” For more information: www.accessiblehousingservices.com Project Independence-Burke, VA
Eight townhouses with universal design features are under construction in Burke. Project Independence overlooks Lake Barton and is surrounded by Burke Centre Conservancy open space and
two conservation easement areas. Each townhouse will have an elevator, making them convenient for any resident and accessible for persons with disabilities. The homes will also include features like adjustable heights for the kitchen counters and wheel-in bath tubs and showers. The townhouses, located at 5591 Oak Leather Drive in Burke, are under construction by Landmark Communities in cooperation with Lutheran Housing Inova, and the Kellar Institute of George Mason University. Braddock District Supervisor Sharon Bulova has been an impetus behind the project. Project Independence is working to create opportunities for returning veterans injured in the conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan. However, the townhouses offer all consumers beautiful design with features convenient for anyone. For more information: Jacquie.Woodruff@fairfaxcounty.gov

help is available in your neighborhood and across the country Government agencies are an invaluable resource that can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 created the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a national network of agencies that promote and protect the health and well-being of older adults. Amendments to the OAA provided grants to Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), giving them the resources to identify local needs and plan and fund local programs. The Department of Health & Human Services describes this comprehensive network as the National Aging Network. The key components of this network, which

virtual home tour for retirees Remodeling magazine recently announced the launch of Home for Life, a virtual home tour that showcases how to remodel a home to save money and live well throughout the retirement years. The first of the 76 million Baby Boomers turned 65 years old last year. A recent survey conducted by AARP revealed that 84 percent of Boomers would like to stay in their current home during retirement, but only 16 percent have taken any steps to adapt their home for the next couple of decades. The photo-realistic online virtual tour is now open at www.homeforlife2012.com. The home focuses on the needs of a hypothetical couple who have been married almost 40 years and have decided to continue living in their current home after they retired, so they can remain near their friends, family and community services. The tour shows
homeowners and remodelers how to: • Adapt a home for aging in place, • Incorporate universal design into any renovation, • Lower a home’s heating and cooling costs for years through energy-efficient home improvements, products and replacements, and • Save money and hassle over time through choosing low-maintenance materials and products with long lifecycles. “Our goal for the Remodeling Home for Life virtual tour is to shed light on what baby boomers and remodelers will need to consider to adapt homes for the retirement years, including universal design strategies; lowered operating costs; and durable, low-maintenance products and systems,” said Sal Alfano, editorial director of Remodeling. “We have brought together experts in remodeling design, active adult lifestyle, energy and
resource efficiency, and universal design to create Home for Life.” The Remodeling Home for Life tour will show how to transform a classic suburban family house into a convenient, energy-efficient and low-maintenance home for an active Baby Boomer couple, and offers a wealth of ideas to remodel for the next stage of life. The tour features before-and-after photos and changes for the most cost-effective remodeling projects including: • Kitchen, • Bathroom, • Master bedroom, and • Front entrance. Remodeling is partnering with AARP to promote the project. Case/Design Remodeling, Inc. in Bethesda, Md., is a project team member. More information is available at www.homeforlife2012.com.

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

medicare: general enrollment and general information n
By Terri Lewis
Need Medicare Part B? If you’re eligible, now is the time to sign up. The general enrollment period for Medicare Part B runs from January 1 through March 31. Before you make a decision about general enrollment, let us fill you in on some general information. Medicare is a medical insurance program for retired and disabled people. Some people are covered only by one type of Medicare; others opt to pay extra for more coverage. Understanding Medicare can save you money; here are the facts. There are four parts to Medicare: Parts A, B, C and D. Part A helps pay for inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing care, hospice care and other services. Part B helps pay for doctors’ fees, outpatient hospital visits, and other medical services and supplies not covered by Part A. Part C allows you to choose to receive all of your health care services through a provider organization. These plans, known as Medi-
Personal Care At Affordable Rates
care Advantage Plans, may help lower the costs of receiving medical services, or you may get extra benefits for an additional monthly fee. You must have both Parts A and B to enroll in Part C. And Part D is the Medicare Prescription Drug Program. Most people first become eligible for Medicare at age 65, and there is a monthly premium for Medicare Part B. In 2011, the standard premium is $115.40. Some high-income individuals pay more than the standard premium. Your Part B premium also can be higher if you do not enroll during your initial enrollment period, or when you first become eligible. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, you can delay your Medicare Part B enrollment without having to pay higher premiums if you are covered under a group health plan based on your own current employment or the current employment of any family member. If this situation applies to you, you can sign up
for Medicare Part B without paying higher premiums: • Any month you are under a group health plan based on your own current employment or the current employment of any family member; or • Within eight months after your employment or group health plan coverage ends, whichever comes first. If you are disabled and working (or you have coverage from a working family member), the same rules apply. For more information about Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D, visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) website at www.medicare.gov. Or read our publication on Medicare at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10043.html. Terri Lewis is the Philadelphia Regional Communications Director for the Social Security Administration.

the medicare age is still 65 n
By Sandy Johnson
If you’re in your sixties, you probably know that the age to receive full retirement benefits has changed. But it’s important to remember that the age to begin receiving Medicare has not — it is still 65. Even if you have decided to wait until after you are age 65 to apply for retirement benefits, most people should start getting Medicare coverage at age 65. If you would like to begin your Medicare coverage when you first become eligible, we suggest that you apply within three months of reaching age 65. You can do it online in as little as 10 minutes at www.socialsecurity.gov/ medicareonly. At the website, you’ll find more than just the online Medicare application. You’ll also find information about Medicare, and have the opportunity to watch A-1ActionNursingS08

some short videos about applying for Medicare online. One is a family reunion for the cast of The Patty Duke Show. In another, Patty Duke and George Takei go boldly where you should be going — online. Why go online to apply for Medicare? Because it’s fast, easy and secure. You don’t need an appointment and you can avoid waiting in traffic or in line. As long as you have ten minutes to spare, you have time to complete and submit your online Medicare application. People who started receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits before age 65 do not need to apply; they will be automatically enrolled in Medicare. There is no additional charge for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A) since you already paid for it by work-

ing and paying Medicare tax. However, there is a monthly premium for medical insurance (Part B). If you already have other health insurance when you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider whether you want to apply for the medical insurance.

marci’s medicare answers Continued from p. 221 Dear Kat, Yes, you should sign up for Medicare as soon as you become eligible because you are not entitled to a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) when COBRA ends. It’s important that you enroll in Part B immediately because you may be penalized for not doing so when you first became eligible for Medicare. COBRA coverage usually ends on the day you enroll in Medicare. If you don’t sign up for Part B when you become eligible for Medicare, you may have to wait until the General Enrollment Period (January 1-March 31) to enroll. If you sign up for Part B during that time, your coverage will begin July 1 of that year. COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act) is the federal law that gives you the right to continue your health insurance once it ends because of job loss,
divorce, death or other reasons. COBRA is also known as “continuation coverage” and acts as a secondary payer to Medicare. This means that Medicare pays first on any health care services you receive and COBRA pays second. COBRA is not considered current employer insurance. You should enroll into Medicare when you become eligible to ensure that you have primary health insurance and to avoid any gaps in your health care coverage. Keep in mind that even if you sign up for Medicare when you are eligible, your spouse and dependents may keep COBRA coverage for up to 36 months. Contact your employer benefits group administrator to ask about your COBRA benefits and to notify them that you will soon become eligible for Medicare. —Marci
Dear Marci, I didn’t sign up for Medicare Part B on time because I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to pay the monthly Part B premium. I have very limited income and was told that I need to sign up for Medicare in order to have my health care services covered. Are there any programs that can help me? —Rebecca
Dear Rebecca, Yes, you might qualify for a Medicare Savings Program (MSP), which is an assistance program that helps people with limited income pay for the Medicare Part B premium. While the primary purpose of an MSP is to help pay Medicare premiums and Medicare-related costs, another benefit of this program is that by enrolling into an

To qualify for an MSP, you must have Medicare Part A and meet certain income and asset guidelines. MSP eligibility limits vary by state, so you should contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) to find out whether you qualify for an MSP. —Marci
Dear Mitchell, Extra Help is the federal assistance program that helps people with Medicare with limited incomes pay for their prescription drug costs. If you have Extra Help, you may be automatically enrolled into a benchmark Part D plan. Extra Help will pay up to the federal benchmark amount on a Medicare Part D plan premium (the amount that you pay each month to have coverage).

seniors and the holiday blues The holidays should be a joyful time, but it is not unusual for many of us to feel sad, lonely or even anxious. This condition, known as the “holiday blues,” is most common at the end of the year when it can seem that just about everyone is celebrating in some way, while those with the holiday blues feel overwhelmed by the high expectations of the season. Seniors can be especially susceptible to the holiday blues. “The holidays can heighten feelings of grief and loss for seniors adjusting to changes related to the process of aging: life without a loved one or close friends, ill health, or a move from a lifelong family home into a retirement home or senior community. They may feel guilty about having feelings of sadness which may in turn intensify those feelings of sadness,” says Karen A. Briskie, RN, MSN, Director of THE MEDICAL TEAM’s Journey Behavioral Health Program. Experiencing the holiday blues can be a normal response to a stress-filled time but seniors don’t have to suffer unnecessarily. Mental Health America, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Americans lead mentally healthier lives, offers the following tips for coping with holiday stress: • Keep expectations manageable. Try to set realistic goals. Make a list and priori-
A D V A N C E D
tize the important activities. • Don’t put the entire focus on just one day. Remember that it’s a whole season of holiday sentiment, and activities can be spread out to lessen stress and increase enjoyment. • Remember the holiday season does not banish reasons for feeling sad or lonely; there is room for these feelings to be present, even if the person chooses not to express them. • Leave “yesteryear” in the past and look toward the future. Don’t set yourself up in comparing today with the “good ol’ days.” • Do something for someone else. Try volunteering to help others. • Enjoy activities that are free, such as taking a drive to look at holiday decorations. • Be aware that excessive drinking will only increase your feelings of depression. • Try something new. Celebrate the holidays in a new way. • Spend time with supportive and caring people. Reach out and make new friends, or contact someone you haven’t heard from in a while. • Find a family member, friend, clergy member, or a physician or professional counselor you can talk with who can help you through this difficult time. While they may be intense and unsettling, holiday blues are usually short-
lived. “However, it is important for family members, physicians and other caregivers to be alert to signs of something more serious than just seasonal sadness. Many elderly individuals may feel that depression is a natural part of aging and may not seek treatment on their own,” says Karen Briskie, RN, MSN. Depression is a very real and serious disorder that can be treated and managed, but can be life-threatening if left untreated. Signs of depression include: sadness that won’t lift; loss of interest or pleasure; changes in appetite and weight; and thoughts of death or suicide. If you notice that a loved one seems depressed, encourage them to talk to their healthcare provider. If diagnosed with depression, elderly patients have been found to respond more readily when receiving psychiatric care in the comfort of home, surrounded by their family and possessions. There are specialty in-home care programs, such as THE MEDICAL TEAM’s Journey Behavioral Health program, which can assist patients, families and caregivers affected by depression and other behavioral health disorders to journey towards wholeness.

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland
A
ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “HomeBased Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health, such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide these services throughout Maryland. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Maryland Health Care Commission provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations.
or more other services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy or social services. Several kinds of health care staff may provide care based on your needs. Home health agencies participate in the Medicare program and many health insurance programs include a home health benefit. A physician referral is required, so it is a good idea to talk to your doctor if you think you might need this type of care. Usually a medical reason is needed for these services to be reimbursed by Medicare or insurance. Generally, home-based care is appropriate whenever a person prefers to stay at home but needs ongoing care that cannot easily be provided by family and friends.
Nurse Referral Service Agencies
These agencies screen and refer licensed nurses, home health aides, homemakers, live-in caretakers, and companions for individuals needing help in their home. The person seeking Home Health Agencies assistance contracts directly with the Home health agencies provide nurs- individual who will provide the service ing services, home health aides and one and may pay the agency or the provider
for services.
Residential Services Agencies (RSA) RSAs provide supportive home care services, that is, assistance with ADLs and/or housekeeping services. It may provide one or more home care services, such as provision of oxygen or medical equipment, which includes wheelchairs, walkers and hospital beds.

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Virginia
I
n Virginia, home care organizations, certified home health agencies, and licensed and certified hospice programs are reviewed by the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification. There are several types of agencies in Virginia that provide these services. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations.
Home Health Agencies
Home health agencies are public or private agencies, organizations or parts of agencies or organizations that meet the requirements for participation in Medicare under 42 CFR 440.70 (d). This indicates these federallycertified agencies provide skilled nursing services and at least one other therapeutic service, e.g. physical, speech or occupational therapy; medical social services; or home health aide services, and they also meet the capitalization requirements under 42 CFR 489.28. An agency may choose to be exempt from state licensure through certification in one of four ways: • The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Cer-
tification; • Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) Certification; • Medicaid Personal Care Certification; • Medicaid/Medicare Certification. When trying to find a home health agency, ask for their license number. Be specific in asking for the license number issued by the Virginia Department of Health, and not the number for their license to operate a business.
Home Care Organization
The code of Virginia defines a home care organization (HCO) as “a public or private organization, whether operated for profit or not for profit, that provides, at the residence of a patient or individual in the Commonwealth of Virginia, one or more of the following services: 1) home health services, including services provided by or under direct supervision of any health care professional under a medical plan of care in a patient’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to patients who have or are at risk of injury, illness, or a disabling condition and require short-term or long-term interventions; 2) personal care services, including assistance in personal care to include activities of daily living provided in an individual’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to individuals who have or are at risk of illness, injury, or disabling condition; or 3) pharmaceutical services, including services provided in a patient’s residence, which include the dispensing and administration of a drug

or drugs, and parenteral nutritional support, associated patient instruction, and such other services as identified by the Board of Health by regulation.”
Companion Services
In Virginia, companion organizations can provide only chore, companion or homemaker services, in addition to any of the following, without the aforementioned licenses. Companion services can include providing non-routine home maintenance, along with assisting individuals unable to care for themselves with transportation, meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, companionship and household management. Also included is assistance with bathing areas the client cannot reach, fastening client’s clothing, combing hair, brushing dentures, shaving with an electric razor, and providing stabilization to a client while walking. Homemaker services, however, do not include feeding, bed baths, transferring, lifting, putting on braces or other supports, or cutting nails and shaving with a blade. Such services would need to be provided by a licensed HCO or HHA in Virginia.

HOW TO
find daytime supervision
centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers Adult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers as they offer socialization, activities and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious
meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the 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 Continued on page 242

be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff
members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center proce-
dures, 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.
