I
regularly receive calls from readers who are in conflict with another family member regarding elder care decisions. Sometimes the calls are from siblings who cannot agree on the best course of action for a parent. Other calls come from seniors whose children are encouraging them to make a lifestyle change – a change they are not sure they want – or need. Often, the most heart-wrenching calls come from families who are unprepared for the costs of senior care. From “I’m not ready yet” to “We can’t afford that,” I have heard it all in the last three decades. I tell our readers today what I realized after only a few months in this business: there is always an answer. The decision may be challenging, but thanks in large part to the ever-growing local senior services industry, there are always choices. That is where we come in. From our comprehensive provider listings to our feature articles, Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook strives to provide readers with the information they need to make choices. This issue’s cover story focuses on Seabury Resources for Aging (see page 28), which offers personalized, affordable services and housing options to help older adults maintain their independence and dignity. For some local seniors, they are the answer to the question, “How can I afford the care I need?” A true Washington institution,
they are celebrating 90 years of service to local seniors and families. For one of our new feature stories, I interviewed an amazing family who managed to avoid the conflicts we hear about so often (see page 33). The Johnstons are the founders and owners of Suburban Florist, another Washington institution. Not surprisingly, when Hugh Johnston started to experience some health problems, the family worked together – as they always have – to find a viable solution. This issue also includes a feature story on a couple who made senior living decisions early, so they could focus on more important things – like traveling. Their story is detailed in “Free to Travel” on page 39. Our final feature story focuses on a couple who continues to choose each other – and who chose to plan ahead for senior living. See “Worth Repeating” on page 41 to learn more about the Ribyats. None of these families walked this road alone. They all worked closely with a network of trusted providers to create a successful plan for caregiving. Often, when a family is in crisis or doesn’t know where to turn, my first suggestion is that they seek out the help of a Geriatric Care Manager. These seasoned professionals can help assess the situation and provide objective and skilled guidance on the choices that will be best for the elder (see page 57). In this and every issue of SourceBook,
Wishing you it is our goal to provide you with thousands of resources that can help all the best this you and your family make choices that fit your needs and your lifestyle. As I holiday season have learned, there is a senior-serving professional or community that can help you. Now, the choice is yours.

Time to Connect By Christy Brudin

hether you are forging a friendship or building a business, creating strong bonds is hard work. In a world filled with quick solutions and easy fixes, the act of building relationships still requires perseverance. Connecting takes time. Seabury Resources for Aging has been taking the time to connect with older adults in the greater Washington, D.C. area for nearly 90 years. The private, nonprofit organization focuses on providing personalized, affordable services and housing options to help older adults maintain their independence and dignity. Started as the Episcopal Church home in 1924, Seabury has grown to include services to meet the needs of a diverse group of seniors and their families (see timeline below). Seabury now offers independent living, assisted living, retirement homes for formerly homeless seniors, care management, senior services for Ward 5 residents, assistance for aging in place, congregational resources and transportation services. By offering free and affordable services to local seniors, Seabury is providing vital resources that would not otherwise be available. Every year, the organization serves more than 5,000 individuals, connecting them with the services they need to maintain and improve their lifestyles. Learning about these connections first-hand is the best way
to understand what Seabury means to its clients. Connecting with Care “I think of Carla as my best friend,” said Marjorie Snowden of her care manager Carla Rawlings. As a Seabury care manager, Carla coordinates Marjorie’s care, working with doctors and other caregivers to help her navigate any health challenges and manage her medications. She began working with Marjorie while she was still living in her home in Bethesda and continues to provide services to her in the assisted living community where she now lives. “In addition to appreciating all the things she does for me, I just love Carla,” said Marjorie. “We eat together when we have to go to doctor’s appointments, and I always look forward to that. We’ve really built a nice friendship.” Marjorie retired several years ago following a career in advertising and publishing. Her father, a photographer and author, helped launch her career by requesting her editorial and design feedback while she was still in elementary school. The young Marjorie gave advice and gained confidence. Not surprisingly, her career started out in publishing and, after a brief stint in international relations, ended in advertising. After her husband passed away, Marjorie was living alone in her family home and began to experience

Expanding its services to low-income Washington, D.C. residents, Episcopal Senior Ministries welcomed Christian Communities Group Homes (CCGH), a nonprofit with a 20-year history, into its family of services. CCGH operates three Northeast Washington homes for very low-income, often formerly homeless, seniors and coordinates volunteer assistance with housecleaning and yard work through the Age-In-Place program.

Connecting with the Community After her father suddenly passed away, Mary Sharp and her mother moved from Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C. A young woman at the time, Mary enrolled in business school and after completing the program, got a job with the United States Postal Service. She remained with the agency for 30 years and held various secretarial and assistant positions during her tenure. Mary and her elderly mother shared a family home in Chevy Chase, Md., for years. However, after her mother passed away, Mary was finding it hard to make ends meet on her own. “I was volunteering at a local church when I heard about Friendship Terrace,” Mary recalled. Seabury at Friendship Terrace is an affordable independent living community in Northwest Washington near the Tenleytown Metro Station. Mary immediately liked the community and decided that it was time to make the move. That was 26 years ago. “This is just a wonderful neighborhood,” Mary said. “There are lots of professionals, and we have schools nearby. It’s so nice to see the kids walking to and from school with their parents.” In addition to the amenities of the surrounding community, residents also benefit from Friendship Terrace’s robust schedule of activities. “There is an awful lot to do here: dancing, movies, social hours, dinner, sports. We really have everything you can think of wanting, and we have a wonderful staff too,” concluded Mary.
Connecting with Compassion When Dr. Andrew (Andy) Gaskins retired from the U.S. Department of Education, he was the director of 10 regional offices across the country. With a doctorate in Psychology, he spent his career counseling and consulting students, educators and administrators. Now, in retirement, he focuses his immense skills on his friends and neighbors at Seabury at Springvale Terrace. Located in Silver Spring, Md., Springvale Terrace offers affordable independent living and varying levels of assisted living. Andy moved to the community after falling and injuring his back. “I was living in D.C. at the time, but after the fall, I wasn’t very mobile, and I knew I needed help,” he said. After moving to Springvale Terrace, Andy got the help he needed to recover, so he could focus on helping others. “These people are like my family,” said Andy of his fellow residents. “I visit the assisted living residents; they are in their 80s, 90s and 100s. I comfort them, and they appreciate me.” Andy has used his long-time love of photography to connect with his fellow residents. “I take lots of pictures of people here. I love to see their smiles,” he said. In addition to acting as the community’s unofficial photographer, he also works closely with the activity staff to plan new events and make sure the residents who are immobile can attend and participate. In the 14 years he has been living at Springvale Terrace, Andy has certainly touched a lot of lives – and has been moved by many of his peers. “It’s such a great pleasure for me to be there for the other residents and to give back to those who are less able,” he said. “It’s such a good feeling inside.”

As the owners and operators of Suburban Florist in Bethesda, Md., the sisters are carrying on a family legacy that began when their father, Hugh, and their mother, Janet, opened the shop more than 56 years ago. While building a business that has become a community institution, the couple also raised four children. Today, Hugh Johnston is immensely proud of both the business and the family that he built. Now a resident at Kensington Park Senior Living in Kensington, Md., he is able to relax and enjoy his well-earned retirement. Hugh and Janet both came from families with long histories in the area. “We’re practically original settlers of Bethesda,”
Sherry said with a smile. Hugh’s family owned The Sycamore Store, a historic grocery store on MacArthur Boulevard, where he worked as a young man delivering groceries. Janet’s family owned a nearby farm. Hugh regularly brought groceries to the farm, and the two young people developed a romance. After marrying, Hugh and Janet moved to Norfolk, Va., when he joined the military. Once Hugh completed his service, the couple moved back to their beloved hometown and opened Suburban Florist. Both in their early twenties at the time, the young couple launched a business that grew into a legacy. “We were really raised in the business,” Sherry noted. “My sister was in the playpen in the front window, and we were all there all the time as little kids. Now, my kids come in after school every day, so it’s really come full circle.” Despite competition from national chains, as well as InternetContinued on page 36

xcept for a nametag pinned on a lapel, you can’t tell who at Kensington Park Senior Living is family and who is staff. Our ability to blend in is what makes us stand out. Although we enjoy our professional roles, we also treasure our personal bonds with residents. That’s why we uphold our “promise to love and care for your family as we do our own”—every day. That could mean sharing a warm smile to start the morning or listening intently over coffee to stories from days long past. It could mean organizing cultural excursions or celebrating special occasions together. It could also mean watching carefully for changes in routine that signal need for care or providing round-the-clock attention when health challenges arise. At Kensington Park, residents feel as much love from our team as they do from their own families. We are passionate about improving quality of life for seniors in ways that suit them best. We respect and cater to individuality by offering three distinctive lifestyle options: Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care. Whatever their preference or need, residents are free to choose how they wish to live. And they get to do so while surrounded by consummate senior living professionals in a newly renovated community they all call home.

a perfect arrangement ... Continued from page 33
Moving to Kensington Park has given Hugh the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of mentally and physically challenging activities. His daughters have seen his overall health improve as a result of these programs.
based retailers, Suburban Florist has managed to thrive largely based on a simple business philosophy: a deep dedication to customer service and community connections. “When my sister and I took over the shop, it started getting bigger and bigger, and we really had to consider where we wanted to go with this,” Sherry recalled. “We ultimately decided that we loved it the way it was. We decided to keep it as a Mom and Pop shop. Sure, it has grown, but it still has the feel of a Mom and Pop shop.” With a business so deeply rooted in the community, it is no surprise that Hugh was hesitant to move from his long-time home after his wife passed away. “After our mom died, Dad didn’t want to talk about moving. He was adamant that he wanted to stay in the house, but he was very lonely,” Sherry said. Following a visit to his daughter Debbie, who lived in Florida at the time, Hugh finally decided that he did not want to return to his big, empty house. Sherry and Susie began look-

ing for a retirement community immediately. Within a week, they had helped move their father to a nearby independent living community. “He lived in an independent community for a couple of years, but he started to experience a lot of falls and other issues related to his Parkinson’s disease,” Sherry recalled. “After one fall, he laid on the floor all night before he was discovered because he didn’t have his call button. We knew then that we needed more care for him.” While Hugh was in the hospital recovering from his fall, Sherry and Susie once again began looking for communities, but this time they wanted a community that offered assisted living and memory care, as well as independent living. “I think we looked at more than 30 places in Montgomery County, and we finally came to Kensington Park based on the recommendation of a neighbor who is in the senior living industry,” said Sherry. Since moving to Kensington Park, Hugh and his family have enjoyed the benefits of comprehensive care and first-rate amenities. Sherry noted, “It is such a relief for all of us that we can now come and visit Dad and enjoy the time we have with him, instead of always checking up to make sure he is cared for and worrying about him.” For Hugh, the move has given him the ability to participate in a variety of activities. From yoga to memory games to music programs, Kensington Park offers residents stimulating activities to enhance their physical and mental capacities. “Before the move we were seeing a gradual, but steady, decline in my father’s condition. Now we are seeing a huge improvement, and that just makes us so happy,” said Sherry. Many of the programs that have helped Hugh were put in place by Kensington Park’s new management team, led by Director Tanya Walker. “We have really seen the care improve since this new team came in,” noted Sherry. “They have made so many wonderful changes; they make sure that they have activities for the residents from the time they wake up until they go to sleep. They are really engaged with the residents.” Kensington Park’s residents also benefit from the amenities and lifestyle offered in the surrounding city of Kensington. The community regularly hosts activities and events open to the public, encouraging interaction between residents and their intergenerational neighbors. Thanks to these efforts, the community and its residents have become an integral part of the charming town. As the Johnston family knows, making the perfect flower arrangement is not as easy as it looks. From a simple arrangement to a large spread, every flower is picked and placed with careful thought. After moving their father to Kensington Park, the family discovered that the same holds true for senior living: finding the perfect living arrangement takes time, research and maybe even a couple of tries. However, when you find the right place to call home, the result is beautiful.

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.

to trust or not to trust? n
By Susan Piette, Esq.
In discussing estate planning with my clients, I am regularly asked about living trusts or more precisely, “revocable living trusts.” Many people have heard of them but readily admit they really don’t understand the marketing information that they have either received in the mail or heard on the radio or at an event. So, to trust or not to trust – why would someone want a revocable living trust? Before answering that question, let’s discuss what a revocable living trust is? A revocable living trust is a written agreement designating someone to be responsible for managing your property. It’s called a living trust because it’s established while you’re alive. It’s “revocable” because, as long as you’re mentally

property, cannot be titled and therefore cannot be transferred into the living trust, resulting in the need for a will for these assets. Revocable living trusts work for some people in some circumstances, but are not needed or preferable for most people – and almost all people who have a trust should have a will also if they want to direct the inheritance of their assets that cannot be, or by error are not, placed in the living trust.

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

HOW TO
make financial decisions
when the time is now
W
hen it comes to taking care of your loved ones, you will undoubtedly have to make some difficult financial decisions, and you may be faced with some unwelcome surprises. Where Do You Start? OBTAIN POWER OF ATTORNEY — You will need this legal authority to access your loved one’s accounts and financial records. Without Power of Attorney, you will not be able to make any financial decisions and will have to have a courtappointed Conservator named.
PUT TOGETHER A BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW STATEMENT — First,
create a basic balance sheet. In one column, list the value of their assets, such as their home, stocks, mutual funds, CDs and retirement accounts. In another column, put down their liabilities, such as outstanding mortgage or car loan balances. Then, do a cash flow statement. List the monthly income from each of their investments, including reinvested dividends and capital gains, as well as any pension income and Social Security benefits. Finally, figure their monthly expenses, including mortgage or rent payments, utilities, groceries, and medical expenses.
CONSIDER ALL YOUR OPTIONS; CONSULT WITH PROFESSIONALS — To
ensure that you are making financially sound decisions, you should consider several options for saving money and redistributing income that are sometimes overlooked. Things to consider when managing your loved one’s finances: PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT — During this vulnerable time, it is important that you avoid taking too much risk with your loved one’s portfolio. Although diversification is still important, you should focus on low-risk investments. Retirees are often told to gradually shift investments from stocks to bonds and cash as they age. This is good advice. But, as Howard Gleckman, Senior Correspondent for Business Week, points out, that does not mean you should turn over your entire portfolio in the face of a medical crisis. “We advise people to gradually shift to bonds and cash as they age. But sometimes, when they see a need for costly care, they panic and invest everything in bonds,” he said. TAX CONSIDERATIONS — Many individuals neglect to file for available tax deductions for medical expenses. Karen Johnson, a Fairfax, Va., based CPA, explained, “In order to claim a deduction, medical expenses have to exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. A portion of your monthly rent at an as-

sisted living facility is considered a medical expense for deduction purposes. Considering the costs of long-term care, you may quickly reach the 7.5 percent limit.” Using available deductions may help you to offset the taxes incurred from removing funds from your retirement accounts. “When you take money out of a retirement account, it is taxed as ordinary income. However, if you can offset your tax deductions against this taxable withdrawal, it may make financial sense to take money from a retirement account sooner rather than later,” noted Thomas West, a Financial Planner in McLean, Va. INCREASING DISTRIBUTION FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS — Once an
individual is 70 1⁄2, they are required to take a minimum distribution from their retirement accounts. However, the distribution amount can be easily increased to cover the costs of long-term care.

HOW TO
obtain a reverse mortgage
homeowners turn to unique financing option
F
or a large number of homeowners, reverse mortgages have become an increasingly popular financing option as they allow them to remain in their homes and receive much-needed funds. A reverse mortgage is an exact replica of a traditional mortgage — only in reverse. Instead of repaying a lender, homeowners utilize the equity they have built up to receive payments from the lender. Are you Eligible for a Reverse Mortgage? Potential borrowers must be at least 62 years of age and live in their own home. Borrowers must also own their homes outright or have significant equity in their homes. Individuals with remaining balances on a first or second mortgage may be eligible for a reverse mortgage, but those will have to be paid off with the proceeds from the reverse mortgage first. Single-family homes, manufactured homes, condominiums and townhomes are eligible properties. There are no income, credit or employment requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage. The amount a borrower receives is dependent on age, in-
terest rates and the overall value of their home. Older borrowers will generally receive more than younger borrowers, and home values are a major factor in determining the payout amount of the loan. Before obtaining a loan, borrowers are required to meet with a reverse mortgage counselor who can provide information while suggesting other alternatives. For a list of counseling agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, visit www.hud.gov or call (800) 569-4287. Payment Options There are several payment options available to the borrower. A lump sum payment gives borrowers the total amount of the loan in a single payment. Fixed monthly payments allow loan recipients to receive payments for a set time period varying from several months up to life. A line of credit offers flexibility, as it lets borrowers utilize funds from the loan at any time. The proceeds can be used in any way the borrower desires such as funding home modifications, covering rising health care costs, paying property tax bills and taking care of existing debts.
Paying Back the Loan A reverse mortgage is due only when the last remaining borrower moves from the home, dies or sells the home. Loans are repaid through the sale of the home. Therefore, the amount a borrower owes can never exceed the value of their home. Reverse mortgages have no affect on other assets, and any debt associated with the loan cannot pass on to the borrower’s estate. According to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, if a home is sold and “the sales proceeds exceed the amount owed on the reverse mortgage, the excess money goes to…[the] estate.” Growing Popularity Escalating costs of living and the desire to remain at home have led to an unprecedented increase in the amount of reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgages have faced misconceptions in the past, but as seniors are receiving more accurate information, they realize these types of mortgages are an important option to consider. For more information, visit the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association’s (NRMLA) website at www. reversemortgage.org or the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development’s website at www.hud.gov.

HOW TO
get help managing money
stop watching those statements and bills pile up
O
lder adults frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical bills are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers (DMMs) can help manage these concerns by monitoring their client’s accounts and outstanding bills, while also protecting against identity theft. What is Daily Money Management? Daily Money Management is a service that addresses an issue facing many senior citizens: handling paperwork that seems to expand endlessly. Daily Money Managers provide personal financial assistance to seniors, usually in the client’s home, while simultaneously safeguarding the valuable identity they’ve worked a lifetime to establish. What services does a Daily Money Manager offer? They offer an array of services, which
include balancing checkbooks, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. This kind of record keeping provides peace of mind for the client and, in some cases, for their family. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance providers have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health is identity protection. Several firms offer identity theft protection, fraud protection and other security-related services for seniors. “Seniors have a lot to lose, and often don’t have the background or tools to recognize or spot fraudulent activity quickly enough,” said David Poulos, Chief Marketing Officer of Senior Guardian Services based in Baltimore. “We can give seniors peace of mind by paying their routine invoices for them, reviewing bank statements, reviewing marketing offers and other incoming mail, and protecting them from being exploited.” Additionally, DMMs can help with in-
Personal PaPerwork services for elderly Persons since 1985.
come 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 senior living 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
Celebrating
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.

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,
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.

escuers don’t always wear uniforms and use sirens. For Richard Johnson, rescue arrived in the form of geriatric care manager Stephanie Thomopoulos. Stephanie is the founder and president of GeriatriCare Management, Inc., a care management firm serving the entire Washington, D.C. area. During his early 70s, Richard’s life was in crisis. At the time he was living with his ailing father. Richard had faced a lifetime of social, physical and mental challenges, and he was now completely dependent on his dying father. After his father passed away, a family friend stepped in and enlisted the help of Attorney John McLaughlin to manage Richard’s care. When Richard’s mental health problems began to escalate, John was connected with Stephanie and GeriatriCare Management. “She was the only one who seemed to understand Richard and his situation,”

Continued from page 59 Household Estate Services. “Patty came over and talked with Richard and asked him what he wanted to take with him. After that, she came in, tagged everything and took care of the whole move,” said Kent. In addition to arranging for the move, Stephanie also organized a meeting that brought together Richard’s various providers to discuss his care needs. “I’ve never seen anything like it before,” recalled Kent. “She
called these 12 different doctors – therapists, a psychiatrist, a neurologist, everyone – into a single room and had them discuss his case holistically. That was very reassuring.” Recently, Stephanie has helped Kent and John make increasingly difficult medical decisions. After a virus compromised Richard’s ability to communicate and swallow, the group had to decide whether or not to use a feeding tube. Based on Stephanie’s research and recommendation, they opted not to use a feeding tube. Even when some of his doctors were adamant that he needed the feeding tube and would
never recover, Stephanie remained a firm advocate for his quality of life. Richard did recover from the virus. When he was once again able to communicate, he confirmed that he would not have wanted a feeding tube – that they had made the right decision. “Stephanie has given us the information we need to make better decisions, and she has been a great advocate for Richard,” John concluded. “I think all families need somebody like Stephanie if they have a loved one in a nursing home because she really cares about the patients, about them as people.”

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.

HOW TO
L
choose care insurance
when and how to make the purchase 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 require 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. Additionally, long-term care insurance can provide funds for those wishing to age in place safely.
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. Depending on the state, your spouse may be allowed to keep some assets and his or her own income up to a FINANCIAL STABILITY OF THE COMspecified limit, and also to remain in the PANY.

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.

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.

edical supplies and equipment fall into two major categories. Medical supplies generally refers to products that are used to make patients more comfortable and need to be replenished on a regular basis. Durable medical equipment includes items that are long-lasting and are generally one-time purchases. Medical Supplies Medical supply products help individuals cope with and manage the symptoms of illness or old age. Products include specially adapted socks and stockings, skin care products and other helpful items. Daily living aids are also available to help individuals who need assistance dressing or taking medication. Home health monitors and specialized in-home tests let patients track everything from blood pressure to heart rate. Durable Medical Equipment Durable medical equipment includes items that help elderly or disabled individuals maintain mobility and/or
receive necessary care in the comfort of their homes. Durable medical equipment products can be broken into two major categories: mobility products and care assistance products. Mobility products include a wide range of highly advanced equipment to help individuals get around. Scooters are available in a range of styles to meet individualized needs. Many individuals find outdoor mobility challenging and are searching for a personal mobility vehicle that can help them continue to participate in activities. Lift chairs are another popular mobility product that provide assistance with moving from a sitting to a standing position. Stair lifts allow individuals to move from one level of their home to another with ease, eliminating the dangerous task of climbing and descending stairs. A wide array of wheelchairs, walkers, and canes are also available to help those with mobility assistance needs. Care assistance products include hospital-style beds, equipment to help with transferring and specially formulated mattresses. All of these products are es-

pecially important for individuals who wish to remain in the home environment. Paying for Supplies & Equipment Medicare helps pay the costs for durable medical equipment. According to Medicare, to be covered “items must be reusable, such as walkers, wheelchairs, or hospital beds.” Durable medical equipment for home health services is paid for under both Medicare Part B and Part A. Medicare coverage varies, and some equipment must be rented. Coverage by private insurance for durable medical equipment will vary greatly depending on the company and the policy. Coverage for medical supplies by both Medicare and private insurance will depend on the products required and doctors’ recommendations. Finding a Provider Individuals should be comfortable with the professionalism and reliability of the company. Request specific information about costs and product delivery time frames. Consumers should also be aware of any warranties.

medicare may cover the costs of durable medical equipment Definition Medicare Part B covers durable medical equipment (DME) that your doctor prescribes for use in your home. Only your doctor can prescribe medical equipment for you. Covered equipment must be: • Durable (long-lasting) • Used for a medical reason • Not usually useful to someone who isn't sick or injured • Used in your home What’s Covered Some common examples of DME that is covered, include: • Air-fluidized beds • Blood sugar monitors and diabetic testing strips • Canes (however, white canes for the blind aren't covered) • Commode chairs • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine • Crutches • Home oxygen equipment and supplies • Hospital beds • Infusion pumps (and some medicines used in infusion pumps if considered reasonable and necessary)

• Nebulizers (and some medicines used in nebulizers if considered reasonable and necessary) • Patient lifts (to lift patients from bed or wheelchair by hydraulic operation) • Suction pumps • Traction equipment • Walkers • Wheelchairs Please note that this list is not exhaustive and other items may be covered. Payment Options Medicare’s payments for DME varies depending on the type of equipment needed. Medicare requires that some equipment be rented, other equipment may be purchased, and you may choose to rent or buy some equipment. If a DME supplier isn’t enrolled in Medicare, Medicare doesn't limit how much the supplier can charge you. You may have to pay the entire bill (your share and Medicare's share) at the time you get the DME.
tive Bidding Program in some areas of the country. This program changes the amount Medicare pays suppliers for certain DME, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies, and changes who can supply these items. As of July 2013, this program is active in 99 areas of the country, including the Washington metropolitan region. For a complete listing of affected areas, please visit http://www.medicare.gov/what-medicare-covers/part-b/dme-program-bidding-areas.html#collapse-4769. Providers are now required to submit bids to provide certain medical equipment and supplies at prices lower than the current Medicare Rates. Accredited suppliers with winning bids become Medicare-contract suppliers. The Competitive Bidding Program will allow consumers and Medicare to pay lower, more accurate prices for DME. Consumers are required to use approved providers. The items are being brought into the program in phases

prevent falls
accidents can be serious for seniors
A
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Common injuries from falls include hip fractures and head traumas. For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life threatening injuries. Even if a fall does not result in an injury, it will likely leave the senior feeling scared and may lead to a gradual limiting of activities. Fear, combined with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, will only increase the risk of a fall in the future. National and local community and non-profit organizations are working with seniors and their families to help decrease the risk of falls and lessen the impact of falls after they occur. These organizations provide information and services that may help improve the quality of life of seniors.
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

application of universal design concepts n
By Michael Leite, P.E.
U
niversal Design calls for the construction and/or modification of living environments to make them accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities. Applying Universal Design concepts to real-world living spaces often requires careful planning and expert knowledge. Most Universal Design modification projects involve the retrofitting of an existing space with all of its limitations, rather than the construction of a new space in which the designer has an empty palette. To be more affordable, the design must accommodate the specific needs and disabilities of the intended occupant, rather than meeting the needs of the general population. Expert designers can create customized, functional spaces that improve the lifestyles of occupants by following the principles of Universal Design. The first consideration in creating a universally designed space is mobility. This involves the selection of flooring that allows the resident to move with-

out tripping and falling. It also includes the installation of grab bars in strategic locations to enable residents to get up and down and maintain their balance. Lighting is also an important consideration when designing accessible spaces. Individuals with impaired vision often require special task lighting, in addition to quality general illumination. A thorough analysis can determine both the amount of light needed and the best light source. Different individuals need different light sources and varying light levels to achieve optimum vision. Having addressed the issues of mobility and lighting, Universal Design specialists will next review bathroom fixtures and controls. The installation of a comfort height toilet with an integral bidet function can facilitate personal hygiene. The shower and bathtub should have accessible controls. Other fixtures, like the sink, should be positioned to allow residents to move about freely. Universal Design principles can also improve functionality in the kitchen. Appliances should be selected based on

the user’s physical limitations. This includes both the major appliances and the portable appliances. The design should be based on workflow in the kitchen, as well as personal safety considerations. When designing a space that is accessible for all, the final consideration should be the general living area. Using a variety of sensors, remote controls and alarms can ensure the comfort and safety of residents. From heating and cooling controls to universal remotes and emergency response systems, these electronic devices are easy-to-use and can help simplify daily tasks. Applying the principles of Universal Design can make the home environment safer, more accessible and more enjoyable to live in. With the help of a design expert, most individuals can retrofit their existing homes to incorporate features that will enhance their daily life. Michael Leite is a Test and Evaluation Engineer for DigiFlight, Inc. and co-owner of M. Quinn Designs.

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 like an automatic garage door opener) and automatically phones the response center (even if the phone is off the hook). The call
is routed to the response center where the caller is identified through special coding. The monitoring center’s first response is to talk with the user and verify that an emergency exists. This can be done through twoway voice communication or by calling the user back on the phone. Next, monitors will call responders or emergency services to answer the call for help (even if they can’t reach the user by phone). The features offered by many PRS providers are expanding at an astounding rate. Some systems now offer services such as companionship — the user just pushes the transmitter button and can talk with the response center for any reason. Other systems offer a speaker phone feature with their PRS that allows the user to answer the phone from wherever they are in the house, preventing accidents and aiding those with disabilities. Staff at the response centers often receive extensive training in such fields as gerontology and stress management, so they can better serve their clients. As with any other purchase, seniors should seriously consider their specific needs and budget constraints before deciding on any one system. It is a good idea to get written quotes from several companies
before making a final decision. For more information about specific PRS vendors, check with the office of the state Attorney General, local consumer affairs office, or the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has had any complaints filed against them. Your local hospital may also be a good resource to look into; many hospitals offer PRS rentals, which are affordable and reliable.

access benefits for veterans
help is available for service members
I
ndividuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans.
Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in
are provided to higher priority Veterans first. Priority groups range from 1-8, with 1 being the highest priority. Group 1 includes Veterans who are more than 50 percent disabled, while Group 8 is made up of individuals who are not rated as disabled and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, Continued on page 79
the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is based on priority groups. Congress determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that limited funds

they will be assigned a priority group. If an individual is eligible for more than one priority group, the VA will place them in the highest group for which they are eligible. Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for long-term care in some instances. Long-term care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/ or provide support for managing an ongoing illness. Long-term care, as defined by the VA, may be provided in a person’s home, a community site, residential setting, or nursing home. Eligibility for services covered by the VA are determined based on a Veteran’s need for ongoing
treatment, service availability in their area, financial eligibility, priority group status and insurance coverage. Longterm care services may also be covered though Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or private funds. In some instances, Veterans may be able to use the Aid and Attendance Allowance to cover needed long-term care. The Aid and Attendance Allowance is an additional monthly monetary benefit provided by the VA for certain Veterans who receive a pension. To be eligible, Veterans must: • Require the help of another person for everyday personal care needs (such as bathing, dressing, or toileting); or • Be bedridden; or • Live in a nursing home and be physically or mentally incapacitated; or • Have poor eyesight (5/200 corrected visual acuity or less in both eyes). The VA also offers a Housebound Al-
lowance to certain eligible Veterans who are restricted to their residence because of a permanent disability. This additional monthly monetary benefit can be used to help pay for needed care services provided in the Veteran’s home. To apply for either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387).

HOW TO
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. The amenity filled communities are often adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several active adult residences are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. This continuum of care allows active adults to make the most of the present while planning for the future. These communities are residences full of options, and most of the costs are included in the living fees. They are ideal for
retirees, but are not limited to those who have stopped working. Many residents continue to put in hours at work, while others fully explore long-lost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with favorite hobbies and group activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. When researching active adult communities, you can start by requesting an information packet from every option you
are considering. Make sure to read them carefully, and keep them all organized in a folder or file cabinet. Once you’ve narrowed down your options by perusing the brochures, schedule visits to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

and on average, plan to do so by the time they’re 68. Half (51%) of those who are retired say they retired earlier than they had expected. Of those who retired early, fourin-ten say they did so for health reasons. The majority (85%) of respondents consider themselves healthy, and almost all (96%) retirees say they like retirement at least somewhat. Seven-in-ten (70%) like it a lot. Almost two-thirds, or 63 percent of respondents, are already collecting Social Security benefits, and on average began doing so at the age of 63, defying the conventional wisdom that people would choose to wait to receive benefits until a later age to receive a higher payout.

This study is a follow–up to the 2008 MetLife Mature Market Institute study, Boomer Bookends: Insights into the Oldest and Youngest Boomers (released in 2009), which looked at the same segment of Boomers at age 62. The study reports that 59 percent of the first Boomers to turn 65 are at least partially retired – 45 percent are completely retired and 14 percent are retired, but working part-time. Of those still working, 37 percent say they’ll retire in the next year,

HOW TO
receive care for life
C
continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs
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.
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.
140136 Collington GRL DC Ad_Fall13.indd 1
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). A
modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. It is highly advisable to have an attorney review a CCRC contract before making a commitment. Prospective residents should also request information packets and visit properties with a trusted family member before making a final decision. 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 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.

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 (804-371-9733).

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

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) 7245622 to connect with the lead agency serving your neighborhood.
Faces of Friendship
“I love that I can eat in the dining room, walk to a restaurant, or cook in my apartment.” - Jean Rodriguez, resident since 2007
Jean met her husband, a native of Puerto Rico, in Washington, D.C. while he was working at the White House. They would later move to his home country where he worked for the Navy and Jean served as a middle school principal. As his health began to decline, Jean made plans to move back to D.C. She was happy to find Friendship Terrace, which stood out to her because of the peaceful neighborhood location.

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 state-of-the-art facilities and offer a variety of engaging activities such as health promotion and exercise centers. Congregate Housing Services Program The mission of the Congregate Hous-
ing 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 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
Retire
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 “congregate housing fa-
cilities.” 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 mem-
bers 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

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

The Facts on Congregate Housing
n In Maryland, the State Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program.
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 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
handle financial obligations
T
he MetLife Mature Market Institute has released a series of planning tips, Preparing for Family Financial Responsibilities Across the Generations, to help Americans navigate family financial relationships. A follow-up to the organization’s recent study, Multi-Generational Views on Family Financial Obligations, the document, available for download
online, helps people determine how their sense of responsibility or desire to help children or parents translates into action. Can you or should you help your children or grandchildren financially? When do you stop supporting an adult child? Do your parents need financial assistance? “We’ve prepared these tips to help people prioritize their family responsibilities and to learn how to meet them,” said San-
dra Timmermann, Ed.D., director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute. “In our study, we determined that people provide financial assistance to family members out of a combination of love and need. There is agreement 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

Assisted Living 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-
tions are the following: • Begin with an understanding of where you are in your life. Knowing your own assets, income, existing debt and obligations for the future will help you determine if you’re in a position to help others. • Start with taking care of your own needs first. It is helpful to pay down debt and secure your retirement income before endeavoring to provide assistance to family members. • Reassess as you go along. Changes occur; be sure to continue to monitor your own financial picture. • Don’t just give more...give for. If you decide you can give, do so with a stated
goal or objective, especially those who are practical. • Make your legacy a family conversation, not a family secret! Open communication among the generations goes a long way toward avoiding feelings of suspicion, anxiety and resentment. For a full copy of the study, visit www. MatureMarketInstitute.com.

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.
Vibrant Assisted Living. Vibrant Place. Vibrant People. What makes Brightview senior living so comfortable and easy isn’t any one thing. It’s every little thing. The people, the place, the personal touch, the peace of mind. How every resident is empowered to enjoy a well-rounded day, every day. That’s vibrant.

Photograph by Tim Hugus
C
anadian-born Don McPherson recalls skiing for the first time as a boy in Toronto’s High Park. “At that time, there were no lifts, no lessons – just a hill covered in snow,” said McPherson. In his late 50s, McPherson met a man skiing in the Rockies who was 80 years old. He recalled, “I thought, ‘I want to be able to ski when I’m 80,’ so I set that goal for myself.” McPherson has reached that goal, and has no plans to stop skiing anytime soon. In 1973, Dr. McPherson was working at a nuclear research lab in Ontario when he was invited to take a position as a nuclear reactor safety engineer with the Atomic Energy Commission – parent of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. His work with the Commission took him to all of the nuclear laboratories throughout the U.S. and to all the nuclear power countries of the world. In 2012, McPherson moved with his wife, Silvia, to Ashby Ponds retirement community from Falls Church, Va., where he had lived since 1975.
Don McPherson, 80, taking to the slopes in March 2013 at Whitetail Ski Resort.
Ashby Ponds is managed by Erickson Living and situated on a scenic 132-acre campus in Ashburn, Va. McPherson might be considered somewhat of an athletic Renaissance man. As a child, he spent summers swimming in Lake Simcoe and caddying while at his grandfather’s cottage. In high school, McPherson was on the swimming, diving, gymnastics, and football teams. During his college days at the University of Toronto,
McPherson was on the diving team and took pilot training with the Canadian Air Force. Today, McPherson continues to stay healthy by visiting the Ashby Ponds fitness center two or three times per week, bicycling on the W&OD trail that passes nearby, and skiing during the winter months. ”Being outside in nature, especially in the mountains, is fabulous,” said McPherson. “I love seeing the views, and there’s a healthy aspect about it that simply leaves me feeling good.” In early March, McPherson made a trip to Whitetail Ski Resort in Pa., which is 76 miles from Ashby Ponds. There, he met a man who was keeping a blog about his experiences skiing for 60 days around the world for his 60th birthday. After having learned about McPherson’s determination to ski at 80, he named him his “man of the day.” For McPherson, eighty is nothing more than a number. “I’ve always been considered ‘too young’ for the positions that I’ve held,” said McPherson. “I guess now I’m reaping the benefits!”

Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living/Personal Care Facility 1. M ake an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions. 4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. From The Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a national consumer education and advocacy organization.

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.
also take care of residents with moderate care needs, and a level three license allows a provider to care for residents with high-level care needs (as well as residents with low or moderate needs). If a person is mentally sharp, only takes medication for arthritis pain and only needs assistance with dressing and bathing, he or she would be classified as needing a low level of care. A person would need a high level of care if he or she is mentally confused by dementia; has a complicated list of powerful medicines that must be given at different times each day; and requires assistance with bathing, eating, walking, dressing and toileting. Such a person could only be accepted by a provider with a level three license. Most providers are licensed at level three, which means they can accept residents with low, moderate or high care needs. If individuals have a progressive condition and do not want to have to move repeatedly, they should look for a provider with a level three license even if they only need a low level of care now.
Where Joy and Dignity Bloom
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

Assisted Living
Understanding Assisted Living in Virginia According to the Virginia Department of Social Services, Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) are non-medical residential settings that provide or coordinate personal and health care services; 24-hour supervision; and assistance for the care of four or more adults who are aged, infirm or disabled. This care may be provided in one or more locations. Assisted living facilities are not nursing homes. A nursing home is a facility in which the primary function is the provision, on a continuing basis, of nursing services and health-related services for the treatment and inpatient care of two or more non-related individuals. Nursing homes are regulated by the Virginia Department of Health.
Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Waiver The Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Waiver is available to individuals who are 55 years of age or older and who have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, but no diagnosis of a serious mental illness or mental retardation/ intellectual disability. In addition, the individual must be living in (or willing to move to) an assisted living facility instead of a nursing home, and also be receiving (or be eligible to receive) an Auxiliary Grant. If you think that you might qualify for the Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Waiver, contact your local Department
of Social Services or local health department. Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) 801 E. Main Street Richmond, VA 23219-2901 1-800-552-3431 (toll-free) or 804-7267000 www.dss.virginia.gov Virginia Department of Health 109 Governor Street Richmond, VA 23219 (804) 864-7001 www.vdh.virginia.gov

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
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 social 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
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 life-changing 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.

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 who 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. Continued on page 142

caregivers and stress...
Continued from page 141 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: •
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.

getting home sooner with rehabilitation high-quality rehabilitative services make a difference
I
t’s a well-documented fact that patients who have the opportunity to participate in rehabilitation after an injury or illness show improved functional outcomes over those who do not. Rehabilitation, in the appropriate setting, provides the maximum potential for recovery. The higher level of care provided in an acute rehabilitation hospital allows for improved outcomes and leads to discharge in a shorter amount of time. Rehabilitation Hospitals offer a full continuum of rehabilitative programs and services for individuals who have suffered a major accident or illness, including trauma, stroke, head injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, arthritis, chronic pain, and neuromuscular and pulmonary diseases. A team of highly skilled physicians, therapists, Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses (CRRN®) and support staff provides a more intense regimen, greater therapy time, and increased availability of pharmacy and laboratory services compared to other levels of rehabilitative care. Each Rehabilitation Hospital is led by a medical director who supervises the hospital’s multi-disciplinary team to provide a coordinated program of care including goal setting, treatment plans, family education and discharge planning. Careful physician supervision ensures that all patients’ rehabilitation
programs are compatible with and appropriate for their medical condition. “We are team oriented and hands on in our approach to rehabilitation,” said Shaik Samdani, M.D., Medical Director at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Northern Virginia. “At our hospital, an independent private practice physician sees a patient frequently and rarely less than four or five times a week. Physicians also lead weekly meetings to discuss each patient’s progress toward meeting rehabilitation goals.” Patients at Rehabilitation Hospitals benefit from fully equipped therapy gyms housing the latest in rehabilitative technology. These innovative technologies help patients walk again, regain use of their arms or hands, swallow more efficiently, improve communication, and regain concentration and balance. Specifically, the AutoAmbulator®, created by and exclusive to HealthSouth, improves a patient’s ability to ambulate. This sophisticated treadmill device uses the therapeutic concept of body weightsupported ambulation and robotics to help patients with gait disorders. Demonstrating Results For each patient admitted, Rehabilitation Hospitals use Functional Independence Measure, or FIM®, instruments to measure a patient’s functional ability in 18 separate areas. A collective

The higher level of care provided in an acute rehabilitation hospital allows for improved outcomes.
FIM® score is obtained upon hospital admission and discharge. In addition to tracking and reporting the two scores for each patient, the scores are rated against each other, measuring the success of the hospital’s services to improve functional abilities such as mobility, activities of daily living, bladder and bowel control, and cognition. “Our goal is for our patients to become as independent as possible,” said HealthSouth’s Director of Therapy Jason Waibel. “We use specific measurement tools to make sure we are properly assessing and targeting goals to help patients reach their fullest potential.”
HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Northern Virginia provides inpatient rehabilitation for residents of the D.C. Metro area and surrounding counties. Located 10 minutes west of Route 28, the 40-bed rehabilitation hospital delivers high-quality, cost-effective healthcare services with private rooms and a caring staff for patients recovering from: • Amputation • Brain injury • Hip fracture
• Neurological disorders • Spinal cord injury
• Stroke • Other programs also available
When it comes to your recovery, HealthSouth makes all the difference. So, if you or someone you know requires rehabilitation following an injury or illness, ask for HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Northern Virginia. You deserve A Higher Level of 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:
150
â–
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 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.

need to know the steps one could take to get power of attorney over someone who is not mentally stable to take care of their affairs. What are the legal actions that have to be taken?? —Katie
Dear Katie, When you are dealing with someone with a mental disorder who is not cognitively stable, several steps need to be addressed before any legal actions are taken. First, the person has to be professionally diagnosed with a mental disorder or dementia, depending on the specific case. Usually the elderly person’s primary physician, who has often known the person over a long period
of time, will be the first to examine them. The doctor may then recommend additional testing as well as a second opinion from a psychiatrist or another professional deemed necessary. The next step is to deal with the diagnosis via any appropriate medication(s). Part of this process is to make sure that the elder is not experiencing any adverse side effects, which may be exacerbating the confusion or mental instability, from a particular medication or a combination of medications. Once it is thoroughly established that the elderly person has been properly diagnosed, and that all measures available to stabilize the individual have been exhausted, then other steps can be taken to help keep this senior safe and out of harm’s way. Once it is established that the senior is no longer capable of caring for

himself or herself, legal action can be taken for an appropriate individual to be given legal authority to make decisions on behalf of the individual, aka Power of Attorney. An elder care lawyer, an attorney who has been specially trained in elder issues, is usually best for this situation. There is a National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (http://www. naela.org), if you need help finding one. They usually charge by the hour and those fees can add up quickly, so make sure that you have an idea of what you want to accomplish before you make an appointment. The more prepared you are, the smoother the process will be. Do some research in advance, and

have any questions or notes written out. It will also be worthwhile to find out if there is a flat rate for any particular services. Also consider that regulations may vary from state to state. Keep in mind that there may be many emotional issues around this subject, so you may want to have support for yourself, as well as for your senior, throughout this process.

needs some extra assistance, we are sometimes hesitant to step in. How do we listen to our conscience without intruding on another’s privacy? On the other hand, what if something negative happens to that individual, and we have not alerted anyone? I always start with the individual in question. The senior you mention may not want her family to get involved, or may not want her privacy intruded upon. My experience is that if you approach the subject gently, y elderly neighbor’s family conveying your concern, the elder may is ignoring her immediate open up to share her situation from her and long-term care needs. perspective. She might have solutions, but no way to carry them out. The elder —John may want someone specific to be called in to help but she may not know how to start the conversation to ask for help. Dear John, When we become aware that a Whatever the situation, some attention friend, family member or neighbor needs to be brought to the forefront.
M
Once you have investigated the problem with the elder in question, follow her suggestions and her lead, and help her to help herself. I always try to preserve the independence and dignity of our seniors. If the elder is not competent to understand that she needs help, then the family or the person in charge needs to be notified. If all else fails, the department of aging in your community or, in extreme cases, the police may be of assistance. If they can’t help directly, they can point you to the proper services in your community. Keep a journal of the names and contact information of any people you speak to, so you’ll have a record to refer back to. As we age, and as our families spread out, we all need to show concern for each other and lend a helping hand when needed. Thank you for being a concerned citizen and neighbor. Continued on page 156

Now he is angry, and he and his wife wanted to come talk with me and I declined due to the fact that it would be two against one. It is not about us; it is about our parents.

■
Dear Adele, Having your brother so close, yet for whatever his reasons, not having him be available, can be hard to understand. Sometimes a different approach can help. If he and his wife cannot make the time to help out, then maybe he can part with some money so that you can hire someone to do the extra things that are needed for your parents. If you get no response to that avenue, then a third party, whom you all respect, may be able to mediate a more fair arrangement. Something has to change in the equation or else you will burn out, or your parents will not get the attention that

they need, or you will become so full of negativity toward your brother and his wife that your relationship will be damaged beyond repair. I have found that not all people in a family have the same level of dedication and devotion or have the ability to use their time and resources most efficiently. As a caregiver, you must take care of yourself as well as your parents.

along very well with my two siblings. This is no longer the case. The reasons are many and for the most part irrelevant. My focus is on the health & welfare of my mom. The two of us get along well together. To be honest, better than I ever imagined. My siblings are pursuing the appointment of a guardian, trying to convince the courts that my mom is in danger! I am not sure what to do next! Should I resist this effort?
—Jeffrey
Dear Jeffrey, I am grateful that you and your mom have had time to get to know each other again and that you are able to be
of assistance to her. According to your email, circumstances have changed and your siblings are now taking a more active role in your mother’s care. Since your mother may be going through some substantial changes right now and your siblings think it is time for guardianship, getting an outside opinion may be helpful to get to the heart of it—as well as to figure out the next logical step in her care. If you and your siblings are taking a legal route, please get in touch with an Elder Care Lawyer. They are specially trained to understand the issues of an aging population and they are up-to-date on legal issues regarding change of status, competency and guardianship.

HOW TO
protect your family’s assets
an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs For many seniors, a lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of nursing care or 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 nurs-
ing home today is $6,917 per month, and 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 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

N u r s i n g & R e h a b i l i tat io n 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. K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning since graduating from Boston University School of Law in 1983.

HOW TO
solve long-term care issues
an ombudsman can help The word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints against specific longterm care providers.Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a long-term care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the community at large about long-term care issues while simultaneously helping to train the staff of long-term care providers. An Ombudsman can inform consumers of their rights and long-term care providers of their responsibilities. What Can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can as-
sist through counseling, formal complaint investigation and negotiation. The counseling received from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help individuals become an advocate for themselves or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to complaints and then offer information and referrals via the telephone, email or at an in-person visit to a long-term care facility. If the concern requires a formal investigation, the Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care
recipient during this investigation. He/ she will gather facts and relevant information to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem. This article was adapted from www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program in detail.
Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services.

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 68 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; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.

HOW TO

find hospice care
A
improving the quality of life remaining
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.

Hospice 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 com-
pany will coordinate with the hospital and physician to safely provide his medications at home. They will also briefly show the patient how to administer the medication, answering any questions. After verifying his insurance benefits, discussing coverage, and coordinating the delivery of medication to the home, an experienced infusion nurse will meet him at home and teach him medication administration and catheter care. The nurse will stay with Mr. Phillips until he is comfortable and independent with his infusions. When choosing a home infusion company, patients can ask an infectious disease physician or specialist for recommendations. They should inquire about a company’s reputation for customer service, clinical excellence and professionalism, while asking if they can provide a clinical liaison to visit and answer all questions. It is also important the company provide the following services: • Verification of insurance coverage and communication of out-of-pocket expenses. • Filing of all insurance claims for infu-
sion services. • Same day delivery of medications and supplies to my home via private courier. • Pharmacist and nurse availability 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. • Coordination of nursing and all home health needs, with provision of further instruction and care during treatment. • Regular communication with the physician ensuring appropriate care and consultation with regards to lab monitoring and clinical outcomes. • Meeting quality standards and accreditation requirements of a nationally-recognized organization. • Compounding medications in a state of the art, USP 797 compliant pharmacy. • The easiest method of delivery available for the infusion without additional charges.

hospice for veterans One in four dying Americans is a Veteran. These men and women often carry experiences from their military service that present unique challenges at the end of life. Across America, hospice professionals are enhancing their skills to meet these needs through “We Honor Veterans” (WHV), a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), originally developed in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs. “We Honor Veterans” is expanding to reach more Veterans through a new 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. To learn more about the We Honor Veterans program, please visit: www.WeHonorVeterans.org.

understanding palliative care Palliative care (pronounced PAHLEE-UH-TIVE) helps a person remain comfortable by addressing issues causing physical pain, emotional pain or suffering. Hospice programs have provided palliative care for the last thirty years. Currently, these programs serve more than 1.2 million patients and their families each year. Now, this very same approach to care is being used by other healthcare providers, including teams in hospitals, nursing
facilities and home health agencies. To palliate means to make comfortable by treating a person’s symptoms from an illness. The goals of palliative care are to improve the quality of a seriously ill person’s life, and to support that person and their family during and after treatment. Hospice focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting patients with a life expectancy of months, not years. However, palliative care may be given at any
time during a person’s illness, from diagnosis on. Most hospices have a set of defined services, team members, and rules and regulations. Some hospices provide palliative care as a separate program or service. Information adapted from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Web site.

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
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.

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

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

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

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

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, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was developed by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

coping with low vision n
by Kinshasa A. Coghill, M.S.
For most of her 76 years, Carolyn was a regular visitor at Philadelphia’s many museums. She also loved gardening and especially enjoyed Saturday afternoon strolls along the tree lined streets of her quiet neighborhood with its flower covered lawns and wind chimes. But in the past several years, her walks have only left her frustrated and worried. On several occasions, she has tripped and fell on the sidewalks made uneven by tree roots. She used to think the uneven pavement was quaint. But she now worries that her eye-sight is failing and may force her to give up some of her favorite activities. The National Eye Institute, in conjunction with Prevent Blindness America, analyzed the 2010 U.S. Census data and determined that 2.04 percent of the population or 142 million individuals have visual problems that affect every aspect of their lives. Chances are that if you are affected by
cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration or the complications of diabetes, you will at some point experience difficulty seeing. Doctors call this condition “low vision,” which can be defined as ever-present visual impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, medical or surgical treatment. Some individuals with low vision experience difficulty reading because the print appears to be too small or broken. Others may have problems seeing the face of their watch, cooking or writing their name on the line. If you are experiencing any of these problems, consult your ophthalmologist or optometrist and make sure you get annual eye exams. While your eye care specialist will prescribe an appropriate treatment regimen, here are a few tips to help the visually impaired maintain their independence.
1. If you enjoy reading, make sure you have proper lighting. 2. While reading, take a break and rest your eyes to prevent fatigue. 3. Talk to your doctor about prescribed reading glasses. 4. Consult a low vision therapist who can help with strategies for everyday chores such as cooking, cleaning, writing and scheduling appointments. 5. Seek out vision rehabilitation therapy, which demonstrates equipment, strategies and techniques that can help individuals complete activities of daily living with increased efficiency, independence and selfconfidence. Kinshasa A. Coghill, M.S. is a Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist and a Certified Low Vision Therapist with more than 10 years of experience working with seniors with low vision.

alzheimer’s: the facts and figures alzheimer’s association report sheds new light on scope of disease According to the 2013 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia in the United States. The new report shows that while deaths from other major diseases, such as heart disease, HIV/AIDS and stroke, continue to experience significant declines, Alzheimer’s deaths continue to rise – increasing 68 percent from 2000-2010. “Unfortunately, today there are no Alzheimer’s survivors. If you have Alzheimer’s disease, you either die from it or die with it,” said Harry Johns, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association. “Now we know that one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Urgent, meaningful action is necessary, particularly as more and more people age into greater risk for developing a disease that today has no cure and no
way to slow or stop its progression.” Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and is the only leading cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. Based on 2010 data, Alzheimer’s was reported as the underlying cause of death for 83,494 individuals – individuals who died from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures reveals that in 2013 an estimated 450,000 people in the United States will die with Alzheimer’s. The true number of deaths caused by Alzheimer’s is likely to be somewhere between the officially reported number of those dying from and those dying with Alzheimer’s.
living with Alzheimer’s disease. Without the development of medical breakthroughs that prevent, slow or stop the disease, by 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease could reach 13.8 million. Previous estimates suggest that number could be high as 16 million. Alzheimer’s and dementia place an enormous burden on individuals and families. In 2012, there were more than 15 million caregivers who provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion. Individuals with dementia often require increasing levels of supervision and personal care as the disease progresses. As symptoms exacerbate as the disease progresses, the high levels of care required by family Human and Financial Toll of members and friends can often result in Alzheimer’s increased emotional stress and health More than 5 million Americans are challenges for caregivers.

Home Car e physical and emotional toll of caregiving, Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers had $9.1 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2012. The burden on the nation’s health care system and government programs is also enormous. According to Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures, the total payments for health and long-term care services for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias will total $203 billion in 2013, the lion’s share of which will be borne by Medicare and Medicaid with combined costs of $142 billion. Despite these staggering figures today, by 2050 total costs will increase 500 percent to $1.2 trillion. “Alzheimer’s disease steals everything — steadily, relentlessly, inevitably. With baby boomers reaching the age of elevated risk, we do not have time to do what we have always done,” said Robert Egge, vice president of public policy for the Alzheimer’s Association. “The National Institutes of Health needs to reset
its priorities and focus its resources on the crisis at our doorstep, and Congress must fully fund implementation of the National Alzheimer’s Plan to solve the crisis.” Special Focus on the LongDistance Caregiving Experience The Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures also explores the challenges faced by long-distance caregivers for people living with Alzheimer’s. The report finds that nearly 15 percent of caregivers for people with Alzheimer’s or another dementia are “long-distance caregivers” — caring for people with Alzheimer’s disease who live at least 1 hour away. These long-distance caregivers had annual out-of-pocket expenses nearly twice as high as local caregivers – $9,654 compared to $5,055.

sustaining hope in the face of cancer n
By Deborah J. Cornwall
Hope is a curious thing. It’s about looking forward to something positive and refusing to give up. It’s about persisting in the face of adversity, even when the odds and the facts seem to be working against you. It’s about creating positive energy that can nourish both body and soul. Interviews with 86 personal caregivers from 19 states who cared for 107 patients ranging in age from 2 to 92 with over 40 different cancers, as well as interactions with dozens of local families affected by cancer revealed that sustaining hope in the face of cancer is both critical and problematic. All of these caregivers agreed that you aren’t your cancer, and that looking beyond the cancer to envision a “new normal” was key to their hope. Their six guiding lights were to:

■
1. Set realistic goals. Is the feasible objective to become cancer-free, prolong life despite cancer, or help relieve patient pain and anxiety as death approaches? The more realistic the goals, the more likely they are to inspire hope, even if the patient is terminal. 2. Live life while you have it, and create joy every day. No matter how sick, the person you’re caring for will always appreciate a surprise. Maybe it’s a bouquet of the first daffodils of spring, the opportunity to snuggle with a favorite pet, or even a single chocolate-covered strawberry. Creating pleasure for the person with cancer creates positive and hopeful memories for both of you.

3. Preserve perspective. Rob’s wife admits she was having a meltdown about his chordoma diagnosis when she “read about a guy who was killed when his all-terrain vehicle flipped over. I looked at Rob and I realized he’s here right now, and he has a chance, and he feels good, so I can’t dwell on poor me when people can lose a loved one in a flash.” For Carl’s wife, it was about focusing less on what they had lost (independence, control, and their normal life) when Carl lost a leg to bone cancer, but more on what they had left. “He couldn’t control losing his leg, but he could control what he does with the rest of him. We just applied our own optimism; instinctively we wanted to get on with it and not get stuck.” For both, regaining perspective took deliberate choice.

Home Car e 4. Cultivate humor. Many caregivers found that humor was an important stress reliever, even toward the end of a patient’s life. When he knew he was dying, David told his sister he’d given up buying green bananas. It was black humor, but it lightened the mood. Less morbid humor can be generated by playing games to create captions for cartoons, or watching a funny movie together. 5. Manage information to your advantage. • Know what you’re dealing with. For many patients, information was a source for hope. It might have been clarity about the diagnosis, or treatment options, or a physician’s depth of expertise treating a particular type of cancer. A physician’s candor about the potential consequences of each option and the range of outcomes he’s achieved stimulated hope, even in the most serious of situations.

that was true in 100% of the cases. Whatever the low percentage is who live longer, we decided that we’d be in it. Now we’re at four years, so it’s working.” 6. Forestall later regrets. Almost every caregiver described trying to do everything possible to ensure they’d have no regrets, no matter how the course of treatment ended. That meant not only going through the normal routines of treatment, but also pressing for management of side effects like pain and nausea to increase patient comfort and expressing love for the patient every day. Hope isn’t restricted to survival situations. Mike and his wife lost his battle with pancreatic cancer over 13 years ago. Her dedication to his care and her passion for seeking out clinical trials and breakthroughs in treatment gave him hope and

options that kept him alive for 27 months in the face of a diagnosis that offered a sixweek death sentence. She describes their experience as a victory, in spite of his death, and she’s been a passionate advocate for cancer research funding ever since. Decisions about when a patient will die, and where, are part of creating hope for loved ones. As Tim’s wife said, “We had to be ready because we had to go on. There
was a point where it’s all about the people who live. It’s not about the person who dies. It’s about what will make it OK for the ones who live.” Orchestrating the readiness of children for such an outcome is part of this planning. The Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky said “to live without hope is to cease to live.” Hope feeds the courage to keep going during challenging and uncertain treatments. It’s what allows family cancer caregivers to carry on every day. It’s what allows people like Mimi to undertake unthinkable treatments, and it’s what allows exhausted caregivers to heal in the aftermath. Deborah J. Cornwall is an experienced advocate on behalf of cancer patients and their families. She is the author of Things I Wish I’d Known: Cancer Caregivers Speak Out, a new book based on interviews with 86 cancer caregivers and dozens of patients and survivors.

A person has a seven-month initial enrollment period that begins three months before their birthday month and ends three months after.

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

late-onset depression & chronic medical conditions
A
dults with no previous history of depression can develop it late in life due to changes and losses they experience. Late-onset depression often occurs simultaneously with a chronic medical condition, happening for the first time at age 65 or older. Late-onset depression can develop due to physical limitations, decreased independence and the interruption of social networks that accompany a chronic medical condition or the onset of a new medical condition. For example, coronary artery disease is a risk factor for depression; while having depression can put you at risk for developing coronary artery disease. Depression is not a normal part of aging, but it is often not viewed as an actual medical issue. When seniors experience depression and a chronic medical condition together, the depression can aggravate the condition and interfere with successful treatment. The coexistence of major depression with chronic conditions is associated with more physician visits, emergency department visits, days spent in bed because of illness and functional disability. “Caregivers of seniors who have never previously experienced depression, and especially those who have been diagnosed with a new chronic medical condition, should be alert to the warning signs of depression,” says
When seniors experience depression and a chronic medical condition together, the depression can aggravate the condition and interfere with successful treatment.
Mary Ellen Knecht, RN, Director of Community Relations with The Medical Team. Medical conditions which cause depression can include coronary artery disease, chronic lung disease, cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, macular degeneration, sleep disorders, and stroke and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. As many as one-third of individuals with a serious medical condition may experience symptoms of depression. For ex-
ample, major depression occurs in more than half of patients within 6 months following a stroke; 20 percent of patients with Parkinson’s disease will experience a major depressive episode. Older adults can be less inclined to acknowledge depression and may show less obvious symptoms. Many times they accept depression as part of aging when in fact it is not. Signs and symptoms of depression can include: • Persistent sad, anxious or empty feelings • Feelings of hopelessness, guilt or helplessness • Irritability and restlessness • Loss of interest in activities • Fatigue • Difficulty concentrating • Insomnia or excessive sleeping • Overeating or appetite loss • Thoughts of suicide or suicide attempts “Depression is often neglected when the focus is on treating a senior’s chronic medical condition but treating the depression could significantly improve quality of life,” added Knecht. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, only about 10 percent of seniors suffering from depression receive treatment. When untreated, depression leads to poor quality of life, decreased ability to live independently and an increased burden on caregivers. Studies show that the majority of older adults with depression respond Continued on page 202

medicare: general enrollment and general information n
By Terri Lewis
N
eed Medicare Part B? 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 Medicare 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 was $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 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.
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.
People who started receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits before age 65 do not need to apply; they will be automatically enrolled in Medicare. There is no additional charge for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A), since you already paid for it by working and paying Medicare tax. However, there is a monthly premium for medical insurance (Part B). If you already have other health insurance when you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider whether you want to apply for the medical insurance. To learn
more about Medicare and some options for choosing coverage, read the online publication, Medicare, at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10043.html or visit www.Medicare. gov. To learn more about applying for Medicare Only using the online application, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/medicareonly. Sandy Johnson is the Social Security Administration Area Director for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

program prevents falls
T
he facts are simple: for elderly people, preventing falls means preventing disaster. At the same time, staying mentally sharp is of paramount importance for maintaining a high quality of life. “Both of these goals are achievable,” said Karen Peterson, executive director of Giving Back, a 501c3 non-profit agency, and the founder of the highly acclaimed Move With Balance healthy aging program. Her new illustrated book Move With Balance: Healthy Aging Activities for Brain and Body offers dozens of movements (not exercises) that anyone, even the frailest elder, can do, plus links to 60 online demonstration videos. Peterson explains that Move With Balance is not a “workout” program in the usual sense with muscle-strengthening and limbering exercises as the primary goal. Instead, the activities combine coordinated movement with cognitive skills. For example, while elders move, they also read, recognize shapes or recite a poem. The underlying principle is to challenge the brain and body simultaneously with a sensory-motor activity, repeat it until the challenge becomes easier or even automatic, then up the stakes by repeating the activity at a higher level.
Developed over many years, these activities improve balance, sensory integration, spatial awareness, integration of the two hemispheres of the brain, brain timing and sequencing, reaction time, binocular teaming, and proprioception. Indeed, an independent evaluation shows a 38 percent reduction in falls for the treatment group using the Move With Balance program. Other benefits include increased coordination, sharper cognitive skills, better vision and enhanced selfconfidence and joy in the aging years. Peterson commented, “Move With Balance is user-friendly and fun. It improves balance and enhances cognitive function with a rich and adaptable set of activities, and independent evaluations reveal that these activities are dramatically effective.” “I met Karen Peterson twenty-five years ago when she introduced me to her expertise in movement and perception,” said Edvin Manniko OD, a behavioral optometrist. “We worked together to help alleviate vision and balance issues. Her present concern is enhancing balance and thereby preventing falls. This program is based on cutting-edge science. She uses modified techniques that Olympic athletes employ with good success. I wholeheartedly endorse her work to make seniors safer and to help them
Move with Balance challenges the brain and the body simultaneously to improve the health of seniors and reduce their risk of falling.
lead more active and productive lives.” Group leaders, caregivers, or individuals who purchase Move With Balance: Healthy Aging for Brain and Body receive support from an interactive website that includes the videos and other instructional elements. Karen Peterson, M.A. is the executive director of Giving Back and the founder of the Move With Balance healthy aging program. She has a combined 40 years of teaching experience in adult education programs, colleges and senior centers. More information is available at www. MoveWithBalance.org.

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.

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

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

marci’s medicare answers risk for hepatitis B, your shot will be Dear Marci, covered under Part D. Does Medicare cover shots and Medicare Part B also covers shots, vaccines? —Job after you have been exposed to a danDear Job, Yes, Medicare covers some shots and vaccines. However, the way Medicare covers them depends on which shot or vaccine you need. Medicare Part D, also known as the Medicare prescription drug benefit, covers most shots and vaccines that you get. However, Medicare Part B, the medical insurance part of Medicare, may cover certain shots and vaccines in some situations. Specifically, Part B covers vaccines to prevent the flu, pneumonia and hepatitis B. Keep in mind that Part B will cover your hepatitis B shot only if you are at medium-to-high risk for hepatitis B. If you are at low
gerous virus or disease. For example, if you step on a rusty nail, Medicare Part B will cover your tetanus shot to treat the spread of the tetanus bacteria. All other shots or vaccines, other than the ones mentioned above, are generally covered under Part D. Medicare Part D plans must include all commercially available vaccines on their formulary, or list of covered drugs, including the vaccine for shingles. Before you get a shot or vaccine, check with your Part D plan to see where you should get your shot at the lowest cost.
Dear Marci, I am signing up for Medicare for the first time. What is the “Welcome to Medicare” preventive visit? —Carrie
Dear Carrie, The “Welcome to Medicare” visit is a one-time, preventive visit with a doctor or health care provider that occurs within the first 12 months of your enrollment into Medicare Part B, the medical insurance part of Medicare. The “Welcome to Medicare” visit is not a routine, head-totoe physical exam. Rather, it is a preventive visit designed to map out your health care needs and create a preventive plan to keep you healthy. During your “Welcome to Medicare” visit, your doctor or health care provider —Marci may:

marci’s medicare answers • Review your medical and social history • Check your height, weight and blood pressure • Create a personalized plan to prevent disease based on your current health and risk factors • Counsel you on potential risk factors and educate you on other preventive services covered by Medicare If you have Original Medicare, the traditional Medicare program administered directly through the federal government, then you may pay nothing for the visit as long as you see a doctor who accepts Medicare and takes assignment. A doctor who takes assignment accepts the Medicare-approved amount for a service as full payment. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, also known
as a Medicare private health plan, you should contact your plan to see what rules and costs apply. All Medicare Advantage plans must cover the same preventive services that Original Medicare does and will generally do so as long as you follow the plan’s rules. Keep in mind that costs may apply if you receive additional services or screenings during the “Welcome to Medicare” preventive visit. It may be helpful to ask your doctor whether you have only received the Medicare-covered preventive visit or if any additional services were provided. —Marci Dear Marci, I have Medicaid and I am about to become eligible for Medicare. Can
I have both Medicare and Medicaid? —Billy
Dear Billy, Yes, if you are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, you can have both. Medicare is the federal health insurance program for disabled individuals and people 65 years or older. Medicaid is a federal and state health insurance program for people with low incomes. While both programs are different, they can work together to provide comprehensive health care coverage. People who have both Medicare and Medicaid are oftentimes referred to as dual-eligibles. If you receive health care services covered by Medicare, Medicare will pay first on those health care services and Continued on page 212

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.

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland
A
ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “Home-Based Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health, such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide 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.
ing services, home health aides and one 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 Home Health Agencies companions for individuals needing Home health agencies provide nurs- help in their home. The person seeking
assistance contracts directly with the individual who will provide the service and may pay the agency or the provider for services.

M
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.

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)
Certification; • Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) Certification; • Medicaid Personal Care Certification; • Medicaid/Medicare Certification. When trying to find a home health agency, ask for their license number. Be specific in asking for the license number issued by the Virginia Department of Health, and not the number for their license to operate a business.
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.

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 cen-
ters provide nutritious meals and snacks to handle. Inquire about the availability on a daily basis. of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary.

should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, no-
tice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs.
Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother.

A d u lt Day C e n t e r s
understanding types of adult day centers
According to the National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA), there are three types of adult day centers: social (which provide meals, recreation and some health-related services), medical/health (which provide social activities as well as more intensive health and therapeutic services) and specialized (which provide services only to specific care recipients, such as those with diagnosed dementias or developmental disabilities). Caregivers typically select the type of center a care recipient attends based on the care needed.
By 1978, adult day center owners/ managers saw the need to establish national standardized criteria that would allow caregivers the ability to rate and fully understand what adult day centers would provide for their loved ones. Thus, the NADSA formed in 1979. Since then, NADSA has made great progress in promoting the concept of adult day services as a viable community-based care option for people with disabilities within the larger constellation of longterm care services. For some caregivers, adult day cen-
ters provide them with the services they need to adequately care for their aging relatives. Whether they use the center for respite services or for daily care so they can work or attend to other responsibilities, adult day centers are an important option for family caregivers. Caregivers who are struggling to meet the needs of a family member should consider adult day centers when making care decisions. Information adapted from NADSA’s website. Additional information about adult day centers is available at www.nadsa.org.
Facts and Figures he 2010 MetLife National Study of Adult Day Centers confirmed over 4,600 centers operating in the United States providing T care for 150,000 care recipients each day.¹ It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 currently operating. n N early 78 percent of adult day centers are operated on a nonprofit or public basis and the remaining 22 percent are for profit.¹ n 70 percent of adult day centers are affiliated with larger organizations such as home care, skilled nursing facilities, medical centers or multi-purpose senior organizations. n The average age of the adult day center care recipient is 72¹, and two-thirds of all adult day center care recipients are women. n Thirty-five percent of the adult day center care recipients live with an adult child, 20% with a spouse, 18% in an institutional setting and 13% with parents or other relatives, while 11% live alone.¹ n Fifty-two percent of the adult day center care recipients using adult day services centers nationwide have some cognitive impairment.¹ n D aily fees for adult day services vary depending upon the services provided. The national average rate for adult day centers is $61 per day (includes 8-10 hours on average) compared to an average rate for home health aides of $19 per hour.² n Funding for adult day services comes from fees for service and third party payers, as well as public and philanthropic sources. n The average capacity of adult day centers is 40. ² n The average adult day center care recipient to staff ratio is 6:1. ² n

About the Prince George’s Senior Provider Network Prince George's Senior Provider Network improves the care and quality of the lives of seniors by providing them with education and resources through collaboration with community agencies and organizations. PGSPN is comprised of organizations that are dedicated to providing services to seniors in Prince George's County. The group was birthed out of an overwhelming need to provide the senior population, their families and providers with resources that affect daily living. In 2002 First Baptist Church of Glenarden became the official site to host our monthly meetings. The planning committee decided to include speakers who are respected and qualified local professionals in the county to speak on timely and important topics that address issues in the senior community. This became an invaluable vehicle for networking opportunities between service providers, healthcare providers and senior care providers and thus… the Prince George’s Senior Provider Network grew. In 2008 we started hosting ‘Caregiver Symposiums’ for the senior community. The symposiums are designed to provide up to date resource information and address the needs of our seniors and their families. In partnership with the community our symposiums have grown each year. In 2010 a website and signage materials were created to represent our presence in Prince George’s County and provide ongoing information. We started the process to become a Non-Profit organization. Visit pgspn.org for more information.

Prince George’s County
Department Of Family Services Area Agency On Aging 301-265-8450 www.princegeorgescountymd.gov/aging The Area Agency on Aging’s mission is to plan services and programs to meet the needs of older adults and their families; provide education on the available options; and advocate for the rights and protection of older adults. This is accomplished through the delivery of quality services, successful partnerships, and community outreach. The Area Agency on Aging’s vision is to provide the highest quality of services which offers options, and promotes independence for older adults and their families.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS Maryland Access Point of Prince George’s County serves as a single point of entry into the long-term care system for older adults and person with disabilities. The MAP is a partnership effort with the local Health Department, Department of Social Services, Independence Now, Inc. and the Department of Family Services, Mental Health and Disabilities Administration. This collaboration facilitates a one-stop shop for older persons, persons with disabilities and their families. Family Caregiving Program provides assistance to caregivers; that includes family, friends, and members of the community, with access to support groups, problem solving, education, and respite care. The caregiver provides care to an older individual who may be losing their ability to live and care for themselves independently. Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) provides free health insurance counseling and assistance to persons 55 years and older. Trained volunteer counselors provide information about Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap, Long-Term Care Insurance, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), claims, appeals, and about physician or hospital bills. Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) is a program designed to reduce the amount of federal and state funds lost due to health insurance fraud by increasing the public’s ability to detect and report possible fraud, waste, and abuse.
Home and Community Based Services Waiver Program for Older Adults enables older adults to remain in a community setting even though their advanced age or disability would warrant placement in a long-term care facility. The Waiver allows services that are typically covered by Medicaid only in a long term care facility to be provided to eligible persons in their own homes or in assisted living facilities. Money Follows the Person (MFP) is a demonstration project designed to streamline the transition process for individuals who chose to transition from a long-term care facility to a community setting. A community setting is defined by MFP as a resident’s own home, or an assisted living facility with four or less unrelated residents. The Area Agency on Aging will serve as the local single point of entry for applicants. Senior Nutrition Program provides older persons with a nutritionally sound and satisfying meal in strategically located congregate sites and/or in the seniors home. The program provides the framework and support for not only an American meal, but also a kosher meal program. Senior Assisted Living Group Home Subsidy Program combines housing with supportive services for seniors who need regular assistance with daily activities, but are not in need of nursing home placement. By offering congregate meals, housekeeping, personal services and 24-hour supervision, this program enables frail elders to continue living in the community. The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene license all homes. Homes that are enrolled in the Senior Assisted Living Group Subsidy Program that have subsidy residents are monitored quarterly by the Area Agency on Aging’s Program Monitor. Senior Care funds services for seniors who may be at risk of nursing home placement. Clients can access publicly funded services, or if they are not available, Senior Care will make arrangements with private vendors. These services can include personal care, chore, adult day care, financial help for medications, medical

supplies, respite care, home delivered meals, emergency response system, transportation, and others Senior Care is a gap-filling program for seniors 65 years of age and older who have limited income and assets. Long Term Care Ombudsman Program promotes the highest quality of life and care possible for residents in long term care facilities. The Ombudsman, with assistance of volunteers, investigates and seeks resolutions to problems, which affect residents' rights, health, care, safety and welfare. Public Guardianship Program ensures the provision of optimum care/services for adjudicated wards of the court, through professional case management. As an agent of the Circuit Court, case management decisions are made pertaining to medical care, living arrangement and overall personal welfare issues.
throughout the county. These children would otherwise be without the personal attention necessary for their social adjustment and maturation. Evidence-based Chronic Disease Self-Management is in partnership with Prince George's Community College to provide the “Living Well” Chronic Disease Self-Management Program to Older Adults in the County. This Program is a workshop given two and half hours, once a week, for six weeks, in community settings. People with different chronic health problems attend together. Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are non-health professionals with a chronic disease themselves. This program is especially helpful for people with chronic illness, as it gives them the skills to coordinate all the things needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.
Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a subsidized employment program and training which provides part-time employment and training for low-income older adults and improves and expands community services where needed.
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is a program designed to promote and educate the ideas and importance of a healthy lifestyle to senior citizens that attend Area Agency on Aging sponsored programs.
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides volunteer opportunities for over 400 seniors, age 55 and older. Volunteers serve in a variety of interesting and challenging assignments at over 50 non-profit organizations, schools and government agencies. In addition, RSVP offers such programs as friendly visiting, telephone reassurance, tutoring to school aged children, and provides supportive services to community and government agencies.

Telephone Reassurance Program recruits volunteers from the community, senior centers and other volunteer programs to place daily reassuring telephone calls to senior citizens within Prince George's County. The goal of the program is to eliminate some of the concerns facing senior citizens who live alone, thereby, assisting in remaining independent. The program provides the opportunity for senior citizens to connect by telephone with a friendly voice. This allows individuals to stay in contact with their community and to help decrease the feelings of loneliness and isolation. The Program also provides added peace of mind for relatives who live out of town. Foster Grandparent Program provides opportunities for older volunteers to work with physically, mentally and emotionally handicapped children in schools and special centers
