ensington Park Senior Living is a retirement community that’s grown into a happy family of happy families. We built our residence, lifestyle options and service offerings around an unyielding promise to give families the best chance to enjoy their time together. Our commitment to this promise is our nature, so not honoring it is not possible.
Three options make it easy for seniors to join our family in whatever way suits them best. We accommodate those who prefer a high level of independence, those who need light support or round-the-clock attention each day, and those who require help managing any degree of memory loss. In each case, our focus on service relieves residents of many household and everyday living responsibilities, giving them freedom to generously indulge their love of family time. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: “At Kensington Park, we take family very seriously.” With milder temperatures upon us and lots of activities on the horizon, now couldn’t be a better time to make yours part of ours.

Life at Williamsburg Landing…
ely on it
It’s about choosing a “retirement living” option that provides peace of mind for you and your family. Only a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) offers a socially fulfilling, independent lifestyle as well as a continuum of care from independent to assisted living and on-site skilled nursing care. Williamsburg Landing is the only accredited Continuing Care Retirement Community in town. It is an independent, not-for-profit with longstanding financial stability. Best of all, should your resources diminish, you will always be well taken care of. There is also much more to life at Williamsburg Landing. Within our tree-lined gated community is a collection of six neighborhoods with diverse home styles from a 645 sq. ft. apartment to a 2,650 sq. ft. three-bedroom home. You will enjoy maintenance-free living aided by a professional staff, healthcare if needed with full-time physician, resort-style health club and spa, and an abundance of cultural and educational opportunities. Welcome to Williamsburg Landing. It’s life at its best.
Newly renovated Landing building apartments and special incentives are now available. Call today for a community tour
(800) 499-2305 www.WilliamsburgLanding.com/sourcebook
Among just 15% of accredited Continuing Care Retirement Communities in the USA
Why should these Retirement Communities be on your short list? Nationally, only 15 percent of all Continuing Care Retirement Communities have earned the "seal of approval" from the non-profit CARF Continuing Care Accreditation Commission. The CARFCCAC is the nation's only system for accrediting continuing care retirement communities.
We are proud that our communities: ■ voluntarily meet the HIGHEST STANDARDS of excellence ■ submit to regular inspections and reviews ■ care about our residents' well-being and our staffs' training ■ maintain financial accountability and competent administration
We invite you to call or visit us to see what makes us different!

Time to Enjoy By Christy Brudin
F
ew things are more reliable than time. Time, they say, stops for no man. But some people are certainly better at making the most of their time—at seizing life’s opportunities and taking time to enjoy them. Vance and Mary Johnson are two of those people. From building a successful business together to creating their ideal retirement, the couple has been making the most of their time together for 40 years. As an amateur clock repairman, Vance has even been known to stop time— and make it start again. Now residents at Westminster at Lake Ridge, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) near Occoquan, Va., the Johnsons are enjoying all the benefits of living in a vibrant and engaging community. A native of Michigan, Vance graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in philosophy before attending seminary and being ordained as an Episcopal priest. His first assignment was at the Church of the Presidents, located across from the White House in downtown Washington, D.C. His time there afforded him several memorable experiences, including participating in the March on Washington and performing private services for President Lyndon B. Johnson following President Kennedy’s assassination. “That service started an interesting relationship with Lyndon Johnson, who didn’t like crowds when he worshiped,” Vance recalled. “Instead of coming to the morning service, he would come to the afternoon service, which is usually the one when I preached. We formed a real relationship with him, and my family referred to him as ‘Uncle Lyndon’ during those years.” After leaving his post at the Church of the Presidents, Vance served at a church in New Carrollton, Md., for several years before returning to graduate school. He currently serves on the clergy staff at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Reston. While in graduate school at Drexel University, Vance met Mary, who was one of his professors and an active business consultant. Shortly after graduation, Vance and Mary incorporated their own consulting firm. A successful business—and, later, personal—relationship was born. Mary spent her childhood in Philadelphia and later attended the University of Delaware. After graduating, she worked in human resources before leaving the workforce to get her MBA at Drexel University. “Back in 1968, I was the one woman they decided to accept into this experimental program, so I got one of the early MBAs in Organizational and Community Change,” she recalled. Following her graduation, Mary accepted a position on Drexel’s faculty. While teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses, she launched a consulting practice that
The Johnsons learned a valuable lesson from the two very different retirement paths taken by their own parents. Mary’s parents spent ten years enjoying life at a retirement community. Vance’s parents refused to plan ahead, and the family faced many difficult decisions.
combined her business acumen with her love of church and community. When she met Vance in her classroom, she had no idea the encounter would transform her business and her life. Mary and Vance combined their business ideas and professional contacts to build a successful consulting firm. Their unique business model allowed them to use their work with business clients to subsidize their work with nonprofits, including churches, religious orders and congregations.

It’s like retirement only better. Imagine your perfect retirement. A serene home in the country, yet near the excitement of a worldclass city. A place where family can gather and immediately feel a part of the community. This is a community defined by small town charm, a place to enjoy nature, visit a nearby quaint historic village or experience the excitement and culture of our nation’s capital.

Now that he is retired, Vance is nurturing his passion for clock repair work, which first developed while watching his father repair timepieces during the Depression.
The Johnsons made their partnership personal when they married in 1975. The couple settled in Reston, Va. However, their business required an immense amount of travel, and they often found themselves traveling separately. Despite their hectic schedules, Vance and Mary were able to spend weekends and vacations with Vance’s three children from a previous marriage. Long before retiring, the Johnsons started making plans for the future. The couple learned a valuable lesson from the two very different retirement paths taken by their own parents. Mary’s parents moved to a CCRC in the 80s and spent ten years enjoying all that the community had to offer. Vance’s parents refused to plan ahead, and the family faced a lot of increasingly difficult decisions as they aged. “We learned from our parents,” Vance explained. “We felt that it was our responsibility to take care of this for our children, so they didn’t have to face the kinds of things that my family did. We also wanted to enjoy the benefits we saw Mary’s parents enjoy.” Over the course of more than five years, Vance and Mary researched communities throughout the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. regions. When they came across Westminster at Lake Ridge, they liked its woodsy location and its close-knit community atmosphere. “This seemed ideal; it has always felt like a college town to me more than anything else,” Mary said. The Johnsons have been living in their cottage at Westminster for nearly a year now, and they couldn’t be happier with their decision. “It has been just perfect here,”
said Vance. Mary added, “We love it here. It’s exactly what we wanted. It’s a true community, filled with a great set of people. Our neighbors started welcoming us before we even got here.” From day one, the couple has been engaged in their new community. They are both involved in the Westminstrals singing group. Vance is part of a men’s discussion group and an investment club. He also conducts the Episcopal service on campus once a month. Mary participates in outreach activities, volunteers in the gift shop, and stays active at the fitness center. Vance is also finally able to truly nurture his passion for clock repair work, which first developed while watching his father repair timepieces during the Depression. Primarily self-taught, after retiring he decided to take his hobby a step further and attended a School of Horology associated with the University of Pennsylvania. He now takes on more complicated repair jobs, including some for his new friends and neighbors. However, Vance is careful to note that he doesn’t want his hobby to become a job. “I could do clock work full time here, and I don’t want to do that. I’m retired. I do it when I get around to it, and I tell people, ‘No promises,’” he said with a smile. Together, Mary and Vance Johnson built a very successful business and an exceedingly happy life. Having found the perfect community for them, they are now committed to creating an ideal retirement. While even Vance can’t truly stop time, the Johnsons can—and no doubt will—take the time to enjoy everything that retirement living has to offer.

HOW TO
utilize real estate transactions
transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices
P
reparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving and setting up a new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing. Step One: Preparing to sell or buy It is important that homeowners select a real estate agent who can meet their distinctive needs. The emergence of specialized real estate designations has made the process of choosing an agent easier. Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES) are licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. After finding a qualified agent, homeowners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the

condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home.
Step Three: Moving For many, moving day is simple and rewarding due to comprehensive, customized real estate services provided prior to the sale of the house. On moving day, real estate professionals can recommend trusted companies to help with the physical aspects of moving, while providing assistance with the job of unpacking and setting up the new home.
Step Two: Packing and sorting Items should be sorted into distinct categories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away. The initial list of items to keep will likely be larger than the new space can accommodate. Moving professionals, however, can offer advice by taking into account their client’s personal tastes, the financial and sentimental value of possessions, and the new floor plan.
Challenges become choices As the challenges of moving fade due to increasingly helpful professionals, people are left with nothing but choices—where to move, when to move, what to take and how to decorate the new home. Individuals considering a move are no longer faced with the difficult questions of how to market their homes and move their belongings, as there is help available every step of the way.
Are you thinking of downsizing? Want to free yourself of clutter? Need help getting ready to sell your home and want a professional to provide knowledge, care and support throughout the transition?

what home upgrades don’t cost a lot? n
Robin Jenks Vanderlip, BA, MC, CMRS, SRES, LUX, Professional Realtor
A “good upgrade” is a change that is not too expensive and makes the house look great. Some examples include: 1. Paint your cabinets. This can have amazing results when done right. Choose your color wisely. Earth and neutral tones are best. Use the proper paint and take your time. 2. Change or add hardware and fixtures. Oil rubbed bronze is all the rage, and brushed stainless steel looks very expensive. Tip: try to keep the same hardware throughout the house. At the very least, keep the same hardware within a room. 3. Apply fresh paint throughout. Walls, doors, ceilings and trim should all be freshly painted. Use the recommended colors that match in color samples. They are professionally blended to make your home look awesome. You can also add
a pop of color to make you feel good. Choose colors to boost your mood and energy. 4. Make your front door a focal point. Doors should be cheerful, clean and clutter free. Hardware should look nice, and the front lamp should be working. Painting the door and updating the fixture can make a big difference and set your house apart from the neighbors. 5. Have carpets cleaned or replaced. New textiles used in the production of carpet provide insulation and fewer chemicals in your home. Also look into tile, laminate and other materials like bamboo. The change will be amazing. 6. Take an honest look at your bathroom. Re-caulk, re-surface, re-grout, and replace your toilet seat. New towels and throw rugs can transform the bathroom.
We all tend to keep our home as it was when we moved in. Over the years, we maintain the same decorations, colors, and stuff in the same places. When making small changes and upgrades, the energy shifts in the house and that is good for our mood and our frame of mind. A good upgrade will make your house more in line with current trends and market expectations. Done correctly, home upgrades can give a house new energy, while improving both form and function. In the next issue, I will be writing about what to keep and what to get rid of in “The Basics of De-cluttering.” Please email me (Robin@howmuchismyhomeworthinva. com) with your questions, comments and future topics you would like to hear about.

HOW TO
understand estate planning and probate
elder law attorneys can help
E
state planning means much more than preparing a Last Will and Testament or tax planning for the disposition of your assets upon your death. Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximize the goals of the estate owner. The goals of estate planning typically include making sure the greatest amount of the estate passes to intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes. Estate planning must also provide for administration and protection of assets during lifetime and for decision-making in the event of a disabling illness. Any complete estate plan should contain: 1. A Last Will and Testament
2. A durable health care power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate agent) responsible for medical decisionmaking 3. A living will or other advance directive giving instructions concerning the type of care one wishes to receive (or avoid) in the event of a terminal illness, and 4. A durable financial power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate) responsible for asset and financial management if one is unable to do such things for oneself. Estate planning may also include the creation of trusts. Estate planning is an opportunity to make wishes known and to determine what person(s) will be responsible for carrying out those directives. You are
able to state your preferences concerning the type of care you receive, what types of medical care you do not wish to receive and can authorize someone to act as your agent in carrying out those wishes. Should you fail to do such planning, then there may be confusion as to what your wishes might have been and who you would have preferred to act as your decision-maker. In fact, without such information, your wishes may never be known. If you do not leave a Last Will and Testament, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestate succession in your state. There are laws in each state governing the rights of surviving spouses, heirs and next of kin in the absence of a Last Will and Testament. Continued on page 47

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

estate planning ... Continued from page 43
Probate Probate laws, practices and costs vary from state to state. A qualified Elder Law attorney will be able to advise you as to the probate laws, practices and costs in your state. What You Need To Know In preparing an estate plan, it is essential that all of your assets are considered. You should do a complete inventory of all that you own before contacting your estate planner. Your estate consists not only of your home, your car and your bank accounts. Your estate also includes the value of life insurance policies, investments that you may own (including those held in joint tenancy with other persons), your IRAs and other retirement accounts, and any other assets over which you can exercise control. It is extremely helpful for you to have a centralized and secured record of all of your financial accounts; insurance policies; credit, debit or loan accounts; safe deposit box; and account IDs and passwords. You will need to make decisions about what to include in your estate plan. First, you should determine who will inherit your property upon your death. You must also be certain that your spouse or heirs are capable of managing financial affairs. If capacity or vulnerability is an issue, you may want to name a trustee to handle financial affairs for him or her. You have to designate an Executor or Personal Representative to administer your estate. An alternate Executor or Personal Representative should also be appointed. Special
F i n a n c i a l M a n ag e m e n t arrangements may be needed if there are particular family issues, such as a second marriage by either spouse. You will also need to list any specific gifts you want to make to family or non-family members and/or to charities. Once these decisions are made and your inventory is completed, your attorney will be able to advise you as to the best technique to use in planning your estate. You should consider your preferences concerning health care options and decide who will be your decision-makers, and do the same with regard to your finances in the event of a disability. Finally, you should give thought to the difficult questions of what type of care you would want or not want in the event of terminal illness. If you have special desires concerning disposition of your remains, such as burial in a certain place or possible cremation, these should be brought up during your planning conference as well. These are complicated and personal issues. The advice of a qualified Elder Law attorney is essential to protect your financial health and welfare and to ensure that your health care wishes are known and carried out. The Role of the Elder Law Attorney Elder Law attorneys who specialize in estate planning are trained and experienced with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives or living wills, and the intricacies of estate and inheritance taxes. They may recommend accounting services, financial planners or insurance purchases, but they do not earn their fees by selling such products. As a result, you are more likely to get thorough and un-
biased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with a complete plan for caring for yourself or a loved one, transferring assets, and carrying out all of a clients’ wishes. In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. Be certain to assure yourself that the attorney you choose has such experience and training. Attorneys will ask clients for a great deal of information and will request original documents such as deeds, account statements and insurance policies. It is the attorney’s role to assure that all of the elements of the estate plan are properly handled and reviewing names on titles, beneficiary designations and other similar information is part of thorough planning. All of the information provided to an attorney is, of course, confidential and may not be disclosed to others without your permission. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), founded in 1987, is a national association of Elder Law Attorneys devoted to the education and training of attorneys who can meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, and who advocate for the needs of such individuals. The content of this article was originally published in a NAELA brochure and is being reprinted with permission. For more information, please visit, www.NAELA. org. To Find an Attorney, visit www.

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-

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 appropriate without caus-
ing 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?
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.
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 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.

Activity Program for People with Dementia and Disabilities CareOptions announces the Personal Enrichment Program (PEP). PEP is an individualized activities program offered in the person’s residence, which enhances the lives of those who experience dementia and/or a physical disability. PEP provides cognitive and/or sensory stimulation while engaging the person. As a result of these activities, the individual feels a sense of success and thereby his/her quality of life improves. PEP becomes a stimulating and fun part of the week. PEP uses Montessori techniques to promote meaningful engagement by matching past interests with present skills and customizing program activities. The Montessori approach to learning is based on the educational theories of Maria Montessori, an Italian children’s educator. Montessori techniques are based on observing and learning about the strengths and needs of the person, instead of focusing on their problems and deficits. They place great importance on adapting the learning experience to the developmental level of the individual. A “hands on/muscle memory” approach stimulates the five senses during these sessions and can help to preserve practical skills.

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

evaluating physicians who offer house calls a guide for patients and families n By Eric Baron, MD
F
or every individual in a nursing home, there are three more people equally fragile and infirm living at home, according to the American Academy of Home Care Physicians (AAHCP). Physicians and medical groups specializing in house calls have become increasingly available to such patients. If you are unable to visit your own physician, house call physicians who come to your home can provide consultations to your doctor or serve as your private doctor. Because of changes in medical technology, a physician can come to your home with portable medical equipment and provide high-quality medical care. When it comes to finding a potential house call physician, Alan Dappen, MD with doctalker, recommends two methods - research and referrals. “The AAHCP is the largest house call organization in the country, and its website lists physicians in the academy by state and locality,” he says. “There are also hundreds of organizations that provide services to the elderly and many of them know physicians in the area that can do house calls.” Though there is a greater need for these physicians as more individuals prefer to age in place, Dappen says the options are
unfortunately limited in the Fairfax, Va., area. He and the medical team of doctalker have formed a transitional medical business model by emphasizing the doctor/patient relationship and making themselves available by phone 24/7 and performing house calls as requested. “More than 50 percent of the time, I can get you what you need immediately by phone,” says Dappen. “We’re creating a model where the doctor has the best information and can look things up instantly, whether it is a doctor you can consult, a lab you’d want to use, or the side effects of a drug.”
• Do you have a medical director and, if so, is the medical director present every day? • Are you Board-certified? “One of the easiest and most useful measurements of a physician is whether they are Board-certified,” says Dappen. “That way, you know they’re keeping up with their education and taking an exam every several years to remain certified.” If the physician answers "no" to any of these questions, however, you should consider calling your local Area Agency on Aging before letting the physician into your home.
Finding the Best Physician A higher quality of medical care results from good physicians who are well-supervised. With the following information, you can evaluate physicians specializing in house calls, so that you will be able to get the best physician possible to visit your home. To protect yourself and your family, it is vital to learn how to recognize poorlysupervised medical groups. The following questions are important to ask any physician offering to come to your home: • Is the physician who owns your medical group present every day at the local facility?
The AAHCP provides a list of its members and medical groups providing home care physician services as a public service. The listing is intended for informational purposes only. The AAHCP does not check the compliance of its members with licensing, billing or other regulatory requirements. It cannot attest to the qualifications and billing practices of individual physicians. Therefore, users should obtain information about licensure, qualifications and billing from the physicians and groups themselves.

maintain a healthy mouth Too often, seniors and their caregivers neglect dental care in favor of attending to more pressing physical and emotional challenges. However, doing so is not only unhealthy, it is also dangerous. Poor oral hygiene can lead to cavities; severe pain; and serious health complications, including pneumonia. According to a study by Ralph Rosenblum Jr., DDS, MHA, published in The Journal of the American Dental Association, good oral hygiene can reduce the incidence of pneumonia and respiratory tract infections in elderly nursing home residents or hospital patients. These dangerous infections are linked to poor oral health because as bacteria builds up in the mouth, it can easily be inhaled into the lungs. In the last several decades, oral health has improved dramatically—with more seniors retaining their natural teeth

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.

M
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 coverage medicare may cover the costs of durable medical equipment
P
atients who need durable medical equipment (DME) may be eligible to receive coverage for the costs of the equipment under Medicare Part B. Medicare Part B is the medical insurance portion of Medicare, which requires most people to pay a standard premium amount for coverage. As part of this coverage, insured individuals can receive DME for use in their homes. To be covered by Medicare, DME must be prescribed by a doctor and must be for in-home use. In addition to being prescribed, DME must also meet these criteria to be covered by Medicare: • Durable (long-lasting) • Used for a medical reason • Not usually useful to someone who isn't sick or injured • Used in your home Some examples of DME covered by Medicare are listed below. While this list includes some of the more common items prescribed, it is not comprehensive and patients and their families should consult with Medicare or a qualified DME provider for more information about coverage of a specific piece of equipment. Covered items include: • Air-fluidized beds • Blood sugar monitors • Blood sugar (glucose) test strips

quired by Medicare to rent certain pieces of equipment, while you may need to buy others. Medicare will only cover the costs of DME supplied by companies enrolled in Medicare. Consumers should also be aware that they may have to pay the entire bill for DME at the time that they receive the equipment. This will include both Medicare’s amount and the consumer’s personal charge. The consumer will then be reimbursed for Medicare’s amount.
Competitive Bidding Program In some areas of the country, including some locations in the Washington, D.C. metro region, consumers will be subject to Medicare's Competitive Bidding Program when selecting DME. Under this program, suppliers submitted bids to provide certain medical equipment and supplies at lower prices. Qualified, accredited suppliers with winning bids are chosen as Medicare contract suppliers. As part of this program, Medicare will only help pay for DME if it is provided by contract suppliers. More information about the program, as well as a list of regions where it is active, can be found at Costs and Payment Methods http://www.medicare.gov/what-medicareGenerally, Medicare enrollees will covers/part-b/competitive-bidding-propay 20 percent of the Medicare-approved gram.html. amount for DME.

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

shopping for a response system
A
s an increasing number of seniors choose to age in place in their homes, safety and security are becoming even more important. Seniors and their families want to know that the home environment is safe and that medical assistance is always available if needed. For many seniors, a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) provides the security they need to remain at home. The simple device keeps seniors connected to emergency call centers that are monitored 24 hours a day by using a small transmitter that can be worn around the neck, on a wristband or on a belt, as well as placed in a pocket. Once seniors and their families have decided that they need a PERS, the process of finding the right service and provider begins. First, consumers should be aware that they can purchase, rent or lease a PERS. They should also understand that Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance companies do not pay for PERS equipment. In the unlikely event that they do pay, a doctor’s recommendation will be required. Therefore, in most circumstances, the costs for a PERS will paid for out of pocket. However, local hospitals and social service agencies may offer subsidies for low-income users. The local Area Agency on Aging should be able to provide more information about subsidies
available in the community. When purchasing a PERS, consumers will typically pay a one-time installation fee, as well as a monthly monitoring charge. For rentals, fees generally include use of the equipment and the monitoring service. Before deciding on any PERS provider, seniors should consult with their friends and neighbors to see if they are already using a provider and are satisfied with the service. Recommendations from trusted peers are the best way to find reliable providers. The local Area Agency on Aging should also be able to provide a list of all providers in the area. While they cannot provide recommendations, the information they can offer can ensure that seniors do not overlook any potential providers. Once seniors and their families have carefully reviewed all the local options, they should interview providers. While meeting with a PERS salesperson, seniors should be sure to get all their questions answered. They should particularly focus on understanding all the fees, as well as the terms of the agreement. The questions on the following page can help guide the discussion. As with any major purchase, seniors and their families should carefully review the PERS contract before they sign it. In particular, they should look out for extra charges noted in the contract. For instance, they should make a note of the

cancellation fees that will apply if they opt to discontinue the service. With all the PERS options on the market today, seniors should never have to fear being alone in their own homes. With the enormous security provided by a small button, seniors can continue to live independently, knowing that help is only a touch away.

HANDRAILS Install handrails on both sides of all stairways—making sure they extend the full length of the stairway. Also make sure you have lights at the top and bottom of the stairs. BATHROOM SAFETY Install grab bars in your bathtub or shower stall and near a toilet. Never use towel racks for balance—they can easily come loose, causing a fall. EXERCISE DAILY Using your muscles helps maintain balance, strength, and flexibility. Try Tai Chi, walking, water aerobics, or dancing. FOOTWEAR It’s best to wear thin, non-slip soled shoes, not thick-soled jogging shoes.

ging in place can be easy if you choose the right place and plan ahead for future needs. Robert (Bob) and Fran Randolph have done both. The Randolphs live in a spacious condo in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg, a welcoming community that is becoming part of the nationwide Village Movement. They have also remodeled their condo to make it more accessible, focusing particularly on a universally designed master bathroom that is both beautiful and functional. Bob, who has a Ph.D. in Russian History, served as the executive director of a research organization prior to retiring on disability due to his advancing multiple sclerosis (MS). He now volunteers his time for the Boy Scouts and serves on Kentland’s community board. With a Dr.P.H. in public health, Fran spent most of her professional career working in the mental health field and recently retired from a federal agency. Retiring has given her time to focus on other interests. Fran now serves as an executive life coach, helping individuals through major life transitions, including retirement. She is also leading the volunteer-based effort in Kentlands to create a village. “We are actively working to create a village in Kentlands,” Fran explained. “While our model is similar to the national Village Movement, we have expanded our target population to include all ages.” The Village Movement encourages neighbors to

join together to provide various services, so members can live comfortably and age in place. While most villages are limited to those 50+, Kentlands' model will include residents of all ages. While working to continually improve her community, Fran has also dedicated her time to improving her own living space. During a presentation by the MS Society on making homes more accessible, Fran and Bob met Stephen Hage, a Certified Aging in Place specialist and owner of Strategies for Independent Living, LLC. After

consulting with a number of builders and designers, the Randolphs decided to work with Strategies to remodel their master bathroom. “Stephen talked to my husband about his current needs and really developed a rapport with him,” Fran recalled. “He took the time to understand what Bob needed, as opposed to telling him what he needed, and he was incredibly supportive and never aggressive.” The completely remodeled bathroom is based on the concepts of universal design, which calls for approaches that are inherently accessible for older adults, people with disabilities, and people without disabilities. The bathroom now includes lots of accessible counter space around the sink, as well as storage space around the toilet, to accommodate the medical supplies Bob needs. One of the sinks is designed so a wheelchair can roll underneath. Meanwhile, the shower is double width and includes handheld attachments that are automatically adjusted for temperature. “Our bathroom is just gorgeous, and it is really functional,” Fran said. “The previous designs we saw from other firms were so unattractive, so medicinal.” Both Fran and Bob are thrilled with the finished bathroom, as well as the remodeling process. “Stephen and his team were always great. They kept us updated, and they worked really hard to minimize any inconveniences,” Fran concluded. Now the Randolphs are enjoying their new space, as they age in place in a world-class community they are helping to improve.

HOW TO
access benefits for veterans
help is available for service members
I
ndividuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans. Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for
DIGNITY
training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is based
on priority groups. Congress determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that limited funds are provided to higher priority Veterans first. Priority groups range from 1-8, with 1 being the highest priority. Group 1 includes Veterans who are more than 50 percent disabled, while Group 8 is made up of individuals who are not rated as disabled and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, they will be assigned a priority group. If Continued on page 71

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 Allowance to certain eligible Veterans who
are restricted to their residence because of a permanent disability. This additional monthly monetary benefit can be used to help pay for needed care services provided in the Veteran’s home. To apply for either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387). Information adapted from http:// www.va.gov/geriatrics/ and from Health Care Benefits Overview 2012, a publication of the VA available at http://www. va.gov/healthbenefits/resources/epublications.asp.

HOW TO
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving 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.

These THREE QUESTIONS can make a difference when planning for the level or length of care that is right for you: 1.
Have you planned to protect assets to pay for long term care and standard living expenses at the same time? Have you changed investment and cash flow planning in consideration of new long term care expenses?
2.
3.
Have you planned ahead for deducting long term care expenses on your taxes?
If you answered No or I don’t know to any of these questions, you might be missing critical information that could help you pay for quality long term care as long as possible.
We can help.

HOW TO
receive care for life
continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. There are three basic
150727 Collington GRL DC Winter Ad_USE.indd 1
types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care
Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities. While emergency and shortterm nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all longterm nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life, and assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

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

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

get excellence in care a quality improvement initiative to benefit consumers According to the website for LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, Quality First is a framework to help aging services providers achieve excellence and earn the public’s trust. Quality First is about raising the consciousness of all the stakeholders–government, consumers, and their families. Quality First applies to the full continuum of aging services including adult day services, home health, community services, senior housing, assisted living residences, continuing care retirement communities and nursing homes. All LeadingAge members can improve performance by using Quality First in areas such as continuous quality improvement, better human resources management and risk management. Most im-
portantly, adopting LeadingAge Quality First can help individuals better understand and trust the available aging-services options.
can implement Quality First. Increasing staff awareness and upgrading equipment are some initiatives taking place as a result of Quality First.
The Core of Quality First The ten Elements of Quality that cover all aspects of aging services organizations are the basis for this philosophy. They are: Commitment, Governance and Accountability, Leading-Edge Care and Services, Community Involvement, Continuous Quality Improvement, Human Resources Development, Consumer-Friendly Information, Consumer Participation, Research Findings and Education, and Public Trust and Consumer Confidence.
Consumers Reap Benefits of Quality First Consumers can use Quality First when seeking a quality long-term care provider for themselves or a loved one. The free Consumers’ Guide to Quality Aging Services includes questions consumers can ask when they visit different senior housing options and when they inquire about adult day and home health services.

Understanding Local Continuing Care Retirement Communities In the District of Columbia: Continuing Care Retirement Communities are regulated by the Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking. This government agency protects the wellbeing of Washington, D.C. residents by ensuring that CCRCs are qualified and properly licensed to conduct business in the District. For more information, visit www.disb.dc.gov In Maryland: The Maryland Department of Aging provides a comprehensive consumer information packet for persons interested in learning more about these communities, the law and the regulations. Consumers may request a packet by calling 410-7671100 or 1-800-243-3425 (toll-free), or by visiting www.aging.maryland.gov.
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 longterm 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 singlefamily development, except that they provide special services, including secu-
rity — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote
A F IVE S TAR I NDEPENDENT
AND
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.

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.

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.

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

affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privately-owned communities near you. Source: http://www.aahsa.org/article. aspx?id=3780

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 Housing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies to eligible residents of low and moderate income se-
nior housing who, due to advanced age or chronic health conditions, need daily help with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping and personal services. 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 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. 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. Virgina Independent Living Communities can be referred to in a variety of ways depending on the location and the services provided at the community. Senior apart-

ANNUA L SURVEY. LIVING SPACE. SENIOR LIVING.
F
ments, 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 facilities.” They define congregate housing facilities as generally providing private living quarters, meals in a central dining room, shared living spaces, and access to social and recreational facilities. The VDA states, “For people who do not require nursing home care, congregate housing is a very popular and economic alternative to institutional care. It is most suitable for the more frail members of the elderly population - those who find it difficult to manage home maintenance, shopping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.” Rent subsidies under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 8 Rental Assistance Program may be available to assist with the cost of rent in congregate housing facilities.

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

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

don’t let the taxman crash your retirement failing to fund your tax-deferred retirement accounts can cost you n
By Roger Roemmich
Nobody loves the taxman, and yet people pay him more than they have to. Instead of maximizing annual contributions to a traditional IRA or a 401(k) account, they pay the taxes now instead of deferring them until they retire. That’s a critical mistake. Let’s pretend you can save enough to max out your 401(k) this year. Yes, it can seem impossible for some to cough up the $23,000 (standard maximum contri-
bution of $17,500, plus the $5,500 catchup addition for workers over 50). But the key point is to illustrate the tax savings, which would be $5,750 in the 25 percent tax bracket. The tax savings will be less on the maximum contribution of $6,500 for an IRA in 2014, but still well worth taking advantage of. Congress added the 401(k) to the tax code in 1978 to give Americans an Continued on page 108

incentive to save for retirement. Many workers over 50 aren’t saving, though. Workers between age 50 and 64 have only saved an average of $28,000 for retirement, says the National Institute on Retirement Security. That’s a pretty sobering statistic, especially since saving in tax-deferred accounts is so advantageous. Assume you’ve got $1,000 and you’re in the 30 percent bracket for combined state and federal taxes. If you pay the tax now, you’ve got only $700 to save and grow
for retirement. If your investment earns 6 percent interest per year, all the growth would be taxed as ordinary income at the 30 percent rate. Your earnings at 6 percent would equal an after-tax return of 4.2 percent. Tax deferrals are the sexiest part of any strategy for retirement planning! Over a 12-year period, the return on the $1,000 would be 22.82 percent. Funding tax-deferred retirement accounts saves you money on the tax bill up front, and lets you grow the contribution taxfree until age 70.5, when you have to start taking money out. Spending down emergency savings or securing a lowContinued on page 110
Spending down emergency savings or securing a low-interest home equity loan to fund your tax-deferred accounts in the years just before retirement is a wise move that many people don’t even consider.

Assisted Living
assisted living service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for care that describes needs, likes and preferences and the specific manner in which this care will be delivered. Prepared thoroughly and thoughtfully, the service plan can help a resident achieve their highest level of function and quality of life. The service plan uses an interdisciplinary approach and includes the resident, the family if the resident wishes, the facility nurse and resident service coordinator, and may also include the

activity and dining directors. Many states require that assisted living facilities prepare service plans for each resident. Even if the state does not require it, a well run facility will use them. CCAL recommends that service plans be reevaluated every six months or anytime there is a significant change in a resident’s health status, including a hospitalization. For more information, visit the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living website at www.ccal.org

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

3. Don’t try to do it all. In many cases, a nearby family member, perhaps you, will take on caretaking duties, thinking you can or should be able to handle it all. Plus, Mom really trusts and relies on you and wouldn’t feel comfortable with a stranger in the home. Things may go along fine for a while, but as the picture turns more complicated, you may quickly become overwhelmed and ineffective. Go ahead and step up if you’re the one who lives closest or has the most time or financial wherewithal to deal with an initial crisis. But then, assess the situation and quickly marshal your resources. Call a family meeting—via Skype, if need be—and find out what other family members are willing and able to do. A brother or sister who lives across the country may not be able
to make daily visits, but perhaps he or she could pay for or a cleaning service to help with laundry and housekeeping. And what about those teenagers striving for more independence? If they have a driver’s license, they can be tasked with making a daily wellness check, running errands or tending to Grandma’s pets. 4. Manage medications and therapies. Develop a simple system to track medication, prescribed exercises, nutritional supplements and other health related needs. There are websites that allow for information-sharing among family caregivers, which can be great. But a simple calendar or spreadsheet along with pre-filled pill boxes can also work. Make sure the system is user-friendly for all who will rely on it. Leave a spot for notes to indicate when medications must be refilled or supplies replenished.
Keep in mind that most paid caregivers, unless they are nurses, are not allowed to administer medication—in other words, hand out pills. But caregivers can remind people to take their medication and this is often all that is needed. 5. Explore community resources. Finding a handicap-accessible transportation service to take your mom to the hairdresser or to visit friends can go a long way toward maintaining her mental and emotional well-being. If Mom can’t leave the house, look into religious organizations, senior centers and local areas on aging that offer home supports or social calls. If your senior feels isolated and needs more company, sometimes variety can spice up life. Many colleges and schools of social work have volunteer programs for students interested in aging studies.

6. Reassess your routine every two weeks. Or more often if conditions are changing rapidly. See what’s working and what isn’t. Talk to your parents and grandparents, spouse or partner— find out if they’re happy with the care they’re getting, or if they’d prefer more, less or different. Consider whether your loved one is still safe living at home and whether you feel their mental or physical condition warrants a change. And don’t be discouraged by setbacks, along with an occasional crisis or two. If you keep yourself grounded, tend to your own needs, and are open to support, you will be able to withstand the ups and downs of caregiving. And hopefully enjoy the journey as well. Jody Gastfriend, LICSW, is the VP of Senior Care for Care.com.

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

AssiSted Living
Understanding Assisted Living in Virginia According to the Virginia Department of Social Services, Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) are non-medical residential settings that provide or coordinate personal and health care services; 24-hour supervision; and assistance for the care of four or more adults who are aged, infirm or disabled. This care may be provided in one or more locations. Assisted living facilities are not nursing homes. A nursing home is a facility in which the primary function is the provision, on a continuing basis, of nursing services and health-related services for the treatment and inpatient care of two or more non-related individuals. Nursing homes are regulated by the Virginia Department of Health.
Alzheimer’s 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 Assisted 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 serv-
ing 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. Small assisted living facilities allow residents As with any community, it is impor- to maintain independence. tant to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their For more information, a comprehensive families.

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

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

generosity runs deep in boomers study explores family interdependencies and retirement
D
uring the last five years, three out of five Americans age 50 and older have provided financial assistance to members of their family, including adult children, parents, grandchildren, siblings or other relatives, according to a new Merrill Lynch study. Conducted in partnership with Age Wave, “Family & Retirement: The Elephant in the Room” is an in-depth study exploring modern family interdependencies and the challenges Boomers face in balancing them with their own retirement plans and financial security. Conducted in August 2013, the study is based on a nationally representative survey of more than 5,400 respondents.
The average financial assistance provided to family members during the last five years was nearly $15,000 – and significantly more among the nation’s wealthiest families. This support may have been to help relatives meet a onetime need or ongoing assistance over the course of many years, and was often given without expecting anything in return. However, the vast majority of people age 50 plus (88 percent) have not factored such support for family into their financial planning. “Given the challenging economic climate during the past several years, it’s not surprising that so many Americans have extended financial support to their loved ones,” said Andy Sieg, head of Global Wealth and Retirement
Solutions for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “However, such admirable willingness to assist family members should not place one’s own long-term financial security in jeopardy.” Additional highlights from the study include: Are you the Family Bank? Nearly three in five people (56 percent) age 50 plus believe a member of their family is the “Family Bank,” meaning someone who their extended family is most likely to turn to for financial help. This person is often the one who is most financially responsible, has the most money or is the easiest to approach. Continued on page 145

getting home sooner with rehabilitation high-quality rehabilitative services make a difference
R
ehabilitation 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. 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 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.

Sacrificing Retirement for Family: Half of pre-retirees age 50 plus say they would make major sacrifices that could impact their retirement to help family members. Among these preretirees, 60 percent would retire later, 40 percent would return to work after retiring, and more than one-third (36 percent) say they would accept a less comfortable retirement lifestyle to help family financially.
generosity extends to a shift in mindset regarding inheritance. For example, 60 percent of people age 50 plus say they would prefer to begin passing on their assets during retirement, rather than waiting until the end of life. Marriage in Retirement: Close to half of married retirees say their marriage is more fulfilling (48 percent) and loving (45 percent) in retirement, and just 11 percent say it is more boring or contentious. However, divorce is becoming increasingly common among older adults. One in seven people age 50 and older who were once married are now divorced and single – a seven-fold increase since 19601. After a divorce, average household income drops by more than 40 percent for women and by 25 percent for men2.
age 50 plus, have contributed significantly to the rise in blended families. Nearly two in five people (37 percent) age 50 and older are now part of a blended family3. Nearly one-third (31 percent) of people age 50 plus with stepchildren say it complicates financial planning. “Families are a major source of fulfillment during retirement years – but can also create unforeseen financial pressures,” said Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Age Wave. “Too often, people plan for their retirement without factoring in how they might be called upon to help out their adult children, aging parents and siblings.” The study found that the vast majority of people age 50 plus have not prepared for potential family events and challenges that could affect their retirement, including:
Generosity & Inheritance: Those helping family financially rarely do so because they expect future help or payback. People age 50 plus are 20 times more likely to say they are helping family because “it is the right thing to do” than because “family members will help them Perpetual Parenthood & Booin the future” (80 percent vs. 4 percent). merangs: They are 5 times more likely to stop support Blended Families: because a recipient is not using the money One in five parents (19 percent) age Rising divorce rates, which peaked in wisely than because of worries about being the 1980s among all age groups and dou- 50 plus have at least one “boomerang” paid back (57 percent vs. 11 percent).

More than two-thirds (68 percent) of parents age 50 plus have provided some form of financial support to their adult children during the last five years – among which, 36 percent did so without knowing how their money was being used. Those parents who are aware of how their money is being spent say it is given to help adult children with their rent or mortgage (20 percent), cell phone bills (18 percent), car payments (17 percent), health care expenses (15 percent) and student loans (11 percent), among other things. Loss of a Spouse through Death or Divorce: Only one-third (33 percent) of people age 50 and older say they feel well prepared for retirement if everything goes as they expect. Less than one-quarter (24 percent) would feel prepared if their spouse died or they divorced – a troubling statistic given that more than half of women over the age

Dear Debbie: Of course you can, Debbie. In fact, I encourage you do so starting today. Most of us grow up with some form of music in our lives. Whether it’s learning to play an instrument or having family members sing to us, it’s likely we have some fondness for music. For an elderly individual, music’s most powerful effect is that it integrates into the long-term memory. As we age, music of the past holds a powerful significance, since it can bring back

positive memories from childhood and young adulthood. These positive memories in turn can help your grandma cope and focus on the positive in life. Music can bring her back to who she was and help her move forward with who she is now. It can make her feel that she’s more connected to her family and surrounding community. Ask your grandmother about her favorite music, holiday tunes and lullabies and then play them for her. Music is like magic. It has the power to revive people and resuscitate their sense of self.

will to stick with his exercise program. What can I do? —Cheryl Dear Cheryl: When someone has undergone a medical or physical challenge, it can be extremely difficult for them to continue with rehab once they return home from the hospital or care facility. It’s an especially difficult transition since they no longer have the stimulation and encouragement of the nurses and professionals around them. You should do all you can to keep him motivated and improving. But to do that, you must get involved. You can’t just give him the pictures or the video and the exercises he needs to do. If at all possible, stop by and do

the activities with him. If you can’t be there, suggest that he put on his favorite music while he’s exercising. Time things to a favorite television show. It can also be effective with big sports fans to have them work out while the game is on.
M
y mother is 94 years old and lives in an assisted living facility. My wife and I recently spoke to her on the phone. She told us stories of seeing the hatred in the eyes of a caregiver just before being hit in the eye by a ball that was being tossed in an exercise class. She attributed the ineffectiveness of a cataract operation on the impact of the ball. Being hit in the eye by a ball happened. But my mother has very little eyesight and could not have seen the eyes of her caregiver. Her story of the caregiv-
Celebrating 50 Years 1964 to 2014
er’s motivation is her own delusion and paranoia. I fear that she is experiencing depression and/or dementia. I have encouraged my sister, who lives close to her, visits her several times a week, and is my mother’s primary caregiver, to discuss the situation with the physician who visits the patients in the facility. I asked her today to ask the physician if my mother should be examined by a qualified mental health gerontologist to see if any tools are available to improve my mother’s mental health. I do not want to see her on yet another medication, but I do want to be methodical in addressing a problem that is diminishing my mother’s quality of life. Although this explanation is based on one phone call and one incident, it is behavior that my mother
exhibits not infrequently in other contexts. Any ideas? —Tom Dear Tom: Being concerned about someone who is at a distance, in this case your mother, is very disconcerting. As you stated, your mother is in an Assisted Living Facility and your sister is the primary caregiver because she lives close by. Under these circumstances, those who are closest, who can see firsthand what is happening, are best able to serve your mother’s interests. It is a good idea, though, to bring in another professional to give a second or even a third opinion, such as a psychiatrist, neurologist or a nutritionist, to make sure that your mother’s needs are not being overlooked. It is hard to see our loved ones get Continued on page 150

older and change. It is our job to see that they get the best care that can be provided for them. Thank you for being so concerned for her welfare. The best thing you can do is to continue to keep the lines of communication with your sister open, and to remain as supportive as you can.
M
y father-in-law is in very poor health. He and my mother-in-law live at home. She is the caregiver for him but her mental health is starting to suffer, and she is becoming very forgetful. We are doing everything we can to get them into a safer living environment, preferably assisted living. They are being very resistant to selling their house and taking the necessary steps to get into assisted living. We have checked out facilities, contacted realtors, and done everything we can to help them take the first steps towards moving into a safer living environment. We are fearful that a crisis is going to force them to act, and we hope to prevent a crisis. If one of them winds up in the hospital, the other one cannot stay home alone. How do we get them to see this? When do children step in
and say a change has to happen and give the parents a time frame it needs to happen in? —Debbie Dear Debbie: Thank you for your detailed submission. When we see that our family members need assistance, direction or guidance, we want to jump right in and come to their aid. This is a natural reaction. When they don’t respond to our offers or suggestions, we are sometimes taken aback or even hurt or offended. One of the most difficult things to handle in these situations is keeping our own emotions in check and staying practical and focused. When we are discussing anything with an older person, or in your case, two seniors, it is best to keep everything as simple as possible. Write out the options you are discussing in large print. Too much information, especially if it is coming to them all at once, can be overwhelming to fully comprehend and absorb. In addition, with what you have indicated, their physical, emotional and thinking processes are changing. If you have stated your information and concerns clearly and in a logical way, and you are not getting the response you think is appropriate for their own safety, it may be time to bring in a trusted

friend, or even professional help such as a social worker, geriatric care manager, financial planner, or elder care lawyer. To move out of your home and community, and to think about all that it entails, can be overwhelming for anyone. Try to understand their needs from their perspective. As long as they have the mental capacity to make a decision, their thoughts and feelings must always be taken into consideration. This takes enormous patience on your part. Just keep reinforcing that you care about them and want them to be safe and in the best possible environment. Dr. Marion (Marion Somers, Ph.D.) is the author of “Elder Care Made Easier” and has more than 40 years of experience as a geriatric care manager, caregiver, speaker and expert in all things elder care. She offers practical tools, solutions and advice to help caregivers everywhere through her book, web site, iPhone apps (Elder 411/911), cross-country speaking tours and more.

best design practices for dementia care facilities
P
erkins Eastman Research Collaborative and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) recently published a white paper, “Excellence in Design: Optimal Living Space for People With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.” The extensive report details best design practices and other considerations concerning residential care settings for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease. Release of this report comes as incidence of Alzheimer’s disease is escalating nationwide. Currently, it is estimated that more than 5 million Americans are living with the brain disorder, and that number is expected to triple by mid-century. Together, Perkins Eastman and the AFA developed “Excellence in Design” with the goal of fostering a continuous dialogue within the architectural and interior design community, as well as the long-term care industry about how best to design supportive and therapeutic residential settings for the dementia population. AFA originally approached Perkins Eastman to explore the intersection of dementia care and forward-thinking senior housing design. The resulting report illustrates how experts’ evolved understanding of the disease has inspired the design of flexible facilities with firstrate amenities and high-quality, personcentered care that allow individuals to live comfortably and with dignity. “Excellence in Design” offers step-by-step guidelines to enhance the physical environment to support a person’s remaining abilities and provide a safe, supportive, enriching, empowering and person-centered care setting. The report also details all aspects of an environment’s impact on daily living, including active engagement and security, and provides numerous examples of facilities, both built and conceptual, where this design criteria applies. “Everyone wants—and deserves—a

supportive place he or she can call home,” says Emily Chmielewski EDAC, an Associate with Perkins Eastman and the report’s author. “Our goal in developing this report was to present a philosophy of both care and design that will help change the long-term care landscape to meet the needs of residents, their families and professional caregivers.” According to Carol Steinberg, AFA’s president and a key contributor to the report, “We are enormously grateful to the Perkins Eastman team for taking on this important project. Where and how people with dementia live is an essential conversation, from medical, economic, social and practical perspectives.” Steinberg continues, “In the absence of a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, care is critical. This report presents practical building blocks for improving the overall care experience Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
both for residents and their families. The domino effect can be enormous.” The design guidelines complement AFA’s “Excellence in Care” program, which evaluates and consults with long-term care settings to ensure that they meet the organization’s national standards of optimal care for people with dementia. The full report is available online: http://www.alzfdn. org/documents/ExcellenceinDesign_ Report.pdf. The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (www.alzfdn.org) is a national nonprofit organization that unites more than 1,700 member organizations nationwide with the goal of providing optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families. Perkins Eastman is among the top design and architecture firms in the world. ■

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
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.

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

alzheimer’s: the facts and figures alzheimer’s association report sheds new light on scope of disease According to the 2013 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia in the United States. The 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.

Human and Financial Toll of Alzheimer’s More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Without the development of medical breakthroughs that prevent, slow or stop the disease, by 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease could reach 13.8 million. Previous estimates suggest that number could be high as 16 million. 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 exac-

erbate as the disease progresses, the high levels of care required by family members and friends can often result in increased emotional stress and health challenges for caregivers. Due to the physical and emotional toll of caregiving, Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers had $9.1 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2012. The burden on the nation’s health care system and government programs is also enormous. According to Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures, the total payments for health and long-term care services for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias will total $203 billion in 2013, the lion’s share of which will be borne by Medicare and Medicaid with combined costs of $142 billion. Despite these staggering figures today, by 2050 total costs will increase 500 percent to $1.2 trillion. “Alzheimer’s disease steals everything — steadily, relentlessly, inevitably.

HOW TO
find hospice care
improving the quality of life remaining
A
patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. How Does One Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. How-
Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient.
ever, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or in-patient hospice residential settings. What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer short-term inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals.
How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little out-of-pocket expense.” To receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certifying that they are choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits. Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. In addition to Medicare’s coverage, hospice services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers.

understanding palliative care
©2013 The Washington Home & Community Hospices
Palliative care (pronounced PAHLEE-UH-TIVE) helps a person remain comfortable by addressing issues causing physical pain, emotional pain or suffering. Hospice programs have provided palliative care for the last thirty years. Currently, these programs serve more than 1.2 million patients and their families each year. Now, this very same approach to care is being used by other healthcare providers, including teams in hospitals, nursing
facilities and home health agencies. To palliate means to make comfortable by treating a person’s symptoms from an illness. The goals of palliative care are to improve the quality of a seriously ill person’s life, and to support that person and their family during and after treatment. Hospice focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting patients with a life expectancy of months, not years. However, palliative care may be given at any
time during a person’s illness, from diagnosis on. Most hospices have a set of defined services, team members, and rules and regulations. Some hospices provide palliative care as a separate program or service. Information adapted from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Web site. For more information, visit www.nhpco.org.

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

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.

Hospice R e a l-L i f e Story
B
everly Kitzinger was a woman with incredible faith and undeniable strength. The mother of five children, she was also an accomplished elementary school teacher, who taught in the Montgomery County school system for 27 years while raising her family. While her husband, Joe, was a devout Catholic, who raised all of their children Catholic, Beverly always found strength and solace in her beliefs as a Christian Scientist. That strength was both tested and proved when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “It was very difficult for my mother to go through with the surgery to remove the tumor, since Christian Scientists do not believe in disease or illness,” explained one of Beverly’s daughters, Patricia “Patty” Inman. “As part of their faith, they do not take medicine or seek modern medical treatments; they simply pray through illness.” Herself a breast cancer survivor, Patty helped convince her mother to have the surgery to remove the tumor. Beverly came
through the surgery and went on to become the caregiver for her beloved husband. After her husband passed away, she was just beginning to acclimate to her new life when she broke her arm and learned that her breast cancer had metastasized to her bones. “My mother’s faith gave her incredible strength, and we were able to manage her considerable pain for months with just low doses of pain reliever,” Patty recalled. However, when Beverly began to experience more extreme pain from the bone cancer, the family decided to turn to hospice services for help. “I asked a dear friend who is a home care nurse for a recommendation, and she suggested Jewish Social Service Agency (JSSA) Hospice,” Patty explained. JSSA, a Montgomery County hospice provider for more than 30 years, began working with the family shortly thereafter and remained in the home until Beverly passed away five months later. A social worker with JSSA coordinated
all of Beverly’s care, ensuring that all her physical, emotional and spiritual needs were met. They also made sure to check in on all the family members and provide support when it was needed, as well as constant updates on Beverly’s condition. “Everyone with JSSA was wonderful. My mom absolutely loved them. They were so kind and patient and gentle with her. She appreciated what they did and acknowledged their help and welcomed their support and care,” said Patty. The JSSA team included a nurse, an occupational therapist and a chaplain, in addition to the social worker. They all worked with Beverly’s in-home caregivers and her doctors to ensure that her pain was managed and that she was able to remain in her home surrounded by family. “Because of JSSA, my mother was able to enjoy the remainder of her life pain free,” Patty concluded. “Our family was her life and for her to be able to remain at home and not be in a sterile hospital environment was so important.”

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
Since 1989
25th Anniversary
would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of companion care providers are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available. HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exercises, housekeeping, laundry,
A
medication reminders and transportation. SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed by a physician and is administered by a registered nurse. The services provided by skilled nurses include: administering injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more. Finding a Provider After determining the type and amount of services needed along with payment options, consumers should begin interviewing potential providers. This is a highly important decision, since finding a qualified, reliable and compassionate individual is essential to the health and happiness of patients and their families.

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
Small valuables Irreplaceable or sentimental items Small family heirlooms

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

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

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

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

tions for a given locality.” Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United pointed out that making sure people are connected to each other is a great way to foster intergenerational reciprocity. “Communities that create opportunities for people of all ages improve the quality of life and strengthen the community. We’ve witnessed great success in those that understand how to use an intergenerational lens to develop and implement policies and programs for all generations,” she said. “As recently noted by the Mayo Clinic, ‘good friends are good for your health’ and a recent report by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) pointed out that those who volunteer tend to be more satisfied with their lives than those who don’t.”

Home Car e The tip sheet asserts that, in a livable community, policies and practices increase cooperation and interaction among the age groups. Livable communities provide services that allow individuals to survive and thrive. In a truly intergenerational community, residents of all ages have ample opportunity to share their expertise and resources, and to support each other and their community. Examples of some of the advice and policy suggestions in the publication are: • Housing – A program that supports the efforts of older people to keep living in their homes might engage groups of students to rake leaves, shovel snow and do light home repairs for older neighbors. Example: The Home Safety Program at the Volunteer Center of the Virginia Peninsula sends teens to visit older adults living independently. They perform a safety assessment and provide safety and disaster kits. • Transportation and Safe Neighborhoods – Transportation is a critical ser-
vice for all generations, especially those who are aging and must rely on light rail, buses, taxis and on-call vans. Neighborhoods can use volunteers to help older individuals learn how to take advantage of public transportation. Example: In Hesston, Kansas, older adults are utilized as crossing guards to help students cross busy intersections. In Chanute, Kansas, older volunteers greet students at the front door of their elementary, middle and high schools, and wish them a wonderful day at school, with a smile, handshake or high-five. • Health Care and Supportive Services – Livable communities require adequate medical facilities, trained medical personnel, community education, wellness programs, doctors and specialists. They also need support services for residents of all ages. Communities might create a shared space for residents of multiple generations to interact daily. Example: At the JEWEL Program in New York’s Westchester County, daily interactions
occur between children in day care and older adults in a non-residential day program. The older adults benefit from the center’s wellness activities, personal care, transportation and nutrition – and from the daily engagement with children. • General Retail and Services – Ideally, communities have stores to buy necessities, opportunities to purchase healthy foods, restaurants and community activities. Recognizing the importance of healthy eating and how it correlates to healthy and long lives, localities can connect children, teens and older adults through gardening and cooking. Example: At the Marion Street Intergenerational Garden in Washington, DC, gardeners of all ages create and participate in a gardening experience that has become an outdoor classroom for residents of all ages. • Social Integration – Communities can connect the generations to enhance each other’s lives and that of the larger comContinued on page 186

Example: The Allegheny County Library Association in Pennsylvania has held book clubs for high school students and older adults aimed at fostering intergenerational discussion and connections.

sustaining hope in the face of cancer n
By Deborah J. Cornwall
H
ope 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. 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. Some tips from caregivers:

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. Ultimately 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.

HOW TO
maximize social security benefits
Too many people end up getting less than what’s due to them from Social Security when they retire because they don’t know the rules and the real financial impacts, says independent retirement advisor and CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors Gary Marriage, Jr. “There’s a lot of talk about the future of Social Security, but we still have this benefit, and if you’re 50 or older, you should be planning to make the best use of it,” Marriage says.
will suddenly vanish, so they want to get what they can as quickly as possible – at age 62. But if you’re counting on those benefits as part of your income, you should wait until you’re eligible for the full amount. That’s age 66 if you were born between 1943-54, and age 67 if you were born in 1960 and later. The average retirement benefit in June of this year was 1,222.43, according to the Social Security Administration. People born in the 1943-54 group who Waiting May Be the Best are eligible for that amount at age 66 will Option get just $916.82 a month if they retire at Many people are understandably ea- 62.

efits – up to 8 percent a year – but there are no increases if you delay longer. Divorce May Not Eliminate Spousal Benefits If you are divorced, were you married for a decade and aren’t currently remarried? You may be eligible to receive benefits based on the former spouse’s work record. Here are some of the other requirements: you must be age 62 or older, and the former spouse must be entitled to receive his or her own benefits. If the former spouse is eligible for a benefit, but has not yet applied for it, the divorced spouse can still receive a benefit. Additionally, two years must pass after the divorce.

time to call 9-1-1 biological warnings many ignore Each year, about 600,000 Americans— one in four—in the United States die from heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Of the 715,000 Americans who have a heart attack each year, about 525,000 are first-timers, says the CDC, and those individuals may not know what’s happening. Sadly, many people do not get to the hospital on time, says paramedic Dale Hemstalk. “If someone is having a heart attack, for example, they should get to the hospital without delay upon the initial onset of symptoms,” says Hemstalk, who is also a software developer with Forté Holdings, Inc., a provider of health-care software that works closely with paramedics, emergency medical technicians and firefighters to speed delivery of medical services.
“We live in an age in which we should be taking greater advantage of our technology for health purposes - but you have to call for help first,” Hemstalk says. Here, he shares warning signs that it’s time dial 9-1-1. Symptoms for a heart attack Men and women frequently report different symptoms. Men tend to have the “classic” signs, such as pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest that goes away and comes back; pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck or arms; chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath. For women, symptoms tend to be back or jaw pain; difficulty breathing; nausea or dizziness; unexplainable anxiety or fa-

tigue; mild flu-like symptoms; and palpitations, cold sweats or dizziness. Triggers tend to be different between the sexes, too. In women, it’s often stress; in men, it’s physical exertion. Symptoms for a stroke There are clear, telltale characteristics of a stroke, including sagging on one side of the face, an arm that’s drifting down and garbled speech. But there are also more subtle signs from the onset, such as sudden numbness of one side of the body, including an arm, leg and part of the face; sudden confusion, trouble speaking and understanding; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden loss of balance; and sudden headache for no apparent reason. Risk factors include diabetes, tobacco use, Continued on page 192

hypertension, heart disease, a previous stroke, irregular heartbeat, obesity, high cholesterol and heavy alcohol use. Symptoms for heart failure This is not the same as a heart attack, which occurs when a vessel supplying the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients becomes completely blocked. Heart failure is a chronic condition where the heart can’t pump properly, which may be due to fluid in the lungs. Warning signs include shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen ankles, chest congestion and an overall limitation on activities. Just one of these symptoms may not be cause for alarm, but more than one certainly is. Risk factors include various heart problems, serious viral infections, drug or alcohol abuse, severe lung disease, and chemotherapy. “At no point should anyone be discouraged from calling 911; the bottom line is, if you feel it’s an emergency and you need to call 911, call 911,” Hemstalk says. “There are many reasons to seek assistance from emergency responders, and they are not limited to those that I’ve mentioned.”
Individuals should never ignore the biological warnings of heart attack, stroke or heart failure. It is best to call 9-1-1 immediately if a medical emergency is suspected.

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

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

number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was devel-
oped by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

sensors to monitor older adults’ health Technological advances have provided medical professionals with many devices and systems to collect and analyze patients’ health information, but many of these technologies do not share data with each other. The lack of streamlined information sharing creates inefficiencies and, potentially, inconsistencies in patient care. Now, University of Missouri researchers are working to develop an in-home health monitoring and alert system that streams patients’ individualized health information between homes and hospitals. The system’s ability to provide comprehensive health information could lead to better care for patients, as well as reduced costs for individuals and health systems. “Consider an elderly man who lives alone and falls and breaks his shoulder; when he falls, the system of sensors detects his fall and sends for help immediately,” said Marjorie Skubic, a professor of electrical and computer engineering in the MU College of Engineering. “Additionally, the physicians could evaluate video of the fall captured by the sensors to determine how the man fell or what led to the fall. The fall data also helps medical professionals educate the patient on how to prevent similar falls in the future.” Skubic said the technology she and
her colleagues are developing would give adult children and other caregivers peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are monitored and will receive help if needed. “In the system we’re developing, the home and hospital devices would be interconnected, which would allow more coordinated care with lower risk of complications,” Skubic said. “As patients transfer between care units, sensor data are automatically delivered to their bedsides by the integrated healthcare platform. When patients return home, the system continues to track their activity, behaviors and vital signs and sends alerts if health changes are detected.” Skubic and her colleagues have been working with sensor technologies for more than a decade and have successfully integrated video-game technology into residents’ rooms at assisted-care facilities. Sensors detect falls and walking patterns as well as pulse and respiration rate. Sensors also monitor how often individuals use the restroom, which may suggest whether someone is experiencing a urinary tract infection or stomach virus. Now, Skubic and her colleagues hope to make these sensor technologies available in elderly individuals’ homes so they can “age in place” and live longer, healthier lives independently. “These ‘smart home’ systems have
the potential to create tremendous cost savings for individuals and health care systems, especially if used throughout the country,” Skubic said. “The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation estimates that the United States spends $31 billion annually for preventable hospitalizations among adults, and many hospitalizations could be avoided through better integration and coordination of medical care. By streamlining the healthcare operation into a cohesive system, we will save costs, provide better care, and achieve improved health outcomes.” Skubic, along with her collaborator Julian Goldman of Harvard University and several other team members, presented their research on closed-loop health care June 11 in Washington, D.C., as part of the SmartAmerica Challenge Expo. Launched in December 2013, the SmartAmerica Challenge seeks to foster new collaborations, ideas and technologies that lead to new investments and jobs. More than 100 organizations from academia, industry and government form teams to demonstrate how cyberphysical systems—which join networks of sensors, controls and processors to create new capabilities—could improve transportation, emergency services, health care, security, resource conservation and delivery, manufacturing, and more.

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

learning for life Older adults are often encouraged to stay active and engaged to keep their minds sharp. But new research indicates that only certain activities—learning a mentally demanding skill like photography, for instance—are likely to improve cognitive functioning. These findings in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, reveal that less demanding activities, such as listening to classical music or completing word puzzles, probably won’t bring noticeable benefits to an aging mind. “It seems it is not enough just to get out and do something—it is important to get out and do something that is unfamiliar and mentally challenging,” says psychological scientist and lead researcher Denise Park of the University of Texas at Dallas. “When you are inside your comfort zone, you may be outside of the enhancement zone.”
For their study, Park and colleagues randomly assigned 221 adults, ages 60 to 90, to engage in a particular type of activity for 15 hours a week over the course of three months. At the end of three months, Park and colleagues found that the adults who were productively engaged in learning new skills showed improvements in memory compared to those who engaged in social activities or non-demanding mental activities at home. “The findings suggest that engagement alone is not enough,” says Park. Park and colleagues are planning on following up with the participants one year and five years down the road to see if the effects remain over the long term. The APS journal Psychological Science is the highest ranked empirical journal in psychology. For more information, please call 202-293-9300.
Older adults who productively engage in learning new skills may experience improvements in memory.

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.

senior identity theft is on the rise
I
dentity theft is one of the fastestgrowing crimes in the U.S. so it’s no surprise that it has remained the No. 1 complaint to the FTC for more than five years in a row. Although people in their early-to-late 20s are usually the ones who report the most identity theft complaints to the FTC, in the past three years there has been a shift in the age group who reported the most identity theft complaints — from people in their early-to-late 20s to people ages 50 and older.
theft protection service. The top service for adults 50+ is AARP Credit and Identity Theft Protection from TrustedID because it’s designed for people ages 50 and older and offers complete identity theft protection and credit report monitoring for any AARP member and their family members. The service offers both individual and family plans that range in price from $9.17/month to $24.99/month, depending on the plan and if you’d prefer to pay monthly or annually.
Although AARP Credit and Identity Theft Protection from TrustedID is the top service for adults 50+, there are still some other services that are great options for protecting yourself or a loved one. One of them is Identity Guard, which offers the most comprehensive identity theft protection and costs $14.99/month to protect one adult.
Information provided by Next Advisor. More information is available at http:// www.nextadvisor.com/identity_theft_protection_services/compare.php.
Why are adults 50+ targeted by identity thieves? There are a couple of reasons why adults 50+ may be targeted for identity theft. The main reason is that senior citizens usually have more money and assets, as opposed to someone who’s 20-something years old and just starting their career. Identity thieves know that they’ll be able to get cash from an unlucky victim, instead of stealing credit from a younger victim. Adults 50+ may also be targeted as victims of identity theft because they can sometimes be naive or trusting of strangers. What can I do to help protect myself or a loved one? Just because senior citizens are targeted by identity thieves, doesn’t mean they need to fall victim to the crime. In addition to the steps detailed in the infographic above, one of the best ways to protect yourself or a loved one from identity theft is to sign up for an identity

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

Home Car e 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 example, 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 well when they receive treatment, which can include an antidepressant, psychotherapy or both. A Pittsburgh Medical Center study found that 80 percent of seniors treated over a three-year period didn’t suffer recurrent bouts, while only 10 percent of those without treatment avoided relapse. There are treatment programs such as The Medical Team’s Journey Behavioral Health Program which can help patients and their caregivers in the comfort and familiarity of home. These programs provide a range of services and support tailored to the needs of individuals with a behavioral health diagnosis and can help them better manage their chronic medical conditions and cope with issues that may affect their ability to care for themselves. “Depression shouldn’t be considered an inevitable outcome of chronic medical conditions and aging,” reminded Knecht. If you or a loved one might be suffering from depression, talk with your doctor about treatment options.

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

HOW TO
prevent falls
accidents can be serious for seniors
A
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Understanding the Risks On both a national and a local level, the risk of falls is one of the largest, preventable medical challenges that seniors face. The statistics on falls and the injuries they cause are alarming. For instance: • In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries according to the CDC. • The 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. • 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). Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve bal-
ance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; weightbearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improvement all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider
adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options. Resources The CDC is partnering with several other government agencies to promote a national action plan to prevent falls, which includes research, state grant funding, evaluation projects and information projects. Education efforts have included the development of brochures, posters and a pocket guide for physicians. 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 fall risk assessment program targeting senior centers in the Northern Virginia area, and they plan to expand their work throughout the community. Information adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and the Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition’s Web sites.

H
.D. and Mary Kim both had long and successful careers as academics. When they retired, they decided to leave the east coast behind to enjoy the ample sunshine and warm weather that Arizona offered. However, settling in Arizona meant living far from their children and grandchildren. Two of the couple’s daughters live in the Washington, D.C. region, so they quickly found that they were making frequent trips to the area to spend time with their family. They have been traveling to the region every 2-3 months for the last 8 years. However, H.D., who has was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease more than 20 years ago, was starting to need some extra support with walking and other activities of daily living, making traveling more difficult. During a meeting with her long-term care insurance agent, Mary was surprised to learn that they were eligible for home care under their existing coverage. “I knew that he needed help, and my daughters were insistent that I needed some free time,” Mary recalled. “I was thrilled to learn that our insurance would cover some in-home care for my husband.” Having served as an in-home caregiver herself for several years after retiring from her academic job, Mary knew exactly what she was looking for in a caregiver. She explained, “A good
“H
aving Advanced Nursing and
Home Support’s help has made a huge difference in my lifestyle. Now I can do things during the day without worrying about leaving [my husband]. It also allows him to get around better and to continue to pursue his hobbies.” — Mary Kim caregiver has to be positive and able to focus on the individual client and meeting their specific needs in the environment they are currently in.” After arranging for care in Arizona, Mary started looking for providers in the D.C. area who could assist H.D. during their trips. After contacting Advanced Nursing & Home Support, she was immediately impressed. Advanced Nursing & Home Support is a 21-year old, locally owned and operated home health care agency providing a wide range of medical and non-medical services in Maryland and Washington D.C.
“Advanced responded to me right away, and they said they could arrange care for me the following week,” Mary remembered. “The next week when they came to interview with us, they brought someone out who could stay that very afternoon.” Advanced Nursing & Home Support’s high level of responsiveness has continued, according to Mary. “They are just so accommodating, and that really makes a difference,” she said. “If you are not happy with a caregiver for any reason, they immediately get you someone else, no questions asked.” Having care providers who are accommodating, responsive and qualified has made Mary and H.D.’s visits much more enjoyable. “Having Advanced Nursing and Home Support’s help has made a huge difference in my lifestyle. Now I can do things during the day without worrying about leaving him,” Mary said. “It also allows him to get around better and to continue to pursue his hobbies.” H.D.’s caregivers take him outside for a walk whenever weather permits, so he can get some much-needed exercise. They also help him continue to paint by preparing his paper, brushes and supplies. Perhaps most importantly, Advanced Nursing & Home Support has made it easier for the Kims to continue to visit their beloved children and grandchildren regularly.

advocating home care trade association promotes in-home care
T
he Maryland National Capital Homecare Association (MNCHA) is the only trade association for the home care sector in Maryland. It represents both non-profit and for-profit health care providers in Maryland and Washington, DC including: • Medicare-certified home health agencies, • Private duty agencies and registries, • Home medical equipment businesses, and • Related businesses that provide services to providers listed above.

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, I heard that Medicare covers a certain amount of inpatient hospital days within each benefit period. What is a benefit period? —Tobey
Dear Tobey, A benefit period is the way in which Medicare measures the use of inpatient hospital and skilled nursing facility (SNF) services. A benefit period is a period of time that begins the day you are admitted as an inpatient at a hospital or SNF. It ends the day you have been out of the hospital or SNF for 60 days in a row. If you have Original Medicare, the traditional Medicare program administered directly through the federal government, you or your supplemental insurance will need to meet a deductible for each benefit period. A deductible is the amount you pay out of your own pocket for covered health care services before Medicare Part A, the hospital insurance part of Medicare, begins to pay for your care. In 2014, the deductible for each benefit period is $1,216. This means that you must pay this amount before Medicare Part A will start to cover your inpatient hospital or SNF stay. For example, let’s say you were formally admitted into the hospital as a hospital inpatient on July 1. Your
benefit period begins on July 1, the day If you get your Medicare benefits you are formally admitted as a hospital through a Medicare Advantage plan, inpatient. You return home from the benefit periods will likely also be used hospital on July 15, but are readmitted to measure the use of inpatient hospital as an inpatient on August 15.

harles Doerrler grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania. He lived in the area for many years before moving to the Washington, D.C., region to work as a government contractor. Growing up near Lake Erie, Charles was actively involved in water sports. He even spent time scuba diving in the Lake. He also took an early interest in hypnosis. After teaching himself the technique, he would hypnotize his friends for fun. When Charles was only 15 years old, his father passed away. Following his father’s death, Charles immediately began working to put himself through school. He graduated from nearby Gannon College in 1961 with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Finance. Several years after graduating, Charles married Kay, who worked as a bookkeeper. The couple went on to have three children: Bob, Sally and Bill. Charles spent much of his children’s young lives attending

their sporting events and other activities. The family also enjoyed many wonderful vacations, including frequent trips to Hershey Park. Prior to retiring in 2002, Charles enjoyed a long and successful career as a government contractor with the highest
level of security clearance. While he found his career rewarding, retirement has given him more time to spend with his wife, children and seven grandchildren. When Charles started to experience some health problems, the family realized they needed help. They contacted LivHOME, a professional home care company serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. In addition to providing highly trained and qualified caregivers, LivHOME also provides care managers to coordinator care for every client.

marci’s medicare answers Continued from page 209
Dear Marci, I was in the hospital for about two days. My nurse told me that my stay in the hospital was considered to be an observation stay and that Medicare would pay for my stay differently than an inpatient hospital stay. What is an observation stay? —Nancy
Dear Nancy, An observation stay is an outpatient hospital stay. During this stay, you receive medical services that help the hospital doctor decide whether you should be admitted to the hospital as an inpatient or discharged from the hospital. For example, observation stays may occur if you go to the emergency room and a doctor has to monitor your symptoms. While the symptoms are monitored, the doctors decide whether you should be admitted or discharged. You are an outpatient during an observation stay even if you stay in the hospital overnight. While observation stays may seem like inpatient hospital stays, staying in the hospital overnight does not make you a hospital inpatient. You are only considered to be an inpatient if you have been formally admitted into the hospital as a hospital inpatient by a hospital doctor. If you have not been formally admitted into the hospital as an inpatient, you are considered an outpatient. In general, doctors will admit you as a hospital inpatient if they expect you will
need to stay at least two days overnight in the hospital. Medicare Part A, the hospital insurance part of Medicare, covers inpatient hospital stays. If you get your Medicare benefits through Original Medicare, the traditional Medicare program administered directly through the federal government, Part A covers most inpatient hospital care you receive during your stay. In general, you or your supplemental insurance plan pays a one-time deductible for your hospital stay. After you meet the decutible, you do not have to pay a copayment for the first 60 days of your inpatient hospital stay. Remember, a deductible is the amount you pay out of your own pocket for health care services you receive, before Medicare starts to pay for some of the cost of your care. A copayment, or copay, is the set amount you pay for care you receive, after Medicare pays for some of the cost of your care. On the other hand, Medicare Part B, the medical insurance part of Medicare, covers outpatient care, such as health care services you receive while you are under observation in the hospital. If you have Original Medicare, Part B covers outpatient services you receive. If you are under observation in the hospital, you typically pay a 20 percent coinsurance for each medical service you receive in the hospital after you have met your yearly Part B deductible. A coinsurance is the percentage amount you pay for care you receive, after Medicare pays for some of the cost of your care. If you get your Medicare benefits
through a Medicare Advantage plan, also known as a Medicare private health plan, different costs and rules may apply. Contact your plan directly to learn more about your plan’s coverage of hospital care. It is important to know whether you are considered to be a hospital inpatient or an outpatient since your Medicare costs and coverage may differ depending on your status because your costs may be higher if you are a hospital outpatient. If you are in the hospital, you or your family member should ask hospital staff whether you are an inpatient or an outpatient each day during your hospital stay, since this affects what you pay for hospital services. Keep in mind that whether you are an inpatient or outpatient can also affect whether you will qualify for Medicare coverage of skilled nursing facility care. If you have Original Medicare, Medicare will pay for skilled nursing facility care only if you have been in the hospital as a hospital inpatient for three nights in a row. Again, costs and rules may differ if you get your Medicare benefits through a Medicare Advantage plan. —Marci Marci’s Medicare Answers is a service of the Medicare Rights Center (www.medicarerights.org), the nation’s largest independent source of information and assistance for people with Medicare.

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

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland
A
ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “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.
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.
Residential Services Agencies (RSA)
RSAs provide supportive home care services, that is, assistance with ADLs and/or housekeeping services. They may provide one or more home care services, such as provision of oxygen or medical equipment, which includes wheelchairs, walkers and hospital beds. An RSA cannot participate in the Medicare Program; however, Level III RSAs can provide skilled nursing services. RSAs employ all their caregivers, while NRSAs do not. The person seeking assistance contracts with the agency. RSA services are sometimes paid for by the person using services, but are generally covered under long-term Nurse Referral Service Agencies (NRSA) care insurance policies and may be paid These agencies screen and refer licensed through medical insurance in some cirnurses, home health aides, homemakers, cumstances. live-in caretakers, and companions for individuals needing help in their home.

A person has a seven-month initial enrollment period that begins three months before their birthday month and ends three months after. During this initial enrollment period, a person can enroll in Original Medicare (Parts A&B), a prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D) or a Medicare Advantage plan. If a senior wants to enroll in a medigap (Medicare supplement insurance) policy, the open-enrollment period starts the first month the person is both 65 and enrolled in Part B, and lasts for 6 months.

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.

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 percent with a spouse, 18 percent in an institutional setting and 13 percent with parents or other relatives, while 11 percent 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
