You’ve got a friend at Chandler Hall Meet Esther, Ruth, Pearl and Jerome at their favorite table. To see Esther, Ruth, Pearl and Jerome together, you’d think they were lifelong friends. Actually, they are, even though the foursome only met when each came to Chandler Hall. The four discovered they had much in common and bonded over the beautifully-prepared meals in the community dining room. Like many Chandler Hall residents, they discussed different communities in the area with their children, before they decided that life here offered the most advantages. Community activities include bingo, yoga, exercise classes, movies on residence floors’ big screen TVs, trips on the community bus, performances, and much more. Still, one of the best reasons to come to Chandler Hall is 20

Beaumont: Don’t Just Retire… Start Living™
Exterior view of the new fitness and aquatic centers with the original mansion in the background
R
esidents don’t move to Beaumont at Bryn Mawr to simply curl up in a cozy corner – they expect to remain fully engaged while enjoying a luxurious retirement lifestyle. Many residents are still at the top of their professions or have leadership roles in area organizations. They are also fully involved in shaping the direction and management of the community. Beaumont is unique in this respect. It is the only topranked Continuing Care Retirement Community in the nation that is owned and governed by residents, and is internally managed. Residents, rather than an outside board or corporate manager, make decisions for the benefit of the community. Visitors to Beaumont immediately sense that there is no one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter look and feel to the community. Beaumont is situated on 50+ wooded and landscaped acres in the heart of Philadelphia’s Main Line – close to everything yet far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. The community was planned with the historic Austin Mansion as its central hub and social commons. The original details, from hand-painted murals to

intricately carved wooden lintels and mantles, have been fully restored and serve as the perfect complement to the modern, spacious apartments attached to the mansion and the free-standing villas beyond. “A pronounced shift in the definition of, and expectations from retirement is taking place,” said Joe Peduzzi, president of Beaumont. “Our newer residents, who really are the vanguard of the Baby Boom generation, demand more choices in lifestyle, amenities and services.” As a result, residents voted in 2013 to make a multimillion dollar investment in building brand-new fitness and aquatic facilities and further renovating parts of the mansion, including the Personal Care wing. “Residents decided it was time to raise the bar,” he added.
Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
Dr. Don Trachtenberg, chairman of Beaumont’s allresident Board of Directors, offered, “Fitness and wellness are paramount. That’s why we decided to build a state-ofthe-art exercise center with the most modern equipment, a large fitness room for Tai Chi, yoga and stretch classes, and construct a heated pool for both serious swimmers and less mobile residents…with dressing rooms and massage area to rival the best of clubs. And we did not neglect our many talented resident authors and artists – the project also included a brand new library and art wing.”
square feet. Resident involvement in planning, design and management was evident at every turn, including the financial aspects of the project. “It is remarkable,” Peduzzi said, “that residents voted to undertake this project in the first place. It really was a very forward-looking decision. Construction is messy, creates temporary inconveniences and the outcome may not directly benefit an individual resident. And much to the credit of Mr. Paier and the Finance Committee, we haven’t suffered the special assessments and financial fall-out that plague so many other communities when they undertake capital projects like this. Their careful and conservative financial management has resulted in a debt-free balance sheet and still makes living at Beaumont more affordable than at comparable CCRCs.” In typical Beaumont fashion, the hard hats were officially retired during a community-wide celebration, which was open to Main Line neighbors. Complete with delicious culinary creations by the executive chef and his staff, micro-brew and wine tastings, fitness demonstrations, hole-in-one and bocce ball competitions, the festive opening event marked a new phase for the Beaumont community.
A jazz concert in the mansion's spectacular Music Room
The mansion, with its spectacular music room and eight full-service dining rooms, saw the addition of a casual bistro and games room, and major renovations to the Personal Care area. “A bistro just made sense,” resident Alan Tripp, an active supporter of the project, said. “It gives us the option to meet friends over a beer, get a delicious late evening meal, or watch an important game on the big-screen. We also added a games room with a championship billiards and shuffleboard table.”
“It’s about offering choices,” Peduzzi continued. “Residents want to be independent while having a sense of community and belonging. They want to come and go as they please, dine where and when they please, and enjoy a superior lifestyle where everything is taken care of…including their health and well-being. At Beaumont, there is no lack of choice. It’s like being on a cruise…except you’re not stuck in the middle of the ocean.” With a smile he added, ”Don’t come to Beaumont to just retire, come here to start living.”
The second floor of the mansion, which houses the Nursing Care, Personal Care and Rehabilitation Care areas, was carefully renovated to accentuate the original architectural details while ensuring a modern and inviting care environment. “My wife was a geriatric nurse-practitioner and was very involved in bringing the physical environment and equipment up to the next level for our nursing staff and patients alike,” Dolf Paier, resident and Chair of Beaumont’s Finance Committee, added. Designed by RLPS Architects and managed by Warfel Construction, the total project comprised roughly 30,000

Making a Buzz By Christy Brudin
T
he saws hum. The drills purr. The hammers bang. The woodworkers are making a buzz again. In the Woodshop at White Horse Village, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Newtown Square, Pa., it is rarely quiet. Industrious woodworkers are going about their various tasks—from building shelves to handcrafting tables. Some of them are hobbyists, others professionals, but they all work for free and donate the proceeds of their efforts to the White Horse Village Endowment Fund or Residents’ Association. Most of the craftsmen’s philanthropic efforts benefit their beloved community and their fellow residents. Since its inception nearly 25 years ago, White Horse Village has been home to two woodshops, and carpentry continues to be a popular activity among residents. Although most of the participants are men, some female residents have gotten in on the action over the years. Today, most of the work going on in the wood shop is to benefit the White Horse Village Resident Reserve Fund. The woodshop has contributed more than $75,000 to the community through the years. The talented woodworkers are also always willing and able to lend a hand to a neighbor in need of a shelf or a furniture repair. While most of the projects benefit White Horse Village, the woodworkers have also taken on some interesting—and unusual—projects to help the larger community. For instance, several volunteer woodworkers have constructed bone boxes— boxes used by University of Pennsylvania medical students to hold bones from cadavers used for research. This past winter, the woodworkers partnered with Swarthmore College and Widener University to build Gamelan cabinets for Stetser Elementary School in Chester, Pa. A Gamelan is a set of traditional Indonesian instruments, and the custom cabinet was built to safely house the unique instruments. Over the years, the woodworkers have also helped with both preservation and environmental efforts. They constructed historic replicas of colonial water jugs and benches that are used at the Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation in Ridley Creek State Park, which is adjacent to the campus. Nearby Edgmont Township received custom cabinets to house their town’s archives. Finally, the woodworkers have been instrumental in the promotion of the statewide bluebird trail. Once an endangered species, bluebirds have returned to the east coast as a result of the efforts of various conservation groups. White Horse’s woodworkers have constructed and maintained 14 bluebird houses on campus. These houses keep the beautiful birds safe from predators, and are now monitored by a dedicated group of residents. The woodworkers also constructed and donated many bluebird houses to neighboring Ridley Creek State Park and Edgmont Township.

Even while taking on outside projects, the woodworkers are still always ready to help at home. Their efforts were essential to the recent renovations to the White Horse Village Clubhouse. With their help, the community was able to salvage and repair much of the existing wood furniture—saving thousands of dollars. The newly refinished benches and tables perfectly complement the beautiful new pieces that were purchased as part of the renovation. The woodworkers have also been essential to the growth and expansion of another White Horse Village institution— the Village Singers. An 80-member chorus, the Singers are the pride of the community, and they continue to grow in both numbers and professionalism. A major boost to their development came when a local chorus offered to donate their library of choral music to the Singers. While the group gratefully accepted the donation, they quickly realized that storing such a large volume of music would be a challenge. “We had all the music envelopes stacked in a helter-skelter fashion,” recalled Kay Stretton, co-director of the chorus. “After we received a donation to purchase wood and supplies, two master craftsmen from the Woodshop volunteered to design and build a superb library, with floor to ceiling shelves, a builtin desk, and a work table, which were then painted by their colleague. The result was spectacular!” One project that never seems to end is the woodshop’s work for Octofair, the Resident Association’s largest annual fund-

raising event. The money raised during Octofair covers programs and activities for the following year; last year, the event raised more than $20,000. Throughout the year, the woodworkers make crafts, toys and gifts to sell at the fair. They also create an intricate dollhouse every year for the accompanying auction. The house is completely furnished and every room is painted, wall papered and carpeted. The projects the woodworkers take on for White Horse Village and the surrounding community are seemingly endless. The dedicated craftsmen are already preparing for Octofair 2015. These talented and generous individuals have become such an essential part of the community that nearly every day someone at White Horse Village says, “Ask the woodshop; they can fix it!” And they do. And that’s what all the buzz is about.

unwoody Village offers a wide variety of exceptional living options in a picturesque, wooded setting close to the cultural attractions of Philadelphia. Fourteen acres of our established community have been set aside for our new Penrose Carriage Homes.

The twin-style homes, ranging in size from 2,100 to 4,100 square feet, feature open floor plans, gourmet kitchens, two-car garages, mudrooms, gas cooking and gas fireplaces. A variety of designs, all with two bedrooms, two and one-half baths and dens, as well as covered terraces, may be customized to suit your needs and wishes. High-end finishes such as granite countertops and stainless appliances are standard. Maintenance, landscaping and weekly housekeeping complete the picture. These homes offer single-level living with all the comforts of home but none of the chores! With a forty year tradition of serving seniors, Dunwoody provides the stability of a strong financial position as a notfor-profit community. A selection of three financial options gives you the ability to choose a payment plan that best suits your situation. Life care assures that you have access to Dunwoody’s highly regarded on-site healthcare center at little or no increase in cost, should your needs change. An emergency call system, 24/7 security, and a community-wide generator give you – and your family – valuable peace of mind. Penrose Carriage Home residents have access to the varied amenities and services enjoyed by all Dunwoody residents. Multiple dining venues mean that you have the choice of restaurant-style waited service, an evening buffet or takeout options.

Five Simple Tips to Reduce Your Fall Risk n
By Timothy J. Clark, DPT, MS, MBA, Physical Therapist, Senior Director, Operations Support, Nazareth Hospital
As you age, your risk of falling increases. Maintaining good balance and stability depends on important pieces of information received by your brain from the eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs (inner ears). If your balance system isn’t working correctly, it could greatly affect how you walk. Certain conditions and illnesses can also put you at a greater risk of falls, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke and ear infections. But don’t worry, your balance can be strengthened to reduce your risk of falls. You can also reduce your risk of falling by following these simple tips: Make Simple Lifestyle Changes Weak legs and poor balance can increase your risk of falling. Quick and easy weight-bearing exercises can help keep you and your bones healthy and strong. If you’re unable to walk or stand easily, your doctor may refer you to programs that can build your strength and improve your functional mobility. Nutrition and hydration can also make a difference to your balance. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Know the Side Effects of Your Medications If your medications make you dizzy or drowsy, be sure to tell your doctor right away. Your physician may be able to find a solution for those side effects. Have Your Vision Checked Regularly Seeing clearly is essential to helping you get around safely. If you are having difficulties with your vision, you need to address it immediately. Make sure your glasses or contact lenses are the right strength for you. Make Your Home a Safe Place to Live Look around your house to see if there are any hazards that could cause you to fall. The most common household fall-related injuries are caused by clutter, poor lighting and small area rugs. To reduce your risk of falling in the bathroom, use non-slip mats and have grab bars installed. Additional lights and brighter light bulbs can help brighten up a dark room. Find Comfortable Shoes Wearing comfortable, sturdy shoes that have non-slip soles are key to preventing falls. Many fall-related injuries happen when people wear poorfitting shoes, flip flops or slippers, or walk around barefoot. These small changes can have a big impact on your balance and help you walk without fear. The Nazareth Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance can help determine the cause of your dizziness and provide strategies to help decrease the symptoms and improve your balance. The Balance Program is located at Nazareth Hospital Outpatient Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance at 8113 Roosevelt Blvd. (Holme Avenue and the Boulevard). For more information, call 215.335.3954. 54

Understanding Arthritis How Joint Pain Impacts Daily Life
T
he number of adults with arthritis is rising by about 1 million people each year, according to a 2013 government report. The report reaffirms previous predictions that cases of arthritis would rise rapidly with the aging of the population. However, the impact of arthritis on activity limitations is exceeding previous estimates, says the Arthritis Foundation. “The sharp rise in activity limitations is alarming,” says Arthritis Foundation President and CEO, Ann M. Palmer. “More people are hurting when they walk and climb the stairs, and they may be curbing activities they love due to severe pain and limited mobility caused by the disease. We must reverse this trend by investing more dollars in research to find a cure for arthritis and providing health intervention programs to help people be more active today.” A Growing Problem According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study published in the Nov. 8, 2013, issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, arthritis affects the daily activities of about 23 million adults, up from 21 million during 20072009, and not far from the projection of 25 million that wasn’t expected until 2030. The report also confirms the disease is common, impacting about 23 percent of the adult population. The report shows that the number of adults with doctordiagnosed arthritis climbed from roughly 50 million to 53 million over the last three years. Arthritis also carries a heavy financial burden, costing the U.S. economy $128 billion annually. “The number of U.S. adults with arthritis is increasing. This amounts to an average increase of approximately 2,400 individuals per day,” says Dr. Wayne H. Giles, Director of the Division of Population Health at the CDC.

What is Osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic condition of the joints. Although it occurs in people of all ages, osteoarthritis is most common in people older than 65. OA causes a breakdown in the cartilage covering the ends of bones where they meet to form a joint and allow movement. As the cartilage wears away, the bones become exposed and rub against each other. The deterioration of cartilage also affects the shape and makeup of the joint, so that it no longer functions smoothly. What Are the Symptoms of OA? Symptoms of OA vary, depending on which joints are affected and how severely they are affected. However, the most common symptoms are stiffness, particularly first thing in the morning or after resting, and pain. The most commonly affected joints are the lower back, hips, knees and feet. When those joints are affected you may have difficulty with such activities as walking, climbing stairs and lifting objects. Other commonly affected joints are the neck and fingers, including the thumb base. When finger and hand joints are affected, osteoarthritis can make it difficult to grasp and hold objects, such as a pencil, or to do delicate tasks, such as needlework. How is OA treated? There is no cure for osteoarthritis, but there are medications to help relieve pain, when needed. The doctor may recommend physical therapy (PT) or occupational therapy (OT) to help improve strength and function. When pain is severe and frequent or mobility and daily activities become difficult, surgery may be considered.

The Impact of Arthritis Arthritis impacts the daily activities of: • Roughly one in 10 adults in the U.S. • Nearly half of all adults with arthritis. • More than 15 percent of obese adults. • More than a quarter of adults with heart disease or diabetes. Arthritis commonly co-occurs with obesity, heart disease and diabetes: • Half of all adults with heart disease or diabetes have arthritis. • One-third of obese adults have arthritis. — Findings by CDC Information adapted from The Arthritis Foundation (www. arthritis.org). The Foundation is committed to raising awareness and reducing the unacceptable impact of this serious and painful disease, which can severely damage joints and rob people of living life to its fullest.
FAREWELL KNEE PAIN New FDA Approved Treatment Proven to Relieve Knee Pain HAS KNEE PAIN BROUGHT YOU TO YOUR KNEES? END YOUR SUFFERING! Chronic pain can be excruciating and millions of people suffer just like you do, every single day. And just like you, others have spent years looking for answers about how to deal with extreme knee pain that stems from arthritis, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and other sources. Physicians have spent years trying to find ways to relieve their patient’s pain. And pharmaceutical companies have also spent years looking for better ways to mask the pain. Premier Osteoarthritis Centers of Pennsylvania has found a natural way to eliminate your daily suffering and chronic knee pain. This FDA approved treatment can get you back to living an active lifestyle WITHOUT surgery and the endless trial and error cycle of trying different pain medications. The results can be felt almost immediately, as quickly as the time it takes to make a call to Premier Osteoarthritis Centers of Pennsylvania for your RISK FREE consultation.
If You Consider Surgery, Consider This! Here are the facts to take into consideration about knee replacement surgery: • Surgery is costly, regardless of the percentage of services covered by insurance. • Surgery requires lost time from work and typically requires a regimen of rehabilitation and medications. • With surgery, there is always a risk for unwelcomed complications. And you could be back to where you started. • Medications will be required for relief from surgery and you have been down that road before. Potentially, addictions to these pain medications can cause potential side effects, something you do not want to experience. • Rehabilitation can take years.
It’s Time To Consider The Alternative
Premier Osteoarthritis Centers of Pennsylvania offers you a real opportunity and a painless way to say goodbye to your knee pain without any surgery. What are the important things you should consider? • No lost time at work • No high costs for rehabilitation • No possible addictive consequences of medication • FDA approved treatment covered by most insurance plans and Medicare • Recovery time is almost instantly, not months or years
What Is This New Treatment? Relief begins with a simple injection that causes little to no pain at all, especially compared to the pain you have been feeling on a daily basis. Through the use of fluoroscopic guidance, Premier Osteoarthritis Centers of Pennsylvania pinpoints the exact location of the pain within your knee. A synthetic synovial fluid, consisting of a carbohydrate substance already produced by your body within your joints, is then injected into the targeted area. Once inside, the synovial fluid immediately goes to work reducing the swelling and inflammation in the joint and adds a coated layer of protection. You will begin to feel immediate relief and be on your road to recovery almost instantly. It is that simple, it is fast, and no surgery is required!
Will My Insurance Cover Treatment Costs? More than likely, YES! Most major insurance companies recognize the benefits of this treatment and will pay some treatment costs, if not all costs for the services offered at Premier Osteoarthritis Centers of Pennsylvania. And YES, Medicare will pay at least some, if not all of the costs for this FDA approved treatment. Premier Osteoarthritis Centers of Pennsylvania will be happy to inquire and assist you with your insurance coverage.
Is This New Treatment Right For Me? If you suffer knee pain due to arthritis, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, or other conditions, the answer is YES! If knee placement surgery, possible surgery complications, and the downsides to surgery are of any concern, then the answer is YES. If medications have not worked and you fear their potential addictive qualities, the answer is YES.

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

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. Probate Probate laws, practice 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 consid-
ered. 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 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 speContinued on page 63

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions
T
he most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Whether you get a referral or try someone new, keep your opinions open to change. A friend may have had a good experience, but your case is different and you need to decide for yourself. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the at-
torney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs as well as the attorney’s billing methods. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue and are there alternative courses of action? n What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? n How many attorneys are in the office and who will handle your case? n How long has the attorney been practicing? n What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of elder law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like or similar to yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? If not, who will go to trial for you? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys?

n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n Are fees computed on a flat or hourly rate and how often does the attorney bill? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred (such as copying, postage, court, messenger and phone fees)? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n Will the attorney require a retainer (money placed in a trust account before services are rendered)?

WHY DO I NEED A WILL? By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA) You worked all your life to provide for your family and prepare a “nest egg” for retirement. Therefore, a question frequently asked is, “What can I do to ensure my family is taken care of when I die?” The answer is – prepare your Will. WHAT IS A WILL? A Will is a written legal document which permits you to control the disposition of your assets after death. It lets you decide who will receive your assets upon your death. If you die without a Will, the court will distribute your assets according to Pennsylvania law, which may not be your preference. APPOINTING AN EXECUTOR The executor is the person who is responsible for administering your estate after your death and ensures your assets are distributed according to your Will. Without a Will, the court will appoint one of your heirs executor, perhaps someone not of your choice. WILL MY ESTATE PAY LESS IN TAXES? Your estate may pay less in death taxes with a properly prepared Will. Currently, estates valued at $5,430,000 are subject to federal estate tax. CAN A WILL HELP PROTECT MY MINOR CHILD WHEN I DIE? A Will permits you to choose the person(s) who serves as your child’s guardian and trustee. Without a Will, the court will appoint the guardian and trustee for your child. DOES A WILL CONTROL THE DISPOSITION OF MY JOINT BANK ACCOUNT? No. If at the time of your death, you own an asset which is titled jointly with another individual, upon your death, title to that asset will pass solely to the surviving joint owner by law. DOES A WILL CONTROL THE DISPOSITION OF MY LIFE INSURANCE? In most cases, you designate a beneficiary to receive the proceeds of your life insurance upon your death. The proceeds pass directly to the designated beneficiary, and are not controlled by the provision of your will. A Will permits the transfer of assets to your heirs after your death to proceed smoothly without added stress and confusion.
Don’t Delay! Act Now to Protect Your Family’s Future.

James Gandolfini’s Will: 3 Lessons for You and Yours
W
hen Sopranos star James Gandolfini died unexpectedly at the young age of 51, his estate plan sparked a media firestorm. What led to this flurry of attention? The fact that he left behind a Will, which made his estate planning choices public record. What can we learn from James Gandolfini’s Will? Here are three lessons you can apply as you consider your estate planning options. 1.Your Privacy (And Your Family’s): No one would be debating the details of Mr. Gandolfini’s estate planning choices if he had not used a Will. All Wills become a matter of public record, meaning anyone can access them. Filing a Will in probate court means that our personal and financial affairs are made available to jealous relatives, nosy neighbors, and even con artists and financial predators. These are the last things grieving family members should have to deal with. How can you keep your estate plan private? You can use a Trust. Unlike Wills, Trusts do not have to go through probate. 2.Don’t Forget Taxes: Rather than leaving all of his assets to his wife, Mr. Gandolfini left much of his property to his two sisters and his infant daughter,
which prompted some experts to label his Will an “estate tax disaster.” Here’s why: when you leave assets in excess of the current $5.43 million estate tax exclusion to your spouse (or to charity), the money is tax exempt. When you leave these assets to other beneficiaries, they are subject to the estate tax. In Mr. Gandolfini’s case, the bulk of his estate went to his daughter and his two sisters and will be taxed at a rate of 40 percent. There is one thing Mr. Gandolfini could have done to reduce the overall tax burden on his assets. He could have left his property to his sisters in a Trust, rather than outright. With an outright bequest, the assets are taxed twice: now and when his sisters die. You may not have millions of dollars to leave to your beneficiaries, but you should discuss Trust planning with your estate planning attorney. Trusts can offer tax advantages, creditor and divorce protection, and help to avoid probate and related expenses.
young adults, but think back to when you were 21 years old. What would you have done with unfettered access to millions of dollars? Would you want your children or grandchildren to have control over large sums of money at such a young age? Children’s inheritances don’t have to be turned over to them when they reach 18 or 21. You can design a Trust that provides for funds to be released incrementally as a child progresses into adulthood or as a child attains educational or other goals. Alternatively, you can design a Trust that protects a child’s inheritance for life. As you create your estate plan, think carefully about your children’s personalities, their level of maturity, and their relationship with money. Then work with your estate planning attorney to establish a Trust that meets your children’s needs. You don’t have to be a multi-millionaire to benefit from a well-thought-out estate plan. An experienced estate planning attorney can help you make the 3.Know Your Children: Mr. Gandolfini most of your assets and establish a plan left 20 percent of his residual estate to that protects your loved ones long after his baby daughter Liliana.

cific 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 unbiased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with a complete plan for caring for yourself or a loved one, transferring assets, and carrying out all of a clients’ wishes. In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. 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.

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

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

older adult housing market remains strong rising home values prompts sales
T
he fourth quarter results of the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) latest 55+ Housing Market Index (HMI) released in February 2015 show that builders are feeling quite positive about the market. All segments of the market—single-family homes, condominiums and multifamily rental—registered increases compared to the same quarter a year ago. The single-family index increased six points to a level of 54, which is the highest fourth-quarter reading since the inception of the index in 2008 and the 13th consecutive quarter of year-overyear improvements. “Over the past several years, we have seen demand for 55+ housing explode,” said Timothy McCarthy, chairman of NAHB’s 50+ Housing Council and managing partner of Traditions of America in Radnor, Pa. “While this growth in sales is welcome, many builders are challenged to ramp up home production to fill new home orders.” There are separate 55+ HMIs for two segments of the 55+ housing market: single-family homes and multifamily condominiums. Each 55+ HMI measures builder sentiment based on a survey that asks if current sales, prospective buyer traffic and anticipated six-month sales for that market are good, fair or

poor (high, average or low for traffic). An index number below 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as poor than good. All components of the 55+ singlefamily HMI posted increases from a year ago: present sales increased five points to 58, expected sales for the next six months rose two points to 64 and traffic of prospective buyers increased
six points to 39. The 55+ multifamily condo HMI posted a five-point gain to a reading of 40, which is also the highest fourthquarter reading since the inception of the index. All components of the index increased for the fourth quarter: present sales rose five points to 42, expected sales for the next six months climbed five points to 45 and traffic of prospective buyers increased three points to 33. The indices tracking production and demand of 55+ multifamily rentals posted record year-over-year readings in the fourth quarter. Present production rose five points to 48, expected future production increased five points to 51, current demand for existing units climbed 10 points to 64 and future demand jumped 11 points to 66. “The strength of the 55+ segment of the housing industry has been fueled in part by rising home values,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “Older home owners are finding it easier to sell their existing homes at a favorable price, allowing them to rent or buy a new home in a 55+ community.” The National Association of Home Builders is a Washington-based trade association representing professionals involved in all aspects of residential and light commercial construction.

transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices Preparing 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 Continued on page 68

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 Two: Packing and sorting Items should be sorted into distinct categories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away.

HOW TO
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it
W
ith the complex maze of resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved one are primary candidates for geriatric care managers. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropriate without causing undo stress. Instead of waiting for a crisis situation, you may want to turn to a GCM earlier, so that there are more options available. How Much Will It Cost? As fees for a GCM range, you should
check with your Medicare office to see if you are eligible for subsidies. The average time required by a client is four hours. After spending a couple of hours completing a comprehensive evaluation, the GCM spends a few more hours researching and discussing available options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan. What Can a GCM Do for Me? COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. Utilizing their professional backgrounds and experience, care managers are able to perform an unbiased evaluation of the client’s mental, physical, social, financial and legal functioning. RECOMMENDATIONS. After determining what services would be helpful for the well-being of the individual, the GCM can recommend providers who will best meet the family’s needs. Familiar with industry standards, they routinely make recommendations for all levels of care. COUNSELING. The counseling that GCMs can provide helps clients and their families handle the emotional stress involved with these decisions. They provide the family with information about the illness or challenge that the client faces and the available resources.
MEDIATION. GCMs can also negotiate family dynamics, helping to sort out all of the various concerns that have resulted from the challenge of caring for a loved one. FOLLOW-UP VISITS. GCMs are generally involved in the implementation of the care plan. This typically includes follow-up visits to the individual’s home or facility a couple of times a week shortly after implementation and quarterly thereafter. Some clients are visited once a week for the duration of their services. Follow-up visits also allow the GCM to determine whether the current care services are working.
How do I Choose a GCM? When considering a GCM, be sure to take into account their professional standing, as well as their personality and how comfortable they make their clients. Although there is no official licensure process for care managers, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as referrals for GCMs can be accessed through www.caremanager.org.

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.
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 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
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. Seeking Assistance Employee Assistance Programs, often known as EAPs, are a service put in place by most mid-sized and large employers. These programs usually have resources available to help both employees and their families through elder care challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.

costs for a care manager According to the National Association outside professionals are called into the of Professional Geriatric Care Managers’ case. It is imperative that the GCM re(NAPGCM) website, there are many dif- ceives approval to bring others in before ferent 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 and 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
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.

supplementing your medicare coverage n
By Susan Morisato

edicare is a vital part of the health insurance portfolio for millions of Americans, including baby boomers who are aging into the Medicare program at the rate of 10,000 a day. As boomers review their options for how they can receive their Medicare coverage, they’ll discover that they’ll need to find ways to pay for the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare (Parts A and B) doesn’t cover, such as deductibles, copays and coinsurance. Medicare supplement insurance can help boomers and other beneficiaries limit and more accurately predict their out-ofpocket costs, giving them peace of mind in the event of an unexpected medical issue. Boomers who decide that a Medicare supplement is right for them should consider

you age, so it’s important to ask the company about their rate increase history for the plan you are considering. Lastly, see what “extras” may be offered to you by the provider if you enroll in their plan. While companies cannot alter the federally mandated benefits of Medicare supplement plans, they can offer you additional value-added features, such as free or discounted access to certain health and well-being services. Your Health Status You’ll also want to consider the potential difficulty of enrolling in the plan you want. Some Medicare supplement carriers underwrite all of their plans, while others underwrite only a select few. If a plan is underwritten, the status of your health at the time of enrollment is used to determine your eligibility for the plan and may also affect your rate. The best time to purchase a Medicare supplement plan is during your open enrollment period, which is the six-month period beginning on the first day of the month in which you are both age 65 or

older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. If you apply for a Medicare supplement plan during this window, your acceptance is guaranteed into the plan of your choice, regardless of your health status. If you are enrolled or planning to enroll in both Medicare Parts A and B when you turn 65, you can apply for a Medicare supplement policy up to three months prior to your 65th birthday.

HOW TO
be a balanced caregiver
C n
By Jody Gastfriend, LICSW
aring for a parent, grandparent, spouse or loved one has its challenges and rewards. It can be gratifying as well as frustrating, with no clear roadmap on how to proceed. More than 65 million people in the United States care for a parent or disabled adult, and of those caregivers, more than a third still have minor children living at home. Middle-aged adults may find themselves sandwiched between limit testing teenagers, pushing for more independence, and aging parents, who want to hold onto the independence they still have. Is there a way for caregivers, whether you are a daughter, son, spouse or partner, to juggle it all without feeling depleted and guilt-ridden? The answer is yes, but it takes time, patience, forethought and compassion – for yourself as well as everyone else.
Sometimes, the best thing a caregiver can do is to take a step back, breathe deeply and evaluate their routine. Consider how caregiving rituals can be handled more effectively, without abandoning career, family and other aspects of life. Here are few things to consider:
you often get better participation in making the change. Rarely are plans made in just one conversation. It may be a series of conversations, lasting months or even years. Be patient and recognize that your loved one has the right to make decisions, even if you think they are bad ones.
1. Have conversations early and often. Unless your loved ones are completely incapacitated, you must include them in discussions about their care and accommodations. Approach decision-making from a place of love and respect. Many caregivers get frustrated by their parent or grandparent’s resistance to help. But that resistance may be a need to exert some control, especially at a time when things feel out of control. If you can help them understand why you feel they need a home health aide, a certain medical specialist, a safety-related home renovation or even a new domicile,
2. Talk about money. Nobody likes to talk about money, but it simply must be done. When it comes to eldercare, finances determine options. Do your parents or grandparents have long-term care insurance? Do they have savings to liquidate or assets they’re willing to sell? (The family home may be non-negotiable, but what about the car your senior relatives no longer drive?) What kind of care and services can they afford? Keep in mind that home care costs around $20/hour and Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care in a nursing home— Continued on page 82

which averages over $80,000 a year. If you’ve been operating on the assumption that long-term decisions can be made “when the time comes,” you may be in for a harsh dose of reality. There’s no point in spinning your wheels, going over choices that just aren’t viable for your family. 3. Don’t try to do it all. In many cases, a nearby family member, perhaps you, will take on caretaking duties, thinking you can or should be able to handle it all. Plus, Mom really trusts and relies on you and wouldn’t feel comfortable with a stranger in the home. Things may go along fine for a while, but as the picture turns more complicated, you may quickly become overwhelmed and ineffective. Go ahead and step up if you’re the one who lives closest or has the most time or financial wherewithal to deal with an initial crisis. But then, assess the situation and quickly marshal your resources. Call a family meeting—via Skype, if need be—and find out what other family members are willing and able to do. 4. 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.
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.
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 Jody Gastfriend, LICSW, is the VP of company, sometimes variety can spice up life. Many colleges and schools of social Senior Care for Care.com.

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, from 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. Some participants were assigned to learn a new skill — digital photography, quilting, or both — which required active engagement and tapped working memory, long-term memory and other high-level cognitive processes.
Other participants were instructed to engage in more familiar activities at home, such as listening to classical music and completing word puzzles. And, to account for the possible influence of social contact, some participants were assigned to a social group that included social interactions, field trips and entertainment. 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.

to spend the winter regrouping after several devastating losses. However, no sooner were Washington’s stone headquarters completed than the troops began to suffer the ravages of hunger and disease, all while battling the assaulting forces of nature. Today, visitors can explore Washington’s restored headquarters and see the National Memorial Arch. An interactive exhibit on Washington is also featured, as well as replica log huts and monuments to the soldiers’ immense sacrifices. Many visitors enjoy the park’s bucolic setting as much as its historic significance. Valley Forge features rolling hillsides and sparkling streams. Springtime in the park brings an explosion of blooms, from dogwoods to mountain laurel. In the fall, visitors will delight in the beautiful colors of the season. Trace Washington’s journey to Valley Forge back in time at the Peter Wentz Farmstead, a preserved 18th century German-American family farm. Washington is rumored to have stayed in the farmhouse prior to the battle of Germantown. Washington’s tremendous impact on the region is

Always a Teacher By Christy Brudin
T
eaching is not just a job, or even a profession. For the great practitioners of the trade, teaching is a calling—a calling to learn, to educate, and above all, to inspire. Charles “Charlie” Scanzello heeded the call to the classroom early. He became a Professor of Music at Kutztown University in 1970. Today, his classes are smaller and less formal, but no less inspired. Now a resident at The Oaks, a senior living community specializing in memory impairment operated by Genesis HealthCare, Charlie leads both music and poetry classes for his fellow residents. Located on the outskirts of Philadelphia in Wyncote, Pa., The Oaks offers secured dementia care in a nurturing, home-like environment. As part of the Genesis HealthCare network, The Oaks is backed by the largest long-term care provider in the United States. Charlie had a long and successful career at Kutztown University from 1970 to 1996. After retiring, he had more time to devote to writing poetry, and he has always been eager to share his talents. “He is always playing or writing,” said his wife, Angela Scanzello. “Charlie has always been a performer, and he just loved being in the classroom, and he loves having an audience now at The Oaks.” Charlie and Angela Scanzello met on a blind date set up by his brother-in-law. The young couple visited an exhibit on Italian commercial art at the University of Pennsylvania. That blind date led to a brief courtship and a long marriage.

Suburban Square, which opened in 1928, was the one of the earliest official shopping centers in the United States. Catering to the wealthy Main Line residents with luxury goods, it included the first suburban location of the Strawbridge & Clothier department store and put Montgomery County’s Ardmore on the retail map. Today, the open-air center draws people with its upscale stores, great restaurants, farmers’ market and seasonal events.

HOW TO
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving
F
or those unfamiliar with available living options, the image of the “senior community” may need a serious makeover. Many individuals still think of retirement communities as dreary “facilities” with an institutional feel. This could not be further from the truth today. Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice. In fact, individuals often choose to move into an active adult community as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. The amenity filled communities are often adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities. Not Just Active, but Pro-Active Active Adult community residents say they are making the move because they want to enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle, not because of deteriorating health. Simply put, it is their choice. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several active adult residences are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. This continuum of care allows active adults to make the most of the present while planning for the future. Gaining Independence Active adult communities often have a full range of entertainment options, and most of the costs are included in the living fees. They are ideal for retirees, but are not limited to those who have stopped working. Many residents continue to put in hours at work, while others fully explore long-lost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenancefree yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with fa-

Active Adult communities seek to meet the needs of Baby Boomers by providing environments in which individuals can enjoy the many amenities of a community lifestyle.
vorite hobbies and group activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. Instead of navigating traffic when going to the gym or beauty shop, residents can often walk a few blocks to an on-site facility. There is also something to be said for having an elegant dining room in the community, although cooking in one’s private residence is still an option. What to Look For You can start by requesting an information packet from every active adult community you are considering. Make sure to read it carefully, and keep them all organized in a folder or file cabinet. Once you have narrowed down your

options by perusing the brochures, schedule a visit to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. If you attended college or had to consider employment in a new area, remember the criteria you used in making that decision. This is no different. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

said during their formative years,” said Sandra Timmermann, Ed.D., director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute. “They are poised to remain active and engaged. As their nests empty, they seem to be largely feeling healthy and positive. On the negative side, a good half of this group may not have achieved their retirement savings goals and are not confident about paying for the next phase of their lives.” Among further findings: • 86 percent are collecting Social Security benefits; 43 percent began collecting earlier than they had planned. • Only 14 percent of the oldest Boomers are working part-time or seasonally; 4 percent are self-employed. • Long-term care rose to the top of the list of retirement concerns; 31 percent reported concern about providing for themselves or their spouses. • Despite the fact that they are worried about long-term care, just under a quarter owns private long-term care insurance. • 82 percent want to age in place and do not plan any future moves.

Nearly a quarter of those are optimistic about their health, and two in 10 feel good about their personal finances. • More than half of the oldest Boomers feel their generation is leaving a positive legacy for future generations. Values and morals and good work ethic were the top two items cited.
Instead of “working ‘till they drop” as predicted, the oldest Baby Boomers are enjoying all that retirement living has to offer by remaining active and engaged.

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

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

A few weeks later, with the help of a master carver, these same residents now find themselves wondering if their work is worthy of a prize. Learning to whittle away doubt while honing new skills – one more way that Shannondell residents are living more inspired.

R e a l-L i f e Story
G
ary and Susan, both retired educators, moved from Doylestown, PA to Cornwall Manor Retirement Community in Lebanon County in 2013. “After being involved with both family and friends who waited too long and then were too overwhelmed to make plans and decisions, we knew we wanted to make a different choice and move right after we retired. We investigated a number of options, but Cornwall Manor stood out as the best. Once we decided on Cornwall Manor, we were anxious to move in and that proved to be one of our best decisions. The sense of freedom in living here is so refreshing. Our home is perfect for us and the people, both residents and staff, are consistently wonderful. There are many different programs, activities and volunteer opportunities from which to choose.
Gary & Susan Bitner in their Woods Home at Cornwall Manor
We can be as active (or inactive) as we want. Our children are happy for us. We were committed to the move, but
living at Cornwall Manor has far exceeded our expectations.” The Bitners moved so they could enjoy the opportunities available to them at Cornwall Manor (Gary is a runner and enjoys the wooded trails, and Susan volunteers for a variety of activities.) Cornwall Manor has a variety of lifestyle options on our beautiful 200 acre campus – from new homes at The Woods and new Carriage House apartments to single and duplex homes and apartments on the Buckingham Campus. And if health care is ever needed, there is a Visiting Physicians Office, home health care, outpatient therapy, personal care and a skilled nursing center for short-term rehab and long term needs. Cornwall Manor residents have priority access to our 5-star rated Health Center. Spring is a wonderful time to visit our campus.

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 importantly, adopting LeadingAge Quality First can help individuals better understand and trust the available aging-services options.
Implementation and Outcome There are numerous ways providers 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. The guide is available for free download at http://www.leadingage.org/qualityfirst.

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance
T
he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help. What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to

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.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify.
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.

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

and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, they will be assigned a priority group. If an individual is eligible for more than one priority group, the VA will place them in the highest group for which they are eligible. Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for long-term care in some instances. Long-term care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/ or 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. LongIn some instances, Veterans may be term care services may also be covered able to use the Aid and Attendance Although Medicare, Medicaid, insurance lowance to cover needed long-term care. or private funds. 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).

HOW TO
choose assisted living/personal care
an option that provides supportive services Assisted Living/Personal Care 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 these facilities. In January 2011, the state of Pennsylvania instituted changes in legislation regarding the use of the term “assisted living.” The state’s new term “personal care home” is defined as follows: “A premise in which food, shelter and personal assistance or supervision are provided for a period exceeding 24 hours, for four or more adults who are not relatives of the operator, who do not require the services in or of a licensed long-term care facility, but who do require assistance or supervision in activities of daily

HOW TO
pay for assisted living/personal care
know your options when paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs.
Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living/personal care costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. The nationwide average cost for an assisted living/personal care residence is $2,714 per month or $32,572 annually. These figures are averages only and do not account for more affordable or subsidized options that are available in most areas. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional

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.

HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option
C
ertification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address special care units. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they have had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment. Before choosing a special care unit, you
All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident.
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.

HOW TO
know the 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.

Hospice
find hospice care A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. What is Hospice Care? 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 rou-
tines, surrounded by their treasured pos- How Do I Pay for Hospice?

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

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

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

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.

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.

there’s no place like home
A
ccording to the AARP, 80 percent of American seniors desire to stay in their homes for the remainder of their lives. This process is known as “aging in place.” Seniors choose to age in place for many reasons: proximity to family, familiarity, convenience, a desire to maintain independence, and safety and security. With advancing age, there are physical changes related to declining health and chronic diseases which may compromise a person’s ability to remain living independently. There are also social changes that may negatively impact a senior’s ability to live independently: isolation from family and friends, loss of peers, children living far away and a changing neighborhood. There are two things to consider when making the decision to age in place. First, seniors and their loved ones should conduct a thorough assessment of any adaptations the home might need, to meet any physical limitations the senior may have now or as they age. To meet the growing demand for home modifications to suit the needs of seniors, there are many building contractors who specialize in remodeling for seniors. You may want to seek out a Certified Aging in Place (CAPS) pro-
fessional who has received training in the unique needs of seniors and how to modify homes so someone can live there longer. You could also consult an occupational therapist. THE MEDICAL TEAM, a home health agency that serves Northern Virginia, has qualified Occupational Therapists who provide home evaluation and modification recommendations to promote independence and achieve a safer home environment. Second, seniors may benefit from outside help on an occasional or ongoing basis to ensure they can safely remain at home and lessen any feelings of loneliness. “Signs that additional help is needed could include missed doctor’s appointments, laundry piling up or an empty fridge and pantry. Just a little extra assistance can increase day-to-day safety and prolong independence,” says Bobbie Beharrie, RN, Director of Personal Care Services for THE MEDICAL TEAM. Services that can be offered in the home to help seniors age in place can include:
Convalescent care – Help after an illness or surgery. Respite care – Help at times when your family is away and unavailable. Escorting – Assistance with doctor’s appointments, shopping or other errands. Personal care – Assistance with medication reminders, bathing, dressing, and toileting.
These services are generally paid directly by the client; through their longterm care insurance, should they have it; or by the Veteran Aid & Attendance pension benefit, if applicable. “When choosing caregiving help, while you have the option to hire someone independently, we recommend going through an agency,” says Bobbie Beharrie. Using an agency can provide more reliability and certainty that the provider is insured, has been properly screened and trained, and is legally able to work in the U.S. Finally, in the event that the caregiver is unable to proCompanionship – A friendly visit just vide services on their scheduled day, an to talk, play a game or have a cup of tea. agency with 24/7 availability can staff a suitable alternative, which may not be Light household help – Assistance with the case when hiring an individual. laundry, housekeeping, meal preparaSource: www.seniorresource.com tion and other household tasks.

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

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 health care, after Medicare pays for benefit period begins on July 1, the day some of the cost of your care. you are formally admitted as a hospital If you get your Medicare benefits inpatient.

You are only care services you receive while you are considered to be an inpatient if you have 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.

T
he year 2006 took a toll on Kim Moyer’s family. As her parents were approaching their 60th wedding anniversary that June, her father passed away. Just a few months later, her mother Dorothy suffered a massive stroke. As a result, Kim, the youngest of six, took the responsibility of seeing that her mom received the appropriate care. Dorothy spent two weeks in the hospital before entering a rehabilitation facility. In addition to the speech and cognitive effects from her stroke, she also suffered from the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease and had knee problems. It was her wish, however, to remain at home and although Kim and her oldest sister were living with Dorothy, they knew they would need additional assistance. “My mother said she never wanted to go to a nursing home,” said Kim. “As long as we could do it physically and financially we were going to look into homecare.”
“That made it especially tough, but the caregivers were really great in accommodating us while my sister was recovering and came from 10-6,” said Kim. According to Kim, during the hours they are with Dorothy, the caregivers provide Thanks to the Visiting Angels staff, Dorothy Moyer has been able to remain at home, giving different services from preparing breakfast and lunch to transferring her and assisting her youngest daughter, Kim, peace of mind. with toileting and bathing.

HOW TO
make aging in place possible
professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life becomes too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing common remodeling projects and on how to combat common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS specialist is that they will 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 professionals are mostly remodelers, but a number of general
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.
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 in order to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

HOW TO
find daytime supervision
centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers
A
dult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers, as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision for those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis.
While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accessibility for persons in wheelchairs or using walkers. The entire facility should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do
Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information.
the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother.

Stand out
from the crowd. All of the beauty, none of the work. Everyone loves a beautifully landscaped yard and blooming flowers, but not everyone loves the work required to keep it that way. At Jenner’s Pond, you can have the best of both worlds—manicured lawns, beautiful landscaping and colorful gardens—without even lifting a finger. Of course, if you enjoy gardening, you’ll find opportunities to do that here, in your own personal garden plot. It’s just one of the many features that make retirement living at Jenner’s Pond stand out from the crowd.
To learn more about what sets Jenner’s Pond apart, call or stop by today. Affiliated with Simpson Senior Services
