quarter of a century. Two and a half decades. No matter how you look at it, 25 years is a long time. That’s why I’m so proud to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of SourceBook this year. Twenty-five years ago today, I had the brand-new idea to create a comprehensive resource guide that listed every local option available for seniors and their loved ones.

Now, in addition to world-class retirement communities, including Pine Run Community, our cover story this issue, seniors can find specialized housing and services to meet their needs. This is exemplified in our feature stories on Kendal-Crosslands, Dunwoody Village, The Quadrangle and White Horse Village, communities that are unique in the activities as well as services and amenities they provide. Seniors have access to a diverse array of professionals trained to meet their needs. For all these changes and so many others, SourceBook has been along for

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

Their Place in the World
C
By Mary Clark accustomed to moving than most thanks to Richard’s career as a chemist for Merck & Co., they were familiar with the Delaware Valley and wanted to establish their retirement home in the area. “There was a place that I had in mind and researched,” Richard explained. “But as we looked around, we realized that there was more to the selection process than floor plans. We really wanted to get it right.” Questioning what would work for them, they accepted Pine Run’s offer to come and stay overnight in one of the new cottages at the continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Doylestown, Pa. They used the time to explore the Bucks County campus, naturally encountering friendly Villagers, as residents refer to themselves at Pine Run. A convivial evening of laughter and conversation over dinner wrapped up a day full of discovery for the two. “That was our big ‘Aha!’ moment,” said Richard. “We looked around and realized that we not only liked the community experience but saw how easily we could fit into that environment.

arolyn and Richard Egan took off for parts unknown and full of adventure once their children were grown. Tiger safaris in Nepal, orangutans in Borneo, lemurs in Madagascar and polar bears in Churchill, Canada. Meeting new people everywhere, they traveled most of Europe, China, Vietnam, Cuba and beyond. Travel turned out to be great practice for making smart retirement living decisions. They had explored different cultures and unknown landscapes while traveling light for the journey. Skill sets they learned along the way they put to good use again as they started researching retirement options. “Don’t go into it with preconceived notions,” insisted Carolyn. “It’s like selecting a college. Go visit. Every senior community has a different personality; you look until you feel a connection. You’ll know when you find it because it just feels right.” The Egans’ search began with geography, as many odysseys do, focusing on something convenient to children and grandchildren, and close to international airports.

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

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 weightbearing 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 fallrelated 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 poor-fitting 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.

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. If you are looking for a FDA approved treatment that can give you back your active lifestyle, the answer is YES. If you want to be pain-free, the answer is YES. The doctors at Premier Osteoarthritis Centers of Pennsylvania want to give you this answer. Why wait another day? Join other patients who are now pain free. Space is limited, so call now for your RISK-FREE consultation. Dr. Scot Paris using fluoroscopic guidance.

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 62

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)? For more information visit the NAELA website: www.naela.org or www.nelf. org.
You will want to inquire about an attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional elder law organizations.

disinheritance done properly Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta died last year at age 82. He left one son, Moises de la Renta. He also left behind his second wife, Annette, and her three children from a prior marriage. One might expect Oscar to leave a substantial sum to his only son, Moises. However, Oscar chose to leave most of his $26 million estate to his second wife, Annette. His son Moises is one of the beneficiaries of a trust with less than a quarter of his estate. The other beneficiaries of that trust are Annette and her three children. There is a “no contest” or “in terrorem” clause which completely disinherits Moises if he contests Oscar’s will. Oscar and Moises had a falling out a decade ago when Moises attempted to
start his own fashion line. Oscar’s estate plan demonstrates the best way to disinherit someone. First, you would include a “no contest” or “in terrorem” clause. Such a clause provides that, in the event of an unsuccessful legal challenge by that person, they receive nothing. (Note, such a clause is not valid in some states.) Some practitioners and clients simply choose this route. However, then there is no disincentive for a challenge to the plan. If the heir challenges unsuccessfully, they receive nothing. However, if they do not challenge, they also receive nothing. The second element of a successful disinheritance is a minor, but substantial, inheritance amount. That way, if the heir chal-
lenges, they have something to lose. In this case, if Moises challenges, he would no longer be a beneficiary regarding the trust with a quarter of the estate. While being one of several beneficiaries of a trust with only a quarter of the estate is far less than what his intestate share would be, he would have to think twice before risking that by challenging the plan.

housing choices for seniors n
By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law
In the past, most seniors received long-term care in their homes. The surroundings were familiar, and they received support from family members. Today, with children moving away and seniors living longer, other care options are increasing in popularity. This article will explore some other choices available to seniors. If you are in good health and do not suffer from dementia-type disabilities, an independent living community may be a viable choice. Independent living is similar to maintaining an apartment or owning a condominium. The community provides security for its residents, as well as meals and social activities. Usually, independent living communities do not provide supervised medical care. Assisted living/personal care facilities are similar to independent living communities in that they both provide housing for seniors. The main difference is that these facilities provide health care to their residents. If you need assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing and bathing, this may be the answer. Most have several levels of care available, and some specialize in particular care areas, such as Alzheimer’s Disease. Nursing homes are for persons requiring skilled nursing and custodial care. They provide round-the-clock care to residents. All nursing homes have a staff physician and registered nurse supervisors. These facilities are regulated
by the Federal Nursing Home Reform Act and the laws of each state. Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) offer all three levels of living in one community. It allows residents to move to the next level of care as their care needs change.
Today, the senior population has choices for long-term care. What choice is best depends on specific care needs. It is a decision usually made by the senior and/or their family, with the help of their physician, attorney, and financial advisor.

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.

T
he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs.

you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating AM Page 1 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.

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

the basics of de-cluttering n
By Robin Jenks Vanderlip, BA, MC, CMRS, SRES, LUX, Professional Realtor

ometimes life’s most embarrassing moments lead us to take action. An injured raccoon started visiting my bird feeders, which led to him exploring my garage for more food. Noticing he was there, I shut the garage door and locked him in. The animal control officers had been to my house the day prior trying to catch him with no luck. I thought it would be a great opportunity to catch this raccoon and it was, except for the fact that I had a lot of clutter and “JUNK” piled up to one side of my garage, which had to be moved. Is it easier to function in a cluttered space than to take the time to clean it up? When you think about de-cluttering your house, do you get overwhelmed? I do, and to be honest, when I go someplace, especially a home for sale that has stuff all over, I get distracted. One of the most challenging tasks is letting go of things. Think about letting go of stuff like this: “I am choosing to determine what happens to____________________.” From here, it goes to donation, garbage, someone else, etc. It is easier to give things

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 multifamBecause of rising home values, older home ily condominiums.

An index number below 50 indicates family HMI posted increases from a that more builders view conditions as 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.

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 evalua-
tion, 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 Continued on page 70

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. The GCM determines what type of service will be helpful and recommends providers who he or Follow-up visits also allow the GCM to she feels will best meet the family’s needs. determine whether the current care services are working. standing, as well as their personality Geriatric Care Managers has established and how comfortable they make their standards of quality and a Code of EthHow do I Choose a GCM? clients.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

outwitted by Howe’s forces. It was a battle that ended with the defeat of the Americans and their retreat to Chester. Through the park’s tours, various educational programs and camps for children, individuals can interactively learn about this important event in American history. Visitors can mark the date in early September for the annual re-enactment of what has been proclaimed the largest single-day battle of the American War for Independence. The historic culture of these counties does not stop there, however. The West Chester Railroad museum has celebrated more than 150 years since the first train pulled into West Chester. Other attractions that can take visitors back in time are the Pennsylvania Veterans Museum, Historic Sugartown Village and the American Helicopter Museum. From Gardens to Grapes Brandywine Valley, made famous by the legacy of the du Pont family, is a major attraction of Chester County with its gardens, museums and wineries. Among the many exquisite sights to see in this particular area, perhaps one of the most reputable is Longwood Gardens. This premier horticultural display with 11,000 different types of plants both indoors and out, has grown since the early 20th century. Throughout the year, Longwood beckons visitors with
beautiful colors and spectacular scenery. While at Longwood Gardens, tourists can explore the Peirce-du Pont home. Quaker farmer Joshua Peirce built a section of the brick home in 1730, which his successors then extended. In 1906, Pierre S. du Pont purchased the property to save its trees and modified it into his country home and first conservatory. Residents and visitors can enjoy a weekend on the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail, featuring six different wineries where guests can taste premium wines. Located between Longwood Gardens and Brandywine River Museum, the historic Chaddsford Winery is open daily and is Pennsylvania’s most acclaimed winery. A renovated 17th century colonial barn, the winery is a beautiful attraction with a charming country atmosphere. Folly Hill Vineyards is part of a 200-year old Quaker farmhouse where individuals can be seen picnicking, taking scenic walks and tasting wines in the stone carriage house. All of the wineries found on the Brandywine Wine Trail provide beautiful views and great entertainment, while allowing individuals to see winemaking first-hand.
A 19th- century grist mill, the museum exhibits work by three generations of Wyeths, along with a collection of American illustrations and landscape paintings. Aside from the beauty found in its displayed art, it is also the site for the Brandywine Conservancy Wildflower and Native Plants Gardens designed by horticulturist F.M. Mooberry. In 1979, Lady Bird Johnson dedicated the gardens to Ford B. Draper and Henry A. Thouron, the two individuals who played an integral role in the conservancy’s establishment. Here, wildflowers, such as Blue Lobelias and Yellow Tickseed Sunflowers, bloom in September and October, adding to the vivid display of colorful leaves.
Fun for the Family For those looking for activities catering to a younger crowd, there is Linvilla Orchards, a 300-acre farm located in Delaware County. With its rich agriculture, this attraction provides an educational experience and various entertaining activities. Families can visit Pumpkinland, pick their own fresh produce, take a hayride or play at Playland Playground. The farm’s world famous Cultural Expressions pies lure visitors, as well as its festivals In Delaware County, a rich sense of featuring costumed characters, games culture can be found in the internation- and music.

An Inspiring Collaboration
I
By Lauren Searson
t is often said that it only takes one person to make a difference. So what happens when four proactive women at The Quadrangle, a continuing care community (CCRC) in Haverford, Pa., come together to help a local charter school and children’s chorus? A collaboration that has not only inspired their peers, but has had positive effects on the surrounding community. For Joan May and Pat Eames, it all started with a guest speaking engagement at the community over two years ago. John Alston, founder of the Chester Children’s Chorus, spoke about his work with the chorus and the Chester Char-
ter School for Education and the Arts, which incorporates the arts in its curriculum to impact children’s lives. “He was amazingly exciting to listen to, and I was inspired,” said Joan. “Pat and I were talking after he spoke and thought, ‘Wow, this is something we’d like to help with if there’s any way in which we can.’” For Joan, helping others is a second nature. Married to an architect, she spent several years at the Department of Public Assistance in Pennsylvania as a case worker. She later worked at the Department of Public Welfare and Office of Services for the Aging. Through her career, the now greatContinued on page 91

grandmother had an in-depth look at the Chester school system. Pat is also no stranger to contributing to her community. Initially starting her career as a union organizer, she became an attorney representing labor unions. She used her experience and knowledge to teach labor and constitutional law at Vanderbilt University, and to later serve as general counsel for Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich. When eventually researching retirement communities, it was the sense of camaraderie at The Quadrangle that caught Pat’s attention. “It is very much like a residential college with regard to the spirit of community that exists, and the spirit of working together,” she said. Therefore, it was not surprising that after listening to John, Joan and Pat found like-minded individuals to form a committee and ultimately establish the Chester Project at The Quadrangle. Among that group are residents Ceil Frey and Barbara Gadegbeku. The community’s collaboration with the school particularly resonated with both women due to their backgrounds in public education. With her doctorate, Barbara taught chemistry in high school and college and ran an engineering company with her husband. When he started experiencing difficulties with his memory, the couple found the CCRC that best worked for them near their children. “We chose The Quadrangle because we thought it had the most of everything we could possibly want and it was the perfect distance between our two daughters,” said Barbara. After receiving her doctorate and teaching in Philadelphia and Lower Marion, Ceil decided to spend her early retirement years supervising student teachers and teaching graduate classes in education. As empty nesters, she and her husband knew when it was ultimately time to downsize and, like Joan, had received recommendations from friends already living at The Quadrangle. Since her arrival, she has contributed to the Chester Project by organizing book drives for the school. “Chester Charter School for Education and the Arts is a notable exception in the Chester Upland School District, and is unique in its method of teaching,” she said. When the school announced its addition of a ninth grade, they were in further need of books. This time, Ceil reached out to her peers for cash donations and found generous results. “We got over three thousand dollars in donations from people here,” she said. “That says a lot about the people in this community.” It did not take long after Barbara arrived at The Quadrangle for her to learn about the Chester Project in which she became involved last year. “I was drawn to the program. The chorus was having a summer education program run by Swarthmore College. For the youngest children, those rising
to the third grade, the program included a reading section, and so I volunteered to participate in that,” she said. This past summer, eight residents carpooled four days a week for two weeks to help the children for an hour with their reading. The kids also enjoyed word puzzles and games. “Being a music lover and singer myself, I was interested in the Chester Children’s Chorus. I went to the holiday concert that was held in December 2014,” said Barbara. “It was a wonderful program filled with a variety of music.” Other resident involvement has included a “Reading One-on-One” program with kindergarten students at the school, as well as pop-up art shows featuring the children’s work. “We have this wonderful art from these wonderful kids,” said Pat. “This community was the first venue in which the art show was held; the folks from the school came over and put up works from the students from kindergarten through eighth grade.” For Joan, it has been a delight seeing the impact of the school and chorus on the children, and knowing the role the residents of The Quadrangle have played. “It gives the kids something to aim for and a sense of self-worth; they love it and they’re good at it,” she said. “We’ve always been very happy that we started it and we find it a very exciting endeavor.” “We all had tours of the school and were blown away by the love you feel from the teachers and children,” added Ceil. “The atmosphere there is magical and their scores increase from year to year.” And while the women and their fellow committee members continue helping the outside community, they know they are at a home where a staff is there to in turn help them. As a CCRC, The Quadrangle provides a range of care services from independent living to nursing and memory care should residents’ health needs change over time. With housekeeping, maintenance, concierge services, transportation and fine dining, the residents are able to enjoy the various activities of their home, whether enjoying a new read in the library or taking a swim in the indoor heated pool. At The Quadrangle, committees, discussion groups and activities are planned and organized by the residents so that everyone’s interests are met. “There are 87 committees here; we have book, current event, music and other groups. This is an extremely active place,” said Ceil. It is safe to say that Joan, Pat, Barbara and Ceil, with their engaged and dedicated lifestyles, are perfect representations of their peers and overall community. “None of the other CCRCs we visited could match the activities and the passion of ideas that were going on here,” said Joan. “It’s a very interesting place to be.”

Exhibiting art in a 19th-century grist mill, the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford is internationally known for its collection of works by three generations of Wyeths. The museum also features a large collection of still life, landscape paintings and American illustration.
During the annual A Longwood Gardens Christmas, the horticultural wonderland in scenic Brandywine Valley features a dazzling display of Christmas trees and poinsettias during the holiday season.
Throughout the year, families visit Delaware County’s 300-acre Linvilla Orchards to pick their own in-season fruits and vegetables—and try the traditional, oh-so-good homemade pies. Around Halloween,the farm plays up the tricks and treats during Pumpkinland, a festival that includes a maze, hayrides, pick-your-own apples, a jack o’ lantern exhibit, face painting, pony rides, a costume parade, nighttime activities and, of course, plenty of pumpkins.

Living Green By Christy Brudin

G
oing green has never been more in. Living green, on the other hand, is not a fashion statement. It is about making genuine and pervasive lifestyle changes to protect and preserve natural resources. Living green comes naturally for the residents of White Horse Village, a 96-acre continuing care retirement community in Newtown Square, Pa. The community’s bucolic setting attracts retirees who love spending time outside – from amateur gardeners to committed conservationists. With so many nature lovers living in one community, it is no surprise that White Horse has been recognized for its innovative environmental efforts. As part of the state-wide bluebird trail, White Horse’s residents maintain 14 bluebird houses on campus. The houses were built in the on-campus woodworking shop and are monitored by a committee of 10 residents. As Chair of the Bluebird Trail Committee, Betty Fink is proud of the community’s efforts to help restore the bluebird population that was nearly wiped out by pesticides and unsustainable building practices. “Last year, we had more birds fledge than any place around here,” Betty reported. “Nearby Tyler Arboretum even teased us that we had stolen all their birds.” For Betty, one of the major factors in deciding to move to White Horse more than five years ago was the appeal of having outdoor space. “We really have lots of open space and flower beds, and of course we have birds and rabbits and all kinds of wildlife. I really love that,” she said. The residents not only enjoy the outdoors, they also like

to get involved in the management and upkeep of the expansive campus. Recently, residents have led efforts to rid the property of invasive weeds, including the “mile-a-minute” vines that were quickly destroying the meadow. However, they didn’t want to bring in heavy machinery to remove the invasive plants, since that would also damage the landscape. Instead, they turned to voracious eaters – goats. “We researched companies that rent goats as one of our options, and decided it was the best solution,” explained Marge Argo, the Chair of the Landscape Advisory Committee. “We learned that they feed 14-15 hours a day. In just 3-5 days, the goats can clear a ½ acre.” The use of goats to clear the meadow is just one of many sustainability efforts that the White Horse residents have undertaken. The Landscape Advisory Committee also oversaw the identifying and tagging of more than 1,200 trees on campus—an effort that was recognized and applauded by Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College. Several garden plots are also available for residents, as well as a plot for the kitchen staff. “They plant a number of flowers and vegetables that are sold in the summertime for a reasonable fee. And the herbs that the chefs grow are used in our meals,” said Marge. The community chefs also raise several plots of tomatoes, peppers, beets, cucumbers and squash that they use throughout the summer. Marge and her husband moved to White Horse more than seven years ago after considering several nearby communities. The scenic campus, complete with useable outdoor spaces, was certainly a deciding factor for the couple. “This is a community of people who enjoy the outdoors and

S p e cia l S e c t i o n : F e at u r e S t o r y appreciate the beauty of nature,” Marge said. Beyond the appealing environment, Marge and her husband were also drawn to White Horse because of the fascinating residents and the overall lifestyle. “This is a campus full of interesting people and activities,” Marge noted. “We have many activities and many talented people who share their time to run classes and clubs.” White Horse’s residents also spend a significant amount of time preserving the natural beauty of their home, as well as the natural resources they use. In addition to the Bluebird and Landscape Committees, the community also boasts an Energy Committee. This committee works to keep utility usage down by coordinating with the management to ensure that utilities are kept at lower levels if residents are on vacation. The biannual clean-ups of nearby Ridley Creek are also large-
ly resident organized. Both staff and residents pitch in to clean up the area. The community has also focused on using sustainable landscaping practices and designing landscape elements to improve the watershed. For their efforts, local watershed associations have recognized them. “It’s really the residents that make this such a green community – through their involvement in a variety of resident committees,” acknowledged Dottie Mallon, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations. The residents of White Horse Village certainly work hard to preserve the natural beauty of the campus, but they also play hard – fully enjoying all that the picturesque location has to offer. Whether they are watching the new goats munch away at invasive weeds, enjoying fresh herbs on their dinners or seeing a young bluebird take flight, they are always living green.

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
Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
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.

most ready to retire, already collecting social security
he first set of Baby Boomers, those born in 1946, continue to be myth-busters, according to a recent study, Healthy, Retiring Rapidly and Collecting Social Security: The MetLife Report on the Oldest Boomers. The data, from the company’s MetLife Mature Market Institute, says the earliest Boomers aren’t necessarily “working ‘till they drop,” as was predicted. More than half (52%) of the 1946 Boomers are now fully retired. Of those, 38 percent say, “I’m ready,” while 17 percent cite health reasons and 10 percent attribute a job loss. Twenty-one percent remain employed full-time and 14 percent are working part-time; of those, most plan to retire fully by age 71, up from 69 in 2011. The figures from the MetLife Mature

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. • Eight percent are “upside down” on their mortgage, owing more than the value of their home. • The average number of grandchildren is 4.8. • 79 percent of the oldest Boomers have neither of their parents living, but more than one in 10 are providing regular care for a parent or older relative; for many, the level of care has increased. • Oldest Boomers continue to believe they will see themselves as “old” at the age of 78.5.
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.
• 16 percent of the oldest Boomers see themselves as being sharpest mentally now, in their 60s, but the largest group (30%) believes they were sharpest in their 40s. • More than 40 percent of the oldest Boomers are optimistic about the future. 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. Methodology The nationally representative survey for Healthy, Retiring Rapidly and Collecting Social Security: The MetLife Report on the Oldest Boomers was conducted by GfK Custom Research North America on behalf of the MetLife Mature Market Institute between November 6, 2012 and December 23,

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.
“Senior Living with Care for Life.” I have a perfect retirement – a comfortable home with no maintenance responsibilities … friends I see every day … and complete peace of mind about the future. Moravian Hall Square’s Life Care Contract means if I ever need personal care, memory support or nursing care services, they are included as part of the contract. So today, I’m enjoying myself, knowing I’ll have unlimited access to whatever care I may need in the future.

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-

Inspiring a more satisfying, longer life just takes a little perspective. Shannondell woodcarving students all start out a little apprehensive when staring at a raw block of tupelo wood. 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.

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

a guide to choosing the right contract n By Kelly Hagler You want to move to a senior living community, but that’s just the first of many decisions you’ll need to make. No matter which community you move to, you’ll have to sign a contract that stipulates the services you’ll receive and what you’ll pay—now and down the road. This guide can help you navigate the different contracts you may encounter as you embark on your search for a new home. Continuing care retirement communities offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This setting is generally attractive to seniors who like to plan ahead. CCRCs are most useful for seniors who can come in at the independent living level and move through higher levels of care as needed over time. “The CCRC is a promise of future care, inclusive of the various levels,” says Marc
Herrera, vice president of skilled nursing administration and risk management at be.group, an operator of Southern California retirement communities. “All other types of senior living are month-to- month arrangements.” Most CCRCs are nonprofit organizations with business models surrounding a mission of senior care and service, says Daniel S. Ogus, executive vice president and chief operating officer at be.group. All levels of care in a CCRC are usually provided by the same management. CCRC contracts are more complex than other types of senior living agreements because they offer more services. There are three common types of CCRC agreements that typically secure long-term living accommodations, services and health care for residents.
1. Type A (Life Care Agreements)— According to the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited health-related services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements)—As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower Continued on page 116

entrance fee than Type A, the CARF cautions that, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements)—Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says Herrera. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care. Steps before you sign Regardless of the environment you choose, moving to a senior living community is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and even more research. Here are some important steps to take before signing a contract. 1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest
pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. Understand which services are covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services. Understand how they charge for specialized programming and activities. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a CCRC contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit CCRCs offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or

her financial resources. “Say someone has lived in the community for 15–20 years and now she cannot afford to pay at that higher level—this program subsidizes her as she continues to live at the same level,” says Herrera. 6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.” 7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 8. Explore, visit, ask questions, repeat. “We want [potential residents] to make the right decision,” says Ogus. “We want them to choose us, but we’d rather them not choose us if it’s not the right decision for them. An unhappy resident can spoil it for the rest of the community. It should be a lifestyle decision, not a sentence.”

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. 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

generosity runs deep in boomers study explores family interdependencies and retirement
D
uring the last five years, three out of five Americans age 50 and older have provided financial assistance to members of their family, including adult children, parents, grandchildren, siblings or other relatives, according to a new Merrill Lynch study. Conducted in partnership with Age Wave, “Family & Retirement: The Elephant in the Room” is an in-depth study exploring modern family interdependencies and the challenges Boomers face in balancing them with their own retirement plans and financial security. Conducted in August 2013, the study is based on a nationally representative survey of more than 5,400 respondents.
The average financial assistance provided to family members during the last five years was nearly $15,000 – and significantly more among the nation’s wealthiest families. This support may have been to help relatives meet a onetime need or ongoing assistance over the course of many years, and was often given without expecting anything in return. However, the vast majority of people age 50 plus (88 percent) have not factored such support for family into their financial planning. “Given the challenging economic climate during the past several years, it’s not surprising that so many Americans have extended financial support to their loved ones,” said Andy Sieg, head of Global Wealth and Retirement
Solutions for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “However, such admirable willingness to assist family members should not place one’s own long-term financial security in jeopardy.” Additional highlights from the study include: Are you the Family Bank? Nearly three in five people (56 percent) age 50 plus believe a member of their family is the “Family Bank,” meaning someone who their extended family is most likely to turn to for financial help. This person is often the one who is most financially responsible, has the most money or is the easiest to approach. Continued on page 128

generosity ... Continued from page 127
Sacrificing Retirement for Family: Half of pre-retirees age 50 plus say they would make major sacrifices that could impact their retirement to help family members. Among these preretirees, 60 percent would retire later, 40 percent would return to work after retiring, and more than one-third (36 percent) say they would accept a less comfortable retirement lifestyle to help family financially. Generosity & Inheritance: Those helping family financially rarely do so because they expect future help or payback. People age 50 plus are 20 times more likely to say they are helping family because “it is the right thing to do” than because “family members will help them in the future” (80 percent vs. 4 percent). They are 5 times more likely to stop support because a recipient is not using the money wisely than because of worries about being paid back (57 percent vs. 11 percent). This generosity extends to a shift in mindset regarding inheritance. For example, 60 percent of people age 50 plus say they would prefer to begin passing on their assets during retirement, rather than waiting until the end of life.
Marriage in Retirement: Close to half of married retirees say their marriage is more fulfilling (48 percent) and loving (45 percent) in retirement, and just 11 percent say it is more boring or contentious. However, divorce is becoming increasingly common among older adults. One in seven people age 50 and older who were once married are now divorced and single – a sevenfold increase since 19601. After a divorce, average household income drops by more than 40 percent for women and by 25 percent for men2. Blended Families: Rising divorce rates, which peaked in the 1980s among all age groups and doubled between 1990 and 2010 among people age 50 plus, have contributed significantly to the rise in blended families. Nearly two in five people (37 percent) age 50 and older are now part of a blended family3. Nearly one-third (31 percent) of people age 50 plus with stepchildren say it complicates financial planning. “Families are a major source of fulfillment during retirement years – but can also create unforeseen financial pressures,” said Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Age Wave. “Too often, people plan for their retirement without factoring in how they might be called upon to help out their adult children, aging parents and siblings.” The study found that the vast majority
of people age 50 plus have not prepared for potential family events and challenges that could affect their retirement, including: Perpetual Parenthood & Boomerangs: One in five parents (19 percent) age 50 plus have at least one “boomerang” adult child who has moved back in with them. More than two-thirds (68 percent) of parents age 50 plus have provided some form of financial support to their adult children during the last five years – among which, 36 percent did so without knowing how their money was being used. Those parents who are aware of how their money is being spent say it is given to help adult children with their rent or mortgage (20 percent), cell phone bills (18 percent), car payments (17 percent), health care expenses (15 percent) and student loans (11 percent), among other things. Loss of a Spouse through Death or Divorce: Only one-third (33 percent) of people age 50 and older say they feel well prepared for retirement if everything goes as they expect. Less than one-quarter (24 percent) would feel prepared if their spouse died or they divorced – a troubling statistic given that more than half of women over the age of 70 have been widowed4 and 14 percent of people age 50 and older are divorced5.

I n depen den t Li v i ng Early Retirement: Less than one in four (23 percent) of adults age 50 plus say they would be prepared financially if they or their spouse were forced to retire early because of a health problem, despite the fact that one-third of people in the U.S. who retire early do so for health reasons6. While younger people consider cancer to be the greatest health-related worry of later life, older adults unequivocally say Alzheimer’s; nearly half of people age 85 and older have Alzheimer’s or related dementias7. Care Giving & Receiving: The vast majority of people age 50 plus (91 percent) say they would not be prepared if an aging parent or relative needed extended long-term care. While 37 percent of people age 50 and older believe they may need long-term care in their lifetime, the reality is that twice as many – 70 percent – eventually will8. Most people (86 percent) age 50 plus would prefer to receive care in their own home, if needed. No. 1 Retirement Concern – Becoming a Burden: When asked their greatest worry about living a long life, older adults (age 68 to 88) cite “being a burden on family” on par with running out of money to live comfortably (both 31 percent). However, 66 percent of people age 50 plus admit they have taken no steps to avoid having to live with a family member if unable to live on their own.
Troubling lack of discussion The study also found a significant lack of proactive discussion and engagement between family members on key financial topics. This can negatively impact various aspects of one’s retirement and overall financial security. Seventy percent of adult children age 25 and older have not had a discussion with parents about their retirement and other issues related to aging. And more than half (56 percent) of parents age 50 plus say they have not discussed any important financial issues – such as a will, health directive, inheritance plans and where they plan to live in retirement – with their adult children. Furthermore, just one in four siblings age 50 plus have discussed how their parents will be financially provided for, or cared for, as they get older. Across all relationships, the most common catalyst for such discussions is the death or illness of a family member or friend (43 percent), and the top barriers for having an open conversation include fear of family conflict (24 percent) and the fact that such topics are just too uncomfortable to discuss (19 percent). People who do have these discussions with family members are, on average, nearly twice as likely to say they would be well prepared financially if faced with a family challenge. “Proactive discussions and coordination with family members can be the difference between smooth sailing and significant hardship when confronting financial
challenges leading up to and through retirement,” said David Tyrie, head of Retirement and Personal Wealth Solutions for Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

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.

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 RISING OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS Public Health at the George Washington University, created Income levels for aging Americans are increasing, The Cost of Aging in America, but not as quickly as their medical bills. By 2040: an extensive infographic previewed here, to explore some of these issues. More Median annual out-of-pocket costs for Americans age 65 will nearly double: information is available at http:// publichealthonline.gwu.edu/ cost-of-aging/.

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-

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

HOW TO
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. Care n Be available the entire day of admisBefore choosing a home, contact the sion to help settle the resident and proLong-Term Care Ombudsman Program vide support.

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.

HOW TO
remain at home
receive assistance while enjoying the comforts of home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services—from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions.
HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exercises, housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders and transportation. SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed Options in Home Care by a physician and is administered by a An incredibly diverse field, home care registered nurse. The services provided includes companion care, home healthcare by skilled nurses include: administering or skilled nursing. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of the tasks that family members would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of companion care providers are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available.
injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more. Finding a Provider After determining the type and amount of services needed along with payment options, consumers should begin interviewing potential providers. This is a highly important decision, since finding a qualified, reliable and compassionate individual is essential to the health and happiness of patients and their families.

H o m e H e a lt h C a r e
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.

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

Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers If facing this decision, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision: homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.”
1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or
otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?
2. Are social security, federal and state
5. Are criminal history background checks,
3. Is there verification that the paid

that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages related to the caregiver(s)
Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n

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

H o m e H E a lt h C a r e R e a l-L i f e Story
K
athy Dovidio and her mother, Maria Lacross, have always been there for one another. It is a bond that was further strengthened with the passing of Kathy’s father and brother. “It’s been just the two of us for quite some time,” said Kathy. A longtime resident of northeast Philadelphia, Pa., Maria worked as a registered nurse at St. John Neumann Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. Having started a family of her own, Kathy moved to the suburbs with her husband and three children. She started researching nearby options for Maria and found a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) that offered an array of activities and convenience for Maria. “One of mom’s favorite things to do is play Bridge and she had a great group to play with there,” said Kathy. During this time, Maria participated in a University of Pennsylvania study focusing on people with mild cognitive impairment.
She discovered she had Frontal Temporal Dementia, which affects executive function, language and behavior, and would impact certain activities, such as driving. Kathy knew immediately she wanted Maria to live with her family. Although she first looked into an adult day program, she quickly decided a home health care company would be a more viable solution. “Over time, it was challenging to work, help my family, and help mom,” said Kathy.
“I felt if I could just get a few hours of help from time to time, it would make things better.” After consulting SourceBook, Kathy found Visiting Angels and has been happy ever since. They started with caregiver visits for a few hours in the evening, but Maria’s increasing confusion posed a concern for her safety. Now attending an adult day program, Maria has a Visiting Angels caregiver to help her get ready in the morning and greet her when she returns home. “What I love about the caregivers is they are very dependable and always accommodating,” said Kathy. “It’s not easy, but they work really well with her.” For Kathy, knowing her mother is able to spend time with her grandchildren and have the support she needs has provided a sense of relief. “I feel I have the utmost quality of oneon-one care; they have simplified my life and I know my mom is safe at home,” she said.

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. Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information.
While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accessibility for persons in wheelchairs or using walkers. The entire facility should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do
the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center 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.
