Only the best for you

because the best is all Kensington Senior Living knows how to do Six years ago, a passionate group of lifelong senior living professionals dreamed of building and staffing a residence they’d choose for their own parents, who they love deeply. They wanted to contribute their knowledge and heart to communities that sought to improve the lives of older adults and their families. So they did—in Kensington, MD and Falls Church, VA (opening early 2017).

ensington Senior Living is a partnership of bighearted leaders who are committed to providing excellence in senior care and housing. Their collective expertise reflects a profound understanding of the adults and families they serve.

The partners develop and lead communities that take senior living to a higher level. They assemble teams of best-in-class professionals who share their vision to make life easier and happier for residents. They design interiors that not only look and feel like a warm home but also make it comfortable and safe for residents to move about. They collaborate with specialty experts for supplemental care, services, entertainment and enrichment. And, they

maintain strong ties to the community by supporting local merchants and cultural initiatives. Kensington Senior Living caters to highly individualized needs and wants by providing a lifestyle continuum— Independent Living for those who prefer more autonomy, Assisted Living for those who need daily light support or 24-hour care, and three unique levels of Memory Care for those who require help managing any stage of memory loss. All options include an uncompromising regard for quality and ongoing commitment to positive change, for which Kensington Senior Living is known. Call or visit the community near you to learn more.

A Special Tribute

A Best Friend for All

est friends are rarely forever. And they certainly are not for everyone. Developing a friendship takes effort. Maintaining a friendship is hard work. But Aileen England made it look easy. A retired elementary school teacher and the former Database Manager at Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, Aileen England was a best friend forever— and a best friend for all. On Sunday, July 24, 2016, we all lost a dear friend. A native of Colorado, Aileen and her husband, David, settled in Reston, Virginia, early in their marriage. A devoted mother to their two sons, Robert and James, Aileen was always involved in sports and school activities. She was also always an active member of the Reston community. Her neighbors quickly became her lifelong friends. After all, no one was just an acquaintance of Aileen. “Aileen was our neighbor for 45 wonderful years,” said Jo Koerner. “We were blessed to have her also as a wonderful friend.” Aileen spent 35 years teaching at Lake Anne Elementary School in Reston, Va. Her connections with both colleagues and students were legendary. It is rare for adults to vividly remember their elementary school teachers, but Aileen’s former students do. “Mrs. England was my very favorite teacher at Lake Anne Elementary School,” said former student Laura Killoran. “I have thought of her often throughout my adult years. Please know that she made a huge impact, I believe, in the life of her students; she definitely did in my mine.” Aileen had that kind of influence on not just one student—but on hundreds— during her tenure. Even after her retirement, Aileen continued to be a positive force in the community. Among other activities, she was active in a knitting group and a Mahjong group. Aileen was always dining with friends, going to the theater and attending sporting events.

By Christy Brudin

A retired elementary school teacher and the former Database Manager at SourceBook, Aileen England was a best friend forever—and a best friend for all.

She was rarely alone, and she always made sure no one had to feel lonely. “I felt her warmth and humor the very first time I met her,” said Shirley Lieberman, a member of Aileen’s knitting group. “Of course, she could tell a story like no one I have ever known, often making fun of herself and always keeping us laughing. But then there was the way she would listen—she had a way of making you feel good and as if what was

Aileen made friends easily, and she made friends forever. In fact, she had more best friends than most people have acquaintances. going on in your life mattered. Aileen amazed and inspired me, and her love and kindness will always stay with me.” Carol Gross, a friend for 65 years, spent a lot of time traveling with Aileen. “Aileen and I had many memorable experiences as we travelled the globe,” Carol said. “Her passion was helping others realize their dreams. She was always willing to indulge my passion for figure skating, and we attended competitions together.”

It was no surprise that when Aileen launched her second career, her impact only continued to grow. In 1998, Aileen accepted a position as an assistant for one of her son’s friends who had recently started a new business. Steve Gurney, the founder and publisher of Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, needed some help with production and fulfillment. He got a dedicated teammate and a lifelong friend. “When Aileen first started working for SourceBook our operations were based in my basement, and it was just myself, Aileen and my golden retriever,” recalled Steve. “I realized within the first couple of days that I had connected with a very special person.” Steve was immediately impressed by Aileen’s work ethic and natural curiosity. He also quickly realized that she was a person who easily made connections. He explained, “Aileen cared about everyone she came in contact with. Whether it was a reader, an advertiser, a delivery person, or me and my family, Aileen made everyone feel special.” When Steve sold his growing business to an affiliate of The Washington Post, Aileen reluctantly agreed to join him in his new office. Although she was much older than all the other employees, Aileen quickly added even more friends to her

ever-broadening circle. One of those friends was Suzcelle Sembrano, the Production Manager for sister publication Apartment Showcase. “Aileen is a rare gem of a friend. It’s truly been a privilege to have been a part of her big circle of friends,” said Suzcelle. “Her impact on me has been tremendous, and there’s going to a be hole in my heart now that she’s gone.” In 2002, I walked into the SourceBook office and into Aileen’s circle of friends. I was fresh out of graduate school with a Master’s degree in English, a lot of enthusiasm and very limited experience. On my first day of work, I was wearing my new suit and carrying a notepad. I was all business. After making my way past the reception area, I was greeted by Ms. England, who said, “Aren’t you fancy? You must be a real writer.” I laughed nervously and immediately felt at home. What started as a sense of familiarity quickly blossomed into one of the most meaningful friendships I have ever had. I was 24, and Aileen was 65, and we were the best of friends. We laughed, we lunched, and we talked and talked and talked. I learned all about her large group of friends: the neighbors, the knitters, the Mahjong players, and the avid sports fans (including Aileen). Aileen always had a story to tell, and she was one of the best storytellers I ever met. I recall looking forward to Monday morning to hear about Aileen’s weekend adventures. She never disappointed. Of course, Aileen always wanted to hear my stories too. She wanted to know about my friends—about the bars we went to and the concerts we attended. Most of all, she wanted to hear about “the boys”— who was I dating, what did they wear, did they pay for dinner, and would there be a second date. She was a great talker and an even better listener. While we did a lot of talking and laughing, we also got a lot of work done. Aileen and I spent quite a few late nights together making sure that the tables you see throughout this magazine were correct. At that time, this was a laborintensive labor of love. We also spent hours doing fulfillment, setting up excel charts for UPS shipments. I may be the only person on the planet who has fond memories of using the

Time to Exercise Mary Owen and her husband, Aubrey, have always been active, and their activity level has only increased since moving to Westminster-Canterbury. Between working out in the gym, taking fitness classes at the Vitality Center and participating in dance classes, Mary is busier than ever. “There’s really not enough time to do all that I want to do here,” Mary said. “And I really couldn’t be any happier.” Beyond the options for indoor exercise, Mary and Aubrey also enjoy the community’s more than two miles of scenic hiking trails. “This is a fantastic place to go for a walk, and a wonderful place to take pictures “There’s really not enough time of the beautiful landscapes that surround us,” she said. to do all that I want to do here. And I really couldn’t be any happier.” — Mary Owen

Time to Swim “I was going crazy. I was getting sicker and developing aches and pains. I realized that I was just killing time until the next meal,” recalls George Magurn, a retired teacher, of living alone in his home in rural Virginia. After his son’s in-laws moved to Westminster-Canterbury, George began to consider a move of his own. He is now involved in many activities, and is a regular in the Vitality Center. He participates in a variety of aquatic classes, and his overall health has improved dramatically. “The aches and pains have pretty much gone away,” he said. “And it is so liberating to have all of my needs taken care of.”

Time to Dine From the very first day they moved in, Cathy and David Jones have been thrilled with the pleasant atmosphere that Westminster-Canterbury offers. A big part of that atmosphere is the diverse dining options that are available to all residents. “We have such a great variety of places to eat,” said David. One of the Jones’ favorite dining venues is the new Canterbury Café, a casual eatery serving breakfast and lunch. While all the dining facilities on campus offer delicious food, they also serve up plenty of camaraderie. “The people here are amazing. If we picked our ideal neighbors, it would be these folks,” said David. “When we “When we moved in here, we had people moved in here, we had people calling every night asking us to have calling every night asking us to have dinner with them. dinner with them.

She also faced cancer and was incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of her fellow residents. “I would have been a depressed mess if I had to face these things in my big house with just my husband,” Joleen said. “This is such a supportive environment.” Now, Joleen stays healthy and happy with the help of the advanced massage therapy program available to residents.

Time to Create “I spent my career in finance. That’s about as far as you can get from anything artistic, so to be able to pursue art now is such a great thing,” said Katherine Perry, one of Westminster-Canterbury’s many budding artists. A resident for nine years, Katherine has dabbled in a variety of artistic mediums since moving. “I’ve tried watercolors and sketching, and I like both, but I love this,” she said. “This” is creating sculptures, and it is Katherine’s new passion. As she “I moved here with my husband, works, she talks about the joy she gets from her new pastime. “I am just and when he developed Alzheimer’s, he having a ball working with my hands and creating.

Time to Heal

Margie Sheppard and her husband made plans to move to WestminsterCanterbury together. When her husband passed away suddenly, Margie found herself in a large house alone with a tiny dog. “I realized I had to be with people,” she said. Margie decided to visit Westminster-Canterbury, and discovered that there was a cozy cottage available. She never looked back. “It is a brand new life, and it is exactly what I needed,” said Margie. “I still have my independence, which so many people worry about losing, but I also have over 200 activities I can participate in, and I try to do them all!” Margie had been living in the community for a year when she fully realized the importance of Lifecare. She slipped on some black ice while walking her dog “I still have my independence, and broke her arm. Following a hospital stay, Margie moved to the assisted which so many people worry about losing, but living wing, on campus, where she could heal. “It was great. I got the care I also have over 200 activities I can participate that I needed, and nothing changed with my monthly fee,” she recalled. in, and I try to do them all!” After three weeks, Margie was feeling better and returned to her — Margie Sheppard cottage—and her full schedule of activities. As the residents of Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury know—and show—there is no time like the present. When this group was asked what advice they would give to those contemplating a move to a retirement community, their answer was unanimous: “Don’t wait! Do it while you can enjoy all of the fabulous amenities!” Whether they are getting fit, getting inspired or getting well, these residents are all making the most of every day. While they may always want more time, they are soaking up every minute of retirement—and having the time of their lives! Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

Help to Heal By Christy Brudin

ob Bolle swam a mile on Thursday. The next day, his wife, Mary Jane, found him lying on their bed unable to move. This terrifying experience was the beginning of a long journey to heal—a journey that led Bob to Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center. Located in Alexandria, Va., Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center has been providing quality care to local residents for more than 35 years. The Center is a 5-star Medicarerated facility and has long been recognized for delivering exceptional nursing care and rehabilitation therapies. Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center’s primary focus is on helping patients restore their life’s balance and become well again. An attorney by trade, Bob spent much of his career in Washington, D.C., including a brief stint at the Treasury Department in the Office of Tax Policy. He also served on the U.S. Tax Court. When he was not at work, Bob and Mary Jane enjoyed sailing with friends. Bob was also an avid swimmer, swimming almost daily for decades. When Bob and Mary Jane came to Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center, they were in crisis. Overnight, Bob had become desperately ill. He went from a healthy and active person to someone who was bedridden and struggling to even swallow.

“It was very sudden. I came home from work and went upstairs and found him on the bed, and he couldn’t move,” recalled Mary Jane. “At the hospital, they had no idea what was going on, but his temperature kept rising and his body started swelling.” Bob was placed in intensive care. Over the course of the next few weeks, the hospital struggled to diagnose his mysterious illness—ordering 12 MRIs, 6 CAT scans and 2 spinal taps. “They wanted to do a brain biopsy, but I refused,” Mary Jane said. “I didn’t want to put him through anything more because I thought he was going to die anyway. I think the medical professionals thought so too.” While Bob recalls very little from the experience, he does recollect hearing the nurses talk about him like he was going to die. “I just remember thinking that there was no way I was going to die in that hospital,” he said. “Things went uphill from there.” Bob’s improvements were remarkable and cause for celebration, but they also meant that he would soon be discharged from the hospital. Mary Jane knew she could never provide the care he needed in their home. “Bob could barely swallow. He couldn’t turn over or sit up.

When Bob and Mary Jane Bolle came to Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center (MVNRC), they were in crisis. Bob was recovering from a sudden and severe illness, and Mary Jane knew that she could not care for him in their home.

He was almost totally paralyzed, and they wanted to release him from the hospital,” Mary Jane remembered. “I knew I could not take care of him. My insurance wouldn’t pay for nursing care. I had no idea what to do.” Bob ultimately recalled that Bob DeMaria, one of the Bolle’s neighbors, was an Administrator at Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center. The next day, Mary Jane left a note on Bob’s door asking if they could take her husband as a private pay patient—immediately. He agreed and referred the Bolles to the business office, which even helped them get Medicare to pay for some of Bob’s care. During the next five months, Bob received the rehabilitation services that he needed—including physical, occupational and speech therapy. “I have nothing but the highest regard for MVNRC and the people who work there,” Bob said. “My primary caregivers were outstanding people who really got me going and kept me motivated.” Bob noted that the caregivers consistently provided exceptional care. “I had an old back injury that gave me a lot of trouble,” he recalled. “At first, I couldn’t really do the physical therapy because I was in so much pain by the time I got downstairs. So, they got creative and started doing the therapy in my room.” As Bob started to regain his strength, the physical therapists, nurses and assistants continued to push him to

reach his maximum potential. Mt. Vernon is different from other facilities in that therapy is available six or seven days a week, as opposed to the industry-standard five days a week. “Early on, having therapy so often meant a big difference for my recovery. I wasn’t allowed to regress. I was always encouraged to stay with it,” Bob said. With nearly daily physical therapy and round-the-clock care, Bob’s health continued to improve over the next several months. Gradually, Bob was able to begin walking with arm crutches. He also gained back most of the weight he had lost during his illness, returning to a healthy weight and regaining lost muscle mass. “The staff at MVNRC was incredible,” Bob concluded. “They were always willing to create and try anything and do anything they could to help me.” Bob came to Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center on a stretcher. Five months later, he walked out the front door and back into his life. While he continues to go to physical therapy and gain strength, he credits his miraculous recovery largely to the staff members at Mt. Vernon who were so committed to helping him heal. At MVNRC, “Restoring Life’s Balance” is more than a slogan. It is a commitment that is demonstrated every day by every staff member; it is a relentless dedication to helping every patient live his or her best life.

Seismic Shifts

By Christy Brudin

crisis—whether it is a natural disaster or a medical emergency—can change everything in a matter of minutes. Dr. Walter Hays has experienced this in both his professional and personal life. Now a resident at Tall Oaks, an assisted living community in Reston, Va., Walter is working to fundamentally alter the way seniors share their legacies. Tall Oaks provides comfortable and affordable senior apartments and assisted living care in a peaceful, wooded setting. A geophysicist, Walter spent much of his career at the U.S. Geological Survey, working on earthquake preparedness and post-disaster studies. Also a devoted husband, he recently experienced how a simple accident can change lives when his wife fell on the front porch of their home. “The earthquake happens in a matter of minutes, just like an accident happens in a matter of minutes, and it changes everything,” explained Walter. “Most of us are poorly prepared for the earthquake—for any kind of major change— even though we talk about it a lot.” Walter and his wife, Sylvia, are both natives of Texas and met in a small town there. The couple had two daughters and now has two grandchildren. Although Walter retired from the U.S. Geological Survey in 1999, he has continued working as a teacher. He currently teaches Physics to seniors at Fairfax Christian High School. Walter also prepares courses on global environmental disasters and earthquake preparedness for the World Health Organization and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. When Sylvia fell, she broke her hip and her wrist. She spent several days in the hospital and then several months at an inpatient rehabilitation facility. However, Walter knew she was not physically able to return home, so he began considering other options. He decided to visit Tall Oaks, which is just minutes from his home. “After some discussions, we decided to move in, and we’ve been here for a month now,” Walter said. “We already see that the people here really care. The residents receive such loving care, and the staff is outstanding.” While he moved so his wife could receive the care she needed, Walter quickly found that he enjoyed the company of his new peers. “There are so many unknown legacies here, so much untapped knowledge,” he said. “These are real stories, and they are amazing, and I don’t want them to be forgotten.” For that reason, Walter recently initiated a project to collect the life stories of his fellow residents before they are lost forever (see sidebar). Dr. Walter Hays has experienced quite a few earth shattering events over the course of his career and his life. Now that Walter has found an environment where his wife can flourish, he is dedicating his time to generating a more positive seismic shift—a shift in perceptions that unites generations and preserves legacies.

A Story to Tell Everyone has a story. But not everyone has a storyteller. Dr. Walter Hays is working to correct that discrepancy for his fellow residents at Tall Oaks, an assisted living community in Reston,Va. Dr. Hays is partnering with Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook and Herndon High School’s Writing Center to record the legacies of the residents of Tall Oaks. This project will match students in the high school’s advanced writing program with residents at Tall Oaks. The students will interview the residents and compose brief articles about their lives—focusing on capturing their legacies before they are lost. The student articles will be compiled into a book that can be shared with residents, families and visitors at Tall Oaks. The teachers at the writing center will then select one of the articles to be published in an upcoming edition of SourceBook. Ultimately, the “Lost Legacies” project will not only capture stories, it will also capture imaginations by connecting generations.

he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of. Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your

HOW TO

utilize real estate transactions

transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices

reparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving and setting up a new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing.

Step One: Preparing to sell or buy It is important that homeowners select a real estate agent who can meet their distinctive needs. The emergence of specialized real estate designations has made the process of choosing an agent easier. Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES) are licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. After finding a qualified agent, homeowners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase

selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home. Step Two: Packing and sorting Items should be sorted into distinct categories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away. The initial list of items to keep will likely be larger than the new space can accommodate. Moving professionals, however, can offer advice by taking into account their client’s personal tastes, the financial and sentimental value of possessions, and the new floor plan. Step Three: Moving For many, moving day is simple and rewarding due to comprehensive, customized real estate services provided prior to the sale of the house. On moving day, real estate professionals can recommend trusted companies to help with the physical aspects of moving, while providing assistance with the job of unpacking and setting up the new home. Challenges become choices As the challenges of moving fade due to increasingly helpful professionals, people are left with nothing but choices—where to move, when to move, what

to take and how to decorate the new home. Individuals considering a move are no longer faced with the difficult questions of how to market their homes and move their belongings, as there is help available every step of the way.

HOW TO

find an elder law attorney

utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela. org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask

more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue? n How long has the attorney been practicing?

What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n

HOW TO

discuss billing methods

understanding the fees and expenses involved

Attorneys may bill weekly, monthly or upon completion of work. Discuss how your attorney charges and how often he/she bills at your initial meeting. It is very important that you understand and feel comfortable in this area. Some attorneys charge by the hour with different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. If this is the case, find out what the rates are. Other attorneys charge a flat fee for all or part of the services, which is not unusual if you are having documents prepared. Your attorney might use Some attorneys charge by the hour with a combination of these methods. different hourly rates for work performed by In addition to fees, most attorneys attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. will charge you out-of-pocket expenses which can include charges for copies, calls and other such costs. Find out if postage, messenger fees, court fees, dis- there will be any other incidental costs. position fees, long distance telephone The attorney may ask for a retainer

(money paid before the attorney starts working on your case). Usually placed in a trust account, the attorney pays himself or herself out of that account each time you are billed. Expenses may be paid directly from the trust account. The size of the retainer may range from a small percentage of the estimated cost to the full amount. Ask that your arrangement with an attorney be put in writing either in a letter or formal contract that states the attorney’s services and what the fee and expense arrangement will be. Even if the agreement is oral, you are responsible for all charges for work done by the attorney and his/her staff.

HOW TO

understand estate planning and probate

elder law attorneys can help

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.

tate 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 specific gifts you want to make to family or non-family members and/or to charities. Once these decisions are made and

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.

E l d e r L Aw 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.

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. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), founded in 1987, is a national association of Elder Law Attorneys devoted to the education and training of attorneys who can meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, and who advocate for the needs of such individuals. The content of this article was originally published in a NAELA brochure and is being reprinted with permission. For more information, please visit, www.NAELA.org.

Lucy’s niece, Diane, and her husband, Bill, turned to DLEA for help. “It was immediately apparent that she wasn’t safe at home anymore, so we helped them review the options in their area and found an assisted living facility offering memory care that met their needs,” recalled Teresa Boring, a care manager and the Coordinator of the Debbie’s Angels program. Bill added, “DLEA provided stability for us and empathy for Lucy.“ DLEA handled all of the aspects of relocating Lucy and helping her adjust to her new home. As she was settling into her new home, DLEA also addressed how she could continue her Sunday evening routine, which meant so much to her. Lucy became a part of the Debbie’s Angels program and Liz Zarate, one of their concierge companions, began accompanying her to the restaurant every Sunday. “We go to the venue early, and she wants to stay until everyone leaves,” Liz says. “It’s so much fun for her, and definitely enhances her life. She gets so much out of being able to enjoy the music and stay connected with her friends.” Since Lucy’s move, her niece has passed away, so DLEA continues to work with Bill to ensure that she receives needed care and continues her special Sunday ritual, even as her dementia progresses. “Thank God they were there for us and are still there for me. They provide a service that is above and beyond expectations,” he said.

With the help of the Debbie’s Angels concierge companion service, Lucy is able to continue her beloved tradition of enjoying dinner and live music every Sunday.

Following a Pioneer Susy Elder Murphy and her staff continue to carry on Debbie’s mission of providing comprehensive, compassionate care management services to seniors and their families in the greater Washington, D.C. region. DLEA provides the help that is needed, whether it is advice and advocacy during a medical crisis or ongoing support to continue a beloved tradition. The staff of DLEA ensures that everyone receives the care they deserve—care worthy of an agency founded by a pioneer.

HOW TO

get help managing money

stop watching those statements and bills pile up

lder adults frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical bills are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers (DMMs) can help manage these concerns by monitoring their client’s accounts and outstanding bills, while also protecting against identity theft. What is Daily Money Management? Daily Money Management is a service that addresses an issue facing many senior citizens: handling paperwork that seems to expand endlessly. Daily Money Managers provide personal financial assistance to seniors, usually in the client’s home, while simultaneously safeguarding the valuable identity they’ve worked a lifetime to establish. What services does a Daily Money Manager offer? They offer an array of services, which

include balancing checkbooks, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. This kind of record keeping provides peace of mind for the client and, in some cases, for their family. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance providers have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health is identity protection. Several firms offer identity theft protection, fraud protection and other security-related services for seniors. “Seniors have a lot to lose, and often don’t have the background or tools to recognize or spot fraudulent activity quickly enough,” said David Poulos, Chief Marketing Officer of Senior Guardian Services based in Baltimore. “We can give seniors peace of mind by paying their routine invoices for them, reviewing bank statements, reviewing marketing offers and other incoming mail, and protecting them from being exploited.” Additionally, DMMs can help with in-

come tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions that often mean the client will pay lower taxes each year. How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend or colleague are a good place to start. If necessary, contact your local Area Agency on Aging for suggestions. The American Association of Daily Money Managers’ website (www. aadmm.com) can also provide valuable information that will help you find a reliable DMM. Once you have found a DMM you are interested in hiring, it is a good idea to ask about their experience and qualifications. It is especially important to know whether your DMM is bonded and insured. You also want to determine how the DMM you plan to hire bills for their work. Hourly fees vary by locale, but in this area, the average range is $55 to $100 per hour.

the keys to healthy living By Dr. Vivek Sinha

W n

e hear about “health” all the time. Television, radio, magazine articles, even friends and family have no shortage of tips and advice on how to get healthy. If one were to follow all that advice, then they would be hopping from one fad diet to another, cutting out carbs, sugar and gluten and running from gym to gym wearing nothing but the highest end sport shoes. So what is the safest, most effective way to improve your health? The answer varies by the person; for example, an 85-year-old man will have different needs than a 25-year-old woman. But there are some general points that are applicable across all patients. First, define what “health” means for you. Do you want to reduce or hopefully end your need for blood pressure medications? Do you want to be able to fit into smaller sized jeans? Do you want to keep up with your grandkids or run that 10K? Or do you simply want to feel better and hopefully live longer? After my patient has defined their goal, I usually spend some time obtaining objective data. Height and weight, blood pressure, heart rate, cholesterol level, sugar level and a detailed medical history are just a few of the data points that physicians use to risk stratify their

patients. Occasionally, if a patient’s numbers are very abnormal, they may need intervention (medications, cardiac clearance, etc.) prior to starting exercise. Second, getting healthier takes a planned approach that involves at least one lifestyle change. I usually advise my patients to prepare for a lifestyle change like they are preparing to go into battle. Formulate a game plan, gather your resources and have a start date. Tell your friends, family and coworkers about your plan, so they can keep you honest and motivated. Ideally, find someone to join you — helping someone else is a fantastic way to help yourself. Thirdly, exercise is essential. People may say that if you simply change the way you eat, you will lose weight. But not only will exercise jumpstart that weight loss, it also will help keep the weight off. I advise my patients to get a calendar, and each Sunday, circle the five days of the week when they will work out. They should also weigh themselves each morning and write that number on the corresponding date. One basic rule of exercise: do an activity that makes you sweat and do it for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, health cannot be achieved without proper nutrition. We need the appropriate fuel to think clearly and function at peak level. One of the worst things that we can do is to skip breakfast. When people skip breakfast, the

body has to get its fuel from muscle and not from fat. Six small meals a day maximize your metabolism. I advise patients to eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal. Ultimately, getting healthier is a journey. This journey takes commitment, but you do not have to take it alone. Talk to your doctor. They will provide plenty of practical, personalized advice on getting healthier. By working with your primary care physician, you can reach your goal safely and effectively.

evaluating physicians who offer house calls a guide for patients and families n By Eric Baron, MD

or every individual in a nursing home, there are three more people equally fragile and infirm living at home, according to the American Academy of Home Care Physicians (AAHCP). Physicians and medical groups specializing in house calls have become increasingly available to such patients. If you are unable to visit your own physician, house call physicians who come to your home can provide consultations to your doctor or serve as your private doctor. Because of changes in medical technology, a physician can come to your home with portable medical equipment and provide high-quality medical care. When it comes to finding a potential house call physician, Alan Dappen, MD with doctalker, recommends two methods - research and referrals. “The AAHCP is the largest house call organization in the country, and its website lists physicians in the academy by state and locality,” he says. “There are also hundreds of organizations that provide services to the elderly and many of them know physicians in the area that can do house calls.” Though there is a greater need for these physicians as more individuals prefer to age in place, Dappen says the options are

is the award winning medical practice that offers affordable, quality care, conveniently via phone, email consultations, same-day office visits and even house calls.

unfortunately limited in the Fairfax, Va., area. He and the medical team of doctalker have formed a transitional medical business model by emphasizing the doctor/patient relationship and making themselves available by phone 24/7 and performing house calls as requested. “More than 50 percent of the time, I can get you what you need immediately by phone,” says Dappen. “We’re creating a model where the doctor has the best information and can look things up instantly, whether it is a doctor you can consult, a lab you’d want to use, or the side effects of a drug.”

• Do you have a medical director and, if so, is the medical director present every day? • Are you Board-certified? “One of the easiest and most useful measurements of a physician is whether they are Board-certified,” says Dappen. “That way, you know they’re keeping up with their education and taking an exam every several years to remain certified.” If the physician answers "no" to any of these questions, however, you should consider calling your local Area Agency on Aging before letting the physician into your home.

Finding the Best Physician A higher quality of medical care results from good physicians who are well-supervised. With the following information, you can evaluate physicians specializing in house calls, so that you will be able to get the best physician possible to visit your home. To protect yourself and your family, it is vital to learn how to recognize poorlysupervised medical groups. The following questions are important to ask any physician offering to come to your home: • Is the physician who owns your medical group present every day at the local facility?

The AAHCP provides a list of its members and medical groups providing home care physician services as a public service. The listing is intended for informational purposes only. The AAHCP does not check the compliance of its members with licensing, billing or other regulatory requirements. It cannot attest to the qualifications and billing practices of individual physicians. Therefore, users should obtain information about licensure, qualifications and billing from the physicians and groups themselves.

working together

care managers and elder law attorneys partner to help clients n

by Buckley Fricker, J.D., CMC

Elder Law attorneys can handle all the legal needs of seniors and their families. Some Elder Law attorneys also act as a variety of agent-types, just like family members of clients. They can serve as Guardians, Conservators, POAs, and Trustees (hereafter simply known as “agents”). Sometimes the client’s family members are available to serve as agents, and do a great job. There are plenty of happily ever afters out there. Other times, though, there are no suitable family members available, either because there actually are none, or because they aren’t “suitable.” “Un-suitable” can result in a wide variety of scenarios, some of which are sadly comparable to either dark comedies or horror stories. Enter the Aging Life Care Manager also known as Care Managers or Geriatric Care Managers (GCMs). Aging Life Care Man-

agers are professional guides and advocates for families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults. On the national level, these professionals are represented by the Aging Life Care Association.

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

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 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.

Innovative Remodeling Enhances Independence

A high-end bathroom designed for accessibility

lickman Design Build of Rockville, Maryland knows that the most successful remodeling projects are the ones that not only look great, but also add functionality to the homeowners’ daily routine. Even better are designs that work well today while anticipating how members of the household will live in the space in the future – and that’s exactly the knowledge and expertise that sets Glickman apart from the competition. Here’s a look at a few recent solutions they’ve designed and built for clients. An accessible bathroom The award-winning bathroom remodel/renovation pictured above was truly unique. The client has ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease, and needed the bathroom in his 18th floor condo to be accessible. Working on a tight timeline – less than one month while the client was out of town – Glickman completely renovated and reinvented the space. Even with the logistics of demolition, the downtown location, 18th floor access and the limited time, the Glickman craftspeople were able to replace the originally installed tub and cabinets with a roll-in shower space, an accessible sink, beautiful tile work, storage, grab bars, and numerous fine details. The owner was delighted to have a space that was as functional as it was appealing…a complete success for all involved.

number one priority was to create a functional and attractive in-law suite featuring a bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchenette, all complete with accessible features. Also on their wish list was to update a powder room, convert a dated laundry room into a better functioning laundry/mudroom and in the kitchen add a breakfast nook, new hood above an existing range, and larger kitchen island. They also wanted to build a new deck in the back yard. Desired Details Even with that extensive must-have list, the owners also demanded a number of details to ensure that the home still felt cohesive and inviting. With that in mind, the Glickman Design team delighted the homeowners with a corner niche with glass tile accent, a curb-less shower with linear drain

and a filtered cold-water dispenser in the kitchenette. End Result The zero step entry addition and in- law suite fit seamlessly with the existing footprint of the home. Careful attention was paid to blend the new spaces and materials perfectly with those throughout the existing space. The homeowners now have ample, accessible living area for their parents’ visits, as well as a breakfast nook, larger island, powder room, laundry room/mudroom area and deck that the whole family can enjoy every day.

access benefits for veterans help is available for service members

ndividuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans.

Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances.

To be eligible, Veterans must: • Require the help of another person for everyday personal care needs (such as bathing, dressing, or toileting); or • Be bedridden; or • Live in a nursing home and be physically or mentally incapacitated; or • Have poor eyesight (5/200 corrected visual acuity or less in both eyes). The VA also offers a Housebound Allowance to certain eligible Veterans who are restricted to their residence because of a permanent disability. This additional monthly monetary benefit can be used to help pay for needed care services provided in the Veteran’s home. To apply for either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including

a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387).

Active Adult Communities

retirees, but are not limited to those who have stopped working. Many residents continue to put in hours at work, while others fully explore long-lost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with favorite hobbies and group activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. When researching active adult communities, you can start by requesting an information packet from every option you

Featured on Page

Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. The amenity filled communities are often adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several active adult residences are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. This continuum of care allows active adults to make the most of the present while planning for the future. These communities are residences full of options, and most of the costs are included in the living fees. They are ideal for

are considering. Make sure to read them carefully, and keep them all organized in a folder or file cabinet. Once you’ve narrowed down your options by perusing the brochures, schedule visits to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

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 shortterm nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all longterm nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life, and assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

HOW TO

understand entrance fees

knowing the options when paying for ccrcs Most CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement de-

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

communities offering cottage-style living The transition to a retirement community can be exciting, affording residents a low-maintenance lifestyle; new friends; and access to clubs, amenities and healthcare. However, for older adults who have lived their lives in a neighborhood full of single-family homes, the move to a highrise style community can be intimidating and challenging. Many local communities offer cottage-style living options that will allow residents to feel right at home from day one. Most cottage-style options are part of

larger communities that also offer apartment-style units, as well as a vast array of amenities. Residents are able to enjoy the amenities of the community, while benefiting from the added privacy and more spacious living areas that cottage-style residences provide. Many cottages offer garages or covered parking, as well as some yard space. The following list, compiled by SourceBook, includes the continuing care retirement communities in the region that offer cottage-style living.

HOW TO

live independently

communities offer security with no home maintenance

he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help. What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or singlefamily development, except that they provide special services, including secu-

rity — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote

socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed.

HOW TO

understand rental options

what is available and how to qualify

ccording to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level qualifies, at a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs

include public housing or low-income housing that is owned and operated by a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned

Assisted Living

HOW TO

choose assisted living

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

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 varies widely depending on the location and the facility amenities. However, there are affordable or subsidized options available in most areas. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.

Area Agencies on Aging can provide information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs for assisted living/personal care.

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

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

AssiSted Living

What is Person-Centered Living? The non-profit national advocacy organization previously known as the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL) is now known as CCAL-Advancing Person-Centered Living. They helped coin the term “person-centered living” that is now commonly heard in the assisted living and personal care field. While the term may be familiar to professionals, it may still be confusing to consumers who are just beginning to investigate assisted living/personal care options. So what is person-centered living? CCAL coined the term person-centered living (PCL) as a reminder that as people grow older or have disabilities they should not experience a loss of humanity or choice regardless of where they live. PCL means living as one chooses to. PCL is based on humanistic beliefs that every individual has a unique background, human experience, and the right to determine how to live his/her own life. PCL is also relationship-based and focused on supporting the individual’s emotional, social, physical and spiritual well being (e.g., belonging, experiencing a continuation of self-worth, purpose, meaning, enjoyment, comfort and opportunities for growth).

Assisted Living

CCAL upholds the PCL principle, “Nothing About Me Without Me.” This simple phrase means that every elder and individual with a disability is provided choice, privacy, dignity, respect, independence and autonomy. Elders and individuals with disabilities have the right to determine their needs; decide how best to have those needs met; and give feedback about the quality and nature of the care, services and supports they receive. If support is needed, supports are centered on their personal preferences and values that honor their selfhood. A person-centered culture is nurturing, empowering and respectful, and it optimizes the well being of not only the elder and individual with a disability but also the family and larger caregiving and/or services and support network. Ultimately, person-centered living means being kind, respectful and sensitive to those being served and honoring their right to make their own choices, regardless of the setting.

The Cost of Aging

Credit: MPH@GW, the online master of public health degree offered through the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University

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.

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.

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, 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. 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— 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 108

Understanding Assisted Living in the District of Columbia and Maryland

District of Columbia: There are currently 16 licensed Assisted Living Residences in the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia Department of Health Regulation and Licensing defines an Assisted Living Residence, or ALR, as any entity, whether public or private, for profit or not for profit that combines housing, health, and personalized assistance, in accordance to individually-developed service plans, for the support of individuals who are not related to the owner or operator of the entity. An Assisted Living Residence does not include a group home for mentally retarded persons as defined in section 2(5) of the Health-Care and Community Residence Facility, Hospice and Home Care Licensure Act of 1983, or a mental health community residence facility as that term is used in Chapter 38 of Title 22 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations. Source: http://hrla.doh.dc.gov/hrla/ Maryland: In Maryland, an assisted living provider is defined as: A residential or facility-based provider that provides housing and supportive services, supervision, personalized assistance,

health-related services, or a combination of these services to meet the needs of residents who are unable to perform, or who need assistance in performing, the activities of daily living or instrumental activities of daily living, in a way that promotes optimum dignity and independence for the residents. (Code of Maryland Regulations 10.07.14.02B(10). There are a wide variety of assisted living providers in Maryland. They range from large, corporate-managed facilities where hundreds of people live in their own apartments to small, private homes in which the owners provide services to two residents who may share a bedroom. What all of these providers have in common, however, is they all offer their residents some level of assistance with their daily activities, such as dressing, bathing and eating. Levels of Care Assisted living facilities in Maryland are licensed to provide up to three levels of care. The levels correspond with how much assistance residents need. Licensure at level one means the provider is authorized to take care of residents with low care needs. A level two license means the provider can

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

Assisted Living

Understanding Assisted Living in Virginia According to the Virginia Department of Social Services, Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) are non-medical residential settings that provide or coordinate personal and health care services; 24-hour supervision; and assistance for the care of four or more adults who are aged, infirm or disabled. This care may be provided in one or more locations. Assisted living facilities are not nursing homes. A nursing home is a facility in which the primary function is the provision, on a continuing basis, of nursing services and health-related services for the treatment and inpatient care of two or more non-related individuals. Nursing homes are regulated by the Virginia Department of Health.

Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Waiver The Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Waiver is available to individuals who are 55 years of age or older and who have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, but no diagnosis of a serious mental illness or mental retardation/ intellectual disability. In addition, the individual must be living in (or willing to move to) an assisted living facility instead of a nursing home, and also be receiving (or be eligible to receive) an Auxiliary Grant.

HOW TO

find residential living

a more close-knit way of life Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and serv-

ing of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. Small assisted living facilities allow As with any community, it is impor- residents to maintain independence. tant to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their For more information, a comprehensive families.

HOW TO

evaluate nursing care

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

Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a difficult day for most. Reassurance from family and friends that love and contact will be maintained can ease the transition. The following steps may help lessen the trauma of this change: n

Talk about the admission in advance and describe the home in detail.

Visit the home with the prospective resident beforehand and get to know the administration.

Involve the prospective resident as much as possible in the decision-making process.

Decide together what items to bring to the nursing home.

Be available the entire day of admission to help settle the resident and provide support.

paying for nursing home care Nursing home care can be expensive. There are many ways you can pay for nursing home care. For example, you can use your own money, you may be able to get help from your state, or you may use long-term care insurance. Most people who enter nursing homes begin by paying for their care out-of-pocket. As you use your resources (like bank accounts and stocks) over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid. Will Medicare pay for nursing home care? Medicare generally doesn’t cover long-term care stays in a nursing home. Even if it doesn’t cover nursing home care, you’ll need health coverage for hospital care, doctor services, and medical supplies while you’re in the nursing home. Part A covers skilled care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Skilled care is nursing and therapy care that can only be safely and effectively performed by, or under the supervision of, professionals or technical personnel. It’s health care given when you need skilled nursing or skilled therapies to

treat, manage, and observe your condition, and evaluate your care. Medicare covers certain daily skilled care services on a short-term basis (up to 100 days in a benefit period). For more information on Medicare’s coverage of SNF care, visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Personal resources You can use your personal money

paying for nursing ... Continued from page 133

Help from your state (Medicaid) Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Most, but not all, nursing homes accept Medicaid payment. Even if you pay out-of-pocket or with longterm care insurance, you eventually may “spend down” your assets while you’re at the nursing home, so it’s good to know whether the home will accept Medicaid. Check with the nursing home to see if they accept people with Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary state to state. Most often, eligibility is based on your income and personal resources. Many states have higher Medicaid income limits for nursing home residents. You may be eligible for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home even if you haven’t qualified for

other Medicaid services in the past. Sometimes you won’t be eligible for Medicaid until you’ve spent some of your personal resources on health care. Generally, even if you’re eligible for Medicaid, all of your income (except for a monthly personal needs allowance and amounts considered necessary to support your spouse and family living in the

community) will go to pay your nursing home expenses and Medicaid will cover the rest. To get more information on Medicaid eligibility in your state, call your local Medicaid office.

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 longterm care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints Continued on page 136

against specific long-term 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 longterm care providers. An Ombudsman can inform consumers of their rights and long-term care providers of their responsibilities.

What Can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint investigation and negotiation. The counseling received from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help individuals become an advocate for themselves or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to complaints and then offer information and referrals via the telephone, email or at an in-person visit to a long-term care facility.

If the concern requires a formal investigation, the Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He/ she will gather facts and relevant information to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem. This article was adapted from www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program in detail.

Medicare Eligibility and Coverage To be eligible for Medicare-covered Skilled Nursing Care, you must meet several conditions: n You have Part A and have days left in your benefit period. n You have a qualifying hospital stay. n Your doctor has decided that you need daily skilled care given by, or under the direct supervision of, skilled nursing or therapy staff. If you’re in the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for skilled rehabilitation services only, your care is considered daily care even if these therapy services are offered just 5 or 6 days a week, as long as you need and get the therapy services each day they’re offered. n You get these skilled services in a SNF that’s certified by Medicare. n You need these skilled services for a medical condition that was either: -A hospital-related medical condition. - A condition that started while you were getting care in the skilled nursing facility for a hospital-related medical condition.

If you meet all of the above conditions, your SNF stay will be covered under Original Medicare according to the following guidelines: n For Days 1- 20: $0 in 2017 for each benefit period n For Days 21-100: $164.50 coinsurance per day of each benefit period in 2017 n Days 101 and beyond: all costs.

best design practices for dementia care facilities Perkins Eastman Research Collaborative and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) recently published a white paper, “Excellence in Design: Optimal Living Space for People With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.” Release of this report comes as incidence of Alzheimer’s disease is escalating nationwide. Currently, it is estimated that more than 5 million Americans are living with the brain disorder, and that number is expected to triple by mid-century. Together, Perkins Eastman and the AFA developed “Excellence in Design” with the goal of fostering a continuous dialogue within the architectural and interior design community, as well as the long-term care industry about how best to design supportive and therapeutic residential settings for the dementia population. AFA originally approached Perkins Eastman to explore the intersection of dementia care and forward-thinking

senior housing design. The resulting report illustrates how experts’ evolved understanding of the disease has inspired the design of flexible facilities with firstrate amenities and high-quality, personcentered care that allow individuals to live comfortably and with dignity. “Excellence in Design” offers step-bystep guidelines to enhance the physical environment to support a person’s remaining abilities and provide a safe, supportive, enriching, empowering and person-centered care setting. The report also details all aspects of an environment’s impact on daily living. “Everyone wants—and deserves—a supportive place he or she can call home,” says Emily Chmielewski EDAC, an Associate with Perkins Eastman and the report’s author. “Our goal in developing this report was to present a philosophy of both care and design that will help change the long-term care landscape to meet the needs of residents, their families and professional caregivers.” According to Carol Steinberg, AFA’s Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

president and a key contributor to the report, “We are enormously grateful to the Perkins Eastman team for taking on this important project. Where and how people with dementia live is an essential conversation, from medical, economic, social and practical perspectives.” Steinberg continues, “In the absence of a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, care is critical. This report presents practical building blocks for improving the overall care experience both for residents and their families.” The full report is available online: http://www.alzfdn.org/documents/ ExcellenceinDesign_Report.pdf. The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (www.alzfdn.org) is a national non-profit organization that unites more than 1,700 member organizations nationwide with the goal of providing optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families. Perkins Eastman is among the top design and architecture firms in the world.

HOW TO

choose alzheimer’s care

a special care residence may be the right option Certification 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 should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit.

Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety. Researching special care residences can ensure your loved one will receive the proper support he/she needs.

There’s no getting around it: dementia is hard on everyone involved.

But it is possible to lessen the load. We’re here to help with a progressive approach to assisted living for memory loss that redefines the traditional approach to memory care, bringing peace of mind to everyone in your family. At Arbor Terrace Fairfax our experienced staff creates an individual plan for each resident based on their needs and guides them through activities that help them have meaningful moments.

Put our experience to work for your family.

know symptoms of alzheimer’s

the alzheimer’s association provides the common signs

Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s, a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor.

1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s typical? Sometimes forgetting

names or appointments, but remembering miliar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorthem later. ite game. 2. Challenges in planning or What’s typical?

alzheimer’s: the facts and figures

alzheimer’s association report sheds new light on scope of disease According to the 2013 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia in the United States. The report shows that while deaths from other major diseases, such as heart disease, HIV/AIDS and stroke, continue to experience significant declines, Alzheimer’s deaths continue to rise – increasing 68 percent from 2000-2010. “Unfortunately, today there are no Alzheimer’s survivors. If you have Alzheimer’s disease, you either die from it or die with it,” said Harry Johns, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association. “Now we know that one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Urgent, meaningful action is necessary, particularly as more and more

people age into greater risk for developing a disease that today has no cure and no way to slow or stop its progression.” Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and is the only leading cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. Based on 2010 data, Alzheimer’s was reported as the underlying cause of death for 83,494 individuals – individuals who died from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures reveals that in 2013 an estimated 450,000 people in the United States will die with Alzheimer’s. The true number of deaths caused by Alzheimer’s is likely to be somewhere between the officially reported number of those dying from and those dying with Alzheimer’s.

Human and Financial Toll of Alzheimer’s More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Without the development of medical breakthroughs that prevent, slow or stop the disease, by 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease could reach 13.8 million. Previous estimates suggest that number could be high as 16 million. Alzheimer’s and dementia place an enormous burden on individuals and families. In 2012, there were more than 15 million caregivers who provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion. Individuals with dementia often require increasing levels of supervision and personal care as the disease progresses. As symptoms exac-

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

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.

als and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends.

Hospice

Finding a Support Group Many grieving people wonder if they would benefit from joining a support group. Support groups are a time-tested method of help for people struggling with all sorts of difficulties. But groups are not magic: there are no words that can be uttered within a group setting that can make grief disappear.

Will a support group help? Groups are places to work together to support one another; they are places where everyone gives and takes. Not everyone will find a support group suitable; each individual grieves in his or her own way. For many, however, support groups have much to offer, such as: Validation: Grief is experienced in so many ways -- physical, emotional, and spiritual. One needs a place to recognize that these reactions are part of the journey of grief. Being with other grieving people can reaffirm that one is not going crazy. While every loss is unique, through support groups one can bask in the support of others who have experienced loss and understand. Time away: For many people, their support group can be a break in the loneliness and the boredom that often come with grief. Suggestions for coping: There is no one solution to dealing with loss; members of a support groups can offer a range of alternatives. By listening to stories of how others cope with a particular problem, one can find the solution that might work best. Support groups offer two other gifts. They provide hope by providing models that reaffirm that one can survive loss. Participating in a support group can also help the griever find new empathy, new understandings, and renewed strength.

How to find a group Most hospices provide grief support groups, even to those who didn’t use hospice services. Funeral homes, hospitals, and places of worship will also have grief support resources and may be able to point to a support group. There are also national grief support organizations with local chapters that host support groups.

Hospice

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

HOW TO

remain at home

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

Since 1989

28th Anniversary

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

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

Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n

understanding telemedicine a game changer for Senior Health Care

arry, a 72-year-old retirement home resident with high blood pressure, is experiencing a host of unpleasant side effects with his latest medication. Through a brief twoway video call, Larry consults with his regular physician, who writes him a new prescription. Going forward, he and his doctor chat weekly via video teleconference to make sure he is adjusting well to the new drug. This regular, personalized interaction allows Larry to get the monitoring he needs while avoiding the hassle of weekly doctor visits. Although the story above is fictitious, scenarios just like this are happening all across the nation in growing frequency. While health care for retirees once meant repeated trips to the doctor’s office, many are now able to receive high-

quality medical services without leaving Beyond offering convenience for both the comfort of home. And it’s all because patients and caregivers, telemedicine of telemedicine. has a number of compelling advantages: What is telemedicine? Telemedicine (or “telehealth”) is described as “the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status.” This high-tech patient care model is quickly gaining traction as a means for lowering costs while improving health care quality — particularly among aging populations. The benefits The objective of telemedicine is to create a distance health care experience that mirrors the quality and comprehensiveness of a traditional office visit.

Less waiting and faster response. For retirees with health issues — and their caregivers, who are often pressed for time — long waits in physician offices can be excruciating. Telemedicine eliminates waiting room tedium and enables more timely response from health care professionals through email, text message, and other electronic channels. Lower costs. Many doctors actually charge less for a telehealth consultation than they do for an in-person visit. What’s more, telehealth can reduce costs associated with travel and provide easier access to medi-

One study determined that telemedicine could collectively save U.S. nursing homes $479 million annually by reducing transportation costs related to in-person physician office visits. Reduced hospital readmissions. The University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville created a telehealth program that combines real-time data with remote patient monitoring (RPM) for those discharged with heart failure, pneumonia, COPD, a recent heart attack, or a hip or knee replacement. When nurses are alerted to any problems via the monitoring system, they contact the patient by phone or, if needed, make an in-home visit. Only a year after instituting the program, the facility saw a reduction in its 30-day readmission to about 10 percent, in contrast with the national average of 17.5 percent.

assistive technology can help

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 re-

main 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 other loved ones and still have peace of mind. By working with loved ones and professionals, seniors can easily create secure environments where they can age in place.

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. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicarecertified agency. Prices for home health care vary widely. 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 ben-

efits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also cover 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.

Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid.

Dear Marci, What is a health care proxy? - Antoine (Annapolis, MD) Dear Antoine, A health care proxy is a document that appoints another person to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to do so. This person is called a proxy or an agent. Naming a health care agent is one of the most important things you can do to ensure that you always receive the health care you prefer. Typically, you do not have to be terminally ill for a health care proxy to go into effect. If you do not appoint a health care proxy and cannot make health care decisions, state law determines who can make decisions on your behalf. Most

marci’s medicare answers states have laws that let close family members and others (surrogates) act on your behalf if you haven’t appointed a health care agent, but you may not want these people to make decisions for you. As long as you give your agent permission, they will usually have the flexibility to make most treatment decisions for you and access your medical records. When choosing a health care agent, it’s important to appoint someone: • Who you trust. • Who knows you well and understands your medical preferences. • Who will be assertive in making decisions. • Who will honor your wishes. Things you should discuss with your health care agent: • Personal attitudes towards health, illness, dying, and death, • Religious beliefs,

• Feelings about doctors and other caregivers, • Feelings about palliative care versus life-sustaining treatments like artificial nutrition and hydration, and • Treatment preference if you are unconscious for a long time and not expected to recover. If there is no one you trust to make health care decisions for you, you don’t have to name anyone as your agent. You can instead create a living will to advise your doctors about your preferences. A health care proxy generally only gives your agent the power to make medical decisions for you. Decisions about things such as health insurance may be considered a financial, not medical, decision depending on state law. It’s generally best to consult with a lawyer to appoint a power of attorney for those types of decisions. You don’t need a lawyer to write a

health care proxy. You can use a standardized form and tailor it to your needs, but make sure that it meets all of your state’s legal requirements. Discuss the document with your health care agent and your loved ones. Give a copy of the document to your health care agent and to your providers. These conversations can be difficult, but creating a health care proxy can help individuals be prepared for different health care situations. —Marci Marci’s Medicare Answers is a service of the Medicare Rights Center (www.medicarerights.org), the nation’s largest independent source of information and assistance for people with Medicare.

The care you need

Understanding Home Health Care Benefits

at a moment’s The care you need notice.

When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover.

at a moment’s notice.

First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following:

The care you need

• Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.)

at a moment’s notice.

Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and laundry. Also not included are home-delivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care.

professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life becomes too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such

specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing remodeling projects and addressing common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS is that they draw from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized

and thorough plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typical modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites

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

CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.

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

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

key components of this network, which serves seven million Americans age 60 and over as well as 325,000 caregivers, are the Administration on Aging, the State Units of Aging, and the Area Agencies on Aging.

R e a l-L i f e Story

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

their sporting events and other activities. The family also enjoyed many wonderful vacations, including frequent trips to Hershey Park. Prior to retiring in 2002, Charles enjoyed a long and successful career as a government contractor with the highest

planning for the care you need at home

I n

by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff, CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care AssociationTM Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy

f you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home.

What if You Become Homebound?

If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life Care Manager™ can help you access licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and discharge planner if you are in the hospital or a nursing facility and need to decide on and plan for services in your home once you are discharged. However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services.”

You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety.

Accessing services

These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health agency certified to provide Medicare-reimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospital-based organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization.

Other Home Care Services

Many other care services are provided in the home but are not licensed or paid for by Medicare. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you understand what they can offer, access reputable services, and monitor them on an on-going basis.

Non-Medical Aides, Companions and Homemakers

There are many types of paid care giving services available—often called non-

medical aides, companions and homemakers—who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes, and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability insurance and is responsible for all employment taxes and employee bonding. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable agency and get important questions answered, such as: do they check police and driver license records; do they provide supervision; how do they handle cancellations; and how long have they been in business?

Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland

ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “Home-Based Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health, such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide home care services throughout Maryland.

Home Health Agencies

staff may provide care based on your needs. Home health agencies participate in the Medicare program and many health insurance programs include a home health benefit.

Nurse Referral Service Agencies (NRSA)

These agencies screen and refer licensed nurses, home health aides, homemakers, live-in caretakers, and companions for individuals needing help in their home. The person seeking assistance contracts directly with the individual who will provide the service and may pay the agency or the provider for services.

Home health agencies provide nurs- Residential Services ing services, home health aides and one Agencies (RSA) or more other services such as physical RSAs provide supportive home care therapy, occupational therapy or social services, that is, assistance with ADLs services. Several kinds of health care and/or housekeeping services. They

may provide one or more home care services, such as provision of oxygen or medical equipment, which includes wheelchairs, walkers and hospital beds. An RSA cannot participate in the Medicare Program; however, Level III RSAs can provide skilled nursing services. RSAs employ all their caregivers, while NRSAs do not. The person seeking assistance contracts with the agency. RSA services are sometimes paid for by the person using services, but are generally covered under long-term care insurance policies and may be paid through medical insurance in some circumstances.

We can help with that. Since 1968, Family & Nursing Care has helped older adults maintain their independence and quality of life as they age.

“All of the caregivers were amazing—they were always patient, caring, helpful, and kind. I could not imagine going through this without your help.” – Wendy G., Client’s Spouse, Rockville, MD

Continued from page 11

Even after Aileen got sick, I continued to see her and she deftly avoided any questions about her health or her ongoing cancer treatments. No matter what was really going on, Aileen always had a smile and a great story to tell. The last time I saw Aileen was just a few days before she passed away. Her voice was weak, and she looked exhausted from fighting the cancer. But she still smiled. I said, “I love you so much, Aileen.” She whispered, “I love you, sweet Chrissy.” That was goodbye. Aileen was a truly special human being. While she never met a stranger, her real gift was turning strangers into friends. Aileen made friends easily, and she made friends forever. In fact, she had more best friends than most people have acquaintances. Ultimately, Aileen England was not just my best friend—she was a best friend for all. And we are all lucky to have known her.

Aileen with Sourcebook co-workers and friends: Marlene Zaborsky, Steve Gurney and Lauren Searson.

HOW TO

find daytime supervision

centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers

dult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers, as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis.

Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the

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 easyto-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.

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.
