An Award for the Ages
T
here’s no place like home. This old cliché really hit home with me when my hometown of Reston, Va., was named one of America’s Best Intergenerational
Communities. Presented by MetLife Foundation and Generations United, these annual awards are designed to heighten awareness of the importance of intergenerational communities. They are a vital step toward the realization that we can—and should—live together at all ages. Reston, Virginia is a world-renowned planned community conceived by Robert E. Simon and founded in 1964. In 2014, the community is marking Simon’s 100th birthday and the community’s 50th anniversary. One of Reston’s guiding principles is to promote the ability to live in the same community throughout life. Dedicated to being age-intentional, Reston has no senior centers. Instead, older adult programming is blended with those for children and youth at the Reston Community Center. Additionally, an initiative known as “Reston for a Lifetime” brings together more than a dozen different organizations, all of which focus on providing intergenerational support and engagement. I am immensely proud to call a community home that has brought to life so many of my own personal beliefs and principles. After nearly three decades in the retirement living business, I am proud to say that I have witnessed a remarkable culture shift in how we perceive—and care for— our nation’s older residents. Gone are the days where grandma was sent to an “old folk’s home” to live out her days lying in a bed, or relegated to her children’s basement to watch T.V. Today’s seniors have literally redefined what it means to grow older—and grow is now the operative word. These amazing individuals are living longer, healthier and happier than ever before. They are finding new passions, pursuing new activities and inspiring the next generation. From local programs to national move-
Top: Reston community members accept the award for Best Intergenerational Community. Bottom Right: Publisher Steve Gurney’s children, Asa and Ashley, with Bob Simon (also bottom left).
ments, I am so thrilled to see an increasing focus on programs and communities that bring generations together. I learned first hand how important intergenerational communities can be when I lived in a retirement community with my then 6-yearold son. We both had a blast and learned a lot. Increasingly, local retirement communities and senior service providers are encouraging and fostering these intergenerational connections, and I think their efforts will ultimately benefit us all. After all, eliminating age boundaries creates more opportunities for everyone. While I want to congratulate my hometown for this accomplishment, I also see this as an opportunity to encourage other communities to join Reston in the movement toward a future where all generations live, work and thrive together. Age should not separate us. The possibility to learn
from and grow with another generation should bring us all together. At Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, we remain committed to helping seniors and their families find the resources they need to create the retirement of their dreams. These pages are filled with thousands of resources to meet the needs of every retiree. We also are deeply committed to promoting intergenerational communities—where residents are valued based on their abilities and their contributions, not the number of years they have put behind them. Sure, there’s no place like home, but there’s really nothing like a home shared by people of all ages.
Wishing you all the best this holiday season

Dr. Majid Fotuhi and his team of experts at the NeurExpand Brain Center help patients like Sheila Durant improve their memory, focus and overall mental capacity.

emorizing facts. Taking tests. Playing games. That’s what the attendees at NeurExpand Brain Center are doing. It may sound like they are in school, but they are in fact patients at a world-class brain fitness center that is putting scientific research into practice to improve memory and related brain functions. NeurExpand’s Brain Fitness Program helps middle-aged and older individuals increase their brain size and prolong mental clarity. The program enhances the brain’s ability to change and adapt, called neuroplasticity, which helps protect the organ from the negative impacts of aging and allows it to recover more quickly in the event of illness or injury. In particular, the medical program focuses on growing and strengthening the region of the brain critical to short-term memory—called the hippocampus. Based on peer-reviewed research, NeurExpand’s Brain Fitness Program is a unique treatment program staffed by leading neurologists. Dr. Majid Fotuhi, founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Center, developed the science-based 26

treatment program in 2011 to help patients retrain their brains and reclaim their lives. The program is covered by Medicare and most major insurance providers. A full-service neurology practice, NeurExpand has offices in Lutherville, Md., and Columbia, Md.—and plans to open a new clinic in Chevy Chase, Md. in May and to expand the practice to Northern Virginia and other sites in the near future. One of NeurExpand’s patients, who asked to remain anonymous, is a 79-year-old man with a family history of both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. When his daughter expressed concerns about his memory and recommended that he be evaluated by NeurExpand, he was enthusiastic. He wanted to avoid what felt like an inevitable future decline. After initial testing, he was qualified for NeurExpand’s 12week Brain Fitness Program. Now one month into the program, he has already achieved remarkable results. “They started me out with a list of maybe 15 words to remember. They taught me how to group them and use different devices to memorize them. The other day, I was able to memorize 50 words,” noted the patient.

health evaluation, including an MRI, an EEG brain mapping, neurocognitive evaluation, blood tests and a sleep evaluation. Using this detailed information, the clinical team develops tailored treatment regimens for each patient. The custom programs can include memory training, cognitive therapy, neurofeedback therapy, medication changes, stress reduction therapies, and treatments for insomnia and sleep apnea. The Brain Center’s ideal patient is between 45 and 90 years of age and experiencing memory loss but still functioning independently, Dr. Fotuhi explained. While the Center’s neurologists can care for patients with advanced Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, they achieve the best results with individuals who are experiencing memory problems, attention deficits, or a lack of confidence in their brain function, as well as patients who are suffering with side effects from a concussion, surgery or stroke. “We help patients maximize the brain performance they already have and then we help them increase their overall brain capacity,” Dr. Fotuhi explained. “We are literally helping people
increase their brain volume, focusing on the parts of the brain that control thinking, problem solving and memory, and we can measure the results using MRIs.” Since founding NeurExpand, Dr. Fotuhi has watched countless patients make remarkable turnarounds. Recently, he helped an 89-year-old man who was hallucinating and unable to walk when he came to the Center improve so dramatically that he is now able to hold conversations and walk without a cane. The man’s customized treatment program included modifications to his medications and his diet, in addition to cognitive treatments. “These patients are not exceptions,” Dr. Fotuhi noted with pride. “The average person who goes through our program experiences amazing improvements. I watch this happen every day.” For Dr. Fotuhi and his team at NeurExpand Brain Center, every day is filled with possibilities. Using their vast expertise and training, they are helping patients achieve positive results by focusing on the body’s most vital organ. They are changing lives by training brains.

The hippocampus is a small area of the brain with a huge impact on memory and information processing abilities. In this case, the enlargement is so significant that it can be seen by the naked eye.

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela. org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask
more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue? n How long has the attorney been practicing?
What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n

HOW TO
prepare legal documents
advance directives that put your affairs in order Advance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury. Finding an Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address legal nuances, personal prefer-

ences and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any
medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

Gift and Estate Taxes: The annual gift tax exclusion continues at $14,000. This means a wealthy relative can give away gifts totaling $14,000 per year, per individual, and the benefactor will not incur a tax. If your relative is in a really generous spirit, he can, upon his death, bequeath up to and including $5.34 million with no tax penalty to the recipient. The $5.34 million is a lifetime tax exclusion for gifts. This cap also applies to generation-skipping gifts.

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

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

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

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

HOW TO
get help managing money
stop watching those statements and bills pile up
O
lder adults frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical bills are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers (DMMs) can help manage these concerns by monitoring their client’s accounts and outstanding bills, while also protecting against identity theft. What is Daily Money Management? Daily Money Management is a service that addresses an issue facing many senior citizens: handling paperwork that seems to expand endlessly. Daily Money Managers provide personal financial assistance to seniors, usually in the client’s home, while simultaneously safeguarding the valuable identity they’ve worked a lifetime to establish. What services does a Daily Money Manager offer? They offer an array of services, which
include balancing checkbooks, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. This kind of record keeping provides peace of mind for the client and, in some cases, for their family. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance providers have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health is identity protection. Several firms offer identity theft protection, fraud protection and other security-related services for seniors. “Seniors have a lot to lose, and often don’t have the background or tools to recognize or spot fraudulent activity quickly enough,” said David Poulos, Chief Marketing Officer of Senior Guardian Services based in Baltimore. “We can give seniors peace of mind by paying their routine invoices for them, reviewing bank statements, reviewing marketing offers and other incoming mail, and protecting them from being exploited.” Additionally, DMMs can help with in-
come tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions that often mean the client will pay lower taxes each year. How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend or colleague are a good place to start. If necessary, contact your local Area Agency on Aging for suggestions. The American Association of Daily Money Managers’ website (www. aadmm.com) can also provide valuable information that will help you find a reliable DMM. Once you have found a DMM you are interested in hiring, it is a good idea to ask about their experience and qualifications. It is especially important to know whether your DMM is bonded and insured. You also want to determine how the DMM you plan to hire bills for their work. Hourly fees vary by locale, but in this area, the average range is $40.00 to $80.00 per hour.

HOW TO
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it With the complex maze of senior living resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/ or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved one are primary candidates for a geriatric care manager. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropri-
ate without causing undo stress. Instead of waiting for a crisis situation, you may want to turn to a GCM earlier, so that there are more options available. What Can a GCM Do for Me? COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. Utilizing their professional backgrounds and experience, care managers are able to perform an unbiased evaluation of the client’s mental, physical, social, financial and legal functioning. RECOMMENDATIONS. After determining what services would be helpful for the well-being of the individual, the GCM can recommend providers who will best meet the family’s needs. Familiar with industry standards, they routinely make recommendations for all levels of care. COUNSELING. The counseling that
Celebrating
GCMs can provide helps clients and their families handle the emotional stress involved with these decisions. They provide the family with information about the illness or challenge that the client faces and the available resources. MEDIATION. GCMs can also negotiate family dynamics, helping to sort out all of the various concerns that have resulted from the challenge of caring for a loved one. FOLLOW-UP VISITS. GCMs are generally involved in the implementation of the care plan. This typically includes follow-up visits to the individual’s home or facility a couple of times a week shortly after implementation and quarterly thereafter. Some clients are visited once a week for the duration of their services. Visit caremanager.org for more information.

HOW TO
consider a gcm and costs
finding the right care manager and discussing fees When considering a GCM, take into account their professional standing, as well as their personality and how comfortable they make their clients. Although there is no official licensure process for care managers, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM) has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as GCM referrals can be obtained at www.caremanager.org. How Much Will It Cost? According to the NAPGCM website, there are many different ways of charging fees and each GCM works differently. You will need to know how often s/he bills. Some GCMs bill weekly, some bill monthly, some bill upon completion of
work. Ask about these matters at the initial conference and ask for them in writing, so there will be no surprises. If you don’t understand, ask again. If you need clarification, say so. It is very important that you feel comfortable regarding your financial obligations. In addition to fees, most GCMs will charge for out-of-pocket expenses, which may include charges for mileage, care giving supplies, long-distance telephone calls, etc. Find out if there will be any other incidental costs. There may also be additional fees if outside professionals are called into the case. It is imperative that the GCM receives approval to bring others in before the situation arises, if at all possible. As mentioned on the NAPGCM website,
Individualized Services for the Elderly and Disabled
make sure you have all questions answered before proceeding with an agreement for services. You should receive a written agreement including fees before the commencement of services. Since fees for a GCM range, check with your Medicare office to see if you are eligible for subsidies. The average time required by a client is four hours. After spending a couple of hours completing a comprehensive evaluation of the client, the GCM then spends a few more hours researching and discussing options with the client and their family, helping them to implement the care plan. Information from the NAPGCM website at www.caremanger.org.

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

HOW TO
choose care insurance
L
when and how to make the purchase ong-term care insurance helps to cover the expenses accrued from all types of long-term care, including care for long-term physical illnesses, disabilities or cognitive impairment. Unlike traditional medical care, long-term care generally helps an individual maintain their current lifestyle, while helping to ensure stability and comfort. The decision of whether or not you will need long-term care is a very personal one. Still, individuals should begin to consider long-term care before they have difficulty performing the activities of daily living. Who Pays for LTC Insurance? The short answer is, you and your family (at least most of the time). However, you should take several things into account, such as your current assets and a possible eligibility for assistance. If you think you will need long-term care, be aware that the costs of care are extreme. Major Medical insurance will not pay most of these costs because conventional plans only cover skilled care, as opposed to the intermediate or custodial care normally provided in an assisted living, nursing facility or by a home health care worker. Individuals with a physical illness
or a cognitive impairment may require long-term care, which Medicaid will not pay for until they have “spent down” their assets. Therefore, this type of insurance can prevent a family from facing financial ruin due to the costs of care. Additionally, long-term care insurance can provide funds for those wishing to age in place safely.
This is the length of time that the policy will pay you the daily benefit for covered services. You can generally choose to buy coverage from 2-5 years or for a lifetime. Keep in mind that some conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, may require up to eight years of care. A three-year benefit period will cover 85 percent of claims; a five year benefit period will cover approximately 95 percent of filed claims. DAILY BENEFIT AMOUNT. Insurance policies offer daily benefit amounts ranging from $50 to $250 per day. You should research the cost of different facilities and at-home care in your community to determine how much insurance you should purchase. However, you may incur charges over the listed daily costs for medical supplies and special assistance. BENEFIT TRIGGERS. The two major triggers that determine when benefits are payable are functional disability and cognitive impairment. It is important that these are listed in the policy as “stand-alone triggers,” i.e. you don’t have to exhibit both to start collecting benefits.
What Are the Potential Drawbacks? While this type of insurance can help you preserve assets and ensure you receive necessary care, these policies are expensive and may not be right for everyone. You need to consider whether or not you can afford long-term care insurance premiums now and into the future. Depending on the plan, your payment rate can stay locked-in from the time of purchase, or rise significantly. According to some experts, you should skip a plan if your net worth is less than $200,000. Medicaid will pick up the bills after you exhaust your funds. Depending on the state, your spouse may be allowed to keep some assets and his or her own income up to a FINANCIAL STABILITY OF THE COMspecified limit, and also to remain in the PANY. To select a sound company, you family home. should consult independent financial ratings of insurance companies. It is imSome Things to Keep in Mind portant to note a company’s long-term BENEFIT PERIOD TO BE COVERED. commitment to the industry.

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

understand hearing loss how the ear functions and the forms of hearing loss Hearing is one of our most basic senses. It is vital to communication. It helps us to remain in contact with family and friends via the telephone and in-person conversations. Hearing also offers protection from dangerous situations, allowing us to heed a siren or respond to a verbal warning. Individuals with hearing loss often believe that hearing aids cannot help their situation because of misinformation and misconceptions about the devices, leading them to think their situation is hopeless, but this could not be further from the truth! The human ear is comprised of three distinct parts: the outer ear; the middle ear, which contains the eardrum and three tiny bones that conduct sound; and the cochlea or inner ear. Hearing is a highly complex process that involves the middle ear and the cochlea, as well as the auditory nerve and the brain. When
sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and strike the eardrum. The vibrations of the eardrum sends the waves through the cochlea, where thousands of tiny sensory cells generate electrical impulses. These impulses send sound messages up the auditory nerve to the brain, which interprets them as sound. Every case of hearing loss is unique, but all hearing problems can be categorized as either conductive hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss affects the outer or middle ear and is often caused by a buildup of wax or fluid, a punctuated eardrum, or abnormal bone growth. This type of loss can be corrected through medical treatment or by surgical procedure. Sensorineural hearing loss accounts for more than 90 percent of all hearing losses and is characterized by the deterioration of
the delicate sensory cells in the cochlea. The aging process, prolonged exposure to loud noises, infections, head injuries, and certain medications can all cause this type of hearing loss. There is no cure for sensorineural hearing loss, but hearing aids are generally effective in helping individuals to experience improved hearing. The common misconception that “nerve deafness” or sensorineural hearing loss cannot be treated with hearing aids is simply not true given the advanced technology of today’s hearing aids. A hearing aid works as a personal amplification system. When sound enters the hearing aid through a microphone, a tiny amplifier makes the sound louder. The amplified sound travels through the ear canal and causes increased stimulation in the middle ear and the cochlea. This increased stimulation makes sounds clearer and easier to understand.

technology to the rescue keep in contact with family and emergency services
A
personal response system (PRS), sometimes called a PERS (personal emergency response system) answers the need of many older Americans for both security and independence. Many organizations, including the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), encourage their use, but for the consumer choosing from among the many brands on the market, buying a PRS can be somewhat confusing. What is a PRS? A PRS is a relatively simple tool to help keep the user in contact with friends, family, and, if needed, emergency services. Each system has three elements: a portable radio transmitter (help button), a console connected to the user’s telephone, and a response center to monitor the calls. In case of an emergency (a fall, chest pains, suspected intruder, etc.), the user simply calls for help by pressing the button on the radio transmitter. The console picks up the signal (much like an automatic garage door opener) and automatically phones the response center (even if the phone is off the hook). The call is routed to the response center where the caller is identified through special coding. The monitoring center’s first response is to talk with the user and verify that an emergency exists. This can
be done through two-way voice communication or by calling the user back on the phone. Next, monitors will call responders or emergency services to answer the call for help (even if they can’t reach the user by phone). The features offered by many PRS providers are expanding at an astounding rate. Some systems now offer services such as companionship — the user just pushes the transmitter button and can talk with the response center for any reason. Other systems offer a speaker phone feature with their PRS that allows the user to answer the phone from wherever they are in the house, preventing accidents and aiding those with disabilities. Staff at the response centers often receive extensive training in such fields as gerontology and stress management, so they can better serve their clients. As with any other purchase, seniors should seriously consider their specific needs and budget constraints before deciding on any one system. It is a good idea to get written quotes from several companies before making a final decision. For more information about specific PRS vendors, check with the office of the state Attorney General, local consumer affairs office, or the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has had any complaints filed against them. Your local hospital may also be a good resource to look into; many hospitals offer PRS rent-
als, which are affordable and reliable. For additional general information about personal response systems, consumers should consult the Federal Trade Commission’s report “Personal Emergency Response Systems.” The report is free. Consumers can have a copy mailed to them or can review the information online. To request a copy of the publication, call 1-877-382-4357. The report is also available on the FTC’s website. Visit www. ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/services/pers.htm to view a complete copy of the report.

products to keep you active advancements in medical equipment facilitate safe and healthy lifestyles
M
edical supplies and equipment fall into two major categories. Medical supplies generally refers to products that are used to make patients more comfortable and need to be replenished on a regular basis. Durable medical equipment includes items that are long-lasting and are generally one-time purchases. Medical Supplies Medical supply products help individuals cope with and manage the symptoms of illness or old age. Products include specially adapted socks and stockings, skin care products and other helpful items. Daily living aids are also available to help individuals who need assistance dressing or taking medication. Home health monitors and specialized in-home tests let patients track everything from blood pressure to heart rate.
Durable Medical Equipment Durable medical equipment includes items that help elderly or disabled individuals maintain mobility and/or

Mobility products include a wide range of highly advanced equipment to help individuals get around. Scooters are available in a range of styles to meet individualized needs. Many individuals find outdoor mobility challenging and are searching for a personal mobility vehicle that can help them continue to participate in activities. Lift chairs are another popular mobility product that provide assistance with moving from a sitting to a standing position. Stair lifts allow individuals to move from one level of their home to another with ease, eliminating the dangerous task of climbing and descending stairs. A wide array of wheelchairs, walkers, and canes are also available to help those with mobility assistance needs. Care assistance products include hospital-style beds, equipment to help with transferring and specially formulated mattresses. All of these products are es-

According to Medicare, to be covered “items must be reusable, such as walkers, wheelchairs, or hospital beds.” Durable medical equipment for home health services is paid for under both Medicare Part B and Part A. Medicare coverage varies, and some equipment must be rented. Coverage by private insurance for durable medical equipment will vary greatly depending on the company and the policy. Coverage for medical supplies by both Medicare and private insurance will depend on the products required and doctors’ recommendations.

HOW TO
prevent falls
accidents can be serious for seniors
A
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Common injuries from falls include hip fractures and head traumas. For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life threatening injuries. Even if a fall does not result in an injury, it will likely leave the senior feeling scared and may lead to a gradual limiting of activities. Fear, combined with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, will only increase the risk of a fall in the future. National and local community and non-profit organizations are working with seniors and their families to help decrease the risk of falls and lessen the impact of falls after they occur. These organizations provide information and services that may help improve the quality of life of seniors.
juries they cause are alarming. For instance: • In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries according to the CDC. • The Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition (NVFPC) reports that in 2009, 421 Virginians over the age of 65 died as a result of a fall and more than 16,000 hospitalizations were directly attributed to a fall. • The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade (CDC). • In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billion—$179 million for fatal falls and $19 billion for nonfatal fall injuries. This equals $28.2 billion in 2010 dollars (CDC). Injuries from a fall can range from minor to severe, but the risk of serious injury is much greater among the senior adult population. For many seniors, falls are the initial injury in what becomes a long hospitalization and recovery process. For others, falls may result in a loss of independence, or in the most severe cases, a loss of life.
Understanding the Risks On both a national and a local level, the risk of falls is one of the largest, preventable medical challenges that seniors face. The statistics on falls and the in-
Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg
muscles naturally weaken with age; weight-bearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Continued on page 66

Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improvement all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options. Resources The CDC is partnering with several other government agencies to promote a national action plan to prevent falls, which includes research, state grant funding, evaluation projects and information projects. Education efforts have included the development of brochures, posters and a pocket guide for physicians. Locally, the NVFPC is leading the effort to prevent falls. NVFPC conducts free fall prevention seminars at venues across Northern Virginia and distributes thousands of pieces of fall prevention literature to the public and medical community every year. The primary focus of the organization is to promote community partnerships to reduce falls among the older adult population.

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.

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

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

hen Edith Duff and her dining companion head to the dining room to enjoy lunch at Buckingham’s Choice, a continuing care retirement community in Frederick County, Md., the other residents take notice. While the spunky 86-year-old has no lack of friends, her lunch date today is far from typical—and may even be considered futuristic. Edith is eating with a robot. Edith’s robot is an iPad connected to a moveable base that can be remotely controlled by an outside user. Using Skype, family members can tour Edith’s apartment, chat with her, and even join her for lunch or other activities on the campus of the retirement community. The robot is as tall as Edith and allows her to connect with family members in a more interactive way than Skype or other video conferencing applications alone. Don Duff, Edith’s son, purchased the robot for his mother shortly after it was developed. “My son was part of the team that helped create this technology and after hearing him talk about it, I knew it would be really great for my mom, so I bought the 10th one off the line,” he said. The robot is called a MantaroBot and was developed by a Germantown, Md.-based product development services company. In the year since Edith has had the robot, it has garnered a lot of attention. Her fellow residents are fascinated and excited by the device and its many possibilities, and the technology was recently featured in an aging special on Al Jazeera America. Edith’s daughter, Wendy, who lives in Los Angeles, uses the technology most frequently and is the person behind the robot for today’s lunch date. “This is so much more advanced than any other current way of communicating,” noted Don, who encouraged his siblings to start using the robot. “My mother says that it’s the next best thing to her kids actually being there. When we call, she has the biggest smile on her face, and you can tell she feels like you are standing right next to her.” In addition to helping the large family of five kids keep in touch with their mother, the robot also provides valuable peace of mind, since the kids can check on their

mother at any time. It also allows Edith to fit catching up with her children into her impressively busy schedule. A resident at Buckingham’s Choice for more than 10 years, Edith has a full social calendar. “Buckingham’s Choice has been amazing,” noted Don. “It just gives me chills to know that my mother is so active and really enjoying her life. I could call her right now and she’d tell me all about art class and dance class and who knows what else, and she’d have to pencil me in.” When she’s not busy with other activities, Edith helps create a variety of signs for the community. She and her husband, Wendell, established a family
sign business called Signs by Duff in 1955 that is still run by one of their sons. Today, she enjoys using her design talents to help promote community events. Edith originally made the move to Buckingham’s Choice with Wendell, who passed away several years ago. “My Dad moved so that mom would have an easier life and be well taken care of when he died, and he really got his wish,” said Don. Buckingham’s Choice provides Edith with a full and enriching retirement lifestyle, and her robot adds an extra special dimension. Whether she’s dining with friends or with a robot powered by a family member, Edith always feels connected

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
140357 Collington GRL Spring2014 Ad.indd 1
types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care
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.

Understanding Local Continuing Care Retirement Communities In the District of Columbia: Continuing Care Retirement Communities are regulated by the Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking. This government agency protects the wellbeing of Washington, D.C. residents by ensuring that CCRCs are qualified and properly licensed to conduct business in the District. For more information, visit www.disb.dc.gov In Maryland: The Maryland Department of Aging provides a comprehensive consumer information packet for persons interested in learning more about these communities, the law and the regulations. Consumers may request a packet by calling 410-7671100 or 1-800-243-3425 (toll-free), or by visiting www.aging.maryland.gov.
In Virginia: The State Code of Virginia through the Continuing Care Provider Registration and Disclosure Act (38.2-4900) requires CCRCs to provide the prospective buyer with full disclosure statements of their operations and all terms of agreements made between prospective residents and the provider. The State Corporation Commission enforces CCRC regulations governing financial stability, financial disclosure and resident contracts. In addition, CCRCs must also meet state and federal regulations which govern the levels of longterm care they provide. Specifically, the Department of Social Services licenses portions of the CCRC in which personal care services are provided under Virginia’s Home for Adults law and the Department of Health licenses the nursing
facility section and home health care services. Additionally, CCRCs are required to demonstrate that their services promote their residents’ abilities to maintain the highest functional level. Meeting these criteria allows a CCRC to maintain its licensure and state and federal funding options. The two departments responsible for the regulations perform surveys throughout the year to make sure a facility is in compliance with applicable requirements. For more information, visit: http:// www.vda.virginia.gov. Information about CCRCs, including a listing of those which are registered with the State Corporation Commission, may be obtained by contacting its Bureau of Insurance (804-371-9733).

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

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

what is senior center plus?

the eight participant to one staff ratio is greater than the staffing ratio of community senior centers. The daily fee schedule is determined by the Senior Center Plus provider based on the facility’s operating budget. A sliding fee scale is used and a limited number of scholarships are available. Respite fees are paid by family, participants, caregivers, Veterans’ Group Home operators, and assisted living providers. This service is eligible for Medicaid reimbursement via the Maryland Medicaid Waiver.

R e a l-L i f e Story
W
hen Ralph and Patti Myers went to an open house at The Crossings at Falls Run, they enjoyed great company and a delicious meal—and they decided to stay. Located in Fredericksburg, Va., The Crossings offers a full continuum of senior living options, from independent living to assisted living and memory care. Ralph and Patti began searching for a retirement community after he started to show signs of Parkinson’s disease. “We wanted to find a place where he could get the assistance he needed, and we also thought having all our meals prepared sounded great,” said Patti. The couple had previously moved from their single-family home to an active adult community. However, following Ralph’s diagnosis, they quickly realized that they would need additional assistance. They began looking at retirement communities with a full range of care options, so they would have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that increasing levels of care are available if needed. “We looked at various places, and when we came here we just knew,” Patti recalled. “The staff was so friendly; the meal was wonderful; everything was so nice.” Since moving, the Myers have already benefitted from the continuum of care
At The Crossings at Falls Run, resident Patti Myers and her peers enjoy delicious dining options daily, as well as seasonal special events—all prepared by Executive Chef Ole Agerholm and his staff.
available at The Crossings. Following a hospitalization, Ralph was able to return to the on-campus rehabilitation center to get the care he needed. Now several weeks into his rehab program, he is receiving occupational and speech therapy and is really flourishing under the expert care.
“He goes to his therapy and then gets on the elevator and comes back home,” noted Patti. “He comes back glowing. He’s really getting excellent care.” In addition to quality care, the Myers are also enjoying making new friends and attending the community’s many special events. “I have made so many friends here. I really haven’t met anyone who wasn’t friendly,” Patti said. During the holiday season, the couple participated in a Santa Claus party, complete with a holiday buffet and gingerbread house building. They also enjoyed the annual Easter celebration, featuring a buffet, an egg hunt and face painting for the grandchildren. Providing experiences like these for the residents is one of the great aspects of working in a retirement community, according to Executive Chef Ole Agerholm. A native of Denmark, Ole has worked for high-profile clients including state and national politicians, but he found his calling working with senior residents. “We have relationships with all the residents, and that is so important,” said Ole, who leads a resident walking group and encourages his staff to connect with the residents as well. “This is like a family and that’s what it’s really about: being a family.” Ralph and Patti Myers are certainly happy to be a part of the extended family that Ole is feeding.

Understanding Independent Living in D.C. Independent Living Communities are defined in the IONA Senior Services Resource Guide as “communities that provide housing and services for active and independent seniors. Services typically offered include congregate meals, on-site recreational activities, and security services.”
IONA Senior Services is one of eight “Lead Agency Providers” in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Office on Aging funds comprehensive service-delivery organizations and designates them as “Lead Agencies.” These agencies plan and deliver direct services to the District’s elderly residents and their caregivers. Each ward
has one or more Lead Agencies that provide services to seniors in the ward. Information on Independent Living Communities and other elder service options can be obtained from these agencies. Visit www.dcoa.dc.gov or call (202) 7245622 to connect with the lead agency serving your neighborhood.
Faces of Friendship “Moving to Friendship Terrace was the best thing I ever did.” - Greg Betor, resident since 1999
With a busy career as a housing development specialist, Greg worked in 27 states across the country and lived in eleven. But like they say, there’s no place like home, and after retiring, he decided to move to Friendship Terrace - only blocks away from his childhood home. Although the familiar neighborhood setting was a factor, he also enjoys the affordable pricing, access to public transportation, and walking the tree-lined streets on warm, sunny days.

Understand Independent Living
Maryland In Maryland, senior apartments are generally for people age 62 and over, but some will accept younger disabled people. Spouses under age 62 may be allowed. There are usually no supportive services available. Some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program.” Congregate Meals Congregate meals are offered in more than 250 meal sites including senior centers, religious facilities, housing facilities or other community sites throughout Maryland. Many meal program locations are within state-of-the-art facilities and offer a variety of engaging activities such as health promotion and exercise centers. Congregate Housing Services Program The mission of the Congregate Housing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies to eligible residents of low and moderate income se-
nior housing who, due to advanced age or chronic health conditions, need daily help with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping and personal services. Eligible residents are those who are at least 62 years of age and in need of assistance with one or more activities of daily living. The program provides meals; weekly housekeeping of each participant’s apartment; and limited personal assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing and laundry. The cost of the Congregate Housing Services Program varies by site. Individual program participants contribute to the cost based on a sliding scale. To view a list of congregate housing sites in Maryland or to receive additional information on local housing programs, contact your local Senior Information and Assistance Program. Virgina Independent Living Communities can be referred to in a variety of ways depending on the location and the services provided at the community. Senior apart-
ments, senior living communities and retirement homes are among the frequently used names for this housing option. The Virginia Department for the Aging (VDA) sometimes refers to these communities as “congregate housing facilities.” They define congregate housing facilities as generally providing private living quarters, meals in a central dining room, shared living spaces, and access to social and recreational facilities. The VDA states, “For people who do not require nursing home care, congregate housing is a very popular and economic alternative to institutional care. It is most suitable for the more frail members of the elderly population - those who find it difficult to manage home maintenance, shopping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.” Rent subsidies under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 8 Rental Assistance Program may be available to assist with the cost of rent in congregate housing facilities.

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

HOW TO

know your options when paying for care
W
hen considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a
variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs.
Group
State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will Continued on page 106

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.

caregivers and stress Being a caregiver for someone with a serious illness or chronic condition isn’t easy. There are a multitude of demands on your time, energy and resources. Between doctors’ appointments, dispensing medication, helping the ill person complete daily tasks, managing the ill person’s household, providing meals and more, it’s all too easy to feel overburdened, overstressed and overwhelmed. That’s why Walter St. John, Ed.D., says it’s so important for caregivers to develop healthy and habitual coping mechanisms. “Even when the ill person is someone
who you love deeply, such as a spouse or parent, being a caregiver puts you under a tremendous amount of mental, emotional and often physical stress,” points out St. John, author of Solace: How Caregivers and Others Can Relate, Listen, and Respond Effectively to a Chronically Ill Person. Here, St. John shares ten healthy ways for caregivers to effectively cope with stress:

regarding how much they’ll be able to do, what their relationship with the ill person will be like, what type of attitude they’ll have and so much more. And when reality doesn’t match these ideals, negativity, conflict, stress and disappointment can result.

Accept that as a caregiver, you need help As St. John points out, you will need to set boundaries regarding what caregiving tasks you can and can’t do, what resources you can and can’t provide, how much time and energy you have available, etc. Again, one person cannot do it all, especially in an intensive caregiving situation; in fact, you should try to have at least two other people to help you.

situations don’t match exactly, they can still share valuable advice and insight on your new role. “There are so many sources of help and guidance to which you can reach out,” points out St. John. “They include, but are certainly not limited to: friends or relatives who have acted as caregivers, the ill person’s medical team (e.g., doctors and nurses), clergy, social workers specializing Control the caregiving situation, in caregiving, and nursing home profes- rather than letting it control you sional staff.” Even though you have volunteered to
take care of someone else’s needs, you are not at the mercy of or under the complete control of the ill person. Rather, you have the right and responsibility to make yourself understood; to ensure that your own needs are being met; and to protect yourself from excessive stress, physical and mental strain, and even abuse. Make every effort to still live your own life. When you allow your entire life to revolve around your ill loved one, your mental health, physical health, and relationships can suffer. “Do your best to balance Continued on page 110

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.

10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living/Personal Care Facility 1. Make 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.

A
native Washingtonian, Pam Davis has never strayed far from home. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. Pam lived in a house on Blagden Avenue in Washington, D.C., with her parents until her father passed away. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis years ago, Pam remained in her family home where she could get the support she needed to manage her disease. After graduating from Howard School of Law in 1982, Pam took a position with the D.C. Department of Employment Services in the Office of the General Counsel. As a paralegal specialist, she focused on worker’s compensation cases. Pam enjoyed her work as a paralegal and remained at the office for eight years. After her father passed away, she moved with her mother to nearby Knollwood Retirement Community. With her mother’s help, she was able to maintain an independent lifestyle. “When my mother passed away, I knew I

could not live alone, so I made the decision to move to Atrium Assisted Living,” Pam said. “I get a lot of TLC and assistance here. The staff watches my diet and makes sure I get the medical care I need.” Atrium Assisted Living group homes are located in upscale neighborhoods in Potomac and Silver Spring, Md. Pam lives in a charming home in Silver Spring, featuring a 2-story living room complete with skylights providing beautiful natural light. Outside, residents can enjoy views of a nearby farm while relaxing on the deck or in the gazebo.
Residents also benefit from the small, home-like environment of Atrium. With only eight residents per property, staff members are able to form strong relationships with every resident. They are also able to offer a wide array of amenities and activities catered to meet the residents’ specific needs and interests. Since moving to Atrium Assisted Living, Pam is able to relax and enjoy life, knowing that all of her care needs will be met. “I really enjoy watching movies and TV series on PBS. I also love listening to Jazz,” she said. However, lately her focus has been on mastering new technology. “Right now, my hobby is learning how to operate my iPhone. I just got a book to help me with that,” she laughed as she said. Having a safe, comfortable place to call home has given Pam the security that she needed. She found her ideal home just a few miles from where she grew up—right in the heart of the D.C. region.

the time comes,” you may be in for a harsh dose of reality. There’s no point in spinning your wheels, going over choices that just aren’t viable for your family. 3. Don’t try to do it all. In many cases, a nearby family member, perhaps you, will take on caretaking duties, thinking you can or should be able to handle it all. Plus, Mom really trusts and relies on you and wouldn’t feel comfortable with a stranger in the home. Things may go along fine for a while, but as the picture turns more complicated, you may quickly become overwhelmed and ineffective. Go ahead and step up if you’re the one who lives closest or has the most time or financial wherewithal to deal with an initial crisis. But then, assess the situation and quickly marshal your resources. Call a family meet-

And what about those teenagers striving for more independence? If they have a driver’s license, they can be tasked with making a daily wellness check, running errands or tending to Grandma’s pets. 4. Manage medications and therapies. Develop a simple system to track medication, prescribed exercises, nutritional supplements and other health related needs. There are websites that allow for information-sharing among family caregivers, which can be great. But a simple calendar or spreadsheet along with pre-filled pill boxes can also work. Make sure the system is user-friendly
for all who will rely on it. Leave a spot for notes to indicate when medications must be refilled or supplies replenished. Keep in mind that most paid caregivers, unless they are nurses, are not allowed to administer medication—in other words, hand out pills. But caregivers can remind people to take their medication and this is often all that is needed. 5. Explore community resources. Finding a handicap-accessible transportation service to take your mom to the hairdresser or to visit friends can go a long way toward maintaining her mental and emotional well-being. If Mom can’t leave the house, look into religious organizations, senior centers and local areas on aging that offer home supports or social calls. If your senior feels isolated and needs more company, sometimes variety can spice up life. Many colleges and schools of social work have volun-
teer programs for students interested in aging studies. 6. Reassess your routine every two weeks. Or more often if conditions are changing rapidly. See what’s working and what isn’t. Talk to your parents and grandparents, spouse or partner— find out if they’re happy with the care they’re getting, or if they’d prefer more, less or different. Consider whether your loved one is still safe living at home and whether you feel their mental or physical condition warrants a change. And don’t be discouraged by setbacks, along with an occasional crisis or two. If you keep yourself grounded, tend to your own needs, and are open to support, you will be able to withstand the ups and downs of caregiving. And hopefully enjoy the journey as well.

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

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

HOW TO
find residential living
a more close-knit way of life Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and serv-
ing of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. Small assisted living facilities allow residents As with any community, it is impor- to maintain independence. tant to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their For more information, a comprehensive families.

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

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

generosity runs deep in boomers study explores family interdependencies and retirement
D
uring the last five years, three out of five Americans age 50 and older have provided financial assistance to members of their family, including adult children, parents, grandchildren, siblings or other relatives, according to a new Merrill Lynch study. Conducted in partnership with Age Wave, “Family & Retirement: The Elephant in the Room” is an in-depth study exploring modern family interdependencies and the challenges Boomers face in balancing them with their own retirement plans and financial security. Conducted in August 2013, the study is based on a nationally representative survey of more than 5,400 respondents.
The average financial assistance provided to family members during the last five years was nearly $15,000 – and significantly more among the nation’s wealthiest families. This support may have been to help relatives meet a onetime need or ongoing assistance over the course of many years, and was often given without expecting anything in return. However, the vast majority of people age 50 plus (88 percent) have not factored such support for family into their financial planning. “Given the challenging economic climate during the past several years, it’s not surprising that so many Americans have extended financial support to their loved ones,” said Andy Sieg, head of Global Wealth and Retirement
Solutions for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “However, such admirable willingness to assist family members should not place one’s own long-term financial security in jeopardy.” Additional highlights from the study include: Are you the Family Bank? Nearly three in five people (56 percent) age 50 plus believe a member of their family is the “Family Bank,” meaning someone who their extended family is most likely to turn to for financial help. This person is often the one who is most financially responsible, has the most money or is the easiest to approach. Continued on page 144

Sacrificing Retirement for Family: Half of pre-retirees age 50 plus say they would make major sacrifices that could impact their retirement to help family members. Among these preretirees, 60 percent would retire later, 40 percent would return to work after retiring, and more than one-third (36 percent) say they would accept a less comfortable retirement lifestyle to help family financially.
wisely than because of worries about being paid back (57 percent vs. 11 percent). This generosity extends to a shift in mindset regarding inheritance. For example, 60 percent of people age 50 plus say they would prefer to begin passing on their assets during retirement, rather than waiting until the end of life. Marriage in Retirement: Close to half of married retirees say their marriage is more fulfilling (48 percent) and loving (45 percent) in retirement, and just 11 percent say it is more boring or contentious. However, divorce is becoming increasingly common among older adults. One in seven people age 50 and older who were once married are now divorced and single – a seven-fold increase since 19601. After a divorce, average household income drops by more than 40 percent for women and by 25 percent for men2.
the 1980s among all age groups and doubled between 1990 and 2010 among people age 50 plus, have contributed significantly to the rise in blended families. Nearly two in five people (37 percent) age 50 and older are now part of a blended family3. Nearly one-third (31 percent) of people age 50 plus with stepchildren say it complicates financial planning. “Families are a major source of fulfillment during retirement years – but can also create unforeseen financial pressures,” said Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Age Wave. “Too often, people plan for their retirement without factoring in how they might be called upon to help out their adult children, aging parents and siblings.” The study found that the vast majority of people age 50 plus have not prepared for potential family events and challenges that could affect their retirement, including:
Generosity & Inheritance: Those helping family financially rarely do so because they expect future help or payback. People age 50 plus are 20 times more likely to say they are helping family because “it is the right thing to do” than because “family members will help them Perpetual Parenthood & Booin the future” (80 percent vs. 4 percent). merangs: They are 5 times more likely to stop support Blended Families: because a recipient is not using the money One in five parents (19 percent) age Rising divorce rates, which peaked in

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

A team of highly skilled physicians, therapists, Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses (CRRN®) and support staff provides a more intense regimen, greater therapy time, and increased availability of pharmacy and laboratory services compared to other levels of rehabilitative care. Each Rehabilitation Hospital is led by a medical director who supervises
the hospital’s multi-disciplinary team to provide a coordinated program of care including goal setting, treatment plans, family education and discharge planning. Careful physician supervision ensures that all patients’ rehabilitation programs are compatible with and appropriate for their medical condition. Patients at Rehabilitation Hospitals benefit from fully equipped therapy gyms housing the latest in rehabilitative technology. These innovative technologies help patients walk again, regain use of their arms or hands, swallow more efficiently, improve communication, and regain concentration and balance. Specifically, the AutoAmbulator®, created by and exclusive to HealthSouth, improves a patient’s ability to ambulate.
This sophisticated treadmill device uses the therapeutic concept of body weightsupported ambulation and robotics to help patients with gait disorders. Demonstrating Results For each patient admitted, Rehabilitation Hospitals use Functional Independence Measure, or FIM®, instruments to measure a patient’s functional ability in 18 separate areas. A collective FIM® score is obtained upon hospital admission and discharge. In addition to tracking and reporting the two scores for each patient, the scores are rated against each other, measuring the success of the hospital’s services to improve functional abilities such as mobility, activities of daily living, bladder and bowel control, and cognition.

y mother does not want to go into assisted living; she is 90. —Vincent Dear Vincent: Thank you for your submission. We would all like to live in our own homes until the end of our days. This is a very natural desire. But when the time comes to deal with the reality that staying at home is no longer safe or financially practical, or that a higher level of care is needed, we look for other options. We, as family members, may be more aware of the changes that are occurring. Each step in making a transition has to be thoroughly thought out, examined and financially explored for its viability and practicality. Often the elder, in this case your mother, may never have even seen the
assisted living facility. First, look at the brochures of the assisted living facility together. Then, take a tour and meet some of the staff. In some cases, by pre-arrangement, you and your mother may have lunch there and see any available rooms. These facilities do have a lot to offer in the way of safety and socialization. Usually, the best solution is to keep seniors fully informed and involve them in the decision-making process. Your mother may not comprehend how all of this is impacting your health, job, and family, or even her personal finances. If your mother is competent and has full mental capacity, when she has all the facts at her disposal, the decision is hers to make. Transition is never easy for any of us.

want or need due to a few different possibilities. It could be from a lifetime of thinking of others first, or from the perception of not being worthy, or from a lifestyle of always being polite and waiting for one’s turn. When the senior in question is putting off what needs to be done, and the waiting is detrimental to their health and well being, you may want to bring to their attention that waiting is not the best plan of action (or in this case, non-action). But we cannot redo someone’s life patterns or established ways of dealing with the world. Each person has the responsibility of dealing with life as they see fit. Sometimes in our haste to help, we take away the senior’s independence. Only if someone is in immediate danger should we intervene. Continued on page 150

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option Special care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they have had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel
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.
Like flowers in spring, a nurturing environment can bring postive change to someone with dementia. We offer peace of mind by providing quality care for seniors in the early to moderate stages of memory loss. Residents enjoy Life Enrichment programming seven days a week, cozy lounge areas, and outside gardens. These amenities, as well as 24-hour-a-day nursing care, are provided in our secure and inviting community. 1121 Reston Avenue | Herndon, VA

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

Alzheimer’s
alzheimer’s: the facts and figures alzheimer’s association report sheds new light on scope of disease According to the 2013 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia in the United States. The new report shows that while deaths from other major diseases, such as heart disease, HIV/ AIDS and stroke, continue to experience significant declines, Alzheimer’s deaths continue to rise – increasing 68 percent from 2000-2010. “Unfortunately, today there are no Alzheimer’s survivors. If you have Alzheimer’s disease, you either die from it or die with it,” said Harry Johns, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association. “Now we know that one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Urgent, meaningful action is necessary, particularly as more and more
people age into greater risk for developing a disease that today has no cure and no way to slow or stop its progression.” Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and is the only leading cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. Based on 2010 data, Alzheimer’s was reported as the underlying cause of death for 83,494 individuals – individuals who died from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures reveals that in 2013 an estimated 450,000 people in the United States will die with Alzheimer’s. The true number of deaths caused by Alzheimer’s is likely to be somewhere between the officially reported number of those dying from and those dying with Alzheimer’s.

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

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

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

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

B
everly Kitzinger was a woman with incredible faith and undeniable strength. The mother of five children, she was also an accomplished elementary school teacher, who taught in the Montgomery County school system for 27 years while raising her family. While her husband, Joe, was a devout Catholic, who raised all of their children Catholic, Beverly always found strength and solace in her beliefs as a Christian Scientist. That strength was both tested
and proved when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “It was very difficult for my mother to go through with the surgery to remove the tumor, since Christian Scientists do not believe in disease or illness,” explained one of Beverly’s daughters, Patricia “Patty” Inman. “As part of their faith, they do not take medicine or seek modern medical treatments; they simply pray through illness.” Herself a breast cancer survivor, Patty helped convince her mother to have the
surgery to remove the tumor. Beverly came through the surgery and went on to become the caregiver for her beloved husband. After her husband passed away, she was just beginning to acclimate to her new life when she broke her arm and learned that her breast cancer had metastasized to her bones. “My mother’s faith gave her incredible strength, and we were able to manage her considerable pain for months with just low doses of pain reliever,” Patty recalled. However, when Beverly began to

experience more extreme pain from the bone cancer, the family decided to turn to hospice services for help. “I asked a dear friend who is a home care nurse for a recommendation, and she suggested Jewish Social Service Agency (JSSA) Hospice,” Patty explained. JSSA, a Montgomery County hospice provider for more than 30 years, began working with the family shortly thereafter and remained in the home until Beverly passed away five months later. A social worker with JSSA coordinated
all of Beverly’s care, ensuring that all her physical, emotional and spiritual needs were met. They also made sure to check in on all the family members and provide support when it was needed, as well as constant updates on Beverly’s condition. “Everyone with JSSA was wonderful. My mom absolutely loved them. They were so kind and patient and gentle with her. She appreciated what they did and acknowledged their help and welcomed their support and care,” said Patty. The JSSA team included a nurse, an
occupational therapist and a chaplain, in addition to the social worker. They all worked with Beverly’s in-home caregivers and her doctors to ensure that her pain was managed and that she was able to remain in her home surrounded by family. “Because of JSSA, my mother was able to enjoy the remainder of her life pain free,” Patty concluded. “Our family was her life and for her to be able to remain at home and not be in a sterile hospital environment was so important.”

HOW TO
cope with a loss
understand your feelings and learn how to begin healing
A
fter a significant death or loss, you may experience feelings that are unfamiliar in their intensity and duration. You may notice thoughts and behaviors that are different or disturbing. Many people experience a kind of spiritual crisis following a major loss. Anger is common, whether it’s directed toward a situation, a particular person or life in general. Grieving people may have unusual dreams, be absent-minded, withdraw socially or lack the desire to participate in activities that used to be enjoyable. While these feelings and behaviors are normal during grief, they generally change over time. In general, grief makes room for a lot of thoughts, behaviors, feelings and beliefs that might be considered unusual at other times. Following significant loss, however, most of these components of grief are, in fact, quite normal. One method of dealing with grief is to be more aware of the ways we express it. Even the exact words we use (to ourselves and to others) can make a difference. For example, when we think, “I regret that I was not in the room when he died,” we’re less likely to wallow in the feeling than if

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

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

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

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

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

sustaining hope in the face of cancer n
By Deborah J. Cornwall
Hope is a curious thing. It’s about looking forward to something positive and refusing to give up. It’s about persisting in the face of adversity, even when the odds and the facts seem to be working against you. It’s about creating positive energy that can nourish both body and soul. Interviews with 86 personal caregivers from 19 states who cared for 107 patients ranging in age from 2 to 92 with over 40 different cancers, as well as interactions with dozens of local families affected by cancer revealed that sustaining hope in the face of cancer is both critical and problematic. All of these caregivers agreed that you aren’t your cancer, and that looking beyond the cancer to envision a “new normal” was key to their hope. Their six
guiding lights were to: 1. Set realistic goals. Is the feasible objective to become cancer-free, prolong life despite cancer, or help relieve patient pain and anxiety as death approaches? The more realistic the goals, the more likely they are to inspire hope, even if the patient is terminal. 2. Live life while you have it, and create joy every day. No matter how sick, the person you’re caring for will always appreciate a surprise. Maybe it’s a bouquet of the first daffodils of spring, the opportunity to snuggle with a favorite pet, or even a single chocolate-covered strawberry. Creat-
ing pleasure for the person with cancer creates positive and hopeful memories for both of you. 3. Preserve perspective. Rob’s wife admits she was having a meltdown about his chordoma diagnosis when she “read about a guy who was killed when his all-terrain vehicle flipped over. I looked at Rob and I realized he’s here right now, and he has a chance, and he feels good, so I can’t dwell on poor me when people can lose a loved one in a flash.” For Carl’s wife, it was about focusing less on what they had lost (independence, control, and their normal life) when Carl lost a leg to bone cancer, but more on what they had left. “He couldn’t control losing his leg,

We just applied our own optimism; instinctively we wanted to get on with it and not get stuck.” For both, regaining perspective took deliberate choice. 4. Cultivate humor. Many caregivers found that humor was an important stress reliever, even toward the end of a patient’s life. When he knew he was dying, David told his sister he’d given up buying green bananas. It was black humor, but it lightened the mood. Less morbid humor can be generated by playing games to create captions for cartoons, or watching a funny movie together. 5.

sustaining hope ... Continued from page 185
tion with a particular diagnosis weren’t necessarily relevant to them. This wasn’t denial; rather, it was recognition that every projection of aggregate survival rates includes a full range of outcomes, some more desirable than others. René and his wife explained that: “The survival facts [the doctor] gave were tough, so we decided to ignore them because he didn’t say that was true in 100% of the cases. Whatever the low percentage is who live longer, we decided that we’d be in it. Now we’re at four years, so it’s working.” 6. Forestall later regrets. Almost every caregiver described trying to do everything possible to ensure they’d have no regrets, no matter how the course of treatment ended. That meant not only going through the normal routines of treatment, but also pressing for management of side effects
like pain and nausea to increase patient comfort and expressing love for the patient every day. Hope isn’t restricted to survival situations. Mike and his wife lost his battle with pancreatic cancer over 13 years ago. Her dedication to his care and her passion for seeking out clinical trials and breakthroughs in treatment gave him hope and options that kept him alive for 27 months in the face of a diagnosis that offered a six-week death sentence. She describes their experience as a victory, in spite of his death, and she’s been a passionate advocate for cancer research funding ever since. Decisions about when a patient will die, and where, are part of creating hope for loved ones. As Tim’s wife said, “We had to be ready because we had to go on.
There was a point where it’s all about the people who live. It’s not about the person who dies. It’s about what will make it OK for the ones who live.” Orchestrating the readiness of children for such an outcome is part of this planning. The Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky said “to live without hope is to cease to live.” Hope feeds the courage to keep going during challenging and uncertain treatments. It’s what allows family cancer caregivers to carry on every day. It’s what allows people like Mimi to undertake unthinkable treatments, and it’s what allows exhausted caregivers to heal in the aftermath. Deborah J. Cornwall is an experienced advocate on behalf of cancer patients and their families. She is the author of Things I Wish I’d Known: Cancer Caregivers Speak Out, a new book based on interviews with 86 cancer caregivers and dozens of patients and survivors.

creating livable communities engaging all generations and improving quality of life Intergenerational living has the potential to benefit individuals from all generations, from young children to seniors. To help towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. make their communities friendly to an aging population, the MetLife Mature Market Institute has released planning tips, Creating a Livable Community: Engaging All Generations and Improving Quality of Life. The tips are derived from the study, Livable Community Indicators for Sustainable Aging in Place, which found that localities can follow relatively simple and low cost indicators to determine if their services meet the needs of their aging and older citizens. The new publication contains specific solutions for intergenerational living in the areas of housing, transportation, safety, health care, support services,
retail services and social integration. It was produced in conjunction with Generations United to provide guidance for those at the local level – community leaders, residents, students and more – so they can find new ways to implement programs to enhance the lives of all generations and to create a livable and positive environment. “While all communities are unique and have varying degrees of resources, every community can actively engage residents across the generations in addressing community challenges,” said Sandra Timmermann, Ed.D., director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute. “There are simple ways to get this started. For example, appoint an intergenerational community advisory council to offer multiple perspectives and unique solu-
tions for a given locality.” Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United pointed out that making sure people are connected to each other is a great way to foster intergenerational reciprocity. “Communities that create opportunities for people of all ages improve the quality of life and strengthen the community. We’ve witnessed great success in those that understand how to use an intergenerational lens to develop and implement policies and programs for all generations,” she said. “As recently noted by the Mayo Clinic, ‘good friends are good for your health’ and a recent report by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) pointed out that those who volunteer tend to be more satisfied with their Continued on page 188

communities ... Continued from page 187
lives than those who don’t.” The tip sheet asserts that, in a livable community, policies and practices increase cooperation and interaction among the age groups. Livable communities provide services that allow individuals to survive and thrive. In a truly intergenerational community, residents of all ages have ample opportunity to share their expertise and resources, and to support each other and their community. Examples of some of the advice and policy suggestions in the publication are: • Housing – A program that supports the efforts of older people to keep living in their homes might engage groups of students to rake leaves, shovel snow and do light home repairs for older neighbors. Example: The Home Safety Program at the Volunteer Center of the Virginia Peninsula sends teens to visit older adults living independently. They perform a safety
assessment and provide safety and disaster kits. • Transportation and Safe Neighborhoods – Transportation is a critical service for all generations, especially those who are aging and must rely on light rail, buses, taxis and on-call vans. Neighborhoods can use volunteers to help older individuals learn how to take advantage of public transportation. Example: In Hesston, Kansas, older adults are utilized as crossing guards to help students cross busy intersections. In Chanute, Kansas, older volunteers greet students at the front door of their elementary, middle and high schools, and wish them a wonderful day at school, with a smile, handshake or high-five. • Health Care and Supportive Services – Livable communities require adequate medical facilities, trained medical personnel, community education, wellness programs, doctors and specialists. They also need support services for residents
of all ages. Communities might create a shared space for residents of multiple generations to interact daily. Example: At the JEWEL Program in New York’s Westchester County, daily interactions occur between children in day care and older adults in a non-residential day program. The older adults benefit from the center’s wellness activities, personal care, transportation and nutrition – and from the daily engagement with children. • General Retail and Services – Ideally, communities have stores to buy necessities, opportunities to purchase healthy foods, restaurants and community activities. Recognizing the importance of healthy eating and how it correlates to healthy and long lives, localities can connect children, teens and older adults through gardening and cooking. Example: At the Marion Street Intergenerational Garden in Washington, DC, gardeners of all ages create and participate in a gardening experience that has be-

come an outdoor classroom for residents of all ages. • Social Integration – Communities can connect the generations to enhance each other’s lives and that of the larger community. Through these interactions, relationships are formed, stereotypes and biases are reduced and communities take advantage of the strengths of all their residents. Example: The Allegheny County Library Association in Pennsylvania has held book clubs for high school students and older adults aimed at fostering intergenerational discussion and connections. The guide also contains a list of additional resources that can be tapped by community leaders, government officials and individuals seeking to work toward the betterment and flexibility of their communities with regard to older adults. The complete publication is available online: https://www.metlife.com/ assets/cao/mmi/publications/Tips/mmilivable-communities-tips.pdf.
Livable communities are built on policies and practices that increase cooperation and interaction among diverse age groups.

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

Divorce May Not Eliminate Spousal Benefits If you are divorced, were you married for a decade and aren’t currently remarried? You may be eligible to receive benefits based on the former spouse’s work record. Here are some of the other requirements: you must be age 62 or older, and the former spouse must be entitled to receive his or her own benefits. If the former spouse is eligible for a benefit, but has not yet applied for it, the divorced spouse can still receive a benefit. Additionally, two years must pass after the divorce.

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

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

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

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

make aging in place possible 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. One thing to keep in mind when consider-
ing 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 improve maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertops, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS are mostly remodelers, but
a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building 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.

learning for life
O
lder adults are often encouraged to stay active and engaged to keep their minds sharp. But new research indicates that only certain activities —learning a mentally demanding skill like photography, for instance — are likely to improve cognitive functioning. These findings, forthcoming in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, reveal that less demanding activities, such as listening to classical music or completing word puzzles, probably won’t bring noticeable benefits to an aging mind. “It seems it is not enough just to get out and do something—it is important to get out and do something that is unfamiliar and mentally challenging,”

says psychological scientist and lead researcher Denise Park of the University of Texas at Dallas. “When you are inside your comfort zone, you may be outside of the enhancement zone.” For their study, Park and colleagues randomly assigned 221 adults, ages 60 to 90, to engage in a particular type of activity for 15 hours a week over the course of three months. Some participants were assigned to learn a new skill — digital photography, quilting, or both — which required active engagement and tapped working memory, long-term memory and other high-level cognitive processes. Other participants were instructed to engage in more familiar activities at home, such as listening to classical music and completing word puzzles. And, to account for the possible influence of
social contact, some participants were assigned to a social group that included social interactions, field trips and entertainment. At the end of three months, Park and colleagues found that the adults who were productively engaged in learning new skills showed improvements in memory compared to those who engaged in social activities or non-demanding mental activities at home. “The findings suggest that engagement alone is not enough,” says Park. Park and colleagues are planning on following up with the participants one year and five years down the road to see if the effects remain over the long term. The APS journal Psychological Science is the highest ranked empirical journal in psychology. For more information, please call 202-293-9300.

boomers and password security
A
recent Harris Interactive survey on e-commerce and passwords showed that Baby Boomers were disproportionately affected by online password difficulties. Nineteen percent of online U.S. adults between ages 55-64 had given up on a purchase from an ecommerce Web site because they forgot a username or password. The password difficulties were not limited to e-commerce sites. More than 80 percent of U.S. adults between ages 55-64 who use the Internet have forgotten a password, and 54 percent have had to use the “reset password” option to retrieve account information. In response to the Harris Interactive survey, Dashlane, a password manager and digital wallet app, analyzed internal data to better understand how pass-

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

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

Understanding Home Health Care Benefits When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and laundry. Also not included are home-delivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care. For more information on Medicare coverage, visit medicare.gov. Information Provided by Family & Nursing Care/Legacy Home Care and adapted from medicare.gov.

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

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, I went to the pharmacy and was told that the drug my doctor prescribed me was not covered by my Medicare Part D plan. The pharmacist said that I could try to file an appeal. What is an appeal? —Marius
Dear Marius, This is a great question. An appeal is a formal request you can make to your Medicare coverage if you disagree with a coverage decision on a health care service or drug you need. In this case, you can start to file an appeal if your Medicare prescription drug plan, also known as a Part D plan, will not cover a medication you need. Remember, you can get Medicare Part D coverage in two different ways. You can either get Medicare Part D through a stand-alone Part D plan that works with

Original Medicare or through a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan, also known as a Medicare private health plan that provides you with prescription drug coverage. Note that your pharmacist should also give you a notice called, Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and Your Rights. This is a notice that explains the process of contacting your Part D plan to request coverage of the drug you need. Keep in mind that this is simply an educational notice that provides you with very general information on the first steps of the appeal process. This is important to know, since you generally need to receive a written, formal denial notice from your Part D plan in order to begin the appeal process. The Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and Your Rights notice is not a formal denial from your Part D plan. However, you should still read it for your

own understanding. If your pharmacist told you that your Medicare Part D plan will not cover the drug you need, you should contact your Part D plan directly. It’s helpful to do this to find out why your Part D plan is not covering the drug you need. If the denial is due to an administrative error, it should be resolved when you call your plan. Remember to write down the date and time in which you call, the name of the Part D plan agent you speak to, and the outcome of your call. If the issue is not due to an administrative error, get in touch with your doctor. Your doctor may be able to prescribe you a different drug that is covered by your Part D plan, so that you do not have to file an appeal. If your doctor cannot prescribe a different drug that is covered by your Part D plan, you should ask your doctor to help you file an exception request, also known

marci’s medicare answers as a coverage determination. An exception request is a formal request you make to your Part D plan, asking your plan to cover the drug you need. Filing an exception request with your Part D plan is the step you take before you can file an appeal. While plans generally provide decisions on exception requests within 72 hours, you and your doctor can request that your plan make a quicker (expedited) decision to your exception request in 24 hours if your health would be harmed by waiting the standard 72 hours for a plan decision. If your exception request is denied by your Part D plan, your plan should then send you a written, formal denial notice that includes instructions on how you can file your appeal. —Marci

continuing need for therapy in her medical record. He/she must also indicate that the therapy services provided to your mother are medically reasonable and necessary when submitting claims for additional therapy costs above the therapy cap to Medicare. If your mother reaches the $1,920 therapy cap in 2014 and her therapist feels that additional therapy above the therapy cap is not medically necessary, he/she should give your mother a notice called an “Advance Beneficiary Notice,” before providing her with therapy services. This notice warns people with Original Medicare that Medicare will likely not pay for the service in question. If your mother still wants to receive the continued therapy, she can check the option on the notice that requires the therapist to provide additional therapy and then submit the medical claim for the therapy to Medicare. If
Medicare ends up denying coverage for the additional therapy, your mother can still file an appeal. It may be helpful for your mother to talk to her speech-language pathologist or therapist about the therapy cap. Note that you can go online and visit http://www.medicare.gov/ coverage/pt-and-ot-and-speech-languagepathology.html to learn more about therapy caps. —Marci
dental care that you need primarily for the health of your teeth. For example, Medicare will generally not cover routine checkups or cleaning. However, Medicare will pay for dental services in very limited circumstances if the services are required to protect your general health or if you need dental care in order for a Medicare-covered health service to be successful.

marci’s medicare answers above, Medicare will not pay for any followup dental care after the underlying health condition has been treated. For example, if Medicare paid for a tooth extraction as part of a procedure to repair a facial injury you had, Medicare will not pay for any other dental care you need in the future due to the loss of your tooth. Keep in mind that some Medicare Advantage plans may cover limited dental care, depending on the plan’s specific benefits. If you get your Medicare benefits through a Medicare Advantage plan, contact your plan to see what dental services may be covered. —Marci Dear Marci, I cannot afford to pay the $104.90 Medicare Part B premium each month.

What —Marci is a Medicare Savings Program? —Roman Dear Roman, A Medicare Savings Program (MSP) is an assistance program that can help pay your Medicare costs if you have limited finances. MSPs can help pay your Medicare Part B premium, which is the amount you pay each month to have Medicare medical insurance. It may also pay other Medicare costs, depending on your income. To qualify for an MSP, you must have Medicare Part A, the part of Medicare that covers most inpatient and hospital care, and meet your state’s income and asset eligibility guidelines. MSP eligibility limits vary by state, so you should contact your State Health

Light household help – Assistance with laundry, housekeeping, meal preparation and other household tasks. Convalescent care – Help after an illness or surgery. Respite care – Help at times when your family is away and unavailable. Escorting – Assistance with doctor’s appointments, shopping or other errands. Personal care – Assistance with medication reminders, bathing, dressing, and toileting. These services are generally paid directly by the client, through their longterm care insurance, should they have it, or the Veteran Aid & Attendance pension benefit, if applicable. “When choosing caregiving help, while you have the option to hire someone independently, we recommend going through an agency,” says Bobbie Beharrie. Using an agency can provide more reliability and certainty that the provider is insured, has been properly screened and trained, and is legally able to work in the U.S. Finally, in the event that the caregiver is unable to provide services on their scheduled day, an agency with 24/7 availability can staff a suitable alternative, which may not be the case when hiring an individual.

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland
A
ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “Home-Based Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health, such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide these services throughout Maryland. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Maryland Health Care Commission provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations.
ing services, home health aides and one or more other services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy or social services. Several kinds of health care staff may provide care based on your needs. Home health agencies participate in the Medicare program and many health insurance programs include a home health benefit. A physician referral is required, so it is a good idea to talk to your doctor if you think you might need this type of care. Usually a medical reason is needed for these services to be reimbursed by Medicare or insurance. Generally, home-based care is appropriate whenever a person prefers to stay at home but needs ongoing care that cannot easily be provided by family and friends.
Nurse Referral Service Agencies
These agencies screen and refer licensed nurses, home health aides, homemakers, live-in caretakers, and Home Health Agencies companions for individuals needing Home health agencies provide nurs- help in their home. The person seeking
assistance contracts directly with the individual who will provide the service and may pay the agency or the provider for services.
Residential Services Agencies (RSA)
RSAs provide supportive home care services, that is, assistance with ADLs and/or housekeeping services. It 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 and nursing services are not provided by RSA staff. The person seeking assistance contracts with the agency. RSA services are often paid for by the person using services but may be paid through insurance under some circumstances.

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

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Virginia
I
n Virginia, home care organizations, certified home health agencies, and licensed and certified hospice programs are reviewed by the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification. There are several types of agencies in Virginia that provide these services. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations.
Home Health Agencies
Home health agencies are public or private agencies, organizations or parts of agencies or organizations that meet the requirements for participation in Medicare under 42 CFR 440.70 (d). This indicates these federallycertified agencies provide skilled nursing services and at least one other therapeutic service, e.g. physical, speech or occupational therapy; medical social services; or home health aide services, and they also meet the capitalization requirements under 42 CFR 489.28. An agency may choose to be exempt from state licensure through certification in one of four ways: • The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)
Certification; • Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) Certification; • Medicaid Personal Care Certification; • Medicaid/Medicare Certification. When trying to find a home health agency, ask for their license number. Be specific in asking for the license number issued by the Virginia Department of Health, and not the number for their license to operate a business.
Home Care Organization
The code of Virginia defines a home care organization (HCO) as “a public or private organization, whether operated for profit or not for profit, that provides, at the residence of a patient or individual in the Commonwealth of Virginia, one or more of the following services: 1) home health services, including services provided by or under direct supervision of any health care professional under a medical plan of care in a patient’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to patients who have or are at risk of injury, illness, or a disabling condition and require short-term or long-term interventions; 2) personal care services, including assistance in personal care to include activities of daily living provided in an individual’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to individuals who have or are at risk of illness, injury, or disabling condition; or 3) pharmaceutical services, including services provided in a patient’s residence, which include the dispensing and administration of a drug
or drugs, and parenteral nutritional support, associated patient instruction, and such other services as identified by the Board of Health by regulation.”
Companion Services
In Virginia, companion organizations can provide only chore, companion or homemaker services, in addition to any of the following, without the aforementioned licenses. Companion services can include providing non-routine home maintenance, along with assisting individuals unable to care for themselves with transportation, meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, companionship and household management. Also included is assistance with bathing areas the client cannot reach, fastening client’s clothing, combing hair, brushing dentures, shaving with an electric razor, and providing stabilization to a client while walking. Homemaker services, however, do not include feeding, bed baths, transferring, lifting, putting on braces or other supports, or cutting nails and shaving with a blade. Such services would need to be provided by a licensed HCO or HHA in Virginia.

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