“When we entertain friends, the first thing they mention is our townhome’s 14 ft ceilings. You’d never imagine that a senior living community would have such beautiful homes. It’s a treasure.” Andy and Carol Aastad, Living at Willow Valley Since 2008
Life Lived Forward
Willow Valley is more than a senior living community. It’s a way of life. Of course, it’s about beautiful homes, exceptional cuisine, take-your-breath-away landscaping, and meticulouslymaintained campuses. But even more, it’s a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, the warmth and welcome of neighbors, making the most of your days, and sharing your experiences with those you love. And it’s also the exceptional value of Lifecare, a wise investment that entitles you to long-term care, should you need it.
Visit us. Explore some of our 80+ different floorplans, from cozy studios to 3,300 sq ft townhomes. Get to know interesting people who have come from more than 37 states to make Willow Valley home. Meet our team members who, for nearly 30 years, have created one of the region’s most innovative and financially strong senior living communities. Willow Valley is a place for you to engage, to learn, to enjoy. 877.959.0130 | Lancaster, Pennsylvania | WillowValleyCommunities.org

New cottages are just part of the makeover at Pine Run. The Health Center is getting a thoroughly modern renovation that is patient and family friendly.
In fact, the group has become so much more than just an outlet for her love of the theater. “During the finale of our last performance, we were singing ‘That’s What Friends Are For,’ and I recall thinking that there was no place I’d rather be. I felt comfortable and energized, and that’s what this group is really all about,” she remembered. Frank Fay couldn’t agree more. As Rita’s fellow co-chair of The Curtain Call Players, he is also rekindling a lifelong love. Much like Rita, he started performing in high school. One of his first major roles was in “Harvey,” and he went on to star in community theater productions throughout college. After graduating from college, Frank joined the army and served in Korea. Once he returned home, he married Anne, and the couple had six children and now has 15 grandchildren. While his large family and thriving career forced his love for the theater to the backburner, he began returning to the stage after his children left home. The Fays decided to move to Pine Run after their youngest daughter, who lives nearby, announced she was having twins.
The couple decided that a move would allow them to help out with the children while enjoying a carefree retirement lifestyle. Shortly after moving, Frank became involved with The Curtain Call Players. For him, the best part of being back on stage is the genuine connection between the actors and the audiences. “When you see people laughing and clapping, you can sense a real bond with the audience,” he said. “It’s a pleasure to get in front of them and know that they really are enjoying themselves.” That connection also extends to Frank’s fellow actors. “These plays can be hilarious, and we all laugh and have fun, especially when we are ad-libbing. But ultimately, we are all very dedicated to making the plays the best we can,” he said. Obviously, The Curtain Call Players are doing something very right. Their performances are always packed, with standing room only for families and guests. Perhaps most notably, both the Players and the audience always leave the theater with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts— proving that laughing matters.

Learning and Connecting By Christy Brudin
F
orget the old rhyme, “No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks.” At Village College, the continuing education program at Cathedral Village, the pencils are sharp, there are only good books, and the teachers and students are friends and neighbors. Cathedral Village is a premier continuing care retirement community in Philadelphia, Pa. The Village College has been keeping the community’s academic residents engaged in learning for more than 18 years. Operated and taught entirely by residents, the College offers a dynamic and diverse array of courses throughout the year—and includes no tests and no grades. Few residents know the ins and outs of the Village College better than those who have served as Dean. This distinguished group of volunteers includes Edward “Ted” Shakespeare, Richard “Dick” Schaphorst and Emily “Emmy” Starr. Ted Shakespeare helped co-found the Village College shortly after moving to Cathedral Village with his wife in 1996. He has served as Dean of the College more than once and as Provost. He also holds the distinction of having taught more courses than any other resident, with his class offerings ranging from science to his personal favorite: Shakespeare. Now 90, Ted still teaches every quarter. His Shakespeare courses in particular are a big draw largely because of the compelling soliloquies the former college actor delivers. However, he also focuses on student participation. “People bring their years of wisdom and experience to these classes, and it really enriches the experience for all of us,” he explained. For Ted, a former educator with degrees in biology and embryology, moving to Cathedral Village has meant continuing to grow as he grows older. “When we arrived here almost 18 years ago, my wife and I were quite active,” he said. “We are not as active now, but we are still involved in this stimulating community.” The outgoing Dean of Village College, Dick Schaphorst, has also thrived in Cathedral Village’s intellectual environment—much to his surprise. “I wasn’t initially in favor of moving here, but I came because my wife has some health challenges,” he admitted. “I have been so pleased; I have so many opportunities to be active and to socialize with interesting peers.” Dick has served as Dean of the College for the last two years. A professional engineer, he has also taught several

technical courses on topics ranging from wind energy to fracking. He’s proud to help advance the College’s focus on courses taught by residents for residents. “We are now attracting teachers because of the College, and these are high-caliber educators—published poets, authors and historians,” he said. As the incoming Dean of Village College, Emmy Starr is looking forward to continuing the impressive legacy her predecessors have built. Having already served as Provost, Emmy is familiar with the amount of work that goes into running the College and is excited about filling the top post. “The process of putting together our courses every term is very thoughtful, and we have so many wonderful options,” Emmy noted. She went on to describe courses in an incredible array of subject areas, ranging from constitutional law to the classics of literature. Much like her peers, Emmy has thrived since moving to Cathedral Village. “I know I have more friends now than I ever did before,” she said. “I’m not a doctor, but I think socializing is great for your mental health.” At Cathedral Village’s Village College, students and teachers alike look forward to the start of each term—to new teachers, new books and new connections. They are loving learning, and they are certainly loving life.

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

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

The Impact of Arthritis Arthritis impacts the daily activities of: • Roughly one in 10 adults in the U.S. • Nearly half of all adults with arthritis. • More than 15 percent of obese adults. • More than a quarter of adults with heart disease or diabetes. Arthritis commonly co-occurs with obesity, heart disease and diabetes: • Half of all adults with heart disease or diabetes have arthritis. • One-third of obese adults have arthritis. — Findings by CDC Information adapted from The Arthritis Foundation (www. arthritis.org). The Foundation is committed to raising awareness and reducing the unacceptable impact of this serious and painful disease, which can severely damage joints and rob people of living life to its fullest.
QUESTION:
Do You Suffer From Knee Pain? I have knee pain from arthritis. Is there anything I can do to relieve the pain? Is knee replacement my only option?
Osteoarthritis of the knee is the #1 leading cause of disability in the U.S. Over 27 million people suffer with knee arthritis and that number continues to grow. With knee arthritis, the cartilage breaks down and wears away, leaving the bones to rub together causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion. As the cartilage breaks down, the knee loses its lubrication fluid. With a natural substance called Hyalgan, the lubrication is restored and many patients experience amazing pain relief within only a few weeks. I would say that my knee is 70% better. When I came here the first time I couldn’t walk at all. Now I can walk and I don’t have that much pain. I can get in and out of the shower now. I’m very satisfied with my results. You did a good job!
Quenton L.
Will my insurance cover Hyalgan?
This procedure is covered by most major insurance companies including Medicare. Our insurance department pre-verifies every patient to confirm insurance coverage.
Before the procedure my knee pain was terrible. Now I have no knee pain when I walk. I’m very happy with the results. Helen C.
Francine L.
What is Hyalgan and how does it work?
Hyalgan is a natural lubricating fluid that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber inside the knee joint, enabling your knee to work. The substance in Hyalgan is hyularonic acid which is normally found in high levels in healthy joints. Replacing the hyularonic acid with Hyalgan lubricates the joint and reduces pain. Hyalgan has helped millions of people manage their knee pain for more than 25 years. Hyalgan has been administered over 40 million times and has been proven to provide long-lasting relief of knee pain from osteoarthritis. It used to be difficult for me to sleep because of the knee pain but now I can sleep throughout the night with no problem at all. My knee used to be swollen all the time but it isn’t swollen anymore. Jose F.
What if you already tried knee injections?
After only four visits I have absolutely no pain. I came here with pain, and now I have no pain. The staff is “top notch’ and do their jobs well.
If you have had injections like this in the past and experienced poor results, there is still hope! Many doctors in this area offer similar injections, but very few use precision flouroscopy guidance. Flouroscopy guidance ensures that the pain relieving Hyalgan reaches the knee capsule where it bonds with the joint fluid to create a lubrication and cushioning layer. Without flouroscopy, it is estimated that doctors “miss” the capsule over 30% of the time resulting in poor results. We want each and every one of our patients to have the greatest chance of success, so every injection is done with precision flouroscopy guidance to ensure that the Hyalgan gets into the capsule 100% of the time. Because of this patients who previously felt little to no relief with “blind” injections are now getting excellent results in our office.
So how do I know if your knee pain treatment program will help me?
If you are tired of suffering with painful arthritis of the knee, and you want to see if the latest advances in non-surgical treatment can help, all you have to do is call 610-850-9191 to set up a risk free consultation with Dr. Paris. During the consultation all of your questions will be answered in a warm and friendly environment. Knee replacement surgery is a very extreme measure to take without considering all of your other options first. Once it’s done, there is no turning back. For that reason we encourage you to schedule an appointment to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatment. You can always have more radical procedures performed later. We are proud to offer our patients a comprehensive knee pain treatment program that includes the best non-surgical methods to relieve pain all under one roof. We look forward to having the opportunity to help your knee pain. Call to schedule an appointment today!

Medical Supplies Medical supply products help individuals cope with and manage the symptoms of illness or old age.

A New Philosophy on Healthf u l Aging E ig h t D i me n sion s of We llne s s n
By Cher yl Anderson
With Americans living longer than ever – and, therefore, with “retirement living” lasting longer than ever – a new philosophy on healthful aging is emerging. Based upon the concept of “eight dimensions of wellness,” this whole-person philosophy focuses on eight categories of personal wellness development that enables individuals to build rich, fulfilling and healthy lives during their retirement years. 1. Intellectual: Expand your mind. Studies have shown that exercising the brain helps people stay mentally sharp. Join a literacy group. Write your own life biography to pass down to your grandchildren. Take time to explore the endless options for stretching your mind – and your imagination. 2. Physical: Strengthen your body. Your physical health can affect every part of your life. Make maintaining – and even enhancing – your body a top priority. Take a belly dancing class. Join the local gym. Lower your cholesterol with a healthier diet. 3. Emotional: Enhance your outlook on life. Retirees often miss the fulfillment and sense of accomplishment they had during their careers. Others feel the emptiness of their “nests” more strongly than before. Turn to family and friends to help you adjust to changes in lifestyle. This can lead to improving your personal relationships, regaining your zest for life and bolstering your self-esteem. 4. Social: Take advantage of increased free time to connect with people who share your interests. Start a quilting club. Plan a family reunion. Start a water volleyball league. 5. Spiritual: Explore and deepen your beliefs. When entering a new stage of life, many people find the need to draw strength from personal faith. Retirement is a great time to pursue spiritual goals – to find greater purpose in your life. Sing in a choir. Meditate with a yoga class. Participate in a Bible study. Research the beliefs and customs of other faiths. 6. Vocational: During retirement, many people enjoy using their wisdom and experience to give something back to society. Consider using your talents to help other people, which can also help you develop a sense of pride and personal achievement. Mentor a child. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Play the piano for a local senior center. Or maybe full retirement isn’t for you. Consider starting a business or working part-time. 7. Environmental: Connect with the natural environment. “Going Green,” recycling and living a sustainable lifestyle isn’t just good for the environment. It’s good for people, too. Grow an organic vegetable garden. Participate in recycling programs or community clean-up days. Build a bird house or make a bird feeder to encourage the local bird population. Use chemical-free, non-toxic cleaners. 8. H ealth Services: Exercising and eating right are just the start. In retirement, preventive healthcare and a goal-oriented approach to wellness are keys to healthful aging. By taking a goal-oriented approach to achieving all eight dimensions of wellness, many seniors are living lives that are more active and fulfilling than they ever could have imagined.

supplementing your medicare coverage n
By Susan Morisato
M
edicare is a vital part of the health insurance portfolio for millions of Americans, including baby boomers who are aging into the Medicare program at the rate of 10,000 a day. As boomers review their options for how they can receive their Medicare coverage, they’ll discover that they’ll need to find ways to pay for the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare (Parts A and B) doesn’t cover, such as deductibles, copays and coinsurance. Medicare supplement insurance can help boomers and other beneficiaries limit and more accurately predict their out-ofpocket costs, giving them peace of mind in the event of an unexpected medical issue. Boomers who decide that a Medicare supplement is right for them should consider several factors when deciding which plan to choose.
Selecting a Medicare Supplement Plan First, identify your needs, and then select a Medicare supplement plan that will best meet them. In most states, Medicare enrollees may select from any one of 10 standardized Medicare supplement plans approved for sale within their state of residence. If you want to supplement Medicare’s prescription drug benefits, you’ll need to consider enrolling in a Part D plan.

s anyone who has faced a gap in insurance coverage knows, the prospect of being uninsured—or underinsured—can be both scary and overwhelming. Such was certainly the case for Margaret Harrington when she lost her job— and the insurance that went with it. “I needed a Medicare Insurance Plan that was reasonable, since the company I worked for had closed, and I was no longer covered,” Margaret recalled. “I was referred to John Billetdoux by a close friend of mine who recommended him highly.” A sales agent and Medicare specialist with BGA Insurance Group, John Billetdoux helped Margaret evaluate her individual needs and select the Medicare supplement plan that was right for her. “The special attention he gave

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.

power of attorney an important document for you n By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA) While your will lets you appoint the person, your executor, who will be responsible for the disposition of your assets after death, a durable power of attorney lets you appoint the person, your agent, who will manage your financial and medical affairs if you become disabled or incapacitated during your life. You can give your agent many powers, including, but not limited to, the power to pay bills, make gifts, make bank deposits, buy and sell real estate and securities, sign income tax returns, begin a legal claim, make important medical decisions, and authorize your admission to a medical or nursing facility. If you or a loved one becomes disabled or incapacitated and there is no power of attorney in place, then the court will have to appoint a guardian to care for you and manage your affairs. This pro-
cess is expensive, because both your attorney and physician are involved, and a court hearing is required. Upon the court’s appointment of a guardian, you will lose certain legal rights to act on your own behalf, and the guardian will be empowered to act for you. You may revoke the powers given to your agent at any time. Since your agent must have actual knowledge of the revocation of the power of attorney for it to be valid, the revocation should be in writing and presented personally or sent via certified mail to your agent. Also, upon your death, your power of attorney will terminate upon actual notice to your agent. Taking the time to prepare your power of attorney now while you are healthy and able to do so will make the process easier for your relatives and loved ones,
who will be responsible for managing your financial and medical affairs in the event of your disability or incapacity. Without a durable power of attorney, the court may become involved in your affairs. Mr. Gummer is a Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) by the National Elder Law Foundation.
If you or a loved one becomes disabled or incapacitated and there is no power of attorney in place, the court will have to appoint a guardian to manage your affairs.

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 who 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

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

B
uilder confidence in the 55+ housing market for the fourth quarter of 2013 was up sharply, according to the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) latest 55+ Housing Market Index (HMI). All segments of the market—single-family homes, condominiums and multifamily rental—registered strong increases compared to the same quarter a year ago. The single-family index increased 20 points to a level of 48, which is the highest fourth-quarter reading since the inception of the index in 2008 and the ninth consecutive quarter of year over year improvements. “We are seeing continued improvement in the 55+ housing market because consumers have gained confidence in the economy and are able to sell their current homes and move into a new home or an apartment that fits the lifestyle they desire,” said Robert Karen, chairman of NAHB’s 50+ Housing Council and managing member of the Symphony Development Group. “We expect this optimism from builders and developers to carry on into 2014.” There are separate 55+ HMIs for two segments of the 55+ housing market: single-family homes and multifamily condominiums. Each 55+ HMI measures builder sentiment based on a survey that asks if current sales, prospective

buyer traffic and anticipated six-month sales for that market are good, fair or poor (high, average or low for traffic). An index number below 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as poor than good. All of the components of the 55+ single-family HMI showed significant growth from a year ago: present sales climbed 26 points to 53, expected sales for the next six months rose 24 points to 62 and traffic of prospective buyers increased 9 points to 33. The 55+ multifamily condo HMI posted a gain of 16 points to 35, which is
the highest fourth-quarter reading since the inception of the index. All 55+ multifamily condo HMI components increased compared to a year ago. Present sales increased 20 points to 37, expected sales for the next six months increased 15 points to 40 and traffic of prospective buyers increased 9 points to 30. The 55+ multifamily rental indices also showed strong gains in the third quarter. Present production increased 12 points to 43, expected future production rose 12 points to 46, current demand for existing units increased 16 points to 54 and future demand increased 16 points to 55. “The 55+ segment of the housing market contains more discretionary purchases, so as expected it has taken longer for that segment to join the housing recovery,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “The 20 point year-over-year increase in 55+ HMI for single-family homes matches earlier gains in the NAHB/Wells Fargo HMI for the overall single-family market and surpasses the more recent gains in the other housing segments.” The National Association of Home Builders is a Washington-based trade association representing professionals involved in all aspects of residential and light commercial construction.

sumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. After finding a qualified agent, homeowners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home.

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

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

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

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

HOW TO
be a balanced caregiver
By Jody Gastfriend, LICSW
C n
aring for a parent, grandparent, spouse or loved one has its challenges and rewards. It can be gratifying as well as frustrating, with no clear roadmap on how to proceed. More than 65 million people in the United States care for a parent or disabled adult, and of those caregivers, more than a third still have minor children living at home. Middle-aged adults may find themselves sandwiched between limit testing teenagers, pushing for more independence, and aging parents, who want to hold onto the independence they still have. Is there a way for caregivers, whether you are a daughter, son, spouse or partner, to juggle it all without feeling depleted and guilt-ridden? The answer is yes, but it takes time, patience, forethought and
compassion – for yourself as well as everyone else. Sometimes, the best thing a caregiver can do is to take a step back, breathe deeply and evaluate their routine. Consider how caregiving rituals can be handled more effectively, without abandoning career, family and other aspects of life. Here are few things to consider: 1. Have conversations early and often. Unless your loved ones are completely incapacitated, you must include them in discussions about their care and accommodations. Approach decision-making from a place of love and respect. Many caregivers get frustrated by their parent or grandparent’s resistance to help. But that resistance may be a need to exert some control, espeContinued on page 82

If you can help them understand why you feel they need a home health aide, a certain medical specialist, a safety-related home renovation or even a new domicile, you often get better participation in making the change. Rarely are plans made in just one conversation. It may be a series of conversations, lasting months or even years. Be patient and recognize that your loved one has the right to make decisions, even if you think they are bad ones.

5. Explore community resources. Finding a handicap-accessible transportation service to take your mom to the hairdresser or to visit friends can go a long way toward maintaining her mental and emotional well-being. If Mom can’t leave the house, look into religious organizations, senior centers and local areas on aging that offer home supports or social calls. If your senior feels isolated and needs more company, sometimes variety can spice up life. Many colleges and schools of social work have volunteer programs for students interested in aging studies. 6. Reassess your routine every two weeks. Or more often if conditions are changing rapidly. See what’s working and what isn’t. Talk to your parents and grandparents, spouse or partner—find out if they’re happy with the care they’re getting, or if they’d prefer more, less or different. Consider whether your loved one is still safe living at home and whether you feel their mental or physical condition warrants a change. And don’t be discouraged by setbacks, along with an occasional crisis or two. If you keep yourself grounded, tend to your own needs, and are open to support, you will be able to withstand the ups and downs of caregiving. And hopefully enjoy the journey as well.

Among the many exquisite sights to see in this particular area, perhaps one of the most reputable is Longwood Gardens. This premier horticultural display with 11,000 different types of plants both indoors and out, has grown since the early 20th century. Throughout the year, Longwood beckons visitors with beautiful colors and spectacular scenery. While at Longwood Gardens, tourists can explore the Peirce-du Pont home. Quaker farmer Joshua Peirce built a section of the brick home in 1730, which his successors then extended. In 1906, Pierre S. du Pont purchased the property to save its trees and modified it into his country home and first conservatory.

A Living Legacy
W
By Christy Brudin
hether it’s a family business, an accomplished offspring or a collection of worldly goods, most people strive to leave an impression on the world. Only a select few leave behind a legacy that continues to grow and thrive for generations: a living legacy. William Hood Dunwoody left a legacy behind that has not only lived; it has flourished. A humble man with a deep respect for life and an appreciation for all mankind, Mr. Dunwoody applied these ideals by founding a home for convalescent men. In 1974, this home became Dunwoody Village, one of the Delaware Valley’s first continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). In fact, the long history of Dunwoody Village, which is located in Newtown Square, Pa., can be traced all the way back to a land grant made by William Penn in 1681. Today, the residents of Dunwoody Village are the proud keepers of this legacy. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of Dunwoody Village, and the residents are
commemorating the milestone with a year-long celebration. The community is also expanding to welcome even more new residents. Dunwoody Village is now taking reservations for its newest development, Penrose Carriage Homes. These new villa-style homes for adults ages 55 and over feature amenities including gas fireplaces, great rooms, dens, custom kitchens, covered terraces and two-car garages. Despite all the luxuries the new homes offer, the Penrose residents will undoubtedly find that the best amenity is being a part of the larger Dunwoody community. They will enjoy full access to all that the community has to offer—from world-class dining to diverse activities to a fitness center and indoor pool. New residents will also have access to the excellent healthcare that is synonymous with Dunwoody including rehabilitation, skilled nursing, personal care and memory support. While the new construction is exciting, the groundbreaking is just one of many activities throughout 2014 that will highlight the proud history and promising future of Dunwoody Village. In fact, residents are celebrating the

community’s anniversary with events ranging from a barn dance to an open house at the on-campus history studio. Norma Winther, the chair and founder of Dunwoody’s history committee, and Pat McCarter, a resident and former member of the community’s Board of Trustees, are among the many residents who are helping to commemorate this milestone. “It is so exciting that we can trace our lineage all the way back to 1681,” noted Norma. Pat added, “It’s fun to spend this time remembering how we got started and important to reflect on our goals.” Like many of their fellow residents, both women are proud of Dunwoody’s long history of providing an active and engaging lifestyle —a history they both benefit from in the present. Dunwoody stood out for Norma because of its wide range of entertainment and activity programs. “Most of the programs here are run by the residents, and I felt that since I really liked the diversity of programs, I’d also like the people who created them,” she said. For Pat, the decision to move to Dunwoody was easy. “From my time on the board, I had a pretty good feel for what Dunwoody was all about. I liked what I saw then, and I still do,” she noted. One of the primary draws for her was the community’s homelike environment and picturesque location. Pat originally moved to Dunwoody with her husband, who passed away several years ago. While losing her husband was difficult, it was made easier by the fact that they had already established themselves in the community. “I never had to be alone. I have so many friends here who had already been through losing a spouse and could help me,” she explained. Norma has had a similar experience. “I am never lonely,” she said. “In fact, we all wonder how we ever had time to do everything when we worked full time.” One of the things that keeps Norma busiest is her work in the History Studio, an apartment that showcases historic documents. With the help of other residents and employees, Norma has built a mini museum packed with valuable materials that document a distinguished history. Looking at the community’s history shows an impressive cultural shift in what it means to be older, noted Norma. “In the 70s, seniors started to rebel. They no longer wanted to

be warehoused in a spare room in a family member’s home and sit and wait to die,” she said. “That was the impetus for communities like this—and that is still the great thing about living at Dunwoody. Here, we can still engage—still learn and grow and live.” The residents at Dunwoody Village are very much engaged, and they continue to grow just as the community does. Whether they are long-time residents or new arrivals, each and every resident is, after all, part of a living legacy.

Brandywine Battlefield: This historic site brings to life the largest single-day battle of the Revolutionary War. Every year in early September, tourists can watch a reenactment of this notorious day during which General George Washington and his men were defeated by British General William Howe’s forces.

can illustrations and landscape paintings. Aside from the beauty found in its displayed art, it is also the site for the Brandywine Conservancy Wildflower and Native Plants Gardens designed by horticulturist F.M. Mooberry. In 1979, Lady Bird Johnson dedicated the gardens to Ford B. Draper and Henry A. Thouron, the two individuals who played an integral role in the conservancy’s establishment. Here, wildflowers, such as Blue Lobelias and Yellow Tickseed Sunflowers, bloom in September and October, adding to the vivid display of colorful leaves.
Fun for the Family For those looking for activities catering to a younger crowd, there is Linvilla Orchards, a 300-acre farm located in Delaware County. With its rich agriculture, this attraction provides an educational experience and various entertaining activities. Families can visit Pumpkinland, pick their own fresh produce, take a hayride or play at Playland Playground. The farm’s world famous pies lure visitors, as well as its festivals featuring costumed characters, games and music. Kennett Square is known as the Mushroom Capital of the World due to the more than a million pounds of mushrooms produced in the region every year. As a major point in the march to the Battle of Brandy-
wine during the American Revolution and with its citizens having helped slaves escape on the Underground Railroad, Kennett Square also boasts an interesting history. Each year in September, the Kennett Mushroom Festival is held, followed by a microbrew festival in October. With celebrations for Cinco de Mayo and the recently established annual springfest in the park, residents and visitors are sure to have fun any time of year. Chester and Delaware Counties offer quite a range of activities that can provide a fun and educational experience no matter one’s age. In these areas, people will find that the beautiful flowers are almost always in bloom, history is brought to life and the celebrations never cease.

We came here to live, and we have lived so well.” Whether they are charter residents or new additions, White Horse Village’s residents all benefit from the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of a community that has a proud history and an exciting future. In the last 25 years, the community has grown and changed to better meet the needs of the area’s active seniors—but one thing will never change: new friends and neighbors are always welcome.

Exhibiting art in a 19th-century grist mill, the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford is internationally known for its collection of works by three generations of Wyeths. The museum also features a large collection of still life, landscape paintings and American illustration.
Nicknamed “Everybody’s Hometown,” Media embraces its easy-going vibe and small-town atmosphere. On State Street, shopkeepers, restaurateurs and locals are on a first-name basis, and festivals and events keep the main drag buzzing throughout the year.

HOW TO
F
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving
or those unfamiliar with available living options, the image of the “senior community” may need a serious makeover. Many individuals still think of retirement communities as dreary “facilities” with an institutional feel. This could not be further from the truth today. Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice. In fact, individuals often choose to move into an active adult community as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. The amenity-filled communities are often adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities. Not Just Active, but Pro-Active Active adults say they’re making the move because they want to enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle, not because of deteriorating health. Simply put, it is their choice. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several active adult residences are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. This continuum of care allows active adults to make the most of the present while planning for the future.
Gaining Independence Active adult communities are residences full of options, and most of the costs are included in the living fees. They are ideal for retirees, but are not limited to those who have stopped working. Many residents continue to put in hours at work, while others fully explore longlost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenancefree yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with favorite hobbies and group activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. Instead of navigating traffic when going to the gym or beauty shop, residents can often walk a few blocks to an on-site facility. There is also something to be said for having an elegant dining room in the community, although cooking in one’s private residence is still an option. What to Look For You can start by requesting an information packet from every active adult community you are considering. Make sure to read it carefully, and keep them all organized in a folder or file cabinet. Once you’ve narrowed down your op-
Active Adult communities seek to meet the needs of Boomers by providing environments in which individuals can enjoy the many amenities of a community lifestyle.
tions by perusing the brochures, schedule a visit to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. If you attended college or had to consider employment in a new area, remember the criteria you used in making that decision. This is no different. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

boomers are retiring
Despite the popular belief that Baby Boomers will continue to work well past the traditional retirement age of 65, those born in 1946 are retiring in droves, according to Transitioning into Retirement: The MetLife Study of Baby Boomers at 65. This study is a follow–up to the 2008 MetLife Mature Market Institute study, Boomer Bookends: Insights into the Oldest and Youngest Boomers (released in 2009), which looked at the same segment of Boomers at age 62. The study reports that 59 percent of the first Boomers to turn 65 are at least partially retired – 45 percent are completely retired and 14 percent are retired, but working part-time. Of those still working, 37 percent say they’ll retire in the next year, and on average, plan to do so by the time they’re 68. Half (51%) of those who are retired say they retired earlier than they had expected. Of those who retired early, fourin-ten say they did so for health reasons. The majority (85%) of respondents consider themselves healthy, and almost all (96%) retirees say they like retirement at least somewhat. Seven-in-ten (70%) like it a lot. Almost two-thirds, or 63 percent of respondents, are already collecting Social Security benefits, and on average began doing so at the age of 63, defying the conventional wisdom that people would

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

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

I know some day it might be me in his shoes. I have many kids, and I am setting an example for them. This is the circle of life,” says Bill Cummings, of Cummings Financial Organization. In the musical “The Lion King,” there is a song called the “Circle of Life” (go ahead and sing it). Part of the lyrics state: “It’s the circle of life. And it moves us all. Through despair and hope, through faith and love. Till we find our place, on the path unwinding, in the circle, the circle of life.” “I had a life moment last week with one of my kids that made me think of the circle of life and how it has affected my business,” says Cummings. “One of our grown daughters was

The circle of life has affected Cummings in significant ways. His father has Alzheimer’s and is in an Alzheimer’s unit at Horizon Bay Memory Care in Tampa, Florida. Cummings serves as his caretaker and helps with responsibilities such as bills, shopping, doctor appointments, etc. “I am also responsible for making sure he is living in the right facility and has the proper care,” says Cummings. After experiencing the difficulties of learning “Care-Giving 101” on his own, Cummings has provided four essential caregiving tips, so that you don’t have to learn the hard way: 1. Take care of yourself. Being the care taker to your loved one can be a truly gratifying experience, but in order for this to be the case, it is essential that you remember to take the time to maintain your own health and well-being. Remember, you cannot help others if you do not help yourself.
2. Create a team of elder care specialists. Seniors are often treated for a wide array of medical conditions. Navigating through the various types of physicians best suited for your loved one can seem like a daunting task, but a geriatrician is a medical doctor trained to help you in matters specific to seniors. 3. Do the numbers. Determining cash flow and what can be afforded for their care is essential. Certain Certified Public Accountants offer specialized services, which are available to meet the unique needs of seniors and their families. 4. Hire the right people. As a caregiver, you are essentially a project manager, and you cannot do everything. For this reason, it is important to do your homework when hiring institutions, attorneys, social workers, therapists, etc. Research reviews, contact references and take your time when making your decisions.
“circle of life” caught him off-guard. He was not prepared when his father had a stroke four years ago. “I was a busy business owner and dealing with my Dad was not on my schedule,” he says. “Where was I to turn for advice, the Internet? I had to drive to multiple places, see multiple doctors, interview caretakers, etc. Boy, did I make a lot of mistakes. This affected me so much that I made a pact that I did not want any of my friends or clients to go through this experience.” Adding Elder Care to his practice because of this “pact,” Cummings has developed strategic relationships with caregivers, elder law attorneys, home downsizers, therapists, social workers, physicians and bill payers. “I help families assess healthcare costs, living costs, and how to pay for it while maximizing what goes to their loved ones. It is truly gratifying to help someone through this process.”
Bill Cummings is President and Owner Cummings often reflects on how the of Cummings Financial Organization.

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

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

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.
The VA’s enrollment system is based Veterans who enlisted after September on priority groups. Congress determines 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous the VA’s funding annually, which impacts months or the full period for which they the number of Veterans were called.

and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, they will be assigned a priority group. If an individual is eligible for more than one priority group, the VA will place them in the highest group for which they are eligible. Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for long-term care in some instances. Long-term care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/ or provide support for managing an ongoing illness. Long-term care, as defined by the VA, may be provided in a person’s home, a community site, residential setting, or nursing home. Eligibility for services covered by the VA are determined based on a Veteran’s need for ongoing treatment, service availability in their area, financial eligibility, priority group status and insurance coverage. Longterm care services may also be covered though Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or private funds. In some instances, Veterans may be able to use the Aid and Attendance Allowance to cover needed long-term care. The Aid and Attendance Allowance is an additional monthly monetary benefit
provided by the VA for certain Veterans who receive a pension. To be eligible, Veterans must: • Require the help of another person for everyday personal care needs (such as bathing, dressing, or toileting); or • Be bedridden; or • Live in a nursing home and be physically or mentally incapacitated; or • Have poor eyesight (5/200 corrected visual acuity or less in both eyes). The VA also offers a Housebound Allowance to certain eligible Veterans who are restricted to their residence because of a permanent disability. This additional monthly monetary benefit can be used to help pay for needed care services
provided in the Veteran’s home. To apply for either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387). Information adapted from http://www. va.gov/geriatrics/ and from Health Care Benefits Overview 2012, a publication of the VA available at http://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/resources/epublications.asp.

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

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

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

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

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.

Hospice
find hospice care A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. What is Hospice Care? Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily rou-
tines, surrounded by their treasured pos- How Do I Pay for Hospice?

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

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

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

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

there’s no place like home
A
ccording to the AARP, 80 percent of American seniors desire to stay in their homes for the remainder of their lives. This process is known as “aging in place.” Seniors choose to age in place for many reasons: proximity to family, familiarity, convenience, a desire to maintain independence, as well as safety and security. With advancing age there are physical changes related to declining health and chronic diseases which may compromise a person’s ability to remain living independently. There are also social changes that may negatively impact a senior’s ability to live independently: isolation from family and friends, loss of peers, children living far away and a changing neighborhood. There are two things to consider when making the decision to age in place. First, seniors and their loved ones should conduct a thorough assessment of any adaptations the home might need, to meet any physical limitations the senior may have now or as they age. To meet the growing demand for home modifications to suit the needs of seniors, there are many building contractors who specialize in remodeling for seniors. You may want to seek out a Certified Aging in Place (CAPS) professional who has received trained in the unique needs of seniors and how to modify homes so someone can live there longer. You could also consult an occupational therapist. THE MEDICAL TEAM, a home health agency that serves Northern Virginia, has qualified Occupational Therapists who provide home evaluation and modification recommendations to promote independence and achieve a safer home environment. Second, seniors may benefit from outside help on an occasional or ongoing basis to ensure they can safely remain at home and lessen any feelings of loneliness. “Signs that additional help is needed could include missed doctor’s appointments, laundry piling up or an
empty fridge and pantry. Just a little extra assistance can increase day-to-day safety and prolong independence,” says Bobbie Beharrie, RN, Director of Personal Care Services for THE MEDICAL TEAM. Services that can be offered in the home to help seniors age in place can include: Companionship – A friendly visit just to talk, play a game or have a cup of tea. 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.
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.

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

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, I 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 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 Dear Marci, My mother has Original Medicare and has been receiving therapy from a speech-language pathologist on a regular basis. She recently received a notice from her therapist that mentioned a $1,920 therapy cap. What is a therapy cap? —Vlad
Dear Vlad, A therapy cap is a limit placed on the amount of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology that Medicare will cover in a given year. Therapy caps only apply if your mother gets her Medicare benefits through Original Medicare, the traditional Medicare program administered by the federal government. Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare private health plans, may apply therapy caps, but are not required to do so.

marci’s medicare answers In 2014, the therapy cap is $1,920, meaning that your mother can get up to $1,920 worth of combined physical therapy and speech-language pathology services or up to $1,920 worth of occupational therapy from outpatient health care providers. Note that physical therapy and speech-language pathology services are combined to meet the therapy cap. In contrast, occupational therapy is counted by itself when determining the therapy cap. If your mother reaches the $1,920 therapy cap in 2014, Medicare may make an exception to the therapy cap limit and continue to cover her therapy services. In order for this to occur, her speech-language pathologist or therapist must indicate your mother’s 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

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.
• 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 injuries they cause are alarming. For instance: • In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries, ac- Avoiding Falls cording to the CDC. One of the simplest ways that older • The death rates from falls among older adults can reduce their risk of falling is men and women have risen sharply over by exercising. Exercising helps improve Continued on page 178 the past decade (CDC).

balance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; weightbearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. 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. 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. Information adapted from the Centers for Disease Control. More information is available at www.cdc.gov/HomeandRecreationalSafety/Falls/adultfalls.html.

T
he year 2006 took a toll on Kim Moyer’s family. As her parents were approaching their 60th wedding anniversary that June, her father passed away. Just a few months later, her mother Dorothy suffered a massive stroke. As a result, Kim, the youngest of six, took the responsibility of seeing that her mom received the appropriate care. Dorothy spent two weeks in the hospital before entering a rehabilitation facility. In addition to the speech and cognitive effects from her stroke, she also suffered from the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease and had knee problems. It was her wish, however, to remain at home and although Kim and her oldest sister were living with Dorothy, they knew they would need additional assistance. “My mother said she never wanted to go to a nursing home,” said Kim. “As long as we could do it physically and financially we were

HOW TO
make aging in place possible
professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life becomes too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing common remodeling projects and on how to combat common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS specialist is that they will draw from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized and thorough plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typical modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS professionals are mostly remodelers, but a number of general
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.
contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was devel-
oped by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP in order to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

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

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

Your Local Agencies On Aging On the local level, Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) coordinate and provide services to meet the needs and concerns of residents who are 60 years of age and older. The Department of Health and Human Services defines an AAA as a “public or private non-profit agency, designated by the state to address the needs and concerns of all older persons at the regional and local levels.” Because of the many services and programs they offer, AAAs are one of the single most important retirement resources. Available services vary by locale, and the list on page 74 is just a sampling of the ones that are routinely offered by AAAs.
