“The help is here when I need it. THEY’RE EXCEPTIONAL...” Anne Welsh—Chandler Hall resident since 2010
Chandler Hall, Personal Care for Persons We Care About. Ask Anne Welsh about personal care at Chandler Hall and she’ll tell you about the convenience of being driven right to her doctor’s door when she has an appointment. But she’ll also tell you about the pastry chef who always has time to share a special recipe. You can also expect her to talk about the way Chandler Hall staff members check on her every night out of real affection and concern. She’ll also probably mention how Chandler Hall gives her a chance to live the active life she’s always lived, whether it’s volunteering for telephone duty, watching on-site performances, or being involved in several of our resident’s committees.

An American Love Story
F
By Christy Brudin
red Pfifferling has a lot of love. He loves opera. He loves learning. He loves his family. He loves his community. He loves his country. And, above all else, he loves his wife. Now a resident at The Landing at Willow Grove, a personal and memory care community in Willow Grove, Penn., Fred’s story is the ultimate love story. In fact, it was his love that led him to his current home. When his wife, Irene, needed additional care for her worsening dementia, Fred moved with her to the community, so they would not have to be separated. Located directly on a beautiful lake, The Landing at Willow Grove provides affordable, resident-centered services, including assistance with the activities of daily living and household tasks, chefprepared meals, transportation, a full schedule of activities
and ample social opportunities. Both born in Nazi Germany, Fred and Irene fled the country separately with their families as young children. Their paths would not cross until years later in the United States—and an American love story would begin. Fred spent his teenage years in New York City with his parents. He inherited his fierce patriotism from his father, a first generation American who fully appreciated all that his adopted country offered him and his family. “My father was a butcher, and with his very first paycheck he bought an American flag,” Fred recalled fondly. “He hung that flag out on every special occasion until the day that he died. He was so happy to be an American.” As a young man, Fred attended City College of New York and attained a degree in electrical engineering. Early on, he
Fred met his wife, Irene, at a single’s dance. Their short courtship led to a long marriage, and their love story continues to this day. Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

knew what he wanted, and he chose his career path against the advice of his high school counselor. “My counselor told me not to study engineering because the War had ended, and the defense industry wasn’t doing well,” he recalled. “I decided that it was my passion, and I didn’t care—or I just didn’t know better.” Fred’s career choice was fortuitous. Shortly after he graduated, America entered the Korean War, and Fred and his classmates were sought after as young engineers. He was immediately hired by Philco and moved to the Philadelphia area. After four years with Philco, Fred got a position with RCA and remained with the company for more than 30 years. He worked on a diverse array of projects over the years, including the first intercontinental ballistic missile and the Apollo program.

Coming Home
enry and Marlene Kalankiewicz have been married for more than 40 years. Together, they raised a beautiful family and have many memories of traveling and enjoying their hometown of Kearny, NJ. During retirement, the Kalankiewiczs loved to take care of their garden, relax outside and go out for social events. However, as they aged, they began experiencing increasing health issues. They realized that keeping up with the responsibilities of a home was too much for them. Marlene was becoming weaker and everyday tasks were increasingly challenging. When she became ill and ended up in the hospital, she was discharged for a six-week stay at a nursing facility. That experience was a wake up call, and the couple realized it was time for a change. Henry knew that he couldn’t take care of himself, let alone Marlene, who clearly needed assistance. After much thought, he decided that a personal care home would be the best option for them. Henry would never settle for just any personal care home though. It had to be a community that felt like “home.” After touring three communities, nothing really captured his interest—until he stumbled across Spring Village at Pocono in East Stroudsburg, PA. Spring Village at Pocono is the ideal personal care home for seniors. Residents and visitors alike describe the community as welcoming and comfortable, with a very homelike feeling. Whatever the season, residents can be found enjoying fun and enriching activities guided by a team of creative and energetic staff members. A large personal care community, Spring Village at Pocono is able to offer a wide range of programs and services to meet the needs of any resident. The community is comprised of two neighborhoods, which allows residents to have all the advantages of living in a small, intimate setting among their peers. With varying levels of support available, Spring Village at Pocono can meet the individual needs of each resident. Whether residents need minimal support and assistance, or help with every aspect of their daily lives, Spring Village can help. The community is a warmer, more affordable option than traditional nursing home care and enables residents to “age in place” in a cozy and homelike setting. “I knew this was the community for us as soon as I walked in,” recalled Henry. “We have our freedom! My wife and I share a room, and we can come and go as we please. Everything about the community is a WOW factor.” Henry and Marlene are now well known faces around Spring Village at Pocono. Marlene keeps everyone laughing with her daily jokes. Henry keeps everyone up-to-date on
“From the time I get up, during every meal, and in every activity, everyone here is looking out for our best interest. That’s very comforting.” – Henry Kalankiewicz, Resident of the Spring Village at Pocono

what’s going on in the community. “It’s the best decision that I ever made,” Henry concluded. “I’ve gained many friends that make me laugh every day. From the time I get up, during every meal, and in every activity, everyone here is looking out for our best interest. That’s very comforting.”

“It is not at all what I expected! Everything is right here. Music, history classes, educational programs, entertainment... I am still learning! There's a beautiful menu! I love the cocktail hour, the fresh popcorn made daily and that the programs are “high level educational” not “gamey.” And I can mess my room up every day and by the time I get back it's all tidy! My daughter is sick of listening to how happy I am. Me being here took a load off of her mind. She is busy with two kids and she is a full time social worker. I am so proud of her and I am so glad she doesn't need to worry about me any more. Who would have thought at my age I would be this happy!” ~ Lois moved into a Brandywine community about a year ago

Five Simple Tips to Reduce Your Fall Risk
n
By Timothy J. Clark, DPT, MS, MBA, Physical Therapist, Senior Director, Operations Support, Nazareth Hospital
As you age, your risk of falling increases. Maintaining good balance and stability depends on important pieces of information received by your brain from the eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs (inner ears). If your balance system isn’t working correctly, it could greatly affect how you walk. Certain conditions and illnesses can also put you at a greater risk of falls, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke and ear infections. But don’t worry, your balance can be strengthened to reduce your risk of falls. You can also reduce your risk of falling by following these simple tips: Make Simple Lifestyle Changes Weak legs and poor balance can increase your risk of falling. Quick and easy weightbearing exercises can help keep you and your bones healthy and strong. If you’re unable to walk or stand easily, your doctor may refer you to programs that can build your strength and improve your functional mobility. Nutrition and hydration can also make a difference to your balance. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Know the Side Effects of Your Medications If your medications make you dizzy or drowsy, be sure to tell your doctor right away. Your physician may be able to find a solution for those side effects. Have Your Vision Checked Regularly Seeing clearly is essential to helping you get around safely. If you are having difficulties with your vision, you need to address it immediately. Make sure your glasses or contact lenses are the right strength for you. Make Your Home a Safe Place to Live Look around your house to see if there are any hazards that could cause you to fall. The most common household fallrelated injuries are caused by clutter, poor lighting and small area rugs. To reduce your risk of falling in the bathroom, use non-slip mats and have grab bars installed. Additional lights and brighter light bulbs can help brighten up a dark room.

Find Comfortable Shoes Comfortable, sturdy shoes that have non-slip soles are key to preventing falls. Many fall-related injuries happen when people wear poor-fitting shoes, flip flops or slippers, or walk around barefoot. These small changes can have a big impact on your balance and help you walk without fear. The Nazareth Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance can help determine the cause of your dizziness and provide strategies to help decrease the symptoms and improve your balance. The Balance Program is located at Nazareth Hospital Outpatient Center for Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Balance at 8113 Roosevelt Blvd. (Holme Avenue and the Boulevard). For more information, call 215.335.3954.

“We’ve lived, laughed and loved in our home for more than 30 years. I never thought our own bathroom would become the source of such worry. As Bill got older, he had trouble lifting his legs over the sides of the tub, and I was afraid he would fall and hurt himself. That’s when I called P.J. Fitzpatrick Bath Solutions. Their tub to shower conversion along with their safety package, that places handrails and even a seat in the shower, took the worry out of our day. We’re not worried anymore about not being able to stay in the home where we raised our family. Thanks PJ!” — PJ Fitzpatrick Client 48

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

HOW TO
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 or-
ganized 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 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 developed by The Remodelers Council of the
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.
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.
Stay in your home longer and enjoy more moments like these. Maintain maximum independence with a Bath Fitter tub-to-shower conversion. Security bars and no-slip floor to maximize safety Fold-up seat and personal sprayer for ease of use Wheelchair-friendly options An investment more cost effective than an assisted living facility

HOW TO
obtain legal advice
elder law attorneys cater to your legal needs
S
ince living decisions are becoming increasingly complex, many people find themselves searching for someone who can cater to their specific legal needs. Making sure that you have the right professional for the job at hand is one of the most important tasks in getting any job done the right way. When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney may take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence. What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the sometimes difficult decisions involved in
one’s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients to other professional and/or non-legal resources that are available to help meet their needs. Do I Need an Elder Law attorney? Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there non-legal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? To pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you must know your needs. If you aren’t familiar with your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else. Know your own financial limitations and the financial benefits of engaging the services of a specific attorney. In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably don’t need an expensive pack-
age. Be a smart consumer. Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there are attorneys who will occasionally take on pro-bono cases or will work on a contingency fee. Local law schools are good places to check for assistance as many students will help low-income or disabled individuals to practice their skills.

HOW TO
understand estate planning and probate
elder law attorneys can help
E
state planning means much more than preparing a Last Will and Testament or tax planning for the disposition of your assets upon your death. Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximize the goals of the estate owner. The goals of estate planning typically include making sure the greatest amount of the estate passes to intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes. Estate planning must also provide for administration and protection of assets during lifetime and for decision-making in the event of a disabling illness. Any complete estate plan should contain: 1. A Last Will and Testament, 2. A durable health care power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate agent) responsible for medical decisionmaking, 3. A living will or other advance directive giving instructions concerning the type of care one wishes to receive (or avoid) in the event of a terminal illness, and 4. A durable financial power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate) responsible for asset and financial management if one is unable to do such things for oneself. Estate planning may also include the
creation of trusts. Estate planning is an opportunity to make wishes known and to determine what person(s) will be responsible for carrying out those directives. You are able to state your preferences concerning the type of care you receive, what types of medical care you do not wish to receive and can authorize someone to act as your agent in carrying out those wishes. Should you fail to do such planning, then there may be confusion as to what your wishes might have been and who you would have preferred to act as your decision-maker. In fact, without such information, your wishes may never be known. If you do not leave a Last Will and Testament, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestate succession in your state. There are laws in each state governing the rights of surviving spouses, heirs and next of kin in the absence of a Last Will and Testament. Probate Probate laws, practice and costs vary from state to state. A qualified Elder Law attorney will be able to advise you as to the probate laws, practices and costs in your state. What You Need To Know In preparing an estate plan, it is essential that all of your assets are consid-
ered. You should do a complete inventory of all that you own before contacting your estate planner. Your estate consists not only of your home, your car and your bank accounts. Your estate also includes the value of life insurance policies, investments that you may own (including those held in joint tenancy with other persons), your IRAs and other retirement accounts, and any other assets over which you can exercise control. It is extremely helpful for you to have a centralized and secured record of all of your financial accounts; insurance policies; credit, debit or loan accounts; safe deposit box; and account IDs and passwords. You will need to make decisions about what to include in your estate plan. First, you should determine who will inherit your property upon your death. You must also be certain that your spouse or heirs are capable of managing financial affairs. If capacity or vulnerability is an issue, you may want to name a trustee to handle financial affairs for him or her. You have to designate an Executor or Personal Representative to administer your estate. An alternate Executor or Personal Representative should also be appointed. Special arrangements may be needed if there are particular family issues, such as a second marriage by either spouse. You will also need to Continued on page 56

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

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

the many benefits of adult family mediation n
By Sig Cohen
Families facing disagreements on issues such as caring for aging parents, encouraging an older adult to stop driving, or equitably distributing trust proceeds are increasingly turning to adult family mediation to settle their differences. Having a neutral third party help a family resolve their disputes is more attractive than the delay, cost and distress of litigation. When family members forge a path forward together, there are no winners or losers. As a result, an elder can look forward to his or her family having less rancor and more mutual respect. Adult family mediation offers families the opportunity to air their concerns in a “safe space.” Sessions are confidential. The process is simple: An adult family mediator confers one-on-one with parties before they meet in a “plenary” session. When they convene, the mediator explains how the discussion will move forward. Then the mediator invites each party (or their attorney) to share their concerns and goals. When a mediator facilitates the discussion, it’s more likely that the parties will listen to the other side and speak without interruption. If an exchange becomes too heated, the mediator will suggest taking a break. Throughout the process, family members are challenged to: (1) identify the issues dividing them, (2) come up with options to settle them, and (3) collaboratively carry out the terms of what they’ve agreed to. Mediators do not give legal advice.
Building
They recommend parties seek counsel from a qualified elder attorney. Nor are they therapists. Again, they suggest family members meet with a professional in that field. Mediation is future focused. While the process cannot repair the past, it provides an avenue to more peaceful, cooperative family relations in the future. Mediation also affords family members conflict resolution tools, so they can settle future disputes without a neutral third party. Once they’ve successfully settled
Better Futures through
their case through mediation, families are more confident in their capacity to resolve future conflicts themselves. Adult family mediation brings out the best in people. When family members engage in mediation, their relationship usually moves from friction to traction and from deadlock to determination to put their issues behind them and create more resilient family bonds.

list any specific gifts you want to make to family or non-family members and/or to charities. Once these decisions are made and your inventory is completed, your attorney will be able to advise you as to the best technique to use in planning your estate. You should consider your preferences concerning health care options and decide who will be your decision-makers, and do the same with regard to your finances in the event of a disability. Finally, you should give thought to the difficult questions of what type of care you would want or not want in the event of terminal illness. If you have special desires concerning disposition of your remains, such as burial in a certain place or possible cremation, these should be brought up during your planning conference as well. These are complicated and personal issues. The advice of a qualified Elder Law attorney is essential to protect your financial health and welfare and to ensure that your health care wishes are known and carried out. The Role of the Elder Law Attorney Elder Law attorneys who specialize in estate planning are trained and experienced with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives or living wills and the intricacies of estate and inheritance taxes.

Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with a complete plan for obtaining care, transferring assets and carrying out all of the client’s wishes. In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. Be certain to assure yourself that the attorney you choose has such experience and training. Attorneys will ask clients for a great deal of information and will request original documents such as deeds, account statements and insurance policies. It is the attorney’s role to assure that all of the elements of the estate plan are properly handled and
reviewing names on titles, beneficiary designations and other similar information is part of thorough planning. All of the information provided to an attorney is, of course, confidential and may not be disclosed to others without your permission.

short term annuities approved by court n
By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law
Recently, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that short term annuities are a viable Medicaid planning tool for nursing home residents attempting to protect a portion of their resources and qualify for Medicaid benefits. Many people believe that in order to qualify for Medicaid in a nursing home, you must deplete all of your resosurces. This is not correct. Medicaid annuities permit you and/or your spouse to protect a significant portion of your resources. Previously, the use of short term annuities in Medicaid planning was under assault by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On appeal, however, the Third Circuit Court ruled that these annuities are legitimate planning tools to help you and/or your family members qualify for Medicaid. As long as the annuity meets federal requirements, it is acceptable. If you require admission to a nursing home, you will be able to protect approximately one-half of your countable resources. For example, you could gift one-half of your resources to a child or other relative and then apply for Medicaid. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Resources would find you ineligible for Medicaid due to the gift. The period of your ineligibility would depend on the size of the gift. Simultaneously with the making of the gift and applying for Medicaid, you would purchase a Medicaid annuity with the
remaining one-half of your resources, and the annuity would pay out only during the ineligibility period. During this period you would pay the nursing home privately by using the proceeds from the annuity and your monthly income. At the end of the ineligibility period, the annuity would be completely exhausted,

you would qualify for Medicaid, and your children would keep the gift. In summary, short-term annuities are a valuable tool to help you protect your resources if you are admitted to a nursing home. If you have questions about annuities, you should contact an elder law attorney.

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

you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, AM Page 1 take a general tip from freelancers and
independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two! Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret having given away too much too soon, or to have important things lost in the shuffle.

sort through items Donating or giving away household items (finding new homes for them), or recycling them (finding new uses), can be a frustrating and confusing matter. What can you actually give away, and who will take it? This is often the part of the process where people become the most easily bogged down. The following, from Moving On, discusses a couple of options when you are sorting through your belongings. Donating and Recycling When people want to donate household items, often the first place they think of is one of the major charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America—and for good reason. These agencies are willing to take many of the things we would like to get rid of and put them to good use by either giving them to the needy or selling them in their thrift shops, with the profits going to support their social services programs. Often these organizations will make it even easier

on donors by coming to the home to pick up donated items. And when you give to charitable organizations, your donation is tax deductible. To be considerate when donating, make sure that all clothes are clean and wearable; all appliances are in working order; and anything with multiple pieces, like children’s games or tool sets, have all the parts intact. Exactly which items charities accept varies from organization to organization and from location to location, so it’s best to contact your local outlet for specifics. Some charities post guidelines on their websites for items they will accept. Most charities accept clothing of all types and shoes for men, women and children, as well as costume jewelry and accessories; appliances in working order and household items; televisions, stereos and computers; books, toys and games; and sporting goods. Most do not accept broken appliances, water beds, furniture in bad repair, magazines or old encyclopedias,

bathroom fixtures such as toilets or sinks, tires, paint, swing sets, water heaters, windows or doors. Household items can also be donated to smaller or locally based charities, such as veterans’ associations, churches and synagogues, children’s charities, and programs for the elderly. Community theaters, women’s shelters, prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes also often accept donations of furniture and household goods. You might also inquire at local schools, preschools, day-care centers, art schools, and after-school programs to see if they could use toys, games, books, desks, art supplies or musical instruments.

the basics of de-cluttering n
By Robin Jenks Vanderlip, BA, MC, CMRS, SRES, LUX, Professional Realtor
S
ometimes life’s most embarrassing moments lead us to take action. An injured raccoon started visiting my bird feeders, which led to him exploring my garage for more food. Noticing he was there, I shut the garage door and locked him in. The animal control officers had been to my house the day prior trying to catch him with no luck. I thought it would be a great opportunity to catch this raccoon and it was, except for the fact that I had a lot of clutter and “JUNK” piled up to one side of my garage, which had to be moved. Is it easier to function in a cluttered space than to take the time to clean it up? When you think about de-cluttering your house, do you get overwhelmed? I do, and to be honest, when I go someplace, especially a home for sale that has stuff all over, I get distracted. One of the most challenging tasks is letting go of things. Think about letting go of stuff like this; “I am choosing to determine what happens to____________________.” From here, it goes to donation, garbage, someone else, etc. It is easier to give things away than to throw things away because we are taking control of the final destination.
Ways to De-Clutter: • Fill a bag once a week (or more often) • Set benchmarks. For exampleo Complete a room/space a day. Spaces can include: kitchen drawers, kitchen cabinets, pantry, refrigerator, freezer, under sink, spice cabinet, books (including cookbooks), laundry room, coat closet, bathroom cabinets, office, magazines, china cabinet, bedrooms, jewelry box, medicine closet, media storage, holiday decorations, tool bench, garage, trunk of the car, etc. • Make some rules for yourself in the form of questions, so you have to be honest with yourself. • “Have I worn/used this within the last two years?” If no, let it go… • “Why am I keeping it?” If you don’t
Live well with us at Frederick Living!
immediately know, let it go… • “Does this item have a place that it goes?” If no, let it go… Think about some of the opportunities you have. Buy some empty toolboxes and place duplicate tools in them to give away to your grandchildren. It can be really fun to build something like a birdhouse or doghouse together. Or, open a cookbook and make some chocolate chip cookies from scratch and send some cookies and the cookbook home. You can even take this to another level by texting or posting a picture with them on social media. When it comes to clothes and shoes, if you purge out what does not fit or you don’t like/wear, you have room for more. As you clean out your jewelry box, think about who would enjoy a pin or beads before you sell the gold and silver. Finally, if you are going to store things, label them and systematically put them away over the next few months OR slowly start placing items in a box designated to “find a new home.” Clutter is the ultimate time bandit. Your time is valuable to you, so why spend it moving stuff around and being held back by things blocking your way? Let clutter go! You will be free from stress, and you won’t have to clean and organize.

housing preferences of boomers Based on a nationwide survey of recent and prospective home buyers conducted in 2015, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) new study, Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation: How They Compare to Other Home Buyers, discusses how various designs influence the home purchase decision. The study also covers the location, features and size of the homes consumers want, and the influence of certain events and people on the decision to move to another home. “This survey is a great resource for building professionals, as it provides an inside look at the things boomers, and other generations, are looking for in today’s homes,” said Rose Quint, NAHB’s Assistant Vice President for Survey Research, and one of the study’s authors. “As the housing market continues to recover, more consumers are in the position to purchase a home, and it’s important for builders to have this knowledge about their customers.” Here are some of the findings on what
home buyers want: • The majority of all buyers (65%), and boomers in particular (63%), would like to buy a single-family detached home. • Most home buyers (64%) prefer a single-story home, but there is great variation by generation: Millennials (35%), gen X’ers (49%), boomers (75%) and seniors (88%). • Fifty-eight percent of home buyers want a full or partial basement, but the preference declines with age: Millennials (77%), gen X’ers (67%), boomers (50%) and seniors (43%). • When asked if they would buy a home without a living room, 37% of buyers say they would, 42% would not and 21% are not sure. The share of buyers willing to part with this formal space falls steadily with age: Millennials (43%), gen X (40%), baby boomers (37%) and seniors (26%). And here are some of the findings on what most buyers do not want: • Few buyers (8%) or boomers (7%) prefer a central city location. About twothirds prefer a home in the suburbs (close-
in or outlying) and just over a quarter prefer a rural area. • Only 14% of buyers overall (and 13% of boomers) are willing to pay more for a home out of pure concern for the environment. Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation is available for purchase ($149.95 retail/$79.95 NAHB member, ISBN 9780-86718-748-9) at BuilderBooks.com or by calling 800-223-2665.

licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed Continued on page 64

After finding a qualified agent, homeowners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home. Step Two: Packing and sorting Items should be sorted into distinct categories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away.

fall prevention strategies to help secure safe homes By Mimi Lewis, Jewish Family and Children’s Service (JFCS) Older Adult Social Worker and Community Engagement Coordinator
n
There is abundant evidence that the health outcomes for older adults following a fall are bleak. As a result, older adults often suffer from anxiety about falling, which, ironically, increases their risk for a serious fall. They tend to restrict their movement out of fear. This, in turn, raises the risk of a serious fall as older adults become more anxious and less active, causing their muscles to atrophy and their mobility and coordination to decrease. Tentative movement, also a consequence of this anxiety, makes for missteps as well. The good news is that there are numerous ways to address this issue. There are a variety of providers available to help with support and strategies, including JFCS. JFCS is on the forefront of offering
holistic support and strategies to help our seniors stay safe and steady on their feet. To prevent falls seniors and their families should: • Conduct a professional home assessment to ensure that the living space is safe and equipped for an older adult, for example,
install shower bars and railings. • Consult with an Occupational Therapist and/or Physical Therapist to assess movement and develop safe practices for climbing and descending stairs, rising from a chair, getting out of bed, etc. • Reduce anxiety through therapy and other techniques. This has an overall physical, mental and emotional benefit. • Stay connected to the community. • Boost self-confidence through activity and productivity. • Utilize assistive devices as needed. With these services, older adults can conquer their anxieties and reduce the risk of serious injury. Even more important, they can remain active and engaged in order to optimize their quality of life.
We Make Life Easier for Seniors... and Those Who Care for Them. Call JFCS and Let Our Experienced Care Managers Help You: • Assess needs and interests for continued quality of life • Create a care plan enabling safe and dignified living at home • Provide access to homecare, transportation, meals, and other support services • Design a long-term care and transition strategy

the keys to healthy living By Dr. Vivek Sinha
W n
e hear about “health” all the time. Television, radio, magazine articles, even friends and family have no shortage of tips and advice on how to get healthy. If one were to follow all that advice, then they would be hopping from one fad diet to another, cutting out carbs, sugar and gluten and running from gym to gym wearing nothing but the highest end sport shoes. So what is the safest, most effective way to improve your health? The answer varies by the person; for example, an 85-year-old man will have different needs than a 25-year-old woman. But there are some general points that are applicable across all patients. First, define what “health” means for you. Do you want to reduce or hopefully end your need for blood pressure medications? Do you want to be able to fit into smaller sized jeans? Do you want to keep up with your grandkids or run that 10K? Or do you simply want to feel better and hopefully live longer? After my patient has defined their goal, I usually spend some time obtaining objective data. Height and weight, blood
pressure, heart rate, cholesterol level, sugar level and a detailed medical history are just a few of the data points that physicians use to risk stratify their patients. Occasionally, if a patient’s numbers are very abnormal, they may need intervention (medications, cardiac clearance, etc.) prior to starting exercise. Second, getting healthier takes a planned approach that involves at least one lifestyle change. I usually advise my patients to prepare for a lifestyle change like they are preparing to go into battle. Formulate a game plan, gather your resources and have a start date. Tell your friends, family and coworkers about your plan, so they can keep you honest and motivated. Ideally, find someone to join you — helping someone else is a fantastic way to help yourself. Thirdly, exercise is essential. People may say that if you simply change the way you eat, you will lose weight. But not only will exercise jumpstart that weight loss, it also will help keep the weight off. I advise my patients to get a calendar, and each Sunday, circle the five days of the week when they will work out. They should also weigh themselves each morning and write that number on the corresponding date. One basic rule of exercise: do an activity that makes you sweat and do it for

at least 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, health cannot be achieved without proper nutrition. We need the appropriate fuel to think clearly and function at peak level. One of the worst things that we can do is to skip breakfast. When people skip breakfast, the body has to get its fuel from muscle and not from fat. Six small meals a day maximize your metabolism. I advise patients to eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal. Ultimately, getting healthier is a journey. This journey takes commitment, but you do not have to take it alone. Talk to your doctor. They will provide plenty of practical, personalized advice on getting healthier. By working with your primary care physician, you can reach your goal safely and effectively. Dr. Vivek Sinha is the chief medical officer at Belleview Medical Partners.

understanding medicare know the options and the coverage
M
edicare provides important benefits for most Americans who are age 65 and older. When enrolling in Medicare, changing plans or determining benefit coverage, consumers need to fully understand the many different types of Medicare plans. The process of selecting the best plan begins with learning more about all the options. Medicare’s Alphabet Soup Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. Medicare is composed of several different parts that cover specific services. Medicare Part A, or Hospital Insur-
ance, covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care and some home health care. Medicare Part B, or Medical Insurance, covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies and
preventive services. Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Medicare Part C, are health plans offered by private companies that contract with Medicare to provide subscribers with all their Part A and Part B benefits. Medicare Advantage Plans include Health Maintenance Organizations, Preferred Provider Organizations, Private Fee-for-Service Plans, Special Needs Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans. Most Medicare services are covered through the plan and aren’t paid for under Original Medicare. Most Medicare Advantage Plans offer prescription drug coverage. Medicare Part D, or prescription drug coverage, adds coverage for medications to Original Medicare, some Medicare Cost Plans, some Medicare Continued on page 76

Private-Fee-for-Service Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans. These plans are offered by insurance companies and other private companies approved by Medicare. Additional Options Beyond the Medicare plans outlined above, there are also additional options available to individuals who meet specific criteria. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid programs vary from state to state, but most health care costs are covered if an individual qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid. Secondary Insurance may also be used to pay medical costs. For instance, an individual or their spouse may still be working and therefore be eligible for employee health insurance. Additionally, some retirees qualify for group health
insurance, or retiree coverage, from a former employer or union or a spouse’s former employer or union. If a beneficiary has Medicare and other health insurance or coverage,
different rules apply to determine when and how much each “payer” will cover. Medicare may be the primary, or first, payer or a secondary payer depending on the specific plans and circumstances.

Getting Coverage: Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage Plan Medicare coverage is generally obtained in one of two ways—through Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) or through a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C). Some people get additional coverage, like Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D) or Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap). Original Medicare includes both Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). Enrollees have their choice of doctors, hospitals and other providers that accept Medicare. Beneficiaries pay a premium for Part B coverage, which, in 2016 was $104.90 each month. They will also generally pay deductibles and coinsurance amounts. Many enrollees opt to purchase a Medigap Policy to cover some of these costs. If an individual is already receiving Social Security benefits or benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board, they will
generally automatically begin receiving Parts A and B the first day of the month they turn 65. If an individual is not already receiving retirement benefits, they should sign up for Medicare three months before reaching age 65. Signing up in a timely fashion will help avoid any late enrollment penalties. Visit the Social Security website for more information about enrollment: www.ssa.gov/ medicare/apply. A Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) also includes both Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage. However, the coverage is provided by private insurance companies approved by Medicare, not by Medicare directly. Advantage Plans function much like the HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) or PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans that are offered by most employer-based health care groups. Advantage Plans must cover all of the services that Original Medicare covers except hospice care. Original Medicare
covers hospice care even if the beneficiary is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan. In all types of Medicare Advantage Plans, enrollees are always covered for emergency and urgently needed care. These plans typically require enrollees to use plan doctors, hospitals and other providers to avoid paying more or all of the costs for care. Enrollees pay the Part B premium, which was $104.90 per month in 2016, and a monthly premium for the Advantage plan. Enrollees may also pay copayments or coinsurance for covered services. Coverage and costs vary by plan. Medicare Advantage Plans usually include prescription drug coverage (Part D) through the plan. Plans may also offer extra coverage, like vision, hearing, dental and/or health and wellness programs. Getting Additional Coverage: Prescription Coverage and Medigap Continued on page 79

Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D) are run by private companies approved by Medicare. Enrollees who would like to receive this additional coverage must select and enroll in a plan. There is a monthly premium for these plans. For those who have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, prescription drug coverage is often already included. Supplemental coverage is available to help pay some of the healthcare costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, including copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. These Medigap Policies are offered by private companies. When beneficiaries have a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health care costs. Then, the Medigap policy pays its share. Individuals interested in purchasing a Medigap policy should buy one during their 6-month Medigap open enrollment period, which gives them the opportu-

This period automatically starts the month that individuals are 65 and enrolled in Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance). After this enrollment period, some beneficiaries may not be able to buy a Medigap policy. If they are able to buy one, it may cost more. Individuals enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, cannot use Medigap Insurance to pay for plan costs like copayments, deductibles and premiums.

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

A Simple Formula
C
By Christy Brudin
huck Ladner has been doing the math for decades. He spent the bulk of his career serving as a Chief Financial Officer. It was not surprising that when it came time to plan his own retirement, he turned to the numbers. After assessing the data, Chuck and his wife, Diane, decided to move to Dunwoody Village, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Newtown Square, Penn. In fact, they were the first residents of Dunwoody Village’s new Penrose Carriage Homes. These twin-style homes offer spacious and affordable living options. The 40 new homes are scheduled to be completed in summer 2016, but reservations are being made now and residents are already moving in. After moving to New Jersey with their families, Chuck and Diane met during their college years. They formed a friendship that later became a relationship. They were married after graduate school and moved frequently while Chuck was serving in the U.S. Army. “We have four children, and they were each born in a different state,” Diane noted. Eventually, the couple and their family settled in the suburbs of Philadelphia, where they still call home. A graduate of Notre Dame, Chuck received his MBA from Columbia and launched a successful career in accounting. After working for several large companies, he spent the bulk of his career serving as the Chief Financial Officer of the UGI Corporation, an energy company as well as a trustee of John Hancock Funds. When their children were older, Diane returned to school and received her Master’s in Library Science. She shared a librarian job with a co-worker for many years before retiring. Throughout his career, Chuck served on several Boards of Directors, including the Dunwoody Village Board. “I joined the Board at Dunwoody because I wanted to learn more about retirement,” he recalled. The Board was not only a great opportunity; it was also an excellent fit. Chuck is still on Dunwoody’s Board of Trustees today. In total, he has served 18 years on the Board, and he was Chairman for 10 of those years. He is extremely proud of the Board’s many accomplishments during his tenure, including doubling the capacity for the care center and expanding rehabilitation offerings to serve individuals living outside the community. The Board also decided to launch the new Penrose project to meet the increasing demand for larger retirement living residences. With such incredible insight into retirement living options and a background in accounting, Chuck carefully pored over the numbers when it came time to plan for his own retirement. “I assessed a lot of actuarial data, and I did
the math. I know that in 10 years, if one of us needs care, the costs could be astounding,” he explained. “A lot of this decision has to do with your tolerance for risk and your understanding of what the future could bring. I always advise people to take a hard look at the math, to consider their children and to plan ahead.” For Chuck and Diane, the decision was obvious. They moved into one of Dunwoody Village’s new Penrose Carriage Homes last year. Their two-story unit features nearly 4,000 sq. ft. and offers a lifestyle that is unparalleled. “I was focused on the math, but the lifestyle is incredibly nice,” Chuck said. Diane added, “This community is so friendly, and the residents are so welcoming. It has been really easy to get to know a lot of people.” Chuck and Diane are enjoying a lifestyle that is financially stable and socially satisfying. Weighing their financial, personal and social needs helped the Ladners create a simple formula that yielded the right answer for their retirement. Now, they are benefiting from doing the math.
Now settled into their new house in Dunwoody Village’s Penrose Carriage Homes, Chuck and Diane Ladner are enjoying a lifestyle that is financially stable and socially satisfying.

Living Green By Christy Brudin
Left, the chefs of the community raise herbs and vegetables in the Harvesters Garden. Center, Betty Fink shows off one of the Bluebird boxes on campus. White Horse Village is part of the statewide Bluebird Trail. Right, resident Bob Poole raises vegetables for the weekly produce sale and the money generated is donated for campus projects.
G
oing green has never been more in. Living green, on the other hand, is not a fashion statement. It is about making genuine and pervasive lifestyle changes to protect and preserve natural resources. Living green comes naturally for the residents of White Horse Village, a 96-acre continuing care retirement community in Newtown Square, Pa. The community’s bucolic setting attracts retirees who love spending time outside – from amateur gardeners to committed conservationists. With so many nature lovers living in one community, it is no surprise that White Horse has been recognized for its innovative environmental efforts. As part of the state-wide bluebird trail, White Horse’s residents maintain 23 bluebird houses on campus. The houses were built in the on-campus woodworking shop and are monitored by a committee of residents. Betty Fink is proud of the community’s efforts to help restore the bluebird population that was nearly wiped out by pesticides and unsustainable building practices. “Last year, we had more birds fledge than any place around here,” Betty reported. “Nearby Tyler Arboretum even teased us that we had stolen all their birds.” For Betty, one of the major factors in deciding to move to White Horse more than five years ago was the appeal of having outdoor space. “We really have lots of open space and flower beds, and of course we have birds and rabbits and all kinds of wildlife. I really love that,” she said. The residents not only enjoy the outdoors, they also like to get involved in the management and upkeep of the

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

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

rom expansive cottages to apartment living, Tel Hai Retirement Community offers a vast array of living accommodations. For Bitsy and Art Schravesande—who joined the community in April—Tel Hai fit their needs and has enhanced their lifestyle. A Life Plan Community like Tel Hai Retirement Community affords residents the opportunity to experience life to the fullest, all under one roof. With the opening of 105 StoneCroft apartments in 2015, residents, family, friends and future residents are already exploring the advantages to life at Tel Hai. Brownstone—Tel Hai’s latest expansion effort—is the final wing of accommodations adjoining StoneCroft. The fourstory structure will include 45 apartment homes; parking under the building for 28 vehicles; and expansive common spaces featuring additional amenities, as well as ample room for hobbies and resident functions. Ranging in size from 954 to 2,182 sq. ft., Brownstone offers nine spacious floor plans, four of which are new to Tel Hai’s dynamic offerings. With absolutely stunning views, the new residences are sure to impress. Pricing and floor plan details are now available. Construction is expected to begin in September 2016, and the community anticipates welcoming new residents in the fall of 2017. Brownstone will encompass more than 103,500 sq. ft. and is connected to StoneCroft Commons, which includes spaces like the Center for Worship & Performing Arts, Aquatics Center and Clark Gallery. The Commons has already become a hub for enriching interactions, engaging programming and social activities. For new residents like Bitsy and Art Schravesande, Tel Hai offers a unique combination of accommodations and amenities that is hard to find. Planners by nature, the couple conducted exhaustive research before finally deciding to follow their instincts and move to Tel Hai. “We visited and explored more than eight communities during our research phase,” Art said. “We joined the future resident list in 2010, and we just always came back to comparing other communities to Tel Hai’s standards.” While they continued to research retirement communities, the Schravesandes began to realize that waiting too long to move could be detrimental. Art recalled, “As Meals on Wheels volunteers, we saw too many of our neighbors and friends remain in their homes too long. We wanted to move when it wasn’t overwhelming, and we had the energy to do it.” Once they decided that it was time to make a move, Art and Bitsy knew just where to turn. It was the place they kept

returning to: Tel Hai. Even before moving, they knew the campus would be a perfect fit. “It was time to join a retirement community where we could share our songs and memories with our neighbors,” Bitsy noted. “It’s a beautiful campus in a rural setting that has a religious basis, great living options, meets our needs, and is also affordable.” Prospective residents can learn more about the Tel Hai lifestyle and meet residents like Art and Bitsy who will share the details about “Life on the Hill” by attending a “Taste of Tel Hai” event. Events are held throughout the year. During the event, Tracy Weaver, Retirement Counselor, will review residential living options like the Brownstone and provide an informative overview on Tel Hai’s history, benefits and services.

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

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

options by perusing the brochures, schedule a visit to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. If you attended college or had to consider employment in a new area, remember the criteria you used in making that decision. This is no different. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.
Independent living you can depend on.
It’s an age when we’re living longer and looking to live life to the fullest. At Ashbridge Manor Senior Living you’ll have everything you need to help you do that... transportation, housekeeping, nutritious meals, engaging activities and entertainment... all right here! And with our indoor pool, fitness classes and exercise room you can stay vital and strong. We also provide wellness services such as visiting physicians, an emergency call system and home care services that will allow you to continue enjoying your independence.

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-

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

a guide to choosing the right contract n
By Kelly Hagler
You want to move to a senior living community, but that’s just the first of many decisions you’ll need to make. No matter which community you move to, you’ll have to sign a contract that stipulates the services you’ll receive and what you’ll pay—now and down the road. This guide can help you navigate the different contracts you may encounter as you embark on your search for a new home. Continuing care retirement communities offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This setting is generally attractive to seniors who like to plan ahead. CCRCs are most useful for seniors who can come in at the independent living level and move through higher levels of care as needed over time. “The CCRC is a promise of future care, inclusive of the various levels,” says Marc Herrera, vice president of skilled nursing administration and risk management at be.group, an operator of Southern California retirement communities. “All other types of senior living are month-to- month arrangements.” Most CCRCs are nonprofit organizations with business models surrounding a mission of senior care and service, says Daniel S. Ogus, executive vice president and chief operating officer at be.group. All levels of care in a CCRC are usually provided by the same man-
agement. CCRC contracts are more complex than other types of senior living agreements because they offer more services. There are three common types of CCRC agreements that typically secure longterm living accommodations, services and health care for residents. 1. Type A (Life Care Agreements)— According to the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited health-related services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements)— As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower entrance fee than Type A, the CARF cautions that, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements)—Like both A and B, Type C
contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says Herrera. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care. Steps before you sign Regardless of the environment you choose, moving to a senior living community is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and even more research. Here are some important steps to take before signing a contract. 1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of

management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. Understand which services are covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services. Understand how they charge for specialized programming and activities. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a CCRC contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program.

associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.” 7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make
sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 8. Explore, visit, ask questions, repeat. “We want [potential residents] to make the right decision,” says Ogus. “We want them to choose us, but we’d rather them not choose us if it’s not the right decision for them. An unhappy resident can spoil it for the rest of the community. It should be a lifestyle decision, not a sentence.”

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance
What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to

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

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.

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).

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

is independent living the right choice for you?
S
eniors choose independent living for a variety of reasons. Some older adults feel isolated in their homes and seek out senior living options for the companionship they offer. Others begin to have difficulty maintaining their aging home and opt to move to avoid the hassles of home repair and maintenance. Still others want to be able to participate in a wide variety of activities without having to drive to various locations. The questions below will help seniors and their families determine if an Independent Living community may be the right choice for them. • Do you feel isolated in your home? • Do you find it difficult to get around your neighborhood? • Do you lack relationships with your neighbors? • Do you have difficulty driving? • Do you wish that someone else would drive you to your errands and appointments? • Do you have a hard time getting out of the house? • Do you frequently go for weeks without seeing friends?
• Do you wish you had more of a social life? • Do you miss participating in favorite activities? • Do you find it difficult to run errands alone? • Do you have a difficult time keeping up with home maintenance? • Do you find it challenging to clean your home? • Do you feel unsafe in your home or your neighborhood? • Do you find it hard to climb the stairs into or inside your home? If you answered “yes” to most of the above questions, you may want to consider Independent Living. However, you will also want to consider your current and future health care needs before making a final decision. For instance, if you have a chronic health condition, you may want to consider an Assisted Living community, or a community that offers both Independent Living and higher levels of care on the same campus. • How is your current health? • How is your spouse’s health?
• Do you currently need help with the activities of daily living, including eating, bathing and toileting? • Do you have a chronic health condition? • Are you able to manage your own medications? • Do you make and keep your own doctor’s appointments? • Can you manage your finances on your own? • If you need additional health care later in life, how will you handle that? • Are there higher levels of care available at the community you are considering (or at a sister community)? Carefully review your answers to these questions with your spouse and/or family. Be open and honest about your current and future needs and desires. For many seniors, Independent Living offers the perfect lifestyle—one with no home maintenance or transportation worries and with plenty of social and recreational opportunities. With a wide array of communities available locally, you are certain to find a community that offers you both the independence you desire and the security you need.

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. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.
Area Agencies on Aging can provide information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs for assisted living/personal care.

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

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

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.

Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.

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 life-changing 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 others 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 to What to Look For in Nursing the nursing home. Care n Be available the entire day of admisBefore choosing a home, contact the sion to help settle the resident and provide Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program support.

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.

The questions below will help you have productive conversations with providers and their professional references. n How long has this provider been serving the community? n Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Patient Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. n How does this provider select and train its employees? Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? n Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? n Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care? Are they involved in making care plan changes? n Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient? n Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints?

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

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

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, My father is terminally ill, and I have been doing research about possible options for his care. I came across information about hospice care, but I am not sure what it is. Does Medicare cover hospice, and if so, what are the requirements? — Erik (Allentown, PA) Dear Erik, Hospice is a type of health care intended to provide compassionate, comprehensive, quality care for individuals with a terminal illness who are facing the end of life. Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and pain management (palliative care), rather than curative treatments for an illness. It usually involves a team approach to care, with doctors, nurses, social workers, and other professionals coordinating care that focuses on physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Original Medicare will cover hospice care if your father meets all of the following criteria: • He has Medicare Part A • The hospice medical director (and his doctor, if he has one) certifies that your father has a terminal illness (his life expectancy is six months or less) • Your father signs a statement electing
to have Medicare pay for palliative care such as pain management, rather than care to try to cure his condition • His terminal condition is documented in his medical record • He receives care from a Medicarecertified hospice agency An individual does not need to be homebound to qualify for the Medicare hospice benefit. The benefit is a comprehensive set of services delivered by a team of providers. A lot of hospice services are provided in the home, but inpatient care is covered under specific circumstances. The hospice benefit is always covered under Original Medicare. If your father has a Medicare Advantage Plan and elects hospice, Original Medicare will automatically pay for his hospice care. His Medicare Advantage Plan will continue to pay for care that is unrelated to his terminal condition. For example, if your father breaks his hip while in hospice, his Medicare Advantage Plan would pay for hip-related care. The Medicare hospice benefit covers many different services, including skilled nursing care, prescription drugs related to pain relief and symptom control, spiritual counseling, and more. Medicare will cover these services if they are listed on a beneficiary’s plan of care. The hospice benefit includes two 90-
day hospice benefit periods followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods. Your father must have a faceto-face meeting with a hospice doctor or nurse practitioner if he reaches his third benefit period. The third benefit period begins on day 180 of hospice. After that, your father must have faceto-face meetings with a hospice doctor or nurse practitioner before the start of each subsequent 60-day benefit period. The meeting must take place no earlier than 30 days before the new benefit period to confirm that your father still qualifies for hospice care. If you think your father is eligible for hospice services, you two should speak with his doctor about this care, and request that his doctor contact a Medicare-certified hospice on his behalf. There may be several Medicarecertified hospice facilities in your area. If the first one that you contact is unable to help, try contacting others. —Marci Marci’s Medicare Answers is a service of the Medicare Rights Center (www. medicarerights.org), the nation’s largest independent source of information and assistance for people with Medicare.

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. 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, according to the CDC. • The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade (CDC). • In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billion—$179 million for fatal falls and $19 billion for nonfatal fall injuries. This equals $28.2 billion in 2010 dollars (CDC). Injuries from a fall can range from minor to severe, but the risk of serious injury is much greater among the senior

adult population. For many seniors, falls are the initial injury in what becomes a long hospitalization and recovery process. For others, falls may result in a loss of independence, or in the most severe cases, a loss of life. Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; 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.

1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or

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

7. A ssuming family is not available to
supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services? If the adult caregiver does not have the time or resources available to answer these important questions, the services of a professional home care agency or adult day care center may be the right solution.

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

he catch phrase says it all. Adult children who are caring for their parents while also raising their own family are known as “the sandwich generation.” These caregivers find themselves pulled in many directions – caring for a parent, raising their children, keeping their marriage healthy and often holding down a job as well. On top of all this, adult caregivers are thrust into the awkward and often unwanted position of feeling like they’re parenting their own parents. “It can be unsettling to find yourself in this role,” says Richard Bitner of Visiting Angels, a national network of franchised non-medical senior home care agencies. He points out that this reversal in the parenting role can give rise to stress for both parents and caregivers. A recent survey by the National Alliance for Caregiving and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) found that an estimated 22.4 million U.S. households – nearly one in four – are providing care to someone age 50 or older or have provided care during the previous 12 months. “Caregivers’ lives have been turned upside down,” says Bitner. “Despite the fact that they love their parents, caring for a parent is a big responsibility that affects the whole family.” Plans for the immediate future go out the window. Schedules that were already jam-packed and complicated need to be reworked. Children may resent the new demands on their parents’ time and attention. With all these added stresses, experts emphasize the importance of caretakers looking after their own physical and emotional health. “You can‘t take care of someone else without taking care of yourself first,” agrees Bitner. This involves getting help from others, whether it be from siblings, a support group or a health care service. The staff at Visiting Angels understands this need. The company provides non-medical caregivers who go into clients homes to offer companionship, do light housekeeping, run errands, prepare meals or do shopping – all services that can

provide a respite for families dealing with the care of a loved one. “You can be confident that your caregiver is qualified and has excellent references,” says Bitner. The company hires only experienced caregivers who pass a rigorous screening process. They also look for intangible traits such as a caring personality. Many of the company’s caregivers are former hospital staffers looking for the opportunity to do one-on-one personal care. “We work with each family to develop an individualized program to manage the daily needs of the client and then match those needs to the best possible caregiver,” explains Bitner. Caregivers are then introduced to the family, who has the final say in the selection process. Once the caregiver has been placed in the home, Visiting Angels continues its personalized contact through telephone check-ins and home visits to make sure the match is a good one.

understanding telemedicine a game changer for Senior Health Care
L
arry, a 72-year-old retirement home resident with high blood pressure, is experiencing a host of unpleasant side effects with his latest medication. Through a brief two-way video call, Larry consults with his regular physician, who writes him a new prescription. Going forward, he and his doctor chat weekly via video teleconference to make sure he is adjusting well to the new drug. This regular, personalized interaction allows Larry to get the monitoring he needs while avoiding the hassle of weekly doctor visits. Although the story above is fictitious, scenarios just like this are happening all across the nation in growing frequency. While health care for retirees once meant repeated trips to the doctor’s office, many are now able to receive highquality medical services without leaving the comfort of home. And it’s all because of telemedicine. What is telemedicine? Telemedicine (or “telehealth”) is described as “the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status.” This high-tech patient care model is quickly gaining traction as a means for lowering costs while improving health care quality — particularly among aging populations.

Reduced hospital readmissions. The University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville created a telehealth program that combines real-time data with remote patient monitoring (RPM) for those discharged with heart failure, pneumonia, COPD, a recent heart attack, or a hip or knee replacement. When nurses are alerted to any problems via the monitoring system, they contact the patient by phone or, if needed, make an in-home visit. Only a year after instituting the program, the facility saw a reduction in its 30-day readmission to about 10 percent, in contrast with the national average of 17.5 percent.

This was achieved by having frail patients wear monitoring devices that alert nurses immediately to a fall via text message, which allows for more rapid intervention. Improved quality of life. One analysis revealed that, compared to conventional home care, home telehealth services improved access to care, patients’ medical conditions, and quality of life.

tronic glitches, bad weather, slow Internet connections, and other factors. And while confidentiality rules apply to telemedicine just as they do in face-to-face interactions, electronically transmitted information is susceptible to hackers. Patients should understand their legal rights as far as privacy and be sure they know how to use the technology properly. Additionally, although the situation is slowly improving, not all insurers reimburse for telemedicine-based services. Those that do, like Medicare, may provide limited coverage. Perhaps the biggest drawback of telehealth is the most obvious: the inability for a provider to perform a physical exam. Not being able to touch or feel the patient may cause some signs of illness to escape notice. Diagnosing certain conditions may simply not be possible with telemedicine, and may ultimately necessitate an inperson visit.

And providers are catching on: As of 2013, 52 percent of hospitals utilized telehealth services, and another 10 percent were actively beginning to implement them.1 In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) extended Medicare coverage to include seven new telehealth services for beneficiaries in certain regions, giving providers even more incentive to embrace this exciting revolution in health care delivery.

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