the choice is yours
I
regularly receive calls from readers who are in conflict with another family member regarding elder care decisions. Sometimes the calls are from siblings who cannot agree on the best course of action for a parent. Other calls come from seniors whose children are encouraging them to make a lifestyle change – a change they are not sure they want – or need. Often, the most heart-wrenching calls come from families who are unprepared for the costs of senior care. From “I’m not ready yet” to “We can’t afford that,” I have heard it all in the last three decades. I tell our readers today what I realized after only a few months in this business: there is always an answer. The decision may be challenging, but thanks in large part to the ever-growing local senior services industry, there are always choices. That is where we come in. From our comprehensive provider listings to our feature articles, Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook strives to provide readers with the information they need to make choices. This issue’s cover story focuses on Harriet Mayor Fulbright and her commitment to international education (see page 26). With her late husband Senator J. William Fulbright, she has helped to launch the educational adventures of countless students. Now
living at The Residences at Thomas Circle, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Washington, D.C., Harriet enjoys being in the heart of a truly international city. Our two feature stories this issue highlight the benefits of early retirement planning. Margaret Quayle is a former military wife and an avid traveler, who found her “Home for Good” at Falcons Landing (see page 39). She selected the community years before she moved and was able to make a seamless transition when the time was right. In “The Best Is Yet to Come,” readers will have the pleasure of meeting Anne and Al Fishman, who started planning early and selected Kensington Park Senior Living from among a range of local options (see page 33). They now enjoy the intimate atmosphere and diverse amenities offered at their new community. None of these families walked this road alone. They all worked closely with a network of trusted providers to create a successful plan for caregiving. Often, when a family is in crisis or doesn’t know where to turn, my first suggestion is that they seek out the help of a Geriatric Care Manager. These seasoned professionals can help assess the situation and provide objective and skilled guidance on the choices that will be best for the elder (see page 53). In this and every issue of SourceBook,
Wishing you it is our goal to provide you with thousands of resources that can help all the best this you and your family make choices that fit your needs and your lifestyle. As I holiday season have learned, there is a senior-serving professional or community that can help you. Now, the choice is yours. Steve Gurney Publisher

Life at Williamsburg Landing…
ely on it
It’s about choosing a “retirement living” option that provides peace of mind for you and your family. Only a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) offers a socially fulfilling, independent lifestyle as well as a continuum of care from independent to assisted living and on-site skilled nursing care. Williamsburg Landing is the only accredited Continuing Care Retirement Community in town. It is an independent, not-for-profit with longstanding financial security.

A trip to Columbia as a young girl inspired Harriet Mayor Fulbright to begin a prominent career in international education.

By Christy Brudin
arriet Mayor Fulbright’s international education began at the tender age of 15. She has visited and lived in countries from Latin America to Asia. The world has been her greatest teacher—and she has always been an eager student. Throughout her career, Harriet has helped foster that same zeal for travel and education in students throughout the U.S. and around the world. With her late husband Senator J. William Fulbright, she has helped to launch the educational adventures of countless students. Today, as the President of the Harriet Fulbright College—which provides opportunities for foreign students to develop the language skills they need to succeed in the U.S. higher education system—she remains deeply committed to carrying on the legacy of Senator Fulbright. Now living at The Residences at Thomas Circle, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Washington, D.C., Harriet enjoys being in the heart of a truly international city. The central location of the community also means that she can easily access public transportation—allowing her to stay connected with her large social network and remain actively involved in the operation of her College. Born in New York City, Harriet is a self-described “nomad.” She spent parts of her childhood in Pennsylvania; Washington, D.C.; and Virginia. She also started traveling at a young age. “I started thinking about the wider world at an early age. My father sent me to Columbia to live with friends when I was 15 years old,” Harriet recalled. “I went to their school, and I learned Spanish by immersion. I also learned a very different way of life, and it was fascinating.” Harriet’s interest was piqued. She went on to study government and policy at Radcliffe College, a former women’s college that is now part of Harvard University. Shortly after graduating, Harriet moved to Washington, D.C. with her first husband and served as the Assistant Director of Career Services for George Washington University. However, she would soon find herself overseas once again, when her husband joined the Foreign Service. The young couple was stationed in the U.S.S.R., South Korea and Germany. In each country, Harriet made a home for their growing family of three girls and taught English. After a lengthy career teaching both internationally and domestically, Harriet was appointed as the Head of the Fulbright Association. The Association represents

alumni of the Fulbright Program, the international educational exchange program established by Senator J. William Fulbright in 1946. In keeping with the principles of the Fulbright Program, the Association was founded to encourage former Fulbrighters to continue advancing the exchange of ideas between the people of different countries. As part of her position, Harriet met with then-retired Senator Fulbright. “He was obviously curious to see who was leading this alumni association for something he had

started,” she recalled. “He asked me to have lunch with him, and we ended up having regular meetings.” The two passionate advocates for education quickly discovered that they had much in common. In Harriet, Senator Fulbright found someone who believed just as strongly as he did in the promotion of peace and international good will through education. While work brought them together, it was an unfortunate accident that took their relationship from professional to personal. “At that time, I rode my bike to work every day,” Harriet recalled. “One day, a truck didn’t see me while turning right, and I was run over. My leg was badly damaged, and I ended up spending a month in the hospital.” Following her accident, the Senator called to offer his assistance. “He said, ‘You can’t feed yourself on those two sticks’—meaning my crutches,” Harriet laughed as she recalled. “He told me to come to his house for dinner every night, and so I did.” Just a few weeks later, Harriet received another call from Senator Fulbright. “He said, ‘I’m sitting here eating breakfast all by myself and I’m lonely, so I want you to marry me,’” she remembered with a smile. The two were married a short time later and enjoyed a full life—complete with a busy travel schedule. In addition to her work with the Association, Harriet served as the Executive Director of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities under President Bill Clinton. “That was such a wonderful opportunity to help make the arts and humanities a more central part of
our educational system,” she said. After Senator Fulbright passed away, Harriet continued to live in her home in Arlington, Va. “It was a large 3-story house, and my youngest daughter convinced me that I didn’t need all that space. And she was right,” Harriet said. “I started looking around for a place to retire, and I quickly decided that if I was going to live in an apartment, I wanted to be in the city.” In addition to an urban location, Harriet also wanted to find a retirement community that provided a range of care options, so she would never have to move again, even if her care needs increased. She also wanted a property that was Metro accessible, so she could give up her car. “Thomas Circle seemed like an ideal place for me, and it really has been ideal. I am really enjoying my life here,” Harriet said. Since moving to Thomas Circle last year, Harriet has benefitted from living in a close-knit community in a great location. “I don’t miss my car at all, and I can get anywhere I need to go on Metro,” she said. “I’ve also made some terrific friendships here. There is so much to do here—from clubs to outings—and you can do as much or as little as you like.” In addition to all the activities at Thomas Circle, Harriet is still doing quite a lot to carry on the impressive legacy of her former husband through her College. A committed student and accomplished teacher, Harriet Mayor Fulbright realized at a young age what she is still teaching others— that education easily crosses borders and that knowledge knows no boundaries.

ou ain’t seen nothin’ yet,” croons Tony Bennett in “The Best Is Yet to Come.” Albert (“Al”) and Anne Fishman couldn’t agree more. Al, a former music executive who promoted many of Mr. Bennett’s hit records, and Anne, a former teacher, spent a lot of time planning the perfect retirement. Now, they look forward to seeing exactly what their future holds. Residents of Kensington Park Senior Living in Kensington, Md., the Fishmans enjoy the variety of activities and amenities available at the community. After long and successful careers, they are happy to relax and let someone else do all the work. Both natives of Michigan, Anne and Al met at the Univer-
sity of Michigan in Ann Arbor. After graduating, they married and settled in Detroit. The couple went on to have two children, Karen and Joan. An English major, Al’s first job was at a Doubleday Bookstore. He was quickly promoted to manager of the record department. “One day, I got a call from the Columbia Records distributor in Detroit. He wanted to know what I was doing with all their records—if they were being broken or stolen,” Al said. “He couldn’t figure it out because my sale figures were double and triple the previous year’s numbers.” After learning that Al was actually selling all the records, the Columbia representative offered him a job. His proficiency for record sales led to a long and successful career. After more Continued on page 36

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

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

Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any
medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

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

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

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

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

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

HOW TO
get help managing money
stop watching those statements and bills pile up
O
lder adults frequently become overwhelmed with the amount of medical statements and other mail they accumulate in a short time. Insurance and medical bills are often confusing — or even contradictory. Daily Money Managers (DMMs) can help manage these concerns by monitoring their client’s accounts and outstanding bills, while also protecting against identity theft. What is Daily Money Management? Daily Money Management is a service that addresses an issue facing many senior citizens: handling paperwork that seems to expand endlessly. Daily Money Managers provide personal financial assistance to seniors, usually in the client’s home, while simultaneously safeguarding the valuable identity they’ve worked a lifetime to establish. What services does a Daily Money Manager offer? They offer an array of services, which
include balancing checkbooks, writing checks to pay bills, and keeping accurate records of all checks written and all deposits made. This kind of record keeping provides peace of mind for the client and, in some cases, for their family. DMM services also provide value in monitoring medical bills, ensuring that Medicare and other health insurance providers have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health is identity protection. Several firms offer identity theft protection, fraud protection and other security-related services for seniors. “Seniors have a lot to lose, and often don’t have the background or tools to recognize or spot fraudulent activity quickly enough,” said David Poulos, Chief Marketing Officer of Senior Guardian Services based in Baltimore. “We can give seniors peace of mind by paying their routine invoices for them, reviewing bank statements, reviewing marketing offers and other incoming mail, and protecting them from being exploited.” Additionally, DMMs can help with in-

come tax preparation and in documenting medical and charitable contributions that often mean the client will pay lower taxes each year. How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend or colleague are a good place to start. If necessary, contact your local Area Agency on Aging for suggestions. The American Association of Daily Money Managers’ website (www. aadmm.com) can also provide valuable information that will help you find a reliable DMM. Once you have found a DMM you are interested in hiring, it is a good idea to ask about their experience and qualifications. It is especially important to know whether your DMM is bonded and insured. You also want to determine how the DMM you plan to hire bills for their work. Hourly fees vary by locale, but in this area, the average range is $40.00 to $80.00 per hour.

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

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

escuers don’t always wear uniforms and use sirens. For Richard Johnson, rescue arrived in the form of geriatric care manager Stephanie Thomopoulos. Stephanie is the founder and president of GeriatriCare Management, Inc., a care management firm serving the entire Washington, D.C. area. During his early 70s, Richard’s life was in crisis. At the time he was living with his ailing father. Richard had faced a lifetime of social, physical and mental challenges, and he was now completely dependent on his dying father. After his father passed away, a family friend stepped in and enlisted the help of Attorney John McLaughlin to manage Richard’s care. When Richard’s mental health problems began to escalate, John was connected with Stephanie and GeriatriCare Management. “She was the only one who seemed to understand Richard and his situation,”

Continued from page 55 Household Estate Services. “Patty came over and talked with Richard and asked him what he wanted to take with him. After that, she came in, tagged everything and took care of the whole move,” said Kent. In addition to arranging for the move, Stephanie also organized a meeting that brought together Richard’s various providers to discuss his care needs. “I’ve never seen anything like it before,” recalled Kent. “She
called these 12 different doctors – therapists, a psychiatrist, a neurologist, everyone – into a single room and had them discuss his case holistically. That was very reassuring.” Recently, Stephanie has helped Kent and John make increasingly difficult medical decisions. After a virus compromised Richard’s ability to communicate and swallow, the group had to decide whether or not to use a feeding tube. Based on Stephanie’s research and recommendation, they opted not to use a feeding tube. Even when some of his doctors were adamant that he needed the feeding tube and would
never recover, Stephanie remained a firm advocate for his quality of life. Richard did recover from the virus. When he was once again able to communicate, he confirmed that he would not have wanted a feeding tube – that they had made the right decision. “Stephanie has given us the information we need to make better decisions, and she has been a great advocate for Richard,” John concluded. “I think all families need somebody like Stephanie if they have a loved one in a nursing home because she really cares about the patients, about them as people.”

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

This national program is a great solution, as the ombudsman will investigate any complaints and determine what appropriate action should be taken.

These programs usually have resources available to help both employees and their families through eldercare challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.

HOW TO
L
choose care insurance
when and how to make the purchase ong-term care insurance helps to cover the expenses accrued from all types of long-term care, including care for long-term physical illnesses, disabilities or cognitive impairment. Unlike traditional medical care, long-term care generally helps an individual maintain their current lifestyle, while helping to ensure stability and comfort. The decision of whether or not you will need long-term care is a very personal one. Still, individuals should begin to consider long-term care before they have difficulty performing the activities of daily living. Who Pays for LTC Insurance? The short answer is, you and your family (at least most of the time). However, you should take several things into account, such as your current assets and a possible eligibility for assistance. If you think you will need long-term care, be aware that the costs of care are extreme. Major Medical insurance will not pay most of these costs because conventional plans only cover skilled care, as opposed to the intermediate or custodial care normally provided in an assisted living, nursing facility or by a home health care worker. Individuals with a physical illness
or a cognitive impairment may require long-term care, which Medicaid will not pay for until they have “spent down” their assets. Therefore, this type of insurance can prevent a family from facing financial ruin due to the costs of care. Additionally, long-term care insurance can provide funds for those wishing to age in place safely.
What Are the Potential Drawbacks? While this type of insurance can help you preserve assets and ensure you receive necessary care, these policies are expensive and may not be right for everyone. You need to consider whether or not you can afford long-term care insurance premiums now and into the future. Depending on the plan, your payment rate can stay locked-in from the time of purchase, or rise significantly. According to some experts, you should skip a plan if your net worth is less than $200,000. Medicaid will pick up the bills after you exhaust your funds. Depending on the state, your spouse may be allowed to keep some assets and his or her own income up to a FINANCIAL STABILITY OF THE COMspecified limit, and also to remain in the PANY. To select a sound company, you family home. should consult independent financial ratings of insurance companies. It is imSome Things to Keep in Mind portant to note a company’s long-term BENEFIT PERIOD TO BE COVERED. commitment to the industry.

This is the length of time that the policy will pay you the daily benefit for covered services. You can generally choose to buy coverage from 2-5 years or for a lifetime. Keep in mind that some conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, may require up to eight years of care. A three-year benefit period will cover 85 percent of claims; a five year benefit period will cover approximately 95 percent of filed claims. DAILY BENEFIT AMOUNT. Insurance policies offer daily benefit amounts ranging from $50 to $250 per day. You should research the cost of different facilities and at-home care in your community to determine how much insurance you should purchase. However, you may incur charges over the listed daily costs for medical supplies and special assistance. BENEFIT TRIGGERS. The two major triggers that determine when benefits are payable are functional disability and cognitive impairment. It is important that these are listed in the policy as “stand-alone triggers,” i.e. you don’t have to exhibit both to start collecting benefits.

Pledge of Ethics for Professional Geriatric Care Managers The National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers lists the following Pledge of Ethics on its website: PROVISION OF SERVICE I will provide ongoing service to you only after I have assessed your needs and you, or a person designated to act for you, understand and agree to a plan of service, the results that may be expected from it, and the cost of service. SELF-DETERMINATION I will base my plan of service on goals you, or a person designated to act for you, have defined, and which enhance the decisions you have made concerning your life. LOYALTY My first duty is loyalty to you. I will always provide services based on your best interest, even if this conflicts with my interests or the interests of others. TERMINATION OF SERVICE I will end service to you only after reasonable notice. I will recommend a plan for you to continue to receive the services as needed. SUBSTITUTE JUDGMENT I will not substitute my judgment for yours unless I am acting in the role of your guardian, appointed by a Court of Law, or with your approval, or the approval of someone designated to act for you. CONFIDENTIALITY I will hold in trust any confidence you give me, disclosing information to others only with your permission, or if I am compelled to do so by a belief that you will be seriously harmed by my silence, or if the laws of this State require me to do so. REFERRALS/DISCLOSURE I will refer you only to services and organizations I believe to be appropriate and of good quality. I will fully explain to you any business relationship I have with any service I propose, and give you information on alternatives, if at all possible, so that you, or a person designated to act for you, can make an informed decision to accept or reject the services I recommend to you.
COOPERATION I will strive to ensure cooperation between all of the individuals involved in providing service and care to you. QUALIFICATIONS I am fully qualified in my profession to provide the services I undertake. I continue to improve my skills and knowledge by participating in professional development programs and maintaining certification and licensing in my profession. DISCRIMINATION I will not promote or sanction any form of discrimination.

along for the ride transportation providers make sure you’ll get there Transportation or personal concierge services can give older adults a lift, while raising their spirits as well. Not only do they provide a ride to and from important errands and engagements, but they also can offer valuable companionship for people who so often feel isolated from the world. Getting from here to there Sometimes, all older adults will require is a ride from Point A to Point B. With the transportation services available throughout the Washington, D.C. Metro area, you can be certain that your parent or loved one
will receive a safe and reliable ride. These services can be less costly than a series of cab rides from place to place, and you’ll know that someone will be personally accountable for the safety and happiness of your special rider. It may be time to consider a transportation provider if your parent or loved one has experienced memory loss, an inability to perform routine tasks, impaired judgment, slowed reaction time or a diminished attention span. Some older adults may even find that they like riding with a companion much better than being
behind the wheel alone. This buddy approach will ensure that all the errands for the day get finished, and appointments are kept with punctuality. Some providers will often leave a full report of the day’s activities, pointing out any important developments or snags along the way for future reference. Wheelchair accessible transportation services are available throughout the area, but check in advance before booking services through a company. All special needs should be accommodated, with no questions asked.

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

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

products to keep you active advancements in medical equipment facilitate safe and healthy lifestyles
M
edical supplies and equipment fall into two major categories. Medical supplies generally refers to products that are used to make patients more comfortable and need to be replenished on a regular basis. Durable medical equipment includes items that are long-lasting and are generally one-time purchases. Medical Supplies Medical supply products help individuals cope with and manage the symptoms of illness or old age. Products include specially adapted socks and stockings, skin care products and other helpful items. Daily living aids are also available to help individuals who need assistance dressing or taking medication. Home health monitors and specialized in-home tests let patients track everything from blood pressure to heart rate.
Durable Medical Equipment Durable medical equipment includes items that help elderly or disabled individuals maintain mobility and/or
receive necessary care in the comfort of their homes. Durable medical equipment products can be broken into two major categories: mobility products and care assistance products. Mobility products include a wide range of highly advanced equipment to help individuals get around. Scooters are available in a range of styles to meet individualized needs. Many individuals find outdoor mobility challenging and are searching for a personal mobility vehicle that can help them continue to participate in activities. Lift chairs are another popular mobility product that provide assistance with moving from a sitting to a standing position. Stair lifts allow individuals to move from one level of their home to another with ease, eliminating the dangerous task of climbing and descending stairs. A wide array of wheelchairs, walkers, and canes are also available to help those with mobility assistance needs. Care assistance products include hospital-style beds, equipment to help with transferring and specially formulated mattresses. All of these products are es-

pecially important for individuals who wish to remain in the home environment. Paying for Supplies & Equipment Medicare helps pay the costs for durable medical equipment. According to Medicare, to be covered “items must be reusable, such as walkers, wheelchairs, or hospital beds.” Durable medical equipment for home health services is paid for under both Medicare Part B and Part A. Medicare coverage varies, and some equipment must be rented. Coverage by private insurance for durable medical equipment will vary greatly depending on the company and the policy. Coverage for medical supplies by both Medicare and private insurance will depend on the products required and doctors’ recommendations. Finding a Provider Individuals should be comfortable with the professionalism and reliability of the company. Request specific information about costs and product delivery time frames. Consumers should also be aware of any warranties.

HOW TO
prevent falls
accidents can be serious for seniors
A
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Common injuries from falls include hip fractures and head traumas. For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life threatening injuries. Even if a fall does not result in an injury, it will likely leave the senior feeling scared and may lead to a gradual limiting of activities. Fear, combined with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, will only increase the risk of a fall in the future. National and local community and non-profit organizations are working with seniors and their families to help decrease the risk of falls and lessen the impact of falls after they occur. These organizations provide information and services that may help improve the quality of life of seniors.
juries they cause are alarming. For instance: • In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries according to the CDC. • The Northern Virginia Fall Prevention Coalition (NVFPC) reports that in 2009, 421 Virginians over the age of 65 died as a result of a fall and more than 16,000 hospitalizations were directly attributed to a fall. • The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade (CDC). • In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billion—$179 million for fatal falls and $19 billion for nonfatal fall injuries. This equals $28.2 billion in 2010 dollars (CDC). Injuries from a fall can range from minor to severe, but the risk of serious injury is much greater among the senior adult population. For many seniors, falls are the initial injury in what becomes a long hospitalization and recovery process. For others, falls may result in a loss of independence, or in the most severe cases, a loss of life.
Understanding the Risks On both a national and a local level, the risk of falls is one of the largest, preventable medical challenges that seniors face. The statistics on falls and the in-
Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg
muscles naturally weaken with age; weight-bearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Continued on page 69

universal design and renovations
U n
By Moira Quinn Leite and Michael Leite, PE
niversal Design refers to designs that are intended to be accessible to older people and people with disabilities, in addition to people without disabilities. It also includes the consideration of aesthetics, in addition to pure functionality as outlined out in codes and standards. Developing a Universal Design in a retrofit or remodel situation can be complicated by the existing structure and space geometry. When developing a universal design for a renovation, after recognizing the space limitations, the first step is to identify the specific accessibility issues that must be addressed to satisfy the needs of the client. These issues will determine the modifications that must be made to the structure, and whether it is even possible to successfully undertake the project in the first place. Probably the most complex universal design project is the renovation of a bathroom. Key changes can include grab bars, an accessible vanity, modifications to the bath or shower, and installation of a new
Aging in Place Beautiful Accessibility sm Relocation and Staging Lighting and the Aging Eye
toilet and washlet. Work typically includes plumbing, electrical, structural and masonry/tile-work. Many bathrooms have small entrances that will not accommodate a walker or wheelchair; for these, widening the doorway or installation of a pocket door may be necessary. Regardless of the options required, care should be taken to select components that compliment the aesthetics of the space and make it pleasant to use; otherwise, the modifications may have to be removed to sell the residence at a later date. An area that is often overlooked in universal design is lighting. While visual impairment can occur at any age, as we get older, vision always deteriorates and visual limitations become more pronounced. Lighting modifications must always be customized to the individual. There is a broad range of light sources available on the market today. This makes it reasonably inexpensive to select the optimum solution for each individual. Lamp colors range from warm incandescent lamps to very cool “daylight” lamps. Illumination levels, as well as the spectral composition of the light, must be matched to the individual’s
30
eyesight. Additionally, shadows and glare must be strictly controlled. The general illumination, including night lights, must facilitate safe movement throughout the spaces. The selection of hardware and fixtures should take the dexterity of the client into consideration. Arthritis and injuries can often limit the ability to grasp or manipulate objects like switches, faucets and appliances. Additionally, their placement must be tailored to the individual’s reach and range of motion. Properly done, universal design blends into the overall design of the space and becomes unobtrusive. It meets the specific accessibility needs of the client, while retaining its underlying functionality for all other users. With over thirty years of experience in Lighting and Interior Design, Moira Quinn Leite is the President and Design Principal of M. Quinn Designs Incorporated. The firm has offices in Edina, Minnesota, and Annandale, Virginia. Michael Leite is a Registered Professional Engineer with DigiFlight Corporation.

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

ndividuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans.
Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in

Group 1 includes Veterans who are more than 50 percent disabled, while Group 8 is made up of individuals who are not rated as disabled and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, Continued on page 73

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

HOW TO
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. The amenity filled communities are often adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several active adult residences are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. This continuum of care allows active adults to make the most of the present while planning for the future. These communities are residences full of options, and most of the costs are included in the living fees. They are ideal for
retirees, but are not limited to those who have stopped working. Many residents continue to put in hours at work, while others fully explore long-lost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with favorite hobbies and group activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. When researching active adult communities, you can start by requesting an information packet from every option you
are considering. Make sure to read them carefully, and keep them all organized in a folder or file cabinet. Once you’ve narrowed down your options by perusing the brochures, schedule visits to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

and on average, plan to do so by the time they’re 68. Half (51%) of those who are retired say they retired earlier than they had expected. Of those who retired early, fourin-ten say they did so for health reasons. The majority (85%) of respondents consider themselves healthy, and almost all (96%) retirees say they like retirement at least somewhat. Seven-in-ten (70%) like it a lot. Almost two-thirds, or 63 percent of respondents, are already collecting Social Security benefits, and on average began doing so at the age of 63, defying the conventional wisdom that people would choose to wait to receive benefits until a later age to receive a higher payout. Among those in the survey, just over 60 percent are confident that the Social Security system

Despite the popular belief that Baby Boomers will continue to work well past the traditional retirement age of 65, those born in 1946 are retiring in droves, according to Transitioning into Retirement: The MetLife Study of Baby Boomers at 65. This study is a follow–up to the 2008 MetLife Mature Market Institute study, Boomer Bookends: Insights into the Oldest and Youngest Boomers (released in 2009), which looked at the same segment of Boomers at age 62. The study reports that 59 percent of the first Boomers to turn 65 are at least partially retired – 45 percent are completely retired and 14 percent are retired, but working part-time. Of those still working, 37 percent say they’ll retire in the next year,

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
140284 Collington GRL DC Ad_Winter13.indd 1
types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care

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

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

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance
T
he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help.
What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or 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 cultural events and organized gatherings that promote socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed. Paying for Independent Living Communities Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents can purchase
their own units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few independent living communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. However, it is important to note that there is almost always a waiting list for subsidized units, so start your planning earlier if you need this assistance. To learn more about what is available, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. What to Look For Research your options and request information from those communities to which you have narrowed your focus. Discussing services and amenities in detail with staff can help ensure you find the home that is right for you. A major question for those who are considering an independent living community is how to meet their future health care needs. It is important to have a specific plan covering various levels of care, especially if you are only interested in making one move during this time. You also may want to question whether to select a fee-for-service arrangement or an all-inclusive fee.

what is senior center plus?

Appropriate meals and snacks are served to participants in a dining area accessible to persons with disabilities. The level of personal support is less intensive than medical adult day care, yet
There are currently 43 Senior Center PLUS sites in Maryland. For more information, contact 1-800-AGE-DIAL.
the eight participant to one staff ratio is greater than the staffing ratio of community senior centers. The daily fee schedule is determined by the Senior Center Plus provider based on the facility’s operating budget. A sliding fee scale is used and a limited number of scholarships are available. Respite fees are paid by family, participants, caregivers, Veterans’ Group Home operators, and assisted living providers. This service is eligible for Medicaid reimbursement via the Maryland Medicaid Waiver.

baby boomers on the move Despite popular belief, a recent analysis of government data by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reveals that the geographic distribution of households headed by someone age 55 or older is fairly even across most of the country, with more than 30 percent of all households in every state meeting this description. The study sheds valuable light on a key statistic for housing demand among active adults, as NAHB’s long-term forecast indicates that the share of 55+ households will grow every year through 2019, when the 55+ category will account for nearly 45 percent of all U.S. households. “As more baby boomers approach retirement and the average age of the U.S. population increases, many businesses– including home builders–are showing increased interest in designing products that appeal to customers 55 and older,” said Paul Emrath, NAHB’s vice president of

Understanding Independent Living in D.C. Independent Living Communities are defined in the IONA Senior Services Resource Guide as “communities that provide housing and services for active and independent seniors. Services typically offered include congregate meals, on-site recreational activities, and security services.”
IONA Senior Services is one of eight “Lead Agency Providers” in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Office on Aging funds comprehensive service-delivery organizations and designates them as “Lead Agencies.” These agencies plan and deliver direct services to the District’s elderly residents and their caregivers. Each ward
has one or more Lead Agencies that provide services to seniors in the ward. Information on Independent Living Communities and other elder service options can be obtained from these agencies. Visit www.dcoa.dc.gov or call (202) 7245622 to connect with the lead agency serving your neighborhood.
Faces of Friendship “I love this place. For me, it is home.”
- Samia Nassar, pictured with her husband, Raja, residents since 1989 When tensions began to rise in Lebanon in the late 1980s, Raja, who was working in DC at the time, began looking for an apartment. Shortly after finding Friendship Terrace, his wife Samia, who was still living in Lebanon, was able to immigrate to the United States. “At that time, I needed friends, and there were so many friends here,” said Samia. The couple has happily resided at Friendship Terrace ever since. In recent years, the two have played a weekly Bridge game, helping them to make even more friends inside and outside the community.

Understanding Independent Living in Maryland ing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies to eligible residents of low and moderate income senior housing who, due to advanced age or chronic health conditions, need daily help with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping and personal services. The Maryland Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations such as local housing authorities, nonprofit organizations or housing management companies to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program for eligible residents of designated buildings. Eligible residents are those who are at least 62 years of age and in need of assistance with one or more activities of daily living. The program provides meals; weekly housekeeping of each participant’s apartment; and limited personal assistance with
In Maryland, senior apartments are generally for people age 62 and over, but some will accept younger disabled people. Spouses under age 62 may be allowed. There are usually no supportive services available. Some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program.” Congregate Meals Congregate meals are offered in more than 250 meal sites including senior centers, religious facilities, housing facilities or other community sites throughout Maryland.

Understanding Independent Living in Virginia Independent Living Communities can be referred to in a variety of ways depending on the location and the services provided at the community. Senior apartments, senior living communities and retirement homes are among the frequently used names for this housing option. The Virginia Department for the Aging (VDA) sometimes refers to these communities as “congregate housing fa-
cilities.” They define congregate housing facilities as generally providing private living quarters, meals in a central dining room, shared living spaces, and access to social and recreational facilities. The VDA states, “For people who do not require nursing home care, congregate housing is a very popular and economic alternative to institutional care. It is most suitable for the more frail mem-
bers of the elderly population - those who find it difficult to manage home maintenance, shopping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.” Rent subsidies under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 8 Rental Assistance Program may be available to assist with the cost of rent in congregate housing facilities.
www.retirement-living.com offers you the opportunity to search for independent living and other senior living communities geographically.

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

The Facts on Congregate Housing Supportive Services for low-to-moderate incomes n Congregate Housing provides supportive services to residents in selected independent living communities to help them remain independent. n Congregate Housing services are offered in senior citizen apartment buildings that serve low-to-moderate income residents and may be operated by local housing authorities, non-profit organizations or housing management companies. n Eligible persons receive daily meals, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and assistance with other activities of daily living.
n In Maryland, the State Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program. n Participants must be 62, mentally or physically impaired and of limited income. Spouses of eligible participants must be 55 years of age or older and meet the same requirements. n Individual program participants contribute to the cost of Congregate Housing based on a sliding scale. To qualify for available state subsidies, an individual’s income may not exceed 60 percent of the state median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple.

assisted living service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for care that describes needs, likes and preferences and the specific manner in which this care will be delivered. Prepared thoroughly and thoughtfully, the service plan can help a resident achieve their highest level of function and quality of life. The service plan uses an interdisciplinary approach and includes the resident, the family if the resident wishes, the facility nurse and resident service coordinator, and may also include the
activity and dining directors. Many states require that assisted living facilities prepare service plans for each resident. Even if the state does not require it, a well run facility will use them. CCAL recommends that service plans be reevaluated every six months or anytime there is a significant change in a resident’s health status, including a hospitalization.

caregivers and stress
B
eing a caregiver for someone with a serious illness or chronic condition isn’t easy. There are a multitude of demands on your time, energy and resources. Between doctors’ appointments, dispensing medication, helping the ill person complete daily tasks, managing the ill person’s household, providing meals and more, it’s all too easy to feel overburdened, overstressed and overwhelmed.
That’s why Walter St. John, Ed.D., says it’s so important for caregivers to develop healthy and habitual coping mechanisms. “Even when the ill person is someone who you love deeply, such as a spouse or parent, being a caregiver puts you under a tremendous amount of mental, emotional and often physical stress,” points out St. John, author of Solace: How Caregivers and Others Can Relate, Listen, and Respond Effectively to a Chronically Ill Person. Here, St. John shares ten healthy
ways for caregivers to effectively cope with stress: Have realistic expectations for yourself When many people take on caregiving roles, they have unrealistic expectations regarding how much they’ll be able to do, what their relationship with the ill person will be like, what type of attitude they’ll have and so much more. And when reality doesn’t match these ideals, negativity,

When you allow your entire life to revolve around your ill loved one, your mental health, physical health, and relationships can suffer. “Do your best to balance your previous life activities and routines with the newer demands of caregiving,” recommends St. John.
Insist on some private time each day Depending on the extent of your ill loved one’s needs, time to yourself may suddenly become a luxury. Many caregivers find that there are more than enough tasks to keep them busy throughout every waking moment of the day. But for the sake of your own mental, emotional and physical health, it’s crucial that you set aside time to take care of your own needs and desires.

Here are some of St. John’s suggestions: • Eat balanced, nutritious, stress-free meals at about the same time each day. • Get adequate sleep on a regular basis. • Take several brief rest periods daily. • See your doctor promptly when you need to. • Schedule periodic medical examinations. • Beware of too much self-medication (e.g., Keep mentally and physically fit taking tranquilizers).

However, in all but the most extreme cases, he or she will still be able to complete some tasks on his or her own. “You’ll be helping both the ill person and yourself,” says St. John. “There’s no need to tax yourself with unnecessary effort.

HOW TO
provide hope & happiness
a caregiver’s perspective For caregivers, the human capacity for hope is a tremendous blessing. It may be the hope that your loved one will make new friends when they move into a senior living community or that they will respond well to a new treatment for a troubling illness. Hope is said to “spring eternal,” but its source is a recognition of our limitations. It is, in effect, an admission that there are things that impact our loved one’s wellbeing that even the most conscientious caretaker cannot have control over. But don’t let the magnitude of the challenges your loved one faces cause you to undervalue your own ability to make a difference. What you can do for your loved one is so much more important than what you can’t. Although you can’t reverse the march
of time, you can bring a smile to your loved one’s face or provide a moment of satisfaction and peace. Here are some steps you can take that will always improve the quality of your loved one’s life: Give the gift of companionship.
A simple conversation can be wonderfully rejuvenating. The topic doesn’t have to be particularly meaningful or significant. What counts is that you take the occasion to convey your true regard and your appreciation for your loved one’s experience and point of view. Serve as their link to the greater world. A human being’s sense of cu-
riosity is impressively resilient. When you scan the paper in the morning or listen to the news, mentally tag the items you think will give your loved one pleasure. When
you bring these topics up, you’re implicitly telling them that their interests are important. You’ll also be keeping them involved and giving them a few moments relief from their own concerns. Be a hands-on caregiver. As people grow older, they become physically isolated from other people. The opportunity for a caring human touch becomes rarer and rarer. As a caregiver, you have a great opportunity to restore this loss. There are few gestures more life-affirming than holding your loved one’s hand or giving them a warm, heartfelt hug or shoulder rub. Your capacity for hope and your capacity to act go hand in hand. A good attitude gives you the power to envision a better future, while the actions you take today can enrich the present moment.
Active Living Today. Peace of Mind for tomorrow. When you live at an Erickson Living community, you’ll enjoy an independent retirement lifestyle, with added assurance that if your health needs ever change, additional levels of care and an on-site medical center are just steps from your door. Trade the “what-ifs” of life for a secure future at Riderwood, Greenspring or Ashby Ponds. Call 1-800-614-5501 today for your free brochure.

Assisted Living R e a l-L i f e Story
A
native Washingtonian, Pam Davis has never strayed far from home. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. Pam lived in a house on Blagden Avenue in Washington, D.C., with her parents until her father passed away. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis years ago, Pam remained in her family home where she could get the support she needed to manage her disease. After graduating from Howard School of Law in 1982, Pam took a position with the D.C. Department of Employment Services in the Office of the General Counsel. As a paralegal specialist, she focused on worker’s compensation cases. Pam enjoyed her work as a paralegal and remained at the office for eight years. After her father passed away, she moved with her mother to nearby Knollwood Retirement Community. With her mother’s help, she was able to maintain an independent lifestyle. “When my mother passed away, I knew
Pam Davis found the care and support she needed to manage her multiple sclerosis.
I could not live alone, so I made the decision to move to Atrium Assisted Living,” Pam said. “I get a lot of TLC and assistance here. The staff watches my diet and makes sure I get the medical care I need.” Atrium Assisted Living group homes are located in upscale neighborhoods in Potomac and Silver Spring, Md. Pam lives in a charming home in Silver Spring, featuring a 2-story living room complete with skylights providing beautiful natural light. Outside, residents can enjoy views of a nearby farm while relaxing on the deck or in the gazebo.
Residents also benefit from the small, home-like environment of Atrium. With only eight residents per property, staff members are able to form strong relationships with every resident. They are also able to offer a wide array of amenities and activities catered to meet the residents’ specific needs and interests. Since moving to Atrium Assisted Living, Pam is able to relax and enjoy life, knowing that all of her care needs will be met. “I really enjoy watching movies and TV series on PBS. I also love listening to Jazz,” she said. However, lately her focus has been on mastering new technology. “Right now, my hobby is learning how to operate my iPhone. I just got a book to help me with that,” she laughed as she said. Having a safe, comfortable place to call home has given Pam the security that she needed. She found her ideal home just a few miles from where she grew up—right in the heart of the D.C. region.

Understanding Assisted Living in the District of Columbia and Maryland District of Columbia: There are currently 16 licensed Assisted Living Residences in the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia Department of Health Regulation and Licensing defines an Assisted Living Residence, or ALR, as any entity, whether public or private, for profit or not for profit that combines housing, health, and personalized assistance, in accordance to individually-developed service plans, for the support of individuals who are not related to the owner or operator of the entity. An Assisted Living Residence does not include a group home for mentally retarded persons as defined in section 2(5) of the Health-Care and Community Residence Facility, Hospice and Home Care Licensure Act of 1983, or a mental health community residence facility as that term is used in Chapter 38 of Title 22 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations. Source: http://hrla.doh.dc.gov/hrla/ Maryland: In Maryland, an assisted living provider is defined as: A residential or facility-based provider that provides housing and supportive services, supervision, personalized assistance,
health-related services, or a combination of these services to meet the needs of residents who are unable to perform, or who need assistance in performing, the activities of daily living or instrumental activities of daily living, in a way that promotes optimum dignity and independence for the residents. (Code of Maryland Regulations 10.07.14.02B(10). There are a wide variety of assisted living providers in Maryland. They range from large, corporate-managed facilities where hundreds of people live in their own apartments to small, private homes in which the owners provide services to two residents who may share a bedroom. What all of these providers have in common, however, is they all offer their residents some level of assistance with their daily activities, such as dressing, bathing and eating.
Where Joy and Dignity Bloom
Levels of Care Assisted living facilities in Maryland are licensed to provide up to three levels of care. The levels correspond with how much assistance residents need. Licensure at level one means the provider is authorized to take care of residents with low care needs. A level two license means the provider can

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HOW TO
care for a loved one
the well spouse association offers support Marriage has enough challenges when both partners are basically healthy. But if one partner becomes ill or disabled with a chronic condition, the dynamics of the marriage completely change. Instead of husband and wife, the relationship becomes “ill spouse” and “well spouse,” with the well spouse taking on not only a caregiving role, but also taking on more and more of the responsibilities of daily life. In extreme (albeit not rare) cases, when the ill spouse is completely disabled mentally and physically, the well spouse becomes responsible for everything in their lives, from managing the illness with all its inherent medical care complexities to managing finances, shopping, home repairs, and parenting if there are children at home. Add to these physical stresses the well spouses’ excruciating grief at watching

their life partner become hopelessly ill and disabled. To say the least, the marriage relationship becomes drastically altered and challenged. In marriages afflicted by certain chronic, degenerative illnesses, well spouses may suffer the painful losses of verbal communication and physical intimacy with their partners. Loss of income is also a major issue if the ill spouse and/or the well spouse cannot continue to work. The relationship of well spouses to the outside world also changes – social isolation may result from no longer working outside the home, and it is common for extended family and friends to drift away rather than lend much-needed support. As a result, the physical, emotional and mental burdens can become unbearable for well spouses, rendering them exhausted, depressed, angry, frustrated, hopeless, and
feeling trapped and abandoned. The good news is that there is help for caregiving spouses at the Well Spouse Association (WSA), a national/international peer-to-peer, non-profit support organization. Whether on the online Forum or in a face-to-face support group, WSA offers a safe haven for spousal caregivers to talk about their situations openly; to express frustration, anger and grief; and to receive compassionate understanding from others who walk the same difficult journey. It is a tremendous relief to be able to talk to people who listen to you and truly “get it.” The WSA website (www.wellspouse. org) offers articles and blogs by members, an online discussion forum, and links to many caregiving resources. For more information, the WSA office can be reached at 800-838-0879.

e spent the holidays at my mom’s house, and I’m getting concerned about her safety while living alone. She refuses to move out and is in fact quite capable, but I worry about the little things – a fall in the bathtub, safety when cooking, trying to maneuver in the dark in the middle of the night. What can I do make sure her home is safe? —Julie Dear Julie: It’s so wonderful that your mom remains independent, but you’re right to think that a few extra steps need to be taken to ensure her safety when living alone. I’ve just partnered with Philips Lifeline to create an easy guide for this at www.LivingSafer.tv - you can download it and implement a few simple, common sense changes in minutes. Just make
sure to do it together with your mom – involving your senior is the most important part of the process. After all, this is all about helping them maintain their independence. Here are a few tips to get you started: • The bathroom is where 80 percent of home accidents occur. Avoid falls by adding non-slip strips to the tub/ shower floor and non-skid mats to the bathroom floor, along with safety rails in the tub/shower and next to the toilet. • In the kitchen, even the most savvy cook has had a loose sleeve catch on an open flame. Make sure your mom wears tight fitting sleeves when cooking, and remove towels and curtains that may be hanging nearby. • Elsewhere in the home, one of my

ended up with micro fractures of his leg just below his knee. He feels that as long as he can walk, he can drive. What he doesn’t want to admit is that he walks with assistance, either a cane or a walker, and that his balance is not that good. —Linda Dear Linda: Watching our parents drive when we know they are not safe on the road is a very difficult position to be in. My most difficult conversation with my father was when we had “That Conversation.” My book Elder Care Made Easier touches on the subject. First and foremost, make sure that your father is physically, mentally and emotionally fit: hearing, eyes, balance, judgment, reactions and responses. Are any of his medications contra indicated (not mixing well with other medications)? Does he have one for the road thinking that just one drink (of alcohol) won’t do any harm? With his cooperation, have him checked out by his primary doctor and any other doctors that have an influence on him, or may be giving him medications that may contribute to his driving erratically or impair his judgment. I had my father go to a driving class, to reduce his insurance as well as reinforce the rules
of the road. If it comes to truly having to take away the keys, after every thing possible has been done, be aware and sensitive to how that will impact on his independence, manhood and social life. Taking away the keys is a profound step, but if you keep in mind all of his needs and address them, the transition can be harmonious.
M
y 85-year-old mom will not discuss her future care needs. She still drives and rarely asks for help. I will be her only future caregiver. —Bev Dear Bev: You are fortunate to have a parent who is still independent at the age of 85. I truly understand your concern and at the same time, I understand your mother’s need to demonstrate her obvious abilities to run her own life. The best time to have the conversation regarding her future is now, while she is capable both physically and mentally of giving you details regarding what she would want in the case of an unforeseen event or accident. You always want to carry out your mother’s wishes, but to do that you have to first know what they are, and you need to get them in writing. The conversation needs to
start with how concerned you are about her. Let her know how your constant worrying about her is affecting your work, family relationships and health. Next, determine if she has all the necessary legal and financial papers in order. It is important that these papers are up to date. This might be a difficult conversation for both of you, but the time to have it is now.
M
y Mother lives alone, and she has fallen quite a few times and is now in the hospital. She was told that she may have suffered a mild stroke. She will not get a walker or lifeline that was recommended to her by the Geriatric Nurse. She expects my husband and I to look after her, but my health is not great; I have a pacemaker and suffered a stroke and an anoxic brain injury at the hands of a hospital last June. She says at the age of 80, she does not want to leave her home because of all her memories and belongings that she has collected for years. I have tried to get her some help at her home but she is Irish, and controlling, and feels that it is our responsibility. What are we supposed to do? —Lorelei

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

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option Special care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they have had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel
that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment. Before choosing a special care unit, you should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit.
Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety. Researching special care residences can ensure your loved one will receive the proper support he/ she needs.
Much like the weather, changes in the lives of those with dementia can be unpredictable. Great Falls offers peace of mind by providing affordable, quality care for seniors in the early to moderate stages of memory loss. Residents enjoy Life Enrichment programming seven days a week, comfortable, cozy lounge areas, and plenty of walking areas and outside gardens. These amenities, as well as 24-hour-a-day licensed nursing care, are provided in our secure and inviting community.

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

HOW TO

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

understanding palliative care Palliative care (pronounced PAHLEE-UH-TIVE) helps a person remain comfortable by addressing issues causing physical pain, emotional pain or suffering. Hospice programs have provided palliative care for the last thirty years. Currently, these programs serve more than 1.2 million patients and their families each year. Now, this very same approach to care is being used by other healthcare providers, including teams in hospitals, nursing CC_SourceBook_HalfPgHorz.pdf

facilities and home health agencies. To palliate means to make comfortable by treating a person’s symptoms from an illness. The goals of palliative care are to improve the quality of a seriously ill person’s life, and to support that person and their family during and after treatment. Hospice focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting patients with a life expectancy of months, not years. However, palliative care may be given at any
time during a person’s illness, from diagnosis on. Most hospices have a set of defined services, team members, and rules and regulations. Some hospices provide palliative care as a separate program or service. Information adapted from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Web site.

hospice for veterans
©2013 The Washington Home & Community Hospices
One in four dying Americans is a Veteran. These men and women often carry experiences from their military service that present unique challenges at the end of life. Across America, hospice professionals are enhancing their skills to meet these needs through “We Honor Veterans” (WHV), a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), originally developed in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs. “We Honor Veterans” is expanding to reach more Veterans through a new collabo-
ration between Dignity Memorial (a network of funeral homes) and NHPCO. The resources and tools have been enhanced to support the education and training available to funeral home professionals across the country. In collaboration with NHPCO, Dignity Memorial will develop four levels of distinction based on the facilities’ involvement with Veteran education and interaction with Veterans and their family members. These levels will ensure that the very best care is being provided to those who have served our country. “In developing We Honor Veterans, we
have learned so much about what makes the end of life so unique for each veteran. Reaching out to those outside of the hospice community means that we can share all that we have learned about how to meet those needs in a supportive, meaningful and respectful way. We’re so pleased that Dignity Memorial has joined us in that pursuit,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of NHPCO. To learn more about the We Honor Veterans program, please visit: www.WeHonorVeterans.org.
WHAT MATTERS MOST TO

When we asked people what they want most at the end of life, we heard that a lot. Wanting the people they love around them. Wanting to be comfortable, without pain. Wanting to feel at peace.

alzheimer’s: the facts and figures According to the Alzheimer’s Association’s 2013 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia in the United States. The new report shows that while deaths from other major diseases continue to experience significant declines, Alzheimer’s deaths continue to rise – increasing 68 percent from 2000-2010. Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and is the only leading cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. Based on 2010 data, Alzheimer’s was reported as the
underlying cause of death for 83,494 individuals – individuals who died from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures reveals that in 2013 an estimated 450,000 people in the United States will die with Alzheimer’s. The true number of deaths caused by Alzheimer’s is likely to be somewhere between the officially reported number of those dying from and those dying with Alzheimer’s. More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Without the development of medical breakthroughs that prevent, slow or stop the disease, by 2050, the number
of people with Alzheimer’s disease could reach 13.8 million. Alzheimer’s and dementia place an enormous burden on individuals and families. In 2012, there were more than 15 million caregivers who provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion. The Alzheimer’s Association offers a variety of educational and support resources, including its 24/7, toll-free Helpline (1.800.272.3900). The full text of the report can be viewed at www.alz. org/alzheimers_disease_facts_and_figures.asp.

understanding home infusion therapy
W
hen Mr. Phillips was unexpectedly admitted to an area hospital and diagnosed with a serious infection, he was immediately started on antibiotics that were administered directly into the blood stream through a catheter in his arm. As he started feeling better, the hospital case manager spoke to him about finishing his therapy at home and choosing a pharmacy to provide the “infusion” services. The thought of going home with a catheter in
his arm was overwhelming and Mr. Phillips wasn’t sure how to choose an infusion company he could trust. Mr. Phillips’ story happens each day in area hospitals. Patients find themselves needing intravenous antibiotics or other infusions that can be safely administered at home and minimize disruptions of the patient’s lifestyle and work activities. While many individuals prefer to receive treatment at home, going home on infusion medications can cause anxiety due to a lack of experience. Fortu-
nately, there are devices available for administration of home intravenous medications that are safe and very easy to use. Infusion therapy involves the administration of medication directly into a vein. It is prescribed when a patient’s condition is severe enough that it cannot be treated effectively with oral medications. Infusion of these medications can be short or long term depending on the diagnosis and severity of the infection. There are also other reasons that you Continued on page 174

might need a home infusion company to provide medication. The most common types of therapy that need a home infusion company are anti- infectives, Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), Enteral Nutrition, Chemotherapy, Pain Management and Catheter care. The most frequently used infusion therapy is IV antibiotics; prescribed primarily for such diagnoses as cellulitis, sepsis, osteomyelitis, urinary tract infections, pneumonia and sinusitis. Home infusion therapy is appropriate for patients or caregivers that can learn to be independent with the administration of the medication. The patient or caregiver will be taught to safely administer the medication at home and have weekly visits by the infusion nurse. Some people return to work with their physician’s approval, and resume all of their activities. Fortunately Mr. Phillips’ case manager has since arranged for a clinical liaison from
Infuscience to speak to him about his therapy before leaving the hospital. The infusion company will coordinate with the hospital and physician to safely provide his medications at home. They will also briefly show the patient how to administer the medication, answering any questions. After verifying his insurance benefits, discussing coverage, and coordinating the delivery of medication to the home, an experienced infusion nurse will meet him at home and teach him medication administration and catheter care. The nurse will stay with Mr. Phillips until he is comfortable and independent with his infusions. When choosing a home infusion company, patients can ask an infectious disease physician or specialist for recommendations. They should inquire about a company’s reputation for customer service, clinical excellence and professionalism, while asking if they can provide a clinical liaison to visit and answer all questions. It is also important the company provide the following services: • Verification of insurance coverage and
communication of out-of-pocket expenses. • Filing of all insurance claims for infusion services. • Same day delivery of medications and supplies via private courier. • Pharmacist and nurse availability 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. • Coordination of nursing and all home health needs, with provision of further instruction and care during treatment. • Regular communication with the physician ensuring appropriate care and consultation with regards to lab monitoring and clinical outcomes. • Meeting quality standards and accreditation requirements of a nationally-recognized organization. • Compounding medications in a state of the art, USP 797 compliant pharmacy. • The easiest method of delivery available for the infusion without additional charges.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

signs it is time to call 9-1-1 biological warnings many ignore Each year, about 600,000 Americans—one in four—in the United States die from heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Of the 715,000 Americans who have a heart attack each year, about 525,000 are first-timers, says the CDC, and those individuals may not know what’s happening. Sadly, many people do not get to the hospital on time, says paramedic Dale Hemstalk. “If someone is having a heart attack, for example, they should get to the hospital without delay upon the initial onset of symptoms,” says Hemstalk, who is also a software developer with Forté Holdings, Inc., a provider of health-care software that works closely with paramedics, emergency medical technicians and firefighters to speed delivery of medical
services. “We live in an age in which we should be taking greater advantage of our technology for health purposes - but you have to call for help first,” Hemstalk says. Here, he shares warning signs that it’s time dial 9-1-1. Symptoms for a heart attack Men and women frequently report different symptoms. Men tend to have the “classic” signs, such as pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest that goes away and comes back; pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck or arms; chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath. For women, symptoms tend to be back or jaw pain; difficulty breathing; nausea
or dizziness; unexplainable anxiety or fatigue; mild flu-like symptoms; palpitations, cold sweats or dizziness. Triggers tend to be different between the sexes, too. In women, it’s often stress; in men, it’s physical exertion. Symptoms for a stroke There are clear, telltale characteristics of a stroke, including sagging on one side of the face, an arm that’s drifting down and garbled speech. But there are also more subtle signs from the onset, such as sudden numbness of one side of the body, including an arm, leg and part of the face; sudden confusion, trouble speaking and understanding; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden loss of balance; and sudden headache for no apparent reason. Risk factors include diabetes,

Risk factors include various heart problems, serious viral infections, drug or alcohol abuse, severe lung disease, and chemotherapy. “At no point should anyone be discouraged from calling 911; the bottom line is, if you feel it’s an emergency and you need to call 911, call 911,” Hemstalk says. “There are many reasons to seek assistance from emergency responders, and they are not limited to those that I’ve mentioned.” Individuals should never ignore the biological warnings of heart attack, stroke or heart failure.

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

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

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

HOW TO
maximize social security benefits
Too many people end up getting less than what’s due to them from Social Security when they retire because they don’t know the rules and the real financial impacts, says independent retirement advisor and CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors Gary Marriage, Jr. “There’s a lot of talk about the future of Social Security, but we still have this benefit, and if you’re 50 or older, you should be planning to make the best use of it,” Marriage says. Waiting May Be the Best Option Many people are understandably eager to retire as early as possible; others fear Social Security retirement benefits will suddenly vanish, so they want to get

what they can as quickly as possible – at age 62. But if you’re counting on those benefits as part of your income, you should wait until you’re eligible for the full amount. That’s age 66 if you were born between 1943-54, and age 67 if you were born in 1960 and later. The average retirement benefit in June of this year was 1,222.43, according to the Social Security Administration. People born in the 1943-54 group who are eligible for that amount at age 66 will get just $916.82 a month if they retire at 62. If they live to age 90, that’s a total of $308,052.36. Waiting until age 70 can make retirees eligible for a bump in benefits – up to 8 percent a year – but there are no increases if you delay longer.

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

sustaining hope in the face of cancer n
By Deborah J. Cornwall
Hope is a curious thing. It’s about looking forward to something positive and refusing to give up. It’s about persisting in the face of adversity, even when the odds and the facts seem to be working against you. It’s about creating positive energy that can nourish both body and soul. Interviews with 86 personal caregivers from 19 states who cared for 107 patients ranging in age from 2 to 92 with over 40 different cancers, as well as interactions with dozens of local families affected by cancer revealed that sustaining hope in the face of cancer is both critical and problematic. All of these caregivers agreed that you aren’t your cancer, and that looking beyond the cancer to envision a “new normal” was key to their hope. Their six guiding lights were to:
1. Set realistic goals. Is the feasible objective to become cancer-free, prolong life despite cancer, or help relieve patient pain and anxiety as death approaches? The more realistic the goals, the more likely they are to inspire hope, even if the patient is terminal. 2. Live life while you have it, and create joy every day. No matter how sick, the person you’re caring for will always appreciate a surprise. Maybe it’s a bouquet of the first daffodils of spring, the opportunity to snuggle with a favorite pet, or even a single chocolate-covered strawberry. Creating pleasure for the person with cancer creates positive and hopeful memories for both of you.
3. Preserve perspective. Rob’s wife admits she was having a meltdown about his chordoma diagnosis when she “read about a guy who was killed when his all-terrain vehicle flipped over. I looked at Rob and I realized he’s here right now, and he has a chance, and he feels good, so I can’t dwell on poor me when people can lose a loved one in a flash.” For Carl’s wife, it was about focusing less on what they had lost (independence, control, and their normal life) when Carl lost a leg to bone cancer, but more on what they had left. “He couldn’t control losing his leg, but he could control what he does with the rest of him. We just applied our own optimism; instinctively we wanted to get on with it and not get stuck.” For both, regaining perspective took deliberate choice. Continued on page 192

4. Cultivate humor. Many caregivers found that humor was an important stress reliever, even toward the end of a patient’s life. When he knew he was dying, David told his sister he’d given up buying green bananas. It was black humor, but it lightened the mood. Less morbid humor can be generated by playing games to create captions for cartoons, or watching a funny movie together. 5. Manage information to your advantage. • Know what you’re dealing with.

Forestall later regrets. Almost every caregiver described trying to do everything possible to ensure they’d have no regrets, no matter how the course of treatment ended. That meant not only going through the normal routines of treatment, but also pressing for management of side effects like pain and nausea to increase patient comfort and expressing love for the patient every day. Hope isn’t restricted to survival situations. Mike and his wife lost his battle with pancreatic cancer over 13 years ago. Her dedication to his care and her passion for seeking out clinical trials and breakthroughs in treatment gave him hope and options that kept him alive for 27 months in the face of a diagnosis that offered a sixweek death sentence. She describes their
Maintaining a sense of hope in the face of a cancer diagnosis can be challenging, but it is critical for the health and happiness of patients and their families.
experience as a victory, in spite of his death, and she’s been a passionate advocate for cancer research funding ever since. Decisions about when a patient will die, and where, are part of creating hope for loved ones. As Tim’s wife said, “We had to be ready because we had to go on. There
was a point where it’s all about the people who live. It’s not about the person who dies. It’s about what will make it OK for the ones who live.” Orchestrating the readiness of children for such an outcome is part of this planning. The Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky said “to live without hope is to cease to live.” Hope feeds the courage to keep going during challenging and uncertain treatments. It’s what allows family cancer caregivers to carry on every day. It’s what allows people like Mimi to undertake unthinkable treatments, and it’s what allows exhausted caregivers to heal in the aftermath. Deborah J. Cornwall is an experienced advocate on behalf of cancer patients and their families. She is the author of Things I Wish I’d Known: Cancer Caregivers Speak Out, a new book based on interviews with 86 cancer caregivers and dozens of patients and survivors.

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

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

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

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

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

HOW TO
locate resources
help is available in your neighborhood and across the country Government agencies are an invaluable resource that can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 created the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a national network of agencies that promote and protect the health and well-being of older adults. Amendments to the OAA provided grants to Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), giving them the resources to identify local needs and plan and fund local programs. The Department of Health & Human Services describes this comprehensive network as the National Aging Network. The key components of this network, which
serves seven million Americans age 60 and over, as well as 325,000 caregivers, are the Administration on Aging, the State Units of Aging and the Area Agencies on Aging.

The notice should have also told you that you can choose your own Part D plan by December 31, 2013 to avoid being assigned to a plan. You will receive this blue follow-up notice from CMS in December if you have not actively chosen a different Part D plan for 2014. This notice will include the name of the Part D plan you will be assigned to if you do not make any changes. If you get this notice, you should review whether the Part D plan assigned to you will cover the prescription drugs that you need in 2014. Since you have Extra Help, you will pay low costs for prescription drugs that are covered under your Part D plan. You will

also be able to change your Part D plan once a month. However, it is important that you read through this notice carefully and make sure that the Part D plan will cover most, if not all, of the medications you need in 2014. Extra Help helps you pay for your prescription drugs only if the drugs are covered by your Part D plan. If the Part D plan on the notice does not cover some of the drugs that you need, you can call 800-MEDICARE to select a different Part D plan for 2014. Remember, you must do this by December 31, 2013. To learn about other Part D plans in your area, you can contact 800-MEDICARE or go online and visit www. medicare.gov/find-a-plan. You can also contact your local State Health Insurance
Assistance Program for help in finding a Part D plan that best suits your needs.

avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations
H
ospitalizations can be necessary and appropriate, but in some instances may be avoidable. Unnecessary hospitalizations are not only costly but can also slow down the recovery process. Evidence from multiple studies suggests that repeat hospital stays can be avoided through more effective transitioning of the patient from hospital to home, and with health coaching, education and support to enable the patient to selfmanage their condition. Most hospital patients are anxious to return to the comfort of their home, but they may need some additional support to make that goal a reality. Home health agencies can offer services that may help patients make a smooth transition and avoid a readmission to the hospital. Too often, patients mistakenly believe that they can promptly return to the life they were living prior to their hospital admission. Generally, patients are discharged from the hospital when they are stable and improving, but long before they have regained all their strength. Home health agencies may be the right option for patients who need extra help recovering. Many home health agencies offer care for patients following a hospital stay for surgery, illness, injury or exacerbation of a disease. These programs help patients recover, to the greatest extent

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

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

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

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

should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, no-
tice 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.

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