hat really makes a community? It is certainly not beautiful iron gates or modern homes filled with high-tech conveniences. Communities — real, strong communities — are made of dynamic individuals who share common interests and goals. A community is only as robust as its people. At Chevy Chase House, an assisted living facility in Washington, D.C., an incredible group of active residents are the heart of this thriving community. We met David Breasted, a former reporter for The Evening Star, and Evie Thompson, the mother of two incredibly accomplished women, Anne Henderson and Nina Altschiller. Dallal Richards, an avid horticulturalist, bridge player and flower show judge, is also a central part of the community. And Charles Missar, who worked for The Library of Congress and the Office of Education, is another of the many vibrant individuals who call Chevy Chase House home.
While there is no shortage of active residents with fascinating stories, no one better exemplifies the positive spirit that permeates Chevy Chase House than Ruth Nadel. “I just celebrated my 98th birthday, and, I must say, I’ve enjoyed every bit of my 98 years,” said Ruth. A lifelong activist and organizer whose growing legacy includes a scholarship foundation and a volunteer network, Ruth has always been interested in furthering educational opportunities and building strong communities. Ruth’s passion for education started early. She was a member of the first class at the City University of New York’s Baruch College that admitted women. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and later got her Master’s in Education and became a teacher. At the tender age of 20, she was teaching high school students. She quickly became involved in the first of many community partnerships. “I taught many immigrant children; we’d give them vocational training and find them

jobs provided by cooperating business organizations,” she said. “These youngsters never dropped out, and they got business experience.” Later, as the mother of four boys, Ruth was active in the educational community as a volunteer. Her unpaid work did not go unnoticed. She was elected to the school board in Santa Barbara, CA, where the family lived in the 50s and 60s. Through her work on the school board, Ruth realized that many minority children did not have an opportunity to continue their education. She, with several other community activists, took it upon themselves to start The Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation to provide support for these children. “Anyone seeking further or higher education is eligible – whether to be a plumber or an engineer, a student or an artist,” she said. Ruth and her fellow founders invited Santa Barbara’s business and community leaders to a luncheon. “That was 50 years ago,” she said with genuine pleasure. “It was enlarged to include some neighboring counties, and it is rated today as one of the best nonprofits in the country.” After raising their children in Santa Barbara, Ruth and her husband moved back to the east coast and settled at the Van Ness North in Washington, D.C. When the residents of the cooperative apartment building noticed that one of their neighbors was blind and needed extra help, they decided to take action. They turned to Iona, a non-profit agency providing community-based programs and services to seniors in Washington, D.C. With the help of Iona, Ruth developed a questionnaire that polled residents about their need for help or, alternatively, their willingness to help their neighbors. The response was overwhelming, and the project eventually became what is now the Volunteer Neighbor Network. “To this day, so many years later, it is still thriving,” said Ruth. “And now, would you believe there are over forty different kinds of services available, more than half of which are social?” Based on accredited unpaid work after years of volunteering, Ruth became a public servant for 21 years in the Women’s Bureau at the U.S. Department of Labor. During her tenure, she received the Distinguished Service Award for designing and developing the first employer supported child care center in a government agency. After retiring, she returned to her full time pro-bono work. Today, Ruth continues her community involvement from her new home at Chevy Chase House. In fact, moving has made it easier for her to fulfill her many commitments. Ruth was reappointed by the Mayor and continues to serve on the D.C. Commission on Aging. She is active in several organizations, including the National Council of Women’s Organizations. But even at 98, getting to meetings is never a concern, thanks to Chevy Chase House’s transportation service. “The thing that amazes me is the limo service,” Ruth declared. “It’s available to take you anywhere, and then you call and they come pick you up.” When Ruth is not out fulfilling her many obligations,
she is busy becoming part of her new community. She is even enjoying some leisure activities she never had time for, including a poetry reading group. “Chevy Chase House provides so many chances for you to enjoy yourself. You’re kept as busy as you want to be!” she observed. In addition to the community’s many amenities, Ruth has welcomed making new friends in her 90s. “I enjoy everyone here. There are so many broad backgrounds and some very interesting people,” she stated. “The opportunity to make friends with these people here, it’s a new life.” Ruth also appreciates the security that Chevy Chase House provides. From medication service to help with daily

tasks, she knows that there is always someone available to help. Since her initial move was the result of a traumatic fall two years ago, she realizes just how essential this security is to her active lifestyle. “Don’t believe the popular misconceptions about a retirement home,” Ruth said. “I call this my third life, and it really, really is.” She concluded, “It’s just wonderful that you can come here and see what a new life is like, and my nature is to take advantage of it.” Ruth and her fellow residents are certainly benefiting from all that Chevy Chase House has to offer. As individuals, they are all remarkable seniors with a wide array of professional and personal accomplishments. Together, they have become collaborators in an exceptional community.

22 years and counting!
I
t is hard to believe that this year we celebrate 22 years in business. From new professions to new options, so much has changed. But I can say without hesitation that retirement living has never looked so good. A few changes come to mind immediately. When we completed our first issue, there were less than five Professional Geriatric Care Managers practicing in the mid-Atlantic. Now, as
you can see from the article on page 51, this has developed into a genuine—and worthy—profession, with hundreds of care managers nationwide and dozens in our region. These professionals are essential to helping families navigate the vast array of options described in SourceBook. In our first edition, the term “assisted living” was in its infancy. Most communities serving this segment of the population referred to themselves
as “board and care homes,” “retirement homes,” or “personal care homes.” Today, Assisted Living represents the largest segment of the senior living industry. This issue’s cover story spotlights individuals who have made the move to senior living communities. In our front cover pull-out, you will see just a few of the vibrant residents of Chevy Chase House, including Ruth Nadel. At 98, she continues to serve on the D.C.

Commission on Aging and remains involved in several other organizations. I am impressed at how she and other residents are taking advantage of lifestyle options that are much more personcentered than what was available when we produced our first edition in 1990. Throughout the last two decades, it has been exciting to introduce our readers to the innovators and entrepreneurs working to better serve seniors and their loved ones. Some key developments include senior move managers (page 35), villages to support aging in community, and the vast amount of providers helping seniors “age in place” (see pages 189-243).
While it is exciting to reflect on the changes and developments in senior living and elder care since we started in 1990, one thing stands out from all the others: the change in perspective. Retirement living is no longer about finding a place to spend your last days. For more and more seniors, it is about pursuing new interests, sharing their talents, making friends, and staying active. In short, it is about fully enjoying what has become one of the most exciting stages of life. Although retirement living options have certainly evolved to fit the needs of today’s seniors, there is still work to be
done. The providers you will find listed in SourceBook are busy continuing to improve on the available options—and creating new alternatives. Please do not be shy about sharing your ideas with them or us. Visit us online at retirementliving.com or call us at 1-800-394-9990. Together, we can make the next 22 years even better than the last!

Why should these Retirement Communities be on your short list? Nationally, only 15 percent of all Continuing Care Retirement Communities have earned the "seal of approval" from the non-proďŹ t CARF Continuing Care Accreditation Commission. The CARF-CCAC is the nation's only system for accrediting continuing care retirement communities.
We are proud that our communities: â&#x2013; voluntarily meet the HIGHEST STANDARDS of excellence â&#x2013; submit to regular inspections and reviews â&#x2013; care about our residents' well-being and our staffs' training â&#x2013; maintain ďŹ nancial accountability and competent administration

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 clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision as to 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;DDayâ&#x20AC;? (for decision made) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;M-Dayâ&#x20AC;? (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.

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.

creating a visual record when making a move Insurance companies recommend keeping an inventory with photos of household goods. Make a page for each room in the house, with numbered columns, listing the item (“bureau”), a description (“4-drawer oak chest, 30 inches long”), its history (“wedding gift”), and additional comments (“For my granddaughter Isabel”). If you want your family to decide which pieces interest them, leave the last column blank.
Number the photographs to correspond with the list. With a digital camera, you can create an electronic record that can be sent via e-mail. This will help sort and assign belongings, as each family member can mark those items they would like.

HOW TO
elder law attorneys cater to your legal needs
S
ince living decisions are becoming increasingly complex, many people find themselves searching for someone who can cater to their specific legal needs. Making sure that you have the right professional for the job at hand is the first, and one of the most important, tasks that you have in getting any job done the right way. When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney may take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence. What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse.

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions
T
he most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp. org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource as long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Whether you get a referral or try someone new, keep your options open. A friend may have had a good experience, but your case is different and you need to decide for yourself.

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

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

HOW TO
ensure a positive relationship with an attorney
communication is key Get Everything in Writing Once you decide to hire an attorney, ask that your arrangement be put in writing. This agreement can be recorded in the form of a letter or formal contract. It should specifically define what services the attorney will perform for you and the fees that will be assessed for the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services. If your agreement remains oral and is not put into writing, you have still made a contract and are responsible for all fees assessed by the attorney and his/her staff. Make It a Good Experience A positive and open relationship between attorney and client benefits both parties. The key to a successful client/attorney relationship is communication. The questions on page 41 will help you develop
If you take the time to make sure that you are comfortable with your attorney, you will make this a productive experience for both you and the attorney.
a successful relationship with your attorney. Use the answers to these questions as a guide to determine the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifications and also to determine whether you
can comfortably work with the attorney. If your concerns are not addressed, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the answers to these questions, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses, or if you simply do not feel relaxed with the attorney, do not make an agreement for services. If you are satisfied with the attorney you have hired, you will trust him or her to do the best job for you. Only if you have established a relationship of open communication will you be able to resolve any difficulties which may arise between the two of you. If you take the time to make sure that you are comfortable with your attorney, you will make this a productive experience for both you and the attorney.

HOW TO
prepare legal documents
advance directives that put your affairs in order Advance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury. Finding an Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address legal nuances, personal prefer-
ences and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any
medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

My first job out of law school was with Legal Services—a firm that represents low income clients. That was long ago but it taught me that having a beautiful office or a big staff is not necessary to the crafting of good legal solutions. What is important is to have a knowledgeable lawyer who has the ability to make complex issues clear and who has a genuine concern for costs.

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, 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 includes 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 have paid their share before the client pays any balance due. Another important component of one’s financial health concerns the identity. 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.”
PERSONAL PAPERWORK SERVICES FOR ELDERLY PERSONS SINCE 1985.
Additionally, DMMs can help with income 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.

are you eligible for a reverse mortgage? a unique financing option
For a large number of homeowners, reverse mortgages have become an increasingly popular financing option as it allows them to remain in their homes and receive utions LTD much-needed funds. A reverse mortgage is an exact replica of a traditional mortgage— only in reverse. Instead of repayversions ing a lender, homeowners utilize the equity they have built up to receive payments from the lender. Several criteria must be met before a consumer is eligible for a reverse mortgage. Potential borrowers must be at least 62 years of age and live in their own home. A
Mortgage $ Solutions
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. Singlefamily 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, interest 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. Borrowers are required to meet with a reverse mortgage counselor before obtaining a loan. Counselors are independent professionals who provide education about the mortgages and can suggest 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.

HOW TO
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it With the complex maze of resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved one are primary candidates for 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
Helping Seniors for Over 35 Years
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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

G e r i at r i c C a r e M a n ag e m e n t Questions To Ask When Looking For a Professional Geriatric Care Manager Professional Geriatric Care Managers have diverse experience, educations and backgrounds. Many are licensed in their state in specific fields (such as nursing or social work). Geriatric Care Managers do not specialize in all areas. When a Geriatric Care Manager says s/he practices “care management,” find out her/his areas of expertise. You will want to hire someone who regularly handles clients with similar needs.
It is important for the wise consumer to ask questions. Some of these include: 1. What are your professional credentials? 2. Are you licensed in your profession? 3. Are you a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers? 4. How long have you been providing care management services? 5. Are you available for emergencies? 6. Does your company also provide home care services? 7. How do you communicate information to me? 8. What are your fees? (These should be provided to the consumer/responsible party in writing prior to services starting.) 9. Can you provide me with references?

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

Pledge of Ethics for Professional Geriatric Care Managers According to its website, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers’ Pledge of Ethics provides Accountability to our Clients NAPGCM members recognize diversity in our society and embrace a multi-cultural approach to support the worth, dignity, potential and uniqueness of each client. The Code of Ethics acknowledges the vulnerable population we serve and makes explicit the highest standards of practice. Accountability to the Public The Code of Ethics sets a national standard for the professional practice of care management. It defines for the public the ethical responsibilities expected of NAPGCM’s members and the organization’s role in maintaining the highest Standards of Practice and promotion of ethical behavior. Education of Care Managers NAPGCM recognizes the diversity of the experience and education of its members and the needs of members for guidance in both their professional and business roles, and thus the Code of Ethics was developed to guide members in each of these roles. It states the core values and principles to current and future members, to the public and to allied professionals. All members of NAPGCM are expected to understand and behave in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the Code of Ethics. A Framework for Analyzing & Resolving Ethical Dilemmas The Code of Ethics offers a framework for ethical decisionmaking when conflicts arise in either the practice or the business of professional care management. It assists care managers in examining the ethical issues present in all aspects of their work by identifying what principles need to be considered and how to
prioritize them when it is necessary to make a choice. It asks care managers to be aware of their own biases as they seek to resolve ethical dilemmas. Assistance in Dispute Resolution In the NAPGCM’s dispute resolution process the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice serves as the basis for assessing and resolving ethical complaints against members in their practice of care management.

ness and conscientious care of geriatric patients. Proper patient care requires a thorough evaluation of the patient and diligent coordination of services with the home health agency. Legitimate medical groups have a reputation for making decisions based on the best interests of the patient. Call your local home health agency or speak with a home care nurse and ask: “What is this physician's reputation for the quality of care?” According to Dappen, there are sources on the web that provide evaluations and written commentaries. “Paidfor websites have a little more methodology behind obtaining that data,” he says. “The Virginia Board of Medicine website allows all consumers to see any physicians who have a claim against them or any type of disciplinary action.” Dappen also recommends asking nurses and surgeons who often work around potential physicians. “What is always a good question is ‘If it was your
www.retirement-living.com 1-800-394-9990
loved one, who would you pick?’” he says. Taking note of the physician-owner presence is also key when recognizing high-standard medical groups. The physician registered as owning the group should be present every day or have hired a medical director to be present in his/her place. The medical group should have membership in the AAHCP. Not only must the house call physician be a current member, but he/she should follow the AAHCP's "Principles of Medical Ethics." About the AAHCP Community standards are rising as increasing numbers of high-quality physicians are offering house calls. The AAHCP has published home care ethical guidelines and developed standards for credentialing physician home care medical practices. With the academy’s volunteers consistently working to enhance practice education, they have provided this community with differ-
ent useful publications. Its members now include home care physicians and individuals who can either act as home health agency medical directors or offer referrals to such agencies. Their specialties include internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics and geriatrics, among others. The AAHCP office can be reached at 410-676-7966. The AAHCP provides a list of its members and medical groups providing home care physician services as a public service. The listing is intended for informational purposes only. The AAHCP does not check the compliance of its members with licensing, billing or other regulatory requirements. It cannot attest to the qualifications and billing practices of individual physicians. Therefore, users should obtain information about licensure, qualifications and billing from the physicians and groups themselves.

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 needs and budget constraints before decidcaller is identified through special coding. ing on any one system.

Home for all Generations
Universal Design creates spaces designed for convenience, safety and economy Baby Boomers are the generation of choice, and when it comes to their retirement needs, they plan to do things their way. In fact, a recent AARP survey examining the opinions of Americans over the age of 45 found that the majority of them plan to stay in their current residence for as long as possible. Combine this information with the Center for Disease Control’s findings that falls are the leading cause of injury or death among people 65 years and older, and that 60 percent of these fatal falls happen at home. It’s no wonder that there is a growing trend among home builders and remodelers to create “universal design” living spaces. Universal design homes need to accommodate occupants with decreased health, vision, mobility, hearing, dexterity and income. There are a number of ways that new houses can be designed, or existing houses
can be remodeled, to make life easier for people with such limitations, whether they be an older adult or injured. And the bonus is that such modifications usually make the home more comfortable and more safe for everyone. Most issues related to universal design fit into one of three categories: convenience, safety/health, and economy. Designs for convenience include anything that makes life easier, such as automatic garage door openers, lighted switches, lever handles for doors and faucets, wheelchair ramps, home elevators and stair lifts, wider halls and doors, intercom systems, taller toilets, and openings without raised thresholds (including shower stalls), among many others. Businesses catering to the aging community have exploded, and most offer adapted versions of their regular products. Installing lever-type door handles, for ex-
ample, or wheelchair accessible entrances and bathrooms isn’t any more expensive than regular knobs and doorways. Safety considerations include adjusting water temperature to avoid scalding injuries, good lighting, installation of smoke detectors, placement of handrails and grabbars, removal of slippery throw rugs, and generally reducing clutter and obstacles. Universal design modifications generally increase the home’s value—making these changes economically sound. As more home buyers look for houses where they can age in place, universally designed spaces are becoming increasingly valuable. Universal design accommodates everyone from small children to the elderly. It’s a worthwhile consideration in the planning stages of house design if a homeowner is planning to stay in the same house after retirement.

applying universal design concepts By Michael Leite, P.E.
U
niversal design has been defined as building environments that are accessible by anyone regardless of their physical limitations or disabilities. Much of the universal design concept has been codified in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. In practice, most situations involve the retrofitting of an existing space with all of its limitations rather than the construction of a new space in which the designer has an empty palette. In the retrofit situation, the design must accommodate the specific needs and disabilities of the intended occupant rather than meeting the needs of the general population. In this way, the impact on the existing structure is minimized and the project is more affordable. The first consideration is mobility. This involves the selection of flooring that allows the resident to move about easily without tripping and falling. It also includes the installation of grab bars in strategic locations that enable residents to get-up and down and maintain their balance. In the case of major renovations, this may involve the installation of an elevator or stair-lift. The second consideration is lighting. Individuals with low vision require special task lighting in addition to quality general illumination. A thorough analy-
Aging in Place Beautiful Accessibility sm Relocation and Staging Lighting and the Aging Eye
sis determines both the amount of light and the best color qualities of the light source. Each individual is different with respect to the optimum light source, the necessary light levels and the effect of veiling luminance or glare. The third consideration is the bathroom. Having addressed the issue of mobility, we now turn to the selection of fixtures and controls. The installation of a comfort height toilet with an integral bidet function can facilitate personal hygiene. The shower and bath tub should have controls that are accessibly placed and control all of the functions. Other fixtures, like the sink, should allow residents to move about freely. The fourth consideration is the kitchen. Appliances must be selected to facilitate their use by individuals with physical limitations. This includes both the major appliances (stove, refrigerator and dishwasher) and the portable appliances (can opener, coffee maker and garbage can). The design must consider the work-flow in the kitchen as well as personal safety. The fifth consideration is the general living space. Here the use of sensors, remote controls and alarms can ensure the comfort, ease of use and safety of the residents. Similarly, the selection of furnishings and surface treatments must be based on the needs and comfort of the individual.

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 can impart valuable companionship upon 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, and 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.

concierge services provide companionship Many transportation services go above and beyond the simple ride, offering personal concierge services so your loved one will experience healthy companionship. For many seniors who wish to remain in their own homes as they age, completing daily tasks such as cooking, shopping, medical appointments and filling prescriptions can become too much to handle alone. Concierge services know that seniors do not have to sacrifice their independence
simply because of age or a disability. These providers can help make a stay at home easier and more enjoyable by taking part in favorite hobbies with their clients and helping with ordinary tasks of everyday life. Some popular uses for concierge services include grocery shopping, cleaning and organizing, computer training, bill paying, post office errands, dry cleaning, pet services, laundry and gardening. Of course, most concierge services are open
to suggestion and will accommodate any reasonable request to serve those in need. Time is valuable, and for the children of aged loved ones who work full time, this companionship is an important supplement to the care they provide at home. The next time an older friend or parent needs assistance, don’t spread yourself too thin. Consider using a transportation or concierge service to make the most of your time and ensure that your loved one is receiving safe and appropriate care.

HOW TO
find resources for military
D.C. region offers resources to military & federal retirees who have served our country
M
ilitary personnel and federal employees are essential to the function and success of the federal government. As our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is home to a large number of federal employees, military personnel and their families. From retirement communities for military officers and their spouses to associations that represent the needs of federal employees, there are resources available in this area to help those who have served our country. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), there are 25 million veterans currently alive, and three of every four of those veterans completed their service during a period of war or hostility. Their website notes that “approximately 70 million people are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members, or survivors of veterans.” Countless organizations, associations and communities serve the large concentration of these veterans and their family members who live in the D.C. metro area.
From independent living to nursing care, there are communities in the D.C. area available to serve the needs of military retirees. Many of these communities cater specifically to retired officers and their spouses. Communities are often located near military hospitals or medical centers, and transportation is often provided. These communities provide a vital service to retired military personnel, and combine lifestyle amenities with readily available services. In addition to the resources listed on the next page, veterans should be aware of the benefits available through the VA Disability Pension including a special benefit for Aid and Attendance. The Aid and Attendance benefit is for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular assistance of another person with activities of daily living, including eating, bathing, dressing and toileting. Nursing home patients, assisted living residents and individuals who are blind are also covered under this benefit. War veterans with 90 days of active duty and/or their surviving spouses are eligible for this benefit. Beneficiaries must also meet certain medical and financial requirements. To qualify, appli-
cants must file appropriate paperwork, receive a medical examination by a physician, meet net worth and net income limitations, and submit information detailing out-of-pocket medical expense costs. Those deemed eligible can use the Aid and Attendance benefit to pay for care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living community. Veterans and their spouses will receive set monthly payments. To apply for any of the VA’s wide range of benefits, call 1-800-827-1000 or visit their website at www.va.gov. Other benefits for veterans and their family members include: Education, Home Loan Guaranty, Disability Compensation, Disability Pension, Dependency Indemnity Compensation, Death Pension, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), Medical Care, Burial, and Life Insurance. Both military and government retirees should investigate all of the benefits, services and options that are available to them. The list on page 71 includes contact information for many of these resources.

Homes are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards, so residents can enjoy the tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking paths and fitness centers that are generally available within these communities.

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. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. Ideal for empty nesters, but not limited to those who have stopped working, active

thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

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

HOW TO
know what to ask
the top five questions for residency counselors Your family has been encouraging you to consider moving to a retirement community; your neighbors recently moved; and now, you’ve received an invitation in the mail from that beautiful community you’ve always wondered about. Making the decision to finally visit a retirement community can often be a big decision in and of itself. Determining which community will be a good fit to live in takes planning, preparation and an open mind. If you’ve ever visited a college campus with a prospective student, you know it’s easy to be impressed by the admission department’s presentations. Glossy brochures, enthusiastic student tour guides, and professionally created videos all highlight what the university has to offer. Serious students study the course

offerings, degree programs, faculty experience, post-graduation employment rates, etc. based on their own personal interests. Prospective residents of a retirement community should also draft their own list of criteria. Equally important, is creating a list of questions that will enable the visitor to fully understand the community’s offerings. While most look similar on the surface, there are important differences between senior living options. In this article, we’ll focus on continuing care retirement communities, or CCRCs, because they have the most to offer and also have the most detailed contracts. CCRCs provide all levels of care on the same campus (and by the way, the use of the term ‘campus’ is not the only
similarity between colleges and CCRCs). Here you’ll find independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care, and usually memory care. When health care is needed, it is convenient and less stressful to move to another location within the same community than to move across town to an unfamiliar facility. In addition to healthcare, CCRCs offer dining services, fitness facilities, educational programs, housekeeping and maintenance services, and unlimited opportunities to engage in social activities. During a tour of the community you will see and hear about many of these wonderful amenities. Depending on your level of interest in the community, you will want to request time to sit down with the residency counselor to Continued on page 78

explore all facets of what the community has to offer. Because health care can be such a large variable in the cost of living at a CCRC, you’ll want to understand exactly what is, and is not, included in the Residence and Care Agreement. Among the most important questions you will want to ask are: 1. What health care costs are covered by the Residence and Care agreement and what must be paid out-of-pocket? CCRC Residence and Care agreements are regulated by the state of Maryland, however the details vary by community. a. How long can I concurrently occupy space in independent living and skilled nursing before paying an extra fee? b. How will my monthly fee change if I need assisted living or skilled nursing care?
Because health care can be such a large variable in the cost of living at a CCRC, you’ll want to understand exactly what is, and is not, included in the Residence and Care Agreement.
2. Is the entrance fee refundable and under what terms? a. How much will be refunded? b. When will it be refunded? 3. What has the monthly fee increase been over the past 5 years? How has the community assisted residents who’ve had difficulty paying higher fees? 4. What was the suggested tax deduction allowance for medical care last year?
5. How is the community managed? a. What is the experience and tenure of the top executives? b. Are residents involved in decision making? There are, of course, many more questions to ask and things to understand before making such a significant decision, but this is at least a start. Ask every community you visit the same questions. Compare all the answers, and then determine which community best fits your needs and interests. Just as important, however, is to let yourself feel which community is the right fit. Considering everything together will increase your satisfaction with the community you ultimately choose.

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

Understanding CCRCs 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 long-term 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.

HOW TO
live independently
I n depe n de n t L i v i ng
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? Senior Center Plus is a program of structured group activities and enhanced socialization, which is designed to have a positive impact on physically frail or cognitively impaired individuals. The services available at a Senior Center Plus site include recreational activities and socialization in accordance with the care plan developed for each participant. Appropriate meals and snacks are served to participants in a dining area accessible to persons with disabilities. The level of personal support is less in-
tensive than medical adult day care, yet 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. There are currently 43 Senior Center PLUS sites in Maryland. For more information, contact 1-800-AGE-DIAL.

HOW TO
understand rental options
what is available and how to qualify According to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level qualifies, a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24-hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing or low-income housing that is owned and operated by
a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for
each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privately-owned communities near you. Source: http://www.aahsa.org/article. aspx?id=3780

how to interview for senior housing understanding the process I participated in almost 700 interviews, all the same, yet all different. I would meet with the elder first and answer his questions. I would find out where he was currently living and why he wanted to move. Then the family members joined us. I would answer more questions, discuss the entrance requirements, and go through the activity calendar. I would then ask for the required documents. I also read aloud a document to them, to prevent any misunderstanding, about what we had done that day and what the next steps were. I then took the whole group on a tour of an apartment and the common areas. I made sure to introduce the applicant by name to all residents and staff who passed by us on the tour. For some senior buildings, the procedure is to have you fill out an application and return it to the staff before you come for the interview. For some places, you have to pay to be on the waiting list.
n
By Roberta Schultz Benor
You should understand what each building requires. Questions You Should Ask n What are the good/bad points about this facility? n Do I meet the financial requirements? n What will my apartment or room look like? n How much will it cost me to live here each month? n What kind of meal program do you offer? n How large is the staff and what kind of care will I receive? n What activities do you offer? n What are the rules about coming and going and having visitors and pets? n When would I be able to move in and what happens on move-in day? n What am I allowed to bring? n Who will decide when I have to move out
n
of here? Would I be happy here?
What Your Answers Should Be All your answers should be honest ones. If you do not remember an answer, it is fine to write down the question and tell the interviewer that you will get back to him. You should feel at the end of the interview that you were treated well, that you understand the requirements for living in the facility, and that you know what will happen from that day on in regard to the application process. You probably will be asked to sign many papers at the interview. Most of the signatures give the staff the necessary permission to continue the application process. Excerpted from Roberta’s book “The Keys to Senior Housing: A Guide for Two Generations” (PublishAmerica 2009).

Top Tips for the Transition Making the Most of the Move to a Retirement Community • by Cathy Ritter A whirlwind schedule packed with activities, such as traveling to nearby historical attractions or a professional sporting event. Working out in a fully-equipped health center or participating in a video game tournament. Some days, not getting to bed until well after midnight. This isn’t college – it’s today’s retirement community. Despite this new paradigm in retirement living, the decision to move into a retirement community is still one of the biggest challenges older Americans face, often with a great deal of reluctance. Obviously, it can be difficult to let go of a home where they have raised families and accumulated a lifetime’s worth of possessions, and equally difficult to face the fact that they may someday need assistance with the daily tasks of living. Unless the decision is essentially made by circumstance, such as a health crisis or the death of a spouse, some still tend to believe that retirement communities are for “other people.” But that’s changing. Many — in particular Boomers — now cite a desire to plan ahead, or simply the need to downsize and escape the maintenance associated with a house or yard. Once that decision is made, selecting the right community can be equally challenging. “The idea of searching for and selecting the right community may deter people who could otherwise benefit from one,” says Cathy Ritter, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Asbury Communities, Inc., a not-for-profit organization that manages a system of communities across the U.S. “But today’s communities are a far cry from the stereotypical ‘rest home,’ and the majority of residents are not holed up in their apartments watching ‘Matlock’ reruns. They offer a vibrant lifestyle; encourage social interactions; and have a real, positive energy. There’s a sense of belonging, and of being among family.” There are many factors that can help alleviate some of the stress of moving. Ritter offers some tips that will assist in providing a seamless transition to a new community. 1. Total immersion: After conducting thorough initial research into prospective communities, go experience them —and taking a campus tour should be just the beginning, according to Ritter. “Going for a meal or two, sitting down with residents and staff members, or participating in an activity will give you a realistic idea of day-to-day life. Many communities now offer truly multidimensional wellness programs that go beyond a pool or walking path. You’ll find opportunities to get involved at all levels.” 2. Keep family in the loop: When moving through the selection process, keep close family members involved. They can provide a strong support system, and it will show both the family and the staff that their input is valued. 3. Hire a pro: Hiring professionals to help with the move from the family house to the new space can be extremely beneficial. “Most likely, you won’t be able to take all of your possessions along,” says Ritter, “but there is a growing industry of individuals and companies who specialize in relocating to retirement communities. A professional can help you decide what to keep, leave behind, give away or sell.” 4. C reate a space: As you settle into your new space at the community, it may help to arrange furniture and decorations in a manner that is similar to how things were set up at home. This will help remove some of the discomfort that comes with being in a new place. 5. Get to know the staff: These are the people who live with and care for the residents on a daily basis, so an honest and open relationship is extremely beneficial. The more they know about you from the beginning, the better they will be able to take care of your needs. Transitioning from home to a community is a major life change, but keeping these tips in mind can help reduce the stress of a move and ensure that adults can enjoy this exciting new time in their lives to the fullest. They’ll wish they had moved ten years ago. For the full version of this article, visit retirement-living.com

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) 724-5622 to connect with the lead agency serving your neighborhood.
Faces of Friendship “It’s nice here, with so many activities — if you want to do something, you can!” - Earl Blake, resident since 2010
A true musician at heart, Earl Blake has worked on albums with legends such as saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, and toured professionally with singer-songwriter Bobby Hebb. Born in Savannah, Earl was raised in New York and began taking piano lessons when he was 8 years old. He settled in Washington, DC in 1980 where he gave piano lessons and played regularly at the Ritz-Carlton. When he’s not enjoying community activities, Earl continues to play and share his music with others.

Understanding Independent Living in Maryland In Maryland, senior apartments are generally for people age 62 and over, but some will accept younger disabled people. Spouses under age 62 may be allowed. There are usually no supportive services available. Some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program.” Congregate Meals
Congregate meals are offered in more than 250 meal sites including senior centers, religious facilities, housing facilities or other community sites throughout Maryland. Many meal program locations are within stateof-the-art facilities and offer a variety of engaging activities such as health promotion and exercise centers. Meal sites offer an opportunity to meet new friends and participate in other social or health-related programs including nutrition education, physical activity and health screening. In 2009, seniors received nearly 1.5 million meals in congregate settings throughout Maryland. Most senior congregate nutrition sites of-
fer a hot lunch; however, some congregate settings offer deli lunches, salad bars, soups and sandwiches or evening meals. Breakfast programs are offered in several locations. A variety of culturally-appropriate meals are offered in select locations including kosher, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean. Congregate Housing Services Program
The mission of the Congregate Housing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies to eligible residents of low and moderate income 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 Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook
least 62 years of age and in need of assistance in one or more activities of daily living. The program provides meals, weekly housekeeping of each participant’s apartment, and limited personal assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing and laundry. The cost of the Congregate Housing Services Program varies by site. Individual program participants contribute to the cost based on a sliding scale. State subsidies are available for eligible residents of participating sites who require financial assistance. To qualify for a subsidy, 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. Currently, there are more than 574 units of Congregate Housing Services located in more than 25 senior citizen apartment buildings statewide. To view a list of congregate housing sites in Maryland or to receive additional information on local housing programs, contact your local Senior Information and Assistance Program. ■

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 “congre-
gate housing facilities.” They define congregate housing facilities as generally providing private living quarters, meals in a central dining room, shared living spaces and access to social and recreational facilities. The VDA states, “For people who do not require nursing home care, congregate housing is a very popular and economic alternative to institutional care. It is most suitable
for the more frail members of the elderly population - those who find it difficult to manage home maintenance, shopping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.” Rent subsidies under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 8 Rental Assistance Program may be available to assist with the cost of rent in congregate housing facilities.
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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;a unique transition from independent living without careâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;helps seniors enjoy an improved quality of life with independence and care combined.â&#x20AC;? 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 personal

Assisted Living 10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living Facility 1. M ake an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions. 4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman, who is an advocate for assisted living and nursing home residents. 7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility. 8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate or move to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee. Ask what additional charges apply for services/products. 10. Choose the facility that comes closest to your needs. From The Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a national consumer education and advocacy organization. Visit www.ccal.org for more information. Z7008-VH GRL Ad 1110

things to look for in senior housing In the AARP Magazine article titled ‘Selecting Senior Housing,’ Dimitra Kessnides outlined some suggestions of things to look for in a potential community, including the following: Observe residents. Is their hair clean? Is their clothing soiled? What about the staff? Are they stressed, are they surly or curt? Check out the surroundings. Cleanliness is important, so look for uncollected garbage, dust and dirt. (Odors are normal in nursing homes, especially

when hallways are filled with bins of dirty bed linens). Check the bathrooms, look under the beds, etc. Ask to see the menu. Is there variety and nutritional balance? Is the home sensitive to different dietary needs? You can ask for a copy of the menu and later show it to your parent’s doctor for feedback. Check on where residents eat breakfast. Is it served in bed on a tray? Superior homes will have residents up and out in the dining room. To view this article, visit http://www.

assisted living/personal care service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for their care that describes their 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.

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 individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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

HOW TO
engage loved ones
implementing person-centered care simply and spontaneously n By Karen Love Research has validated the high success rates of applying Montessori-based techniques therapeutically to enhance physical and cognitive functions, reduce excess disability, and support well-being among elders. Besides Montessori’s efficacy, it is also easy, fun and inexpensive to implement. Because of its ease and positive values, staff are able to experience short-term success. This success is personally rewarding to staff and provides encouragement for them to continue to increase their skills and expertise, while also providing opportunities to nurture positive relationships with elders – which in turn enhances staff job satisfaction and retention. One day I observed a housekeeper in an assisted living residence pass by a table
where a resident was engrossed in using tongs to pick up ping pong balls and place them into ice cube trays. Also on the table was a container full of 80 multi-colored shower curtain rings. The housekeeper quietly pulled up a chair and began clipping the shower curtain rings together. Before long, she had strung together 25 rings. The resident looked up and told her “she was doing a great job and to keep up the good work.” She laughed and bantered back that he was pretty good with the tongs; had he honed that skill barbecuing? This got them talking about their favorite food to barbecue. The residence’s maintenance man was nearby and joined the conversation by detailing his recipe for mouth-watering barbecue sauce. Two staff members and a
resident spent a spontaneous five minutes together and ended up laughing and sharing fond memories of past meals. I shared this encounter with the resident’s daughter the next time I saw her. I was laughing remembering the funny barbecue recipe containing beer, honey, ketchup and most everything else in the maintenance man’s refrigerator when I noticed the daughter’s eyes welling. She looked up and said this story made her so happy. She was remembering how her father was asked to leave another facility because of his agitated behavior. The use of simple, everyday items to stimulate and engage her father not only helped enhance his physical function and well-being, but also effectively addressed his behavior challenges.

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 is 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 highlevel 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.

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 important to maintain independence. to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families.

HOW TO
connect, share and inspire
the benefits of networking for seniors
A
s we age, our social circles become smaller and smaller, but conversely our need for socialization increases. We begin to lose our family to their families, friends move on and our aging bodies may begin to restrict our ability to engage in the development of new circles. So where are seniors and baby boomers going in search of socialization? Seniors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sitting still and allowing this dynamic to slow them down. In fact, according to a media management company, comScore, among older people who went online last year, the number visiting social networking sites grew almost as fast as the overall rate of Internet use among that group. Seniors have time and an interest in being connected. Many suffer from chronic illnesses and are in search of data and support groups, while others want to feel a part of a community. Others just want a means by which to keep their minds active and a place to journal their thoughts. In fact, some research suggests that loneliness can hasten conditions like dementia and that online social connections may help delay this illness by keeping the mind active. They need a way to keep the mind
lively, to journal their legacy along with daily activities, and support in coping with the day-to-day challenges associated with the aging process. Today, there are a number of options on the social networking landscape for seniors and caregivers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but one in particular caught our attention. TreatmentDiaries.com has many distinctive attributes and as a result is growing quickly. Few sites capture the daily struggles of coping with a condition with anonymity and international reach to those who share your condition and want to show support. Why is this important? Most begin to feel guilty sharing the details of their condition(s) with family members/ friends and would rather connect with those who have empathy and understanding and seek the same level of support. As much as our families love us, they can never truly grasp the challenge without having personally lived it. TreatmentDiaries.com is a unique online resource, providing a real information exchange between people coping with or caring for anyone with a chronic illness or rare disease. This virtual support group is free and always available; offering a safe place to anonymously keep
AlfredHouse Eldercare, Inc. A Pleasant Alternative to Institutional Care
multiple diaries of your daily journey, across more than one condition - either privately or shared with others - allowing for shared coping strategies, support for others and the exchange of information. The networking site is dedicated to the needs of all types of users including individual patients, caregivers, family members and advocates. It promotes the importance of keeping a diary of life-changing experiences and the significance of engaging in behaviors and activities which promote health, mental wellness and the self-management of chronic conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to make authentic, quality, lifelong, and if they wish anonymous connections, and inspire others to face their condition,â&#x20AC;? said Amy Ohm, executive director and co-founder of the site. TreatmentDiaries.com was inspired by real stories of people struggling with chronic conditions and in desperate need of support. The goal is to connect those facing similar circumstances and facilitate the sharing of valuable information and support at every stage of an illness.

choosing where to live By Suzi Klyber Choosing where to live as you age is not an easy decision. There are so many variables that come into play. As a home care therapist, I often see people in the wrong setting for them. They do not have a clue where they should be living. Often, the family of the senior automatically assumes that they need to be moved to an assisted living. Gaining awareness of how to effectively make the right choice is important. How do you choose? What affects your choices? Below are some questions to guide your selection process: n Do you have the ability to perform all of the activities of daily living? n What are the costs of active adult or assisted living centers versus living in your own home with help? n Is your home accessible? If not, can it
be made accessible with simple changes? n Cost of moving versus making necessary changes that allow you to stay in your own home? n Do you have family close by to help with activities of daily living if necessary? n Are county services available to you at your income level? n Do you have the ability to pay someone to perform the activities of daily living you cannot or choose to no longer perform? n Do you prefer to stay close to your own doctors, church, community and friends? n Are you able to drive or do you need a ride everywhere you go? n Should you move closer to your children? Think about this decision in terms of your adult childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to stay where they are once they retire. n Do you have the money set aside to
pay for assisted living and/or a nursing home? Are you aware of the cost and/or the breakdown of costs? Children of seniors, please remember you are simply a consultant to your parents until they are no longer able to make these decisions themselves. Work with them and, if need be, bring in experts to evaluate the level of help they ultimately need (i.e.: senior care managers, social workers from your county, geriatric psychiatrists, occupational therapists that perform the KELS evaluation, Aging-InPlace Contractors). Forcing them into your way of thinking only destroys your relationship with them. Remember to work together as a team. Ask questions and be open and willing to learn what they desire and need. Suzi Klyber, OTR/L, is a Home Care Therapist for The Medical Team & Consultant for Granting-You-Access.

assisted living residents and children beat the same drum Most people think of bingo and bridge as the primary activities in senior living communities. These days, however, there are dozens of unique and innovative programming concepts being offered in communities. In fact, drum circles are a welcome new offering at dozens of communities throughout the region thanks to Alan Yellowitz, founder of The Beat Goes On, a company that facilitates percussionbased activities. According to Yellowitz, these musical activities are a great way to enable individuals to come together and contribute to the group in their own way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drum circles are all about forming a commu-
nity of folks that are creating rhythms together; everyone has their piece,â&#x20AC;? he said. Two local assisted living communities have even used drum circles to expand the community beyond their walls and forge relationships with local schools and children. Sunrise at Bluemont Park in Arlington, Va. had a program in which the residents of the community were pen pals with second graders at Ashlawn Elementary School. The community then held a drum circle led by Yellowitz as a way to connect the residents and children for their first face-to-face meeting. Another community promoting this activity is Tall Oaks Assisted Living in
â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people do so much better in a smaller settingâ&#x20AC;?
Reston, Va., where Yellowitz first led drum circles with the residents and then students at Sunset Hills Montessori. The two groups then joined together for a large intergenerational drum circle, which also kicked off a new program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were excited to connect our students with the seniors to share and learn about music and culture together,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Christopher Green, a music teacher at Sunset Hills Montessori. Not only are these drum circles a new and fun activity to keep residents engaged, but they also have proved to be a beneficial way to span generations and connect residents of a community with nearby individuals of all ages.

HOW TO
care for a loved one
the well spouse association offers support n by Terri Corcoran 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.

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

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
curiosity 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 plea-

sure. 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.

innovative wheelchair art connects all ages and abilities
inspired by a skateboard artist, a 10-year-old with severe physical limitations introduces a new form of art to residents living in a retirement community Ten-year-old Augie Webster is a bright boy with severe physical limitations as a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. After attending an art exhibit for skateboard artist Sean Greene, Augie used his communication device to tell his mother, Kathy Webster, “We can make wheelchair art.” Augie’s brother and sister enthusiastically supported the idea and Wheelchair Action Art was born. The Websters have partnered with residents at Goodwin House Bailey’s Crossroads, a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Falls Church, Va.

HOW TO
protect your family’s assets
an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs In 2010, more than 7,000 people turned 65 years old or older every single day, a figure that is predicted to rise in 2011. Further, an AARP survey revealed that only 4 in 10 of those people feel they will be financially secure for their golden years. For many, that lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of assisted living. That’s why Gabriel Heiser, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in nursing home law, believes that people should start planning now, even if they aren’t close to their 65th birthdays. “The average monthly cost of a nursing home today is $6,917 per month, and a typical Alzheimer’s patient will spend
$395,000 for their nursing home care after diagnosis,” said Heiser, author of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (www.MedicaidSecrets.com). “Those costs are only going to rise, so it’s important to plan now. One important benefit to consider is Medicaid, which can help offset a good amount of those costs, but only if you know what it takes to qualify for those benefits.” The mistake a lot of people make is thinking that they can’t qualify for Medicaid, according to Heiser. “Many feel that because they own a home or have some assets that they can’t qualify for Medicaid help with their nursing home and doctor’s bills,” he said. “The truth is there are a variety of assets
people can own and still qualify. It’s just a matter of knowing the rules, and making a plan to meet those requirements.” Heiser listed the asset limits for those applying for Medicaid. They include: • Cash – You can possess $2,000 cash that will not be counted as an asset in determining your Medicaid eligibility. • Home – There is a $500,000 exclusion toward your home, meaning that if your home is valued at $500,000 or less at the time of your application, it is excluded as an asset. Some states use the higher permitted exemption of $750,000. • Car – Up until recently, you could exclude only one car at a value of $4,500 or less, however that law has been changed. Now, one automobile of ANY current market value is excluded on your application.

• Funeral and Burial Funds – If you have a pre-planned funeral or memorial arrangement, the entire value of that plan is excluded. If you do not, a separate bank account that contains $1,500 toward funeral expenses can be excluded. If you have pre-purchased burial plots, you can exclude not only the costs of the plot for the applicant, but for the entire family, and still be eligible for Medicaid. • Property – According to federal law, any real or personal property that is essential to self-support, regardless of value or rate of return, is excluded. That could include farms, rental properties and other real estate investments
that generate income necessary for selfsupport. For rental income, however, the property must generate at least 6 percent of its value annually in order to qualify for the exclusion. • Life Insurance – Only the cash value of a life insurance policy owned by the applicant is counted, thus, all term policies are ignored. “There are so many other rules that can benefit those who aren’t sure they’ll have enough when the time comes,” Heiser added. “The key is to plan now and act now. These laws exist for your protection, and avoiding the discussion and the planning necessary to take care
of the potential complications just because it is an unpleasant topic will only result in a more unpleasant conversation when you realize you’re not ready when the worst happens. That can be a very expensive dilemma. Peace of mind right now, however, won’t cost a dime, and could save you hundreds of thousands of dimes later.” K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning, including trusts, estates, gifts, and related tax issues, since graduating from Boston University School of Law in 1983.

HOW TO
find long-term care assistance
A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing longterm 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. In addition to providing the information necessary to allow you to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help to resolve complaints against specific long-term care providers. Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a longterm 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. An Ombudsman can formally address your complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint investigation and negotiation. Following a thorough investigation, the Ombudsman will work with you and the long-term care provider to help resolve your concern(s). The counseling you receive from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help you to become an advocate for yourself or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to your complaint 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, then a signed waiver of rights to resident confidentiality is required, so that
the Ombudsman can review the records and speak to facility staff. 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. If you have questions about long-term care providers, a complaint about a specific provider or for more information regarding long-term care issues/needs, please contact your Area Agency on Aging to locate an Ombudsman in your community. This article was adapted from www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program in detail.

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
HOW TO
choose alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care
a special care residence may be the right option
S
pecial 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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
All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident.
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 Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
HOW TO
prevent wandering
insights to a common behavior People with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or other forms of dementia, can often wander away from their home. A critical wanderer is someone with dementia who has wandered away from their caregiver(s) on their own free-will. It causes worry and stress and presents local authorities with special problems. Someone with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is disorientated and unable to judge potentially dangerous places and situations. Time is critical when a life is at risk. People suffering from severe Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are more at risk and the incidence of critical wandering increases. Research provides useful insights into Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wandering behavior. People with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leave their own residence or nursing home and start to wander along roads. Eighty-nine percent of
patients are usually located within one mile (1.2 km) of the point last seen. If the person is not on the road itself, they are usually in a creek or drainage, and/ or caught in briars or bushes. The person is usually found wandering a short distance from a road; on average, 33 yards. Some patients eventually succumb to the environment (hypothermia, dehydration) and require evacuation or are deceased. Also: â&#x20AC;˘ They will not cry out for help or respond to shouts. â&#x20AC;˘ They will not leave many physical clues. â&#x20AC;˘ They may attempt to travel to a former residence or wander to a favorite location. An understanding of wandering be-
havior in Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease allows families, healthcare facilities, local authorities and search and rescue services to maximize their efforts within the most effective parameters. Nursing and residential homes should search the building and grounds and repeat the search every few hours. The wandererâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous home sites or places of special meaning should be searched. Areas with heavy bushes and briars and areas within 100 yards of the roadways need special attention, as someone with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can become entangled in them and not be able to make a judgment on how to get out. Information from the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association website was used in this article. Visit www.alz.org for more information.

HOW TO
find hospice care
improving the quality of life remaining A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. How Does One Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments.
Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or inpatient hospice residential settings.
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. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites.

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

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.

seniors bullying seniors
T
he word bullying usually conjures images of meanspirited adolescents cornering another child at school, but bullying can happen to seniors. According to an aging expert, senior-to-senior bullying tends to take place in senior communities, places where seniors spend a lot of time together and need to share resources such as chairs, televisions or the staff’s attention. It is estimated that 10-20% of seniors have experienced some type of senior-tosenior aggression in an institutional setting, much of it verbal abuse. Men and women are equally likely to be the victim and the aggressor. Women tend towards passive-aggressive behavior like whispering when someone enters a room, while men are more direct. Bullying behavior can range from verbal intimidation to physical violence. Features to be alert to include: -Repetitive, negative behavior towards another person which violates standards of appropriate conduct -Negative behavior occurring over a period of time, typically becoming more extreme -Behavior which may be consciously or unconsciously committed by the bully -Behavior which is unsolicited by the victim -The effects on the victim are lasting and harmful The causes of bullying vary. Dementia
Bullying can negatively impact both the victim and bystanders.
can sometimes be the cause of violence since someone with dementia may wrongly perceive things as threatening and resort to a more primitive response. Alternatively, a person with dementia can be the victim who is picked on. Bullying can also be a result of the human phenomenon of the strong picking on the weak, and not a function of aging at all. Alternatively, some people don’t adjust well to aging and can become disruptive and abusive, pushing others away from group activities, social gatherings or meal time. Bullying impacts both the victim and the bystanders. The impact for the victim can be cognitive, psychological, physical and behavioral. Mary, an active senior adult, had never experienced bullying until she moved in to a building for seniors. Since moving in, a number of residents who make up a “controlling group” have conspired to isolate her. They’ve spread false rumors, including one that she’d been evicted from her previous home. As a result, she curtails her activity in the building, avoids the laun-
dry room if others are present and stays out of the recreation room. She’s been having a hard time sleeping and is often fatigued. She says, “It’s hard because I’ve never had to deal with it before. It would be easier to take if there was any truth to it.” For bystanders, bullying creates a toxic environment of fear and mistrust. “Intervention is the key to halting bullying. Third party bystanders should report any abuse,” says Jean Tucker, MA, LPC, LBSW, a Medical Social Worker with THE MEDICAL TEAM. She suggests that seniors and family members who are concerned about potential bullying should report their concerns to the management or the social workers at their center who are trained to address it. Those in the process of selecting a senior community should ask if the community has a policy in place to handle bullying. Bullying behavior should not be ignored as the behavior can often escalate.

HOW TO
pay for home care
understanding costs can help with decision making As the desire to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option for many, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments and range from $15-$25 per hour. Home healthcare must be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. Prices for home healthcare also range from $15-$25 per hour. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care and home healthcare. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;intermittent skilled care,â&#x20AC;? which includes occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also cover a limited number of skilled home visits. Costs for these services vary greatly depending upon Individuals who meet income requirements coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and pri- may be eligible to receive skilled nursing vate insurance. services through Medicaid.

or Elizabeth Thompson, there was nothing more fulfilling than reaching out to her greater community, whether it was through her teaching or involvement in charitable organizations. Having received her Master’s in Education from the University of Virginia, she taught elementary-age children for several years. Elizabeth said she enjoyed interacting with the young minds and playing a role in the development of their sense of self. Aside from teaching, she was involved with Habitat for Humanity and could often be seen working at food distribution centers for the less fortunate. In her 40 years of marriage, Elizabeth had three children.

Home Car e Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers If facing this choice, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision:
1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or
supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services?
5. Are criminal history background checks,
2. Are social security, federal and state
taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible?
3. Is there verification that the paid
caregivers can legally work in the U.S.?
4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who
7. A ssuming family is not available to

otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?
is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance policies exclude
state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?
6. Is there bonding and insurance in place
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.
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.
Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n
Small valuables Irreplaceable or sentimental items Small family heirlooms

Transportation: After the Car Keys Are Gone By Buckley Kuhn Fricker So now you (or your loved one) find yourself stuck at home. How will you buy groceries? Pick up prescriptions? Visit the mall? Get to the doctor’s office? Transportation is probably the single most important worry faced by those who want to age at home but can no longer drive their own cars. The loss of independence is profound after a lifetime of being able to come and go wherever and whenever you pleased. Enter drivers: City or county-sponsored discounted services; volunteer drivers from community and religious groups; specially-arranged taxi services – and, increasingly, paid private concierge-type services which provide not just driving, but also companion services. The obvious advantage of the city-county provided transportation services is that, like volunteers, their services are free or low cost. A problem with these services is that they are relatively inflexible in terms of both pick-up times and destinations. Certain cab companies offer discounts and speciallytrained drivers whose vehicles have wheelchair ramps (not lifts). You can buy or rent a wheelchair van. Rentals with drivers cost about $90 per hour. Purchasing a wheelchair van can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $45,000, but finding private van drivers can be difficult. Concierge companion services will take you wherever you want to go when you want to go, just as if you were getting into your own car and driving yourself. They will take you to your doctor’s office and even sit in with you if you wish them to take notes. They will take you to your hair appointment. They will take you and your pet to the vet or the groomer. Like you, if you were driving yourself, they will make stops to buy a birthday gift for your niece, visit your favorite deli, and fill your prescriptions, while providing companionship along the way. Concierge companion services, such as those of the company I founded in 2005, are an excellent solution for many clients. Such private companies charge from about $40 to $60 per hour. They are not limited merely to providing driving services directed by the client. They provide services from grocery shopping to locating pet walkers and house cleaners. They can also locate and supervise handymen, plumbers and electricians for home maintenance needs, and offer companion services to accompany you on your walks around the block or to the opera. AAA estimates that driving a typical car an average distance per year costs the driver-owner about $7,823 per year. Older individuals tend to use their cars less frequently and over shorter distances, so let’s reduce that average to $5,000 per year. At $50/hr for driving and companion services by a private concierge, two hours of private driving, errand-running and companionship per week for one year would cost only $5,200. With concierge drivers, you have your own chauffeur for just a little more than you paid when you could still drive yourself in your own car.

y mother needs help but she’s reluctant to let anyone come in. How do I hire the right person? —Isabelle in Montana, 46 Once you reach the decision to hire someone else to help with your elder care challenges, you need to determine the answers to the following questions: • Who is going to pay for the help (you/ your elder/insurance)? • Does the helper take insurance as a form of payment? If so, what insurance? • Should you hire a therapist, and if so, what type(s)? • Does your elder need an aide or companion to live in the home 24/7? • Who pours and dispenses your elder’s medication?
Aides should be hired only to take care of your elder and perform the agreed upon chores directly related to that care. Don’t load them up with extraneous duties, even if you see they’re highly competent, unless of course the aide agrees to it. Then, they should be duly compensated for additional tasks. Also, and this is very important, take the time to make a match. Have the potential helper spend some time with your elder before they’re hired. Hiring an aide really comes down to a matter of time and financial resources. If you and your elder have the financial resources to free up some of your time, I highly recommend hiring help. Even if it’s for just 10 hours a week, you’ll be

amazed at the difference a wellorganized, competent aide can make in your life and the life of your elder. Over the last 35 years, Marion Somers, Ph.D., (Doctor Marion) has worked with thousands of seniors and their caregivers as a geriatric care manager.

HOW TO
assess your home
incorporating home safety and healthcare planning Though everyday activities can become challenging for seniors, the results of a unique home intervention study showed that individualizing home evaluations and involving a patient in decision-making can have a dramatic positive effect on functional abilities. The following interview with Laura N. Gitlin, Ph.D, a research sociologist and professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy and director of the Center for Applied Research on Aging and Health at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia is presented by Philips Lifeline. She has published extensively in gerontology and occupational therapy, on family caregiving, dementia care, physical function, and co-authored numerous books. How does a home safety assess-
ment play into the overall health care planning for an older person and how does it help prevent falls?
An effective home safety assessment plays a critical role in identifying ways to use the environment to support continued participation in an activity and minimize the risk for falls. As people become older and experience difficulties due to chronic illness or health problems, they commonly adapt by changing their behavior. Typically, a person will stop or decrease their participation in an activity that is becoming difficult to perform. But this can have a negative and cascading effect. Decreasing participation in a valued activity may result in less physical activity, isolation and feeling depressed. It is also associated with the risk for falling.
On the flip side, adapting strategies such as modifying the environment or energy conserving techniques such as pacing oneself can enable a person to continue an activity. What modifications to the home safety assessment would you recommend to healthcare professionals who conduct these assessments as part of their treatment plan?
I would say observe a person within the home environment in order to consider the person’s preferred ways of carrying out everyday tasks. For a successful assessment, we have to include a person’s own goals and functional difficulties and make our recommendations without infringing on that person’s personal goal for autonomy.

Some becomes too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing remodeling projects and addressing common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS is that they draw from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized and thor- CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to ough plan.

typical modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites and elevators. CAPS are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aesthetically-pleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was developed by The Remodelers Council of the 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.

finding and evaluating an aging-in-place specialist Compare how much money you have to spend on a remodeling project to the cost of moving for a financial perspective. To find Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists, seek referrals from others who may have had similar work done. Before you commit to a remodeler, verify with your local state office of consumer protection and Better Business Bureau that he/she has the appropriate license(s) in your state. Ask for a writ-
ten estimate of the work your remodeler will perform based on your own specifications. Be firm, but prepared to pay the total amount in full. Finally, select a professional with plenty of experience with your type of project. Remember, the lowest price does not always ensure a successful modeling project and home improvement is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

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

the neighborhood you dream about the village movement is prompting communities to think about creative solutions for aging in place Imagine you are living in a community where you know your neighbors. Imagine that your patio needs weeding, and you prefer not to do it. In this neighborhood, a simple phone call can have someone over to take care of your weeding. Perhaps you need some home repairs, or you are returning home from the hospital after surgery and need some assistance. In this neighborhood, you can get assistance from trusted volunteers and providers with one phone call. This type of neighborhood is becoming a reality, and the Washington, D.C. region is the launching pad for several. How it All Started Nearly 90 percent of Baby Boomers say they want to stay in their homes and close to family and friends as long as possible, according to a survey by AARP. The challenge these individuals face, however, is that if they do nothing to prepare for future needs, they may not be able to continue living in their homes as long as they would like. Residents of Beacon Hill, a downtown Boston neighborhood, responded to the
challenge of staying in their community to offer leaders the opportunity to share by joining their neighbors to take con- resources and connect.

Area Demonstration Projects Showcase Universal Design It is difficult to fully understand and appreciate the function, utility and beauty of Universal Design. Words and pictures cannot replace visiting a home and discovering the benefits of design first hand. However, it can be challenging to schedule visits to a home that is occupied by a resident. Demonstration projects present an opportunity for interested consumers to experience first hand the features and benefits of Universal Design to help implement these concepts in their own space. Innovative Model of Living at Vinson Hall – Mclean, VA
One of the most unique approaches to a demonstration project has been created at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va. Residents of the community worked closely with management and award-winning design expert Moira Leite to create the “apartment of the future.” This model apartment is beautiful and accessible but, through intentional design, assists in prolonging the independence and enhancing the quality of life of the residents. The apartment incorporates features and products that enhance utility, mobility and safety within
the space. It serves as a model apartment for future residents, a prototype for the renovation of existing residents’ apartments and an opportunity for the public to discover improvements they can make to their private residences. Kathy Martin, CEO of Vinson Hall and a retired Navy rear admiral shared, ‘‘This is exciting for us, as well as the community at large. We have an opportunity to enhance living here for our seniors. I believe we have an opportunity to be a model for the community and to partner in outreach.” For more information: www.vinsonhall.org

AARP has joined forces with the District of Columbia’s Office on Aging; renowned designer and architect Michael Graves; Christian Communities Group Homes (CCGH), a service of Episcopal Senior Ministries; Rebuilding Together; and other innovative and visionary collaborators to transform a vacant house into a model universal design home. The finished house will be home to six lowincome seniors and will serve as a model for others in the U.S. and around the world who want to create living spaces that let seniors age in place.

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.

caregiver tips in helping with medicare 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 you want 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-

Take time to nurture your interests and tend to your health. Know the Caregiver’s bill of rights. 6. Beware of Fraud: Identify and report any Medicare fraud, abuse or scams. To be on the lookout, carefully review the ‘Explanation of Benefits’ statements received for all regular Medicare and Part D services. Review bills from all providers to make sure you are paying for only the services or equipment the Medicare beneficiary received. Be careful about giving out any personal information (your own or your loved one’s) to individuals or organizations. There is a helpful section on fraud and specific tips to avoid fraud at www. Medicare.gov.
7. Don’t Overlook Legal Matters: At a certain point, it may be advisable for your loved one to grant you or another family member a Durable Power of Attorney that includes the ability to make decisions relating to your loved one’s healthcare. Discuss who will take on this important responsibility and if there are specific medical preferences or directives that your loved one has requested. You don’t want to make these types of decisions in the middle of a health crisis. Also, make sure your loved one has a Living Will or Advanced Healthcare Directive.

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: â&#x20AC;˘ Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need â&#x20AC;˘ Medical social services â&#x20AC;˘ Certain medical supplies â&#x20AC;˘ 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
become a representative payee
a way to help your loved ones n By Diana Varela, Social Security Administration If a loved one, friend or neighbor receives Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits but is no longer physically or mentally able to take care of his or her financial affairs, you may want to consider becoming a representative payee. Then, you’ll be able to help them with managing their money. Keep in mind that being a representative payee is not the same as having power of attorney. Even if you do have power of attorney, you will need to apply to be a representative payee in order to have the benefit payments made to you on the beneficiary’s behalf. When a person is no longer able to handle his or her own Social Security or SSI benefits, we conduct a careful investigation and appoint a relative, friend or other interested party to serve as the representative payee. This means that if you agree to be
a representative payee and we appoint you, we pay you the person’s benefits to use on his or her behalf. As a representative payee, you would be responsible for using the benefit payments to help meet the basic needs of the beneficiary. Primarily, the funds should be used to provide food, clothing, shelter, utilities and other essential needs for the person eligible for benefits. As a representative payee, you need to be aware of the beneficiary’s needs so you can decide how benefits can best be used. Each year, Social Security will mail you a form to account for the benefits you have received. The quickest and easiest way to complete the form is online, at www.socialsecurity.gov/payee. You can also complete the paper form and return it to Social Security. As a representative payee, you will
also need to tell Social Security about changes that may affect the beneficiary’s eligibility. This includes things like changes in living arrangements, other income and resources. More than seven million people who get Social Security or SSI payments each month have a representative payee because they need help managing their money. By agreeing to serve as a representative payee, you have taken on an important responsibility — one that can make a positive difference in both the beneficiary’s life and your own. Learn more by reading our online booklet, A Guide For Representative Payees, available on our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10076.html or visit www.socialsecurity.gov.

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, I know that usually Medicare covers outpatient mental health services at 60 percent. How does Medicare cover inpatient mental health services? —Sarah
Dear Sarah, Your out-of-pocket costs are the same in a psychiatric hospital as they are in any hospital. Part A covers the cost of your care after you meet the $1,156 deductible in 2012. You can get inpatient mental health care either in psychiatric hospitals (hospitals that only treat mental health patients) or in general hospitals. Your doctor should determine which hospital setting you need. If you receive care in a psychiatric
hospital, Medicare helps pay for up to 190 days of inpatient care in your lifetime. After you have reached that limit, Medicare may help pay for mental health care at a general hospital. If you enter a psychiatric hospital within 60 days of being an inpatient at a different hospital, you are in the same benefit period and do not have to pay the deductible again. A benefit period begins the day you start getting inpatient care and ends when you have been out of the hospital or skilled nursing facility for 60 days in a row. —Marci
Dear Jessica, Maybe. Medicare may cover the full cost of bone mass measurement screenings every two years if your doctor says you are at risk for osteoporosis and one of the following applies: • You are an estrogen-deficient women who is at risk for osteoporosis based on her medical history and other findings • You have vertebral abnormalities that were shown on an x-ray • You have received daily steroid treatments for more than three months • You have hyperparathyroidism • You take an osteoporosis drug Medicare will also cover follow-up Dear Marci, Will Medicare pay for my osteo- measurements or more frequent screenings if your doctor prescribes them. porosis screenings? —Marci —Jessica

HOW TO
fill the gaps in medicare
choosing the right plan and provider for you n By Susan Morisato
M
edicare is a vital part of the health insurance portfolio for millions of Americans. However, beneficiaries must still find ways to pay for the things Medicare doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover, such as deductibles, copays and coinsurance charges. Medicare supplement insurance can help fill these gaps. Selecting a Plan First, identify your needs, and then identify a Medicare supplement plan that will meet them. Consider which of Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deductibles and coinsurance charges are most important for you to cover. In most states, Medicare enrollees may select from any one of 12 standardized Medicare supplement plans approved for sale within their state of residence. Plans start with a basic benefits plan, Plan A, which provides coverage for Part A and Part B coinsurance, and continue up through the comprehensive Plan J, which provides supplemental coverage for nearly all of Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gaps. After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified a plan or two that appear to meet your coverage needs, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to select an insurance provider. Choosing a Medicare Supplement Insurance Provider It is important to investigate the plan

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 re-

ceive 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 espe-
cially 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, in order 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.

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) Cer-
tification; • 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 centers provide nutritious
meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and
from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accessibility for persons in wheelchairs or using walkers. The entire facility should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should Continued on page 242

be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff
members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center proce-
dures, 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.
