Why are your neighbors moving to and
Maris Grove?
For freedom from maintenance. Instead of worrying about home repairs, Sherry is now free to pursue her photography and other passions. She’s an active member of the Ann’s Choice lifelong learning club and pottery club, where she’s learning to make jewelry.
For worry-free living. Anne and Fred traded the hassles of owning a home for worry-free living at Maris Grove. Now, Fred plays tennis and volunteers at the local veteran’s hospital, while Anne enjoys regular walks to the neighboring Brinton Lake Shopping Center.

it For Life” is the slogan that was created to embody the innovative and successful Health and Wellness Program supported by so many Pine Run Villagers. “Fit For Life” stands for Longevity, Independence, Function and Empowerment; these are the cornerstones of the program that is providing residents with new opportunities for personal growth and well-being, under the watchful and creative eyes of Co-Directors of Fitness, Maureen Goldsmith and Carol Nieto, who together bring decades of experience to the program. Village resident, Ginny Cloonan, serves as an “unofficial” personal motivator for Maureen Goldsmith, who readily admits she never expected a Villager to be able to keep up with her, “but Ginny can out plank me any day of the week. She’s incredible!” “People tell me they could never do what I do,” says Ginny, “but I tell them, if I can do it, you can do it. I’m 83 and I’ve raised seven children, but I was never what you’d call ‘athletic.’ The fitness program at Pine Run keeps me motivated, and I’m always surprising myself. It is truly never too late to get started – you just might surprise yourself, like I did!” shares a smiling Ginny. “It’s our ‘golden moment’ when a resident tells us that they see improvement in their stamina and their balance, or when they tell us that they ‘really needed this,’ but just didn’t know it until they started our program,” adds Goldsmith. Betty Brennan is no stranger to Yoga. She had been practicing this ancient art for over three years before moving to Pine Run, but is delighted to be able to choose between Power Yoga, Chair Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Strength & Balance Classes on any given day. “I am learning to relax more easily; I am much more aware of the importance of breathing for my overall wellbeing,” beams Betty. Maintaining the journey takes motivation! “We work hard to create an encouraging atmosphere that fosters fun and camaraderie, and we’ve seen a swell in participation,” notes Goldsmith. “Of course, we begin ‘courting’ new members the day they move into The Village, with letters and personal

We’re not terribly subtle about asking them to participate,” laughs Nieto, “and the members of our Fitness Program are shameless advocates!” “Carol and I have been incorporating team challenges into our seasonal calendar, and the Villagers seem to love it. Last year we created a ‘virtual’ Appalachian Trail walk, and tallied every step of every team member; steps that took them from Maine to Georgia along this famous national hiking trail, some 2,200 miles in all. Last summer we also created our own version of the Olympics, and Rio de Janeiro had nothing on us!” laughs Goldsmith. “Right now we’re playing BINGO,” explains Nieto. “We created cards where each square represents an activity and tempts participants to accomplish a fitness goal such as attending a Tai Chi class or biking one mile, or something as simple as ‘skipping a dessert.’ When a player achieves BINGO their card is entered into a drawing for prizes.” “But our classes are never JUST about playing games,” stresses Goldsmith. “It’s all about setting individual standards of excellence, regardless of your starting point. It’s about realizing your potential, staying motivated and enjoying time spent with friends at the Fitness Center! Without that, people lose interest.” Resident Bob Long has always been an “active-kind-of-guy” and considers himself to be in fairly good shape for a 78 year old, but since joining the “Fit For Life” Program at Pine Run, he’s noticed that his strength and balance are both While looking over her fitness BINGO card, Villager Ginny Cloonan and Fitness Director improving. “When I skip a day or two, Maureen Goldsmith discuss Ginny’s next activities.

unwoody Village offers a wide variety of exceptional living options in a picturesque, wooded setting close to the cultural attractions of Philadelphia. Fourteen acres of our established community have been set aside for our new Penrose Carriage Homes. These spacious homes are designed for discerning adults who want a vibrant lifestyle, as well as the financial benefits and security of life care. The twin-style homes, ranging in size from 2,100 to 4,100 square feet, feature open floor plans, gourmet kitchens, two-car garages, mudrooms, gas cooking and gas fireplaces. A variety of designs, all with two bedrooms, two and one-half baths and dens, as well as covered terraces, may be customized to suit your needs and wishes. High-end finishes such as granite countertops and stainless appliances are standard. Maintenance, landscaping and weekly housekeeping complete the picture. These homes offer single-level living with all the comforts of home but none of the chores! With a forty year tradition of serving seniors, Dunwoody provides the stability of a strong financial position as a notfor-profit community. A selection of three financial options gives you the ability to choose a payment plan that best suits your situation. Life care assures that you have access to Dunwoody’s highly regarded on-site healthcare center at little or no increase in cost, should your needs change. An emergency call system, 24/7 security, and a community-wide generator give you – and your family – valuable peace of mind.

Multiple dining venues mean that you have the choice of restaurant-style waited service, an evening buffet or takeout options.

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

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

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

“We’ve lived, laughed and loved in our home for more than 30 years. I never thought our own bathroom would become the source of such worry. As Bill got older, he had trouble lifting his legs over the sides of the tub, and I was afraid he would fall and hurt himself. That’s when I called P.J. Fitzpatrick Bath Solutions. Their tub to shower conversion along with their safety package, that places handrails and even a seat in the shower, took the worry out of our day. We’re not worried anymore about not being able to stay in the home where we raised our family. Thanks PJ!” — PJ Fitzpatrick Client 50

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

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

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

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

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

such products. As a result, you are more likely to get thorough and unbiased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with a complete plan for obtaining care, transferring assets and carrying out all of the client’s wishes. In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. Be certain to assure yourself that the attorney you choose has such experience and training. Attorneys will ask clients for a great deal of information and will request original documents such as deeds, account statements and insurance policies. It is the attorney’s role to assure that all of the elements of the estate plan are properly handled and
reviewing names on titles, beneficiary designations and other similar information is part of thorough planning. All of the information provided to an attorney is, of course, confidential and may not be disclosed to others without your permission. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), founded in 1987, is a national association of Elder Law Attorneys devoted to the education and training of attorneys who can meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, and who advocate for the needs of such individuals.

Is It Better to Remarry or Just Live Together? n
By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law
Finding love later in life may be unexpected and exciting, but should it lead to marriage? The considerations are much different for an older couple than for a young couple just starting out. Before making this decision, you should consider consulting your elder law attorney to review your situation, including the following: Estate Planning Getting married can have a big effect on your estate plan. Even if you exclude your new spouse in your will, he or she is permitted to take an elective share against your estate (usually one-third). One way to prevent this from happening is to enter into a pre-nuptial agreement before your marriage. Long-term Care A prenuptial agreement usually will not preclude a spouse from being responsible for your long-term care costs. Getting married can affect your eligibility for Medicaid. You may want to consider the purchase of a long-term care insurance Social Security policy which may be a good investment. Many divorced and widowed seniors The Family Home receive Social Security from their former Whether you are getting married or spouses, and remarriage can affect their just living together, you need to think benefits.

HOW TO
sort through items
donating and recycling your belongings
D
onating or giving away household items or recycling them (finding new uses) can be a frustrating and confusing matter. What can you actually give away, and who will take it? This is often the part of the process where people become the most easily bogged down. The following, from Moving On discusses a couple of options when you are sorting through your belongings. Donating and Recycling When people want to donate household items, often the first place they think of is one of the major charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America—and for good reason. These agencies are willing to take many of the things we would like to get rid of and put them to good use by either giving them to the needy or selling them in their thrift shops, with the profits going to support their social services programs. Often these organizations will make it even easier on donors by coming to the home to pick up donated items. And when you give to charitable organizations, your donation is tax deductible. To be considerate when donating, make sure that all clothes are clean and wearable; all appliances are in working order; and anything with multiple pieces, like children’s games or tool sets, have all the parts intact. Exactly which items charities accept varies from organization to organization and from loca-
tion to location, so it’s best to contact theaters, women’s shelters, prisons, hosyour local outlet for specifics. pitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing Some charities post guidelines on homes also often accept donations of furtheir websites for niture and household items they will acgoods.

HOW TO
utilize real estate transactions
transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices Preparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving and setting up a new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing. Step One: Preparing to sell or buy It is important that homeowners select a real estate agent who can meet their distinctive needs. The emergence of specialized real estate designations has made the process of choosing an agent easier. Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES) are licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. After finding a qualified agent, homeContinued on page 63
A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of a home can decrease selling time and increase selling price.

housing preferences of boomers Based on a nationwide survey of recent and prospective home buyers conducted in 2015, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) new study, Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation: How They Compare to Other Home Buyers, discusses how various designs influence the home purchase decision. The study also covers the location, features and size of the homes consumers want, and the influence of certain events and people on the decision to move to another home. “This survey is a great resource for building professionals, as it provides an inside look at the things boomers, and other generations, are looking for in today’s homes,” said Rose Quint, NAHB’s Assistant Vice President for Survey Research, and one of the study’s authors. “As the housing market continues to recover, more consumers are in the position to
L E A S E
purchase a home, and it’s important for builders to have this knowledge about their customers.” Here are some of the findings on what home buyers want: • The majority of all buyers (65%), and boomers in particular (63%), would like to buy a single-family detached home. • Most home buyers (64%) prefer a single-story home, but there is great variation by generation: Millennials (35%), gen X’ers (49%), boomers (75%) and seniors (88%). • Fifty-eight percent of home buyers want a full or partial basement, but the preference declines with age: Millennials (77%), gen X’ers (67%), boomers (50%) and seniors (43%). • When asked if they would buy a home without a living room, 37% of buyers say they would, 42% would not and 21% are not sure. The share of buyers willing to

part with this formal space falls steadily with age: Millennials (43%), gen X (40%), baby boomers (37%) and seniors (26%). And here are some of the findings on what most buyers do not want: • Few buyers (8%) or boomers (7%) prefer a central city location. About twothirds prefer a home in the suburbs (closein or outlying) and just over a quarter prefer a rural area. • Only 14% of buyers overall (and 13% of boomers) are willing to pay more for a home out of pure concern for the environment. Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation is available for purchase ($149.95 retail/$79.95 NAHB member, ISBN 9780-86718-748-9) at BuilderBooks.com or by calling 800-223-2665.

owners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home. Step Two: Packing and sorting Items should be sorted into distinct categories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away. The initial list of items to keep will likely be larger than the new space can accommodate. Moving professionals, however, can
offer advice by taking into account their client’s personal tastes, the financial and sentimental value of possessions, and the new floor plan. Step Three: Moving For many, moving day is simple and rewarding due to comprehensive, customized real estate services provided prior to the sale of the house. On moving day, real estate professionals can recommend trusted companies to help with the physical aspects of moving, while providing assistance with the job of unpacking and setting up the new home.

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

the keys to healthy living By Dr. Vivek Sinha
W n
e hear about “health” all the time. Television, radio, magazine articles, even friends and family have no shortage of tips and advice on how to get healthy. If one were to follow all that advice, then they would be hopping from one fad diet to another, cutting out carbs, sugar and gluten and running from gym to gym wearing nothing but the highest end sport shoes. So what is the safest, most effective way to improve your health? The answer varies by the person; for example, an 85-year-old man will have different needs than a 25-year-old woman. But there are some general points that are applicable across all patients. First, define what “health” means for you. Do you want to reduce or hopefully end your need for blood pressure medications? Do you want to be able to fit into smaller sized jeans? Do you want to keep up with your grandkids or run that 10K? Or do you simply want to feel better and hopefully live longer? After my patient has defined their goal, I usually spend some time obtaining objective data. Height and weight, blood
pressure, heart rate, cholesterol level, sugar level and a detailed medical history are just a few of the data points that physicians use to risk stratify their patients. Occasionally, if a patient’s numbers are very abnormal, they may need intervention (medications, cardiac clearance, etc.) prior to starting exercise. Second, getting healthier takes a planned approach that involves at least one lifestyle change. I usually advise my patients to prepare for a lifestyle change like they are preparing to go into battle. Formulate a game plan, gather your resources and have a start date. Tell your friends, family and coworkers about your plan, so they can keep you honest and motivated. Ideally, find someone to join you — helping someone else is a fantastic way to help yourself. Thirdly, exercise is essential. People may say that if you simply change the way you eat, you will lose weight. But not only will exercise jumpstart that weight loss, it also will help keep the weight off. I advise my patients to get a calendar, and each Sunday, circle the five days of the week when they will work out. They should also weigh themselves each morning and write that number on the corresponding date. One basic rule of exercise: do an activity that makes you sweat and do it for
at least 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, health cannot be achieved without proper nutrition. We need the appropriate fuel to think clearly and function at peak level. One of the worst things that we can do is to skip breakfast. When people skip breakfast, the body has to get its fuel from muscle and not from fat. Six small meals a day maximize your metabolism. I advise patients to eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal. Ultimately, getting healthier is a journey. This journey takes commitment, but you do not have to take it alone. Talk to your doctor. They will provide plenty of practical, personalized advice on getting healthier. By working with your primary care physician, you can reach your goal safely and effectively. Dr. Vivek Sinha is the chief medical officer at Belleview Medical Partners.

resources to meet every need No matter what stage of life you find yourself in or what your age, there is never any reason to face life’s changes and challenges alone. Enlist the help of a professional and get the help you need. Some of the more prominent categories of professionals are detailed below. Aging in Place Solutions Need to update your home to meet your changing needs? Want some help running errands? Have medical needs that require special equipment? There are individuals and businesses available to meet all your needs and allow you to remain safely in your home. Successfully aging in place frequently requires additional assistance from professionals to ensure that all daily needs are met and the home environment remains safe. Assistive Technology In today’s connected world, we are all accustomed to turning to technology for
solutions. Help managing the challenges that come with aging or disability is no different. There are many technologies that can help you with all types of needs—from staying in contact with family to hearing better. Technology professionals can help clients find specific technologies that can improve their living environments and their lifestyles. Downsizing/Moving Solutions Moving is one of life’s most monumental tasks. Add in the fact that many seniors have been in their homes for two, three, or more decades, and moving becomes even more daunting. Whether you need to declutter and downsize in preparation for a move to a retirement community, or just have your home deep cleaned to provide a safer living environment, there are professionals available to help. When it comes time to sell the family home, there are also professionals available to prepare the home
and ensure that you get top market value. Medical Solutions Sometimes medical needs require the help of a specialist or a business that caters to specific conditions or illnesses. Professionals can help you with a wide range of needs—from vision services to hospice care to mental health care and everything in between. Planning Solutions Planning ahead for financial and legal needs is important at every stage of life, but never more so than during retirement. Financial and legal needs frequently become more complex with age. You may need help with tasks ranging from paying bills and managing paperwork to estate planning and managing Medicaid. Professionals are available who specialize in each of these areas and can make meeting your financial and legal needs easy.

Ten Financial Questions for Caregivers Addressing Finances Early On Can Make Caregiving Easier
As the years go by and mom and dad age, life can become complicated. Certain things are practically impossible to prepare for, while others, like finances, can and should be organized and taken care of early on. What do you need to know about your parents’ finances? Kurt Kazanowski, a hospice, homecare and senior care expert, who is the author of, A Son’s Journey: Taking Care of Mom and Dad says children should know the answers to these ten questions when it comes to their parents’ finances.
1. Have they named a durable power of attorney to manage their finances? The first step is to find out if they have named a Durable Power of Attorney (POA). Without a POA in place, you’ll have to go to court to get guardianship of your parents in order to access accounts on their behalf. 2. Where do they keep their financial records? Whether they keep their money and documents in a bank, a safe or under the mattress, you need to know where to find records when you need them. Also find out the location of keys or codes to lock boxes or safes. 3. What are their bank account numbers and names of their financial institutions? In addition to knowing where they keep their money, you need specifics on all account numbers. What banks and mortgage company do they use? Do they have an investment firm? How many credit card accounts do they have and where do they keep their statements? 4. What are your parents’ monthly expenses? Gather information on their mortgage, car payment, credit card debt, electric bills and other expenses.
Caregivers should know where all financial records are kept, including specifics on financial institutions and account numbers.
5. How do they pay their bills? If there are automatic deductions being taken out of a checking account, you need to know about them. Do they use online banking/bill pay or only paper checks? 6. How much is their annual income and where does it come from? Do your parents receive monthly pension checks? Do they have dividends coming in from investments? Do they get money for a disability or alimony? 7. Do they receive Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security? If your parents have become incapacitated, you may have to investigate the status and eligibility for government assistance. 8. What kind of medical health insurance do they have in addition to Medicare? Do they have health insurance provided by an employer? If they are retired, are health benefits included as part of a pension? 9. Do they have long-term care insurance? A “regular” health insurance plan does not cover the cost of assisted living or a nursing home. Did they purchase a long-term care insurance policy to cover the cost of those residences? If not, and they can no longer live on their own, what can they afford in terms of housing? 10. Do they have an accountant or financial planner? Who is it and how do you contact them? Have they done any estate planning? Ask if you can meet with their financial professional with them to discuss their situations. Kurt Kazanowski is an author, speaker, coach and consultant in the areas of aging, hospice and home care. He is a native of Detroit, Michigan, and has over three decades of experience in the field of healthcare. His most recent book, A Son’s Journey: Taking Care of Mom and Dad is about Kurt’s personal journey taking care of his aging parents. For more information, visit asonsjourney.com.

population. A Haven for History and Art The 3,500-acre Valley Forge National Historical Park is the jewel of Montgomery County. Over 2,000 soldiers died at Valley Forge, but no battles were ever fought. In 1777, Gen. George Washington chose to make a winter encampment for his troops in the valley. Safe from attack, the soldiers expected to spend the winter regrouping after several devastating losses. However, no
sooner were Washington’s stone headquarters completed than the troops began to suffer the ravages of hunger and disease, all while battling the assaulting forces of nature. Today, visitors can explore Washington’s restored headquarters and see the National Memorial Arch.

Beaumont and the Wellness Equation

P
eople don’t move to Beaumont at Bryn Mawr just to retire in their comfy chairs. They move to Beaumont because they want to be socially, mentally and physically engaged. Residents get every opportunity, as Beaumont is the only Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in the nation that is cooperatively owned and governed by residents. As a result, residents take a distinctly holistic approach to wellness, connecting the dots between the Wellness and Health Centers, educational and event programming, dining and nutrition, and fitness. Fitness at Beaumont is a key component of the Wellness equation for all residents, whether age 65 or 95. As one resident quipped, “The dining program here is so good that I would really pack on the pounds were it not for our new Fitness Center!” The new, ultra-modern Fitness Center was completely re-built two years ago, featuring a heated pool with a handicap lift, comfortable dressing areas, a gym with state-of-the-art equipment, a roomy group exercise room, and even a massage room. But as with all disciplined regimens, some coaching is required.

Enter Diana DiMeglio, Fitness and Aquatics Coordinator, and coach-in-chief of the fitness program. Diana, a graduate of West Chester University, studied kinesiology (exercise science) and nutrition, and applied herself to working with older adults. Starting as an intern, her career encompasses nearly 10 years in wellness training at a number of retirement communities prior to coming to Beaumont. Said Diana, “Older adults appreciate and realize that exercise is important as preventive medicine, and critical to their overall quality of life.” A recent study by NHIS researchers followed 30,000 older adults over a period of 15 years, and found that those who strength trained twice a week had 46% lower odds of death for any reason than those who did not. They also had 41% lower odds of cardiac arrest and 19% lower odds of dying from cancer. Based on this data and for more practical reasons, Diana incorporates resistance

exercises into her workout programs. “It helps residents manage their daily activities with greater ease, reduces the risk of falls and injuries, and boosts their metabolism to help control age-related weight gain,” she said. Diana takes a personal approach to put leery residents at ease when first coming face-to-face with the exercise equipment. She starts with a one-on-one meeting to begin developing a customized program: she reviews their health history, assesses their ability, and establishes desired goals and outcomes. “No matter their level of fitness or ability, I work with them to develop a program that is best for their overall wellness and moves them toward their goals – whether that is improving their agility, balance and stamina, or just improving their golf swing,” she added. Explained Diana, “I take into account their preferences. Some people hate machines like the treadmill. Because we are fortunate to have the Beaumont Woods with a number of outdoor walking trails, I’ll incorporate that into their program instead.” Additionally, she’ll explain the workings and purpose of each piece of equipment, and offers personal, one-on-one training sessions to get residents started with confidence.
Mrs. Eta Glassman, a resident and regular on the equipment circuit, completes her regimen faithfully each and every morning. “When my husband and I moved to Beaumont a few years ago, my husband had trouble walking and I just wasn’t strong enough to lift his wheelchair in and out of the car. After Diana developed a daily regimen for us, my husband is much stronger and happier. A game-changer for both of us,” she said with a smile, proudly showing off her biceps. Diana has set herself some lofty goals too. She is working on developing educational programming as well as some fun incentive programs with awards as additional motivation. For Active Aging Week, a yearly celebration through the International Council on Active Aging, Diana coordinated multiple events including a Game Day event party with options for playing ping pong, bocce, Wii bowling, badminton, golf putt, bean bag toss, and ladder ball. She also gave a detailed lecture on Fall Prevention in which she discussed muscle balance, posture, and the workings of the vestibular and sensory systems. Together with the Wellness Center, she hopes to develop an ongoing seminar series, inviting physicians and experts to speak on various health and fitness topics. To balance the wellness equation at Beaumont, Diana works closely with the Wellness Center staff, who track residents’ health status and make medical and nutritional recommendations, and Executive Chef John Bauer and staff, who in turn accommodate residents’ dietary needs such as low sodium or gluten-free diets. “Wellness has to include great food – fresh, nutritious and delicious,” said Chef Bauer. “We keep our own vegetable and herb garden and we pride ourselves on serving restaurant-quality meals every day.” Fortunately, Diana is there to watch over residents’ waistlines!
Resident Eta Glassman well into her daily workout routine.
She also offers a number of low-impact group classes designed to build strength and endurance over time, and to introduce camaraderie into the program. A one-hour low-impact water aerobics class works on cardiovascular endurance and strength, using only water as resistance; “Energize with Exercise” builds strength with free weights and machines; “Fit-n-Flex” focuses on flexibility and balance using different sized balls; and her favorite class works every nook and cranny of the body through a workout circuit of 14 different stations.

Many visitors enjoy the park’s bucolic setting as much as its historic significance. Valley Forge features rolling hillsides and sparkling streams. Springtime in the park brings an explosion of blooms, from dogwoods to mountain laurel. In the fall, visitors will delight in the beautiful colors of the season. Trace Washington’s journey to Valley Forge back in time at the Peter Wentz Farmstead, a preserved 18th century German-American family farm. Washington is rumored to have stayed in the farmhouse prior to the battle of Germantown. Washington’s tremendous impact on the region is also apparent at Pennypacker Mills, a fully furnished mansion and one-time headquarters of the General. Move beyond the Revolutionary War and enjoy the region’s art and architecture. Raymond Pitcairn, once a prominent local attorney and deeply religious man, built his dream home in Montgomery County.

he stage lights dim as the sound of something heavy being dragged center stage is heard over a murmuring of voices and the occasional shuffle of a chair. The eyes of those seated in a circle start to adapt to the low light and the silhouette of their director and a lone wooden trunk come into focus. Director Robb Hutter addresses his students, “Improvisation, even for the most highly trained actor, is a difficult task. But, it’s a great exercise for letting go of inhibitions, quickly translating a role and using life’s
experiences to guide dialogue and your reactions to others in the same scene. And did I mention, it’s a lot of fun?” As Robb pauses for a second, you sense the combination of excitement and fear from the students on stage. Some start to rock back and forth in their chairs. Several trade glances at each other. One who appears slightly older than his classmates has a huge smile on his face. His name is Marty, and this is the highlight of his week. Robb continues as the stage lights illuminate, “When I open this trunk lid, I want each of you to come select a single prop and return to your seat. I’ll start by pairing you with

Fellow Shannondell resident and acting classmate Doris agrees, “The last time I was on stage, I was at camp and maybe 15. So, when I approached the director about joining, I was a little apprehensive. (laughs) He cast me in the next show and I’ve never looked back.” She goes on, “Being part of this group has really helped me to feel integrated into this wonderful community we call Shannondell, and it’s also introduced me to delightful new friends.” Says Robb proudly, “My Shannondell actors definitely enjoy class. They love the ability to express anger or passion that, offstage, they simply aren’t comfortable showing in public. And the camaraderie is addictive. Residents are always telling me that acting class is the one class they look forward to most, every week. Performing becomes secondary to the bonds and friendships that develop on stage.” One of the most anticipated performances in the Shannondell Performing Arts Theater every season is the WSDL Good Times Radio Revue, an ongoing production of the Actors’ Studio. “It’s a fun show for the actors and the audience. Both get to relive the golden age of radio with comedic sketches, hit songs and vintage commercials from shows like George and Gracie, Baby Snooks, Father Knows Best and The Inner Sanctum,” states Robb. If reliving the past while forging a new path forward sounds like a paradox to you, know that it’s a welcome script to this expanding group of Shannondell residents in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s. Each is enjoying an inspiring new stage in life – one in the spotlight at Shannondell. Applause, applause!

Montgomery County Spotlight: Bryn Athyn Historic District History at Every Turn
O
nly a mile from the Philadelphia Border, visitors will find a historic district that offers unique insight into the lifestyles and beliefs of the area’s former residents. The Bryn Athyn Historic District is a National Historic Landmark comprised of three family residences and a cathedral. The buildings include Cairnwood, Cairncrest, Glencairn and the Bryn Athyn Cathedral. The buildings were constructed between 1892 and 1938 and are true works of art, from the unique architectural details to the authentic stained glass windows. Bryn Athyn was founded as a religious community by a Christian denomination known as the New Church. The Bryn Athyn Cathedral is still a place of worship for the New Church, but visitors are welcome. Glencairn, once a private residence, is now a museum of religious art and history. Cairnwood serves as an educational, cultural and hospitality center. Tours of both buildings and the cathedral are available on a regular basis. Cairncrest is currently being used as a private office building for the Church and is not open to the public. The Bryn Athyn Cathedral The most notable feature of this Gothic and Romanesque style cathedral is the stained glass windows. As the major benefactor of the project, famous industrialist John Pitcairn and his family helped to shape the vision for the structure. Raymond Pitcairn, John’s son, was also a major player in the construction of the cathedral. In fact, it was Raymond who encouraged the workers and artisans involved in the construction to express their

creativity. That is why the church has so many non-traditional details, as well as a true artistic flair. These craftsmen were dedicated to creating stained glass windows that duplicated those found in medieval European churches. They followed the old techniques of making hand-blown glass in an onsite studio and glass factory. Glencairn Formerly the home of Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn, Glencairn is now a museum of religion, which showcases religious art and artifacts from a variety of cultures and time periods. Pitcairn supervised the construction of Glencairn after the Cathedral, and it was also built in the Gothic and Romanesque style. The Pitcairn family occupied the home until Mildred’s death in 1979. Following her passing, the building and all its contents were donated to the Academy of the New Church. The Academy moved its own collection and combined it with the Pitcairn’s extensive collection of religious art and artifacts to establish the museum that is still in operation today. The museum continues to educate visitors about religious life and experiences through the ages using art.
Together, these unique landmarks make for a very special experience for visitors looking to step back in time—without straying too far from home. tagonal tower with a high-pitched roof, which is home to the family chapel. This chapel is a clear representation of the importance and strength of John Pitcairn’s spiritual beliefs. John lived in his beloved home until his death in 1916. His son Raymond also lived in the home for a short time, as did one of his granddaughters. The home was donated to the Academy of the New Church in 1980 and stood vacant for nearly 15 years before it was opened as a designer show house. The home is now an educational, cultural, and hospitality center. Bryn Athyn Cathedral, Cairnwood Estate and Glencairn Museum all offer tours on a regular basis. Visitors should be sure to call ahead to confirm the availability of guided or self-guided tours. Together, these unique landmarks make for a very special experience for visitors looking to step back in time— without straying too far from home. The world-renowned architecture, as well as the world-class art collections, make Bryn Athyn Historic District well worth a visit.

T
he Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board (VFTCB) is changing the way visitors view Montgomery County attractions. The VFTCB in southeastern Pennsylvania was looking for a new way to showcase Montgomery County attractions for a new generation of visitors who prefer to access information on the go through smart phones and tablets. With the introduction of MontCo 360, potential visitors can now explore 360-degree views of parks, museums, hotels, restaurants, malls and other unique attractions. The partnership with Google combines technologies like Street View and advanced cameras to give visitors a way to walk through interior rooms as well as outdoor landscapes. For the first time, users of the site can now be in total control of viewing where they want to go and what they want to see before they step foot in Montgomery County. The VFTCB is the first in the region to use Google’s services to this extent. “The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words no longer applies to modern digital marketing,” explained Edward Harris, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for VFTCB. “Today, people want to see and experience more when they visit a website. With MontCo360.net, we’re offering over 30 virtual tours to enable visitors to walk through and explore a handful of our most popular attractions before they arrive in person.” A nontraditional vantage point created by drones brings users above the rooftops of the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, Peter Wentz Farmstead in Worcester and the Philadelphia Premium Outlets in Limerick. The county’s magnificent open spaces are also presented from great heights, with views of Green Lane Park and the Germantown Academy athletic fields.
The National Memorial Arch at Valley Forge was constructed in 1914 to honor George Washington and his troops, who endured bitter winter months here during the American Revolution.
The VFTCB’s name may reflect Valley Forge, but its marketing scope covers all 487 square miles of Montgomery County, a region whose landscapes range from bustling urban centers to wide open natural vistas. As a center for history, art, culture, shopping, familyfriendly activities, a vivid dining scene, an appealing brewery/winery vibe and a host of well-appointed hotels, the county was the perfect setting for an all-encompassing approach to attracting visitors. When exploring the King of Prussia Mall on MontCo 360, visitors can step inside the tech-savvy Tesla Motors store and experience what it’s like to sit in the driver’s seat of one of their premium electric cars. Parents looking for a place to take their kids to unwind can click on Arnold’s Family Fun Center located in Oaks, Pa., and click to walk through the massive arcade and see the bowling alley and indoor go-kart tracks. There are also plenty of hotels and restaurants to explore as well as Manatawny Still Works, a popular distillery located in Pottstown, Pa. that you can tour virtually before you arrive.

For history buffs, MontCo 360 showcases places like Valley Forge National Historical Park. Clicking your mouse or using your finger - over the screen whirls the landscape and opens the viewer to the beautiful trees, fields of waving grass, statuary and honorifics associated with a key Revolutionary War location. One of the highlights of touring the park using MontCo 360 is the opportunity to navigate the museum of Continental Army artifacts within the Visitor Center, which displays the treasures in an interactive way. Montco 360 is available at the VFTCB website: valleyforge.org. Photography on the site is constantly being refreshed and new attractions are being uploaded. The Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board is a nonprofit, membershipbased sales and marketing organization that actively promotes the Valley Forge area and Montgomery County, Pa., as a convention site and leisure visitor destination. More information is available at valleyforge.org.

Supportive Living & Memory Care
What will your story be?
Resident Barbara Serafin and her husband Dick
The decision to place a loved one in memory care was a difficult one... We anticipated the time would come, so we started looking around at the options. What we found was shocking; there were more places that we absolutely did NOT want for my wife than there were places we felt comfortable with. From the minute we walked in, we knew this was something special...One of the biggest attractions for us was the separate floors for residents at different stages of dementia.
Barb has been a first class wife and mother; she deserved a first class place to live. Our experiences have been nothing but positive. The care is superior and my wife has more of a social life now then she did at home. It makes me happy when I know she is keeping busy with her new friends. Our family has been so pleased we referred a friend. That is the ultimate testament to how we feel. We know she is safe, eating well, getting her medicine on time, and loved by the staff and her new friends. All those reasons give us peace of mind that we chose the right place. There simply is no better option! — Dick Serafin and Daughters

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

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

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

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

HOW TO
understand entrance fees
knowing the options when paying for ccrcs Most CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death.
The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen and agreement type. 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 partially refundable or refundable on a declining basis. Excerpt from Consumer Guide to Understanding Financial Performance and Reporting: Enhancing People’s Lives in Continuing Care Retirement Communities.

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

1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. Understand which services are covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services. Understand how they charge for specialized programming and activities. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a CCRC contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit CCRCs offer benevFALL 2016

olence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources. “Say someone has lived in the community for 15–20 years and now she cannot afford to pay at that higher level—this program subsidizes her as she continues to live at the same level,” says Herrera. 6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.” 7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with
children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 8. Explore, visit, ask questions, repeat. “We want [potential residents] to make the right decision,” says Ogus. “We want them to choose us, but we’d rather them not choose us if it’s not the right decision for them. An unhappy resident can spoil it for the rest of the community. It should be a lifestyle decision, not a sentence.”

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

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

access benefits for veterans
help is available for service members
I
ndividuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans.
Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care.
The VA’s enrollment system is based Veterans who enlisted after September on priority groups. Congress determines 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous the VA’s funding annually, which impacts months or the full period for which they the number of Veterans were called.

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

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

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

WHAT DOES
COMMUNITY MEAN TO YOU?
COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS “PEOPLE WITH COMMON INTERESTS LIVING TOGETHER.”
We believe those common interests include security, comfort and socialization with peers. Visit our community and see how much you have in common with our residents. call today for your personal tour! 814-634-0567 www.rarl-bgf.org

HOW TO
pay for assisted living/personal care
know your options when paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs.
Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living/personal care costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.
Area Agencies on Aging can provide information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs for assisted living/personal care.
10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living/Personal Care Facility 1. M ake an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions.
4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman who serves as an advocate for assisted living/personal care and nursing home residents.
7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility.
8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate or move to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee. Ask what additional charges apply for services/products.
10. Choose the facility that comes closest to your needs. From The Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a national consumer education and advocacy organization. Visit www.ccal.org for more information. 130

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

should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit. Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They may be able to
provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety.

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

care contributors sacrifice own care new report shows financial burden of caring for people with alzheimer’s disease The personal financial support required by a person with Alzheimer’s disease may ultimately deprive care contributors of basic necessities, such as food, transportation and medical care, according to the 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report. Alzheimer’s Association’s Facts and Figures shows that these care contributors were 28 percent more likely to eat less or go hungry while contributing care to someone with Alzheimer’s, and one-fifth of them sacrificed their own medical care by cutting back on doctor visits. Overall, nearly half of care contributors cut back on their own expenses to afford dementia-related care for their family member or friend. Today it is estimated that 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, and nearly 16 million family members
and friends are caregivers providing financial, physical and emotional support. On average, care contributors, many of whom do not live with the person they’re caring for, spent more than $5,000 a year of their own money to care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease. The financial burden of dementia is compounded for many care contributors, as more than one-third reported having to reduce their hours at work or quit their job entirely while caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, leading to an average loss of income of around $15,000 compared to the previous year. To help care contributors financially plan for the future, the Alzheimer’s Association suggests the following: • Look at retirement planning as a time to think about how to prepare for the need for long-term medical care. After
an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, your options may be more limited. • Conduct an inventory of your financial resources. A financial planner or elder care attorney can help with this. • Investigate long-term care services (for example, home care, assisted living residences and nursing homes) in your area. Ask what types of insurance they accept and if they accept Medicaid as few individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias have sufficient long-term care insurance or can afford to pay out-ofpocket for long-term care services for as long as they are needed. • Call the local Agency on Aging to determine what community services and support programs are available. For more information, visit alz.org or call 800-272-3900.

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

Care n Be available the entire day of admisBefore choosing a home, contact the sion to help settle the resident and provide Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program support.

HOW TO
remain at home
receive assistance while enjoying the comforts of home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services—from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions.
HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services.

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

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

HOW TO
prevent falls
accidents can be serious for seniors
A
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Common injuries from falls include hip fractures and head traumas. For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life threatening injuries. Even if a fall does not result in an injury, it will likely leave the senior feeling scared and may lead to a gradual limiting of activities. Fear, combined with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, will only increase the risk of a fall in the future. National and local community and non-profit organizations are working with seniors and their families to help decrease the risk of falls and lessen the impact of falls after they occur. These organizations provide information and services that may help improve the quality of life of seniors. Understanding the Risks On both a national and a local level, the risk of falls is one of the largest, preventable medical challenges that seniors face. The statistics on falls and the injuries they cause are alarming. For instance: • In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries, according to the CDC. • The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade (CDC). • In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billion—$179 million for fatal falls and $19 billion for nonfatal fall injuries. This equals $28.2 billion in 2010 dollars (CDC). Injuries from a fall can range from minor to severe, but the risk of serious injury is much greater among the senior

adult population. For many seniors, falls are the initial injury in what becomes a long hospitalization and recovery process. For others, falls may result in a loss of independence, or in the most severe cases, a loss of life. Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; weightbearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at

least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improvement all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options. Resources The CDC is partnering with several other government agencies to promote a national action plan to prevent falls, which includes research, state grant funding, evaluation projects and information projects. Education efforts have included the development of brochures, posters and a pocket guide for physicians. Information adapted from the Centers for Disease Control.

to be terminally ill for a health care proxy to go into effect. If you do not appoint a health care proxy and cannot make health care decisions, state law determines who can make decisions on your behalf. Most states have laws that let close family members and others (surrogates) act on your behalf if you haven’t appointed a health care agent, but you may not want these people to make decisions for you. As long as you give your agent permission, they will usually have the flexibility to make most treatment decisions for you and access your medical records. When choosing a health care agent, it’s important to appoint someone: • Who you trust. • Who knows you well and understands your medical preferences. • Who will be assertive in making decisions. 168

• Who will honor your wishes. Things you should discuss with your health care agent: • Personal attitudes towards health, illness, dying, and death, • Religious beliefs, • Feelings about doctors and other caregivers, • Feelings about palliative care versus life-sustaining treatments like artificial nutrition and hydration, and • Treatment preference if you are unconscious for a long time and not expected to recover. If there is no one you trust to make health care decisions for you, you don’t have to name anyone as your agent. You can instead create a living will to advise your doctors about your preferences. A health care proxy generally only gives your agent the power to make medical decisions for you. Decisions about things such as health insurance may be considered a financial, not medical, decision

depending on state law. It’s generally best to consult with a lawyer to appoint a power of attorney for those types of decisions. You don’t need a lawyer to write a health care proxy. You can use a standardized form and tailor it to your needs, but make sure that it meets all of your state’s legal requirements. Discuss the document with your health care agent and your loved ones. Give a copy of the document to your health care agent and to your providers. These conversations can be difficult, but creating a health care proxy can help individuals be prepared for different health care situations. —Marci Marci’s Medicare Answers is a service of the Medicare Rights Center (www.medicarerights.org), the nation’s largest independent source of information and assistance for people with Medicare.

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

R e a l-L i f e Story
T
he catch phrase says it all. Adult children who are caring for their parents while also raising their own family are known as “the sandwich generation.” These caregivers find themselves pulled in many directions – caring for a parent, raising their children, keeping their marriage healthy and often holding down a job as well. On top of all this, adult caregivers are thrust into the awkward and often unwanted position of feeling like they’re parenting their own parents. “It can be unsettling to find yourself in this role,” says Richard Bitner of Visiting Angels, a national network of franchised non-medical senior homecare agencies. He points out that this reversal in the parenting role can give rise to stress for both parents and caregivers. A recent survey by the National Alliance for Caregiving and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) found that an estimated 22.4 million U.S. households – nearly one in four – are providing care to someone age 50 or older or have provided care during the previous 12 months. As these caregivers have discovered, it takes a lot of time, energy and patience to care for an aging loved one, and often it can seem like all of these attributes are in short supply. It’s not surprising, then, that guilt coupled with
The Staff of Visiting Angels
resentment are prevalent emotions among caregivers. “Caregivers’ lives have been turned upside down,” says Bitner. “Despite the fact that they love their parents, caring for a parent is a big responsibility that affects the whole family.” Plans for the immediate future go out the window. Schedules that were already jam-packed and complicated need to be reworked. Children may resent the new demands on their parents’ time and attention. With all these added stressors, experts emphasize the importance of caretakers looking after their own physical and emotional health. “You can’t take care of someone else without taking care of yourself first,” agrees Bitner. This involves getting help from
others, whether it be from siblings, a support group or a health care service. The staff at Visiting Angels understands this need. The company provides non-medical caregivers who go into clients’ homes to offer companionship, do light housekeeping, run errands, prepare meals or do shopping – all services that can provide a respite for families dealing with the care of a loved one. “You can be confident that your caregiver is qualified and has excellent references,” says Bitner. The company hires only experienced caregivers who pass a rigorous screening process. They also look for intangible traits such as a caring personality. Many of the company’s caregivers are former hospital staffers looking for the opportunity to do one-on-one personal care. “We work with each family to develop an individualized program to manage the daily needs of the client and then match those needs to the best possible caregiver,” explains Bitner. Caregivers are then introduced to the family, who has the final say in the selection process. Once the caregiver has been placed in the home, Visiting Angels continues its personalized contact through telephone check-ins and home visits to make sure the match is a good one.

that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages related to the caregiver(s)
working in the home.
7. A ssuming family is not available to
supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services? If the adult caregiver does not have the time or resources available to answer these important questions, the services of a professional home care agency or adult day care center may be the right solution.
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

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