fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death.

Full refunds offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are partially refundable or refundable on a declining basis.

Elder Law Providers 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

A Life to Love

ove is a force that is forever on the side of those willing to open their hearts, overcome fear and climb in the proverbial convertible for a spirited ride together. Linda and Joe Hartman, who recently moved to Pine Run, braved a blind date almost 20 years ago. The new couple quickly found they were worthy partners for starting anew in a mid-life marriage. “We had both lost our spouses to illness, and our children were grown and settling in far-flung places such as Colorado and Idaho,” said Linda. “After a time of recovering from what life threw our way, we emerged, still scared, but bold enough to start dancing with the future again.” “I had lived in Hawaii previously, and so after we were married here in Horsham, we took off and traveled to all of the Hawaiian islands on our honeymoon cruise,” recalled Joe. “We were eager to share the sites of the world together. Over many years, we have had wonderful trips to the Baltics, Italy, France and other destinations abroad.” “It was challenging for me to open the door to new experiences with Joe,” expressed Linda. “I had been playing it safe, taking one step at a time, taking refuge in my marketing and
real estate career, along with an entrepreneurial housecleaning business, when I realized I wanted to plunge into new things again.” Embracing her adventurous side, Linda started taking ski lessons at age 54, so the couple could fully enjoy ski trips to British Columbia and Vermont. Linda noted, “We skied up until only a few years ago, and now we enjoy other fitness pursuits offered right here on campus.” In fact, the Hartmans are extremely active and take full advantage of the amenities offered at Pine Run. Joe, mindful of heart health, dedicates 300 minutes a week to working out. Joe and Linda both treat themselves to Tai Chi and yoga classes. Beyond their more far-flung adventures, Joe’s family also enjoyed skiing closer to home in the Poconos. A getaway cabin Joe built on 50 acres in Whitehaven was a treasured spot for many gatherings. The couple even lived there while they were waiting for their home to built in Legacy Oaks, a nearby active adult community. “We ‘camped out’ in the cabin for a year while we waited for our home in Legacy Oaks to be built,” recalled Linda. “My camera captured a scary scene of a hulking black bear invading our deck
Joe and Linda Hartman’s romance began on a blind date and has led to countless adventures.

one day. He seemed to be after the birdseed, but unbeknownst to me, Joe had whet his appetite by tossing our leftover pork chops out in the yard!” Joe added, “Fortunately, I scared him away with a few hunting rifle shots in the air.” Content with their memories of novel adventures, Linda and Joe decided they were ready to transition to a more secure environment. Linda said it took them “about 10 minutes” to settle into life at Pine Run. The Hartmans are continually amazed at how accommodating the associates at Pine Run are in every department. “We could adopt any number of the friendly staff we connect with on a daily basis, and my daughters were blown away by the bed and breakfast on campus,” noted Joe. retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990

“The tipping point for choosing Pine Run was the ownership by Doylestown Hospital. Also, knowing the women [Village Improvement Association – VIA] were running the show was especially comforting. We feel secure in having emergency care on-site, if needed, by folks who will know us.” Linda added, “Our new neighbors are great, and we love the flexible dining plan. Our guests delight in experiencing first-hand how everything is first class at Pine Run.” Joe and Linda Hartman found love later in life. They enjoyed many exciting adventures together through the years. Now, they are thrilled to have found a lifestyle that is both enriching and secure at Pine Run Retirement Community. The Hartmans look forward to many more years of a life they love.

Friends You Can Only Find Here
O
n tours of Dunwoody Village, visitors often remark that it just “feels different” from other communities. That’s because our residents are warm and welcoming, and our employees are gracious and helpful. And it’s not just for show—the more time residents spend here, the more they come to see that friendliness, openness and inclusivity are an intrinsic part of the Dunwoody culture. That starts the moment people walk through the front door. Often, the first person they’ll encounter is Peggy Bodkin, who has worked at Dunwoody for 37 years, most recently at the reception desk. “Dunwoody Village is a wonderful, pleasant place to work. Everybody is kind and has a story to tell,” Peggy says. In fact, she feels so at home that she herself will be moving in over the coming year, as she downsizes from a 6-acre farm. Once prospective residents sign on, a 29-member Hospitality Committee greets them. “I was impressed with the work of the Hospitality Committee when I first arrived. It meant so much to me that I offered to join and ended up becoming committee chair,” says Anne Harrison. “I make an initial welcoming visit to new residents in their homes and then introduce newcomers at the resident meeting. Committee members reach out over the course of the first year to invite the new residents to dinner, and we have a lovely meal for all the newcomers at the end of the year,” Anne continues. “Never in my life have I enjoyed a volunteer job quite so much— the committee is great to work with, and I love that we are continuing this important tradition of making people feel at home.” Some residents arrive already knowing friends or having connections in the Village, which fosters a sense of familiarity.
“There are no cliques here at all, which is extraordinary.” —Fran Northrup, Dunwoody Village Resident
Others find that Dunwoody offers a refreshing sense of change— with new friends who have an array of diverse backgrounds and experiences that make the daily social exchange richly rewarding. No matter how they come to Dunwoody, all residents quickly make friends. “Almost every evening we dine with different people,” says Diane Ladner, who moved into a Penrose Carriage Home last year. “Or we call up someone to come attend one of the excellent programs, such as recently when we had David Kim, the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Concert Master here, giving a concert. It’s a fascinating mix of people who have done very interesting things with their lives.” The convivial atmosphere is apparent to everyone who lives at Dunwoody, including resident Fran Northrup who visited 14 communities before choosing Dunwoody Village as her new home. “There are no cliques here at all, which is extraordinary,” she says. “Because of the camaraderie and support at Dunwoody, people in the art studio encouraged me to learn oil painting. That camaraderie and support makes Dunwoody Village a very rewarding place to be.”
At Dunwoody Village, the residents are warm and welcoming, and the employees are gracious and helpful—creating a convivial atmosphere that is immediately apparent.

Feature Story
Mental Stimulation and Its Health Benefits for Seniors
At Wesley Enhanced Living, you’ll find friends who become family!
A
s aches and pains take over the body and demands of work and personal responsibilities slow down, it can be easy for aging individuals to fall into a routine of isolation and immobility. Regular TV programming is easy to rely on for entertainment, but can often lead to health problems and loneliness. If you worry about the amount of mental stimulation you or your loved one is receiving while living independently, consider a move to a retirement community. A group of peers, helpful staff, and regularly scheduled activities—beyond channelsurfing or reading—will ensure that older adults will continue to live full and balanced lives. Benefits of Mental Stimulation in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC): The benefits don’t end at having more fun and enjoying new experiences. The following health benefits have been connected to the regular social and mental stimulation a senior living community can provide: 1. Independence: There is a sense of independence and purpose that is accompanied by having a full calendar. If you have options each week to keep stimulated, you will focus on the positive aspects of your life and may feel a sense of accomplishment and independence. Communities offer plenty of options to keep you comfortable, from daily activities to weekly events. You or your loved one will be able to take part in as much or as little as desired. retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
Finding friends with similar interests makes it easier to get motivated to exercise and will help improve your mental and physical well being.
2. Meaningful Connections: Relationships with TV characters can be strong, but they can’t be reciprocated. Having a network of peers who can share different experiences and are going through similar situations will make life much more enjoyable. Friendships will help you or your aging parent feel confident and supported in their daily life. Sharing a laugh, enjoying a meal and experiencing new things with friends can yield innumerable benefits for the body and mind. 3. Physical Exercise: Isolation often leads to lethargy, and it can be difficult to motivate yourself to get moving. Group activities, scheduled outings and easily accessible facilities means that you or your loved one will enjoy better physical health at a senior living community. Regular exercise will increase strength, enhance mood, and improve overall wellbeing. That means more energy and better health! Want to learn more about the social, emotional, and health benefits of living in a retirement community?

Beaumont at Bryn Mawr: Music to Their Ears

W
hen Marvin Weisbord and his wife Dorothy moved to Beaumont at Bryn Mawr in 2014, he brought with him his passion for music. With it came the weekly jam sessions with the 10 or so members of his Wynlyn Jazz Ensemble, and numerous scheduled and impromptu performances of their trademark “Great American Songbook” repertoire. If a resident at Beaumont, like Marvin, has a particular interest or passion, and if it resonates with and would benefit the community at large, it is quickly promoted to the community calendar. Beaumont is unique in that it is owned and governed by residents, and residents collectively inform all aspects of community life – including the scale and scope of cultural, educational, entertainment, and social events. Beaumont features musical events for a number of reasons. They engage residents very differently from, for example, the ongoing Speaker Series or the mini-courses and classes. Music is inclusive and accessible to everyone. Music elicits emotion, and emotion sparks memories of specific places and times. Play Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye or

Over the Rainbow, and even residents with varying degrees of memory loss have the ability to remember the lyrics and melodies, and to conjure up the sights, smells, and emotions of listening to those songs long ago. In a recent study, Dr. Jane Flinn, a neuroscientist and researcher at George Mason University, concluded that music and singing appear to allow older adults to activate the brain and retrieve old memories in ways that bypass the hippocampus – the area of the brain most affected by dementia, including Alzheimer’s. Studies at Johns Hopkins also have shown that both music-listening and musicmaking have a profound and positive influence on older adults’ perceptions about the quality of their lives.
800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
That explains why Marvin’s passion was a perfect fit – and a hit. Begun as an experiment, the jam sessions took off after he invited the band to play one Saturday evening in the Beaumont Bistro. He referred to the event as “The Supper Club,” evoking images of Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby films to announce the program. Residents flocked to hear songs from the golden age of Hollywood and Broadway.
in the large Beaumont Room. Five principal musicians from the orchestra spoke in turn about their instruments (including one famous Stradivarius violin); when and where they were made; their history; notable musicians and performances over the ages; and how they create an astounding range of sounds. Afterward, the five musicians joined to perform one of Richard Strauss’ “tone poems” for chamber orchestra, Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks, to illustrate how, together, their instruments are able to tell a complete story. As the audience filed out, Marvin was elated. “I looked around the crowd and people were fascinated. A perfect way to make music accessible to everyone. It answered questions we all have about instruments and making music. I myself took piano lessons when I was young without much conviction or appreciation. It wasn’t until I was 70 that I started to take serious lessons with professional jazz players, and now, at 86, I can’t imagine my life without music.”
Jennifer Montone, Principal Horn of The Philadelphia Orchestra, introduces her fellow chamber musicians. Photo: J. Kolbe
“It took me months to realize something important was happening,” recalled Marvin one afternoon. “I am not a professional entertainer. My friends and I in the Wynlyn Jazz Ensemble play these well-known tunes for the sheer joy of it. It doesn’t matter how perfect or polished our renditions are, I see new friends and neighbors tapping their feet and mouthing the words. And we end our performances with a sing-along to make sure everyone gets into the act.” Musical tastes and interests vary, however. Beaumont is fortunate to be located on the Main Line, with easy access to central Philadelphia and one of its cultural gems: the worldrenowned Philadelphia Orchestra. Many residents are long-time subscribers and supporters, and the Beaumont bus provides regular transportation during the concert season.
To incorporate music into everyday life at Beaumont, residents of all backgrounds and abilities are invited to join the Beaumont Singers, the in-house choral group. Soloists and featured performers from Astral Artists, a Philadelphia nonprofit mentoring program for young, promising classical musicians, are presented on a monthly basis. Simulcasts of the Metropolitan Opera are screened in the theater every first-Saturday. Marvin summed it up: “I’m grateful for all the cultural and educational opportunities here at Beaumont. But especially for our little musical oasis that draws together friends, neighbors and family. It is also, on special evenings when I and the band find our groove, a place where – with a little help from George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers and Larry Hart – we access our youth, and know again the precious moments of sadness and joy that define our lives.”
A few residents and season ticket holders recently had a brainstorm: Can we bring members of the orchestra to Beaumont to tell us more about the individual “voices” of the orchestra, how the instruments are played and the sounds are produced at the hands of virtuoso musicians? A novel concept was born. In typical Beaumont fashion, they proposed it to The Philadelphia Orchestra, and worked with key administrators and musicians to bring an epic musical event into being. On a Sunday afternoon in late October, invited guests and prospective residents from Beaumont’s “Future Residents Club” joined 200-plus residents

Many People Have a Strong Bond With Their Primary Care Physician It may be easy to go to an urgent care center or a retail health clinic when we’re feeling sick. But neither one can replace the more personalized care we get from a primary care physician (PCP). That’s the conclusion of a study conducted earlier this year by the Harris Poll on behalf of Mercy Health System of Southeastern Pennsylvania. The survey asked more than 1,700 U.S. adults about their relationship with their PCP and if they had recently been treated someplace other than their doctor’s office—such as an urgent care center—for a health problem. Among the survey results: • Nearly 6 in 10 (59 percent) of the respondents believed their PCPs care about them. • Nearly half (49 percent) believed
their PCP knows them personally. • Three out of four respondents (75 percent) knew the name of their PCP. In contrast, very few knew the name of a care provider who most recently treated them at a retail health clinic (15 percent), urgent care center (12 percent) or free clinic (8 percent). Although the study respondents did value their time with their PCP, many would go to an urgent care center if, for instance, it was too much hassle to make an appointment with their PCP or if their actual PCP wasn’t always available when they came in for an appointment. “We did the study because we wanted to enhance our understanding of the dynamics that affect interactions between patients and their PCPs,” says William J. Strimel, DO, President, Mercy Physician
Nearly 6 in 10 (59 percent) of the respondents believed their PCPs care about them. Network. “Urgent care centers and retail health clinics provide needed care for minor health problems in the evening or on the weekends, when it’s not possible to see a PCP. But they aren’t a substitute for the type of continuous medical care that a PCP provides. In other words, having a personal connection with your PCP matters.” To find a Mercy Physician Network doctor near you, call 1.877.GO MERCY or visit mercyhealth.org/find-a-doctor/

It’s a Test You Don’t Want to Miss Why you should be screened for colorectal cancer Screening for colorectal cancer gives you the rare opportunity to undergo a test that can actually prevent cancer. “Colorectal screening tests can detect colon polyps at an early stage, before they develop into colon cancer, and in many instances can prevent colon cancer entirely,” says Mark S. Codella, MD, a gastroenterologist at Nazareth Hospital. Precancerous polyps of the colon can be removed during a colonoscopy, preventing further progression to an advanced cancer. Whichever colorectal screening test you choose, you should have it when you turn 50. African Americans should be screened at age 45, while other high-risk patients may require even earlier screening. Talk with your doctor about which of these common tests is right for you and how often you should be tested:
Colonoscopy. Dr. Codella calls this test “the gold standard” because it is the best test for finding and removing polyps from the entire colon. Its main downside is the prep work you must do to empty your bowel before the test, though the prep is a lot easier now than in the past. Flexible sigmoidoscopy. Although similar to a colonoscopy, this test can only examine the inside of the lower colon, which means it could miss polyps on the right side of the colon. You still have to do the bowel prep work, and if a polyp or cancer is found, you’ll need a full colonoscopy. FIT test. This test detects blood in your stool, a possible sign of cancer. You can do the test at home. You place a tiny amount of stool in a vial or on a card using a small stick or probe, and you mail the sample to our lab. If results are posi-

“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.

Understand Estate Planning Elder law attorneys can help Estate 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 an individual’s lifetime and for decisionmaking 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 considered. 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 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.

Find an Elder Law Attorney Utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela. org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www. nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. 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 attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to in-

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

The Many Benefits of Adult Family Mediation 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 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.

Estate planning ... Continued from page 53 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. They may recommend accounting services, financial planners or insurance purchases, but they do not earn their fees by selling 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.
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.
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.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late to Execute a Power of Attorney By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law A durable power of attorney is an extremely important estate planning tool, often more important than a will. If you become incapacitated due to dementia or some other reason, this crucial document allows a person you appoint (your “attorney-in-fact” or “agent”) to act in place of you (the “principal” ) for financial purposes. The agent under the power of attorney can quickly step in and take care of your affairs. But in order to execute a power of attorney and name an agent to stand in your shoes, you need to have capacity. Regrettably, many people delay completing this vital estate planning step until it’s too late and they no longer are legally capable of doing it. What happens then? Without a durable power of attorney, no one can represent you unless a court appoints a guardian. That court process takes time and costs money, and the judge may not choose the person you would prefer. In addition, under a guardianship, the guardian may have to seek court permission to take planning steps that he or she could have implemented immediately under a simple durable power of attorney. It is up to you who you appoint as your agent. Some persons who come to mine are your spouse, a child, another relative, or a close friend. Remember the person you choose will have substantial power
over your financial and legal affairs. Therefore, it is important that your agent be responsible and trustworthy. Because you need a third party to assess capacity and because you need to be certain that the formal legal require-

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

Sort Through Items Donating and recycling your belongings Donating 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 location to location, so it’s best to contact your local outlet for specifics. Some charities post guidelines on

Most charities accept clothing of all types and shoes for men, women and children, as well as costume jewelry and accessories; appliances in working order and household items; televisions, stereos and computers; books, toys and games; and sporting goods. Most do not accept broken appliances, water beds, furniture in bad repair, magazines or old encyclopedias, bathroom fixtures such as toilets or sinks, tires, paint, swing sets, water heaters, windows or doors. Household items can also be donated to smaller or locally based charities, such as veterans’ associations, churches and synagogues, children’s charities, and programs for the elderly. Community
theaters, women’s shelters, prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes also often accept donations of furniture and household goods. You might also inquire at local schools, preschools, day-care centers, art schools, and after-school programs to see if they could use toys, games, books, desks, art supplies or musical instruments. The following are among the many household items charities and companies may accept: furniture; clothing; computers; cell phones; medical supplies; books; and odds and ends such as fabric, wood, leftover tile or paint.

Housing Preferences of Boomers Based on a nationwide survey of recent and prospective home buyers conducted in 2015, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) new study, Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation: How They Compare to Other Home Buyers, discusses how various designs influence the home purchase decision. The study also covers the location, features and size of the homes consumers want, and the influence of certain events and people on the decision to move to another home. “This survey is a great resource for building professionals, as it provides an inside look at the things boomers, and other generations, are looking for in today’s homes,” said Rose Quint, NAHB’s Assistant Vice President for Survey Research, and one of the study’s authors. “As the housing market continues to recover, more consumers are in the position to purchase a home, and it’s important for builders to have this knowledge about their customers.” Here are some of the findings on what home buyers want: • The majority of all buyers (65%), and boomers in particular (63%), would like to buy a single-family detached home. • Most home buyers (64%) prefer a single-story home, but there is great
variation by generation: Millennials (35%), gen X’ers (49%), boomers (75%) and seniors (88%). • Fifty-eight percent of home buyers want a full or partial basement, but the preference declines with age: Millennials (77%), gen X’ers (67%), boomers (50%) and seniors (43%). • When asked if they would buy a home without a living room, 37% of buyers say they would, 42% would not and 21% are not sure. The share of buyers willing to part with this formal space falls steadily with age: Millennials (43%), gen X (40%), 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 two-thirds prefer a home in the suburbs (close-in or outlying) and just over a quarter prefer a rural area. • Only 14% of buyers overall (and 13% of boomers) are willing to pay more for a home out of pure concern for the environment. Housing Preferences of the Boomer Generation is available for purchase ($149.95 retail/$79.95 NAHB member, ISBN 978-086718-748-9) at BuilderBooks.com or by calling 800-223-2665.

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

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 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Additional information, as well as the full code, is available on ALCA’s website: aginglifecare.org.
THE CODE OF ETHICS PROVIDES: Accountability to our Clients ALCA members recognize diversity in our society and embrace a multi-cultural approach to support the worth, dignity, potential and uniqueness of each client.

Education of Aging Life Care Professionals ALCA recognizes the diversity of the experience and education of its members and the needs of members for guidance in both their professional and business roles, and thus the Code of Ethics was developed to guide members in each of these roles. A Framework for Analyzing & Resolving Ethical Dilemmas The Code of Ethics offers a framework for ethical decisionmaking when conflicts arise in either the practice or the business of Aging Life Care. Assistance in Reviewing Complaints In ALCA’s Peer Review Process, the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice serve as the basis for assessing and resolving ethical or business practice complaints against members in their practice of Aging Life Care.
THE CODE: ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS OF PRACTICE SUPPORTING THESE PRINCIPLES Integrity An Aging Life Care Professional is honest, diligent, and accountable in the provision of service. An Aging Life Care Professional always acts in a manner that is consistent with the professional values stated in this Code.

Help for Families Resources
The Keys to Healthy Living By Dr. Vivek Sinha We 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
retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
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 your age or what stage of life you find yourself in, 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.

Understanding Medicare Know the Options and the Coverage Medicare provides important benefits for most Americans who are age 65 and older. When enrolling in Medicare, changing plans or determining benefit coverage, consumers need to fully understand the many different types of Medicare plans. The process of selecting the best plan begins with learning more about all the options. Medicare’s Alphabet Soup Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. Medicare is composed of several different parts that cover specific services. Medicare Part A, or Hospital Insurance, covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care and some home health care. Medicare Part B, or Medical Insurance, covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies and preventive services. Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Medicare Part C, are health plans offered by private companies that contract with Medicare to provide subscribers with all their Part A and Part B benefits. Medicare Advantage Plans include Health Maintenance Organizations, Preferred Provider Organizations, Private Fee-for-Service Plans, Special PERSONAL CARE • MEMORY CARE SavNeeds Plans, and Medicare Medical
ings Account Plans. Most Medicare services are covered through the plan and aren’t paid for under Original Medicare. Most Medicare Advantage Plans offer prescription drug coverage. Medicare Part D, or prescription drug coverage, adds coverage for medications to Original Medicare, some Medicare Cost Plans, some Medicare Private-Feefor-Service Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans. These plans are offered by insurance companies and other private companies approved by Medicare. Additional Options Beyond the Medicare plans outlined above, there are also additional options available to individuals who meet specific criteria. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid programs vary from state to state, but most health care costs are covered if an individual qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid. Secondary Insurance may also be used to pay medical costs. For instance, an individual or their spouse may still be working and therefore be eligible for employee health insurance. Additionally, some retirees qualify for group health insurance, or retiree coverage, from a former employer or union or a spouse’s former employer or union.

If a beneficiary has Medicare and other health insurance or coverage, different rules apply to determine when and how much each “payer” will cover. Medicare may be the primary, or first, payer or a secondary payer depending on the specific plans and circumstances. Getting Coverage: Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage Plan Medicare coverage is generally obtained in one of two ways—through Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) or through a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C). Some people get additional coverage, like Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D) or Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap). Original Medicare includes both Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). Enrollees have their choice of doctors, hospitals and other providers that accept Medicare. Beneficiaries pay a premium for Part B coverage, which, in 2016 was $104.90 each month. They will also generally pay deductibles and coinsurance amounts. Many enrollees opt to purchase a Medigap Policy to cover some of these costs. If an individual is already receiving Social Security benefits or benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board, they will generally automatically begin receiving Parts A and B the first day of the month they turn 65. If an individual is not already receiving retirement benefits,

Medicare ... Plan. In all types of Medicare Advantage Plans, enrollees are always covered for emergency and urgently needed care. These plans typically require enrollees to use plan doctors, hospitals and other providers to avoid paying more or all of the costs for care. Enrollees pay the Part B premium, which was $104.90 per month in 2016, and a monthly premium for the Advantage plan. Enrollees may also pay copayments or coinsurance for covered services. Coverage and costs vary by plan. Medicare Advantage Plans usually include prescription drug coverage (Part D) through the plan. Plans may also offer extra coverage, like vision, hearing, dental and/or health and wellness programs.

they should sign up for Medicare three months before reaching age 65. Signing up in a timely fashion will help avoid any late enrollment penalties. Visit the Social Security website for more information about enrollment: www.ssa.gov/medicare/apply. A Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) also includes both Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage. However, the coverage is provided by private insurance companies approved by Medicare, not by Medicare directly. Advantage Plans function much like the HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) or PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans that are offered by most employer-based health care groups. Advantage Plans must cover all of the services that Original Medicare covers except hospice care. Original Medicare covers hospice care even if the beneficiary is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage

deductibles. These Medigap Policies are offered by private companies. When beneficiaries have a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicareapproved amount for covered health care costs. Then, the Medigap policy pays its share. Individuals interested in purchasing a Medigap policy should buy one during their 6-month Medigap open enrollment
period, which gives them the opportunity to buy any Medigap policy sold in their state, regardless of health problems. This period automatically starts the month that individuals are 65 and enrolled in Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance). After this enrollment period, some beneficiaries may not be able to buy a Medigap policy. If they are able to buy one, it may cost more.
Review Coverage Enrollees don’t need to sign up for Medicare each year. However, each year all beneficiaries have a chance to review their coverage and change plans. Free, personalized health insurance counseling is available through local State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIP). For more information or assistance, visit shiptacenter.org. Information adapted from Medicare’s Website, www.medicare.gov. Additional information is available online.

On the Ball By Christy Brudin
T
he intensity in the eyes. The roar of the crowd. The joy after a score. This is not NFL Sunday, or even the high school soccer league. It’s the Bocce court at White Horse Village, a continuing care retirement community in Newtown Square, PA. Every Saturday morning from May through October, more than 100 competitors and 50 spectators gather on the two Bocce courts for several hours of fierce—but friendly—competition. “We are really out there to have fun, but the competitive nature takes over,” says Bocce Committee Co-Chair John Young of the weekly matches. “It is a testament to the competitive drive at White Horse that you see so many residents practicing throughout the week and honing their skills.” Teams are organized according to the different neighborhoods that make up White Horse Village, which helps to build camaraderie. “The various living areas all have teams, and it gets really competitive,” explains Bill Moore, who is also a Bocce Committee Co-Chair. “All of the areas want to be on top at the end of the day.” Among the many residents on the Bocce court every week are Don and Dolores Price. The couple competes every Saturday and practices at least one other day per week. Although they had never played Bocce before White Horse’s first court opened in 2014, they were fast fans of the sport because it is both accessible and fun. “Someone with no athletic ability—like me—can end up winning a game by throwing the last ball and breaking things apart,” says Don. “Bocce has an unpredictable quality that makes it very exciting.” While they are Bocce devotees, Don and Dolores are also active participants in many other activities at White Horse. They moved to the community nine years ago, and their level of engagement continues to grow. “We started looking at retirement communities because we wanted a safety net. We wanted to know that we would have care as we grew older, if we needed it,” says Dolores. “But what drew us to White Horse specifically was the people. From our first tour, the residents and staff were so friendly and open and interesting.” Natives of California, the Prices met at the University of California, Berkley. They moved to the east coast so Don could pursue his career while Dolores continued her education. Dolores is a psychologist and operated a private practice for decades. She retired when the couple moved to White Horse. “White Horse has so many activities and so many great people to get to know, and I wanted to focus on that,” she says. retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
Every Saturday morning from May through October, more than 100 competitors, including Alice Swan, gather on the two Bocce courts.
A marketing and management executive, Don continued working even after the couple moved to White Horse. He was an Executive Vice President with Wawa for 35 years, and he found his work incredibly rewarding. Even after retiring, Don returned to work when the company asked him back. His only condition for coming out of retirement was a title change. For the last five years of his career, Don served as the “Minister of Magic.” He says, “I had absolutely the greatest job in the world, and I was still working a 60 hour week at 80 years old.” Since finally retiring, both Don and Dolores have become even more active at White Horse. Dolores enjoys serving on various committees, as it allows her to get to know her fellow residents. She is also an avid gardener, maintaining a small plot in front of the couple’s house. Dolores helps out with the communal Harvester’s Garden on campus as well. Last year, the garden won a Blue Ribbon award from The Pennsylvania Horticulture Society. As for socializing, Dolores maintains a full calendar, as the member of three book clubs and a wine club. In addition to playing Bocce, Don enjoys attending the many events and activities at the community, especially the music programs, including concerts by the in-house chorus and other highly acclaimed local musicians.

The Prices are quick to point out that there is something devastating personal tragedy. “We lost our son two years ago, and the kindness and for everyone at White Horse. Other athletic activities include shuffleboard, fitness classes and swimming. There is also a club support we received was amazing,” says Dolores. “The efforts they made to help us were unbelievable. There was always food for virtually every interest—from classic cars to ceramics. The community offers dining options to satisfy even the arriving at our door, not to mention endless kinds words and most sophisticated palates as well. “The food here is well support.” Like most prospective retirement community residents, the prepared and beautifully served. If I have a choice of going out Prices admit they were hesitant at first—about moving, about to eat or eating here, I choose to eat right here,” Don says. As someone who is familiar with “magic”—that somewhat leaving their long-term neighborhood, and about becoming part amorphous quality that popular brands deliver—Don has been of a new community. “I think it is normal to be apprehensive; we both were,” explains Dolores. “But impressed with White Horse from at least once a month since we the beginning. “Here at White “The entire staff is so impressive, moved, Don has said to me, ‘Thank Horse, they really know how to god you made me move.

Best Job Ever
H
onora Jackson has an amazing job. She spends her day going to lunch, attending concerts and visiting with dear friends. Honora is a Social Companion for Surrey Home Care Services. As a Social Companion, Honora combines the people skills honed during more than 30 years managing the Chanel counter at Bloomingdales and Wannamakers with a caring, persuasive manner. “I deeply care for my clients, and we become friends,” Honora shared. “All of this happens while I am assuring they are safe, well cared for, and participate in activities as much as they are able.” Honora served as a caregiver for her mother and mother-inlaw, so continuing to care for others who are at this stage of life seemed like a perfect job. Honora is also no stranger to changing careers. “The first time I had to reinvent myself was when I became a single mother,” said Honora. “I had two young children, ages 3 and 8, and I needed to support them.” Honora had been working as an interior designer, but she needed to have a family friendly job closer to home with limited travel. She spent half a decade at Merle Norman in Exton. A change in ownership left her in transition. Then Chanel recruited her. “When I retired from Chanel, it was time for another reinvention,” said Honora. “I need to be with people, and I need to feel that I can continue to make a difference in the lives of others.” Finding Surrey Home Care Services was just the right fit. Working as a Social Companion Social companions provide their clients a supportive connection to the world outside their home. They help with everyday tasks such as meal preparation, grocery shopping and transportation, while assuring the safety of their clients. “I called myself a sous chef for one client,” said Honora. “I cut up the vegetables and made salads, so that when her husband returned from work they could cook dinner together.” Honora matches activities with the interests of her clients. “Depending on their interests, we visit museums, attend art classes or go to concerts,” said Honora. “And, of course, I drive my clients to their doctor’s appointments.” Honora has worked with six clients during her tenure with Surrey Home Care Services. One client taught her the stock market as they looked up stocks online at each visit. “Social companions provide a means for clients to get social interaction that keeps them vibrant and mentally engaged,” said Frank Byrne, Senior Director of Home Care Services at Surrey Services for Seniors. “Our social companions are carefully matched with clients by Surrey’s Client Care Coordinators, who are nurses and social workers, after a personalized assessment of the client’s individual care needs.”

As a Social Companion for Surrey Home Care Services, Honora Jackson plans activities to match the interests of her clients.
All Surrey Home Care Services staff members are employees, and they pass extensive background checks. “Surrey offers care you can trust,” said Frank. Decrease isolation; increase happiness Living alone or no longer being able to drive can cause many seniors to feel isolated. When families engage Surrey Home Care, they decrease the isolation older adults feel. The one-onone special care a social companion provides gives older adults something to look forward to and stories to share with family over dinner. Honora also keeps in touch with the adult children of some 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

clients. “When my client has dementia and cannot remember the details of our activities, I email their children so they can discuss my client’s day over dinner. This brings the family together.” Honora has a special place in her heart for the adult children who care so deeply for their parents and sometimes feel guilty for getting help. “It is so hard for the kids. This is their Mom or Dad, and they wish they were just like they used to be. Most of these adult children have children of their own, and full time jobs, so they feel stressed,” she explained. Frank added, “The peace of mind we can offer a family is a great stress relief. Now they will know that their aging parent has company, is able to keep medical appointments, and can participate in social and cultural activities while they are at work.” Accepting help Some clients do not think they need a social companion. “I’ve had clients who started our engagement with ‘I don’t need you,’” Honora said. So she charms them. “I’m patient and understanding. It is hard to admit you need help. So I just say, ‘Well, I’m here today,’ and we take it a day at a time until we settle into a routine and build a relationship.” Honora starts every day with this thought, “Let me help someone today and make a difference in their life.”

I can fix almost anything, EXCEPT A HEALTHY DINNER. “I appreciate how my daughter’s cooking helps keep
me healthy, although I’d never admit it. But my family has travel plans this summer, and my favorite dishes and my blood pressure just aren’t compatible. So one night we talked about Chandler Hall’s Special Guest Respite Care Program. I knew all about it, but I made them convince me anyway. What a great thing Respite Care turned out to be. The food was so delicious I forgave the chef for making it healthy. My new dinner companions soon became old friends, too. What’s more, my apartment was spacious, fully-equipped, and as comfortable as my room at home. I didn’t spend much time there though. Instead I enjoyed exercising at the on-site YMCA and watched the Chandler Field ballgames from the porch. My Respite Care stay at Chandler Hall was the perfect solution for my family’s plans and my blood pressure liked it too.”

rom covered bridges to bustling shopping districts, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is brimming with history and teeming with life. The county has much to offer visitors and residents alike – whether they are looking to take a trip back in time or enjoy the conveniences of modern life. Bucks County is located in Southeastern Pennsylvania and is only 30 minutes outside of Philadelphia. New York City and Washington, D.C. are both a short drive away. The county is bordered to the east by the Delaware River. One of the three original counties in the colony of Pennsylvania, Bucks County was named after Buckinghamshire, William Penn’s native county in England.
Alive with History William Penn’s mansion on the Delaware River, Pennsbury Manor, is one of Bucks County’s prime historic attractions. The Manor has been named a National Historic Site. Visitors can get a small taste of colonial life, while enjoying beautiful views of the river. Bucks County cemented its important role in American history on December 25, 1776, when General George Washington and his troops crossed the icy Delaware River and launched a surprise attack. This well-orchestrated attack turned the tide of the Revolutionary War in favor of the Americans. Modern day visitors can stand where Washington stood at the Washington Crossing Historic Park.

One of the founders of the American Arts and Crafts movement, Henry Chapman Mercer, established the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown. The unique decorative tiles created in the original factory were used in buildings ranging from theaters to state houses around the world. The factory is now a living history museum featuring artists who make tiles using original molds. In addition to the factory, Mercer also left behind Fonthill, the stately mansion he once called home. The 44-room concrete home was featured on A&E’s “America’s Castles” and now serves as a museum.

HOUSING Active Adult
Stay Surrounded With Activity Active adult communities keep residents moving For 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 maintenance-free yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with favorite hobbies and group activi-

ties, 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.

Boomers Retiring at a Quick Rate Most ready to retire, already collecting social security The first set of Baby Boomers, those born in 1946, continue to be mythbusters, according to the study, Healthy, Retiring Rapidly and Collecting Social Security: The MetLife Report on the Oldest Boomers. The data, from the company’s MetLife Mature Market Institute, says the earliest Boomers aren’t necessarily “working ‘till they drop,” as was predicted. More than half (52%) of the 1946 Boomers are now fully retired. Of those, 38 percent say, “I’m ready,” while 17 percent cite health reasons and 10 percent attribute a job loss. Twenty-one percent remain employed full-time and 14 percent are working part-time; of those, most plan to retire fully by age 71, up from 69 in 2011. The figures from the MetLife Mature Market Institute 2013 study represent a big jump since 2007 and 2008 when just
19 percent of the oldest Boomers were retired and a significant leap from the 45 percent retired in 2011. The Institute has studied the oldest boomer cohort on numerous occasions, most recently in 2012 with Transitioning into Retirement: The MetLife Study of Baby Boomers at 65 and The Early Boomers: How America’ s Baby Boomers Will Transform Aging, Work & Retirement. The 2013 study follows the group as they’ve moved from age 62 to 67, their finances, housing status, family lives and their views on generational issues. For instance, though the majority of retirees say they have less income than when they were working, lower income does not always equal a lower standard of living, as only 20 percent felt theirs had declined. “As oldest Boomers dive into retirement, even though some have been forced
to do so earlier than expected, they seem to be ‘Feelin’ Groovy,’ as this group would have said during their formative years,” said Sandra Timmermann, Ed.D., director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute. “They are poised to remain active and engaged. As their nests empty, they seem to be largely feeling healthy and positive. On the negative side, a good half of this group may not have achieved their retirement savings goals and are not confident about paying for the next phase of their lives.” Among further findings: • 86 percent are collecting Social Security benefits; 43 percent began collecting earlier than they had planned. • Only 14 percent of the oldest Boomers are working part-time or seasonally; 4 percent are self-employed. • Long-term care rose to the top of the

boomers ... Continued from page 99 list of retirement concerns; 31 percent reported concern about providing for themselves or their spouses. • Despite the fact that they are worried about long-term care, just under a quarter owns private long-term care insurance. • 82 percent want to age in place and do not plan any future moves. • Eight percent are “upside down” on their mortgage, owing more than the value of their home. • The average number of grandchildren is 4.8. • 79 percent of the oldest Boomers have neither of their parents living, but more than one in 10 are providing regular care for a parent or older relative; for many, the level of care has increased. • Oldest Boomers continue to believe they will see themselves as “old” at the age of 78.5. • 16 percent of the oldest Boomers see themselves as being sharpest mentally now, in their 60s, but the largest group
(30%) believes they were sharpest in their 40s. • More than 40 percent of the oldest Boomers are optimistic about the future. Nearly a quarter of those are optimistic about their health, and two in 10 feel good about their personal finances. • More than half of the oldest Boomers feel their generation is leaving a positive legacy for future generations. Values and morals and good work ethic were the top two items cited.
More than 40 percent of the oldest Boomers are optimistic about the future.
Methodology The nationally representative survey for Healthy, Retiring Rapidly and Collecting Social Security: The MetLife Report on the Oldest Boomers was conducted by GfK Custom Research North America on behalf of the MetLife Mature Market Institute between November 6, 2012 and December 23, 2012. A total of 1,003 respondents, including 447 people from the 2011 study, were surveyed by phone —respondents were all born in 1946. Data were weighted by demographics to reflect the total Boomer population.

Receive Care for Life Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), also known as Life Plan Communities, 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.

What Questions to Ask About Fees 1. Are there financial deposits for which I am responsible? If so, what is the refund policy if I decide not to move to the community? 2. What types of service contracts or agreements are available in this community? 3. How much is the current entrance fee? Are there plans to increase the amount of this fee in the future? 4. Is there a structure for refund or rebate of entrance fees? If so, what is the time period in which the refund/rebate can be granted, and when and under what conditions will the refund/rebate be paid? 5. What services are included in the monthly fee?

Retirement Communities Housing Options
Understand Entrance Fees Knowing the options when paying for ccrcs Most CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. Full refunds offer just that, a
The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen and agreement type.
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 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-tomonth arrangements.” Most CCRCs are nonprofit organizations with business models surrounding

Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower entrance fee than Type A, the CARF cautions that, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements) Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says Herrera. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care.

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.

munity 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. R esearch 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 benevolence 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. D etermine 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. E xplore, 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.”

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

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

Access Benefits for Veterans Help is available for service members Individuals 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.
Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty
retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is based on priority groups. Congress determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that limited funds are provided to higher priority Veterans first. Priority groups range from 1-8, with 1 being Continued on page 120

access benefits ... Continued from page 119 the highest priority. Group 1 includes Veterans who are more than 50 percent disabled, while Group 8 is made up of individuals who are not rated as disabled and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, 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. Long-term 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 Atten-
dance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA tollfree at 1-877-222-VETS (8387). Information adapted from http://www. va.gov/geriatrics/ and from Health Care Benefits Overview 2012, a publication of the VA available at http://www.va.gov/ healthbenefits/resources/epublications.asp.

HOUSING Assisted/Personal Care
Assisted Living/Personal Care Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living/personal care communities offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily living. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living communities offer basic services, including meals, supervision and security, and help with personal care needs. For many seniors, the help available at an assisted living facility can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living communities are registered, licensed or certified by an appropriate department or agency of the state that has a process for issuance of initial licenses and for renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers. Residents of assisted living communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic activities, frequently called the activities of daily living (or ADLs). Some communities may accept residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In fact, some communities may specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. A few communities serve individuals of any age with developmental disabilities. When reviewing assisted living communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have.
The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the residents. One key offering is 24-hour supervision of the residents and the property. Resident safety and security is a priority at all assisted living communities. All communities also offer three meals a day in a group dining room. However, dining options can vary dramatically in terms of the meals available and the costs associated with meal plans. Finally, all assisted living communities offer personal care services, also known as help with the ADLs. These services include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Other services and activities available at some assisted living communities include: • Medication management, or assistance with self-administration of medicine • Coordination of services by outside health care providers • Assistance with arranging medical, health, and dental care services • Social services • Transportation services • Outdoor areas for walking or gardening • Supervision and assistance for persons with Alzheimer’s or other dementias
and disabilities • Recreational and spiritual activities • Exercise and wellness programs • Laundry and linen service • Housekeeping and maintenance • Individualized services While assisted living communities do provide a high level of care, it is important to consider what is not provided at these communities before selecting one. Assisted living communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living communities do not typically provide the level of continuous skilled nursing care found in nursing homes and hospitals. For instance, if a prospective resident needs constant care, a nursing home may be a more viable option. There is no set standard for assisted living accommodations. Therefore, options can vary greatly from one assisted living community to the next. For instance, some communities offer private rooms featuring kitchenettes and private bathrooms, while others offer shared units or shared bathrooms. Consumers must consider the prospective resident’s personal needs, financial means and personal preferences before selecting a community. Assisted living communities are constructed and equipped to comply with a host of local, state and federal

Woodbine Senior Living Communities
HOUSING Assisted/Personal Care Assisted Living Continued from 130 regulations. They are operated, staffed and maintained in a manner appropriate to the needs and desires of the residents
served. While all communities will meet mandated requirements for safe operation, some communities will far exceed those requirements, providing extra security features. In particular, communities that provide care for residents
with Alzheimer’s or other dementias and disabilities generally feature special designs to assure resident safety and autonomy. Source: www.ahcancal.org
10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living/Personal Care Facility 1. Make 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.

Memory Care Specialized Care
Choose Memory Care A special care residence may be the right option Certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address memory 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.
Love. Happiness. A Sense of Belonging. These Are The Things They Remember.

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

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

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 nursing services Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive home care services through Medicaid.

Locate Resources Help is available in your neighborhood and across the country Government agencies are an invaluable resource and can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 created the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a national network of agencies that promote and protect the health and wellbeing of older adults. Amendments to the OAA provided grants to Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), giving them the resources to identify local needs and plan and fund local programs. The Department of Health & Human Services describes this comprehensive network as the National Aging Network. The key components of this network, which serves seven million
Americans age 60 and over as well as 325,000 caregivers, are the Administration on Aging, the State Units of Aging, and the Area Agencies on Aging. Administration on Aging (AoA) As the leader of the Network, AoA works primarily to increase awareness amongst government agencies, organizations and the general public in regards to the needs of the older American population. In addition to recommending policy and developing regulations, AoA is also responsible for providing grants to worthwhile projects. The AoA can be reached at www.aoa.gov or 202619-0724. Eldercare Locator In an effort to provide nationwide information assistance to the general-
public, the AoA developed the Eldercare Locator in 1991, connecting Americans and their caregivers with information about local services. The program puts individuals in touch with local AAAs and other community-based organizations. To contact the Eldercare Locator, call 1-800- 677-1116 or visit www.eldercare.gov. State Units on Aging The State Units on Aging (SUA) serve as the state arm of the AoA. SUAs coordinate services in their states by working with a variety of state agencies and other public and private organizations. State Units also award grants to AAAs to help create community specific programs.
Services provided by AAAs •A dult Day Care is available for individuals who need daytime supervision. • Case Management Services are conducted by professionals who can assess needs and arrange for services to encourage continued independence. • Elder Abuse Prevention Programs provide investigative services and intervention in cases of abuse. • Financial Assistance and benefit counseling is conducted by professionals. • Home Health Services provide needed care in the home environment.

• Be admitted for service only if the agency has the ability to provide safe, professional care at the level of intensity needed; • Receive reasonable continuity of care; • Receive information necessary to give informed consent prior to the start of any treatment or procedure;
• Be advised of any change in the plan of care, before the change is made; • Refuse treatment within the confines of the law and to be informed of the consequences of this action; • Be informed of his or her rights under state law to formulate advanced directives.

Choosing Home Care Use these questions to interview providers
Adult Day Care
o W hat are the financial procedures of this provider? o D oes the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care? o W hat procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? o H ow does this provider ensure patient confidentiality? o I f the hired caregiver becomes ill or otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made? o Are social security, federal and state taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible? o I s there verification that the paid caregivers can legally work in the U.S.? o I f the hired caregiver is injured, who is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.” o A re criminal history background checks, state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed? o I s there bonding and insurance in place that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages. o I s it possible to estimate the ongoing cost of care?
Home Care
o H ow long has this provider been serving the community? o Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. o How does this provider select and train its employees? o Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? o Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? o Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? o Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care? o Are patients involved in making care plan changes? o Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient? o Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? o Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints? o How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems?

Find Daytime Supervision Centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers Adult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers, as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision 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.
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
Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay
the staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother.
