TABLE OF CONTENTS

RetirementLiving

THANKS TO YOU Everything changed. One day it was business as usual. The next day normal didn’t even exist. COVID-19 has completely upended life as we know it. Perhaps nowhere has the change been more profound and absolute than in the senior living industry. Unfortunately, senior living communities throughout the nation have become epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic. This deadly disease is uniquely dangerous to senior living residents, who are over age 65, often have preexisting conditions, and are sharing living and dining spaces. But there are bright spots. In this first issue since the pandemic began, we will highlight those bright spots. Our new section “Positive Aging in the Age of Coronavirus” includes vital information for moving forward (see page 23). The section showcases the leaders and communities who are finding methods to serve seniors while adapting to a new reality. In our cover story, you’ll meet some of the leaders at Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place who directed a rapid response to the crisis and have kept their residents safe (see page 14).

Find Your Decision-Making Style

Whether you plan out every minute or always wait until the last minute, there is still time to create a positive aging experience. Find your decision-making style and get ready to take the next—or the first—step. Planners Also known as “advance planners,” these older adults research alternatives and plan for retirement while they are still healthy. While everyone approaches decision making differently, planners tend to perform exhaustive research with a clear

goal in mind—whether that is aging in place or moving to a retirement community. Many planners eventually become second—or third— generation retirement community residents. They saw first-hand what a good experience their parents or other loved ones had at a retirement community, and they work to ensure that they can enjoy the same experience. Procrastinators They are “not ready yet.” From their perspective, retirement is years—maybe even decades—away.

Scramblers Scramblers are procrastinators without intervention. Scramblers have never thought about senior living and never discussed a plan with their loved ones. Then, one day, everything changes. After a serious injury or illness, scramblers are forced to plan during a crisis. Oftentimes, these older adults and their loved ones must make difficult and expensive choices under extreme duress. It is not uncommon for the children of a scrambler to become planners. They have seen what happens when you wait, and they want to avoid becoming a burden on their own children.

Spring Village at Pocono & Woodbridge Place

COVER STORY

A Promise and a Pandemic By Christy Brudin

guarantee. An oath. A pledge. A promise can come in many forms, but it is always meant to reassure. Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place promise to deliver strong, healthy and happy senior living communities for residents and families. Even in the face of a global pandemic, these communities have kept their promise—and kept their residents healthy. When COVID-19 struck, Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place acted swiftly and decisively to protect their residents and staff. Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place were able to leverage the knowledge and best practices of the larger organization, while being empowered to make individualized decisions that worked in their communities. This allowed the communities to devise COVID-19 responses that were both proactive and personalized.

Testing and Protecting

“We started addressing Coronavirus early—a lot earlier than the government ordered us to,” noted Chris Behm, the senior executive director of Spring Village at Pocono, a community offering personal care and memory care. And it worked. The community has no resident COVID-19 cases. One staff member tested positive for the virus and was quarantined at home for 45 days before testing negative. Spring Village’s successful approach began with early action and was supported by comprehensive testing. Spring Village began quarantining residents and eliminating visitations in early March, after watching what was happening in Washington state. The community also started monitoring staff and residents for fever or other symptoms of Coronavirus. Later, they

800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

made the decision to quarantine residents to their rooms as an additional precaution. Residents, families and staff were fully supportive and cooperative with the protective measures. “They all knew that ultimately we were doing everything we could to protect our residents and keep them healthy,” Chris noted. Beyond acting early, Spring Village at Pocono also tapped into their corporate resources to protect residents. Chris attends regular conference calls with other executive directors. The leaders share best practices, give and receive advice, and offer feedback for their peers. To best handle COVID-19 testing, Chris turned to corporate resources and took matters into his own hands. “We couldn’t get our staff or residents tested. I wrote letters. I explained that my employees worked in a health care setting with a vulnerable population—but they still couldn’t get tested,” Chris said. “Through our corporate network, we were able to connect with a private lab to get every staff member and resident tested for COVID-19. I found out exactly what was happening in our building and used that knowledge to keep our residents safe.” In early April, Spring Village completed testing. Knowing that they had no resident COVID-19 cases in the building was a huge relief, but the Spring Village staff remains vigilant. Residents are still receiving all their meals in their rooms. The staff is continuing to arrange virtual visits and to engage residents through socially distanced activities. As Spring Village begins to feel safer, and local restrictions have started to lift, residents are being encouraged to walk around the hallways and the property, as long as they wear masks and social distance. All of these measures have helped the residents feel safe and remain healthy. “The staff here have done a terrific job during the pandemic,” said Spring Village at Continued on page 16

COVER STORY

Spring Village at Pocono & Woodbridge Place

PAWS to Consider What’s Important Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place pride themselves on providing a home-like setting in their communities. One major factor in ensuring that residents feel at home is promoting a pet-friendly environment. Both communities have pets, and they always welcome them. In addition to community pets, residents are encouraged to bring their personal pets when they move. At Woodbridge Place, everyone’s favorite resident is Snowflake, aka “Snowy.” Snowy is a rescue dog that lives at the community and provides emotional support for the residents. While she lives with one resident, she is everyone’s favorite dog. Throughout the day, Snowy roams the hallways looking for a friend—and maybe a treat. Even throughout the pandemic, Snowy has kept up daily rounds, visiting with residents in their rooms. “Snowy is an integral part of our team. There is no question about that,” said Senior Executive Director of Woodbridge Place Deb Bodnar. “There is just something so grounding about a fur baby, who simply wants to visit with you and be petted. Our residents gain so much from Snowy.”

Continued from page 15 Pocono resident Evelyn Marx. “Nobody can come in here, and they keep everything immaculately clean. I haven’t had to worry about anything because it is all taken care of for me.” Evelyn has enjoyed outdoor visits with her daughter and waves at her grandchild through the window. She keeps herself busy doing puzzles and participating in community-organized games.

Connecting and Comforting

“We are not alone.” That message, complete with a rainbow, adorns every window at Woodbridge Place, a personal care and memory care community located in Phoenixville, PA. While they may be required to distance for their safety, Woodbridge Place residents know they are never truly alone thanks to the monumental efforts of the community’s staff. Like their sister property, Woodbridge Place acted early and tested aggressively to keep residents

safe. Senior Executive Director Deb Bodnar also participated in the corporate conference calls and used the many resources that were offered. “The conference calls provided so many interesting perspectives, and we were able to problem solve together,” said Deb. “We shared best practices, but we also shared camaraderie. It was such a difficult and uncertain time in the beginning of the pandemic and that connection meant so much.” Woodbridge Place began taking extra precautions to protect their residents and suspended visitors in early March.

When local schools closed, the staff advised residents to stay in their rooms and wear a mask whenever they interacted with others. The community initiated comprehensive testing in April. “We knew this was very contagious, so we were looking for symptoms early on, but as we learned that it could be spread by asymptomatic people, we realized we had to do wide-scale testing,” Deb explained. Rather than wait for government action, Woodbridge Place also contracted with a private company to test their residents and staff. They found 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

that one staff person and one resident had the virus. The resident who tested positive never showed symptoms. Throughout the crisis, Woodbridge Place has enjoyed the support of both residents and families. “I think that is because we have been really proactive about keeping them informed,” Deb said. “We have always felt that it is better for our families to have more information than less, and we maintain open lines of communication.” In addition to committing to keeping families informed, the community has dedicated time and resources to keeping 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

residents connected. Staff realized early on that the senior residents would feel scared and isolated if they were kept in their rooms and only interacting with people wearing protective equipment. As many seniors living at home were beginning to find these unprecedented times even more challenging and lonely, the residents at Woodbridge Place were realizing even more fully the wisdom of their decision to join a senior living community. There is comfort and security being in a totally supported and safe environment. With the Wellness Team coordinating the

vigilant safety protocols, including wellness visits and medication renewals and administration, other team members at Woodbridge went to work to assure that the community’s spirit of camaraderie was alive and well. Residents were eager to get their first introduction and education on how to use technology—including Facetime— to communicate with their family members. They also embraced creative ways to keep connected with their neighbors through socially distanced visits, a strolling guitar player during the Continued on page 18

“We know that isolation in and of itself can be very dangerous, so we have really focused on making sure that each and every one of our residents never feels alone—because they aren’t.” —Deb Bodnar, NHA, senior executive director of Woodbridge Place

Helen, a Woodbridge Place resident, celebrated her 100th birthday during the pandemic.

Continued from page 17 dinner hours, a daily delivered newsletter, personal flower arranging, hallway bingo, “Wine Down” Wednesdays and Friday Afternoon Cocktails served by activity staff, and daily spiritual support via the community’s intercom system. A community favorite were the personal spa services including haircuts, beard trims and manicures. Residents were also able to order anything they needed from a local community store and have it delivered along with their mail by a friendly, familiar face—making their days a little brighter. “My staff has truly risen to the occasion. They were eager to learn and anxious to help,” Deb said. In fact, she noted that one of the silver linings of the pandemic has been the opportunity for staff to gain new skills. “This crisis presented a unique growth opportunity for our up-and-coming caregivers to gain advanced training and experience in infection control, personal protective equipment and the need to advocate quickly for the safety of our residents,” explained Deb. One of the most innovative ways that Woodbridge Place has found to keep residents connected is their newly installed Plexiglas visiting booth. “One of our family members works in

construction, and he offered to build a booth made of Plexiglas,” explained Deb. “This allows our residents to come down at predetermined times and visit with family. Then, everything is disinfected and readied for the next resident. This is an amazing addition, as these safety precautions will be with us for some time.” The Plexiglas visiting booth is just one of the many creative approaches that families and staff members have instituted to help residents stay connected. “We know that isolation in and of itself can be very dangerous, so we have really focused on making sure that each and every one of our residents never feels alone—because they aren’t,” Deb concluded. Helen would agree. She’s been a resident at Woodbridge Place for seven years. She recently celebrated her 100th birthday and even in the midst of a pandemic, the staff made sure she was honored. “I was so surprised they knew it was my birthday. I was very happy,” she said. Helen and her peers have never felt isolated during this difficult time, but they have felt very protected. Fellow resident Edith noted, “The staff have kept us safe in every way. And every one of us stayed healthy. They also helped me keep in touch with my family

through Facebook and Facetiming, which they offered to everyone.” Another resident, Peg, added, “I never felt cooped up. The staff have done a terrific job of keeping us safe and busy.”

Promises Made, Promises Kept

Promises are always important. In times of crisis, they are indispensable. Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place kept their promise. By leveraging corporate resources and acting locally, they were able to keep their residents healthy and happy through a global pandemic. While this virus has hit the senior living industry as a whole incredibly hard, these communities have taken extra precautions and acted quickly to keep residents safe. In the worst of times and the best of times, families and seniors can count on Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place to advocate for every resident. While the crisis is not yet over, Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place are proving that you can keep residents safe, happy and healthy—that you can keep your promises—even in a pandemic.* * Spring Village at Pocono and Woodbridge Place are managed by Woodbine Senior Living.

Arden Courts Communities

Filling Hearts

Local communities deliver special events for residents and staff

ometimes you just want to escape. Go to the beach. Take off for Hawaii. Enjoy a parade. In times of stress, getting away from it all can be all you want—and exactly what you need. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Arden Courts* is delivering a little bit of escapism to their residents and staff through a unique program called Heart’s Desire. Heart’s Desire delivers special moments or events for senior living residents. It is similar to the “Make a Wish” program, except the focus is on senior dementia patients. In the current crisis, these meaningful experiences have taken on an added significance. “We really wanted to focus on the good things that were happening at Arden Courts and to give everyone a little piece of normal,” said Paul Vranesic, Regional Manager of Market

Development for Arden Courts in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. “Using Heart’s Desire, we were able to deliver so many special moments for our residents during a challenging time.” Marianne, a resident of Arden Courts of Cherry Hill, consistently talked about her desire to have a nice seafood lunch followed by a walk on the beach. With the help of a donation from Chickie’s and Pete’s Restaurant, Arden Courts staff made Marianne’s dream come true. After a seafood feast with a few friends, Marianne dipped her toes in an inflatable sandbox while experiencing a virtual reality beach. “It was wonderful! You all try to do everything for everybody,” Marianne said of her special day. At Linden Village, a personal care community in Lebanon, PA, owned by Arden Courts, the Heart’s Desire

AGE OF CORONAVIRUS

COVID-19

Positive Aging in the

Age of Coronavirus

Overcoming challenges and embracing change

By Christy Brudin

OVID-19 changed everything. The impact on the senior living industry has been profound, and it will be felt for decades—if not forever. While trying to protect a vulnerable population, the industry has had to navigate changing regulations and expectations, staffing and equipment shortages, and negative media coverage. There is no denying that this crisis highlighted areas where the industry can—and should—be improved. However, it is also important to celebrate the many successes derived from duress—from a smile or a laugh broadcast through cyberspace to a connection fortified during socially distant activities. Senior living employees at every level have worked tirelessly to keep a generation safe—and to generate happiness in the midst of a crisis.

Testing I n addition to the other infection prevention and control measures they are taking, senior living communities are also performing COVID-19 testing. Many communities performed wholesale testing of all residents and staff. Others are testing symptomatic patients only unless there is a confirmed case in the building.

FEATURE STORY

Dunwoody Village is located on 83 beautiful acres, making hiking a leading pastime among residents.

Decidedly Different Dunwoody Village maintains strong sense of community amid COVID-19

isitors to Dunwoody Village frequently remark that it just “feels different” from other communities, and it doesn’t take long to understand why. The genuine friendliness, openness and inclusivity that are an intrinsic part of the Dunwoody culture are readily apparent from the moment people walk through the front door. Suddenly, however, the hallways, gym, auditorium and dining rooms that were once a flurry of activity and camaraderie were eerily bare – a necessity to keep residents healthy and safe. From the earliest days of the COVID-19 outbreak, Dunwoody Village took swift, decisive action across its continuum of care by restricting guests, instituting round-the-clock screening of non-residents, and paying special attention to increased housekeeping and sanitization. With a 5-star rated health care team already trained in crisis management and infection control protocols, residents of the community’s care center, independent living apartments, country houses and carriage homes had the peace of mind that

living at Dunwoody Village offers. “Even though our residents were sheltering in place like everyone else, there was the added peace of mind knowing that their needs were being met,” says Elaine Kaiser, Dunwoody Village’s Marketing Director. “Residents and staff have the cohesive feeling of everyone being in this together.” Some of the temporary modifications that were implemented include: Dining. Choosing from a varied menu with daily specials, residents’ meals were delivered to their door by dining services staff. Residents were able to purchase some staples through dining services, and social services and administrative staff provided grocery shopping services for residents on a rotating schedule, as residents were encouraged to shelter in place and avoid shopping. Fitness. Dunwoody’s 83 acres provide a plethora of walking or biking opportunities. Hiking trails and beautifully landscaped grounds afford residents ample space for outdoor exercise. Socially distanced seating under shade trees offered

the perfect place for residents to do yoga together. While the fitness center was closed, exercise classes, led by the fitness trainers in an empty auditorium, were broadcast live each morning on Dunwoody’s closed-circuit channel. Lifelong learning. Dunwoody’s closed-circuit channel was also used for broadcasting documentaries and musical performances beyond those that were available on television. Books requested by residents from Dunwoody’s library were distributed door-to-door. One of Dunwoody’s residents continued to teach a virtual crocheting class through a local organization. Many residents expanded their technical savvy as they explored platforms such as FaceTime and Zoom to stay connected with family, friends and other residents. Volunteer opportunities. Residents and staff joined forces to meet needs both within the Dunwoody community and beyond. Masks were made for each resident; hearts were crocheted and donated to a local hospital, so that COVID patients had something to hold while apart from their families; and residents designed and decorated rainbows that were distributed among the various departments to show appreciation for the staff’s dedication. Through the generosity of residents and fellow staff members, a food pantry was stocked and offered to staff whose families were adversely impacted economically. There’s no question that life at Dunwoody Village looks a bit different than it did before COVID19. It’s hard to tell when we, like the rest of the world, will be completely back to “business as usual.” In the meantime, however, the inherent sense of community and camaraderie, coupled with the peace of mind that a continuing care retirement community provides, makes Dunwoody Village a Decidedly Different® choice.

Everyone waved, cheered, honked and smiled—and maintained a safe distance. These are just a few of the many examples of how the Heart’s Desire program has helped dementia care residents navigate the current crisis. Through the Heart’s Desire program, Arden Courts is fulfilling wishes and filling hearts. In a time when it sometimes seems like good news is hard to find, that is noteworthy.

Heart Care During Cancer Treatment A condition called cardiotoxicity can occur when receiving chemotherapy and other anti-cancer drugs that weaken the heart. The most common symptoms of cardiotoxicity include shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pain and swelling of the legs. To prevent this complication during and after cancer treatment, doctors will assess a patient’s risk for cardiotoxicity. One or more risk factors—including a history of heart disease, age 65 or older, obesity, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol—could elevate the risk for cardiotoxicity. Before beginning treatment for cancer at Nazareth Hospital, a care team including a cardiologist will evaluate the heart and may perform an echocardiogram scan to detect potential

damage to the heart muscle. This enhanced echocardiogram can detect preliminary signs of heart damage, so doctors can intervene early—with a change in medicine—and actually prevent the heart from getting weaker. A cardiologist may also suggest medications like aspirin and lifestyle changes to protect the heart during and after treatment. “Fortunately, cancer treatment has evolved, and oncologists now have multiple ways of treating cancer,” says Sonela Skenderi, DO, FACC, a cardiologist at Nazareth. Screening for potential heart disease before chemotherapy is essential to preventing cardiotoxicity. For more information on cardiotoxicity and cancer care at Nazareth Hospital, visit trinityhealthma.org.

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

ELDER LAW

Elder Law

What is elder or special needs law? Legal issues that affect people as they age and people with special needs are growing in number. Our laws and regulations are becoming more complex, and each state has different laws. Actions taken with regard to a single matter may have unintended legal outcomes. It is important for attorneys working with seniors, people with special needs, and their families to have a broad understanding of the laws that may have an impact on a given situation to avoid future problems. Elder and Special Needs Law encompasses many different fields of law. Some of these include: • Preservation/transfer of assets seeking to avoid spousal impoverishment when one spouse enters a nursing home • Medicaid • Medicare claims and appeals

• Social Security and disability claims and appeals • Supplemental and long-term health insurance issues • Tax planning • Disability planning, including use of durable powers of attorney, living trusts, “living wills” for financial management and health care decisions, and other means of delegating management and decision-making to another in case of incompetency or incapacity • Access to health care in a managed care environment • Conservatorships and guardianships • Estate planning, including planning for the management of one’s estate during life and its disposition on death through the use of trusts, wills and other planning documents

• Probate and administration of estates • Administration and management of trusts • Long-term care placements in nursing homes and life-care communities • Nursing home issues, including questions of patients’ rights and nursing home quality • Elder abuse and fraud recovery cases • Housing issues, including discrimination and home equity conversions • Age discrimination in employment • Retirement, including public and private retirement benefits, survivor benefits and pension benefits • Health law • Mental health law.

What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the sometimes difficult decisions involved in one’s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients to other

Do I Need an Elder Law Attorney? Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there nonlegal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? To pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you must know your needs. If you don’t truly understand your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else.

In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably don’t need an expensive package. Be a smart consumer. Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there are attorneys who will occasionally take on pro-bono cases or will work on a contingency fee. Local law schools are good places to check for assistance as many students will help low-income or disabled individuals to practice their skills.

How to Plan Your Funeral By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law Thinking about your funeral may not be fun, but planning ahead can be exceedingly helpful for your family. It both lets them know your wishes and assists them during a stressful time. The following are steps you can take to plan ahead: • Name who is in charge. The first step is to designate someone to make funeral arrangements for you. If you do not designate someone, your spouse or children are usually given the task. •P ut your preferences in writing. Write out detailed funeral preferences as well as the requested disposition of your remains. Would you rather be buried or cremated? Do you want a funeral or a memorial service? Where should the funeral or memorial be held? The document can also include information about who should be invited, what you want to wear, who should speak, what music should be played, and who should be pallbearers, among other information. The writing can be a separate document or part of a health care directive. It should not be included in your will because the will may not be opened until long after the funeral.

•S hop around. Prices among funeral homes can vary greatly, so it is a good idea to check with a few different ones before settling on the one you want. The Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule requires all funeral homes to supply customers with a general price list that details prices for all possible goods or services. • Inform your family members. Make sure you tell your family members about your wishes and

let them know where you have written them down. • Figure out how to pay for it. Funerals are expensive, so you need to think about how to pay for the one you want. You can pre-pay for your funeral or you can set up a funeral account with your bank. Taking the time to plan ahead will be a big help to your family and give you peace of mind.

Ethical Medicaid Planning By Linda M. Anderson, Esquire, CELA Is Medicaid Planning ethical? Like so many questions that arise in law, “it depends.” Medicaid planning is the process of qualifying an individual for Medicaid benefits to help pay for longterm care costs. This is only one part of an Elder Law Attorney’s practice. Many of my cases involve life transitions, such as a spouse or parent getting sick and moving to a nursing home. With these and all cases, my first question is always “who is my client?” This question is fundamental to my work because my recommendations are for the best interests of the client. Typically, the elder is my client, and my goal is to determine if my client is, in a word, safe, and receiving a level of care appropriate to their circumstances. This is not always easy to determine and may require a combination of tact, family diplomacy and uncomfortable directness. Care needs are then matched with the client’s finances. If a client cannot self-fund monthly care costs (which routinely run $10,000 a month or more in assisted living or skilled nursing facilities) then a combination of personal assets, Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and long-term care insurance will need to be considered. Qualifying for these benefits requires the elder or their advisor to be prepared to handle a tangle of state and federal benefit programs, further complicated by uncertainty surrounding proposed changes to

Helping clients to navigate this complicated framework of laws is one of the primary jobs of the Elder Law Attorney. program funding, regulations, and the structure of national healthcare and tax policies. Helping clients to navigate this complicated framework of laws is one of the primary jobs of the Elder Law Attorney. If benefit planning, including Medicaid planning, helps a client financially plan for safe and quality care in a legal way, then it is ethical. However, if I have not identified my client properly, and the benefit planning is used primarily to benefit a child or other non-client, the practice may be unethical. Medicaid is sometimes viewed as a last-resort safety net for the poorest of the poor, and there remains an underlying perception that incorporating Medicaid benefits into a long-term care plan for vulnerable families is gaming the system. But many middle-class families have worked hard

and thought that they, like their parents before them, had saved and invested enough to fund their care. They envision aging in place, only leaving their homes “feet first.” But illness or a decline in the ability to care for themselves can force them into the staggering reality of many thousands of dollars in monthly costs for nursing care. Attorneys need to be conversant in the full range of funding options available. It important to realize that including Medicaid funding in a longterm care plan does not necessarily require their client to become destitute and move to a nursing home. In cases with one spouse in a nursing home and one at home, a proper Medicaid plan is often the safety net that keeps the lights on. Medicaid planning has become a necessary part of navigating the Continuum of Care for many middle-class families.

Housing Options

Accommodating a variety of needs, tastes and budgets The senior living industry can seem overwhelming, but the important thing to keep in mind is that there is a housing option perfect for every person and every situation. Start here to find it. What housing options are available and how can they help me? Active Adult communities offer high-end amenities and loads of activities for older adults who are eager to find like-minded peers. Many adults move to these communities as soon as they are age qualified and enjoy an active lifestyle. Life plan communities are also known as continuing care retirement communities. These communities generally feature care options ranging from independent living to longterm nursing care on one campus. Residents can transfer to higher levels of care as needed. For older adults who want to leave

the burdens of home maintenance behind, independent living communities may be the ideal option. In addition to property upkeep, these communities also generally offer 24-hour security and activities to keep residents engaged. Most independent living communities are rental properties, although some do offer the option for residents to purchase units. Individuals who need assistance with the activities of daily living

may want to consider an assisted living community. In addition to daily assistance, these communities also offer activity programs to fit the interests of every resident. Assisted living communities are an important option for older adults who need some level of help on a daily basis. All of these communities offer standard services including daily meals; supervision; security; and help with the activities of daily Continued on page 54

Considering Retirement Living Is the lifestyle right for you? The questions below will help seniors and their families determine if a retirement living community may be the right choice for them. • Do you feel isolated in your home? • Do you find it difficult to get around your neighborhood? • Do you lack relationships with your neighbors? • Do you have difficulty driving? • Do you wish that someone else would drive you to your errands and appointments? • Do you have a hard time getting out of the house? • Do you frequently go for weeks without seeing friends? • Do you wish you had more of a social life? • Do you miss participating in favorite activities? 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

• Do you find it difficult to run errands alone? • Do you have a difficult time keeping up with home maintenance? • Do you find it challenging to clean your home? • Do you feel unsafe in your home or your neighborhood? • Do you find it hard to climb the stairs into or inside your home? If you answered “yes” to most of

the above questions, you may want to consider retirement living. However, you will also want to consider your current and future health care needs before making a final decision on the type of retirement community you should select. For instance, if you have a chronic health condition, you may want to consider an Assisted Living community, or a community that offers both Independent Living and higher levels of care on the same campus. For many seniors, Retirement Living offers the perfect lifestyle— one with no home maintenance or transportation worries and with plenty of social and recreational opportunities. With a wide array of communities available locally, you are certain to find a community that offers you both the independence you desire and the security you need.

living, or ADLs. ADLs can include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Some communities also offer help with medication management; transportation services; and coordination of medical, health and dental treatments. Finally, whether for a short-term rehabilitation or a long-term medical stay, nursing and rehabilitation centers are a vital senior living option. Nursing and rehabilitation centers serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home. They are also ideal for short-term stays for individuals who are recovering after a surgery or an illness. How should I find a housing option? Use our research. Sourcebook features detailed articles, checklists, featured listings and comprehensive tables in each of our specific housing

sections. Use these resources to begin your search for a community that is right for you and your family. After selecting the type of community that best fits your wants, needs and budget, you should start calling individual properties to request additional information.

Most communities can provide detailed brochures, helpful websites and easy-to-understand financial information. Finding the right community will lead to a happier and healthier life, as well as added peace of mind for family caregivers.

Financial Planning Tips for planning for the future Talking about money is often the third rail of family relationships. Touching on the subject can be extremely dangerous. For too many families, fear and mistrust leads to silence—and that silence can be far more risky than the dreaded money conversation. Families who do not discuss an older relative’s financial situation and lifestyle preferences may be left with fewer choices when a crisis strikes. By using some simple approaches, adult children or other loved ones can make these conversations easier and more productive. Tip #1 – Schedule the conversation. Don’t initiate an impromptu conversation about finances. Schedule the conversation and make sure that all the key players are in the room and ready to address the issues. If you need to, use technology

to allow participants to be virtually present. Make sure the timing is good for your parent or other loved one and that they know they will be asked to discuss their financial situation and their vision for the future. For the initial meeting, simply focus on opening a dialogue and emphasizing that all parties want to make sure that the older adult’s wishes are clear. Tip #2 – Focus on wants/needs initially. For many families, money has been a taboo topic for decades. Instead of asking about retirement savings, accounts and liabilities at the outset, focus first on what your parent or loved one envisions for the future. Ask about how they plan to spend their later years. Ask if they have thought about the “what ifs.” What if they are injured? What if one or both of them develops a long-term illness?

Most adult children know someone who is making difficult care decisions for a parent who didn’t plan ahead. What if they need additional care? Emphasize that you are asking these questions because you love them and want to make sure you can honor their wishes as they age. Tip #3 – Use real world examples. Everyone knows someone whose parent died with no will, leaving behind chaos and family drama. Likewise, most adult children know someone who is making difficult care decisions Continued on page 56

Ways to Live With Purpose Contribute and find meaning Most people want to live with purpose—to make a difference, to leave an impact. Research from the Stanford Graduate School of Education and Encore.org suggests that older adults increasingly are committed to making a difference during their retirement years. The study found that 34 million people over age 50 in the United States prioritize purpose beyond themselves on a daily basis. This means they find meaning in their lives by contributing to their communities. Increasingly, active and engaged older adults want much more than a rocking chair or a beach chair to look forward to in retirement. While some retirees have always dreamed of their eventual volunteer position, others are unsure how to give back and find purpose. How do

for a parent who didn’t plan ahead. Tell your parents these stories. Point out that you love them too much to avoid this difficult conversation. Use whatever tools you can to get them to open up and start talking. Tip #4 – Plan to continue talking. After the initial meeting, plan a follow up that will delve more specifically into finances and future options. Do some research based on what you have learned about your loved one’s wishes. If they want to remain in their long-time home, offer them some information about what home care may cost and what repairs or modifications the home may need. If they are thinking of moving to a retirement community, help them start the research process. As far as financial planning, look

Special Benefits for Veterans Veterans and their families may be eligible for an array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Many benefits are offered to low-income, wartime Veterans specifically. Aid and Attendance Benefit Veterans and survivors who have been found eligible for a VA pension may also be eligible for Aid and Attendance benefits. VA pensions are only awarded to Veterans and their spouses who meet strict eligibility requirements and whose yearly family income is less than the amount set by Congress for qualification. Aid and Attendance benefits are paid in addition to the monthly pension. Veterans who are not eligible for a pension cannot receive these benefits. Since this allowance increases the pension amount, some veterans who were not

eligible for a basic pension because of excessive income may be eligible under these rates. To qualify for Aid and Attendance, Veterans must require the aid of another person to perform the activities of daily living, which include eating, dressing and toileting. Veterans who are bedridden may also be eligible. Patients who are living in a nursing home or who have extremely limited eyesight may qualify as well. Housebound Benefit Veterans or their surviving spouses who are confined to their homes because of permanent disability may be eligible for an additional Housebound benefit. The Housebound benefit is added to the monthly pension amount. Veterans must have already been determined eligible for the pension. Recipients are not eligible to receive both the

Aid and Attendance benefits and the Housebound benefits at the same time. Application Process Veterans and their families may apply for benefits by submitting the required forms to the Pension Management Center that serves their state or by visiting a local benefit office. Information on centers and offices is available online at www.benefits.va.gov/ benefits. Applications should include evidence showing that the applicant needs this benefit, which may include hospital records or a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, and the required form completed by a doctor. Nursing home residents will need to complete an additional form about their living situation. For more information, visit www.benefits.va.gov.

By focusing on the commonalities between older adults and children and encouraging more exposure and understanding, intergenerational programs can build connections and help participants learn and grow at every age. Generations United and LeadingAge teamed up with the Retirement Research Foundation to complete Intergenerational Programming in Senior Housing: From Promise to Practice, a report detailing findings from a year-long study on intergenerational programs in senior housing.

HOUSING to focus on shared interests and common goals. The programs typically leverage the resources that the young and the old can offer each other. Programs are designed so that both the older adults and the children or young adults stand to gain knowledge and connections. Intergenerational programs help to reduce social isolation and increase self-esteem and wellbeing. They also help individuals better understand and appreciate people who are not the same age as them. Ultimately, the programs help to foster good will and build strong communities. According to the study, many retirement communities are incorporating intergenerational activities into their programs—and they are seeing positive results for both residents and youth. Retirement community efforts tend to focus on specific intergenerational activities to engage residents and young people, such as art or technology classes or events. The benefit of these short-term events is that they do not require a major commitment from either staff or participants. However, utilizing single events can make it harder for young people and older residents to form relationships. While the interaction may be positive, it is not the same as building long-term relationships. Some of the most promising programs identified by the study included tutoring and mentoring efforts. These programs allow retirement community residents to support young people by providing guidance and professional development opportunities.

Most common intergenerational activities: Friendly Visiting ��27% Arts ��24% Health/Wellness �� 18% Oral History/Reminiscence Interviewing �� 16% Language/Literacy �� 15%

Mentoring programs have been particularly effective for helping youth in foster care, special education students, and English as a Second Language students. Older adults can help young people improve their language and literacy skills or run after school homework clubs for youth. While the report identified

several significant challenges to implementing intergenerational programming, the benefits have the potential to far outweigh the challenges. Well-run intergenerational programs can help both older adults and young people feel more connected to their communities and more confident in their own worth and abilities.

Get Involved and Reap Rewards Volunteering helps residents, families and communities Most parents are involved to some degree in the parent teacher organizations at their children’s schools. The same concept applies for senior living. When your loved one moves to a retirement community, you should make it a priority to become a part of that community. Volunteering is a great way to get involved. Give freely of your time and your talents, and you and your loved will certainly reap the rewards. Much like schools, senior living communities welcome volunteers from the larger community. They are especially keen to get residents’ family members involved. Volunteers often engage in friendly visiting or help out with special events or fundraising activities. Some volunteers lead discussion groups, accompany residents for walks or share a special talent. Most communities are open to ideas for potential volunteer assistance. Benefits for Residents According to “The Benefits of Volunteering at a Senior Living Community,” by Marissa Salvesen, volunteers are essential to the operation of senior living communities and the well being of residents. “Volunteers can offer much-needed time and assistance, such as helping a resident organize a closet, writing cards or notes, or recording a resident’s life story; all tasks that can help families with the responsibilities

Stay Surrounded With Activity Active adult communities keep residents moving

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.

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.

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 activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. Instead of navigating traffic when going to the gym or beauty shop, residents can often walk a few

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.

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.

LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES

Life Plan Communities Offering diverse lifestyle options Life Plan Communities are properties offering a combination of living options for older adults. These communities offer an active lifestyle for residents, as well as a wide array of amenities and services. Life Plan Communities were formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). Following a two-year research and review process, a task force led by LeadingAge and Mather LifeWays, identified a new name for CCRCs that would resonate with the boomer target audience. The new name better reflects the communities and their residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; individuals who are active, engaged and focused on the future. Living options available at Life Plan Communities may include independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing services. These different levels of care are all offered on a single campus. Residents have the option to have all their current or future healthcare needs met without ever leaving campus. Life Plan Communities afford residents endless opportunities to remain active and involved. These communities generally appeal to young, healthy older adults. Amenities vary widely but often include swimming pools, fitness centers, gardening areas, and golf courses or putting greens. Additionally, residents have access to hundreds of clubs and

Understand Entrance Fees

Knowing the options when paying for life plan communities Most life plan communities 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 life plan community to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: DECLINING SCALE REFUNDS, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this

arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. PARTIALLY REFUNDABLE entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. FULL REFUNDS offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds

The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen and agreement type.

are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are partially refundable or refundable on a declining basis.

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 Daniel S. Ogus, executive vice president and chief operating officer at be.group. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. 3. Understand services covered. Asking about guaranteed services

Joining a life plan community is a serious investment. Consult with your trusted financial adviser. 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. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a Life Plan Community contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit Life Plan

Communities offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources. 6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.” 7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Building Stronger Communities

Life plan community residents seek transparency and engagement Life plan community residents want to be informed and involved in their communities. While this can make decision making more complicated for community administrators and boards, involving residents often leads to a better experience for both residents and staff. In fact, increased resident engagement is associated with improved relationships with management and greater overall satisfaction, according to a national survey from Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging. The survey concluded that to increase resident engagement and satisfaction communities should focus on greater transparency and increased application of resident input.

Key Advantages of Greater Transparency Survey respondents reported that more transparency resulted in: 91% - a greater sense of trust in management 88% - enhanced relationship between management and residents 83% - increased resident satisfaction

increasing and maintaining resident satisfaction is incorporating resident input. Residents want to be informed, and they also want to be listened to. Survey respondents suggested many different methods for successfully incorporating resident input including developing a sense of trust with residents, utilizing resident councils and committees, and providing structured processes for resident engagement. Survey respondents also recommended different approaches to addressing the disadvantages of involving residents in operational decisions. To address potential conflicts of interest, the respondents recommended establishing “guardrails,” or clear boundaries on the extent of resident input allowed. They also suggested presenting a small number of solutions for resident discussion. Despite potential drawbacks, more than 70 percent of respondents reported that resident representation on the board positively affects operations. By keeping residents informed and using their input, life plan communities can keep residents engaged—and make their communities even more engaging.

INDEPENDENT LIVING

HOUSING

Independent Living Communities Providing security with no home maintenance Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or singlefamily development, except that they provide special services, including security. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events, organized gatherings and an array of clubs. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities.

Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities.

Independent living communities typically offer a variety of meal plans. Residents also have the option of preparing their own meals. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services. However, some 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. Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents purchase their 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 communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. To learn more, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. Consumers should carefully research the independent living community options in their target areas or neighborhoods. After requesting and reviewing information from communities, prospective residents should plan on-site visits to each community they are considering.

Affordable Independent Living 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 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

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. HUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

ASSISTED LIVING/PERSONAL CARE

Assisted Living/Personal Care Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living/personal care communities—frequently known as Personal Care Communities in Pennsylvania—offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily living. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living/personal care communities offer basic services including meals, supervision, security and help with personal care needs. For many residents, the help available at an assisted living/personal care community can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living/ personal care 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/ personal care 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/personal care communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have. The services and activities provided in these 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 / personal care 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/personal care 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/ personal care communities include: • Medication management, or assistance with selfadministration of medicine • Coordination of services by outside health care providers Continued on page 97

A PLACE WONDERFUL TO LIVE You’ll find our home has a warm and special character all its own, from the cozy fireplace in the grand room to our pet-friendly environment. Licensed nurses and staff trained in Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss facilitate choice and independence for our residents— giving their families peace of mind. Alzheimer’s and dementia care

• Laundry and linen service • Housekeeping and maintenance • Individualized services While assisted living/personal care 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/personal care communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living/personal care 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. Source: www.ahcancal.org

MEMORY CARE

SPECIALIZED CARE

Know the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s The Alzheimer’s Association provides the common signs Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s, a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s typical? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What’s typical? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook.

3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What’s typical? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show. 4. Confusion with time or place People with Alzheimer’s can lose

track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What’s typical? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. Information from the Alzheimer’s Association website. Visit www.alz.org or call 1.800.272.3900 for information, referrals and support.

interests and abilities of residents?

Are activities available on the weekends or in

the evenings?

STEP 3 – Ask More Questions and Decide Are family and friends able to participate in

resident care?

Do the visiting hours work for the family? What is the discharge policy? Ask about

any situation or condition that would lead a resident to be discharged, including behavior changes and financial circumstances.

Is staff available to escort residents to the

NURSING & REHABILITATION

HOUSING

Nursing & Rehabilitation

Specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance At a nursing care center, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event. Who is Nursing Care for? These communities serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home, or as temporary facilities during a recovery period. Some residents enter a nursing care center for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness, while others enter on a more permanent basis. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private

insurance and personal assets are all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing care centers; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing care center bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and

It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. What to Look for in Nursing Care Before choosing a community, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints.

Ombudsman Programs

Advocates can help residents and families A long-term care ombudsman is an advocate who strives to improve the quality of life for individuals receiving long-term care services. Ombudsmen resolve complaints against long-term care providers through counseling, negotiations and investigations. They can also provide vital information about long-term care providers to help consumers make informed decisions. Using trained volunteers, ombudsman programs make regular visits to long-term care facilities to interact with residents and staff. Finally, ombudsmen strive to educate the community about long-term care issues, train longterm care staff and consult with long-term care providers. The ombudsman program is federally mandated and located in every state. Administered by the Administration on Aging, the 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

ombudsman program has 7,734 volunteers certified to handle complaints and 1,300 paid staff. How can an ombudsman help me? An Ombudsman can offer advice on housing and help with complaint counseling, negotiations, investigations and resolutions. Ombudsmen stand with residents of long-term care communities, ensuring that their voices are heard and their complaints and concerns are addressed. For families who are searching for a nursing facility or an assisted living facility, Ombudsmen can provide vital information about facilities, services, complaint histories, inspection reports, and features to look for while searching for a community. As a consumer of long-term care, Ombudsmen can help you voice any concerns you may have

about current providers. They can also take you through the steps necessary to resolve any complaints. This generally starts with negotiation, during which the two parties sit down to discuss the concern and the Ombudsman serves as a facilitator. In many cases, both parties are able to agree to a solution. If negotiation is not successful or appropriate, Ombudsmen can launch a formal complaint investigation aimed at achieving a resolution to support the resident. Ombudsmen will accept anonymous complaints. In cases where names will be used, residents and/or their families must sign a waiver of the right to confidentiality. For more general information about the program or to find programs in your area, visit Ltcombudsman.org.

Home Care

Receive assistance at 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 oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care includes companion care, home healthcare or skilled nursing care. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of the tasks that

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

HOME CARE

Planning for Care at Home by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff

CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care Association™ Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy

If you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home. What if you become homebound? If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life Care Manager™ can help you access licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and discharge planner if you are in the hospital or a nursing facility and need to decide on and plan for services in your home once you are discharged. However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services.” You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety. Accessing services These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health

114

An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable home care agency and get important questions answered. agency certified to provide Medicarereimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospital-based organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization. Other home care services Many other care services are provided in the home but are not licensed or paid for by Medicare. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you understand what they can offer, access reputable services, and monitor them on an on-going basis.

Non-medical aides, companions and homemakers There are many types of paid care giving services available—often called non-medical aides, companions and homemakers—who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes, and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability insurance and is responsible for all employment taxes and employee bonding. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable agency and get important questions answered, such as: do they check police and driver license records; do they provide supervision; how do they handle cancellations; and how long have they been in business?

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 medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified

and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing,

Your doctor must prescribe medical care at home and create a care plan. 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.

ADULT DAY CENTERS & SERVICES

Adult Day Care

Providing socialization and care Adult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers, as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for at an adult day center while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a provider After locating nearby providers,

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.
