Utilize your resources and ask the right questions 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.

Find helpful articles and easy-to-use checklists in every section.
Assess financial means and corresponding options.
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
Housing Options Page 41
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.

FOUNDER’S NOTE
THE PERFECT FIT The other day, I was talking to a reader who was struggling to decide if she wanted to “age in place” or make the move to one of the senior living options listed in Retirement Living Sourcebook. I shared with her one of my all-time favorite conversations with a reader. I was making a presentation to a community group when a woman approached me. She said, “My husband and I used your publication and visited dozens of the communities listed. We decided we aren’t going to make a move because all these communities are missing one thing that we feel is very important.” I asked, “What would that be?” She responded with a smile and a laugh, “Trick or Treaters!” That was well over 15 years ago, and communities have made monumental strides in developing intergenerational programming and activities (and there are even communities that invite Trick or Treaters on Halloween). However, the important perspective this reader shared is not the significance of Halloween—it’s the value of honoring your personal preferences—whatever they may be. Happily, this reader and her husband were able to

identify and remodel a home in their existing neighborhood that could accommodate them for many years. Using the supportive services listed in our “Aging in Place” and “Resources” section, we all can maintain independence if that is our choice. For others, “Aging in Place” can be challenging and isolating. There are hundreds of senior living options throughout the D.C. Metropolitan region listed in Sourcebook. When learning about all the senior living options available, you should carefully consider your preferences. Review locations, activities and amenities as you search for a community that is the perfect fit. Our cover story this issue features a family that knew exactly what they wanted. Katherine Dawkins was facing multiple medical problems and had suffered a series of dangerous complications. Katherine and her family turned to FutureCare Capital Region, a nursing and rehabilitation center in Landover, MD, to help her regain her strength and reclaim her independence. Katherine entered FutureCare in a wheelchair and walked out with a cane—and her family was thrilled to welcome her home (see page 16). We hope our comprehensive listings, informative articles and helpful checklists lead you to the perfect fit. Happy Hunting! Steve Gurney Founder of Retirement Living Sourcebook

A WELCOME HOME

By Christy Brudin
atherine Dawkins is back on her feet—and back in her home of 48 years. Just a few months ago, that simple accomplishment seemed impossible. Katherine was facing multiple medical problems and had suffered a series of dangerous complications. Katherine and her family turned to FutureCare Capital Region in Landover, MD to help her regain her strength and reclaim her independence. FutureCare Capital Region is a state-of-the-art facility featuring world-class equipment, an expansive Rehabilitation Services Center, and private and semi-private rooms. Opened in April 2018, the new facility also features a dialysis suite with nine chairs capable of treating up to 57 patients. FutureCare Health operates 15 Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing centers across the Baltimore/Washington area, providing patients with clinical expertise, resources and support to help them transition back to independence. FutureCare Pineview serves the D.C. Metropolitan region, offering short-stay rehabilitation, cardiac and stroke rehabilitation, and ventilator and dialysis care just a few miles from the Nation’s capital. A native of South Carolina, Katherine met her husband Freddie when they were children. “We lived one street apart in Gaffney, South Carolina,” she recalled. “We started first grade together and graduated together in 1957. I really have known him all my life.” Shortly after graduation, Katherine and Freddie wed. They will celebrate their 61st wedding anniversary this year. The couple went on to have three children, and they now have seven grandchildren. The Dawkins moved to Washington, D.C., seeking job opportunities a few years after they married. Katherine got a job with the federal government. She worked for the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Labor during her 33 years of federal service. Freddie worked for the D.C. government and also achieved 33 years of service. Katherine and Freddie both retired in 1994, but they continued to live independently in their beloved home in Capital Heights. “We’ve lived in our home for 48 years. We moved there in 1970,” Katherine said. “That is where all my children were raised and my grandchildren.” When Katherine’s health began to deteriorate rapidly, the Dawkins family knew they needed help. A series of health complications, led Katherine to the hospital. She was discharged but ended up returning. After visiting another hospital and again being discharged, Katherine went to her family physician, who sent her to a third hospital. This hospital ultimately concluded that Katherine had suffered a mild stroke and was also experiencing severe complications from shingles. Since Katherine was unable to walk unassisted or speak clearly at this point, the 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

doctors suggested rehabilitation. Shortly after FutureCare Capital Region opened, Katherine became one of the community’s first residents. “I came here in a wheelchair, and I was really out of it. I could walk a little, but I needed assistance. I had to ring for a nurse to help with everything,” Katherine recalled. During her 2-week stay at FutureCare, Katherine gradually regained her strength. “Initially, I did a lot of exercises from the wheelchair,” she said. “I had both physical and occupational therapy. I used bikes and steps and all types of walking devices; I even did some video gaming. There was a lot of variety.” Katherine’s son, Clarence, noted that her treatment spanned many disciplines. “She also received some speech therapy. The assistance she received was really comprehensive. Before she came here, she was only existing. She couldn’t do anything independently.” Katherine participated in FutureCare’s comprehensive, Continued on page 19 17 8/28/18 10:43 AM

The program provides state-of-the-art clinical and rehabilitation services and includes progressive technology and clinical oversight by a physiatrist. A truly modern facility, FutureCare Capital Region features equipment for patients with varying degrees of functionality. Mahima Dhumak, the community’s Director of Rehabilitation, explained that innovative equipment like the anti-gravity treadmill and the gait analyzer help patients regain mobility faster. In fact, throughout the community, residents will find equipment that is both modern and practical—that makes getting better easier. “FutureCare Capital Region is an incredibly innovative community featuring a truly perfect design for a long-term care facility,” explained Administrator David Pipkin. “This is the dream community that has been thirty years in the making.” Katherine benefited from the innovative equipment and the exceptional staff at FutureCare Capital Region. “Everybody who came into my room was friendly and accommodating,” she said. “I had so many needs, and they accommodated them all.” Kia Howard, an occupational therapist, worked with Katherine to improve her ability to take care of herself. “We One of the first residents of FutureCare Capital Region, Katherine worked on upper body strength, balance and endurance,” came to the community in a wheelchair and left walking with only Kia noted. a cane.

RESOURCES MOVING/DOWNSIZING
Moving and Downsizing Professional help can make moving easy Moving can be a daunting task— no matter what your age—but it can be even more overwhelming for older adults who may be leaving a home they have lived in for decades. Luckily, the enormous growth in the senior population has led to the development of a wide variety of professional moving and real estate services designed specifically to help older adults and their families. Senior Move Managers®, Senior Real Estate Specialists®, and Certified Senior Housing Professionals are just a few of the professionals who are specially trained to help seniors with all the challenges of moving and downsizing. Senior Move Managers assist older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They can also help families who wish to declutter or reorganize a home to better age in place. These professionals provide a multi-faceted approach to the move process, from space planning in the beginning to post-move support and advocacy. By addressing all aspects of the moving process, Senior Move Managers minimize the chaos and stress of moving. From initial planning to downsizing to the physical aspects of moving, Senior Move Managers create a comprehensive plan that includes selling or disposing of unwanted items and setting up the new residence. Many Senior Move Managers are also movers. Others work closely with a reputable local moving company to complete that aspect of the job. Senior Real Estate Specialists are Realtors who are specially trained to manage the sale of a home for consumers over the age of 50. They bring targeted knowledge, senior experience and marketing savvy to each sale. These specialists have extensive knowledge about everything from reverse mortgages and the importance of universal design to the 20 18-0982-01.indd 20

uses of pensions, 401k accounts and IRAs in real estate transactions. Finally, Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) are real estate professionals who have completed extensive coursework on how best to assist older adults and their families in the home buying or selling process. CSHPs understand that late-in-life moves can be more complicated and require greater physical and emotional energy than traditional moves. They are trained to help older adults navigate the complexities of moving by addressing their fears, concerns, needs and goals. The first step in every move process should be to evaluate the current living situation and needs. Then consumers can contact the many local professionals to inquire about services and costs. Most professionals offer a diverse menu of services, ranging from full service
moves to help with particular aspects of moving, buying or selling. Use the checklist at the end of this section to interview professionals and carefully document their answers. Using this information, it will be simple to choose the right professional for the job. While the moving process may never be fun, there is no longer any reason for it to be difficult. Older adults and their loved ones can now let specially trained professionals handle all the details of selling, buying and moving— from cleaning out the cluttered basement to finding the perfect new place for every piece of treasured furniture. With professional help, every move can be a smooth one.

ELDER LAW RESOURCES
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 Source: www.naela.org

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

Find an Elder Law Provider Use our step-by-step guide:
STEP 1 – KNOW YOUR NEEDS ■ Organize and outline all the information pertinent to your situation. ■ If you are calling on behalf of a loved one, make sure that you have as many specific details as possible. STEP 2 – CALL ATTORNEYS ■ Use our list to call some attorneys. ■ It is not unusual to speak only to an assistant during an initial call. Here are some questions to ask this person: ■ How long has the attorney been in practice? ■ Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of law? ■ How long has he or she been in this field? ■ What percentage of his or her practice is devoted to Elder or Special Needs Law? ■ Is there a fee for the first consultation, and if so how much is it? ■ Given the nature of your problem, what information should you bring with you to the initial consultation? STEP 3 – INITIAL CONSULTATION ■ When you have found a prospective attorney, make an appointment to see him or her. After you have explained your situation, ask: ■ What will it take to resolve it? ■ Are there any alternate courses of action? ■ What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? ■ How many attorneys are in the office? ■ Who will handle the case?
■ Has that attorney handled matters of this kind in the past? ■ If a trial may be involved, does the attorney do trial work? If not, who does the trial work? If so, how many trials has he or she handled? ■ Is that attorney a member of the local bar association, a health advocacy committee, or trust and estates committee? ■ What is the estimate of the cost to resolve your problem and how long will it take? STEP 4 – DISCUSSING FEES ■ There are many different ways of charging fees and each attorney will choose to work differently. Be aware of how your attorney charges. Ask: ■ Do you bill weekly, monthly, or upon completion of work? ■ Do you charge by the hour? Are there different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries? ■ Is there a flat fee for this service? ■ Will there be any out-of-pocket expenses (charges for copies, postage, messenger fees, court fees, deposition fees and other such costs)? ■ Do you require a retainer? STEP 5 – MAKE IT A GOOD EXPERIENCE ■ Once you decide to hire an attorney, ask that your arrangement be put in writing. A positive and open relationship between an attorney and a client benefits everyone. The key is communication. Source: National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys

Reverse mortgages A powerful retirement option By Bill Hornbeck, CEO, Senior Lifestyle Mortgage With the recent revisions and protections put in place by the Federal Housing Administration and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, reverse mortgage loans are gaining increasing acceptance from borrowers and financial advisors alike. Using home equity to pay for elder health care costs and improve retirement income is now recognized as a legitimate and practical financial tool. Although most consumers recognize the name of the program as the Reverse Mortgage Loan, the program is more formally known as the FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM (pronounced “heck-em”). The flexibility of the reverse mortgage home equity loan is especially welcome when borrowers learn that they can choose to reduce the debt over time, just as with a regular forward mortgage. Every borrower is given the option to pay loan interest at any time, to pay down loan principal, or to make no monthly loan payments at all. In fact, reverse mortgages compare favorably to the standard Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) commonly provided by local banks. The HECM loan provides two cashout options for borrowers. The first option enables eligible homeowners to receive cash each month by borrowing available home equity in a scheduled monthly amount. The second option is to establish a HECM Line of Credit that creates a larger pool of readily available funds. Unlike a regular bank HELOC, the HECM can never be canceled or modified because of a reduction in the home value. The advantage of the HECM Line of Credit is the flexibility that it gives to families, allowing them to better manage the expenses of in-home health care and other emergencies. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-0982-06.indd 33
Using home equity to pay for elder health care costs and improve retirement income is now recognized as a legitimate and practical financial tool.
With a line of credit in place, the family can use home equity funds as needed without a requirement to make monthly mortgage payments. The existing loan balance will become due and payable when the last remaining borrower sells the home, moves away or dies. When the family decides to sell the home, they then pay off the loan balance and retain any profits from the sale. It is important to note that the borrower is responsible for complying with the loan terms, which include regular maintenance of the home and the payment of property taxes, hazard insurance premiums, and any Home Owner’s Association dues. It has been said that the HECM is the most misunderstood financial product in the industry. However, industry research shows that senior homeowners are rapidly embracing this unique financial tool as a method
for extracting much-needed cash from their homes. In many retirement scenarios, home equity is the largest remaining asset of homeowners. As life expectancies continue to increase and elder healthcare costs continue to rise, many retirees find that accessing home equity is the best way to fund senior lifestyle expenses.

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 residents—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 activities—from art classes to yoga classes and from drama clubs to walking groups. Residents are also very involved in the operation and management of Life Plan
Communities through resident boards or councils. Finally, Life Plan Communities are generally integrated into the larger community. With active residents, these communities can focus on giving back and acting as a socially responsible neighbor. Life Plan Communities give older adults the freedom and security to live active, healthy lives. They are the perfect option for individuals who want to plan ahead for future care needs, while focusing on enjoying every day.

Life Plan Resident Rights A model Bill of Rights The National Continuing Care Residents’ Association (NaCCRA) developed a model bill of rights that applies to all residents of Life Plan Communities (formerly known as continuing care retirement communities). NaCCRA is made up of senior citizens who live in Life Plan Communities throughout the United States. In keeping with their goal to make sure that Life Plan Communities are as good as they can be, for current residents as well as future residents, NaCCRA developed a model bill of rights that can be adopted by Life Plan Communities throughout the country. Several states have already enacted a legislative Bill of Rights for Life Plan Community residents. Model Bill of Rights The residents of a Life Plan Community have the right to: 1. Expect full, prompt and complete fulfillment by the management of those services delineated in their contracts. 2. Establish, organize, fund, develop by-laws for, and operate a resident association. 3. Freely assemble, with or without the participation of management and staff. 4. Select and appoint, in accordance with the resident association’s own by-laws, at least three members of the corporate governing board. 5. Be kept informed by the administration, on an ongoing basis, about all significant issues of management, which directly affect residents’ well-being or their financial investment. 6. Full disclosure of the finances of the corporation, presented at least on an annual basis. 7. A plain English list of those services guaranteed by the contract, as well as a list of those services offered by the community but not guaranteed in the contract. 42 18-0981-01.indd 42
8. Visit the assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, as well as all the amenities associated with independent living, before signing a contract. 9. Be informed in advance of, and to comment on, changes in the delivery of services, including changes in staffing levels. 10. Be informed, at least a month in advance of implementation, about any changes in fees. 11. Participate directly in the governance of the residents association through communication, discussion, and decision-making in open meetings. 12. Raise issues concerning their own well-being, their quality of life, and the sufficiency of their involvement in community life and governance, and to advocate openly for issues of concern to them. 13. Start up and operate informal activities of any kind, so long as they do not impact negatively on the lives of others, violate the law, interfere with other activities in community space and facilities, or require resident association funds. 14. Organize and seek resident association recognition of a new committee or other resident activity needing community facilities or resident association funds. 15. All the benefits of living in the
community, including all the services and amenities on offer, and all regulations applying to community life, provided and enforced impartially and without prejudice, regardless of a resident’s age, gender, race, economic status, professional background, sexual orientation, past or present advocacy of issues and policies applying to community life and governance, past or present activism in the polity outside of the retirement community, or past or present service on boards or committees. 16. Select, based on availability and the resident’s financial qualifications, an independent living apartment of the resident’s choice and to appoint and furnish it to the resident’s taste, within the provisions of the lifecare contract and fire and safety regulations. 17. Participate as fully and meaningfully as possible. When the need to move to an assisted living facility or skilled nursing unit comes under discussion, family members designated by the resident have the right to be kept informed of the resident’s condition and care plan. Residents or their designated medical proxies have the right to refuse medications and treatments. Source: www.naccra.com

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 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-0981-01.indd 45
way you eat, you will lose weight. But not only will exercise jumpstart that weight loss, it also will help keep the weight off. I advise my patients to get a calendar, and each Sunday, circle the five days of the week when they will work out. They should also weigh themselves each morning and write that number on the corresponding date. One basic rule of exercise: do an activity that makes you sweat and do it for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, health cannot be achieved without proper nutrition. We need the appropriate fuel to think clearly and function at peak level. One of the worst things that we can do is to skip breakfast. When people skip
breakfast, the body has to get its fuel from muscle and not from fat. Six small meals a day maximize your metabolism. I advise patients to eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal. Ultimately, getting healthier is a journey. This journey takes commitment, but you do not have to take it alone. Talk to your doctor. They will provide plenty of practical, personalized advice on getting healthier. By working with your primary care physician, you can reach your goal safely and effectively. Dr. Vivek Sinha is the chief medical officer at Belleview Medical Partners. 45 8/27/18 10:37 AM

RESOURCES
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 Needs Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings 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-Fee-for-Service Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans. These plans are offered by insurance companies and 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-0981-01.indd 49
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 2018 is $134 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, 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 employerbased 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 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 is $134 per month in 2018, and a monthly premium for the Advantage plan. Enrollees may also Continued on page 54 49 8/27/18 10:37 AM

HOUSING LIFE PLAN 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 (CCRCs), also known as life plan communities, offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This setting is generally attractive to seniors who like to plan ahead. CCRCs are most useful for seniors who can come in at the independent living level and move through higher levels of care as needed over time. “The CCRC is a promise of future care, inclusive of the various levels,” says Marc Herrera, vice president of skilled nursing administration and risk management at be.group, an operator of Southern California retirement communities. “All other types of senior living are month-to- month arrangements.” Most CCRCs are nonprofit organizations with business models surrounding 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 long-term 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 healthrelated services. Type A contracts 52 18-0981-01.indd 52
The financial stability of the community and the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly.
provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements) As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower entrance fee than Type A, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements) Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay
as you go,” says Herrera. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care. Steps before you sign Regardless of the environment you choose, moving to a senior living community is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and even more research. Here are some important steps to take before signing a contract. Continued on page 55 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Continued from page 49 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. Getting Additional Coverage: Prescription Coverage and Medigap Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D) are run by private companies approved by Medicare. Enrollees who would like to receive this additional coverage must select and enroll in a plan. There is a monthly premium for these plans. For those who have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, prescription drug coverage is often already included. Supplemental coverage is available to help pay some of the healthcare costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, including copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. These Medigap Policies are offered by private companies. When beneficiaries have a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved 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. Individuals enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, cannot use Medigap Insurance to pay for plan costs like copayments, deductibles and premiums. In fact, it is illegal for anyone to sell Advantage Plan customers a Medigap policy unless they are switching back to Original Medicare. 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.

The Right Contract ... Continued from page 52
1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. Understand services 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. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 8. Explore, visit, ask questions, repeat. “We want [potential residents] to make the right decision,” says Ogus. “We want them to choose us, but we’d rather them not choose us if it’s not the right decision for them. An unhappy resident can spoil it for the rest of the community. It should be a lifestyle decision, not a sentence.”

LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES HOUSING
Time to Connect Retirement Living Provides Genuine Communities Loneliness is not an inevitable part of aging. Even in our increasingly fast-paced, all-digital world, seniors can make real-world connections and become part of a true community. At local retirement living communities, residents are making friends and building bonds. Many older adults complain that staying connected with family and friends—or making new connections—becomes more difficult as they age. Modern families are extremely mobile, and children and grandchildren often live at great distances from where they grew up. Many seniors lose spouses or other loved ones as they age. Job opportunities and other demands may force lifelong friends to move. In a world where neighbors are anonymous and friends are only friends online, retirement communities stand out for their genuine sense of community. Retirement communities are often comparable to small villages or college campuses; they offer easy access to both friends and activities. At any of the Mid-Atlantic’s hundreds of retirement communities, residents will find likeminded peers living nearby who are eager to welcome new friends. Residents will also discover an array of activities available just steps from their door, allowing them to enjoy old hobbies and discover new interests. While there is undoubtedly a local community to fit every senior’s unique needs and interests, selecting from among the many great options can be a challenge. Consumers should first familiarize themselves with the available retirement living options— from life plan communities to nursing and rehabilitation centers. The wide range of retirement living options starts with life plan communities, also known as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). These communities generally feature care 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-0981-02.indd 61
options ranging from independent living to long-term nursing care on one campus. Residents can transfer to higher levels of care as needed and enjoy a wide array of amenities and activities. Most life plan communities have established requirements for new residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Life plan communities generally offer a range of contract options. For seniors 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. Costs and services vary widely at these communities, and consumers should carefully review what is covered in the monthly fees. Individuals who need assistance with the activities of daily living— including eating, dressing, walking, transferring and toileting—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. The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the residents. Some communities specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. Finally, whether for a short-term rehabilitation or a long-term medical stay, nursing and rehabilitation centers are a vital senior living option. These centers are equipped to help residents heal and/or maintain their best quality of life and often feature a full schedule of activities. At nursing facilities, care is administered by medical professionals under the direction of a physician. Many of these facilities also offer sub-acute care, respite care and rehabilitation.
In a world where neighbors are anonymous and friends are only friends online, retirement communities stand out for their genuine sense of community. Rehabilitation services can be particularly important for individuals who are recovering from surgery or an illness. After selecting the type of community that best fits their wants, needs and budget, retirees should start calling individual communities to request additional information. Most communities can provide detailed brochures and easy-to-understand financial information. Once they have narrowed their search down to a few communities, potential residents should plan on-site visits with friends or relatives. Only by visiting a community in person can individuals get a true feel for the lifestyle residents enjoy. In particular, potential residents should carefully review the physical environment of any facility—paying special attention to everything from cleanliness to curb appeal. Visitors should take time to observe the interactions between staff members and residents. Seniors should also speak directly with current residents, as well as staff members. Ultimately, the most important question any future resident can ask is whether or not they can envision this community as home. More information about all these options is included throughout SourceBook. To search for communities near you, please visit retirementlivingsourcebook.com. 61 8/24/18 11:29 AM

MILITARY AFFILIATED HOUSING HOUSING
Services for Veterans Helping those who served 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 checkups to long-term care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans. Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after
September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in 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 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 longContinued on page 66

Continued from page 63 term care in some instances. Longterm 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 longterm care. The Aid and Attendance Allowance is an additional monthly monetary benefit provided by the VA for certain Veterans who receive
a pension. To be eligible, Veterans must: • Require the help of another person for everyday personal care needs (such as bathing, dressing, or toileting); or • Be bedridden; or • Live in a nursing home and be physically or mentally incapacitated; or • Have poor eyesight (5/200 corrected visual acuity or less in both eyes). The VA also offers a Housebound Allowance to certain eligible Veterans who are restricted to their residence because of a permanent disability. This additional monthly monetary benefit can be used to help pay for needed care services provided in the Veteran’s home. To apply for either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits, Veterans must send a written statement, including a report from their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office. Additional information is available at
www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www. myhealth.va.gov or by calling the VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387).

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. 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

Considering Independent Living Questions for consumers The questions below will help seniors and their families determine if an Independent Living community may be the right choice for them. • Do you feel isolated in your home? • Do you fi nd it diffi cult to get around your neighborhood? • Do you lack relationships with your neighbors? • Do you have diffi culty driving? • Do you wish that someone else would drive you to your errands and appointments? • Do you have a hard time getting out of the house? • Do you frequently go for weeks without seeing friends? • Do you wish you had more of a social life? • Do you miss participating in favorite activities?
• Do you fi nd it diffi cult to run errands alone? • Do you have a diffi cult time keeping up with home maintenance? • Do you fi nd it challenging to clean your home? • Do you feel unsafe in your home or your neighborhood? • Do you fi nd it hard to climb the stairs into or inside your home? If you answered “yes” to most of the above questions, you may want to consider Independent Living. However, you will also want to consider your current and future health care needs before making a final decision. For instance, if you have a chronic health condition, you may want to consider an Assisted Living community, or a community that offers both Independent Living and higher levels of care on the same campus.
For many seniors, Independent Living offers the perfect lifestyle.
For many seniors, Independent Living offers the perfect lifestyle— one with no home maintenance or transportation worries and with plenty of social and recreational opportunities.

INDEPENDENT LIVING HOUSING
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 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

Pumped Up New guidelines mean we should all pay more attention to our blood pressure By Sonela Skenderi, DO, FACC Mercy Cardiology at Nazareth Hospital Recently, the American Heart Association redefined its guidelines for measuring and diagnosing cardiovascular disease, increasing the number of Americans with hypertension (high blood pressure) by 27 million. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the country, and hypertension is one of the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease. To get ahead of cardiovascular disease, you should start blood pressure screenings around age 20 and follow up every two years. The new guidelines represent a national push to better detect, measure and treat cardiovascular disease early, when
treatment is most effective. Since hypertension has no visible symptoms, many cases go unnoticed and untreated until complications, such as stroke or heart attack, occurs. To raise awareness for early intervention, the new guidelines lower the threshold for diagnosing hypertension. Previously, hypertension was defined as a reading of 140 over 90 and “elevated� blood pressure was 130 over 80. Now, hypertension begins at 130 over 80 and elevated blood pressure begins around 120 over 80. The new guidelines account for health risks and complications that occur Continued on page 84

in the early stages of the disease and place increased importance on monitoring and early detection. While the advanced stages of hypertension often require more advanced treatment — such as medication — preventive, nonpharmaceutical treatments are often your best bet to improve your cardiovascular health early on. With some simple lifestyle changes, you can significantly decrease your chances of developing hypertension. Eat better. If you really commit, healthy eating can improve your systolic blood pressure by as much as 11 “points” within one month or so. Establish a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Eat foods (not supplements) high in potassium, such as bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes and yogurt. Avoid foods with large amounts of saturated fats or sodium, and avoid excessive alcohol use.
Exercise regularly. Thirty minutes of exercise, five days per week, can improve your blood pressure by four “points.” Test your blood pressure at home. You can use a digital home monitor or visit your local pharmacy to track your blood pressure between doctor visits. Measure your blood pressure with a validated instrument, using a well-positioned cuff while you are in a relaxed state. Avoid exercise or alcohol 30 minutes prior, and take readings in the morning and evening. This can give your physician a more accurate reading and better insight into diagnosis and treatment. While the new guidelines create a uniform process for taking accurate blood pressure readings, patients themselves can sometimes create unreliable measurements. Patients with “white coat syndrome” feel nervous during a checkup and, as a result, experience elevated blood pressure when measured in a physician’s office. On the other
hand, some patients with “masked hypertension” have normal readings in the office but spike in other times or settings. Both instances can lead to inaccurate diagnoses, so home monitoring can be very helpful. Regular monitoring and healthy lifestyle changes can be the keys to managing your blood pressure and treating hypertension early, before medication becomes necessary. Talk to your physician to schedule a blood pressure screening.

Assisted Living Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living communities offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily activities. 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
Elegant Living
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

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 Continued on page 87

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 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

Caring for an Aging Parent 6 Hidden Costs By Jullie Gray, MSW, LICSW, CMC – Aging Life Care Association™ Member and Fellow of the Leadership Academy Adult children across the country belong to the sandwich generation. Like salami and the cheese, they feel squished between the responsibilities of their careers, elder care and raising their kids. Often, family caregivers sacrifice their own well-being and financial security to help their parents grow old gracefully. The situation isn’t easing anytime soon. The Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about trends, estimates that ten thousand people are now turning 65 every day. This so-called “silver tsunami” will continue for the next three decades. At the same time, the Center on an Aging Society at Georgetown University reports that boomers age 65 and older are expected to increase at
a 2.3% rate while the number of family members available to care for them will increase at less than 1%. The pressure on families now and in the future, particularly women, is immense. Caregiving for an aging loved one isn’t all doom and gloom. The rewards of caregiving are real but so are the hidden costs. On the plus side, adult children see their role as “giving back” to someone special. The payoff is not monetary, but it is an opportunity to care for a person who has been an important figure in their life – a mom who raised them alone or a dad who never let them down. Finding purpose and meaning through this labor of love makes all the work worth the time and effort.
But being a family caregiver is hard work. It demands a lot of time, patience, and persistence. Those who start with realistic expectations reach out for help and plan ahead. They fare much better through the ups and downs than those who don’t. The hidden costs of caring for a family member should be considered and planned for carefully. What are the Six Hidden Costs? 1. Dead-end career The demands of taking care of a parent can impact productivity and increase absenteeism for the caregiver.

appear out of the blue seriously impacts opportunities for advancement. It’s hard to shine at work when you are constantly leaving early, texting a homecare aide about daily routines or negotiating with your siblings about who is responsible for what. 2. Financial safety net vanishes A 2011 study by Met Life estimated that men who reduced work hours to provide care for parents lost almost $127,000 in wages and earned $38,000 less in Social Security lifetime benefits. If they stopped working altogether, men gave up about $284,000 in wages, pension, and Social Security benefits over their lifetime. Women, on the other hand, fare even worse financially and are more at risk for poverty as a result of their efforts. Women typically need to cut back at work or stop working altogether. The Met Life study estimated that women who reduce
their hours lose more than $121, 000 in lifetime wages and earn $64,000 less in Social Security benefits over their lifetime. Leaving the workforce to care for a parent hits a woman’s pocketbook even harder than a man’s. A whopping shortfall of $324,000 includes wages, pension and social

this is when friendships matter most. It may be all a daughter can do to get home in time to throw together a quick microwaved meal, pay the bills so the lights stay on and help her kids get their homework done. For now, she reasons, friendships must take a back seat. Forget about the family summer cabin frequented each year, the annual girls’ weekend away or a short ski trip. A common caregiver refrain is, “there just isn’t enough time to take a break.” 4. Stress overload It’s a domino effect. The more time family caregivers spend putting the needs of others first, the more their resilience slips away. It doesn’t help that most stumble into their role with little preparation, knowledge or support about how to manage all of the complex issues. This can set up well-meaning family members to feel like failures. Many quickly experience frustration, feel drained, guilty, helpless
or completely burned out. Ayala Pines, a researcher on the subject of burnout, defines it as “a state where highly committed individuals lose their spirit.” We’re not talking about just a little stress here—burnout occurs when caregiving no longer feels meaningful because of the emotional overload and numbing exhaustion! 5. Illness strikes Failing to take time off to recharge and refocus triggers a deep stress reaction. Physical health begins to suffer. Many caregivers neglect their annual screening exams and simply ignore their own medical problems allowing them to fester for far too long. The Family Caregiver Alliance warns that chronic conditions including heart disease, cancer, diabetes and arthritis occur at nearly twice the rate compared to non-caregivers. Studies show that caregivers are also at higher risk for premature death – as much as 63% higher if they are experiencing “caregiver strain.”
6. Emotional well-being suffers Melancholy can set in and overwhelm even those who, under normal circumstances, project a sunny attitude. Sadness, loneliness, and anger are common feelings everyone experiences now and then. But it’s a problem when these negative feelings persist relentlessly day after day. Tending to someone with heavy care needs or a parent suffering from dementia tests even the most patient person. Those who perceive they are all alone on their caregiving journey are at highest risk for experiencing full-blown depression and anxiety. Help Is Just a Phone Call Away Marshaling help is possible and necessary. Ideally, families should meet with an expert to plan ahead before starting down the caregiving path. An assessment of needs, available resources and creating an action plan to address challenges can help family members assume control of the situation.

too late. When exhaustion takes a foothold, a consultation with an expert should be the first order of business. What are the options for help? Aging Life Care™ managers offer a holistic perspective and can forge a positive path forward. For some families, meeting one or two times with an Aging Life Care™ manager is enough to get things moving back on track. If desired, they can also coordinate day to day tasks, allowing adult daughters and sons to focus on their careers and the responsibilities of parenting their own children. Skillful problem solvers, these professionals take charge of those inevitable crises just as easily as routine needs. To find one, go to aginglifecare.org and search for an expert in your area. Other options include reaching out to a social worker at the Alzheimer’s Association, a Senior Center or your local Area Agency on Aging.

ASSISTED LIVING HOUSING
Small Assisted Living Homes Residential communities offer a close-knit lifestyle Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and
serving of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ across regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, longterm care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. As with any community, it is important to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families. Be sure that you are given specific information about caregiver training, community amenities and costs.

ASSISTED LIVING HOUSING
Focusing on Individuals Understand person-centered living The non-profit national advocacy organization previously known as the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL) is now known as CCALAdvancing Person-Centered Living. They helped coin the term “personcentered living” that is now commonly heard in the assisted living and personal care field. While the term may be familiar to professionals, it may still be confusing to consumers who are just beginning to investigate assisted living/personal care options. So what is person-centered living? CCAL coined the term personcentered living (PCL) as a reminder that as people grow older or have disabilities they should not experience a loss of humanity or choice regardless of where they live. PCL means living as one chooses to. PCL is based on humanistic beliefs
that every individual has a unique background, human experience, and the right to determine how to live his/ her own life. PCL is also relationshipbased and focused on supporting the individual’s emotional, social, physical and spiritual well being (e.g., belonging, experiencing a continuation of self-worth, purpose, meaning, enjoyment, comfort and opportunities for growth). CCAL upholds the PCL principle, “Nothing About Me Without Me.” This simple phrase means that every elder and individual with a disability is provided choice, privacy, dignity, respect, independence and autonomy. Elders and individuals with disabilities have the right to determine their needs; decide how best to have those needs met; and give feedback about the quality and
QUALITY
nature of the care, services and supports they receive. If support is needed, services are centered on their personal preferences and values that honor their selfhood. A person-centered culture is nurturing, empowering and respectful, and it optimizes the well being of not only the elder or individual with a disability but also the family and larger caregiving and/or services and support network. Ultimately, person-centered living means being kind, respectful and sensitive to those being served and honoring their right to make their own choices, regardless of the setting.

Be a Balanced Caregiver By Jody Gastfriend, LICSW Caring for a parent, grandparent, spouse or loved one has its challenges and rewards. It can be gratifying as well as frustrating, with no clear roadmap on how to proceed. More than 65 million people in the United States care for a parent or disabled adult, and of those caregivers, more than a third still have minor children living at home. Middle-aged adults may find themselves sandwiched between limit testing teenagers, pushing for more independence, and aging parents, who want to hold onto the independence they still have. Is there a way for caregivers, whether you are a daughter, son, spouse or partner, to juggle it all without feeling depleted and guilt-ridden? The answer is yes, but it takes time, patience, forethought and compassion – for
yourself as well as everyone else. Sometimes, the best thing a caregiver can do is to take a step back, breathe deeply and evaluate their routine. Consider how caregiving rituals can be handled more effectively, without abandoning career, family and other aspects of life. Here are few things to consider: 1. Have conversations early and often. Unless your loved ones are completely incapacitated, you must include them in discussions about their care and accommodations. Approach decision-making from a place of love and respect. Many caregivers get frustrated by their parent or grandparent’s resistance to help. But that resistance may be a need to exert some control, especially at a time when things feel
out of control. If you can help them understand why you feel they need a home health aide, a certain medical specialist, a safety-related home renovation or even a new domicile, you often get better participation in making the change. Rarely are plans made in just one conversation. It may be a series of conversations, lasting months or even years. Be patient and recognize that your loved one has the right to make decisions, even if you think they are bad ones. 2. Talk about money. Nobody likes to talk about money, but it simply must be done. When it comes to eldercare, finances determine options. Do your parents or grandparents have long-term care insurance? Do Continued on page 103

CARING FOR THEM MEANS
Caring for You Providing day-to-day care for an aging parent or other loved one can be extremely stressful. Many adults face this challenge while working full-time, raising their own children, or paying for college. Mounting responsibilities can take their toll, and caregivers sometimes fail to notice the effects of such stress in their own lives.
Where can I turn for help?
The experts at Chesterbrook Residences are here for your whole family. We help meet the assisted living needs of your loved one and ensure that your families can be just that—sons and daughters, nieces and nephews. We can also connect you with local resources including elder law attorneys, physicians, realtors, and more. You don’t have to do this alone.
Picture your family at Chesterbrook Residences!

they have savings to liquidate or assets they’re willing to sell? (The family home may be non-negotiable, but what about the car your senior relatives no longer drive?) What kind of care and services can they afford? Keep in mind that home care costs around $20/hour and Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care in a nursing home—which averages over $80,000 a year. If you’ve been operating on the assumption that long-term decisions can be made “when the time comes,” you may be in for a harsh dose of reality. There’s no point in spinning your wheels, going over choices that just aren’t viable for your family. 3. Don’t try to do it all. In many cases, a nearby family member, perhaps you, will take on caretaking duties, thinking you can or should be able to handle it all. Plus, Mom really

trusts and relies on you and wouldn’t feel comfortable with a stranger in the home. Things may go along fine for a while, but as the picture turns more complicated, you may quickly become overwhelmed and ineffective. Go ahead and step up if you’re the one who lives closest or has the most time or financial wherewithal to deal with an initial crisis. But then, assess the situation and quickly marshal your resources. Call a family meeting—via Skype, if need be—and find out what other family members are willing and able to do. 4. Manage medications and therapies. Develop a simple system to track medication, prescribed exercises, nutritional supplements and other health related needs. There are websites that allow for information-sharing among family caregivers, which can be great. But a simple calendar or spreadsheet along with pre-filled pill boxes can also work. Make sure the system is user-friendly for all who will rely on
it. Leave a spot for notes to indicate when medications must be refilled or supplies replenished. Keep in mind that most paid caregivers, unless they are nurses, are not allowed to administer medication—in other words, hand out pills. But caregivers can remind people to take their medication and this is often all that is needed. 5. Explore community resources. Finding a handicap-accessible transportation service to take your mom to the hairdresser or to visit friends can go a long way toward maintaining her mental and emotional well-being. If Mom can’t leave the house, look into religious organizations, senior centers and local areas on aging that offer home supports or social calls. If your senior feels isolated and needs more company, sometimes variety can spice up life. Many colleges and schools of social work have volunteer programs for students interested in aging studies.

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.

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

And yes, we have memory care, but it’s a bit more comprehensive and thoughtful. The Landing—assisted living and memory care with a whole lotta heart. www.TheLandingOfSilverSpring.com LANDOW HOUSE

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.

Understanding Senior Living A Glossary of Key Terms Like most industries, the senior living industry is ripe with acronyms and “insider” terms that can quickly become overwhelming.

This glossary is a compilation of key terms from all of our articles to help readers quickly find—and define— terms they may hear while calling providers or performing additional research.

NURSING & REHABILITATION HOUSING
Nursing & Rehabilitation Specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance At a nursing home, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event. Who is Nursing Care for? These homes serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home, or as temporary facilities during a recovery period. Some enter a nursing home for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness, while others enter on a more permanent basis. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and personal assets are
all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 – 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the

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

Dispelling Nursing Care Myths Get the facts Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation centers have advanced dramatically in terms of clinical practices and the overall approach to providing for the needs and wants of residents. Yet, many misperceptions about “nursing homes” persist. Separating fact from fiction will help you stay open to all of your care options. Some common myths and the corresponding facts are detailed below. Myth: Nursing and post-acute care centers are like hospitals. Fact: While Skilled Nursing and post-acute care centers do offer in-depth medical care, they are very 146 18-0981-09.indd 146
different from hospitals. Today’s centers offer home-like comforts and a less-structured atmosphere. Skilled Nursing Care centers are residentand community-focused, with ample opportunities for physical and social stimulation. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care center patients never leave or go out on trips. Fact: Skilled Nursing Care centers care for a variety of patients, each with different needs. Some will stay only for a month recovering from an injury or illness; other patients, like those with serious medical conditions, might require a lengthier stay of
a year or more. Additionally, many residents are able to leave the center for an outing or to visit loved ones or friends. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care center patients seem confused. Fact: As people age, many slow down physically, get tired more easily, or are not able to express themselves as well as they once did. These tendencies are normal and expected. Some residents do suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. By providing professional, compassionate care, Skilled Nursing Care centers often help a person stabilize and become their old Continued on page 147 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Paying for Nursing Home Care Nursing home care can be expensive. There are many ways you can pay for nursing home care. For example, you can use your own money, you may be able to get help from your state, or you may use longterm care insurance. Most people who enter nursing homes begin by paying for their care out-of-pocket. As you use your resources (like bank accounts and stocks) over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid. Will Medicare pay for nursing home care? Medicare generally doesn’t cover longterm care stays in a nursing home. Even if it doesn’t cover nursing home care, you’ll need health coverage for hospital care, doctor services, and medical supplies while you’re in the nursing home. Part A covers skilled care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Skilled care is nursing and therapy care that can only be safely and effectively performed by, or under the supervision of, professionals or technical personnel. It’s health care given when you need skilled nursing or skilled therapies to treat, manage,
Dispelling Nursing Care Myths … Continued from page 146 self again. Myth: Residents cannot make their own decisions. Fact: It is a resident’s legal right to make choices regarding activities, daily routines, health care and other aspects of life. Resident councils provide residents a say in care. These self-governing bodies of residents voice concerns to staff. Residents are also encouraged to prepare advance directives to specify and safeguard care preferences in the event they are unable to express their wishes. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care centers are unreasonably expensive. Fact: Long term and post-hospital care costs vary, depending upon the level of care provided and where the 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

and observe your condition, and evaluate your care. Medicare covers certain daily skilled care services on a short-term basis (up to 100 days in a benefit period). For more information on Medicare’s coverage of SNF care, visit Medicare. gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800633-4227). Personal resources You can use your personal money and savings to pay for nursing home care. Some insurance companies let you use your life insurance policy to pay for long-term care. Ask your insurance agent how this works. Important: Be sure to get help before using either of these options. There are important issues you need to understand. Help from your state (Medicaid) Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Most, but not all, nursing homes accept Medicaid payment. Even if you pay out-of-pocket or with long-term care insurance, you eventually may “spend down” your assets while you’re at center is located. Overall, Skilled Nursing Care centers represent the lowest cost setting for 24-hour professional skilled nursing and rehabilitative care for both short and long term stays. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care centers do not provide quality care. Fact: Skilled Nursing Care centers are operated by trained professionals who are committed to quality care. Shortly after admission, staff will hold a care plan meeting with residents and their loved ones to guide future care decisions. Residents and loved ones can bring up any concerns with staff members or contact a long-term care ombudsman. Myth: Medicare or health insurance will pay for a long stay. Fact: Many people mistakenly assume that Medicare or health
the nursing home, so it’s good to know whether the home will accept Medicaid. Check with the nursing home to see if they accept people with Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary from state to state. Most often, eligibility is based on your income and personal resources. Many states have higher Medicaid income limits for nursing home residents. You may be eligible for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home even if you haven’t qualified for other Medicaid services in the past. Sometimes you won’t be eligible for Medicaid until you’ve spent some of your personal resources on health care. Generally, even if you’re eligible for Medicaid, all of your income (except for a monthly personal needs allowance and amounts considered necessary to support your spouse and family living in the community) will go to pay your nursing home expenses and Medicaid will cover the rest. To get more information on Medicaid eligibility in your state, call your local Medicaid office. Information excerpted from a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publication. More information is available online at medicare.gov. insurance will cover long-term care costs. Medicare does not provide a comprehensive long-term care component. If certain conditions are met, Medicare offers limited coverage for Medicare beneficiaries who require Skilled Nursing Care. For days 1–20, Medicare will pay 100 percent of covered services; for days 21–100, you or your loved one will need to pay a daily copayment. The daily copayment can change each year. To receive coverage, you or your loved one must have been admitted to a hospital for at least a three-night stay just prior to receiving care from a Medicare-certified Skilled Nursing Care center.

SPECIALIZED CARE MEMORY 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.
A life with dementia can be a life well-lived. i

MEMORY CARE SPECIALIZED CARE
Memory Care Knowing when it is time As Alzheimer’s disease or dementia progresses, there often comes a time when the patient will need more care than can be provided at home. For instance, Alzheimer’s patients frequently need 24-hour supervision to ensure their safety. Individuals with late-stage Alzheimer’s or dementia may even need intensive care around the clock. While it may be difficult for family caregivers to turn to a residential care facility to care for their loved one, it is often the best choice for both the patient and the caregiver. The questions below may be helpful when determining if a move to residential care is a good option: • Is the person with dementia becoming unsafe in their current home? • Is the health of the person with
dementia or my health as a caregiver at risk? • Are the person’s care needs beyond my physical abilities? • Am I becoming a stressed, irritable and impatient caregiver? • Am I neglecting work responsibilities, my family and myself? • Would the structure and social interaction at a care facility benefit the person with dementia? Even if a family has planned for a move, making the transition to a residential care facility can be a stressful experience. Caregivers may feel guilty and wonder if they are doing the right thing. These feelings are common. Try to remain focused on the fact that this decision is ultimately about making sure the patient receives the best possible care.

SPECIALIZED CARE MEMORY CARE
Memory Care Considering a Residential Facility Most retirement living communities offer options for individuals with memory care needs. Before selecting a community, potential residents and their families should carefully evaluate their current and future care needs. Consumers should also familiarize themselves with the wide variety of community options available. Life Plan Communities These communities provide a full range of care options from independent living to nursing care. Residents with memory care needs would generally move in while they are still healthy and progress to higher levels of care. Assisted Living Assisted living facilities offer additional support for residents,
including assistance with the activities of daily living. Many assisted living facilities offer services specifically designed for people with dementia. Skilled Nursing Facilities These communities offer roundthe-clock care for patients. Some nursing homes have specialized units and specially trained staff to accommodate the needs of patients with dementia. Special Care Units Special Care Units, or SCUs, are also called memory care units and are designed to meet the specific needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These units are often located within other residential care options. Some of these units are
locked or secured for the safety of residents. SCUs generally offer other specialized services, including highly trained staff and activities designed for individuals with varying stages of dementia. Information adapted from the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org).

HOSPICE SPECIALIZED CARE
Hospice Care Improving the quality of life remaining A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. How Do I Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments.
800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-0981-12.indd 157
Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or in-patient hospice residential settings. What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s
pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer short-term inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Continued on page 160

SPECIALIZED CARE HOSPICE
Choosing Hospice Care Use this checklist to review options: Many individuals and families could benefit from hospice care but are unaware of how to access hospice services. Some are afraid to discuss it, some wait for a physician to suggest it, and some don’t know that they can initiate hospice care on their own, as long as eligibility standards are met.
■ Are there any services, medications or equipment that the hospice DOES NOT provide?
If hospice seems like the right choice at this time, here is how to proceed:
■ How long will visits last?
DETERMINING NEED
■ When the hospice orders medication, where can it be picked up, or is it delivered by the hospice?
■ Does the patient want hospice care? Did they express their wishes before they got sick? ■ What does the patient’s healthcare provider think about moving them to hospice care? ■ Is the patient still responding to treatments? ■ Have treatments become physically or emotionally difficult or intolerable? ■ Does the patient have end-stage Alzheimer’s disease? ELIGIBILITY ■ Does the physician agree that hospice care would be beneficial?
■ What kind of out of pocket expenses should the family anticipate? ■ How often will a hospice team member visit the patient? ■ What will happen during these visits?
■ Do members of the team providing care have additional training and certifications for their hospice and palliative care skills? ■ What is expected of the family caregiver? ■ Will the hospice provide training to family caregivers? ■ Can the hospice provide respite care to give family caregivers a break? ■ How is respite care arranged? ■ Is volunteer assistance available through the hospice? ■ What help do hospice volunteers provide?
■ Can a medical provider recommend a hospice provider?
■ How do families receive volunteer help?
ASSESSMENT
■ If the patient or family is unhappy with any aspect of care the hospice is providing, who can they contact at the hospice?
■ Call potential providers and request assessments. ■ Are assessments provided at no cost and with no obligations? ■ Can a clinician come to the home or to the hospital or facility to evaluate the patient?
■ What kind of bereavement support is offered by the hospice?
Source: Information adapted from www.hospicefoundation.org
CHOOSE A PROVIDER ■ Ask lots of questions while interviewing providers. Some options are below. ■ How quickly can care begin? ■ How quickly will a care plan be developed? ■ When can the family expect pain or symptoms to be managed? ■ What is the typical response time after normal business hours, or on weekends and holidays? ■ What is the typical response time if medications are no longer keeping pain under control? ■ How does the hospice handle patients whose care needs can no longer be met at home? ■ What happens if the patient needs inpatient care? 158 18-0981-12.indd 158

In addition to Medicare’s coverage, hospice services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites. For more information, see www.caringinfo.org or the information on hospice care at www.cancer.org.
MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT HOSPICE Myth: Hospice is where you go when there is “nothing else to be done.” Reality: Hospice is the “something more” that can be done for the patient and the family when the illness cannot be cured. It is a concept based on comfort-oriented care. Referral into hospice is a movement into another mode of therapy, which may be more appropriate for terminal care. Myth: Families should be isolated from a dying patient. Reality: Hospice staff believe that when family members (including children) experience the dying process in a caring environment, it helps counteract the fear of their own mortality and the mortality of their loved one. Myth: Hospice care is more expensive. Reality: Studies have shown hospice care to be no more costly. Frequently, it is less expensive than conventional care during the last six months of life. Less high-cost technology is used and family, friends and volunteers provide 90 percent of the day-to-day patient care at home. Additionally, patients eligible for Medicare or Medicaid will pay few out-of-pocket expenses related to their hospice care. Most private insurers also cover some or most hospice related expenses.

HOSPICE SPECIALIZED CARE
Which End-of-Life Healthcare Option is Right for You? Studies show that about 80 percent of Americans want to die at home, but only 20 percent actually do. Sadly, 20 percent of Americans die in nursing homes and 60 percent die in acute care hospitals. The reason? The default mode of the medical system is to try to “cure” terminally ill patients until the day they die, even when they have incurable, irreversible diseases. As a result, many people endure needless suffering at life’s end, and their agonizing, prolonged deaths traumatize their loved ones. But there are options for terminally ill adults who don’t want to suffer at life’s inevitable end. Terminally ill patients with a medical prognosis of six months or less to live are eligible for free hospice and palliative care (comfort care) benefits under Medicare and Medicaid. Hospice and palliative care relieve suffering for most terminally ill patients, but when they don’t, there is an additional option called “medical aid in dying.” “Hospice and palliative care often work wonders, but contrary to popular belief, they do not relieve every patient’s
suffering,” said Dr. Omega Silva, a former president of the American Medical Women’s Association and D.C. resident with three cancer diagnoses. “Medical aid in dying allows patients to have the voluntary option to request a doctor’s prescription for medication they can decide to take — if and when their suffering becomes unbearable — so they can die peacefully in their sleep, at home, surrounded by their loved ones. It is an option I want if hospice and palliative care do not relieve my suffering at life’s end.” Medical aid in dying is only available for mentally capable, terminally ill adults with six months or less to live who reside in the District of Columbia and seven states (Maryland and Virginia are expected to consider such a law in 2019). Studies show that just having this end-of-life care option available brings comfort to terminally ill adults, whether they utilize it or not, because it ensures they won’t have to suffer needlessly. Studies also show these laws benefit even those who don’t need — or oppose
medical aid in dying — by encouraging conversations between terminally ill adults, their loved ones, physicians and religious/spiritual advisers about all endof-life care options, including hospice and palliative care. It is important to note that no terminally ill patient, doctor, healthcare provider or pharmacist has to participate in the law. It is completely voluntary. Anyone can obtain free information about this D.C. law — or about all their end-of-life care options — by contacting the national end-of-life care nonprofit organization, Compassion & Choices, at 800.247.7421 or CompassionAndChoices.org/dc. Doctors interested in this end-of-life care option can talk with doctors with years of experience in this practice by calling Compassion & Choices’ free Doc2Doc consultation phone line: 800.247.7421 or emailing doc2doc@ compassionandchoices.org. And pharmacists can get free information about filling medical aid-in-dying prescriptions by calling: 503.943.6517.
Did You Know? Recent studies show pain and suffering at the end of life is at an all-time high.
Free Education on: Healthcare Options at End of Life Started by nurse/physician assistant who worked in emergency rooms and intensive care for 25 years, Compassion & Choices is a national nonprofit dedicated to expanding and improving healthcare options at the end of life. We offer free resources to educate individuals and families about all end-of-life care options to relieve suffering, including comfort and hospice care, and the new option in Washington, D.C. of medical aid in dying to peacefully end suffering. Medical aid in dying is a compassionate medical practice supported by numerous national healthcare groups. It has been safely practiced for 40 combined years in six states.

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 202-619-0724.

Livable Neighborhoods Finding the best place to call home What makes a neighborhood livable? The answer depends largely on your wants, needs, personal preferences and stage of life. You may want ample green space. Or perhaps you value being close to public transportation. Maybe you prefer easy access to certain facilities or amenities: a pool, a hospital or a community center. There are neighborhoods that meet all these needs—and a whole host of others. With so many neighborhoods to choose from, how do you select the perfect one to meet your specific needs? Senior living communities provide one answer. They give older adults access to centralized amenities, but they are age restricted. If you are looking for a neighborhood that better fits your current lifestyle but isn’t age specific, there is an innovative new tool that can help you find the best community
for you. Developed by AARP, the Livability Index (www.livabilityindex. aarp.org) is an easy-to-use online tool that scores neighborhoods and communities across the U.S. based on the services and amenities that have the largest impact on individual lifestyles.
The Livability Index helps quantify the elusive “good” neighborhood, giving consumers of all types the power to find exactly what they want, exactly where they want it.
The livability index ranks communities in seven major categories: housing, neighborhood, transportation, environment, health, engagement and opportunity. Users can simply type in an address, ZIP Code or community to search the index and view overall livability scores. The index can also be customized, so users can adjust category importance. For instance, if you are most concerned about access to affordable housing, you can increase the importance of the housing metric. Or, if the most important factor to your family is health care options, you can adjust the tool to place more weight on the health metric. Finally, the tool allows users to compare up to three locations. This will help you gain perspective on how your current neighborhood or potential Continued on page 174

HOME CARE AGING IN PLACE
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 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.

HOME CARE AGING IN PLACE
Pay for Home Care Understanding Costs Can Help With Decision Making As the decision to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. Longterm care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from state to state, you will need to contact your local Area Agency on Aging for more information concerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid
for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also
cover a limited number of skilled home visits. Costs for these services vary greatly depending upon coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Contact your local Office on Aging or State Department of Health to find out if there are funds from social services block grants available to cover home care costs.
Care that matters, where it counts. At home.

AGING IN PLACE HOME CARE Planning For Care At Home … Continued from page 167 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? Thank you to the Aging Life Care Association™ for permission to share this information. You may learn more about Aging Life Care™ at aginglifecare.org

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,
800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-0980-01.indd 171
occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not
covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and laundry. Also not included are home-delivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care. For more information on Medicare coverage, visit medicare.gov.

Sweet Rewards When Dan Price began beekeeping at his Virginia farm, he didn’t anticipate much beyond tending to the bees and making a little honey. Now, nearly a decade later, his beekeeping hobby has blossomed into a non-profit organization called Sweet Virginia Foundation. The Foundation has connected with more than 10,000 students and delivered more than 100,000 flowers throughout the community, including to Dan’s clients from BrightStar Care, a homecare and medical staffing agency. Sweet Virginia is a conservation and education organization, helping elementary school teachers convey the wonder of honeybees to their students. In addition to providing education, Sweet Virginia also grows thousands of flowers every year, all donated to seniors in the community. Dan dedicates countless hours to Sweet Virginia—tending to the bees,
growing and cutting flowers, and teaching visitors about the vital role of honeybees in our ecosystems. What keeps him going? The impact his flowers make. Dan loves seeing the joy on people’s faces when he delivers his flowers. In particular, Dan has always appreciated the happy reaction he receives from the senior community. After seeing Dan’s close connection to seniors and his love for giving back, a friend asked if Dan would like to purchase his BrightStar Care location. Dan agreed, and a new passion was born. BrightStar Care, a homecare and medical staffing agency, provides a range of compassionate, personcentered care to people of all ages in the comfort of their own homes. Further setting the company apart, each location has its own Registered Director of Nursing. BrightStar Care
has continually received the Joint Commission’s Enterprise Champion for Quality award. Now that he operates his own caregiving business, Dan is able to provide his community with needed health care services, while continuing to spread joy through his fresh flowers.

Information for All Organization brings news to the visually impaired An organization based out of Silver Spring is continuing to fulfill its mission of bringing the printed word to the visually impaired across the region. Established in 1974, The Metropolitan Washington Ear, Inc. (MWE) is a 501(c) nonprofit that enables the blind, visually impaired and physically disabled to have free access to news and information services. With a team of 350 volunteers, MWE strives to improve the lives of people with little to no vision, helping them be well-informed and fully productive members of their families, communities and the working world. The services are available to those certified as unable to effectively read ordinary print due to visual or physical limitations.
Among the no-cost services is a radio broadcast using radios that are pre-tuned to the MWE station and a subcarrier channel from WETA-FM. With telephone dial-in news, users have the option to skip and scan newspapers, magazines and other collateral, as a sighted person would while reading, by utilizing a touch-tone telephone. From The Washington Post to People Magazine, volunteers read various publications into a computer daily, starting early in the morning and covering all sections, which can then be accessed by callers who are also able to control the speed and volume of the recorded voices. Additionally, the organization provides a personal lookup service each weekday evening and audio description of live stage performances
in nine theaters in the metropolitan area. This extends to audio versions of the National Symphony’s printed programs and full schedules of the Strathmore Mansion and Music Center. Documentaries, museums, IMAX films and indoor and outdoor exhibits are also accessible with the help of audio describers trained for these particular venues.

neighborhood compares with others. You can quickly see if there are other communities that may be a better fit for your family or loved one—whether they are in the next town or across the country. Policymakers can also use the Livability Index to improve their communities. By fully understanding their scores, decision makers at the local level can set priorities that will help make their communities more livable in the long run. They can easily and quickly see where their communities excel—and where they fall short. This will allow them to advocate for policies and practices that can dramatically improve the lives of residents. Ultimately, the Livability Index is a powerful tool that can help people of all ages find the best neighborhoods for them. Whether you are a local official, a member of a young family, or an active older adult, you can now identify the best neighborhoods
These fictional examples demonstrate how the Livability Index can serve as an important tool for consumers.
in the regions that you are most interested in living. Armed with this information, you can then target your search for retirement communities, apartments, condos or homes in the neighborhoods that score highest in the areas that matter to you. The Livability Index makes honing your search for a home easy. The innovative tool helps quantify the elusive “good” neighborhood, giving consumers of all types the power to find exactly what they want, exactly where they want it. After all, what makes a neighborhood feel like home is a very personal decision. To learn more about AARP’s Livability Index, or to give it a try, visit livabilityindex.aarp.org.
Getting Around a Problem Anne has found a neighborhood that seems perfect for her. It has access to plenty of amenities, an engaged population, and great health care. However, it scores low in the area of transportation because it is not near public transportation options. Anne decides to look for apartments in this area that offer complimentary shuttle services to public transportation. Using the Livability Index and her own research, Anne finds the perfect community. Seeking Engagement A former educator, Phil wants to live in a multigenerational community that offers plenty of opportunities for social and civic engagement. When searching the Livability Index, he places more weight on the engagement and opportunity metrics. While the community he finds may not rank high in every category, he knows that as long as these two needs are met, he will be satisfied in his new neighborhood.

Choosing Home Care Use these questions to interview providers: Before hiring a home care provider, you will want to learn more about their services, reputation and track record. The questions below will help you have productive conversations with providers and their professional references. ■ How long has this provider been serving the community? ■ Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. ■ How does this provider select and train its employees? ■ Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance?
Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers.
■ Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? ■ Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members?
■ How does this provider ensure patient confidentiality?
■ Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care?
■ If the hired caregiver becomes ill or otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?
■ Are patients involved in making care plan changes?
■ Are social security, federal and state taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible?
■ 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? ■ Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? ■ Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints? ■ How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems? ■ What are the financial procedures of this provider? ■ Does the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care? ■ What procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week?
800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-0980-01.indd 175
■ Is there verification that the paid caregivers can legally work in the U.S.? ■ If the hired caregiver is injured, who is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.” ■ Are criminal history background checks, state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed? ■ Is there bonding and insurance in place that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages.

We know it isn’t easy to invite someone into your client’s home to provide homecare. Your clients will interview the caregivers we introduce to them. Visiting Angels is the Healthcare Professional’s choice in Maryland. Each agency does background checks and all of our caregivers are employees of Visiting Angels. All cases are RN supervised.
Assistive Technology Can Help that allow people to be found quickly if they wander. These tracking devices can be worn as watches, placed in a shoe as an insert, worn on a belt or worn around the neck as a pendant. According to the Montgomery County Police – Project Lifesaver, it is imperative that an individual is found quickly, because for each moment lost, the search grid expands to a size that makes it almost impossible for individuals to be found. With that in mind, when choosing a tracking device, it is important to know how soon the device will notify caregivers the person is wandering. Very few of the devices currently on the market can give an exact location. Newer models also include two-way voice communication. The assistive technology market also includes devices that can monitor health, sleep patterns and movement in the house. House sensors can monitor water leakage, movement in the bathroom, movement in and out of a bed or a chair, as well as the opening and closing of cabinets or doors. Finally, there are sensors that can turn off appliances if there has been no movement in a certain amount of time. Using the power of new technologies, caregivers can provide independent, safe living environments for their parents or other loved
ones and still have peace of mind. By working with loved ones and professionals, seniors can easily create secure environments where they can age in place.
Popular Technologies for Seniors Medication Management These devices and services can prompt seniors to take their pills and keep them from getting their prescriptions mixed up. Tracking Devices Worn as watches, on a belt, as a pendent or as a shoe insert, these devices allow people to be found faster if they wander. Sensor Monitoring A wide variety of sensors are available to enhance safety and security, ranging from sensors that detect falls or a lack of motion to sensors that can turn off appliances or alert caregivers to a water leak.

The world of technology is exploding with options that could allow seniors and baby boomers to live in their homes longer. So why aren’t they all taking advantage of available technologies? The simple answer is because most of the people who would benefit from these technologies are unaware that they exist. We are all familiar with the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial advertising wearable pendants that can be pressed when a person needs help. But there is so much more available today. There are currently devices available that can visually and audibly alert individuals when it is time to take their medication. Given the fact that approximately 40 percent of nursing home admissions are the result of individuals being unable to take medication without supervision, these devices can help more seniors remain at home. Sold in varying shapes and sizes, holding large to small pills, medication management devices can beep, flash, and text patients and caregivers when it is time to take a medication or text when a medication is missed. They can be purchased with monthly services to allow distant caregivers the ability to manage medications. Devices range from $299.00 to $999.00. Tracking devices are also available

FALL PREVENTION AGING IN PLACE
Prevent Falls
Accidents can be serious for seniors According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults age 65 and older falls every year. While the severity of these falls and the resulting injuries can vary, falls are always a serious occurrence for older adults. Common injuries from falls include hip fractures and head traumas. For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life threatening injuries. Even if a fall does not result in an injury, it will likely leave the senior feeling scared and may lead to a gradual limiting of activities. Fear, combined with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, will only increase the risk of a fall in the future. National and local community and non-profit organizations are working with seniors and their families to help decrease the risk of falls and lessen the impact of falls after they occur. These organizations provide information and services that may help improve the quality of life of seniors. Avoiding Falls One of the simplest ways that older adults can reduce their risk of falling is by exercising. Exercising helps improve balance and maintain leg strength. Leg muscles naturally weaken with age; weight-bearing exercises that focus on improving leg strength can help mitigate the risk of falling. For many seniors, living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest contributing factors to falling. The CDC highly recommends exercise programs and classes, such as Tai Chi, to help improve and maintain balance. Of course, seniors should consult with their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Medication interactions are another major risk factor for falls. Seniors should check with their doctor or pharmacist periodically to ensure that their medications are not causing 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

For many seniors, falls can lead to extended hospital stays or even life-threatening injuries. unwanted interactions or dangerous side effects. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which might increase the risk of falling. Seniors should also make sure to have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. Eyeglass prescriptions should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain the best possible vision. Finally, one of the most important things older adults can do to minimize their risk of falling is to evaluate the safety of their home environment. Whether they enlist the help of a professional for a comprehensive home safety evaluation or just make some minor changes, seniors should be aware of the dangers in their own home. One quick and easy safety improvement all adults can make is to reduce the clutter in their home, focusing particularly on items that may be tripping hazards. Additionally, homeowners can consider adding grab bars and railings and enhancing lighting options.
MAKING A SAFER HOME FOR SENIORS NON-SKID RUGS Remove throw rugs, use rubber backing or apply double-faced adhesive carpet tape to the backs of all area rugs and runners to prevent slipping.
REVIEW MEDICATIONS The medications you take—and even the foods you eat—can affect your balance. Check with your doctor or pharmacist annually to review your medications and diet plan.
HANDRAILS Install handrails on both sides of all stairways—making sure they extend the full length of the stairway. Also make sure you have lights at the top and bottom of the stairs.
BATHROOM SAFETY Install grab bars in your bathtub or shower stall and near a toilet. Never use towel racks for balance—they can easily come loose, causing a fall.
EXERCISE DAILY Using your muscles helps maintain balance, strength, and flexibility. Try Tai Chi, walking, water aerobics, or dancing.
FOOTWEAR It’s best to wear thin, non-slip soled shoes, not thick-soled jogging shoes.

AGING IN PLACE 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 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, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety
should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy-tounderstand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step in the decisionmaking process. Source www.nadsa.org.
Choosing an Adult Day Center Use this checklist to review options: Use the following questions to guide your visits to adult day centers. Be sure to get all your questions answered and do not hesitate to ask follow-up questions if anything seems unclear.
■ Are fees charged hourly, daily or monthly? What will the total fee be for services?
■ How many years has the center been in operation?
■ Is financial assistance available?
■ Is the center licensed, certified or accredited? ■ What are the days and hours of operation? ■ If needed, is assistance provided with eating, toileting and dispensing medication? ■ What types of activities are provided? ■ Do participants help plan activities? ■ Are meals or snacks provided? ■ Can special dietary needs be accommodated? ■ Do participants have individual service plans? How often are they updated? ■ What is the staff to participant ratio? ■ What type of training do staff members receive?

What is a Village? A Village is a community or group of people who want to live in their own homes as they get older, with all the resources needed to live active lives. A village provides many of the benefits of a traditional retirement community—all in the comfort of the family home. Village residents maintain their independence, their friendships and multigenerational community connections. Because they work together to ensure each other’s continued health and safety, residents are able to live long, full lives in their homes. What Does the Village Offer? Villages offer volunteer help to their members. Volunteers provide transportation to medical appointments, grocery delivery, and other specialized services as needed. Volunteers may also help with simple tasks at home. Examples include
small repairs, changing light bulbs, providing cooked meals to a sick neighbor, or offering assistance with laundry for someone who was just released from the hospital. Villages focus on building social connections. There are organized events, large and small, that are of interest to the community. Villages may organize book clubs, walking groups, knitting clubs, guest speaker events, group outings and so much more. Many Village events take place at a neighbor’s home; others take place at a local church, synagogue, mosque, library or community recreation center. Villages often partner with other local organizations to develop programs together.

Who Creates the Village? Villages are created by residents of the community. The residents are people who have a vision for an
