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.

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 33
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
Aging with Purpose There was time—not so long ago—that “aging in place” meant doing nothing. Too many seniors ignored their increasing needs or their home’s deferred maintenance, stubbornly refusing to seek help or consider a change. They carried on until disaster struck. A fall. An illness. A leaky roof or a fallen tree. It was only in these emergency situations that an adult child or other family member would step in, and the senior would be left with few—if any—choices. Thankfully, that no longer has to be the case. Now, “aging in place” can mean a variety of things. It may mean modifying the current home to better fit a senior’s needs as they age. It may mean moving in with an adult child or other family member. It may mean hiring an in-home caregiver to provide assistance with the activities of daily living—or just to provide companionship. The home care industry has grown immensely to meet the needs of seniors who choose to age in place. For some seniors, aging in place actually means aging
in another place. They may choose to find a retirement living option before a crisis strikes. These healthy seniors have so many choices, from life plan communities to independent living options. For seniors who already need a little help, there are also a wide variety of assisted living and nursing and rehabilitation options. The choice is theirs. Our cover story this issue features a family who chose a unique combination of aging in place options. Barbara and Bill Hare moved in with their daughter. The family has also enlisted the help of 2nd Family Home Care and Support Services for more than six years now. The company has ensured that every caregiver is qualified to become a part of the family (see page 14). With so many options, every family has the opportunity to make a plan and create their own version of “aging in place.” Sourcebook is filled with listings, checklists and articles to help seniors and their families review retirement living options and make appropriate choices. Aging is inevitable. Planning ahead can make it enjoyable. Today’s seniors are no longer just aging in place; they are aging with purpose. Steve Gurney Founder of Retirement Living Sourcebook

A Genuine Kinship By Christy Brudin
Cheryl Walker helps Barbara with daily activities and also assists her with many craft projects.
Y
ou do not have to be kin to form a genuine kinship. Such is certainly the case for in-home caregivers. Although they are paid to work in a family’s home, the nature of their work means that they quickly come to be seen as members of the family. At least the good ones do. Cheryl Walker began working with the Hare family as a caregiver for 2nd Family Home Care and Support Services a little over a year ago. She is now a proud member of the family. 2nd Family has been providing support to the Hare family for more than six years now, and they have ensured that every caregiver is qualified to become a part of the family. A family owned and operated homecare provider, 2nd Family was established after two cousins witnessed firsthand the sometimes-subpar care their grandmother received while living with Alzheimer’s for nearly twelve years. Chad Tracey and Josh Markland were determined to do things differently—to hire only caregivers who actually care. 2nd Family was built on the “Grandma Guarantee,” a promise that every client will be treated like family by

their caregivers. Quite simply, if 2nd Family would not feel comfortable with a caregiver caring for their own grandma, they don’t hire that person. In addition to hiring only the best caregivers, 2nd Family also employs Registered Nurses to act as care coordinators and advocates for each family. Finally, they use only Certified Nursing Assistants and Geriatric Nursing Assistants as caregivers. They also provide training opportunities for their employees to learn more about specific conditions, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. A native of Philadelphia, Barbara attended West Chester University and did Doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania. She became a third grade teacher, serving in the classroom for more than 24 years. She has also volunteered as a Children’s Church and Camp Fire leader for decades and still does part-time children’s church work. Barbara and Bill married young and had three children: two sons and a daughter. Bill graduated from Drexel University and then served in the military and was stationed in Korea. After his service, he worked as a 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

They are just so engaged. They come in and want to be a part of our lives. They are not just doing their shift and leaving,” she said. After Bill passed away, the Hare family again retained the services of 2nd Family to help Barbara, who has rheumatoid arthritis. That is when Cheryl joined the family. “I am just impressed that 2nd Family always seems to be able to find the cream of the crop. Their caregivers are just amazing,” Barbara said. “They’re so good with every member of the family, including all the dogs.” Cheryl helps Barbara with daily activities and also assists her with many craft projects. The former elementary school teacher is still passionate about teaching and loves crafts. “Cheryl has learned some new crafting skills, and I love teaching people, so it really works out,” said Barbara. Cheryl added, “I’ve learned so much here with Mrs. Hare, and I look forward to coming here. I really do feel like I’ve been adopted into this great family.” Cheryl and Barbara are proof of what 2nd Family’s founders always knew: you don’t have to be related to relate to each other. And sometimes the strongest relationships are between people who are not relatives at all. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Join our Family through Franchising When 2nd Family’s founders, Chad Tracey and Josh Markland, developed their unique “Grandma Guarantee,” they did so with their own grandmother in mind. The “Grandma Guarantee” promises that every client will be treated like family. Now, Chad and Josh are working to extend the guarantee to cover more grandmothers—and other loved ones. 2nd Family is currently offering franchise opportunities to new owner/operators who want to provide families the high level of care 2nd Family is delivering in Maryland. Through franchising, 2nd Family seeks to implement their unique brand and high-quality standards and processes throughout a larger territory in a shorter period of time. This will allow the company to quickly serve more seniors who need help. 2nd Family is seeking interested franchisees in MD, DC, VA, DE and PA. This area is one of the biggest markets in the country for senior home care. The company will offer hands-on assistance to franchisees.

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 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. Continued on page 19

Elder Law Resources
Understand Estate Planning Elder law attorneys can help Estate planning means much more than preparing a Last Will and Testament or tax planning for the disposition of your assets upon your death. Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximize the goals of the estate owner. The goals of estate planning typically include making sure the greatest amount of the estate passes to intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes. Estate planning must also provide for administration and protection of assets during an individual’s lifetime and for decisionmaking in the event of a disabling illness. Any complete estate plan should contain: 1. A Last Will and Testament, 2. A durable health care power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate agent) responsible for medical decision-making, 3. A living will or other advance directive giving instructions concerning the type of care one wishes to receive (or avoid) in the event of a terminal illness, and 4. A durable financial power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate) responsible for asset and financial management if one is unable to do such things for oneself. Estate planning may also include the creation of trusts. Estate planning is an opportunity to make wishes known and to determine what person(s) will be responsible for carrying out those directives. You are able to state your preferences concerning the type of care you receive, what types of medical care you do not wish to receive and can authorize someone to act as your agent in carrying out those wishes. Should you fail to do such planning, then there may be confusion as to what your wishes might have been and who you would have preferred to act as your decision-maker. In fact, without such information, your wishes 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-1438-01.indd 21
may never be known. If you do not leave a Last Will and Testament, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestate succession in your state. There are laws in each state governing the rights of surviving spouses, heirs and next of kin in the absence of a Last Will and Testament. Probate Probate laws, practice and costs vary from state to state. A qualified Elder Law attorney will be able to advise you as to the probate laws, practices and costs in your state. What You Need To Know In preparing an estate plan, it is essential that all of your assets are considered. You should do a complete inventory of all that you own before contacting your estate planner. Your estate consists not only of your home, your car and your bank accounts. Your estate also includes the value of life insurance policies, investments that you may own (including those held in joint tenancy with other persons), your IRAs and other retirement accounts, and any other assets over which you can exercise control. It is extremely helpful for you to have a centralized and secured record of all of your financial accounts; insurance policies; credit, debit or loan accounts; safe deposit box; and account IDs and passwords. You will need to make decisions about what to include in your estate plan. First, you should determine who will inherit your property upon your death. You must also be certain that your spouse or heirs are capable of managing financial affairs. If capacity or vulnerability is an issue, you may want to name a trustee to handle financial affairs for him or her. You have to designate an Executor or Personal Representative to administer your estate. An alternate Executor or Personal Representative should also be appointed. Special arrangements
may be needed if there are particular family issues, such as a second marriage by either spouse. You will also need to list any specific gifts you want to make to family or non-family members and/or to charities. Once these decisions are made and your inventory is completed, your attorney will be able to advise you as to the best technique to use in planning your estate. You should consider your preferences concerning health care options and decide who will be your decision makers, and do the same with regard to your finances in the event of a disability. Finally, you should give thought to the difficult questions of what type of care you would want or not want in the event of terminal illness. If you have special desires concerning disposition of your remains, such as burial in a certain place or possible cremation, these should be brought up during your planning conference as well. These are complicated and personal issues. The advice of a qualified Elder Law attorney is essential to protect your financial health and welfare and to ensure that your health care wishes are known and carried out. The Role of the Elder Law Attorney Elder Law attorneys who specialize in estate planning are trained and experienced with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives or living wills, and the intricacies of estate and inheritance taxes. They may recommend accounting services, financial planners or insurance purchases, but they do not earn their fees by selling such products. As a result, you are more likely to get thorough and unbiased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with Continued on page 24 21 10/18/18 3:31 PM

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

Find an Elder Law Provider Use our step-by-step guide: Step 1 – Know Your Needs
■ Who will handle the case?
■ Organize and outline all the information pertinent to your situation.
■ Has that attorney handled matters of this kind in the past?
■ If you are calling on behalf of a loved one, make sure that you have as many specific details as possible.
■ 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?
Step 2 – Call Attorneys
■ Is that attorney a member of the local bar association, a health advocacy committee, or trust and estates committee?
■ 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?

In addition, Elder Law attorneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. Be certain to assure yourself that the attorney you choose has such experience and training. Attorneys will ask clients for a great deal of information and will request 24 18-1438-01.indd 24
■ 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.

The Many Benefits of Adult Family Mediation By Sig Cohen Families facing disagreements on issues such as caring for aging parents, encouraging an older adult to stop driving, or equitably distributing trust proceeds are increasingly turning to adult family mediation to settle their differences. Having a neutral third party help a family resolve their disputes is more attractive than the delay, cost and distress of litigation. When family members forge a path forward together, there are no winners or losers. As a result, an elder can look forward to his or her family having less rancor and more mutual respect. Adult family mediation offers families the opportunity to air their concerns in a “safe space.” Sessions are confidential. The process is simple: An adult family mediator confers one-on-one with parties before they meet in a “plenary” session. When they convene, the mediator
26 18-1438-01.indd 26
explains how the discussion will move forward. Then the mediator invites each party (or their attorney) to share their concerns and goals. When a mediator facilitates the discussion, it’s more likely that the parties will listen to the other side and speak without interruption. If an exchange becomes too heated, the mediator will suggest taking a break. Throughout the process, family members are challenged to: (1) identify the issues dividing them, (2) come up with options to settle them, and (3) collaboratively carry out the terms of what they’ve agreed to. Mediators do not give legal advice. They recommend parties seek counsel from a qualified elder attorney. Nor are they therapists. Again, they suggest family members meet with a professional in that field. Mediation is future focused. While the process cannot repair the past, it
provides an avenue to more peaceful, cooperative family relations in the future. Mediation also affords family members conflict resolution tools, so they can settle future disputes without a neutral third party. Once they’ve successfully settled their case through mediation, families are more confident in their capacity to resolve future conflicts themselves. Adult family mediation brings out the best in people. When family members engage in mediation, their relationship usually moves from friction to traction and from deadlock to determination to put their issues behind them and create more resilient family bonds.

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. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

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 options ranging from independent living to long-term nursing care on one campus.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Life Plan Communities Offering diverse lifestyle options Life Plan Communities are properties offering a combination of living options for older adults. These communities offer an active lifestyle for residents, as well as a wide array of amenities and services. Life Plan Communities were formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). Following a two-year research and review process, a task force led by LeadingAge and Mather LifeWays, identified a new name for CCRCs that would resonate with the boomer target audience. The new name better reflects the communities and their 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.

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 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. Continued on page 46

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

The Right Contract … Continued from page 39
3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements) Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says Herrera. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care. Steps before you sign Regardless of the environment you choose, moving to a senior living community is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and even more research. Here are some important steps to take before signing a contract. 1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same

staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. Understand 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.”

Assisted Living HOUSING
Assisted Living Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living communities offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily living. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living communities offer basic services, including meals, supervision and security, and help with personal care needs. For many seniors, the help available at an assisted living facility can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living communities are registered, licensed or certified by an appropriate department or agency of the state that has a process for issuance of initial licenses and for renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers. Residents of assisted living communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic activities, frequently called the
activities of daily living (or ADLs). Some communities may accept residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In fact, some communities may specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. A few communities serve individuals of any age with developmental disabilities. When reviewing assisted living communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have. The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the residents. One key offering is 24-hour supervision of the residents and the property. Resident safety and security is a priority at all assisted living communities. All communities also offer three meals a day in a group dining room. However, dining options can vary dramatically in
terms of the meals available and the costs associated with meal plans. Finally, all assisted living communities offer personal care services, also known as help with the ADLs. These services include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Other services and activities available at some assisted living communities include: • Medication management, or assistance with self-administration of medicine • Coordination of services by outside health care providers • Assistance with arranging medical, health, and dental care services • Social services • Transportation services • Outdoor areas for walking or gardening • Supervision and assistance for persons with Alzheimer’s or other Continued on page 77

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
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.

Pay for Assisted Living/Personal Care Know your options when paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some
communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are 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.
Assisted Living ...
before selecting one. Assisted living communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living communities do not typically provide the level of continuous skilled nursing care found in nursing homes and hospitals. For instance, if a prospective resident needs constant care, a nursing home may be a more viable option. There is no set standard for assisted living accommodations. Therefore, options can vary greatly
from one assisted living community to the next. For instance, some communities offer private rooms featuring kitchenettes and private bathrooms, while others offer shared units or shared bathrooms. Consumers must consider the prospective resident’s personal needs, financial means and personal preferences before selecting a community.

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, 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. 80 18-1441-01.indd 80
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 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 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.

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 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 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 Continued on page 83

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
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
COGNITIVE
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.

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 Does One Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s
home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or 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, private insurers or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services
available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little out-of-pocket expense.” To receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certifying that they are choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits. Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. 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.

Specialized Care Hospice
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?
■ What kind of bereavement support is offered by the hospice?
■ Can a clinician come to the home or to the hospital or facility to evaluate the patient? 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? 102 18-1441-01.indd 102

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.

●
Be admitted for service only if the agency has the ability to provide safe, professional care at the level of intensity needed;
●
Choose care providers; Appropriate and professional care in accordance with physician orders;
●
Receive a timely response from the agency to requests for service;
●
Be informed of his or her rights under state law to formulate advanced directives.

Planning For Care At Home by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff, CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care Association™ Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy 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.
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
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. 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 Continued on page 122

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? ■ 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? ■ Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care?
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 ensure patient confidentiality? ■ If the hired caregiver becomes ill or otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made? ■ Are social security, federal and state taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible? ■ 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 patients involved in making care plan changes?
■ Are criminal history background checks, state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?
■ 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?
■ 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.
■ 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?
Source: Information adapated from the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC). For more information, visit www.nahc.org.
■ 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?

Aging in Place Home Care
Assistive Technology Can Help 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 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.

Medicare and Home Care Know the coverage options When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
18-1442-01.indd 121
It is important for older adults and their families to fully understand which home health care benefits will be covered by Medicare and which will require private payments.
• Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and laundry. Also not
included are home-delivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care. For more information on Medicare coverage, visit medicare.gov. Information Provided by Family & Nursing Care/Legacy Home Care and adapted from medicare.gov. 121 10/23/18 10:37 AM

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 Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

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