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

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

Elder Law Providers Most CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance

Publisher’s NOTE

SourceBook Got a Makeover NEW BOOK, FRESH LOOK

It’s Time Sometimes you just know it’s time. Time to update those glasses from the 80s, or change that decades old haircut, or even donate that beloved jacket. Turns out, it’s no different with retirement living decisions. When the time is right, you will know. For instance, in this issue’s cover story, you will meet Dr. Walter Hays and his wife, Sylvia. When Sylvia Hays fell on her front porch, everything changed in an instant. Dr. Hays immediately knew it was time to get some help, and he turned to Tall Oaks Assisted Living. Now, after nearly a year of recovery and rehabilitation, Sylvia is back on her feet (see page 19).

MENTAL HEALTH

The same holds true for Sourcebook. We recently realized that it was time for a makeover. While we are immensely proud of how our publication has grown over the years to meet the needs of our readers, we decided to reevaluate our design and our content. In this issue, we are unveiling a new book with a fresh look. For more than 27 years, Sourcebook has been a pioneer in the senior living resources industry. Our objective editorial and comprehensive listings have helped thousands of seniors and families select the best senior living options. This fresh new look will combine all

Cover Story

Helping Hands

t all started with a fall. Sylvia Hays was on the front porch of her home in Reston, Va., when a simple fall changed everything. She had shared the home with her husband, Dr. Walter Hays, for decades, and the couple was happily aging in place. In just one instant, their entire lives were altered. When Sylvia fell, she broke her hip and her wrist. Even after surgery and rehabilitation, she was not physically able to return home. After months of recovery, Sylvia is back on her feet. Both she and Walter are now residents of Tall Oaks, an assisted living community where Sylvia has been receiving the rehabilitation and care she needs. “When my wife fell, our whole world changed in ten seconds,” Walter recalled. “Finally, after surgery and rehab for nearly a year, she has now relearned how to walk unassisted.” Walter, who spent more than thirty years working for the U.S. Geological Survey studying earthquakes and volcanoes around the world, frequently compares Sylvia’s accident to an earthquake. “You have to prepare for an earthquake. Otherwise, you will have a really big mess on your hands,” he said. “We weren’t prepared for Sylvia’s fall either, but we found the help we needed.” Although Walter retired from the U.S. Geological Survey in 1999, he still works as a physics teacher at Fairfax Christian High School. He plans to work at the school for one more year until the facility moves to a new location. Walter also prepares courses on global environmental disasters and earthquake preparedness for the World Health Organization and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Following her accident, Walter quickly realized that he couldn’t care for Sylvia alone. Her injuries were both serious and extensive, and she needed professional care to make a recovery. Walter emphasizes that while it is impossible to fully prepare for accidents like Sylvia’s, it is important to know where to turn when the unthinkable becomes reality. The Hayses turned to Tall Oaks, so Sylvia could get the help she needed and the couple could remain together. Over the course of the last year, both Walter and Sylvia have become very involved in the community. “Sylvia has made a lot of friends. She wasn’t interested in participating at all in the beginning, but now she is really enjoying many of the activities. She is singing and rejoicing retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990

with her new friends,” Walter said. For Walter, the move to Tall Oaks has also brought many new friendships—as well as a broader appreciation for every day. “I think living here has made me realize more that you need to do everything you can to make every day count,” he said. “I really appreciate the little things—conversations with my friends, reminiscing

Although Walter retired from the U.S. Geological Survey in 1999, he still works as a physics teacher at Fairfax Christian High School.

Why Choose Tall Oaks? New Wellness & Rehabilitation Center Physical, speech, and occupational therapy is offered on-site. The wellness program is enhanced by two in-house support groups; one for Alzheimer’s disease and one for Parkinson’s disease, and both are open to residents, their families, and the public. Plus, all residents have access to the Tall Oaks ﬁtness center and weekly exercise classes.

Recently Renovated One-Bedroom Apartments Downsizing to an apartment does not mean you have to lose space! Tall Oaks now has a limited number of large, newly enhanced apartments available for rent. These spacious accommodations feature a private bedroom, bathroom, and enough room for a living room and a parlor or dining space in addition to a new kitchenette.

Short-Term Respite Stays Respite Care is the perfect choice for short-term assisted living or memory care needs. It allows the resident to experience life at Tall Oaks while providing his or her caregiver with the opportunity to travel or simply take a break. Convenient stays include all meals, life enrichment activities, care, and more in a fully furnished apartment.

Cover Story

“I didn’t expect this move, and I wasn’t totally prepared when we moved,” Walter recalled. “There is an adjustment period, but I always tell newcomers that it will work out, and they will be so happy. We certainly are.” In addition to spending time with his new friends and continuing to teach, Walter has also become active in helping his fellow residents share their stories. Dr. Hays is partnering with Retirement Living Sourcebook and Herndon High School’s Writing Center to record the legacies of the residents of Tall Oaks. This project will match students in the high school’s advanced writing program with residents at Tall Oaks. The students will interview the residents and compose brief articles about their lives— focusing on capturing their legacies before they are lost. The student articles will be compiled into a book that can be shared with residents, families and visitors at Tall Oaks. The teachers at the writing center will then select one of the articles to be published in an upcoming edition of Sourcebook. Tall Oaks has now become a family affair for the Hayses as well. Walter and Sylvia’s daughter, Marcie, is working at the community in the activity department. “She is one of three key people in the activities department, and she can sing and play the piano, and she is very popular,” Walter said. “It has been wonderful for us. We will be sitting at the dining table and someone that we’ve never met will come up to us and ask if she is our daughter and tell us how much they love her.” Although the Hayses initially moved to Tall Oaks so Sylvia could heal, they found a true community, and they have quickly become an integral part of it. “Sylvia said Dr. Hayes is partnering with Retirement Living Sourcebook and to me just the other day that she really likes it here.

Feature Story

A Home Run for Ozzie and Everett Stewart By Jon Enten

Everett Stewart (right) found a place where his brother, Oswald, could get the care he needed at Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center. He also found a place where both brothers could feel really at home.

swald, Jr. (Ozzie) and Everett (‘Lil Stewie) Stewart grew up playing baseball. Their love for the game has lasted almost 80 years—and is only surpassed by their love for each other. Oswald and Everett’s father, Oswald Stewart, Sr., was a professional baseball player and managed the Washington Royals, a local Negro League team. Both brothers were talented players who enjoyed baseball careers spanning nearly 30 years, playing multiple positions for a range of teams, including the Washington Aztecs and the Washington Royals. Oswald and Everett are native Washingtonians, who

spent their young lives in Anacostia. During their baseball careers, the brothers traveled together along the east coast from Canada to Florida. In fact, the only time the brothers were far apart was when they were serving their country. Oswald served in the military during World War II, while Everett served during the Korean War. “I was ‘Lil Stewie and he was Ozzie, and we were together for over eighty years,” Everett said of the brothers’ close relationship. “Except for the times we were in the service, we never lived further than an hour apart—and usually closer.” Even after their baseball careers ended, both Oswald 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Feature Story

and Everett enjoyed a love for America’s pastime. They also always were each other’s best teammates and best friends—both on and off the field. When Oswald started to experience health problems, Everett stepped in and invited his brother to live with him. And when Oswald was diagnosed with cancer, Everett realized that he could no longer care for his brother in his home, as he had been doing. He came to Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center (MVNRC), a 5-star Medicare rated center in Alexandria, Va. At MVNRC, Everett found the medical and rehabilitative care his brother needed, as well as a community of caring and compassionate nurses, aides, rehab staff and others. MVNRC was the place that they would come to call home for more than four years. Everett has never regretted his decision to move his brother to MVNRC. “I have never had a single complaint,” Everett said. “The move here was so smooth, and from day one, everybody couldn’t have been more supportive of Ozzie and me.” As his illness progressed, Oswald received more intensive nursing care to meet his changing medical needs. Staff members also made sure that he remained active and engaged, according to his abilities. “The folks in the activity department would do anything Ozzie asked,” Everett said

with a chuckle. “They were at his beck and call!” One of Oswald and Everett’s more memorable events happened when MVNRC’s Administrator, Bob DeMaria, took a few of the residents, including Oswald and Everett, to a Washington Nationals baseball game. “He was absolutely in heaven and had a smile on his face the entire game,” Everett said. “It brought back a lot of wonderful memories for both of us.” When Oswald was nearing the end of his life, the staff continued working especially hard to brighten his days. “Staff would come from all over just to talk and visit with him. He had so many wonderful and close relationships here,” Everett said. MVNRC staff and residents honored Oswald after he passed away by holding a memorial service in his honor. The dining staff provided the food for the service, and it was attended by staff, administrators and residents alike. Ozzie had touched everyone at MVNRC in a special way. Since his brother’s passing, Everett has remained an integral part of the MVNRC community. He visits with residents and staff at least twice a week. At Mt. Vernon Nursing & Rehab, the Stewart brothers found the place where Oswald could get the care he needed—and where both brothers could feel at home and part of a family. That’s what they call a real home run!

life plan communities HOUSING

Life Plan Communities Offering diverse lifestyle options Life Plan Communities are properties offering a combination of living options for older adults. These communities offer an active lifestyle for residents, as well as a wide array of amenities and services. Life Plan Communities were formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). Following a two-year research and review process, a task force led by LeadingAge and Mather LifeWays, identified a new name for CCRCs that would resonate with the boomer target audience. The new name better reflects the communities and their residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;individuals who are active, engaged and focused on the future. Living options available at Life Plan

Communities may include independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing services. These different levels of care are all offered on a single campus. Residents have the option to have all their current or future healthcare needs met without ever leaving campus. Life Plan Communities afford residents endless opportunities to remain active and involved. These communities generally appeal to young, healthy older adults. Amenities vary widely but often include swimming pools, fitness centers, gardening areas, and golf courses or putting greens. Additionally, residents have access to hundreds of clubs and activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;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. Source: lifeplancommunity.org

Life Plan Resident Rights A model Bill of Rights The National Continuing Care Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 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. Continued on page 33

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 complet-

ed 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 Continued on page 47

Veterans Continued from 44 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 longterm 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

retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990

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 single-family 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

F I V E

S T A R

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-forservice system is used. A few communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. To learn more, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. Consumers should carefully research the independent living community options in their target areas or neighborhoods. After requesting and reviewing information from communities, prospective residents should plan on-site visits to each community they are considering.

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

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 Continued on page 69

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 re-

quirements, 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

Assisted Living HOUSING

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.

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 CCAL-Advancing Person-Centered Living. They helped coin the term “person-centered 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 person-centered 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 relationship-based 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

A person-centered culture is nurturing, empowering and respectful, and it optimizes the well being of not only the elder and 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.

Assisted Living HOUSING

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 longterm care insurance? Do they have savings to liquidate or assets they’re willing to sell?

Assisted Living HOUSING Balanced Caregiver Continued from 75 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.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills

to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. What to Look For in Nursing Care Before choosing a home, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints.

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 Continued on page 107

Nursing & Rehabilitation HOUSING Myths About Nursing Continued from page 105 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 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 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

Memory Care Specialized Care

Choosing 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.

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. More information about housing options is available on page 25. 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 round-the-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.

Specialized Care Hospice

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

128 Sourcebook17finalk2.indd

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 shortterm 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 Continued on page 131

Hospice Specialized Care Hospice Care Continued from 128 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 docu-

ment 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. 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 outof-pocket expenses related to their hospice care. Most private insurers also cover some or most hospice related expenses. Myth: You can’t keep your own doctor if you enter hospice. Reality: Hospice physicians work closely with your doctor of choice to determine a plan of care.

Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of companion care providers are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available.

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 homecare 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 ser-

vices block grants available to cover home care costs.

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 Medicare-reimbursed 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 Continued on 139

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.

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?

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

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.

care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not

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, person-centered 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.

Choosing Home Care 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.

retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990

o What procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? o How does this provider ensure patient confidentiality? o If the hired caregiver becomes ill or otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made? o Are social security, federal and state taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible? o Is there verification that the paid caregivers can legally work in the U.S.? o If the hired caregiver is injured, who is responsible? Remember that many homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.” o Are criminal history background checks, state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed? o 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. o Is it possible to estimate the ongoing cost of care?

Adult Day Care

o H ow long has this provider been serving the community? o D oes this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. o How does this provider select and train its employees? o Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? o Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? o Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? o Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care? o Are patients involved in making care plan changes? o Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient? o Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? o Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints? o How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems? o What are the financial procedures of this provider? o Does the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care?

Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers.

Medicare Age Requirements By Sandy Johnson If you’re in your sixties, you probably know that the age to receive full retirement benefits has changed. But it’s important to remember that the age to begin receiving Medicare has not — it is still 65. Even if you have decided to wait until after you are age 65 to apply for retirement benefits, most people should start getting Medicare coverage at age 65. If you would like to begin your Medicare coverage when you first become eligible, we suggest that you apply within three months of reaching age 65. You can do it online in as little as 10 minutes at www.socialsecurity.gov/ medicareonly. At the website, you’ll find more than

just the online Medicare application. You’ll also find information about Medicare, and have the opportunity to watch some short videos about applying for Medicare online. Why go online to apply for Medicare? Because it’s fast, easy and secure. You don’t need an appointment and you can avoid waiting in traffic or in line. As long as you have ten minutes to spare, you have time to complete and submit your online Medicare application. People who started receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits before age 65 do not need to apply; they will be automatically enrolled in Medicare. There is no additional charge for

retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990

Medicare hospital insurance (Part A), since you already paid for it by working and paying Medicare tax. However, there is a monthly premium for medical insurance (Part B). If you already have other health insurance when you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider whether you want to apply for the medical insurance. To learn more about Medicare and some options for choosing coverage, read the online publication, Medicare, at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10043.html or visit www.Medicare.gov. To learn more about applying for Medicare Only using the online application, please visit www.socialsecurity. gov/medicareonly.

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-to-understand 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 decision-making process.

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. 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. Sources: nasmm.org, seniorsrealestate.com, and seniorsrealestateinstitute. com.

Moving/Downsizing Resources

Forget what you have heard about reverse mortgages By Bill Hornbeck, CEO Senior Lifestyle Mortgage With the new revisions and protections put in place by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), reverse mortgages are now a safe and reliable home equity lending solution. Modern Reverse Mortgages provide a unique “aging in place” financing product that compares favorably to the standard Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) commonly provided by local banks. They now function as Home Equity Flex Loans, enabling families to fund retirement income shortfalls and pay for elder health care costs. Families can choose the payment structure that works for them, with options to pay loan interest whenever they wish, to pay down loan principal whenever they wish, or to make no monthly loan payments at all. The original reverse mortgage was simply one of two primary cash-out options made available under the FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Program. Homeowners could choose one of two forms of home equity access, giving them a way to utilize their hidden wealth in the form of accumulated home equity. One form was for the homeowner to receive monthly cash in a sort of “equity-drip” loan distribution. This method allowed homeowners to receive a defined amount of funds each month to supplement income shortfalls. The second method has always been to establish the highly unique HECM Home Equity Line of Credit. This is a flexible way of establishing a line of credit that, unlike a regular bank HELOC, can never be canceled or frozen as a result of a reduction in

the home market value due to recession or other financial implosions. In fact, one of the principal advantages of the program has always been that the unused portion of the line of credit can actually grow larger under the built-in terms, adding borrowing power to the existing line over time. It is this HECM Line of Credit that serves families so well in managing the expenses of in-home health care. By establishing a line of credit, the family can use home equity funds as needed without a requirement to make monthly mortgage payments. The borrowed funds along with accumulated loan interest will become due and payable when the last remaining borrower sells the home, moves away, or dies. It is important to note that the borrower is responsible for complying with the loan terms, including maintaining the property in accordance with FHA standards, as well as paying all property taxes, homeowner’s insurance premiums, and HOA dues. Any and all profit beyond the pay-off amount is naturally

retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990

distributed to the remaining estate holders and heirs. It has been said that the HECM is the most misunderstood financial product in the industry. Senior homeowners, those at least age 62, have yet to embrace this powerful equity tool on a large scale. However, it is an excellent financial solution, combining home equity with other financial assets to fund aging in place. As life expectatancies continue to increase and senior care costs continue to rise, many retirees do not have enough money to pay for senior living expenses or to manage elder health care costs. By using home equity to fund those expenses, families can gain valuable peace of mind—all without any need to pay a monthly mortgage payment. More information is available at www.

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

Elder Law and Advance Planning Specialized attorneys can help with advance directives is 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

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?

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.
