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

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

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

Publisher’s NOTE

Mourning and Remembering Over the last several months, Sourcebook has lost two close friends and colleagues. We tragically lost elder care advocate Buckley Fricker of Buckley’s for Seniors and her husband, Scott, on December 22, 2017. Buckley was the daughter of one of the nation’s first Elder Law Attorneys, Janet Kuhn. While working as an attorney for her mother, she discovered that many of their clients had needs beyond legal services. She founded Buckley’s for Seniors in 2005. During the last 13 years, the team at Sourcebook watched as she expanded her services, authored a book, and helped countless families navigate a variety of elder care challenges. She will be greatly missed.

We are pleased that another friend of Sourcebook, The Medical Team, a home care provider, has offered valuable support to help keep Buckley’s for Seniors going and to maintain Buckley’s legacy of caring in the community. Sourcebook also recently lost our former Associate Publisher, Marlene Zaborsky. Marlene was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia while she was working at Sourcebook. With an indomitable spirit and an amazing attitude, she faced her tough diagnosis. Thanks to the support of her world-class medical team at the National Institutes of Health, she was able to beat all the odds and live a purposeful life—full of quality time with family and friends. We will never forget her passion for life and her

incredible sense of humor. All of us at Sourcebook are grateful for the readers and providers who have helped us better understand the challenges of losing a loved one. Although the pain is real, we are facing our loss with the invaluable support of those who have walked this road before. Today, we mourn for Buckley, Scott and Marlene. Every day, we will miss them. But we will always remember— and treasure—their friendship. They may have left this world, but they left it a better place.

you Wishing this t s e b e h t l al eason holiday s

After a month of physical therapy at his new assisted living community, The Gardens at Fair Oaks, Bruce Swanson is walking unassisted again.

Cover Story

Walking Strong By Christy Brudin

ruce Swanson has always been a walker. He walked all over the farm he grew up on near Rochester, NY. He spent decades hiking with his wife. And during his leisure time, he was often hunting and fishing—walking to reach the best spots. When Bruce could no longer walk with ease—and had to start using a walker—the lifestyle change was pronounced. When Bruce’s friend, Diane, noticed his declining mobility and overall physical health, she encouraged him to consider an assisted living community. She later facilitated his move to The Gardens at Fair Oaks in Fairfax, VA. The Gardens at Fair Oaks offers exceptional assisted living care on a beautifully landscaped campus. Residents enjoy engaging activities, restaurant-style dining, and assistance from caring staff members who are always ready to help. As part of a group of communities managed by the Bainum family, The Gardens at Fair Oaks offers residents varying levels of care and the personalized service that is the hallmark of a family run business. The Gardens at Fair Oaks’ neighboring community, The Woodlands

Retirement Community, offers independent living apartments. The community’s other sister property, Fairfax Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, provides care for residents with long-term acute care needs or shortterm rehabilitation needs. Residents can move up or down this continuum of care as their personal needs change. The Bainum family has operated the nursing center since 1964 and has a solid reputation for impeccable customer service. They run each community as a true family owned business, with hands-on management and the attitude that the staff and residents are all part of one big extended family. Bruce is happy to be a part of that family, and even happier to be back on his feet—without assistance. After just one month at The Gardens at Fair Oaks, he is now able to walk without a walker again. A native of New York, Bruce spent his formative years on a farm near Rochester. His father was a farmer, and he developed an early interest in agriculture. When he was a pre-teen, his family moved to Ohio for his father’s job. After graduating from high school in Cincinnati, Bruce attended Ohio State University. He served in the Army

for four years after college. When he left the service, Bruce attended the University of California at Davis and received his Master’s degree in Agricultural Economics. Bruce spent decades working for the federal government as an agricultural economist, based primarily in Washington, D.C. During this time, he also attained his Ph.D. from Texas A&M. While living in D.C., Bruce met, Hedwig, or “Hedi,” who became his wife. Bruce and Hedi spent lots of time hiking together. They also enjoyed wintering in Lighthouse Point, FL. After Hedi passed away, Bruce continued to live alone in his home in Alexandria, VA. When his friend Diane suggested that he look into assisted living, Bruce agreed that it was a good idea. Diane carefully researched several local communities before selecting The Gardens at Fair Oaks. “She knew that I was going downhill—that I was starting to need help,” Bruce recalled. “She did a really good job finding this place, and moving has helped me so much.” Therapists at The Gardens at Fair Oaks offer personalized Bruce’s improved mobility is largely due to the physical services to help each resident attain their maximum quality of therapy services available to all residents.

Feature Story

Just What They Needed By Christy Brudin

inding exactly what you need exactly when—and where—you need it can be a rare occurrence. But it does happen. And it did happen for both Beatrice Bobotek and Shirley Sheffey. Beatrice “Bea” and Shirley are both residents at Brandywine Living at Alexandria, a newly-opened luxury retirement community minutes from historic Old Town Alexandria. The six-story building features 116 suite-style residences and amenities including a movie theater, pub, therapy pool, and dining room. The community offers residents an array of educational, entertainment, and health and wellness choices, as well as daily fine dining experiences. A native of Kentucky, Bea moved to Alexandria in 1962. She raised her three sons in the area and was still living in her large home in Mt. Vernon prior to her move to Brandywine. She retired from her latest career as a Medical Librarian at the age of 85. One of the earliest members of Mt. Vernon at Home, Bea was committed to remaining in her home. Mt. Vernon at Home is a volunteer-driven organization that provides services and support to assist Mount Vernon seniors as they age in place in their own homes for as long as possible. When Bea fell in her home last Christmas Eve, everything changed. The fall broke her femur and started a months-long journey to recovery. Following an operation to repair her leg, Bea was sent to a nearby nursing home for recovery; however, she contracted a staph infection and had to return to the hospital for additional treatment. After two months of care, she was finally released to a rehabilitation center. “After that ordeal, Barbara Sullivan, the Director of Mt. Vernon at Home came to me and mentioned that there was a brand new assisted living community in our neighborhood called Brandywine,” Bea recalled. “She came to look at the community, and she thought it was very luxurious. She knew I would be happy and well taken care of here.” Brandywine Living at Alexandria just opened in March 2018, so Bea was among the first residents at the property. “I have been here for ten days, and I’ve been living a life of luxury,” she said. “I have attendants whenever I need them to help me do whatever I want. They make sure that I am well fed and well taken care of.” Shirley Sheffey also found Brandywine at exactly the right time. Shirley spent her formative years at a boarding school in rural New York. She was an accomplished equestrian, who spent most of her free time riding and showing

horses. Following her graduation, she attended business school and worked as a secretary. Shirley met her husband, John, at a party at West Point. “He introduced himself and finally got up the nerve to ask me out,” she recalled. “I said yes.” The Sheffeys were married after a short courtship. When John was stationed in Germany, their international adventures began. The couple lived in Germany, France and Italy before returning to the states. They went on to have two daughters. After John passed away, Shirley moved from their home in Ft. Ward Park to Montebello, a high-rise condominium community in Alexandria. She lived there for decades before she started to consider moving again. Continued on page 36

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

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.

Moving/Downsizing Resources

Reverse mortgages A powerful retirement option By Bill Hornbeck, CEO, Senior Lifestyle Mortgage With the recent revisions and protections put in place by the Federal Housing Administration and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, reverse mortgage loans are gaining increasing acceptance from borrowers and financial advisors alike. Using home equity to pay for elder health care costs and improve retirement income is now recognized as a legitimate and practical financial tool. Although most consumers recognize the name of the program as the Reverse Mortgage Loan, the program is more formally known as the FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM (pronounced “heck-em”). The flexibility of the reverse mortgage home equity loan is especially welcome when borrowers learn that they can choose to reduce the debt over time, just as with a regular forward mortgage. Every borrower is given the option to pay loan interest at any time, to pay down loan principal, or to make no monthly loan payments at all. In fact, reverse mortgages compare favorably to the standard Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) commonly provided by local banks. The HECM loan provides two cash-out options for borrowers. The first option enables eligible homeowners to receive cash each month by borrowing available home equity in a scheduled monthly amount. The second option is to establish a HECM Line of Credit that creates a larger pool of readily available funds. Unlike a regular bank HELOC, the HECM can never be canceled or modified because of a reduction in the home value. The advantage of the HECM Line of Credit is the flexibility that it gives to families, allowing them to better manage the expenses of in-home

health care and other emergencies. With a line of credit in place, the family can use home equity funds as needed without a requirement to make monthly mortgage payments. The existing loan balance will become due and payable when the last remaining borrower sells the home, moves away or dies. When the family decides to sell the home, they then pay off the loan balance and retain any profits from the sale. It is important to note that the borrower is responsible for complying with the loan terms, which include regular maintenance of the home and the payment of property taxes, hazard insurance premiums, and any Home Owner’s Association dues. It has been said that the HECM is the most misunderstood financial product in the industry. However, industry research shows that senior homeowners are rapidly embracing

this unique financial tool as a method for extracting much-needed cash from their homes. In many retirement scenarios, home equity is the largest remaining asset of homeowners. As life expectancies continue to increase and elder healthcare costs continue to rise, many retirees find that accessing home equity is the best way to fund senior lifestyle expenses.

Elder Law Resources

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

• Medicare claims and appeals •S ocial Security and disability claims and appeals •S upplemental and long-term health insurance issues • Tax planning •D isability 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 •A ccess to health care in a managed care environment •C onservatorships and guardianships •E state planning, including planning for the management of one’s estate during life and its disposition on death through the use of trusts, wills

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

Resources Elder Law

Elder Law and Advance Planning Specialized attorneys can help with advance directives critical to address legal nuances, personal preferences and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals or friends disagree with them.

Advance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury. Finding an Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-oflife decisions. Consultation with an attorney is

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.

Find an Elder Law Provider Step 1 – Know Your Needs o Organize and outline all the information pertinent to your situation. o If you are calling on behalf of a loved one, make sure that you have as many specific details as possible.

Step 5 – Make It A Good Experience o Once you decide to hire an attorney, ask that your arrangement be put in writing. A positive and open relationship between an attorney and a client benefits everyone. The key is communication. Source: National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys

Aging Life Care

Step 3 – Initial Consultation o When you have found a prospective attorney, make an appointment to see him or her. After you have explained your situation, ask: o What will it take to resolve it? o Are there any alternate courses of action? o What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? o How many attorneys are in the office? o Who will handle the case? o Has that attorney handled matters of this kind in the past?

Step 4 – Discussing Fees o There are many different ways of charging fees and each attorney will choose to work differently. Be aware of how your attorney charges. Ask: o Do you bill weekly, monthly, or upon completion of work? o Do you charge by the hour? Are there different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries? o Is there a flat fee for this service? o Will there be any out-of-pocket expenses (charges for copies, postage, messenger fees, court fees, deposition fees and other such costs)? o Do you require a retainer?

Elder Law

Step 2 – Call Attorneys o Use our list on the following pages to call some attorneys. o It is not unusual to speak only to an assistant during an initial call. Here are some questions to ask this person: o How long has the attorney been in practice? o Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of law? o How long has he or she been in this field? o What percentage of his or her practice is devoted to Elder or Special Needs Law? o Is there a fee for the first consultation, and if so how much is it? o Given the nature of your problem, what information should you bring with you to the initial consultation?

o 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? o Is that attorney a member of the local bar association, a health advocacy committee, or trust and estates committee? o What is the estimate of the cost to resolve your problem and how long will it take?

Resources Aging Life Care Just What They Needed Continued from 25 “I was getting older, and I was getting lonely. I realized that it was becoming more difficult to live alone,” Shirley said. “I heard about this place, and I investigated and decided it was absolutely ideal for me.” Shirley joined Bea as one of the founding residents of Brandywine at Alexandria, and she couldn’t be happier. Since moving just a few weeks ago, she has thoroughly enjoyed the many amenities the community offers, including the delicious dining options. Theresa Sheffey, one of Shirley’s daughters, has also been thrilled with the move—although she admits she was hesitant at first. “I could see that Mom needed a little more support and attention than we were able to provide with me working full time and my sister living in Charlottesville, but I felt very guilty about moving Mom,” she said. Theresa’s initial guilt began to wane after spending just one night with her mother. “On her first night here, before we went to sleep, I asked mom how she felt and if everything was okay. She said, ‘This is perfect. This is what I need.’ I was so happy, I cried,” she recalled. Beatrice Bobotek and Shirley Sheffey found just what they needed—exactly when they needed it—at Brandywine Living at Alexandria. Now all they need to do is enjoy their new life in their luxury retirement community.

HOUSING life plan communities

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

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

Life Plan Resident Rights A model Bill of Rights The National Continuing Care Residents’ Association (NaCCRA) developed a model bill of rights that applies to all residents of Life Plan Communities (formerly known as continuing care retirement communities). NaCCRA is made up of senior citizens who live in Life Plan Communities throughout the United States. In keeping with their goal to make sure that Life Plan Communities are as good as they can be, for current residents as well as future residents, NaCCRA developed a model bill of rights that can be adopted by Life Plan Communities throughout the country. Several states have already enacted a legislative Bill of Rights for Life Plan Community residents. Model Bill of Rights The residents of a Life Plan Community have the right to: 1. Expect full, prompt and complete fulfillment by the management of those services delineated in their contracts. 2. Establish, organize, fund, develop by-laws for, and operate a resident association. 3. Freely assemble, with or without the participation of management and staff. 4. Select and appoint, in accordance with the resident association’s own by-laws, at least three members of the corporate governing board. 5. Be kept informed by the administration, on an ongoing basis, about all significant issues of management, which directly affect residents’ well-being or their financial investment. 6. Full disclosure of the finances of the corporation, presented at least on an annual basis. 7. A plain English list of those services guaranteed by the contract, as well as a list of those services offered by the community but not guaranteed in the contract

8. Visit the assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, as well as all the amenities associated with independent living, before signing a contract. 9. Be informed in advance of, and to comment on, changes in the delivery of services, including changes in staffing levels. 10. Be informed, at least a month in advance of implementation, about any changes in fees. 11. Participate directly in the governance of the residents association through communication, discussion, and decision-making in open meetings. 12. Raise issues concerning their own well-being, their quality of life, and the sufficiency of their involvement in community life and governance, and to advocate openly for issues of concern to them. 13. Start up and operate informal activities of any kind, so long as they do not impact negatively on the lives of others, violate the law, interfere with other activities in community space and facilities, or require resident association funds. 14. Organize and seek resident association recognition of a new committee or other resident activity needing community facilities or resident association funds. 15. All the benefits of living in the

community, including all the services and amenities on offer, and all regulations applying to community life, provided and enforced impartially and without prejudice, regardless of a resident’s age, gender, race, economic status, professional background, sexual orientation, past or present advocacy of issues and policies applying to community life and governance, past or present activism in the polity outside of the retirement community, or past or present service on boards or committees. 16. Select, based on availability and the resident’s financial qualifications, an independent living apartment of the resident’s choice and to appoint and furnish it to the resident’s taste, within the provisions of the lifecare contract and fire and safety regulations. 17. Participate as fully and meaningfully as possible. When the need to move to an assisted living facility or skilled nursing unit comes under discussion, family members designated by the resident have the right to be kept informed of the resident’s condition and care plan. Residents or their designated medical proxies have the right to refuse medications and treatments. Source: www.naccra.com

Why should these Retirement Communities be on your short list? Nationally, only 15 percent of all Continuing Care Retirement Communities have earned the "seal of approval" from the non-profit CARF Continuing Care Accreditation Commission. The CARF-CCAC is the nation's only system for accrediting continuing care retirement communities.

We are proud that our communities: n n n n

Voluntarily meet the HIGHEST STANDARDS of excellence Submit to regular inspections and reviews Care about our residents' well-being and our staffs' training Maintain financial accountability and competent administration

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

The financial stability of the community and the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly.

Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited health-related services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements) As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower entrance fee than Type A, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. T ype 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 Continued on page 62

HOUSING life plan communities The Right Contract ... Continued from page 60 how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Ogus. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. R esearch the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. Is the management able to make improvements regularly? Will you be working with the same staff regularly, or is there a high turnover rate? 3. U nderstand 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. D etermine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. 8. 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.”

be eligible for health care. Veterans who enlisted after September 7, 1980, must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which they were called. However, there are exceptions to the minimum duty requirements, including early discharge for disability and other special circumstances. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is based on priority groups. Congress determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health

care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that limited funds are provided to higher priority Veterans first. Priority groups range from 1-8, with 1 being the highest priority. Group 1 includes Veterans who are more than 50 percent disabled, while Group 8 is made up of individuals who are not rated as disabled and who have incomes above the VA national threshold. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services. Once a Veteran’s eligibility is verified, they will be assigned a priority group. If an individual is eligible for more than one priority group, the VA will place them in the highest group for which they are eligible. Continued on page 73

Veterans ... Continued from page 70 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 their doctor documenting the need for services, to their Veterans Benefits Administration regional office.

HOUSING Independent Living

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

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 communi-

ties 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.

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

will help you gain perspective on how your current neighborhood or potential neighborhood compares with others. You can quickly see if there are other communities that may be a better fit for your family or loved one—whether they are in the next town or across the country. Policymakers can also use the Livability Index to improve their communities. By fully understanding their scores, decision makers at the local level can set priorities that will help make their communities more livable in the long run. They can easily and quickly see where their communities excel—and where they fall short. This will allow them to advocate for policies and practices that can dramatically improve the lives of residents. Ultimately, the Livability Index is a powerful tool that can help people of all ages find the best neighborhoods

for them. Whether you are a local official, a member of a young family, or an active older adult, you can now identify the best neighborhoods in the regions that you are most interested in living. Armed with this information, you can then target your search for retirement communities, apartments, condos or homes in the neighborhoods that score highest in the areas that matter to you. The Livability Index makes honing your search for a home easy. The innovative tool helps quantify the elusive “good” neighborhood, giving consumers of all types the power to find exactly what they want, exactly where they want it. After all, what makes a neighborhood feel like home is a very personal decision. To learn more about AARP’s Livability Index, or to give it a try, visit livabilityindex.aarp.org.

A Livable Location These fictional examples demonstrate how the Livability Index can serve as an important tool for consumers. Getting Around a Problem Anne has found a neighborhood that seems perfect for her. It has access to plenty of amenities, an engaged population, and great health care. However, it scores low in the area of transportation because it is not near public transportation options. Anne decides to look for apartments in this area that offer complimentary shuttle services to public transportation. Using

the Livability Index and her own research, Anne finds the perfect community. Seeking Engagement A former educator, Phil wants to live in a multigenerational community that offers plenty of opportunities for social and civic engagement. When searching the Livability Index, he places more weight on the engagement and opportunity metrics. While the community he finds may not rank high in every category, he knows that as long as these two needs are met, he will be satisfied in his new neighborhood.

HOUSING Independent Living

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 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 activities. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living communities offer basic services, including meals, supervision and security, and help with personal care needs. For many seniors, the help available at an assisted living facility can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living communities are registered, licensed or certified by an appropriate department or agency of the state that has a process for issuance of initial licenses and for renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers. Residents of assisted living communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic

Elegant Living

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 95

Continued from page 93 • Social services • Transportation services • Outdoor areas for walking or gardening • Supervision and assistance for persons with Alzheimer’s or other dementias and disabilities • Recreational and spiritual activities • Exercise and wellness programs • Laundry and linen service • Housekeeping and maintenance • Individualized services While assisted living communities do provide a high level of care, it is important to consider what is not provided at these communities before selecting one. Assisted living communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living communities do not typically provide the level of continuous skilled nursing care found in nursing homes and hospitals. For

instance, if a prospective resident needs constant care, a nursing home may be a more viable option. There is no set standard for assisted living accommodations. Therefore, options can vary greatly from one assisted living community to the next. For instance, some communities offer private rooms featuring kitchenettes and private bathrooms, while others offer shared units or shared bathrooms. Consumers must consider the prospective resident’s personal needs, financial means and personal preferences before selecting a community. Assisted living communities are constructed and equipped to comply with a host of local, state and federal 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

HOUSING Assisted Living

Small Assisted Living Homes Residential communities offer a close-knit lifestyle Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and

serving of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ across regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. As with any community, it is important to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families. Be sure that you are given specific information about caregiver training, community amenities and costs.

Assisted Living HOUSING

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 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 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

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.

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 longContinued on page 105

Assisted Living HOUSING Balanced Caregiver Continued from 103 term care insurance? Do they have savings to liquidate or assets they’re willing to sell? (The family home may be non-negotiable, but what about the car your senior relatives no longer drive?) What kind of care and services can they afford? Keep in mind that home care costs around $20/ hour and Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care in a nursing home— which averages over $80,000 a year. If you’ve been operating on the assumption that long-term decisions can be made “when the time comes,” you may be in for a harsh dose of reality. There’s no point in spinning your wheels, going over choices that just aren’t viable for your family. 3. Don’t try to do it all. In many cases, a nearby family member, perhaps you, will take on caretaking duties, thinking you can or should be able to handle it all. Plus, Mom really trusts and relies on you and wouldn’t feel

comfortable with a stranger in the home. Things may go along fine for a while, but as the picture turns more complicated, you may quickly become overwhelmed and ineffective. Go ahead and step up if you’re the one who lives closest or has the most time or financial wherewithal to deal with an initial crisis. But then, assess the situation and quickly marshal your resources. Call a family meeting—via Skype, if need be—and find out what other family members are willing and able to do. 4. Manage medications and therapies. Develop a simple system to track medication, prescribed exercises, nutritional supplements and other health related needs. There are websites that allow for information-sharing among family caregivers, which can be great. But a simple calendar or spreadsheet along with pre-filled pill boxes can also work. Make sure the system is user-friendly for all who will rely on

it. Leave a spot for notes to indicate when medications must be refilled or supplies replenished. Keep in mind that most paid caregivers, unless they are nurses, are not allowed to administer medication—in other words, hand out pills. But caregivers can remind people to take their medication and this is often all that is needed. 5. Explore community resources. Finding a handicap-accessible transportation service to take your mom to the hairdresser or to visit friends can go a long way toward maintaining her mental and emotional well-being. If Mom can’t leave the house, look into religious organizations, senior centers and local areas on aging that offer home supports or social calls. If your senior feels isolated and needs more company, sometimes variety can spice up life. Many colleges and schools of social work have volunteer programs for students interested in aging studies.

10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living/Personal Care Facility 1. Make an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions. 4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman who serves as an advocate for assisted living/personal care and nursing home residents. 7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility. 8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate or move to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee. Ask what additional charges apply for services/products. 10. Choose the facility that comes closest to your needs.

The unique bond that comes with caring for a pet creates opportunity for engagement and increased moments of joy. Whether a dog, a cat or even a miniature horse is visiting the community, this tried-and-true technique helps seniors stay connected during the aging process. Spring Hills Senior Communities and Poet’s Walk Memory Care Communities, located throughout the United States, have created memory care environments that provide an engaging atmosphere and promote positivity and compas-

sion. The team members at Spring Hills Senior Communities and Poet’s Walk Memory Care Communities know that pet therapy promotes both physical and mental well-being for seniors. Emerging research in animal assisted therapy indicates that animal-human friendships may have multiple and far-reaching benefits. These include: • A lifted spirit • Improved cardiovascular health • Increased comfort and relaxation • More smiling and moments of joy • Decreased anxiety, agitation and aggression • Reduced feelings of loneliness and isolation • Enhanced communication, engagement and socialization “There is nothing like the unconditional love and joy that pets give us,”

Poet’s Walk Warrenton Executive Director Terra Brown said. “This program will be exciting for our residents. When that pet therapy dog comes to visit, someone’s day will get a little better. This is just another way to bring a smile to a resident’s face and put a gleam in their eyes.” Animal-assisted therapy is just one of the ways that Spring Hills Senior Communities and Poet’s Walk Memory Care Communities are working to help residents live their best lives every day. This program is one of a number of similar efforts designed to help residents connect with each other and their environment—and it is an acknowledgement of the importance of connections at every stage of life. Everyone needs a best friend, and sometimes a best friend with fur is the best kind.

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. 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.

THE BEST. THEM THE

Assisted Living Assisted living facilities offer addi-

tional support for residents, including assistance with the activities of daily living. Many assisted living facilities offer services specifically designed for people with dementia. Skilled Nursing Facilities These communities offer roundthe-clock care for patients. Some nursing homes have specialized units and specially trained staff to accommodate the needs of patients with dementia. Special Care Units Special Care Units, or SCUs, are also called memory care units and are designed to meet the specific needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These units are often located within other residential care options. Some of these units are

locked or secured for the safety of residents. SCUs generally offer other specialized services, including highly trained staff and activities designed for individuals with varying stages of dementia. Information adapted from the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org).

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 Do I Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to

158 Sourcebook17finalk2.indd

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 aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. Continued on page 161

o What is the typical response time if medications are no longer keeping pain under control? o How does the hospice handle patients whose care needs can no longer be met at home? o What happens if the patient needs inpatient care? o Are there any services, medications or equipment that the hospice DOES NOT provide? o What kind of out of pocket expenses should the family anticipate? o How often will a hospice team member visit the patient? o How long will visits last? o What will happen during these visits? o When the hospice orders medication, where can it be picked up, or is it delivered by the hospice? o Do members of the team providing care have additional training and certifications for their hospice and palliative care skills? o What is expected of the family caregiver? o Will the hospice provide training to family caregivers? o Can the hospice provide respite care to give family caregivers a break? o How is respite care arranged? o Is volunteer assistance available through the hospice? o What help do hospice volunteers provide? o How do families receive volunteer help? o What kind of bereavement support is offered by the hospice? o If the patient or family is unhappy with any aspect of care the hospice is providing, who can they contact at the hospice?

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.

Hospice Care ... Continued from page 158 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. Myth: Hospice care is more expensive. Reality: Studies have shown hospice care to be no more costly. Frequently, it is less expensive than conventional care during the last six months of life. Less high-cost technology is used and family, friends and volunteers provide 90 percent of the day-to-day patient care at home. Additionally, patients eligible for Medicare or Medicaid will pay few out-of-pocket expenses related to their hospice care. Most private insurers also cover some or most hospice related expenses.

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 ab-

sences 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 Continued on 170

Aging in Place

Pay for Home Care Understanding costs can help with decision making As the decision to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. Longterm care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your 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.

Aging in Place Home care Planning for Care at Home Continued from 167 organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization. Other Home Care Services Many other care services are provided in the home but are not licensed or paid for by Medicare. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you understand what they can offer, access reputable services, and monitor them on an on-going basis. Non-Medical Aides, Companions and Homemakers There are many types of paid caregiving 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 re-

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

covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, 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.

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.

BRIGHTSTAR CARE PROVIDES THE HIGHEST QUALITY PRIVATE DUTY HOME CARE in the metropolitan washington region We are the only home care brand in the country that has earned the Joint Commission Enterprise Champion for Quality award 5 years running 2013-2017.

Information for All Organization brings news to the visually impaired An organization based out of Silver Spring is continuing to fulfill its mission of bringing the printed word to the visually impaired across the region. Established in 1974, The Metropolitan Washington Ear, Inc. (MWE) is a 501(c) nonprofit that enables the blind, visually impaired and physically disabled to have free access to news and information services. With a team of 350 volunteers, MWE strives to improve the lives of people with little to no vision, helping them be well-informed and fully productive members of their families, communities and the working world. The services are available to those certified as unable to effectively read ordinary print due to visual or

physical limitations. Among the no-cost services is a radio broadcast using radios that are pre-tuned to the MWE station and a subcarrier channel from WETA-FM. With telephone dial-in news, users have the option to skip and scan newspapers, magazines and other collateral, as a sighted person would while reading, by utilizing a touchtone telephone. From The Washington Post to People Magazine, volunteers read various publications into a computer daily, starting early in the morning and covering all sections, which can then be accessed by callers who are also able to control the speed and volume of the recorded voices. Additionally, the organization

provides a personal lookup service each weekday evening and audio description of live stage performances in nine theaters in the metropolitan area. This extends to audio versions of the National Symphony’s printed programs and full schedules of the Strathmore Mansion and Music Center. Documentaries, museums, IMAX films and indoor and outdoor exhibits are also accessible with the help of audio describers trained for these particular venues. To learn more about how this program is bringing timely, entertaining and important news and information to individuals with visual impairment, visit www.washear.org.

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

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.

Home Care

Use these questions to interview providers

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?

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 ac-

tivities 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. Source www.nadsa.org.

Villages Aging in Place

What is a Village? A Village is a community or group of people who want to live in their own homes as they get older, with all the resources needed to live active lives.

Villages focus on building social connections. The are organized events, large and small, that are of interest to their community. Villages may organize book clubs, walking groups, knitting clubs, guest speaker events, group outings and so much more. Many Village events take place at a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home; others take place at a local church, synagogue, mosque, library or community recreation center. Villages often partner with other local organizations to develop programs together.
