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.

Utilize your resources and ask the right questions 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

Breaking
New Ground By Christy Brudin
Frank Simmonds’ connections to Springwell Senior Living Community date back to the 1970s. He is now proud to be an active resident—and the community’s unofficial “mayor.”
E
very successful construction project begins with a strong foundation. The same could be said for every healthy relationship and flourishing community. You have to start from the ground up to build something that will stand the test of time—and the many tests of daily life. Frank Simmonds sees this every day at the local retirement community he calls home, Springwell Senior Living Community. Springwell is located in the historic Mount Washington neighborhood in Baltimore, Md. The community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care on a 15-acre, resort-like campus. A native of Baltimore, Frank left the city as a young man and joined the U.S. Army. During World War II, he was
14
stationed in England, where he worked as a typist at a supply depot. After the war, Frank returned to Baltimore and his previous job as a data processor at the B&O Railroad. Later, he received training from the railroad to become a computer programmer, joining a profession that was in its infancy. While working at the railroad, Frank met his first wife, Boots, and the couple had two children, Stan and Frank. After they divorced, both Frank and Boots married other people. However, they were reunited when their spouses passed away, and they both became residents at Springwell. “After we both moved here, Boots and I were together again, so the family was together again,” Frank said of this unique situation. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com
Cover Story
During the groundbreaking ceremony for The Homestead on May 16, Frank (4th from the left) and several other residents shared words of wisdom with the audience.
Even before Boots joined him at Springwell, Frank had several other strong connections to the community. The first connection dates back to 1971, when Frank’s grandmother, Edith, moved to The Wesley Home, the community located in the building that now houses Springwell. During the eleven years that his grandmother lived in the community, Frank visited often and knew the staff and the building well. Frank was also connected to the community through a friend, Helen Glasgow. After his second wife passed away, Frank became very active in the Reisterstown United Methodist Church, where he met Helen. The couple spent a lot of time together before Frank started to notice some puzzling behaviors and increasing forgetfulness. “Helen got worse and worse,” Frank recalled. “Before I knew it, I was having to make her dinner and manage her bank account. I was doing everything. When she got sick and ended up in the hospital, her sons realized she needed more support and decided to move her to Springwell.” Frank visited Helen often at the community and became more interested in the lifestyle. “I had been living alone for fifteen years, and I couldn’t handle it anymore,” he said. “I retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
chose to live here, and I moved here by myself. I was very excited to join this community.” On his first day as a resident of Springwell, Frank recalled receiving a security pendant, a resident handbook and a copy of the community newsletter. “The next morning, I entered the main hall, stopped, looked around and thought, ‘This is my home,’” he said. “I knew it was exactly where I wanted to be!” For Frank, the transition to his new community was easier due to his willingness to get involved. He uses the community newsletter to peruse all the activities offered on a daily basis. He participates in a wide variety of activities, including religious services, professional entertainment, classes, games and trips. One of Frank’s favorite events is the monthly “Fireside Chats” with the Executive Director of Springwell, Phil Golden. “During these chats, Phil gives us updates on everything that is happening in the community, and we have the chance to ask questions,” Frank explained. “The management involvement doesn’t end there. I can always stop Phil and talk to him anytime I see him, and all the staff is easily accessible.”

Seeking a Solution
A
By Christy Brudin
nnette Huddleston needed help. Her mother had dementia. Her mother’s home had to be sold. Before it could be sold, it needed to be remodeled. And caring for her mother had become a full-time job. After trying and failing to get help from traditional real estate agents, Annette found the solution she was seeking when she contacted Trusted Estate Partners. Trusted Estate Partners provides comprehensive transition services for individuals or families who are downsizing or settling an estate. The company offers customized “all-in-one” packages to ensure a less stressful and more comfortable move experience for families. From handling personal possessions to managing the sale of a home, Trusted Estate Partners helps families with every step of the downsizing and moving process. Annette Huddleston’s mother, Ruth Wilson, loved children. She was the mother of three children, but she was a surrogate mother for countless young people throughout the years. “After my brothers and I went to school, my mother decided to start keeping other children during the day to make a little bit of money,” Annette recalled. “But the primary reason was that she loved children. I really could not tell you how many kids came through our house. It was that house in the neighborhood that was always full of kids. It was wonderful.” Ruth continued to live in the family home for decades after her children grew up and for several years after her husband passed away. As her dementia progressed, she started to experience challenges living alone. One of her sons moved in to help care for her. Later, a cousin lived with her to provide full-time care. When the cousin could no longer live with her, Ruth had to move to an assisted living community. “She really was not happy with the move,” Annette recalled. “She was also very confused. She was constantly asking for us to take her home, but she just couldn’t go home.” At the assisted living community, Ruth suffered a fall and was taken to the hospital. While she was in the hospital, Annette and her husband decided that they would move her mother into their home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. “Initially my mother was so happy because she was going home,” Annette said. “When we got to our house— where she had been countless times over thirty years— she didn’t recognize it, and she was not happy.” That was the beginning of a very difficult six weeks for

the entire family. Ruth still wanted to go home and was not satisfied in Annette’s home. Annette and her husband struggled to care for her and keep her safe. Meanwhile, Annette was trying to begin the process of selling her mother’s home. “After speaking to a couple of realtors, I was very discouraged,” Annette remembered. “They told us all the things that needed to be done to sell the house, and I knew our family just didn’t have the time or the money to do those things.” That is when Annette connected with Trusted Estate Partners and learned about their comprehensive services. The family decided to enlist the company to clean out the home and to direct a renovation partnership to prepare the home to be sold for top market value. The process took several months, but Trusted Estate Partners handled all the details, so Annette could focus on spending time with her mother. Annette and Ruth were together the day she passed away, and Annette was able to express her love and to tell her mother that it was okay to go. Several months after Ruth passed away, the renovation 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

of her former home was completed. Recently, Annette was able to tour the updated home, and she was astonished at the impact of the makeover. “The house is absolutely gorgeous,” Annette said. “It looks like a brand-new home. I wish my mother could see it. It really is beautiful.” Now that the process is complete, Annette is extremely grateful that she turned to experts to help her navigate preparing and selling her mother’s home. “We could not have done this on our own,” she admitted. “Trusted Estate Partners made the selling process so much easier and more pleasant for me and my family.” Annette went on to explain that throughout the process of emptying and renovating the home, she was in constant contact with Susan Gibson of Trusted Estate Partners. “Every time I called, she’d answer, and on the rare occasions that she didn’t, she called me back within 15 minutes. She answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns,” Annette said. When the time came to empty the home of personal possessions, Trusted Estate Partners told Annette and her family to simply take what they wanted and leave everything else. “We were free from all the stuff,” she said. “That made things so much easier on us all.” When she turned to Trusted Estate Partners, Annette

A Not-for-profit Community
life plan communities HOUSING
Life Plan Communities Offering diverse lifestyle options Life Plan Communities are properties offering a combination of living options for older adults. These communities offer an active lifestyle for residents, as well as a wide array of amenities and services. Life Plan Communities were formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). Following a two-year research and review process, a task force led by LeadingAge and Mather LifeWays, identified a new name for CCRCs that would resonate with the boomer target audience. The new name better reflects the communities and their residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;individuals who are active, engaged and focused on the future. Living options available at Life Plan
Communities may include independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing services. These different levels of care are all offered on a single campus. Residents have the option to have all their current or future healthcare needs met without ever leaving campus. Life Plan Communities afford residents endless opportunities to remain active and involved. These communities generally appeal to young, healthy older adults. Amenities vary widely but often include swimming pools, fitness centers, gardening areas, and golf courses or putting greens. Additionally, residents have access to hundreds of clubs and activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from art classes to yoga classes and from drama clubs
to walking groups. Residents are also very involved in the operation and management of Life Plan Communities through resident boards or councils. Finally, Life Plan Communities are generally integrated into the larger community. With active residents, these communities can focus on giving back and acting as a socially responsible neighbor. Life Plan Communities give older adults the freedom and security to live active, healthy lives. They are the perfect option for individuals who want to plan ahead for future care needs, while focusing on enjoying every day. Source: lifeplancommunity.org

Life Plan Resident Rights A model Bill of Rights The National Continuing Care 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. Continued on page 25

Why Should These Retirement Communities be on Your Short List? Because they are accredited.
Nationally, only 15 percent of all Life Plan 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.

Reviewing Life Plan Contracts Understanding different options Life Plan Communities offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A resident can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most Life Plan Communities establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee
and regular monthly payments. There are three basic types of Life Plan Community contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments. An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can re-
ceive care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities. While emergency and shortterm nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. Most Life Plan Communities provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Potential residents should carefully review all contract options available to new residents.

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.

Independent Living Options Services available in Maryland In Maryland, some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program.” Congregate Meals Congregate meals are offered in more than 250 meal sites including senior centers, religious facilities, housing facilities or other community sites throughout Maryland. Many meal program locations are within state-of-the-art facilities and offer a variety of engaging activities such as health promotion and exercise centers. Meal sites offer an opportunity to meet new friends and participate in
other social or health-related programs, including nutrition education, physical activity and health screening. In 2015, seniors received nearly 1.1 million meals in congregate settings throughout Maryland. Congregate Housing Services Program The mission of the Congregate Housing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies to eligible residents of low and moderate income senior housing who, due to advanced age or chronic health conditions, need daily help with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping and personal services.
retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
The cost of the Congregate Housing Services Program varies by site. Individual program participants contribute to the cost based on a sliding scale. State subsidies are available for eligible residents of participating sites who require financial assistance. To qualify for a subsidy, an individual’s income may not exceed 60 percent of the State median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple. To view a list of congregate housing sites in Maryland or to receive additional information on local housing programs, contact your local Senior Information and Assistance Program or visit aging.maryland.gov.

Assisted Living HOUSING
Assisted Living
Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living communities offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily living. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living communities offer basic services, including meals, supervision and security, and help with personal care needs. For many seniors, the help available at an assisted living facility can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living communities are registered, licensed or certified by an appropriate department or agency of the state that has a process for issuance of initial licenses and for renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers. Residents of assisted living communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic
activities, frequently called the activities of daily living (or ADLs). Some communities may accept residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In fact, some communities may specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. A few communities serve individuals of any age with developmental disabilities. When reviewing assisted living communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have. The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the residents. One key offering is 24-hour supervision of the residents and the property. Resident safety and security is a priority at all assisted living communities.
All communities also offer three meals a day in a group dining room. However, dining options can vary dramatically in terms of the meals available and the costs associated with meal plans. Finally, all assisted living communities offer personal care services, also known as help with the ADLs. These services include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Other services and activities available at some assisted living communities include: • Medication management, or assistance with self-administration of medicine • Coordination of services by outside health care providers • Assistance with arranging medical, health, and dental care services Continued on page 51

Assisted Living HOUSING Assisted Living Continued from 49 • 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

Pay for Assisted Living/ Personal Care Know your options when paying for care When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer
subsidies for rent to those who are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living/personal care costs are covered through private payments by residents and families.
retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. 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.

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

HOUSING Nursing & Rehabilitation Myths About Nursing Continued from page 71 aspects of life. Resident councils provide residents a say in care. These self-governing bodies of residents voice concerns to staff. Residents are also encouraged to prepare advance directives to specify and safeguard care preferences in the event they are unable to express their wishes. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care centers are unreasonably expensive. Fact: Long term and post-hospital care costs vary, depending upon the level of care provided and where the center is located. Overall, Skilled Nursing Care centers represent the lowest cost setting for 24-hour professional skilled nursing and rehabilitative care for both short and long term stays. Myth: Skilled Nursing Care centers do not provide quality care.
Fact: Skilled Nursing Care centers are operated by trained professionals who are committed to quality care. Shortly after admission, staff will hold a care plan meeting with residents and their loved ones to guide future care decisions. Residents and loved ones can bring up any concerns with staff members or contact a long-term care ombudsman. Myth: Medicare or health insurance will pay for a long stay. Fact: Many people mistakenly assume that Medicare or health insurance will cover long-term care costs. Medicare does not provide a comprehensive long-term care component. If certain conditions are met, Medicare offers limited coverage for Medicare beneficiaries who require Skilled Nursing Care. For days 1–20, Medicare will pay 100 percent of covered services; for days 21–100, you or your loved one will need to pay a daily copayment. The

daily copayment can change each year. To receive coverage, you or your loved one must have been admitted to a hospital for at least a three-night stay just prior to receiving care from a Medicare-certified Skilled Nursing Care center.

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 For older adults with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, moving to a residential memory care facility may be the best option. These communities can offer varying levels of care, depending on the needs of the patient. They also offer valuable peace of mind for family members and caregivers, who may no longer be able to provide care at home. Most retirement living communities offer options for individuals with memory care needs. Before selecting a community, potential residents and their families should carefully evaluate their current and future care needs. Consumers should also familiarize themselves with the wide variety of community options available. More information about
housing options is available on page 21 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.
Some nursing homes have specialized units and specially trained staff to accommodate the needs of patients with dementia.
Assisted Living Assisted living facilities offer additional support for residents, including assistance with the activities of daily living. Many assisted living facilities offer services specifically designed for people with dementia.
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.
Skilled Nursing Facilities These communities offer round-the-clock care for patients.

Specialized Care Hospice
Hospice Care Improving the quality of life remaining A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. How Does One Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for pa-

tients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in
long-term care facilities or in-patient hospice residential settings. What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer shortterm inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones
800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com 5/30/17 3:27 PM
Hospice Specialized Care will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. The National Hospice and Pallia-
tive 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 outof-pocket expenses related to their hospice care. Most private insurers also cover some or most hospice related expenses. Myth: You can’t keep your own doctor if you enter hospice. Reality: Hospice physicians work closely with your doctor of choice to determine a plan of care.

Hospice Care Use this checklist to review options Many individuals and families could benefit from hospice care but are unaware of how to access hospice services. Some are afraid to discuss it, some wait for a physician to suggest it, and some don’t know that they can initiate hospice care on their own, as long as eligibility standards are met. If hospice seems like the right choice at this time, here is how to proceed: DETERMINING NEED o D oes the patient want hospice care? Did they express their wishes before they got sick? o What does the patient’s healthcare provider think about moving them to hospice care? o Is the patient still responding to treatments? o Have treatments become physically or emotionally difficult or intolerable? o Does the patient have end-stage Alzheimer’s disease? ELIGIBILITY

o D oes the physician agree that hospice care would be beneficial? o Can a medical provider recommend a hospice provider? ASSESSMENT o Call potential providers and request assessments. o Are assessments provided at no cost and with no obligations? o Can a clinician come to the home or to the hospital or facility to evaluate the patient?
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?

Home Care Receive assistance at home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care includes companion care, home healthcare, or skilled nursing. COMPANION CARE is provided
by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of the tasks that family members would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of companion care providers are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available. HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require

skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exercises, housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders and transportation. SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed by a physician and is administered by a registered nurse. The services provided by skilled nurses include: administering injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more.

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. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from state to state, you will need to contact your
local Area Agency on Aging for more information concerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also cover a limited number of skilled home visits. Costs for these services vary greatly depending upon coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Contact your local Office on Aging or State Department of Health to find
out if there are funds from social services block grants available to cover home care costs.

Planning For Care At Home by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff, CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care AssociationTM Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy If you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home. What if You Become Homebound? If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life
Care Manager™ can help you access licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and discharge planner if you are in the hospital or a nursing facility and need to decide on and plan for services in your home once you are discharged. However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services.”
You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety. Accessing services These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health agency certified to provide Medicare-reimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospital-based organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals Continued on 109

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

Medicare 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
108
It is important for older adults and their families to fully understand which home health care benefits will be covered by Medicare and which will require private payments.
• 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 includ-
ed 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.

Non-Medical Aides, Companions and Homemakers There are many types of paid care giving services available—often called non-medical aides, companions and homemakers—who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes, and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures
retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability insurance and is responsible for all employment taxes and employee bonding. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable agency and get important questions answered, such as: do they check police and driver license records; do they provide supervision; how do they handle cancellations; and how long have they been in business?

Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis. Choosing a Provider Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and

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

Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother. Source www.nadsa.org.

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

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

Elder Law
What is elder or special needs law? Legal issues that affect people as they age and people with special needs are growing in number. Our laws and regulations are becoming more complex, and each state has different laws. Actions taken with regard to a single matter may have unintended legal outcomes. It is important for attorneys working with seniors, people with special needs, and their families to have a broad understanding of the laws that may have an impact on a given situation to avoid future problems. Elder and Special Needs Law encompasses many different fields of law. Some of these include: • Preservation/transfer of assets seeking to avoid spousal impoverishment when one spouse enters a nursing home • Medicaid
• Medicare claims and appeals • Social Security and disability claims and appeals • Supplemental and long-term health insurance issues • Tax planning • Disability planning, including use of durable powers of attorney, living trusts, “living wills” for financial management and health care decisions, and other means of delegating management and decision-making to another in case of incompetency or incapacity • Access to health care in a managed care environment • Conservatorships and guardianships • Estate planning, including planning for the management of one’s estate during life and its disposition on death through the use of trusts, wills
and other planning documents • Probate and administration of estates • Administration and management of trusts • Long-term care placements in nursing homes and life-care communities • Nursing home issues, including questions of patients’ rights and nursing home quality • Elder abuse and fraud recovery cases • Housing issues, including discrimination and home equity conversions • Age discrimination in employment • Retirement, including public and private retirement benefits, survivor benefits and pension benefits • Health law • Mental health law Source: www. naela.org

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

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?

Understanding Elder Law Find an attorney to meet your legal needs An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the
sometimes difficult decisions involved in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients to other professional and/or non-legal resources that are available to help meet their needs. Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there non-legal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this
retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990
difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? To pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you must know your needs. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar with your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else. Know your own financial limitations and the financial benefits of engaging the services of a specific attorney. In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an expensive package. Be a smart consumer.

Resources Aging Life Care
Understand Aging Life Care™ Acting as guides and advocates for families Aging Life Care / geriatric care management is a holistic, client-centered approach to caring for older adults or others facing ongoing health challenges. What is an Aging Life Care Professional? An Aging Life Care Professional™, also known as a geriatric care manager, is a health and human services specialist who acts as a guide and advocate for families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults. The Aging Life Care Professional is educated and experienced in any of several fields related to aging life care / care management, including, but not limited to gerontology, nursing, social work, psychology or occupational therapy. The Aging Life Care Professional assists clients in attaining their maximum functional potential. The individual’s independence is encouraged, while safety and security concerns are also addressed. Aging Life Care Professionals have extensive knowledge about the costs, quality and availability of resources in their communities. Aging Life Care Professionals are members of the Aging Life Care Association™ (ALCA) and differ from Patient Advocates, Senior Advisors, Senior Navigators and Elder Advocates. ALCA members must meet the stringent education, experience and certification requirements of the organization, and all members are required to adhere to a strict code of ethics and standards of practice. What Services do Aging Life Care Professionals Provide? Aging Life Care Professionals provide guidance to help families ensure quality care and an optimal life for those they love through: • Assessment and monitoring • Planning and problem-solving • Education and advocacy
126
• Family caregiver coaching • Long-distance caregiving Aging Life Care Professionals are engaged to assist in a variety of areas, such as: • Housing – helping families evaluate and select the appropriate level of housing or residential options. • Home care services – determining the types of services that are right for a client and assisting the family to engage and monitor those services. • Medical management – attending doctor appointments, facilitating communication between doctor, client and family, and if appropriate, monitoring client’s adherence to medical orders and instructions. • Communication – keeping family members and professionals informed as to the well-being and changing needs of the client. • Social activities – providing opportunities for the client to engage in social, recreational or cultural activities that enrich quality of life. • Legal – referring to or consulting with an elder law attorney; providing expert opinions for courts in determining level of care. • Financial – may include reviewing or overseeing bill paying or consulting with accountant or client’s Power of Attorney. • Entitlements – providing information on Federal and state entitlements; connecting families to local programs. • Safety and security – monitoring the client at home; recommending technologies to add to security or safety; observing changes and potential risks of exploitation or abuse. • Long-distance care – coordinating the care of a loved one for families that live at a distance, including crisis management. Local, cost-effective resources are identified and engaged as needed. A care plan tailored for each individual’s circumstances is prepared after a comprehensive assessment.
The Aging Life Care Professional assists clients in attaining their maximum functional potential.
How do you know that you need an Aging Life Care Professional? You may need an Aging Life Care Professional if: • The person you are caring for has limited or no family support. • Your family has just become involved with helping the individual and needs direction about available services. • The person you are caring for has multiple medical or psychological issues. • The person you are caring for is unable to live safely in his/her current environment. • Your family is either “burned out” or confused about care solutions. • Your family has limited time and/or expertise in dealing with your loved ones’ chronic care needs. • Your family is at odds regarding care decisions. • The person you are caring for is not pleased with current care providers and requires advocacy. • The person you are caring for is confused about his/her own financial and/or legal situation. • Your family needs education and/ or direction in dealing with behaviors associated with dementia. • You live at a distance from your loved one.
