Home Health Definitions: Hospice is a comprehensive program of care to patients and families facing a life threatening illness. Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment. The dying are comforted. Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided. Very few Home Health Agencies are also licensed for Hospice care.

In-Home Care/Personal Care is care related to activities of daily living, including: mobility, eating, toileting, bathing and personal hygiene, dressing and grooming or cognition support. These services are usually provided on a private pay basis and do not require a physician’s order.

Cardiac Care refers to services including patient assessment, specific diet information, and management of the disease process, medication management and education. Cardiac rehabilitation is a program designed to help a person with heart disease return to health. Cardiac rehabilitation may consist of exercise, modifying risk factors to prevent further heart damage, or psychological rehabilitation.

Psychiatric Services refers to the agencies ability to offer services related to psychiatric support with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness. Services may include counseling or administering of medications.

Respite Care is short-term or temporary. It is designed to give families a break from the

Therapy Services (ST, PT, OT, RT)

stress of daily caregiving. Respite care can be for a few hours, overnight, or for days. The amount of care changes with the needs of the family and the ill or disabled person.

Speech Therapy (ST) refers to services to assess and treat speech and swallowing disorders. Speech therapy can treat speech, language, cognitive skills or swallowing. A Therapist provides individually designed treatment programs to maximize communication and swallowing. Depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, common treatments may range from changes in food consistence, physical strengthening exercises, repetitive practice, to the use of audio-visual aids.

24 hour care is “round the clock treatment” in a home environment. The care may be shared by multiple caregivers or by a single caregiver.

Skilled Nursing is a higher level of care where services are preformed by a licensed Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse. Skilled Nursing includes, but is not limited to patient assessments, performance of prescribed medical treatments, administration of prescribed medications, education for the patient and the caregiver (if available) related to the disease process, treatment, health measures and medication management. Skilled Nurses provide medical care as prescribed by physician.

Social Worker refers to a clinical social worker whose purpose in health care is to enhance, promote, maintain, and restore the best possible social abilities of the patient or family. Services provided may be preventive, developmental, or remedial in nature.

Home Health Aides provide support services such as personal care which do not require a licensed nurse. Medicare does not cover home health aides unless the person is also receiving skilled nursing care or other therapy. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) provide personal care such as bathing, dressing, transporting and other essential activities.

Intravenous Therapy is any medical treatments/medications that need to be introduced to the body via a patient’s veins. Numerous IV Therapies can be provided in-home under supervision of a MD. Some of these include: inter-infective/antibiotic therapies, hydration therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and central line care and maintenance.

Diabetic Management refers to services including patient assessment, diet information, management of the disease process, medication management and education on all of the above. Services are provided by a Registered Nurse under the supervision of an M.D. Some agencies may employ certified diabetic nurse instructors or cardiac care specialty RN’s.

Physical Therapy (PT) refers to services for the treatment and the rehabilitation process where a physical therapist will often stretch, strengthen, facilitate muscles, challenge balance, test coordination abilities, teach home exercise programs and enhance basic mobility skills. Exercise techniques are only part of the special skills used by therapists to treat patients to help lessen disability, pain and improve overall function and quality of life. Therapists may also use special equipment when treating patients which help aid in the healing and recovery of an injury. Occupational Therapy, (OT) Refers to services to assess and treat patients to improve their ability to perform tasks in their daily living and working environments. Patients may have mental, physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities. Therapists also help them to develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. Occupational therapists help clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. The goal is to help patients become as independent, productive, and satisfied as possible. Respiratory Therapy (RT) Refers to services for care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system. It may include the therapeutic use of medical gases and their equipment, environmental control systems, humidification, aerosols, ventilator support, bronchi pulmonary drainage and exercise, respiratory rehabilitation, assistance with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and maintenance of natural, artificial, and mechanical airways.

Strategies to Manage Long-Distance Caregiving We live in a very mobile society where family members don’t always live in the same town or even the same state. According to the National Institute on Aging, approximately seven million Americans are long-distance caregivers. Identifying strategies for long-distance caregiving will make the challenges of caring for aging parents or loved ones more manageable. Below are tips for longdistance caregiving:

Establish Contacts in Your Aging Parents’ Community Make a list of family, friends and neighbors’ phone numbers and addresses. Ask if you can check in with them to find out how your loved one is . They may also be willing to stop by your loved one’s home for regular visits.

Stay in Touch Keep in touch with your loved one by phone, letters, and e-mail. Record any changes you sense in his or her personality or ability to function day by day.

Make Observations During Visits When you are able to visit your parents, pay attention to any changes in grooming, eating, or social activities. Look for changes in the way he or she manages money, cleans, shops, and gets around.

Keep Track of Important Information Find out where your parents keep important documents such as his or her insurance policies, bank account numbers, investments, living will and power of attorney (for legal, financial, and health care purposes). It’s also beneficial to

have a list of physicians that your relative is seeing, and any hospitals or clinics that are involved in his or her medical care, and any medications he or she is taking.

Identify Community Resources &Professionals Research local area agencies on aging, senior centers, churches, synagogues, or other volunteer organizations about available resources for seniors. There are several options for aging parents who need additional assistance.

Involve Your Parent Allow your parents to retain as much decision-making ability as possible. Your primary objective is to help your loved one to fulfill his/her needs, not to take over your relative’s life. In some situations, when your loved one is unable to make decisions, you may need to do so on his/her behalf.

Take Time for Yourself Caregiving can have an emotional and physical toll on caregivers, especially when done long-distance. Make sure you are eating right, getting enough rest, exercising regularly and keeping up with your own medical needs. By taking the time to address these longdistance caregiving issues, your family will have the much-needed sense of security, comfort and hopefully the ability to create new memories with your aging loved ones for many years to come!

Providence ElderPlace: Medical Coverage, Long-Term Care and Social Services—All In One Providence ElderPlace is part of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) that combines medical coverage with long-term care and social services. A federally recognized program, there are over 40 PACE sites throughout the United States, but only one in Oregon. Our goal is to keep older adults healthy and independent and living in the community for as long as possible. ElderPlace does this by providing and coordinating high-quality health and social services that are designed to meet the needs of each individual. Our person-centered program is a welcome relief to seniors, families and caregivers. It allows families to spend quality time together, without the stress of taking time off work to arrange medical and dental appointments and transportation to those appointments. The ElderPlace program covers all medical services. This includes doctor visits, lab and other tests, medical equipment and devices, home services, specialist services, supplies and medications, including overthe-counter medications. The program also includes housing placement, transportation coordination and social center activities. Anyone who is age 55 or older, able to live in the community (including adult foster homes, assisted living facilities and residential care facilities), living in or willing to relocate to Multnomah County, and meet state eligibility guidelines can join Providence ElderPlace.

How Do We Get Mission Centered? In today’s healthcare market we are all faced with motivating our staff and encouraging them to give 100 percent. It is critical to our mission, our reputation, and our overall success to have a team striving to reach their goals. So how do we encourage our staff to always strive for giving so much in an environment that can be so stressful? It starts at orientation. This is where the message is delivered, the expectations lined out and the support identified to help your staff deliver high quality care. Unfortunately, this can be the first and last time they hear about the organizations Mission statement. This is a major blunder for most organizations; if the Mission statement isn’t followed everyday, it is lost and forgotten or even worse joked about by employees. Creating a new hire orientation class that empowers your employees and makes them feel like they are truly part of the organization is the best way to start them on the right foot. Second, the message has to stay alive and positive; this is not easy and involves a commitment from your leadership team to make it happen. This can be accomplished by consistently using the Mission statement as a gauge in your discussions with staff, family and peers. During celebrations refer to how “mission centered” their actions were. You can also use this consistent message when counseling an employee. Ultimately, everything revolves around the Mission Statement.

Families have many choices for healthcare delivery in today’s market and they are much more thorough in their searches than in years past. Having a Mission statement they see and hear everyday consistently reminds them that you are on track with what you promised them and their family members.

How to integrate your mission statement: Create new hire class with emphasis on your mission and why it is your mission. How many of your current employees know your mission statement? If it is a low number then I recommend a campaign to roll out your mission statement. Is your mission statement in your building posted for all to see, is it used in your printed materials for both internal and external customers? Does your leadership refer to the mission when talking with staff and family? Is your Mission Statement your guide or just words? By Sarah Ross, American Medical Response, 503-736-3433,www.amr.net.

Profile: American Medical Response Disaster Preparedness—Make a Plan/Practice the Plan Is your facility, your family, and your staff ready for a disaster? With the devastation of Katrina and Rita, many people have been left wondering if they are truly prepared for a disaster of that magnitude. Obviously, we have few hurricanes here in the Northwest however all Oregonians are at risk of suffering the devastation that can occur in an earthquake. It is not a matter of if but when and unlike hurricanes, earthquakes give no advance warning of attack. The question to ask yourself is if an earthquake occurred today and shut down communication and resources, could you safely care for the sick and now possibly newly injured residents for up to 72 hours with the staff you have on hand? Put your plan on paper and have your facility practice a mock drill within the facility. Make the plan realistic enough to arm your staff with the ability to make good decisions that keep residents safe and the staff encouraged to stay and help. To keep employees concentrated on their tasks it is important for them to understand their role in an emergency. The City of Portland recommends that you create a Fire/Life Safety Team comprised of a Safety Director, Building Response Team, Floor Wardens, and Assistant Monitors. This safety team handles all emergencies and is armed with duties that are pre-determined and practiced.

Every facility has practiced a fire drill and handling a disaster situation is much the same. The additional challenge in an earthquake is that there may be other emergencies that occur secondary to the earthquake like fires, exposure to gas fumes etc. You need an educated team ready to respond to these emergencies that are trained and able to lead the others through an intense event. To help your employees and their families prepare for a disaster contact your local Red Cross and ask for information about protecting their homes and preparing disaster kits. American Medical Response is the largest ambulance company in the United States and supplied 220 emergency workers and over 80 ambulances from across the nation to those affected by Katrina. I would like to applaud all of these emergency workers for their dedication to serving others, I would also like to applaud AMR who went the extra mile to assure the families of those affected by Katrina and those that went to help were well taken care of during this time. They had a plan and it worked. By Sarah Ross, American Medical Response, 503-736-3433,www.amr.net.

Considering Downsizing Are you considering moving and maybe faced with downsizing? No need to worry; now you can relax because there are companies that specialize in helping you with your moving needs. Two types of businesses that complement each other and help you reduce the stress of moving are Move Managers and Estate Sales Professionals. Move Managers work with you to decide the best methods to downsize, pack your home and move your belongings. Frequently Move Managers also provide packing and unpacking services as part of their service offering. This kind of service really reduces the physical and emotional strain of moving. When it comes to reducing the amount of your personal belongings, many times Move Managers will recommend enlisting the help of an Estate Sales Professional to manage an estate sale for you as a cost effective and efficient way to transition those personal treasures that just won’t fit into your new home.

Estate Sales Professionals have experience valuing collectibles and antiques and are familiar with current market values of more contemporary goods. They will assess the condition of your household goods, research and organize them and establish values for the sale. They will arrange for advertising and finally manage the sale.

Time to move?

Estate Sales can be held before or after a move, working with the home owner a Move Manager can identify what personal property is to go to the new place and call upon the Estate Sales Professional to begin the process for the sale. When everything is done many clients remark that this was one of their easiest moves and they can’t imagine how they would have done it on their own.

Housing Definitions: Adult Day Care Programs offer a protective setting during the day, for those who cannot be left alone due to health care and social needs. The structured program within a community setting offers: socialization, planned activities, care services, companionship and meals. Adult Day Care provides daytime respite for the caregiver who typically works, needs time for other responsibilities, to simply to take a break. Some programs are designed for older adults with dementia and/or physical limitations. Programs through senior housing communities that are listed in this guide must be able accept non-residents to be included. Adult Care Home or Adult Foster Care are private residences that provides a home-like setting, and serves 5 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions, such as personal care, housekeeping and activities and group meals. There are three levels of Adult Foster Care Home licenses. The classification system is based on level of care the Adult Foster Home may provide to residents who live in the home as well as the experience and training of the providers and their ability to assist residents with: personal hygiene, mobility, eating, dressing, toileting, and behavior management. Residents may require very light assistance or may be dependent with several care needs; it is best to ask individual locations for their specific policies and license. Assisted Living Communities are State-regulated rental properties where six or more residents may reside. Care assistance is available, including: medication management, bathing, dressing, toileting and eating. Apartments must be fully self-contained private living units with a lockable door, private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities. The fee schedule is regular monthly rent along with additional fees for specific services and amenities. Assisted living communities are best suited for individuals who want to remain as independent as possible and who are able to direct their own care. CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) are communities that include a continuum of care from independent living, assisted living, residential care and skilled nursing services all on one campus, allowing individuals to live within the same community as their needs progress through the spectrum of care. They typically offer the full selection of amenities associated with retirement living. An endowment fee in addition to a monthly maintenance fee can be expected. Independent Living Communities provide residents an independent living setting without the burden of home ownership. Typically, residency is established on a monthly rental basis. Residents live in fully equipped private apartments or cottages from studios to large two-bedroom units that may be rental-assisted or market-rate depending on the community. Amenities and hospitality services such as housekeeping, linen service, transportation and social and recreational activities may be included, provided for an additional charge, or may not be available at all. These communities do not provide assistance with activities of daily living or personal care.

Visit us online at www.RetirementConnection.com/portland Memory Care or Dementia Communities offer or provide care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia in a home like environment. These communities, must receive an endorsement and is governed by additional regulations that are specifically intended to support individuals with dementia, including: a secure building that alerts staff if a resident has exited, a secure outdoor area that provides outdoor freedom safely, interior finishes that are non-glare and well lit, and visual contrasts between floors, walls and doorways. Alzheimer’s units must also have programs, which include: gross motor, self care, social, craft, sensory enhancement and outdoor activities. Rehabilitation & Therapy is treatment for an injury, illness, or pain with the goal of restoring function, including nursing and therapy services. Rehab is ordered by a physician and services are provided by nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Examples include working with a physical therapist to help you walk and with an occupational therapist to help you get dressed.

Residential Care Facilities provide housing and supportive services for six or more people who do not require 24 hour nursing care. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the level of care provided and the size and amenities of each apartment. Accommodations are typically in a home like setting and may range from a shared bedroom with common bathroom, to private apartments with kitchenette and private bathroom. Monthly fees vary greatly based on unit amenities and care services. Many residential care facilities specialize in caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Respite Care is short term relief for family caregivers to take a break from the caregiving responsibilities and allows for a healthier and better quality of life for both the caregiver and care receiver.. Respite services include: companionship, personal care, recreational activities and security. Respite care can be provided as short stay or for a longer period that allows the family caregiver to go on vacation or a business trip. Longer duration respite care is generally found at select senior housing communities although some Companion services may provide this service in the home. Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) or Nursing Homes are State-licensed facilities that provide a safe, therapeutic environment for individuals who require rehabilitative care or can no longer live independently due to functional or cognitive impairment. Nursing Homes offer 24-hour skilled nursing care and medical services by registered nurses and support professionals. This is the highest level of care that can be provided that is not hospitalization. Additionally, nursing facilities offer residents planned social, recreational and spiritual activities. Nursing facilities are most appropriate for people who need 24-hour medical oversight and a protective/structured setting. Most residents must share their room, but residents are allowed to bring personal items to encourage a more home-like atmosphere.

Companionship and Intimacy It isn’t just for the young. Being connected to other individuals is one of the best ways to age successfully. According to Pew internet American Life project on on-line dating, 47% of older adults (65+) are still married or in committed relationships. 48% of older adults (65+) are not in a relationship and aren’t looking. A whopping 2% of you are looking for relationships. Where do you find yourself? Are you looking, happily married or have you given up?! If you’re lucky enough to be in the 47% who are still happily married, are you taking care of your relationship? Are you taking romantic getaways, walks on the beach? Are you still intimate? There are many travel groups that specialize in getaways for older adults. You can find getaways by talking to your travel agent or looking on line. Intimacy may not look the same as it did when you were younger, but it is still worth experiencing. There are a number of reasons older adults are not experiencing sexual intimacy. Some prescription medications can decrease the desire for intimacy; such as diuretics and antidepressants. Talk to your physician about your options to bring the spark back. Too much alcohol lowers your sensation levels. One glass of wine is fine but not the whole bottle. Generally, you shouldn’t have to worry about getting pregnant, but you do need to worry about sexual transmitted diseases if you are not in a committed relationship. There are a number of benefits

to sexual intimacy: it can be considered moderate exercise, the endorphins released help lift depression, and it can help you sleep better. If you are not in a committed relationship and you don’t want one, you still need to stay connected to people in other ways. Have your friends over for lunch, play cards, join a social group. It is a lot easier to stay connected if you are with people who share common experiences. Seek out others with your common likes, and foster a better relationship.

Finally, for the 2% of you who are looking for a relationship, you also have many options. Say hello the nice friendly man in the doctor’s office. Strike up a conversation with the women in the grocery store- she may make you diner. Try an on-line dating service specialized for senior citizens. The most important thing is to connect with others, in whichever avenue you are seeking. Do not withdraw. Socializing is a skill, and like other skills- use it or lose it.

There is more to life than bingo

*/%&1&/%&/5 t "44*45&% -*7*/( t .&.03: $"3&

Senior living has changed and the possibilities are quite endless! Bingo is a lot of fun and don’t ever knock it. But today’s seniors are demanding more variety. The days are gone of living in fear of limited choices. Senior living has changed and the possibilities are quite endless! Many communities now focus their activities calendars on creating an “Optimum Life.” There are six dimensions to Optimum Life that everyone can start to incorporate into their lives today, they follow with some examples:

Purposeful: Living History-recording family memories, mentoring children, editing newsletter or calendar, making cards for hospitals, flower arranging for table centerpieces, taking photos for the community.

Spiritual: memory or meditation gardens, sending cards to parishioners in need, pastoral visits, holiday celebrations, or bible study.

Emotional: Aromatherapy, music, occupation based activities, pet visits, video postcards from families and friends.

Social: Celebrations, music and entertainment, outings to local senior centers, Red Hat Society meetings, bridge clubs, visits from youth groups, or taste testing events.

Intellectual: Brain teasers, art lessons, educational videos, trivia, resident committees, or puzzles.

Physical: Circuit training, fishing, gardening, swimming, stretching exercises or simply walking.

Visit us online at www.RetirementConnection.com/portland

When evaluating an activities calendar, try to find communities that address these varied dimensions. Look for events and programs that address your needs and interests. Prior to visiting a senior living community, you may want to make a list of your favorite hobbies and also create a list of possible new interests, and make a list of all of your questions. One important thing to remember: often a community’s activities calendar is a reflection of the interests and talents of the residents who live there; so—as residents move in, age in place, or move out, an Activity Director is challenged to meet these ever changing needs. These six dimensions can be incorporated in our lives, regardless of physical or cognitive ability. By choosing “Optimum Life, we are improving our quality of life considerably by increasing mobility, energy, memory, happiness; decreasing anxiety and depression; improving immunity, and overall wellness.My grandmother once told me the secret to life is to keep moving, no matter how you choose to do it, keep learning something new and always try and never give up, always believe in yourself and remember that you are valued and loved! I believe she used these six dimensions all throughout her life. Could it really be that simple? Who knew?

Navigating Housing Options Where do I begin, a step by step plan. The doctor just informed you that it would be unsafe for your senior loved one to return to their home without 24/7 supervision. You have limited time to find a new ‘home’. Where do you begin to find your way through the maze of housing options, care needs, budget and amenities? Don’t go it alone- Referral agencies and placement consultants are a valuable resource to save time and anxiety. These professionals are familiar with the numerous options and availability. Many also review the state survey and public disclosure file for any record of criminal activity or lack of compliance with laws and regulations.

Step 1: Gain detailed knowledge of the medical/ assistance needs of the resident. This will narrow the type of community to those that are licensed and capable of providing the proper care. It may be awkward for families to ask the personal questions related to care needs and personal assistance; sometimes an objective third person is able to ask more detailed questions and uncover concerns or fears while helping the resident maintain a sense of privacy.

Step 2: Know your budget. Community fees may vary, with application fees, deposits, levels of care and ancillary services. A placement consultant may be able to help you to better balance the big picture. It is also important to plan for future care needs, as community fees may be acceptable now, but your needs change.

Step 3: Focus on the geographic area that fits best. This is a new chapter in their life, and they will be creating a whole new social network. The goal is to accommodate frequent visitation of the resident’s support system. Proximity to an established network of friends and family is an important factor, should any healthcare or emotional changes occur.

Step 4: Visit the communities. After narrowing the field to those that best fit your needs, you will be better able to look at the amenities, services and activities. Get to know the activities offered, meet the staff, and try the food. These are the things that make a community feel like home and help aid the adjustment process. It is a good idea to have a list of questions prepared when visiting communities, and to ask the same questions set of questions to each. Many existing checklists are available to assist you through the process. Consultants are familiar with numerous communities, services offered, fee structures, and activity programs. Fees are paid by the communities, and the service is free to you! The benefit is a reliable and knowledgeable resource at no cost to you or your family.

Assisted Living Resources Licensing requirements for assisted living facilities vary by state and can be known by as many as 26 different names including: residential care, board and care, congregate care, and personal care. A complete list of each stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terminology and state regulations can be found at: http://aspe. hhs.gov/daltcp/Reports/04alcom.htm

Choosing A Community A good match between a community and a residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs depends as much on the philosophy and services as it does on the quality of care. The following suggestions can help you get started in your search for a safe, comfortable and appropriate assisted living community: ď&#x201A;Ą What are your future needs and how will the community meet those needs? ď&#x201A;Ą Is the community close to family and friends? Are there any shopping centers or other businesses nearby (within walking distance)?

These steps should also be considered: ď&#x201A;Ą Contact your stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term care ombudsman to see if any complaints have recently been filed against the assisted living community you are interested in. In many states, the ombudsman checks on conditions at assisted living units and nursing homes. ď&#x201A;Ą If the assisted living community is connected to a nursing home, ask for information about it, too. (Information on nursing homes can be found on the Medicare website at http://www. medicare.gov/nhcompare/home.asp).

Source: www.eldercare.gov/eldercare/ Public/resources/fact_sheets/assisted_ living.asp Due to the large number of Adult Foster Homes, not all are listed in this guide. Follow the link to a complete list arranged by county. http://www.clackamas.us/docs/ss/ publicregistry.pdf

ď&#x201A;Ą Visit at meal times, sample the food, and observe the quality.

Ten Common Asset Preservation Mistakes 1. Transferring all assets to children or other relatives. This almost always results in a penalty period of ineligibility that begins after application for Medicaid and other public assistance. Tax consequences can be significant. Make gifts only with legal counsel.

2. Selling the family home to pay for nursing home costs. This is often not required, yet many still believe that the home must be sold to pay for care.

3. Relying only on a will or living trust. A will has no effect until approved in probate proceedings after death. A living trust is preferable in most cases, but generally does not protect assets from government claims for payback.

4. Relying on Medicare or health insurance. Neither one pays for the cost of long terms care in a nursing home or assisted living. Costs typically run between $5000 and $6000 and most families will quickly run through their life savings.

5. Putting a family member on accounts as a joint owner. This subjects the account to the risks associated with the joint owner’s life—divorce, bankruptcy, lawsuit. This can also result in disqualification periods for Medicaid eligibility. There are better ways to avoid these legal problems.

6. Using a pre-printed form for power of attorney. These documents may be useful for small accounts and simple transactions but usually lack the express language needed for more complex affairs and for

Medicaid eligibility transactions. Have one prepared for your situation by an elder law specialist.

7. Using a form will or living trust. These are cheap and available from bookstores and internet. But they are almost always not suitable or correct for your situation. Lawyers earn substantial fees “fixing” these do-it-yourself wills and trusts.

8. Purchasing a “Medicaid annuity” or other financial products to shelter assets. Use caution when relying on the advice of “senior advisors” who may not understand your situation.

9. Applying for a guardianship or conservatorship. These proceedings to handle a person’s incapacity are costly, time-consuming and restrictive. With proper planning, these can be avoided in most cases.

10. Ignoring Medicaid estate recovery. The state can and does proceed with liens and other proceedings to recoup benefits paid out on your elder’s behalf. In appropriate circumstances, this can be avoided with proper planning. Laws governing Medicaid eligibility, Medicaid asset recovery and estate preservation are complex and vary between states. A qualified Elder Law Attorney can help you avoid these common mistakes. By J. Thomas Pixton of The Pixton Law Firm. 503-968-2020 www.PixtonLaw.com

Oregon Launches New Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership The State of Oregon is easing the financial burdens of aging for many elders by initiating a new Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Program with private insurers. The new program, which began January 1, 2008, will benefit about 25 percent of the seniors in Oregon who are of modest or limited income. It will erase one of the biggest fears that modest income seniors have--that they will have to spend down to their last $2000.00 before the federal Medicaid program will pick up the cost of their nursing home care. The new Partnership Program will make it possible for seniors who qualify to preserve some of their assets to pass on to their heirs. Along with the benefits of increased longevity in our county, have come the greater likelihood that a person will need some type of long-term care in their old age--in fact, 60 percent of Americans will need that care during their lifetime. And that can take a wallop out of a person’s savings. In Portland, the average cost of a year in a nursing home is about $60,000, and that is expected to double within the next 15 years. As our population ages, and the huge baby boomer generation begins to retire, government resources will be squeezed. That is a big reason the federal government is encouraging Americans to take personal responsibility--for themselves and for

the elderly members of their families--by planning ahead for the care they will need in their old age. Many middle and upper income Americans are taking out long-term care insurance policies to help pay for the care they will need later in life. The new Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Program that Oregon is launching January 1st is an important step in offering coverage to Oregonians of limited means.

A key feature of the new program, in addition to Medicaid asset protection, is inflation protection. The State also sets consumer protection standards and makes sure that seniors cans choose a policy that best meets their needs. Both the state and federal government will provide educational resources to let seniors know who qualifies for the new Partnership Program and how to find a participating insurance provider.

Alzheimer’s Association of America: Six Out of Ten People with Alzheimer’s Will Wander It is common for a person with dementia to wander and become lost; many do so repeatedly. You can not know when it will happen. In fact, over 60% of those with dementia will wander at some point during the course of the disease. Wandering can be dangerous—even life threatening—for the person who wanders. The stress can weigh heavily on caregivers and family. There are various reasons for wandering which can include:  Confusion at certain times of the day or night.  Inability to recognize familiar people, places, and objects.  Fear arising from the misinterpretation of sights and sounds.  Desire to fulfill former obligations, such as going to work or looking after a child.

When a person is found, a citizen or law official calls the 800-number on the identification product and the individual’s family or caregivers are contacted. The nearest Alzheimer’s Association office provides information and support during search and rescue efforts. Should medical attention be required, access to a personal health record is immediately available. To enroll a person with Alzheimer’s disease in MedicAlert + Safe Return, update a current enrollment with a member’s medical information or learn more about the program, contact the Alzheimer’s Association at 1.800.272.3900, your local chapter or MedicAlert at 1.888.577.8566. You may enroll a person or update a member’s medical information online at www.alz.org/ SafeReturn or www.medicalert.org.

In an emergency every second counts. In a move to significantly improve the safety of individuals with Alzheimer’s or related dementia, MedicAlert and the Alzheimer’s Association have formed an alliance to offer MedicAlert® + Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return. This is a live, 24-hour emergency service for wandering and medical emergencies.

The Alzheimer’s Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer research and support, is advancing progress in prevention, treatments and an eventual cure and provides support for all those affected by the disease. Memory Walk is the Alzheimer’s Association’s signature event for awareness and fundraising. It is a noncompetitive walk, and a festive event for families, coworkers, and friends of all ages.

When a person with dementia wanders or becomes lost, his or her information and photo is provided to local law enforcement.

Please join us at Pioneer Courthouse Square Sunday, September 28, 2008 9:00am Registration, 10:00 am Walk begins

Do you or does someone you know qualify for Extra Help for the Medicare Prescription Drug Program? One of the ways you can stretch your dollars is to determine if you qualify for Extra Help from Medicare. CMS estimates that 21% of the people eligible for this program are not receiving it because they have not submitted the application. Medicare beneficiaries are eligible for the Extra Help if they have limited income and resources. The Extra Help can increase their cost savings by paying for part of the monthly premiums, annual deductibles and prescription co-payments under the new prescription drug program. The Extra Help could be worth up to $3,600 per year. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-173), enacted December 8, 2003, requires the Social Security Administration to undertake a number of additional Medicare-related responsibilities. The Social Security Administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are working together to provide persons with limited income and resources Extra Help paying for their prescription drugs. Social Security’s role in this partnership is to help the public understand how they may qualify and apply.

You should complete this application for Extra Help on the Internet if: You have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and/or Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)

Planning Ahead Eases Grief

Through the years, all that’s changed is our ability to do even more.

Making decisions now about your funeral arrangements can help assure those left behind that your wishes are being honored.

It’s easy to preplan your final arrangements using a three-step process.

1) Decide on the Service Deciding on the type of service you want is a first step towards feeling confident that your wishes will be fulfilled. Determine if your service should have religious elements, if it should be intimate or large, or if there are any unique elements you want incorporated. Another important element to discuss is final disposition. Do you prefer burial or cremation? Consider purchasing cemetery property and inquire about all options available for memorialization and disposition of cremated remains.

2) Shop Around and Choose a Funeral Home Investigating different funeral homes is an important part of planning a funeral. Compare available options, prices and quality of service to find the right fit for your budget and your final wishes. Comparison shopping now allows you to feel secure you’re getting the best value for your money.

We’ve provided not only exceptional, personal care, but also superior and comprehensive funeral and cremation services that far exceed the ordinary. As a member of North America’s largest network of funeral services, Dignity Memorial,® we can offer a wide variety of exclusive and unmatched benefits: • 24-Hour Compassion Helpline® • Bereavement Travel Program • 100% Service Guarantee • National Transferability To learn more about these and other valuable benefits, please contact us or visit your local Dignity Memorial providers.

Choose a home that fits your budget and is willing to accommodate your special requests. With the right funeral provider, you’ll feel confident your wishes will be fulfilled and you won’t feel uncomfortable asking questions or rushed into making hasty selections.

3) Understand Your Funding Options You do not need to prepay in order to preplan your funeral. If you choose to prefund your prearrangement, you can lock in today’s prices for products and services that likely will be more expensive in the future. Work with a funeral professional to understand your state’s particular laws and regulations that protect pre-need funds. Regardless of whether or not you fund your prearrangement, be sure to let your loved ones know that you’ve preplanned your final arrangements. They’ll appreciate the steps you’ve taken to relieve them of additional stress at a trying time. From Dignity Memorial, several locations near you, www.DignityMemorial.com.

Though it’s not a topic most of us want to think about, planning for what happens after your death can reduce the stress on grieving loved ones. Making decisions now about your funeral arrangements can help assure those left behind that your wishes are being honored. “The death of a loved one is always stressful. Fortunately, preplanning is something you can do now to help your family,” says funeral director J.C. Aubry with the Dignity Memorial network of funeral, cemetery and cremation providers. “Preplanning can significantly reduce the number of difficult decisions that confront loved ones at an emotional time of loss.”
