Over the past 4 years, our family has tried to manage the physical and emotional impact of my husband’s colon cancer. He recently passed away in July. These past few months have felt like I am living in limbo- not able to move forward, but still thankful for the extra time our family had together. While managing our own struggles, two of our dear friends passed away unexpectedly. I share this, not to be somber, but as a reminder. A reminder to be our own best healthcare advocate, to ask questions, and even switch providers if necessary. A reminder to plan for the things you can: your will, advanced directives, bank account access, digital legacy with passwords, and more. We never know how long each of us has, so do not take time or relationships for granted.

This Retirement Connection Guide helped me more than I expected. I received advice and support from insurance representatives, elder law attorneys, hospice and home care providers, and funeral services. Our family personally used the companies included within the pages of our publication. It has been very fulfilling to see our work come to fruition. I have also been touched by the care, compassion and professionalism of those we met with. Luckily, I am a planner and our family already had some measures in place, such as: purchasing a long term care insurance policy years ago and sharing our preferred healthcare and final wishes.

My advice… please plan ahead when possible, be patient with yourself, and ask as many questions as you need. The providers we work with have been amazing in serving seniors and their families. Sometimes it's not possible to plan and a crisis may occur. CareAvailability.com and Retirement Connection Guide are both great tools to help you connect with the providers in the Puget Sound area.

Retirement Connection is provided free of charge because our sponsors/ advertisers have provided financial support to maintain and update the guide and the website. Please return the favor by contacting our sponsors when you encounter a need. If your physician’s office, church, or other organization would like additional copies, we are happy to provide these at no cost. Please call us, visit our website or email us at: mktg@RetirementConnection. com to order as many as you need

Getting Started is Easy

Our guide is organized into 3 primary sections and identified by color tabs:

1. At Home Care & Health

This section offers two comparison spreadsheets/grids .

One for Medicare Certified Home Health Medical Care and another for In Home Personal Assistance . First familiarize yourself with the different levels of care offered by each license type We have included home care definitions to assist you in finding the care that best serves your needs . This section also includes additional homecare resources and caregiver registry services .

This section is alphabetical, and includes hundreds of services and organizations that work with older adults, those with disabilities and their families . This section includes everything from Caregiver Resources, Social Security, Care Management, Senior Centers, Upcoming Events, etc . Visit

▶ Resources for Providers

▶ Links to Local Provider Emails and Websites

▶ Request for Additional Help

3. Housing

Begin by reviewing the Housing Definitions at the beginning of the section to determine which level of care best fits your needs Then turn to the easy to read comparison grids which are separated into 4 primary care levels: Independent Living, Assisted Living & Adult Family Care Homes, Memory Care & Skilled Nursing/Intermediate Care The communities are separated by city so you can quickly search a specific geographic area

If you are unsure where to begin, you may want to contact a Housing Placement & Referral Specialist, many of whom are also included at the beginning of the housing section

Additionally the guide offers ▶ Many featured articles written by local experts, a Caregiver Checklist, and a “Request for Help” form.

Home Care Definitions:

Behavioral Health can include the prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery support to people with addiction and mental health needs. Behavioral health may also include care for patients with memory loss and confusion, but typically includes more intensive treatment and intervention than simple redirection.

Homecare agencies provide non-medical services. Personal care may include: dressing, feeding and personal hygiene to facilitate self-care; homemaking such as housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation, and transportation; or respite care to provide support to the family. The Department of Health licenses home care agencies.

Home Health Care includes skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy and medical social services. A home health care agency may choose to be Medicare certified to be reimbursed for their services. Home health agencies may also teach you how to care for yourself.

In-Home Care/Personal Care is care related to activities of daily living. Care may be provided by Home Health or Homecare Agencies. These services are typically not covered by medical insurance or Medicare and do not require a physician’s order.

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 inhome under the supervision of an MD. Some of these include: inter-infective/antibiotic therapies, hydration therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and central line care and maintenance.

Master of Social Work (MSW) is a master’s degree in the field of social work. MSWs help promote more integrated care with education and collaboration among care providers and support services.

Medicaid Certified A joint Federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid Certified facilities can offer services to individuals receiving Medicaid benefits in exchange for reimbursement from Medicaid. Some people qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (these people are called “dual eligibles”).

Medical Social Services are assistance with social and emotional concerns related to illness including counseling or help finding community resources.

Medicare Certified facilities can offer services to individuals receiving Medicare benefits in exchange for reimbursement from Medicare. A physician’s order is required to be reimbursed by Medicare. Medicare is a Federal health insurance program for those 65 and over for those who meet other criteria.

Nurse Delegated Tasks a licensed registered nurse may delegate specific nursing care tasks to qualified nursing assistants in community-based and in-home care settings. One task taught and delegated to one caregiver for one client. Before delegating a task, the registered nurse delegator must determine that specific criteria are met and ensure that the patient is in a stable and predictable condition.

Psychiatric Services refers to the agency's 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 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.

Skilled Nursing requires the oversight of a staff nurse and may include: rehabilitation, wound care, therapy services, or other medical care. These services are typically provided by a licensed Home Health Agency. This is different than Nurse Delegation services that may use a third party agency or consultant to delegate as needed for an individual specific need.

Therapy Services (OT, PT, RT, ST)

Occupational Therapy (OT) refers to services to assess and treat patients to help them 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.

Physical Therapy (PT) refers to services for the treatment and rehabilitation process where a physical therapist will often stretch, strengthen, facilitate muscles, challenge balance, test coordination abilities, teach home exercise programs to enhance basic mobility skills; to help lessen disability and pain and improve overall function and quality of life.

Respiratory Therapy (RT) refers to services for the care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system. It may include the therapeutic use of medical gases and their equipment, humidification, aerosols, ventilator support, bronchi pulmonary drainage and exercise and respiratory rehabilitation.

Speech Therapy (ST) refers to services to assess and treat speech and swallowing disorders. Speech therapy can treat speech, language, cognitive skills or swallowing.

Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse (WOCN) WOC nurses have advanced training in acute and chronic wound care as well as the physical, emotional, and social issues of patients with ostomies (those who have had some kind of bowel or bladder diversion), stomas, acute and chronic wounds, and incontinence (those with bladder and bowel control and associated skin care issues).

Be Your Own Advocate

As we age, we are certain to encounter health events that affect our bodies and minds. Some chronic conditions will get worse and some events will appear suddenly to otherwise healthy individuals. Despite best efforts, our medical community typically functions as a reactionary source to health events. As individuals that are in tune with our own bodies, we need to learn to become our own health advocates to receive the necessary medical attention we need, from early detection to long term treatments.

My wise older sister always told me to “trust my gut.” You know that feeling that something just isn’t right. That all is not what it seems. The idea that you may know more than your doctor is not as far-fetched as you might think.

This became the case while I was having trouble sleeping and constantly waking up with a jumpy heart and tingling sensations. This happened almost every night for months. I visited my Primary Care and was sent to a Sleep Clinic. Soon after I found myself at a Cardiologist and Endocrinologist. Test after test was only met with vague conclusions, from low blood sugar to using the wrong pillow. I knew I had to keep searching or never sleep again.

Of all places, I found my answer from my gym trainer! She immediately asked me “Is there ever a night when this doesn’t happen?” I soon discovered that on uninterrupted nights, the only difference in my pre sleep activity was my crossword puzzle! I went to my Chiropractor to discover that my crossword puzzle posture was tweaking my spine in a way that prevented my body from a deep sleep and also led to the tingling sensations. By simply taking my health into my own hands and monitoring my routine, I was able to discover what was off and where I could find answers.

Not one of the five highly skilled practitioners I encountered in my journey asked me the key question that would have solved my problem. What do you do before you go to sleep?

As my sister taught me…my “gut” served me well. I knew not to give up. I had to be my own advocate. So next time your doctors fail to give you the answers you need…keep going. The solution may be where you least expect it. I do my crossword now sitting in a chair most afternoons and I’m sleeping like a baby.

What are some things you can do to Advocate for yourself?

When something’s not right, don’t give up!

Are all your questions being answered?

Ask about the medications you are taking. The “why” and the “how.”

Ask to have your test results explained until you understand them.

Talk about what you are eating and when you’re eating it.

Are the people in your medical/care circle kind and considerate?

Do you feel “heard” by your doctors? Do they seem genuinely interested and involved in your outcomes?

Are your ideas and input considered or dismissed? Don’t forget, you are a “customer”…a valuable one.

What type of follow-up are you receiving? Is it timely?

Are you improving?

Don’t give up until you are settled in your mind and your “gut” and confident in your care.

Balancing Act: Tips To Ease the Stress of Caring for a Loved One With Alzheimer’s

Your mother may have said patience is a virtue. However, when you’re the family caregiver of a loved one with Alzheimer’s or other dementia, patience is sometimes hard to muster. If you’re feeling impatient with your loved one, it’s likely due to stress. According to the Mayo Clinic, signs of family caregiver stress include:

Feeling burdened or worrying all the time.

Feeling tired often.

Sleeping too much or not enough.

Gaining or losing weight.

Becoming easily irked or angry.

Having frequent headaches or other pains or health problems.

Misusing alcohol or drugs, including prescription medicines.

Missing your medical appointments.

Family Caregiver Stress Can Affect Health Negatively

The National Institutes of Health references studies showing that caregiving is linked to a variety of long-term health problems, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and excess weight. Family caregivers are at risk for depression or anxiety, may have problems with memory, and may experience back or muscle injuries from lifting the person they care for.

Tips for Family Caregivers Seeking Help

If you’re a family caregiver and find yourself losing patience with your loved one or others, it’s time to reach out for help. Here are some ideas:

Ask a relative to step in for a day. Ask a close family member to give you a short break so

you can have some time to yourself. Even if is only a couple of hours a week.

Consider hiring an in-home caregiver for respite support. Whether a few hours a week or a few hours a day, a short break with a licensed caregiver who is familiar with dementia can provide much-needed relief.

Join a support group. Alzheimer’s support groups offer support and understanding. Check with your local community center or place of worship to see if they offer such a group. You can also find local support groups at Psychology Today.

Educate yourself. Seek resources for family caregivers to learn more about Alzheimer’s and dementia. Right at Home offers a FREE dementia and cognitive support guide to help you find new ways to connect with your loved one.

Family Caregiver Self-Care Tips

As much as you want to put your loved one first, you must care for yourself, too. Consider these suggestions:

Maintain a healthy diet.

Keep up with your annual medical checkups and routine tests.

Maintain your friendships.

Keep up with your hygiene.

Other ways to improve your patience and relieve stress might include planning a night out for dinner and a movie with your spouse or a friend, getting exercise with a walk, or taking a relaxing bath.

Long-Term

Alzheimer’s Help is Available 24 Hours a Day, 365 days a Year for Individuals and Families

Today, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, including 120,000 in Washington. Many individuals and family members or friends who are serving as unpaid caregivers are often left in the dark about what to expect or where to turn for help.

Whether an individual is worried about their own memory loss or someone they know, or is one of the 297,000 unpaid caregivers in Washington, the free Alzheimer's Association 24/7 Helpline is a vital and important resource, no matter when or where the individual currently is in the Alzheimer’s journey.

Individuals can contact the Helpline day or night to:

 Speak confidentially with master’slevel care consultants for decisionmaking support, crisis assistance and education on issues families face every day.

 Learn about the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

 Find out about local programs and services here in Washington.

 Get general information about legal, financial and care decisions, as well as treatment options.

 Receive help in your preferred language through our bilingual staff or interpreter service, which accommodates more than 200 languages.

“Our expert staff can address and answer questions like memory loss, safety issues and some of the new treatment options that may delay clinical decline or help temporarily address symptoms,” said Nicci Noteboom, Marketing and Communications Director for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Washington State Chapter.

In addition, staff can address:

 Tips for providing quality care.

 Recommendations for finding quality care providers.

 Strategies to reduce caregiver stress.

 Legal and financial documents for future care.

 Aging and brain health.

 Referrals to local community programs and services, including support groups here in the Puget Sound.

“Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be overwhelming and no one should go through it alone,” said Noteboom. The Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline –800.272.3900 – is here day or night to help individuals and families navigate disease-related challenges throughout the disease course.

The Importance of a Power of Attorney in Different Stages of Dementia

Dementia, characterized by symptoms such as memory loss and impaired judgment, often leads to a gradual loss of ability to make informed decisions. Establishing a Power of Attorney (POA) at different stages of dementia is vital to protect an individual's dignity and preferences. Let's explore why it's crucial:

Personalized Directives: Early stages allow for the collaborative creation of personalized directives, facilitating the person's significant influence in shaping their future affairs.

Early Financial Planning: At this stage, a POA aids in streamlining financial plans, protecting assets, and avoiding future economic pitfalls.

Emotional Support: The early establishment of a POA offers emotional support and peace of mind, mitigating fears associated with the progression of dementia.

Middle Stage: Guaranteeing Proper Care and Respecting Wishes

Coordinated Healthcare Decisions: A POA ensures that the healthcare decisions are aligned with the individual's previously stated preferences, promoting informed and consistent care.

Protecting Legal Rights and Dignity: The POA serves as a barrier against potential exploitation or abuse, upholding the individual's rights and dignity according to pre-established directives.

Easing Family Dynamics: By delineating clear responsibilities and authority, a POA helps in preventing family disputes and maintaining harmony during tough times.

Late Stage: Securing Interests and Ensuring a Smooth Transition

Streamlined Decision-Making: In the late stages, a POA simplifies decision-making processes, enabling swift actions concerning medical and financial matters without legal hassles, thus avoiding possible guardianship or conservatorship that might increase strain on families.

Quality End-of-Life Care: A POA ensures the delivery of the highest quality end-of-life care, including essential decisions on palliative care and pain management.

Dignified Conclusion of Affairs: Towards the end, a POA aids in wrapping up the individual's matters respectfully, adhering to their wishes and preferences.

Conclusion: Proactive Planning for Dignity and Safety

Setting up a POA at various dementia stages is a proactive strategy to preserve the individual's autonomy, safeguard their interests, and ensure a dignified transition through the stages of the disease. It symbolizes a commitment to respect and honor the individual's wishes at every phase of their journey, transcending legal formalities to become a representation of love, respect, and foresight.

In essence, a Power of Attorney isn't merely a legal document, but a testament to human compassion and foresight, guarding the essence of the individual against the adversities of cognitive decline. It assures that the individual's hopes, desires, and dignity remain protected and respected throughout their journey.

What You Need To Know About Medicare Savings Programs

Washington State residents who are currently on Medicare Part A and Part B can apply for a Medicare Savings Program all year long. These programs help make Medicare more affordable for beneficiaries by paying their Medicare Part B monthly premiums for them. The monthly Medicare Part B premium cost for most beneficiaries in 2024 is $174.70, which typically is deducted every month from Social Security payments. Since the average monthly Social Security payment for a recipient in Washington State is around $1900, being on a Medicare Savings Program can improve their monthly income by almost ten percent!

Medicare Savings Programs in Washington State are only based upon the monthly income of Medicare beneficiaries, meaning that financial resources are not counted for eligibility. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2023 approved Washington State’s request to disregard all financial resources for Medicare Savings Program (MSP) eligibility. This change made many more people eligible.

Washington State MSP’s include Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB), Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), Qualifying Individual (QI). All three of these MSP’s help make Medicare more affordable for beneficiaries by paying Part B premiums. The QMB program also avoids enrollee Medicare costsharing and covers Part A premiums

for those who are not eligible for free Medicare Part A.

Washington State residents who are currently on Medicare can easily apply online for Medicare Savings Programs at www.washingtonconnection.org

Here are the 2024 MSP program descriptions and income limits (with no financial resource limits to qualify!):

QMB (Qualified Medicare Beneficiary) pays Part B premium/deductible/copays:

Income under $1275.00 per month for single person, $1724.00 per month for married couple

SLMB (Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary) pays Part B premium:

Income under $1526.00 per month for single person, $2064.00 per month for married couple

QI-1 (Qualifying Individual) pays Part B premium:

Income under $1715.00 per month for single person, $2320.00 per month for married couple

Creating a Lasting Legacy

If you are like most of us there is a box of photos, slides and memorabilia under the bed or in a closet corner fading away. The memories inside are pure gold!

Take care. This is your legacy! A professional photo organizer asks you to inhale and remember, “A box of photos tells no tales.” It is probably (past) time to think about organizing and saving those photos, slides & stories.

The Adult Family Home (AFH) is a Residential Long Term Care setting that can provide “In Home” private individualized care for up to 6 to 8 residents with 24 hours / 7 days a week care and supervision. For a home to be licensed as an AFH, a house, in a Residential Community may be modified to have ramps, roll-in showers, wider doors or hallways, and lowered windows. These homes are inspected by city building officials to fit the needs of residents with physical disabilities. Once the home is inspected by DSHS, and has met the requirements to operate as an AFH, the home will then be licensed as an Adult Family Home to care for up to 6 residents.

Your organizer is a helper who has systems and ideas about organizing & storing irreplaceable photos so they are easy to find & don’t become damaged or lost. Instead of using them as bookends, a professional photo organizer can curate your collection of slides making it easy to view the memories they hold.

Who can forget photos from the mid 60s? Remember how they turned pink after they had been around for 30 years? A professional photo organizer can make minor adjustments to photos to get rid of the pink. They’ll look like they did originally.

The AFH Is operated by an Entity Representative who must have the required Credentials to operate an AFH. This individual may be married or single, with or without children or pets. Each AFH is required to have a Resident Manager to manage the day to day operations of the home and care of residents. The AFH can admit individuals as young as age 18 and can be cared for until the end of life.

Some homes can care for individuals with different health issues such Diabetes, COPD, Cancer, Heart Issues, physical disability, etc. The Residents Health must be stable and predictable to be cared for in the AFH.

box” used to recall fond memories, sentimental objects, art, music, family stories or personal history.

Professional photo organizers wear several hats. Aside from scanning photos & slides to digitize and organize, they offer archive advice about fragile photos, documents & objects.

Services in the AFH include Behavior Management, Medication Management, Care with Activities of Daily Living, Showers, Meal preparation, Feeding, Activities, Ambulation, Transferring, Cleaning services, and laundry services.

Maybe you’ve found yourself procrastinating once a family member asked you to write about your personal history or your stories? Many in this profession create montage or video documentaries told with interviews, your photos & personal history.

Do you want to delve deeper into your story? Bond with family members to include their stories & images?

Commemorate a special occasion?

More and more AFH’s are owned and operated by Nurses, we refer to these types of homes as Private Duty Nursing AFHs. These homes are for residents who may require skilled or intermittent nursing care in a home setting. Some nursing care may include, intravenous infusion therapy, ventilator care, wound care, tube feeding, indwelling catheter care, and among others.

Your professional might offer printed photo memoirs: bound books or magazines to illustrate your rich legacy.

There are lots of reasons to stop dragging your feet to get those photos out of the box.

Maybe you are thinking of downsizing? If so you might not have room for photos, memorabilia and sentimental objects.

Why is the AFH such a great Long Term Option for Care? Because of the increased amount of time and attention a caregiver can provide each residents living in the Adult Family Home. The AFH is an appealing option as compared to larger senior communities or facilities. As disability and care needs increase, residents may require a higher level of care which overall allows the resident to age in place in the AFH. Adult Family Homes can Specialize in different care needs, such as caring for those with Dementia, Mental Health, and Developmental Disability.

Preserving your collection is a project you will want to prioritize ahead of time. Once you and/or your move manager give the go ahead, a photo organizer will scan memorabilia & trinkets to load onto a smart TV or digital photo frame for easy transport and viewing anytime. Images can also be shared with others in the cloud or on a disk.

A digital photo frame is a great “memory

Residents living In the AFH can enjoy Socializing and Activities in a much smaller setting. Residents are encouraged to furnish and decorate their rooms as they prefer. Some Resident can enjoy outings and many other activities. The AFH is a “Family” setting in which a household shares a support system that allows optimal health maintenance and well-being of each resident. The ability to demonstrate Independence and express personal needs and preferences is encouraged in the Adult Family Home.

Through books or magazines a photo organizer creates a portable visual treasure for you and your family to hold, browse and cherish. This makes your personal history a gift that is priceless.

Isn’t it past time to schedule a consultation with one of these professionals? A photo organizer assures your photos, history and memories can be enjoyed time and again for generations to come.

No gift or souvenir will mean more to future generations than the time you took to create a lasting legacy.

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, or simply to take a break. Some programs are designed for older adults with dementia and/or physical limitations. Day Care programs in senior housing communities that are listed in this guide must be able to accept non-residents to be included.

Adult Care Homes or Family Care Homes are private residences that provide a home-like setting, and serve 8 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions such as personal care, housekeeping, activities, and group meals. 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. Some may be fully self-contained private living units with a lockable door, private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities. Accommodations are typically in a home-like setting and may range from a shared bedroom with a common bathroom to private apartments with a kitchenette and a private bathroom. 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. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the level of care provided and the size and amenities of each apartment.

CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) also known as Life Plan Communities, 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 and 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 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.

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 are 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 the 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.

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 a 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.

Essential Steps to Make Rightsizing Easier

Are you getting ready to rightsize your home? Even if you won’t be moving for another six months or longer, now is the right time for a "move" plan! Many people wait too long to get started, and before they know it, the moving experience becomes a nightmare due to procrastination.

Commit to your MOVE PLAN

1. Get a three-ring binder to keep your calendar, downsizing lists, and other moverelated information in one spot.

2. Assemble supplies: Stock up on colored sticky notes to dots. These will help you label furniture.

3. Write out a labeling plan with color coding to stay consistent.

4. Use large black trash bags for disposing of items that are not going with you.

5. Use white tall kitchen bags for donation items, like clothing, linens, and soft things.

6. Use zip lock bags for smaller items.

7. Use paper bags for recycling and shredding. Label them in large letters SHRED or RECYCLE.

8. Large plastic totes will help you sort and store the items you plan to keep. Opt for clear totes, not too large, and all the same size for better stacking. Assign names to totes for items that are going to others.

9. Moving Cartons: Purchase packing materials from a truck rental or home improvement store. Use typical-sized moving cartons for safer transport and better stacking.

10. Tools for small kit: Gather items like marking pens, scissors, packing tape, and blue painter’s tape (great for many uses)

Pro Tips:

Ask for Help. Plan no more than three hours for your initial consultation with an Advisor. Rightsizing is a daunting project, both physically and mentally. Start in one spot before tackling multiple areas at once.

Labeling Plan

Green: Means KEEP and will move with you.

Yellow: Means gifting to others

Red: Means donate, give away

Ask for Help

Rightsizing is a daunting project, both physically and mentally. And the longer you have lived somewhere, the longer it will take to go through the stuff you’ve accrued over the years.

Are there friends and family who are willing to help? If not, perhaps working with a downsizing and move management company can help. They handle the physical aspects of your move, such as pulling things out, helping you sort through them, and asking the right questions to find out if you need them or if they have sentimental value.

Plus, downsizers are neutral and nonjudgmental – their job is to simply steer you through the process and make sense of everything that needs to be done.

Myth Busting Brain Training: What the Latest Brain Research Tells Us

The quest for cognitive sharpness has led many to brain training apps, driven by hopes of thwarting cognitive decline. This surge in popularity raises questions about their true efficacy, inviting scrutiny from cognitive neuroscience. Dr. Ryuta Kawashima – one of the most renowned Neuroscientists in Japan who supervises Nintendo’s Brain Training Game Franchiseat Tohoku University critically distinguishes meaningful cognitive enhancers from mere entertainment.

The Hope and Hype of Brain Training

Many brain training apps claim to enhance memory, reasoning, and attention, appealing to an aging population determined to maintain mental fitness. This burgeoning market reflects a widespread belief in the brain's capacity for improvement through targeted exercises.

A Critical Perspective

Despite optimistic claims, skepticism persists. Critics point out that while users may improve at specific tasks, these gains often fail to translate into broader cognitive improvements. This skepticism is bolstered by studies questioning the real-world applicability of such gains.

Distinguishing Meaningful Brain Training

Dr. Kawashima's recent research highlights the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in meaningful brain training. This brain area, crucial for executive functions, must be engaged through sufficiently challenging tasks to benefit cognitive functions truly. “The key is increased blood flow in the prefrontal cortex, indicating that the brain is being adequately challenged and stimulated,” says Dr. Ryuta Kawashima.

What Works and What Doesn ' t

The effectiveness of brain training varies from person to person, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches. Dr. Kawashima advises choosing games that challenge the prefrontal cortex, offering more than mere entertainment.

Practical Advice for Selecting Brain Training Games

Dr. Kawashima recommends selecting games that challenge higher brain functions, such as executive functions, for meaningful cognitive improvement. These games, though potentially less immediately enjoyable, will have greater benefits to cognitive health.

Conclusion: Embracing Challenge for Cognitive Growth

Dr. Kawashima's research presents a hopeful perspective for those seeking to enhance their cognitive abilities through brain training. The emphasis is on embracing challenging games that stimulate the brain, fostering its growth and adaptation. This approach underscores the importance of selecting brain training games based on their ability to provide a genuine cognitive workout, heralding a path to true mental fitness beyond simple entertainment.

A Project Management Approach to Senior Transitions

Anyone who has lived in their home for 20, 30, 40 or sometimes 50 years faces a daunting task that can stop them in their tracks when they consider everything that needs to be done to make a move. The reason for a move can compound the concern. People can experience that caring for themselves and their home is a struggle. Deferred maintenance can mount into massive projects. Caregiving for another family member can be endless and exhausting. In this article, we will explore a team project management approach that will dramatically reduce stress and streamline the tasks in a senior transition, move and home sale.

Big jobs benefit from strategic planning and experience is priceless! A seasoned Realtor who specializes in serving seniors can rally resources. Building a team of trustworthy experts who guide you and efficiently facilitate in just the right order with kindness and compassion can turn overwhelmed into overjoyed.

Step 1. Where are you going?

Start by deciding where you will be moving and everything else will become easier. Is it time to consider the benefits of a retirement community with a range of services from fully independent to catered living? A Financial Advisor or Estate Planner will help you look at your financial future. And, if you or someone you love needs a higher level of care, getting the advice of a Placement Specialist can provide care and cost-based options for you to consider.

Step 2. What are you taking with you?

Once you know where you are going and what space you will have in your new home you can begin to go through your house

to determine what you will take with you. Resist the urge to figure out what you are doing with everything else and just focus on what you will take to your new home. Your biggest role in this process is choosing what you want to keep. Move Managers can guide your “right-sizing process” and do the heavy lifting for you, including packing, moving, and unpacking.

Step 3. What do we do with the rest of your stuff?

Estate Disbursal is a 3 step process that is often led by the Move Managers as well. (1) Before you start giving items away it is prudent to see if you can earn some money from the items you no longer need. Online auctions provide a great option today. (2) Things that won’t work well in a sale may be able to be donated. (3) And, lastly, there are always the items that need to be discarded.

Step 4. You are now ready to sell real estate!

If your Realtor has been beside you every step of the way, they will be ready to finish this project fast and efficiently! Consider doing a seller pre-inspection of your home at the start of the process and expect your Realtor to recommend improvements that will give you a great return on your investment. As you choose your Realtor, ask them if they coordinate the work with licensed contractors, cleaners, landscapers, stagers, and photographers. Choose a real estate agent whose focus is serving seniors so that they can bring a full-service project management approach to your senior transition.

Beginning Conversations with Loved Ones - Modern Aging Options

Fear, apprehension, and uncertainty are the most prevalent feelings experienced by families when realizing change is necessary for a loved one. Noticeable cognitive decline, mobility challenges, and decreased activity in "everyday" tasks are clear signs to start a conversation. A proactive plan allows all parties to feel some control over the future and the opportunity to learn about today's Modern Aging Communities.

Congratulations, on taking the first step and reading this resource. The goal is to give you tools to minimize stress and frustrations since oftentimes speaking of transitions related to medical care and finances can be triggers for many. Making a plan to be prepared is the first step.

Start with a list of concerns and observations.

1. Is your loved one having trouble with activities of daily living like getting dressed?

2. Has there been a hospital stay? Are there extensive care instructions?

3. Take thorough notes, and get family members to share their perspectives.

4. Set goals and dates each quarter to have "in-person" or at a minimum Facetime for quality visits.

The importance is to approach the conversation with care, and concern to help plant the seed in their mind. The less pressure you put on your loved one, the more receptive they are likely to be to the idea of transitioning to senior living.

Fear of loss of independence and control are the primary reasons that advanced plans ARE NOT made. Partnering with a trusted Family Advisor can be a credible third-party resource that can help you navigate the benefits of Modern Aging locations. Educated Advisors can support your level of understanding of care needs and establish key dates to help tailor the experience to match your schedule and lifestyle at no cost to you in most cases.

The many options of the Modern Aging environment ensures that your Family Advisor will tailor the moving experience to your needs and schedule by evaluating the correct level of care and necessary timeline, often at no cost to you.

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 state’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 resident’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 and appropriate assisted living community:

 What are your future needs and how will the community meet those needs?

 Is the community close to family and friends? Are there any shopping centers or other businesses nearby (within walking distance)?

 Visit each community more than once, sometimes unannounced.

 Visit at meal times, sample the food, and observe the quality.

 Observe interactions among residents and staff and ask questions.

 Ask about social, recreational, and spiritual activities.

 Ask about the type and frequency of staff trainings.

 Review state licensing reports.

These steps should also be considered:

 Contact your state’s long-term care ombudsman to see if any complaints have 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.

 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.

Due to the large number of Adult Family Homes, not all are listed in this guide.
