Letter from the Publisher Dear Readers, Thank you for picking up our inaugural edition of Retirement Connection for King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. After printing our guides in Oregon for the past 7 years, we are excited to finally be serving the Puget Sound community. We are a small family owned business, and with this first edition, we greatly appreciate any feedback to improve the guide and welcome any updates or additions. We work closely with local hospitals and the 50+ community to ensure we are a very comprehensive resource. In turn we list EVERY housing and homecare resource. The guide is organized into three primary color coded sections, and includes a “How to use this Guide” on page 10 to assist your navigation. We update our website, www.RetirementConnection.com daily with new events, additional listings, changing information, and educational articles. Retirement Connection is provided free of charge because our sponsors/ advertisers have provided the financial support to maintain and update the print guide and website. Please return the favor by contacting our sponsors when you encounter a need for their services. We hope you find this a helpful resource and that you share your feedback with us. Your insight and support are very valuable and we hope you will share your suggestions.

Additional copies of the guide may be found at: Area Agency on Aging offices, Libraries, Senior Centers, Hospitals, housing communities, and local events. We print 50,000 copies every 6 months and any updates and additions will be made immediately online. 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 additional copies.

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/Residential Care, 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.

Home Care Definitions: 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 and modify risk factors to prevent further heart damage. 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. 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 agengies may also teach you how to care for yourself. 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 typically not covered by medical insurance 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 supervision of a MD. Some of these include: inter-infective/antibiotic therapies, hydration therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and central line care and maintenance. 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 an 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 Physicians order is required to be reimbursed by Medicare. Medicare is a Federal insurance health insurance program for those 65 and over, or who meet other criteria.

Indicates website link available at www.RetirementConnection.com nursing care tasks to qualified nursing assistants in a community-based and in-homecare 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.

Home health services & Medicare How often is it covered? Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and/or Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers eligible home health services like intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy, speech-language pathology services, continued occupational services, and more. Usually, a home health care agency coordinates the services your doctor orders for you. Medicare doesn't pay for:  24-hour-a-day care at home  Meals delivered to your home  Homemaker or Companion Services  Personal Care or In-Home licensed care Who’s eligible? All people with Medicare who meet all of these conditions are covered:  You must be under the care of a doctor, and you must be getting services under a plan of care established and reviewed regularly by a doctor.  You must need, and a doctor must certify that you need, one or more of these: • Intermittent skilled nursing care (other than just drawing blood) • Physical therapy, speech-language pathology, or continued occupational therapy services. These services are covered only when the services are specific, safe and an effective treatment for your condition. The amount, frequency and time period of the services needs to be reasonable, and they need to be complex or only qualified therapists can do them safely and effectively. To be eligible, either: 1) your condition must be expected to improve in a reasonable and generally-

predictable period of time, 2) you need a skilled therapist to safely and effectively make a maintenance program for your condition, or 3) you need a skilled therapist to safely and effectively do maintenance therapy for your condition.  The home health agency caring for you must be Medicare-certified.  You must be homebound, and a doctor must certify that you're homebound (you have trouble leaving your home, or leaving your home is not recommended). You're not eligible for the home health benefit if you need more than part-time or "intermittent" skilled nursing care. You can still get home health care if you attend adult day care. Note: Home health services may also include medical social services, parttime or intermittent home health aide services, medical supplies for use at home, durable medical equipment, or injectable osteoporosis drugs. Your costs in Original Medicare  $0 for home health care services.  20% of the Medicare-approved amount for durable medical equipment. Before you start getting your home health care, the home health agency should tell you how much Medicare will pay. The agency should also tell you if any items or services they give you aren't covered by Medicare, and how much you'll have to pay for them. This should be explained by both talking with you and in writing. Article acquired from: www.medicare.gov Provided by Retirement Connection

Assisting Our Parents As They Age Helping our elderly parents age gracefully will be among the most difficult tasks we encounter. When we recognize and acknowledge that aging is the process of loss; we will be more prepared and capable of identifying the signs that our loved ones need help. Sometimes the need can be very obvious when it is caused by a functional loss in their abilities to provide for their own activities of daily living (ADL), which include bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, walking, and transferring. At other times the shift in our relationship with our parents is more gradual and our roles slowly reverse. The clues are more subtle and less obvious. The following may be signs or warnings that our parents have entered the stage of life where additional assistance is needed.

 Is hygiene appropriate such as groomed hair? Are the clothes clean and seasonally appropriate?  Any change in activities like attendance to church, card games, book club or other social groups?  Is there weight loss or gain?  A change in behaviors such as saying mean and hurtful things to others? Is sarcasm confusing to them? Are they having a difficult time being empathetic?  Are there suddenly new collections of items in the home? Is there an abundance of everyday items such as 20 bottles of laundry detergent, 15 bags of cat food or more tea than one can drink in a lifetime?

 If English isn’t the first language, are they speaking their native language more often?  Is mail piling up? Are bills being paid late or not at all?  Are there more burnt pans or old leftover food in the refrigerator?  Are there unexplained bruises on the body? Naturally the need for assistance does not magically translate to the willingness or acceptance of help. How does one maneuver through this maze? There isn’t a single simple answer. Each experience is unique and we need to approach these changes individually. One common denominator is that respecting the dignity and independence of the aging parent is critical. The ability to provide assistance for the safety and changing physical needs of our parents, while maintaining their individual dignity and independence, takes great effort and work. Gradually helping with tasks is easier for our loved ones to accept. Having a team to help support us through this stage of life is essential. William Shakespeare said “An old man is twice a child.” This quote helps me recognize that needing assistance is not a bad thing and gives permission to accept help gracefully.

You Paid For It (long term care insurance) So Use It When You Need It In 2014 Long Term Care Insurance carriers paid over $7.8 billion in claims. Seventy Percent of seniors over 65 will need assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s). Unfortunately only 10% of seniors have Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI). Sadly over 90% of seniors never file a claim on their policy. Those that do often have problems getting their claims approved.

 This is what most seniors believe is required to use their policy. However it's not the case.

Benefits of Utilizing Your LTCI Policy:

 A cognitive impairment is enough to activate a claim. No assistance with ADL’s are required.

Stay at home with a higher degree of independence, improves quality of life, safety and fall prevention, and monthly premium may stop.

Care may need to be certified by a health care professional:  Registered Nurse  Licensed Clinical Social Worker  Medical Doctor Key Terms in Your Policy: STAND BY ASSISTANCE: Another person needs to be in arms reach to intervene in the event the policy holder is going to injure oneself.

 You don’t have to be 100% dependent on another person to help assist you with ADL’s. You simply need to have somebody close by to help if you are about to fall. HANDS-ON ASSISTANCE: Another Person must physically help you perform 2 or more ADL’s. Without someone physically helping you perform these ADL’s you would not be able to perform them.

To use your policy you must need either hands on assistance or stand by assistance to perform two or ADL’s. CONSTANT SUPERVISION: Policy holder is a safety risk to self or others if left unattended due to a cognitive impairment.

Must need assistance with at least 2 of the following ADL’s:bathing, dressing,

toileting, continence care, transferring, or feeding. Policies will pay for homemaker services secondary to needing assistance with 2 ADL’s: housekeeping, laundry, meal prep,

and transportation services.

All policies are different. It’s critical to understand what is in your specific policy prior to activating a claim. The policy may pay for care:  Only in your home  Only in a nursing home  Only in a facility or nursing home  Comprehensive (Both in the home

or facility.

Hiring a home care company with experience, expertise and understands the claims process is essential in getting your claims approved to pay for care. Article Provided by: Robert Christensen Amada Senior Care 253-881-0014, 425-458-2778 www.AmadaSenoirCare.com

Elder Care Tips: Ensuring a Beneficial Relationship with a Care Provider Developing an elder care plan for your aging loved ones enables you to ensure your parents get the care and assistance that will meet their physical, cognitive, medical, mobility, and emotional needs on a daily basis. While it is completely normal for you to want to take on all of the responsibilities of caring for your seniors, handling all of these tasks on your own would likely not work out in the long term. Trying to add all of these responsibilities to everything you already do to take care of your own personal lives can leave you exhausted and incapable of giving your best to any of your responsibilities. Hiring an elderly health care services provider as part of your elder care plan enables you to entrust that professional with some of the responsibilities of caring for your parents so that you can focus your time and energy more efficiently and effectively. Use these tips to help your parents enjoy the best relationship possible with their care provider: Plan Thoroughly: Have a clear idea of what you and your parents expect from the relationship with your care provider. Clarifying these expectations enables you to pursue the factors of the relationship that you see as most important and allows you to narrow your focus when seeking out a care provider.

Think Family First: Before you get a care provider involved, consider your family contribution to the care plan first. Determine how much you can practically do for your parents and ask how much your siblings would like to do. This makes it easier for you decide how much responsibility the care provider will need to take so you can give clear guidelines from the beginning and avoid confusion. Communicate Openly: It is important to see the elderly health care services provider as an employee rather than someone who is doing you a favor by taking care of your parents. Communicate openly with the care provider about your expectations, your standards of performance, and your feelings about their care for your parents so that they can continue to improve. Support Individuality: You want to be an active part of your parents' care, but in order to support a quality relationship, you need to give them the space and freedom to create and build that relationship on their own. Support your parents' ability to get to know the care provider and enjoy spending time with them on their own terms, including participating in activities, going on outings, and creating their own approaches to handling care tasks.

Diagnosis of Dementia May Not Preclude Signing POA and Health Care Directive “I need to get a power of attorney for my mother. She’s in an Alzheimer’s unit and she can’t take care of her finances or make medical decisions any more.” That is the most common first call we get. A caller has been told by a friend or a case manager the nursing home that a power of attorney is required, and that it will take a lawyer to write one up for them. Can our caller “get” a power of attorney for her mother? Not exactly. Only her mother can “give” a power of attorney and her mother will need to make the decision herself – and she may (for whatever reason) refuse. There is a lot of understandable confusion about powers of attorney, guardianship and conservatorship. It is important to understand the difference between them. A competent adult may sign a power of attorney giving another person the authority to make financial decisions. But once an individual has lost mental capacity to understand the nature of the power of attorney itself, it is too late to sign the document. At that point it will be necessary to have a court appoint a conservator to manage her finances and a guardian to manage her health care with authority to make a placement in a nursing home, a memory care unit or administer medications. A “diagnosis” of Alzheimer’s may be confusing. It is often described as a “diagnosis of exclusion” because it is impossible to definitively diagnose during life. Instead, the physician must rule out

the other possible causes of dementia before settling on Alzheimer’s. But the precise diagnosis is less important for our legal purposes – a diagnosis of dementia of any type has the same legal effect. It may raise concerns about capacity, but it primarily serves as a cue to the lawyer to ask more searching questions, testing for consistency and true understanding.

At Home Care & Health

Giving POA Can Mom Give Me A Power of Attorney?

So, just because a diagnosis of dementia has been made, it does not necessarily follow that the patient can no longer make legal decisions. In our experience, in fact, most patients with recent diagnoses of dementia may still be able to discuss a power of attorney and health care directive (and other estate planning options, like wills and trusts) – perhaps for years. The legal issue is whether the person understands the effect of the documents he or she is signing. The level of capacity required to sign a power of attorney or health care directive is not terribly high, unless there are complicating circumstances in an individual case. We can usually help the caller who asks for a power of attorney – by showing them how to cope with their legal issues. But it may not be as simple as having the family member sign a power of attorney. Article Provided by: Tom Pixton, The Pixton Law Firm 503-968-2020 www.PixtonLaw.com

Early Warning Signs of Parkinson’s Disease Sometimes it is hard to tell that you might have Parkinson’s disease. The early symptoms are mild and could have other causes making it challenging even for experts to confirm an early diagnosis. Some of the more common early signs of Parkinson’s disease are indicated below. If you are noticing these warning signs and have unexplained symptoms, tell your doctor and ask for an evaluation. Many of these symptoms are normal, caused by medications or other conditions. An expert will be able to evaluate and help you determine their cause.

1. Tremor or Shaking: Tremors or shaking of limbs is a common early sign of Parkinson’s.

2. Small Handwriting: A sudden change in handwriting, such as smaller letter size, may be a sign of Parkinson’s.

3. Loss of Smell: Sense of smell can be changed by a cold, flu or stuffy nose, but ask your doctor if it persists. 4. Trouble Sleeping: Even in sleep, Parkinson’s signs can be detected with sudden movements and thrashing while deeply asleep.

5. Trouble Moving or Walking: Stiffness and rigidity that doesn’t go away when you move or walk.

6. Constipation: If you do not have enough water or fiber in your body, it can cause problems in the bathroom. Also some medications cause

constipation. Speak with your doctor if you are concerned.

7. A Soft Voice: While not always an early symptom, a very soft or hoarse sounding voice might be caused by Parkinson’s disease. 8. Masked Face: If others comment that you have a serious, depressed or mad look on your face, even when you are not in a bad mood, it could be related to PD.

9. Dizziness or Fainting: Feeling dizzy or fainting can be signs of low blood pressure and can also be linked to Parkinson’s disease.

A stroke happens when blood can’t flow to a part of the brain. When the brain doesn’t get the oxygen and nutrients it needs from the blood, its cells are damaged or begin to die. If brain cells are only hurt, they sometimes can be repaired. But brain cells that have died can’t be brought back to life. This means that the brain may stop sending signals to other parts of the body that control things like speaking, thinking, and walking. There are two major types of strokes. The most common kind (ischemic) is caused by blood clots or the narrowing of a blood vessel (artery) leading to the brain. The clot keeps blood from flowing into other regions of the brain and prevents needed oxygen and nutrients from reaching brain cells in these regions. The second major kind of stroke (hemorrhagic) happens when a broken blood vessel (artery) causes bleeding in the brain. This break also stops oxygen and nutrients from reaching brain cells. Stroke Is an Emergency. Call 911. Never ignore the warning signs of stroke. Call 911 RIGHT AWAY if you see or have any of these warning signs:

 Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg-especially on one side of the body  Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding

 Sudden problems seeing in one eye or both eyes

 Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, or trouble walking  Sudden severe headache with no known cause Don’t Ignore The Signs!

The warning signs of a stroke may last only a few minutes and then go away. When this happens, it could be a ministroke, which is called a TIA (transient ischemic attack). This is also a medical emergency that requires attention right away. An unrecognized and untreated TIA can be followed within hours by a major disabling stroke. Always pay attention to any stroke symptoms, even if they are fleeting. What if it is a Stroke?

Recovery from a stroke is most successful if treatment begins within the first 3 hours after symptoms appear. The clot-busting drug t-PA can greatly lower the damage caused by a stroke, but it must be given within the 3 hour time frame. Getting to the hospital as soon as possible allows time for a CT scan of the brain. This scan will show whether t-PA is the right treatment. Only patients with ischemic stroke, caused by a clot, are candidates for this treatment. The doctor will diagnose stroke based on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and medical tests that let doctors look closely at the brain to see the type and location of the stroke. There are many different ways to help people recover from a stroke. Drugs and physical therapy work to improve balance,

A family doctor can provide follow-up care. Progress is different for each person. Some people recover fully soon after a stroke. Others take months or even years. Sometimes the damage is so serious that therapy cannot help at all. Lower Your Risk of Stroke

Talk to your doctor about what you can do to lower your risk of stroke. Even if you’re in perfect health, follow these important suggestions:

 Control your blood pressure. Have your blood pressure checked often. If it is high, follow your doctor’s advice to lower it. Treating high blood pressure lowers the risk of both stroke and heart disease.  Stop smoking. Smoking is linked to increased risk for stroke. Quitting smoking at any age lowers the risk for stroke as well as for a lot of other serious diseases.  Exercise regularly. Activities such as brisk walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, and yard work lower the risk of both stroke and heart disease. Researchers think that exercise may make the heart stronger and improve blood flow. Before you start a vigorous exercise program, be sure to check with your doctor.  Eat healthy foods. Eat foods that are low in fats, cholesterol, and saturated

fatty acids. Include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet.  Control your diabetes. If you have diabetes, work with your doctor to get it under control. Untreated diabetes can damage blood vessels and lead to a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis). This narrows arteries and blocks normal blood flow. A blocked artery will lead to a stroke. For More Information

coordination, and other deficits from the stroke such as speech and language problems. Occupational therapy can make it easier to do things like bathing and cooking. Many therapies start in the hospital and continue at home.

To remember and be remembered are basic human needs. Since the beginning of time, memorials have been based on the belief that no one truly dies until their memory has faded from the hearts and minds of the people who knew and loved them. The pyramids of Egypt and the Taj Mahal are two famous memorials, but memorials needn’t be extravagant to be meaningful. Millions of everyday families find comfort in having a place of remembrance to visit on special days like birthdays and anniversaries. While the value of permanent memorials hasn’t changed, memorials themselves are taking a new direction. Unique, highly personalized memorials are replacing the standard headstones of yesteryear. Today’s memorial formats range from upright monuments featuring photographic images to garden benches, from flat bronze markers, to glass-front niches. Custom built monuments are also available. “A good memorial professional will take the time to get to know your preferences and guide you to options that reflect the life and personality of the individual being honored, within your budget,” says Rich Snider, Sales Manager at Mountain View Memorial Park in Tacoma. We asked Snider how they create personalized memorials at Mountain View. He said, “We start by asking about what was important to the individual. What made them smile? What were they passionate about? When we talk to various family members and get their thoughts, the perfect theme always rises to the surface. Then we show them some options with that theme.”

The needs and comfort of visitors is another consideration in selecting a memorial. Some families choose memorial benches to provide a place for guests to sit and reflect, while others choose an indoor mausoleum to protect visitors from the elements. Still others select an outdoor space near the roadway to allow easy access for family members who may find a long walk difficult. When planning a memorial, it’s important to consider both present and future visitors. One of the reasons most people prefer cemeteries for their permanent memorials is the assurance that their memorial will be preserved indefinitely. That means your great-great granddaughter can come to pay her respects and connect with her ancestry whenever she wants. This may not be possible if you opt for scattering in the ocean or a memorial tree in your backyard.

What Is Hospice And Palliative Care? Hospice is traditionally an option for people whose life expectancy is six months or less, and involves palliative care (pain and symptom relief ) rather than ongoing curative measures, enabling you to live your last days to the fullest, with purpose, dignity, grace, and support. While some hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care facilities provide hospice care onsite, in most cases hospice is provided in the patient’s own home. This enables you to spend your final days in a familiar, comfortable environment, surrounded by your loved ones who can focus more fully on you with the support of hospice staff. The term “palliative care” refers to any care that alleviates symptoms, even if there is hope of a cure by other means. It is an approach that focuses on the relief of pain, symptoms, and emotional stress brought on by serious illness. Your disease doesn’t have to be terminal for you to qualify for palliative care and, in the U.S., many palliative treatments are covered by Medicare. In some cases, palliative treatments may be used to alleviate the side effects of curative treatment, such as relieving the nausea associated with chemotherapy, which may help you tolerate more aggressive or longer-term treatment.

When is it time for hospice and palliative care? It’s not time for hospice care and palliative instead of curative treatment if you are currently benefiting from treatments intended to cure your illness. For some terminally ill patients, though, there comes a point when treatment is no longer working. Continued attempts at treatment may even be harmful, or in some cases treatment might provide another few weeks or months of life, but will make you feel too ill to enjoy that time.

While hope for a full recovery may be gone, there is still hope for as much quality time as possible to spend with loved ones, as well as hope for a dignified, pain-free death. There isn’t a single specific point in an illness when a person should ask about hospice and palliative care; it very much depends on the individual. The following are signs that you may want to explore options with hospice care: You’ve made multiple trips to the emergency room, your condition has been stabilized, but your illness continues to progress significantly, affecting your quality of life. You’ve been admitted to the hospital several times within the last year with the same or worsening symptoms. You wish to remain at home, rather than spend time in the hospital. You have decided to stop receiving treatments for your disease. Other Family Counseling and Support Services: Seniors and family caregivers facing end-of-life decisions often must deal with very difficult issues of grief and loss-both before and after their loved one dies. In addition, they may have practical concerns about their legal rights and how to pay the bills now that an important member of the household is gone.

As caregivers, we cannot assume that we always will be able to provide care. Even if we are able to be active caregivers, it is important to establish both emergency and long-term alternative care plans for our older relative or friend, and to make sure that the necessary legal documents are in place. Legal Documents and Care Plans That Should Be in Place

Every adult should have at least a power of attorney, a living will or medical directive and a will or trust in place so that his or her wishes can be followed. If your older family member does not have these legal directives, you both should consult an attorney and have the appropriate documents drawn up. Making Alternative Long-term Care Arrangements

If your loved one can make informed choices about an alternate caregiver, living arrangement, and other matters, it will be easier to make long-term plans, if you have a power of attorney. If your loved one cannot make informed choices it may be necessary to seek appointment as a conservator and/or guardian. This requires an appointment from the court to act on your care receiver’s behalf regarding matters of care and financial dealings. Whenever possible, discuss your plans for alternative living arrangements or caregiver choice with your loved one and with other close family members as well as the designated caregiver. This will help to avoid opposition in the future that could lead to serious problems.

If you are the only possible informal caregiver, you and/or your relative can appoint a trusted friend or perhaps a committee composed of several friends to oversee your relative’s care, or you may decide that it is best to have a lawyer act as your care receiver’s representative. These arrangements also should be legally established. Once you have decided on an alternate caregiver(s), it will be necessary to ensure that they, too, have the legal power needed to make decisions, should your care receiver be unable to do so. This may involve a durable power of attorney, a special medical power of attorney, and, in some states, a special power of attorney, if property is to be bought or sold, or a guardianship and/or conservatorship. As stated before, you should ensure that both you and your care receiver have medical directives, living wills and estate wills and/or trusts established, if there are financial resources available for your care receiver.

What if the Caregiver Passes Away? Who will provide the care?

Short-term emergencies don’t require the same amount of legal planning, but they must be considered. If you are unable to look after your loved one, you will need to make arrangements with a relative or friend, an assisted living or similar community for short-term respite care, a home care agency or a geriatric care manager.

Connecting People to Resources While most of us don’t need to be reminded that we are growing older, many of us need a gentle push to think about how aging affects our everyday life. In 2011, the first baby boomers reached 65 causing a surge in the number of older Americans, a trend that which will continue for the next 15 years. It’s never too early to start thinking how aging will affect your life and the life of those you love. The good news is that living a full life is more likely today then any time in the past. Planning now for the future can help ensure that your retirement years are the best. But what exactly does ‘planning for the future’ mean? It’s about thinking through options and finding the best solutions now to meet your needs tomorrow. Sometimes the questions are thought provoking – is your current house the best one to retire in? Sometimes they are more obvious – is it time to have grab bars put in the bathroom or a ramp installed over the front steps. And sometimes the questions are scary – is it time to give up the car? The good news is there are a range of resources available. There are businesses and non-profit organizations that will work with you to come up with the best solutions to meet your individual needs whether it’s grab bars, stair rails, meal preparation or getting to doctor appointments.

While addressing changes to your physical environment is important as you age, it is just as important to maintain your social connections to friends and family. Getting older need not mean losing touch with the important people in your life. There are social options through your local senior center including exercise classes, craft circles, dance lessons, table games and even day trips to local activities. And, yes, many offer bingo! Libraries can be another way to connect with others in your community. Besides books, movies, and music available for checkout many offer author talks, computer classes and book clubs. Volunteering can be a personally enriching and satisfying way to stay connected. Often what most people need is someone to listen and help come up with the best solution for them - helping to find the right service at the right time. Your local Senior Services organization is a valuable starting point. In Snohomish County the Aging and Disability Resource number is 800.422.2024.

What You Need to Know About Elder Care Referral Agencies From sprawling retirement communities with hundreds of residents to adult family homes with only a few, the options for senior living are endless. Working alone, most people will be overwhelmed with the choices available and will pick something because it is close or familiar, later discovering that it does not meet their needs. When it is time to seek out housing or care, you will benefit from the experience of a credible referral agency. Having experts in your corner will reduce your stress and save you time. Knowing what to look for in a referral agency, will help you find the best results. Association of Senior Referral Professionals of Washington (ASRP of WA), is committed to establishing and promoting professional and ethical standards within the senior housing and care referral industry; as well as to those who provide supportive and ancillary services for older and other frail adults within the state of Washington. A common business interest of all members is to create a unified and consistent voice which promotes, develops and facilitates: 1. Ethical standards which create a quality experience for seniors, frail adults, and the people who support them. 2. Recommended best practices and the education of members, with a shared goal of improving consumer awareness of options and increasing the ability of consumers to make informed decisions. 3. Education to increase the knowledge and skills of members regarding aging, aging related products and services, communication, decision-making and conflict resolution.

4. Education to increase consumer awareness of aging, senior housing and care options, effective processes for making life transition decisions, and to improve communication amongst family members, and with health care professionals and insurance carriers. 5. A means for consumers, senior housing and care providers, health care professionals, other professionals or community members to provide feedback to the entire referral industry. 6. The use of referral professionals as a means of making effective use of time, energy and resources for consumers and senior housing and care providers. 7. Transparency, disclosure, accuracy of information, and effective, recommended business practices within the senior housing and care referral industry. 8. Protection of consumers by communicating residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights, current and future RCWs & WACs impacting consumers. 9. Collaborative opportunities for consumers and members of the association to have a voice in future legislation and regulation regarding senior housing and care services. 10. Protection of consumers by communicating the option to file complaints to the Ombudsman, The Department of Social & Health Services, Adult Protective Services, The Attorney General, and other regulatory or social service agencies.

What Is A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)? Before I fell in love with the senior living industry, and decided to make it my career, I was simply a granddaughter trying to find the best community for my beloved grandparents. I had no knowledge about senior communities, as I had never needed to know about them. Then, dementia and medical issues plagued my grandparents, and my family was at a loss about how best we could help take care of them. Thus, began my search. I found everywhere I went there were various acronyms and terms. Month to Month communities, CCRC’s, IL, AL, SNF’s and Memory Care, what did it all mean? I became educated quite quickly, and within a few months of touring various communities, having endless discussions with members of my family and grandparents, we decided a CCRC suited their wants and needs best. I found CCRC stands for Continuing Care Retirement Community. What they offer are various levels of care contained on one campus. The goal is to offer their residents the ability to what many of us refer to as “aging in place” in order to accommodate their changing needs. The types and levels of care at each CCRC will differ. While they will all offer Assisted Living, CCRC’s may also offer Independent Living, Memory Care, or a Skilled Nursing Facility.

120

CCRC’s will also have what are called Entrance Fees or a Buy-In Fees. This is a large lump sum that is determined by the community, based on the type of financial

program they offer. There are 3 different options of Entrance/Buy-In Fees. 1. Life Care – This tends to be the most expensive, as you are normally guaranteed unlimited Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing care as long as you live within the community. 2. Modified – Your fee will cover all Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing care for a set period of time. 3. Fee-For-Service – You pay for Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing care as you need it. Another difference between CCRC’s and their Entrance or Buy-In Fee programs, is the refund of that fee once you or your loved one are no longer living in that community. This can be a big factor in the decision making process. Some CCRC’s will refund 100% of the fee within a certain timeframe after moving out. Others will refund a portion, while some will refund none at all. Researching the vast options available for senior living can seem incredibly daunting and overwhelming at times. However, after the tours have been done, and all of your questions have been answered; when you find that perfect community, it will all have been worth it.

Retirement Connection Guide â&#x20AC;˘ 1-800-462-1316

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 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 the 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. 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 common bathroom, to private apartments with kitchenette and 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) 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.

Housing

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. Memory Care or Dementia Communities offer or provide care for residents with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. 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.

Need a Little Help? you’ve got options for medical rehabilitation & respite care It’s estimated that as many as 60 percent of all individuals will need some type of extended care during their lifetime. But that doesn’t necessarily mean longterm care. With hip replacements and orthopedic surgeries doubling in the last ten years, high-quality short-term care is in more demand today than ever. Rehabilitation Services

So what can you do if you have stairs at the house or no one to stay with you after a medical incident or surgery? One option is a temporary stay in a residential retirement community. And if you think that means a nursing home, think again. Residential communities are far from traditional nursing homes, offering luxury amenities, delicious dining, intellectual programming and more — all while you’re getting 24-hour assistance, care and physical therapy. Start your search by geography. Consider proximity to your provider’s office for follow-up appointments or, if your condition is fragile, to hospitals for easy admittance if needed. Most residential communities can arrange transportation for medical appointments — a huge plus if you’re not able to drive. Respite Care

Anyone who has cared for someone with cognitive challenges knows that sometimes you need a break from caregiving — for a vacation or just a little time to yourself. Many of the new breed of retirement communities offer respite care for your loved one in a residential setting — more like a hotel stay, but with the 24-hour support of trained staff who

138

understand how to help each individual at his or her own cognitive level. “Can I afford it?”

Expect to pay from $160 to $300 per day for rehabilitation stays or respite care. Spendy? Yes, but in exchange for worry-free rehabilitation and most likely a speedier recovery without incident, it’s worth it. Plus, that cost includes everything: dining, some medical care, orthopedic rehabilitation, housekeeping, transportation and enriching activities. If you’re a Medicare recipient recovering from a serious medical incident such as a heart attack or stroke, you could be eligible for as much as 100 percent of the cost of a short-term stay in a “skilled nursing facility” under certain conditions. As you might imagine, the rules can get complicated: Go to http://www.medicare. gov/coverage/skilled-nursing-facility-care. html for a good overview. And remember, if you’re eligible, it doesn’t matter if it’s cheap and cheerful or a five-star facility — your coverage is the same. One last tip: A short-term stay at a residential retirement community is also a great way to “try before you buy.” If you’ve ever thought about making a change but are hesitant, the time you spend in rehab could be just what you need to determine whether a community’s right for you.

Five Great Ways for Families to Connect Family bonds are ever important in our quickly changing world. When families connect, the correlation between past and present becomes more apparent. Grandparents, parents, and children who share experiences find their relationships grow deeper over time. Here are five ways for your family to connect no matter their age.

Viewing Photo Albums

Story Telling

Visiting Museums Together

Stories from the past help us better understand our shared history. Sitting down together to share stories — even repeated stories — draw us closer together. The next time you’re at a family gathering, make a point of sharing stories between generations. Often our elders come alive when remembering times gone by. Children can discuss their own stories to gain perspective on how life has changed over the years.

Visit a museum together and discuss how times have changed over the years. History and art are two subjects that allow us to see how perceptions on life have changed over the years. The discussion opportunities from a visit to a museum will be countless. There are a lot of museums waiting to be explored with friends and family, and now is a great time of the year to start making those plans.

On Instagram

Sharing photos from our smartphones and tablets has become ubiquitous in our culture. One of the easiest and most popular “apps” for this sharing is Instagram and is a great way for families to connect through photography. Young and old alike can take interesting pictures to share with each other on Instagram or simply follow the posts of others. You can scroll through recent pictures of those you love with the simple swipe of your finger. All you need is to download the free app on your smartphone or tablet to be on your way to photographic fun and connecting with loved ones.

158

Flipping through old family photo albums to explore the past visually can be even more engaging. Take advantage of having the opportunity to ask questions about the events seen in photos. Viewing photo albums together helps bring the past to life, and reminds us of the good old days of our shared history.

Going to the Movies

Going to the movies together is a wonderful shared opportunity. See films that everyone in the family will enjoy and then discuss them afterwards. Different perspectives may come to light from different generations, and it’s easier to discuss when there is something like a movie to talk about. Historical movies create the added opportunity to discuss the accuracy of the events portrayed. Find ways to interact with your family now, and you’ll be surprised how enjoyable it will be for everyone involved!

Retirement Connection Guide • 1-800-462-1316

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 state’s terminology and state regulations can be found at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/daltcp/ Reports/04alcom.htm

 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.

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.

 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).

The following suggestions can help you get started in your search for a safe and appropriate assisted living community:

Source: www.eldercare.gov/eldercare/ Public/resources/fact_sheets/assisted_ living.asp

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

Due to the large number of Adult Foster Homes, not all are listed in this guide. This link provides a complete list:

Choosing A Community

 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.

Helping the person with Alzheimer's communicate People with Alzheimer's and other dementias have more difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions; they also have more trouble understanding others. Here are some ways to help the person with Alzheimer's communicate: Be Patient and Supportive

Let the person know you're listening and trying to understand. Show the person that you care about what he or she is saying and be careful not to interrupt. Offer comfort and reassurance

If he or she is having trouble communicating, let the person know that it's okay. Encourage the person to continue to explain his or her thoughts. Avoid Criticizing or Correcting

Don't tell the person what he or she is saying is incorrect. Instead, listen and try to find the meaning in what is being said. Repeat what was said if it helps to clarify the thought. Avoid Arguing

If the person says something you don't agree with, let it be. Arguing usually only makes things worse — often heightening the level of agitation for the person with dementia. Offer a Guess

If the person uses the wrong word or cannot find a word, try guessing the right one. If you understand what the

174

person means, you may not need to give the correct word. Be careful not to cause unnecessary frustration. Encourage Unspoken Communication

If you don't understand what is being said, ask the person to point or gesture. Limit Distractions.

Find a place that's quiet. The surroundings should support the person's ability to focus on his or her thoughts. Focus on Feelings, Not Facts

Sometimes the emotions being expressed are more important than what is being said. Look for the feelings behind the words. At times, tone of voice and other actions may provide clues. Be aware of your feelings and attitude — you may be communicating through your tone of voice. Use positive, friendly facial expressions and nonverbal communication. For communication tips from other caregivers, join www. alzconnected.org, our message boards and online support community. Every day, caregivers like you share new ideas and encourage one another.

Medicare Part A Basics What Is Skilled Nursing Care?

Skilled nursing and skilled rehabilitation services are those which require the skills of technical or professional personnel such as nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. In order to be deemed skilled, the service must be so inherently complex that it can be safely and effectively performed only by, or under the supervision of, professional or technical personnel. Medicare Should Pay for Skilled Nursing Facility Care if:  The patient was hospitalized for at least three days and was admitted to the SNF within 30 days of hospital discharge.  A physician certifies that the patient needs SNF care.

Examples of Skilled Services:  Physical Therapy  Occupational Therapy  Respiratory therapy  Speech Language Therapy  Wound Care (daily)  Injections, IV therapy  Pain Management  Overall management and evaluation of care plan.  Observation and assessment of patient’s changing condition.  Levin tube and gastrostomy feedings

 The beneficiary requires skilled nursing or skilled rehabilitation services, or both, on a daily basis.

 Ongoing assessment of rehabilitation needs and potential

 The skilled nursing facility is a Medicare certified facility.

 Gait evaluation and training

Other Important Points:

 Therapeutic exercises or activities Medicare Part A Coverage in a Skilled Nursing Facility:

 The restoration potential of the patient is not the deciding factor in determining whether skilled services are needed.

 3 midnight “in patient” stay at hospital (observation days are not covered)

 The management of a plan involving only a variety of “custodial” personal care services is skilled when, in light of the patient’s condition, the aggregate of those services requires the involvement of skilled personnel.

 First 20 days are covered at 100%

 The requirement that a patient receive

184

"daily" skilled services will be met if skilled rehabilitation services are provided five days per week.

 100 day Benefit period provided patient continues to need skilled care.  Day 21-100 Coinsurance days, Co Pay $157.50 (changed yearly)  Once they exhaust their 100 days of Medicare, Medicare Part A Coverage is not in effect unless there is a 61 day break in care.

Medicare guidelines allow for some patients to be readmitted within a 30-day period. This 30-day period is referred to as the Medicare window. This can occur whether the patient discharged home from an acute stay or had a post-acute stay in a skilled nursing facility and did not use the entire 100 day benefit during the skilled stay. To qualify for readmission during the Medicare window, the patient must:  Have a minimum of 3 consecutive inpatient days in an acute care hospital

 Have received Part A benefits in an acute care hospital or skilled nursing center within the last 30 days  Require rehabilitative care or skilled nursing care related to the initial reason for hospitalization and Medicare coverage
