I write this letter, not just as the publisher of the guide, but as a reader and someone who has used many of the resources included both here and online.
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 Southern Oregon 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.
Amy Schmidt, PublisherOur guide is organized into 3 primary sections and identified by color tabs:
This section offers two comparison spreadsheets/ grids One for 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
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 5 primary care levels: Independent Living, Assisted Living/Residential Care, Adult Foster Homes, Memory Care & Skilled Nursing/Intermediate Care The communities are separated by county 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 found at the beginning of the housing section
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 in-home under 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 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 physician’s order is required to be reimbursed by Medicare. Medicare is a Federal health insurance program for those 65 and over or 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 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).

Most of us want to remain as independent as possible. Sometimes, all that may be required is a simple medication reminder. However, if getting ready for your day has become more difficult and you require some assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, grooming and getting dressed, there are caregivers that can assist with these tasks. The first step is realizing that you need additional support and then asking for it.
Asking for help and the fear of losing independence and control can be challenging. There are community resources available to discuss these very topics, including: Registered Nurses and social workers. These professionals are well versed on what resources are available in your area.
Next, take some time to consider whether or not you’ll stay in your home or move to a community. Monthly charges range from $2,000 to $12,000 per month (depending on the level of care). Your financial situation and family support system will likely influence your decision to stay at home with extra help; or move to a community. This is a tough decision and may require downsizing and selling your home.
How do I pay for home care services?
Although paying for home care can be expensive, there are many options for seniors and their families. Learning more about Medicaid, Medicare, long-term care insurance, and various state programs can help older adults as they navigate the financial aspect of long-term care.
Medicaid: Funding for those with limited financial resources may receive assistance with some or all of their home care expenses from Medicaid.
Medicare: Available to all adults 65 and older. However, Medicare is meant for acute health episodes, and not long-term care. Those that are homebound, need skilled services, and require intermittent help may be able to receive some home health care services under Medicare funding.
Long Term Care Insurance: Each policy is different, with some covering only nursing home costs- but many current policies allow for homecare services.
State Programs: Older adults that do not qualify for larger government programs like Medicaid may qualify for more local state programs, because states have greater freedom in establishing requirements for their programs.
Private Pay: Many families choose to perform many of the home care services for a loved one themselves. Yet, some seniors require skilled services. For families that do not meet eligibility requirements of certain programs, out of pocket funding may be unavoidable.
Non profit support: There are many other non-profit organizations, volunteer groups, or faith based organizations that may also help. Check your local area agency on aging for more information. Article provided by: Retirement Connection www.RetirementConnection.com

As we journey through life's twists and turns, unexpected challenges can arise, especially as we age. One moment, we're active and well; the next, we're facing an unexpected accident or chronic illness. How can we minimize the anxiety and stress caused by such circumstances? The answer lies in proactive planning and a solid "Plan B" in place, even while we're healthy and active.
Southern Oregon Friends of Hospice understands the importance of considering alternatives before the need arises. Devising a course of action during a crisis is challenging, and it's hard to think clearly under pressure. That's why we advocate for planning ahead, ensuring that precious time and resources can be saved if unforeseen circumstances occur.
Consider this hypothetical scenario: Bill, an 83-year-old widower, relied on his son, James, for assistance in maintaining his independence at home. This was their "Plan A." However, when Bill was diagnosed with a terminal illness requiring round-the-clock care, their original plan became unfeasible. The family couldn't afford a 24-hour caregiver, and James' own health began to suffer.
Without a contingency plan in place, the family scrambled to create an end-of-life care plan. This underscores the necessity of proactive planning, including understanding available options, costs, and preferences for care.
Planning ahead enables individuals and their loved ones to navigate end-of-life decisions with peace of mind and dignity. By taking proactive steps and seeking support, families can alleviate much of the stress and uncertainty that often accompanies such situations.
At Southern Oregon Friends of Hospice, we aim to promote broader knowledge and awareness of end-of-life care issues. Through education and support, we empower individuals and families to make informed decisions and effectively plan for their future care needs.
Here are some action steps to minimize anxiety and stress caused by unexpected challenges related to aging or end-of-life care:
Initiate Family Conversations
Research Available Resources
Consult with Healthcare Professionals
Create Advance Directives
Explore Long-Term Care Insurance
Review and Update Plans Regularly
Seek Support from Organizations
Communicate with Loved Ones
Act Now
For more information and resources on endof-life care planning, contact Southern Oregon Friends of Hospice. We're here to support you every step on your journey towards peace and preparedness.

The simple answer: Medicare and Medicaid are two different healthcare programs with different functions and beneficiaries. The oversimplified answer: Medicare is a federal healthcare insurance program primarily for seniors regardless of income. Medicaid is a joint program between federal and state agencies to provide healthcare to low-income people of all ages.
What is Medicare?
Medicare is an insurance program. Medical bills are paid from trust funds which those covered have paid into. It serves people over 65 primarily, whatever their income; and serves younger disabled people and dialysis patients. Patients pay part of costs through deductibles for hospital and other costs.
Small monthly premiums are required for non-hospital coverage. Medicare is a federal program. It is the same everywhere in the United States and is run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, an agency of the federal government. Consumers contribute to some of the costs of Medicare through premiums, deductibles, and copayments.
For more information regarding Medicare and its components, visit http://www.medicare.gov.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for:
People age 65 or older.
People under age 65 with certain disabilities.
People of all ages with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant).
What Is Medicaid?
Medicaid is a general assistance program.
Medicaid provides health coverage to millions of Americans, including eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities.
Patients usually pay no part of the costs for covered medical expenses. A small co-payment is sometimes required.
Medicaid is administered by states, according to federal requirements. The program is funded jointly by states and the federal government.
Each state Medicaid agency has full responsibility for all aspects of the administration and operation of the Medicaid program in their state, including determining eligibility for and enrollment into their program.
Medicaid Eligibility Requirements
Medicaid eligibility criteria vary from state to state. Many states have expanded their Medicaid programs to cover more low-income adults. If you are unsure if you might qualify for Medicaid, you should apply.
You might be eligible depending on your household income, family size, age, disability, and other factors. You must be a United States (U.S.) citizen, a U.S. national, or have a satisfactory immigration status to be eligible for full benefits.
Visit HealthCare.gov to take a quick screening to help you determine your eligibility for Medicaid or other health insurance options. How to Apply

Where do you begin to find your way through the maze of housing options, care needs, budget and amenities?
Don’t go it alone, referral agencies and placement consultants are a valuable resource to save time and anxiety. These professionals are familiar with the numerous options and availability. Many also review the state survey and public disclosure file for any record of criminal activity or lack of compliance with laws/ rules.
Step 1: Gain detailed knowledge of the assistance/needs of the resident.
This will narrow the type of community to those that are licensed and capable of providing the proper care. It may be awkward for families to ask the personal questions related to care needs and personal assistance; sometimes an objective third person is able to ask more detailed questions and uncover concerns or fears while helping the resident maintain a sense of privacy.
Step 2: Know your budget. Community fees may vary, with application fees, deposits, levels of care and ancillary services. A placement consultant may be able to help you to better balance the big picture.
Step 3: Focus on the geographic area that fits best.
This is a new chapter in their life, and they will be creating a whole new social network. The goal is to accommodate frequent visitation of the resident’s support system. Proximity to an established network of friends and family is an important factor, should any healthcare or emotional changes occur.
Step 4: Visit the communities.
After narrowing the field to those that best fit your needs, you will be better able to look at the amenities, services and activities. Get to know the activities offered, meet the staff, and try the food. These are the things that make a community feel like home and help aid the adjustment process.
Warning:
Placing your name into various websites can launch a barrage of phone calls of solicitations from businesses and agencies that aren’t even of interest to you. If you plan to work with a referral agency, select a local senior advisor that will tour and be with you each step of the way.

Comprehensive suite of services
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 Foster 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, 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 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 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.

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
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).
It is a good idea to review The Substantiated Facility Abuse Complaints at https://ltclicensing.oregon.gov
This website contains Facility Adult Protective Services (APS) investigations that constitute abuse as determined by Corrective Action Coordinators.

Hospice programs are available to help terminally ill individuals live their remaining days with dignity. These programs can assist the family in making the patient as comfortable as possible. Assistance is available around the clock, seven days a week.
Hospice is primarily a concept of care and not a specific place of care. Hospice care usually is provided in the person’s home. It also can be made available at a special hospice residence. Hospice is a combination of services designed to address not only the physical needs of patients, but also the psychosocial needs of patients and their loved ones.
Hospice combines pain control, symptom management and emotional and spiritual support. Seniors and their families participate fully in the health care provided. The hospice team develops a care plan to address each patient’s individual needs. The hospice care team usually includes:
The terminally ill patient and family
Doctor
Nurses
Home health aides
Clergy or other spiritual counselors
Social workers
Volunteers (if needed, and trained to perform specific tasks)
Occupational, physical, and/or speech therapists (if needed)
When is Hospice Care
Appropriate?
As with many end-of-life decisions, the choice to enroll in a hospice care program is a deeply personal thing. It depends almost
as much on the patient’s philosophy of living and spiritual beliefs as it does on his or her physical condition and the concerns of family members.
Medicare, private health insurance, and Medicaid (in 43 states) covers hospice care for patients who meet eligibility criteria. Private insurance and veterans’ benefits may also cover hospice care under certain conditions. In addition, some hospice programs offer healthcare services on a sliding fee scale basis for patients with limited income and resources. To get help with your Medicare questions call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit www.medicare.gov. Additional information about how to pay for hospice care can be found at the Public Policy Institute of the AARP.
Other Counseling & Support Services
Seniors and family caregivers facing endof-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.
