Welcome
TO THE TWIN CITIES SENIOR HOUSING GUIDE I don’t have any statistics to show you, but making an educated guess based on the number of Housing Guides left over from last year’s printing (only 3!) I would say my assumption is correct; this winter pushed many people over the edge and they have decided to make the move. Tired of shoveling snow (even more than usual!) they decided this was their last winter to shovel the white stuff. It was time to move and let someone else do it. I usually, have a few boxes left over. That’s good--in case someone calls wanting copies or I give a presentation on housing. But, this year was definitely different. I had more people ordering the Guide (or asking where they could pick one up) than ever before. For you folks wishing to remain in your homes you can let someone else do the shoveling, thankfully, snow removal companies are as close as your telephone. However, if money is a problem, there are community programs that will perform the service on a sliding fee scale. If you need cash for more than just the shoveling, another option you might want to consider is a reverse mortgage. They’re not right for everyone, but in certain cases they can be a tremendous help. On another note: watch for changes in our website this year. We are in the process of making it more interactive. It will still have a comprehensive list of housing options by county, but it will also include more resources and articles. You can find it at: www.seniorhousingguide.us. My sincere thanks to all the advertisers who make this publication possible. I appreciate your business!

Subsidies For Services
Eldery Waiver (EW) and Alternative Care (AC) Programs Do you need services that could help you stay in your home? You should know about Minnesota’s Elderly Waiver and Alternative Care assistance programs. These programs also help pay for services that support family caregiving and spouses who are caring for senior family members. Both programs assist people 65 and older who are at risk of needing some form of care available in a nursing home. The Elderly Waiver program serves people who are already eligible for Medical Assistance programs. To be eligible for the Alternative Care program both income and assets are considered.
Health Care Choices for Minnesotans on Medicare
Determining Eligibility
The first step in qualifying for this kind of assistance is to have a LongTerm Care Consultation. These are available, free of charge, to people of all income levels. They are conducted by lead agency teams made up of at least one case manager and one public health nurse. During each consultation, the team: • provides information about available home and community-based services, • arranges an in-person visit to assess needs and help plan services, and • offers information about public programs that can help pay for services.
Elderly Waiver (EW) and Alternative Care (AC) assistance applies to a wide variety of services. Among these are:
• consumer directed purchasing, • companion services, • help with house cleaning, • meals delivered to your home, • transportation into your neighborhood and community, • some care-related supplies and equipment, • ways to make your home supportive for age-related changes, • help with coordinating services, • adult day care, • nutrition counseling (AC only), • adult foster care serrvices (EW only), • customized living services (EW only), • residential care services (EW only), • personal care assistants, • home health aide services, and • visits by a skilled nurse. Family assistance includes caregiver support, adult day services, and respite care. To arrange for a consultation or to learn more about Elderly Waivers and Alternative Care assistance programs, call your county’s human service or public health agency or call the Senior LinkAge Line 1-800-333-2433.

Care Suites: A New Model “I promised mom I would never put her in a nursing home,” is a phrase professionals in senior living have heard again and again. For some, the very idea of a “nursing home” is problematic. No matter how many happy residents and dedicated employees they meet, how many beautiful buildings they tour, or how much research they do, some families will never be comfortable moving a loved one into nursing care. However, the fact remains that the level of care available in a skilled nursing facility is exactly what many people need. Fortunately, for these families, there is another way to provide the same level of care outside of a traditional, skilled nursing center. As America ages, the senior housing industry creates more and more options to meet changing needs – to provide the care and the lifestyle choices individuals and families need, when and where they are needed. Assisted living communities are one of those options. Created to provide full apartments with access to services like personal and wellness care, medication administration, meals and housekeeping, assisted living apartments allow residents to maintain as much independence as possible. With a Registered Nurse on site during business hours (on call 24/7), and care attendants on duty 24-hours a day, assisted living communities cater to those who typically don’t need complicated full-time medical attention.
Care Suites: A Higher Level of Care in a Homelike Environment For those who require higher levels of care – whether current assisted living residents, or those looking for an alternative to skilled nursing care – many assisted

Care
living communities now provide Care Suites within their communities. Care Suites are a private pay option for seniors who require levels of service common in skilled nursing homes – such as two-person transfers, mechanical lifts, wound care or gastric tube management – but who have the financial means and the desire to stay in a private apartment with their own furnishings. Care Suites offer very low resident-to-staff ratios while providing unique clinical services that can greatly reduce office visits and hospital stays. Usually a staff LPN is on duty in Care Suites16-24 hours a day. Care Suites offer advanced care in a traditional assisted living apartment. These homelike environments are available furnished or unfurnished, and are grouped into one area within their senior living community. This area usually has its own dining room and lounge, and nursing staff that is readily accessible, allowing for closer observation of Care Suite residents.
What Does a Care Suite Cost and Who Pays?
Cares Suites usually charge by the day. The daily charge typically includes: three meals, housekeeping, and a package of care designed especially for the resident, with options for skilled nursing procedures (if needed). Care Suite stays are paid for privately. Long-term care insurance policies may reimburse you for Care Suite expenses. The limits are described in your individual certificate of coverage, or you may contact your insurance agent for more details. Continued on page 73
that have
Care Suites
Because the Twin Cities Senior Housing Guide does not have a section just for “Care Suites,” how do you find them? You can find residences that have “Care Suites” by looking in the heading and then in the column entitled, “Campus/On Site.” This column tells you what other types of housing are available on-site or are available as part of the campus for each housing residence. The column “Campus/On Site” starts appearing in the section Housing with 3+ Services. “Care Suites” are denoted in the column by the abbreviation “CS.” Other abbreviations used in the column are IL – Independent Living, AL – Assisted Living, MC – Memory Care, and NH – Nursing Home.
CS = Care Suites

The wide, wide world of Genealogy has gotten
wider!
Once upon a time, practicing genealogy meant searching though dusty boxes in someone’s attic or digging through old records in a courthouse basement. Then in the 1990s, the Internet opened the world to genealogists. Today there are more websites – both free and subscription-based – than any one person could possibly investigate in a lifetime! As great as that sounds, having so much available information can lead to problems. This stems from the sheer quantity of resources…how they are organized and tracked… and how people go about evaluating this material for their own research.
Not all Genealogy Websites are created equal
When it comes right down to it, ANYONE can post ANYTHING on the Internet, even though it may not be accurate. It’s important to remember that family trees – regardless of how good they LOOK (even on paid websites) – should not be added to YOUR tree before you do your own research, first. It is also important to remember that just because someone includes a bibliography, sourcing information for their tree, it’s not proof that their information is reliable. The best way to use data from someone else’s tree is to treat it as a CLUE, not solid evidence. Doing your own online research will ultimately save you time and frustration—but only if: • You use accurate data • Keep track of your research • Note what you find and where you found it
Keep a Research Log
OK, so you have enough clues to begin your search…WAIT before posting this information to your family tree program. If you record data in your tree and later discover it is inaccurate, you will regret it. Removing people from your database is time-consuming and frustrating. Instead, use your tree database only for PROVEN family members, and set up a Research Log with files like “Genealogy Thompson” to record draft information including family connections that are not yet verified. To set up a Research Log, you first need to create a file in your documents program labeled: Genealogy Research Log. I suggest you also create a sub-file for each surname you are planning to research. These sub-files will automatically organize themselves in alphabetical order, so when you find information or images, you can file them under the proper surname. This way they’ll be easy to locate later. Once you’ve created your Research Log file and sub-files, create a new document in “Landscape Orientation” using the table function in your word processing program, or a data program like Microsoft Excel. Column headings should include information like: Date 4/5/2014
Name Researched Thompson
Info Source http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nivek/
Page/Topic
Record every website you research. When you’re done for the day, be sure to save your document one final time. If the site has led you to useful information, you might consider saving it in a separate document to place in the appropriate surname sub-file.

The most critical (and difficult) part of creating a genealogy is successfully evaluating what constitutes “useful information.” Whenever possible, it’s important to find original documents to ensure you are using correct, unaltered data. Beware of information shared on message boards, personal websites and posted trees – especially those that go back a thousand years and include royal lineage. It’s wise to be wary. Those people do exist, but they are rare since many royal houses had issues with genetic diseases (like hemophilia) that reduced the number of offspring who reached adulthood. One notable exception was a woman I know who was researching which tartan she should wear to a Scottish event. It never occurred to her that she might have royal blood. She was very surprised to discover that she did!
Original records are important
Whether or not you come from royal lineage, it’s invaluable to get good, photographic images of original records. This may sound like a monumental task, but it’s not as difficult as it sounds. Many websites offer “useful” information. But those that are really useful are those that include photographed images of original documents. Most of these sites are fee-based. But there are some very helpful free databases, like FAMILY SEARCH. You find it at https://familysearch.org/search. Scroll to the bottom of the page where it lists records by continents, sub-continental regions, and by certain countries. The link to U.S. data will take you to records for every state. Minnesota is well represented. The collections of Minnesota records contain both transcribed records and photographed versions of original documents. Transcribed records provide good back-up to copies of original records. But, since transcribers are only human, therein lies the potential for error. Photographed original records can be identified by the small camera icon to the left of the name of these collections
Here are some other helpful genealogy websites…
These sites contain valuable records available at no charge: • National Archives of Norway – http://www.arkivverket.no/eng/The-National-Archives • Find-a-Grave.com – http://www.findagrave.com One fee-based site th at offers old newspapers and photographed original documents is: • Ancestry.com – http://www.ancestry.com The largest, most complete and reliable list of websites for genealogists is: • Cyndi’s List – http://www.cyndislist.com/us/ Just remember to stay organized, keep good records and trust only what you can thoroughly verify.

Getting to Know Your Family History Bonnie Clark
I was fortunate. I grew up around a large number of older relatives; three grandparents and three great-grandparents! While I spent a great deal of time with my paternal grandmother and got to know her quite well, I regret not getting to know the others better than I did. When you’re young I think it’s easy to believe the world as we see it is the way things have always been and always will be. It’s not until we’re older that we begin to realize how quickly the world can change, and start to wonder what life was like for earlier generations. Just who were they? What was life like for them? Now that people are living longer than ever before, we can have the opportunity to really get to know our older relatives and pass on family stories. When visiting with them, showing interest in their “story” gives us something to talk about and lets us learn about the world they knew. Recording their stories and other family history not only preserves
it, it also gives a nod of importance to older generations. So next time you are having a family gathering, get out the old photo albums and write down who’s who…what they did, and how they are related to each other and... to you! Ask your older relatives if you can work with them to record their stories. What life was like for them during their childhood and youth? Find out how they met their spouse…what major historical events they lived through… and any other information they would like to pass on to younger generations. While most of us live rather mundane lives, you might just be surprised. And even if there are no shocking revelations, learning about life through the eyes of someone who has lived a long time can give you insights into your own life and an understanding of the people who have come before.
On the opposite page is my dad’s side of the family—the Clarks. From my research I have I have determined we are Irish, English, and German and we settled in central Illinois around the early 1800s. Most of my family was farmers. While we are not a particularly large family, we seem to have longevity on our side.

The Touch
of
Therapy Dogs Can Bring Healing
It’s a natural thing… Humans and dogs are two of the most social species on earth. No wonder we find so much comfort in each other’s company! Those who live with dogs can attest to their profound effect on us humans. But have you ever wondered why this is true? Research has shown that human contact with canines can trigger various neurotranmitters in the brain. Simple interactions with dogs can raise levels of oxytocin (a hormone linked to bonding), as well as dopamine (a “feel good” hormone). By contrast, scientists have observed decreased production of cortisol (a glucocorticoid released in response to stress), it is responsible for raising blood sugar levels and suppressing the immune system. So, just what IS a Therapy Dog? Therapy dogs are canine professionals trained to provide comfort and affection to people going through challenging transitions and difficult times. Accompanied by their handlers, therapy dogs visit hospitals, nursing care facilities, retirement homes, hospices, disaster areas, schools, and the homes of individuals with learning disabilities. “Patient” testimonials from children, adults and the elderly alike, tell of ways therapy dogs have helped them through trying circumstances. Some therapy dogs have even helped children learn to read because, when reading to a dog, a child can and focus on the dog without fear of criticism. This builds their self-confidence! Putting humans and dogs together can heal the hearts of hurting people in their times of need. Handlers and “dog parents” also express how fun and rewarding therapy visits can be—allowing them to form special bonds that create happiness all around.
How can you and your dog to become a successful therapy team? Determining whether your pet can turn professional is really quite simple. Therapy dogs: • Love people of all ages and descriptions • Enjoy their new role as a “working dog” • Can be trained certain basic skills, including: walking nicely on a leash, coming when called, sitting calmly on command, and displaying a willingness to “hang out” with their new client/ friend, even when you walk away • Once you and your BCF (best canine friend) have mastered some basic skills, you will want to take the Canine Good Citizen Test. A passing score will determine when you’re ready to begin formal classes to become a Therapy Dog Team. At that point, you can start using your new skills and sharing your dog’s talents to bring joy into the lives of others. You might be someone’s super hero! Therapy dogs and their handlers make for a dynamic duo! You’ll bring smiles to the faces of people of all ages and situations. They’ll be forever grateful, while your life— and that of your BCF—will be enriched too! Jody Karow, CTC, is a graduate of The Academy for Dog Trainers, and Owner of DogSense Unleashed in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Jody provides training and counseling to dog parents, leading to joyful lives together.

Using
a
Reverse Mortgage
to
Purchase
a
Home
Newly constructed properties must have a certificate of occupancy, the borrower must occupy the property within 60 days of closing, and it must be the principal residence.
What is the Investment?
Your investment in the new home is the difference between the net principal limit and the sales price for the property. The net principal limit is determined by the youngest borrower’s age, the interest rate and the appraised value of the property OR lending limit, less the loan and closing fees. If the borrower can bring a larger investment to closing, this permits a credit line to be established which can be used for future draws. Starting in 2009 persons aged 62 and older could use a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) to purchase a home. The HECM is FHA’s reverse mortgage product and is insured by the federal government. The purchase-to-own HECM can benefit the potential owner because there is only one set of closing costs to pay. Previously, a homeowner would purchase the house, pay the closing costs, and then get a reverse mortgage, which triggered a second closing and additional closing costs. The rules for using a HECM to purchase a residence are pretty much the same as using a HECM in an already owned property.
What types of residences are eligible through the purchaseto-own HECM?
Types of residences that qualify are single family homes, one-to-four unit residential buildings, and most condominiums and townhomes. Cooperatives are not yet eligible in Minnesota, but may be in the near future. Some manufactured homes qualify if they were built after 1976 and have a permanent foundation.
What are Allowable Funding Sources?
The borrower may only use their own money or money obtained from the sale of their personal assets, such as a home. Proceeds from the borrower’s savings or retirement account are also acceptable, but no additional loans may be used for the owner’s investment portion.
Confused?
If you are confused, read the article “Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?” then call Reverse Mortgage Counselors, Incorporated (RMCI) at 651-368-8516 or 1-888-690-7829 to set up a counseling, educational session. Counseling is required by law for anyone getting a reverse mortgage. RMCI will go over all the details and numbers with you in a one-on-one counseling session to make sure you understand this loan product and address any questions or concerns you have. Like anything, a reverse mortgage can be a great financial tool for some people and the wrong tool for others. RMCI counselors can help you see the pros and cons. RMCI is a HUD approved counseling agency.

Staying Put • Community Based Resources •Reverse Mortgages • Home Health Care • Adult Day Services •Hospice Almost 80% of people 65 or older state that their preference is to remain in their single family homes. If this is your decision, be realistic and acknowledge that in order to remain in your home you may need to do things differently than the way you have done them in the past. Consider having other people do chores that may have become difficult and are somewhat dangerous, such as cleaning gutters. The article “Staying in Your Home – Programs and Services to Help You Remain in Your Home” lists ideas and resources that can help with chores and make it easier for you to remain in your home. Think of it this way, did you ever enjoy cleaning gutters?
Look at your residence with a critical eye. It may need some modifications for age-related changes. Consider having an accessible bathroom put on the first floor, bring up the washer and dryer from the basement, eliminate throw rugs and improve the lighting. For more information, read the online article “Staying in Your Home–Making Your Home Supportive for Aging.” Need more money to accomplish these tasks?

• Are you 62 or older? • Do you own your home (or are you close)? • Do you live there the majority of the year? • Do you plan to live there for many more years? • Do you need money to modify your home to make it more supportive for age-related changes or to meet rising medical costs or other needs? If so, you might want to learn more about “reverse mortgages.” This form of financing enables many seniors to remain in their homes. Reading this article will help you determine if a reverse mortgage might be an option for you. If it is, you may want to do more research and/or you may want to see someone who can explain a reverse mortgage in detail.

If you’re like many Americans, your home is probably your biggest financial asset. In the past, the only way you could “cash in” on that investment was to sell your home or borrow against it. With a reverse mortgage, however, you can take advantage of the equity you have in your home without having to move and without making monthly loan repayments. As a matter of fact, you don’t have to pay back a reverse mortgage for as long as you live in your home. Continued on page 26

Is A Reverse Mortgage Right For You??
What is a “Reverse Mortgage?”
A reverse mortgage is a loan against your home’s equity. The loan provides cash advances to the borrower and requires no repayment until the last borrower sells or moves out permanently. There are several types of reverse mortgages, but the one that is the most widely used is the federally insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, HECM.
Who can qualify?
Homeowners who are 62 or older; even those with a poor credit rating can qualify.
What are the costs?
Most costs can be rolled into the loan. • Normal closing costs. • Adjustable interest rate. • FHA mortgage insurance premium. • Small monthly servicing fee.
What if my house needs repair?
Funds from the reverse mortgage can be withheld to make the repairs.
What if I decide to sell my house?
You can sell your home at any time. The loan is then repaid and you keep the remainder of the equity.
Does the lender get the house?
No, you (and your heirs) remain the owner of the house. When you are done with the house, you or your heirs can sell the house. The loan is repaid and the remainder of the money is yours or your heirs. If your heirs want to keep the house, they would need to get a regular mortgage and pay off the loan.
How can I withdraw my money?
Your age, your spouse’s age, (in couples it is based on the youngest person’s age) your home’s equity and the expected interest rate determine how much you can receive. The older you are the more money you can access.
You can select from several withdrawal plans and you can change the plan during the course of the loan. • A line of credit to use as you wish. • Monthly payment until you leave the home or for a specified amount of time. • A combination of a line of credit and monthly payout. • A lump sum.
Who determines the value of my house?
Who pays the taxes and insurance?
How is a “Reverse Mortgage” different from a “Home Equity Loan?”
Will this affect my taxes?
How much can I get?
An FHA appraiser determines the value of your house.
With a home equity loan the borrower must start to repay the loan immediately. With a reverse mortgage no payment is due until the owner leaves the home, sells the home, or transfers the title.
What types of property qualify? • Single family homes, PUDs (Planned Unit Developments). • Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes. • Farm houses. • Most condominiums. • Some manufactured homes.
What if I still owe on my house? You can still get a reverse mortgage if there is enough equity to pay off the existing mortgage. 26
Senior Housing Guide • www.seniorhousingguide.us
In most cases you pay taxes and insurance. No, it is a loan and the money is not taxed.
Are there any restrictions on how I spend my money?
There are no restrictions on how you spend your money. Some uses are: prescription drugs, pay back taxes, home improvement, pay off the house, making ends meet, take a vacation, purchase a car, or buy a vacation home.
Would I ever owe more than the house is worth? The loan is a non-recourse loan and you are only responsible for what the house sells for. Any loan amount greater than the sales price of the home does not have to be paid by your or your heirs.

Is A Reverse Mortgage Right For You??
When is the loan repaid?
The loan is repaid when the last homeowner leaves the house, sells the house or transfers the title of the house.
What if I am currently receiving public benefits? If you are receiving public benefits that are income based, such as energy assistance, you may still be eligible for a reverse mortgage.
Why do I need to see a RM counselor?
For consumer protection it is required that anyone getting a Reverse Mortgage see an approved counselor. In Minnesota it is a law that you have this counseling prior to receiving any reverse mortgage. If your house is in Minnesota, the counselor must be from a HUD approved
counseling agency located in Minnesota. During the session the counselor will go over the reverse mortgage step by step, suggest other programs that can help you stay in your home, and explain the process in general. You will learn about reverse mortgages, so you can make the best decision for yourself. The length of the session depends on your knowledge of the product. Attending the counseling session does not mean that you are getting a reverse mortgage; it simply means you are interested in learning more about the product.

Home Health Care… What is it?... Who is it for?...How is it paid for? These days, many seniors want to stay in their homes for as long as possible. Often the decision to remain at home is as much an emotional decision as financial one. Here are some important questions to ask if you’re evaluating whether or not it’s better to live out your days in your own home, or to relocate to a more traditional senior care setting: • What types of services are available to help me stay in my home? • Just what is “home care?” • What types of services are available to help me stay in my home? • What does home care cost, and who pays? • Why shouldn’t I hire my neighbor to take care of me/my loved one? • How do I find honest, reliable help and services that will help me to stay in my home?
than in a skilled nursing facility after a hospital stay.
What Types Of Services Are Available To Help Me Stay In My Home?
Unskilled Services
From house cleaning and lawn care to transportation, bill paying and errands, there are a variety of services available to help seniors who wish to maintain their homes and their lifestyles. However, helping seniors to maintain their health – from personal hygiene to medication, meals, and socialization – introduces in-home services at a far more personal level.
What Is Home Care?
Home health care or “home care” refers to any health care service, skilled or unskilled that is provided in one’s home. “Home care” can also mean that you are receiving rehabilitation and recovery services in your home rather

What Does Home Care Cost?
Home care rates can vary significantly between providers. Usually hourly rates fall somewhere between $25 per hour for unskilled services, up to $95 per hour for skilled care. Agencies don’t all charge the same rates for the same services. So it is a good idea to get several quotes and compare. However, hourly rates don’t tell the whole story. While some hourly rates may appear lower, the agency may have a minimum hourly requirement per day – so be sure to consider minimum hours when looking at rates.
Who Pays?
There are several ways to pay for home care. The one that offers you the most options is called Private Pay (this means you use your own money). When you are paying for services yourself, you get to choose exactly what you want to pay for, which agency you want to work with, and how many hours each week you want service. Private insurance. Some long-term care insurance policies cover home care. Your policy may or may not cover home health care; and there may be an eligibility requirement. Contact your insurance company’s benefits department to find out if you qualify, and just what your insurance will cover. Many policies pay for a care manager to coordinate your care. Medicare. If you are 65 or older, or if you have been determined by Medicare to be disabled, you are covered by Medicare and may be eligible for some home health care services to be paid by Medicare. You can find more information about your options at www.medicare.gov . Medicaid. You may be eligible for Medicaid, which covers a wider range of health care services than Medicare does. However, there are financial limitations to receiving Medicaid. You can apply online at www.dhs. state.mn.us. Or visit www.minnesotahelp.info. For more information about Medicaid call your local county human services office, call the State Department of Human Services at (651) 431-2000, or visit www.dhs.state.mn.us. Veteran’s assistance. Your local veterans center can 34
Senior Housing Guide • www.seniorhousingguide.us
help you determine whether you are eligible to receive home health care as a benefit to veterans. To find the closest VA center, or for other information, visit www. va.gov/healthbenefits or call (877) 222-VETS (8387).
Why Shouldn’t I Hire My Neighbor to Take Care Of Me?
Neighbors helping neighbors….hmmm… While there is certainly may be a trust factor to hiring someone you know to assist in your home, there are also potential problems worth your consideration. You are now their employer and will be responsible for filing the taxes and filling out the paperwork that goes along with being their employer. You will also be responsible if your friend/ neighbor injures him/ herself while taking care of you or your loved one. You might even find yourself in a lawsuit. And, what happens when your neighbor leaves town for a few days, or calls in sick? With a professional agency, there are policies, procedures and personnel in place to handle problems like these.
How Do I Find Honest, Reliable Help and Services That Will Help Me Stay in My Home?
There are many resources available to help you find the right home care – from websites like www.mnhomecare.org and www.minnesotahelp.info (for lists of available agencies offering home care services), to www.medicare.gov/homehealthcompare (where you can read up on the quality of care these agencies provide). Your doctor might also have a recommendation for you. Once you’ve found an agency you want to work with, ask questions. Find out about the experience level of the people you will be working with – after all, you are inviting these folks into your home. Any reputable firm will expect you to be curious about the people who will be caring for you, and will be happy to answer your questions. Most importantly, make sure that you/your loved one feel(s) comfortable and safe with the person who will be providing care. Ask for references and check them! Make sure any prospective caregiver is thoroughly screened--- including a criminal background check. If you don’t have the time to do all the research yourself, one of the best and most convenient ways to find a reliable home health care agency, as well as other service providers, is through a care management coordinator. A service like Fairview Care Management helps when you’re facing a difficult decision about caring for yourself or someone Continued on page 73
Adult Day Centers Adult day centers provide care and services to people during the day. The care provided at the center is not on a 24-hour basis. Centers provide a variety of services such as health monitoring, rehabilitation, assistance

Hospice Care Hospice care is a package of services and programs provided to terminally ill persons and their caregivers. Hospices offer palliative care (services that do not cure illnesses, but produce the greatest degree of relief from the symptoms of a terminal illness) and supportive care. Services included are physical, psychological, spiritual and sociological care, and also bereavement— assistance to the family and caregivers after the death of the hospice patient. An interdisciplinary team of end-of-life specialists consisting of nurses, physicians, clergy/counselors, family caregivers and volunteers help provide care.
The left column gives the name of the Hospice provider and the right column lists payment options. Some Hospice providers care for people where they live while others require a move to the residence that provides the care, (Hospice Residences). Hospice providers who care for people where they reside will provide care wherever the person resides, which may be a single family detached home, a nursing home, an apartment, an assisted living residence and so on. For more information call Hospice Minnesota, 651-6590423.

Moving On
Why Am I Considering A Housing Change? As you age your needs change. The starter house that you bought when you were first married may have been traded in a few years later for a larger one as children arrived. And now the house that you raised your children in may seem too large. The family room that you added seems empty and there is no longer a need for four bedrooms. The upkeep is time-consuming, it is expensive to run, the basement location of the washer and dryer is difficult and you worry about the house when you travel. It may just no longer be the house for you.
Deciding
to
Is it time for you or one of your loved ones to move, in order to have a more rewarding or less worrisome life? This quick quiz can help you decide.
If
you answer “Yes” to five or more statements, you should:
– consider looking for housing that better fits your needs, or
– start exploring ways to modify your house or your activities and responsibilities to make your daily life more satisfying and secure.* * See “Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?” for tips on a source of financial assistance.
For all of these reasons – and more – we face decisions about our housing needs. These decisions are never easy and require consideration. Read this section on moving and assess your housing needs and wants. Ask yourself, “Why am I considering a housing change?” Even if you are not ready to make a move – know your housing options so later on if you do need to make a change, you can make an informed decision that is best for you.
Move...15 Factors 1. Stairs and other structural features make it difficult for me or my spouse to move around in the house, and I worry about falls. 2. My neighborhood doesn’t feel as safe as it used to feel. 3. The property values in my neighborhood have gone up so much that I worry about being able to pay my taxes. 4. I can’t maintain my house and my yard the way I would like to. 5. I have a hard time remembering to take all my medications. 6. If I couldn’t drive, I would not be able to get to the grocery store, to doctor’s appointments, to religious services, and important social events. 7. I sometimes forget to tend to daily tasks.
to
Consider
8. I’d like to travel, but I don’t, because I worry about my home. 9. My family and friends aren’t able to visit me or help me as much as they would like because we live too far apart. 10. I am not eating the way I should. 11. I worry a lot about the future. 12. I would like someone else to tend to housekeeping, cooking meals, and untangling things like monthly bills, health insurance, and other paperwork. 13. It is becoming a struggle to care for myself or my spouse in our current home. 14. Now that being near work and schools aren’t major considerations, I’d like to be closer to the people and places that play significant roles in my current life. 15. I would like to meet people I have things in common with.

Back To Basics:
Practical and (Mostly) Painless Tips on Ways to Pare Down Your Possessions You don’t have to know where you are moving or when in order to tackle one of the toughest parts of changing homes…eliminating the excess in your life. You can save pain and strain by downsizing. You’ll have fewer things to pack and move and an uncluttered home that is more attractive to buyers.
‘Tis A Gift to be Simple, ‘Tis a Gift to be Free
Most of us have too much stuff: everything from clothes to collectibles, hobby materials, things we’re storing for our children, and things we’ve been meaning to fix. If a move is in your future, start dealing with these surpluses now. Here’s how. Start simply. Tackle some of those dusty boxes in the basement or attic or the closet in the guest bedroom. Give yourself 15 minutes per box (take a timer, so you don’t get lost on memory lane), and create four piles: • things to keep and use, • things to give to family members or others, • things to sell, and • things to throw away. Assign colors to the various categories (e.g., red = stays, green = goes, gold = sell, black = toss) and stick on matching labels. • Get rid of things that you haven’t used in more than a year: clothes that don’t fit or are out of style, camping equipment, excess kitchen gear, spare parts and gadgets from the garage and shop, baby stuff. • Toss things that are broken or unsafe: old holiday lights, that waffle maker with the frayed cord, the wobbly playpen. • Distribute keepsakes. Give your children things you’ve been saving for them. See if those to whom you intend to leave artwork and furniture can accommodate it in their homes now.

Memories and Keepsakes, Yours and Theirs
Does that mean that you should chuck everything that isn’t purely practical? Not at all. But keep only things that are truly essential. If the hippo paperweight your daughter made in third grade makes a place feel like home to you, then hold on to it. One man’s treasure is another man’s trash, as they say, and vice versa. This also applies to things you want to pass on to others. While you may expect that family members will admire your china or clock collection, what they may truly treasure is that battered red sled, piles of old comic books, or the family cookie jar. So check before you toss out things that may have sentimental value. Set a deadline by which things have to be taken away, though, or they may never leave. By the way, if you haven’t done so already, this is a good time to record who will receive which heirlooms. (If you don’t have preferences, do what some have done. At the next family gathering have people draw straws and take turns choosing items that are important to them.) Label objects with the names of who will inherit them, make a comprehensive written list of these bequests, and include it in your will or living trust. This is also a good time to capture the history connected with keepsakes. On separate sheets of paper, identify who is pictured in family photos and what the occasions are. Carefully tape the identifications to the backs of the images. Tie tags on objects (“Lena Olson Swenson’s washboard,” “the cradle my grandfather made”). Having a hard time letting go of something? Consider taking a photo of it to preserve the memory. When time allows, write down its story.
A Place for Everything
There are lots of options for things that you decide not to keep. You can give them away, you can sell them yourself, or you can contract with others to sell them for you. Charitable organizations are excellent destinations for goods that have service left in them. Call ahead of time to find out which items they accept and whether they have pick-up services. Get a receipt for tax purposes. Donate photos and other memorabilia to city and state historical societies and college and corporate archives. Take books and board games to hospitals, youth centers, and family shelters. Recycle magazines and newspapers. Take old motor oil, paint, and other
hazardous materials to the local waste disposal center. Sell items yourself via garage sales, classified ads, flea markets, swap meets, or online auctions such as eBay if you have the time, energy, and know-how. Or turn to others for those services. There are a wide variety of estate sale experts to consignment shops that sell items in their stores or on the Internet. Look in your local phone directory under ESTATES, CONSIGNMENT SERVICES, and THRIFT SHOPS. Remember: You’re not just moving to a new location, you’re moving to a new stage of life. The less you take with you, the less you’ll have to worry about and take care of. And the more time and energy you’ll have for other interests and activities.

Seven Steps
Well Begun Is Half Done Seven to nine
weeks before you plan to move: • Using a measured floor plan, determine which furniture you’ll take to your new home and where it will be placed. If you are downsizing think about using furniture that has a dual purpose, for example a coffee table that has storage capacity. • Ask movers for estimates (in writing). Ask about insurance and delivery time, as well as what items they can’t transport. • Moving yourself can be cheaper, but hiring a packing, moving company lightens the burdens considerably. Senior move firms like Rose’s Daughters, Senior Moves, or Twin Cities Senior Relocation Specialists can orchestrate the entire move or do part of it. They will even unpack and arrange your belongings the way you want, making sure lamps are plugged in, computers are hooked up and remote controls are programmed before they leave. Ask for a free consultation. • Identify items that can be sold, given away, or thrown out. • Open a bank account in your new locale. • Request copies of your medical records, one for you and one each to be sent to your new physician, eye doctor, and dentist. • Start using up things that can’t be moved; frozen foods and housekeeping supplies. 44

to a
Saner Move
On Your Mark
Four to seven weeks before your move: • Notify the post office and friends, relatives, and businesses about your change of address. Notify magazines that you subscribe to of your change of address. • Contact phone, gas, electric, cable, internet providers, and newspapers and arrange for services to be terminated. • Arrange for similar services at your new place. • Pick up dry cleaning, items being repaired or stored, things lent to others, your locker at the gym or golf club. • Sell unneeded items at a garage sale or donate them to charities. Arrange for friends and family to pick up things that you will be giving them. Remember if you are moving into a place that has dining, you will want to downsize your kitchen. You may want to eliminate large baking dishes and extra sets of dishes and utensils, but keep your favorite cookbook.
Senior Housing Guide • www.seniorhousingguide.us
3.
Getting Set
Four to three weeks before you leave: • Have your car serviced for the upcoming trip. • Take pets to the vet for needed shots; get inoculation records. • Get refills for your medications – and arrange for prescriptions to be transferred to your new pharmacy. • Return library books and other things that you have borrowed. • Host a party that allows you to visit with people you won’t be seeing for a while. If you feel that the party would create more work for you, you may want to host the party at a restaurant.
4.
The Countdown
Two weeks before the movers arrive: • Use quality supplies and get them in advance; packing tape, boxes, bubble wrap, etc. • Label your belongings with colored stickers indicating which room they will be moved into. • Start assembling your Survival Kit (see #6). • Consider which items should be loaded last and unloaded first (kitchen and dining items, sheets and towels that will be needed immediately). • Complete mail forwarding packet from post office prior to move.
5.
P & D Day
That’s Packing and Departure Day • Secure pets so they don’t get loose, get injured, or nip or scratch movers. • Mark boxes clearly, noting the rooms they should be moved into and their contents. • When furniture is disassembled, collect the hardware in plastic bags, label them, and make sure they are packed with the furniture or put into your Survival Kit. Write down or photograph how things should be reassembled and what tools are needed. • Check behind doors and in drawers, cabinets, and the rafters for overlooked items. • Your movers will probably inventory the boxes; if not, before they are loaded number them and label each one with your name and destination address.
6.
Surviving Until Your Things Arrive
If you are moving a distance and having your things moved by van, it can take days or weeks for a moving van to arrive. If you bring these items with you, you’ll have what you need until the rest of your belongings are delivered: • Essential items – Checkbook, credit/ATM cards, travelers checks, keys for luggage and vehicles, new housing, important papers (will, power of attorney, vehicle titles, proofs of insurance, prescriptions, AND mortgage or lease for new housing, moving agreement, inventory, contact information for building management and moving company), driving directions, area map, toiletries, prescription medications, vitamins, painkillers, old phone directories, alarm clock, flashlight, nightlight, extension cord, sleepwear, changes of clothing, coffee, coffee pot, tea bags, creamer, sweetener; pet food, bedding, cat litter, cell phone. • Really useful items – mediumsized pot, toaster, one place setting per person, can opener, cutting knife, salt, pepper, sugar, other seasonings; storage bags, dish soap, towels, toilet paper, facial tissue; hammer, nails, picture hangers, pliers, screwdrivers, measuring tape, duct tape; pens, paper, envelopes. • Wise to transport yourself – family pets, keepsake jewelry, address book, family medical and dental records, tax records (pack or mail copies); laptop Continued on page 46

Is your cable service hooked up? • Be present when your belongings are unloaded or have a representative there to accept delivery, check that all your boxes have been delivered and in good condition. • Make sure boxes are placed in the correct rooms and that their labels are all facing the same direction and can be clearly seen. • Set up the essential areas, the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom. Take the rest of your unpacking one box at a time, especially if you are physically or emotionally stressed. You don’t have to be organized in a day.

About the Listings and Services
About the Housing Listings
• Ownership and Rentals • Market Rate and Subsidized Housing Options • • Independent and Assisted Living/Housing with Services •
When you read the housing listings, keep in mind properties change their rates at different times of the year. So the information that was current at printing may not be current a month later.
Keep in mind too, that this is meant only to be a GUIDE. We cannot include every detail, but have tried to give you enough information so you can narrow your search and start the elimination process.
About the Services
• Dining • Housekeeping • Laundry/Linen • • Personal Care • Van Transportation •
In independent living, you typically rent the apartment; your monthly rent is for the space you will occupy. In housing that contains services, the services are sometimes included in the rent or there is a “service package” that you can purchase. Sometimes there may be several “service packages” and you can find one that is most appropriate for you.
Remember to Ask Questions, Such as...
• How many meals per day are included? Are meals served 5 or 7 days a week? • How much housekeeping is included? And what does housekeeping include; dusting, floor mopping, cleaning the bathroom, etc. Does housekeeping mean once a month or once a week? • How much personal care is included? Can I purchase additional care if I need it and what will it cost?
Feel like you are moving the world? Lighten your load...
• Does laundry/linen mean all my laundry or 2 loads per week? Will they only do linens? • “Van transportation” in the listing means transportation to scheduled events. What if I need transportation to a doctor’s appointment? Will they help me arrange the transportation?
If you are thinking about making a housing change, do your homework and be an informed consumer. Ask questions, visit residences more than once, attend open houses, ask for literature and go online to view residences’ websites. If you are helping a loved one, try to involve them as much as possible. The more they are involved in the search, the happier they will be with their new home. Remember, the more questions you ask, the better informed you will be and the better housing choice you can make!!!

Ownership CONDOMINIUMS • TOWNHOMES • COOPERATIVES
Condominium and Townhome Ownership
In condominium and townhome ownership residents hold the title to the unit in which they live, but common property such as halls, club house, parking garage, etc., is held jointly by all residents. A major difference between townhome and condominium ownership is that townhome residents own the land their unit occupies and condominium owners do not. Condominium residents own the land jointly. For both condominium and townhome owners, mortgages and taxes are the same as for any owned home, and fees are collected to cover the costs associated with the common areas. A reverse mortgage can be obtained on most condominiums and townhomes which can be useful if there is a substantial assessment. There is generally an elected Board of Directors that makes decisions for the group of owners.
Cooperative Housing
A corporation, composed of residents, owns and operates the property and residents purchase shares in the corporation in order to live there. Members sign an occupancy agreement in which they agree to pay a one-time membership fee as well as their portion of the mortgage and maintenance costs. “Limited equity” coops are those that allow the seller to realize only a certain amount of gain or profit when the unit is resold. Because the living space is not owned outright, there may be certain conditions in selling one’s membership and equity; these are explained at the time of purchase.
If you are thinking about a cooperative make sure you ask: • What is the share price? • Where can I obtain loan financing? • What does “limited equity” mean? • How much are the monthly carrying charges? • What is the underlying mortgage? • Are there resale restrictions?
Architectural Styles, Services and Amenities
Typically condominiums and cooperatives are much like an apartment, but they can vary in their architectural form. Townhomes or row houses usually have their own entrance and may be one or more stories tall with or without a basement. All three types may offer a few services, such as dining, but are usually designed for independent living. However, someone could arrange for services to be brought in. Because this type of housing appeals to active adults, many properties of this type have included amenities such as a clubhouse, pool and business center.
Questions for potential owners: • What is the subletting policy? • What is the pet policy? • Can I obtain a reverse mortgage on my property? • Can I make alterations to my unit? • Is the building managed by a professional management company or do residents take care of the building themselves? • What about long-range planning? • How much money do they have in reserves? • What kind of assessments have they had or are they planning? • How much have the maintenance dues gone up in the past few years? • Check out the dues: Do they seem low & what do they cover? • Can I have a copy of the bylaws?

Some complexes offer dens, which are windowless rooms, but are usually fairly good sized and can be used for a variety of purposes. Most condominium and cooperative buildings have 1 entry into the entire complex, while townhomes usually have 1 entrance that leads directly into the individual unit. Townhouse complexes are listed as townhomes. 4. Price range: the lowest and highest prices a unit sold for; sometimes cooperatives report their prices as a “Share Value” and you may need to purchase multiple shares. The term “Prices Vary” means the units sell for various prices based on amenities, square footage, view, etc. Some properties simply prefer you call for prices. Some cooperatives are “Limited Equity” coops which means at the time of sale, the seller receives a limited amount of equity. 5. Monthly dues: condominium and townhome owners pay a monthly fee for upkeep of common areas: halls, pool, parking lot, etc. For cooperative owners the monthly dues pay for upkeep of common areas and their share of the mortgage and carrying charges. Monthly dues are usually based on the size of the unit; the larger the size the higher the dues. 52
Senior Housing Guide • www.seniorhousingguide.us
Property Taxes – Typically condominium and townhome owners are responsible for their own property taxes while cooperative owners pay their taxes as part of their monthly dues. Be sure to inquire about taxes. Age to Reside – The usual age to live in this type of housing is typically 55 and older. If a couple is married, usually only 1 person has to be the required age.

Market Rate Rentals: Independent Living With 0 to 1-2 Services APARTMENTS • TOWNHOMES RENTALS WITH INCOME GUIDELINES • RENTALS WITH ENTRANCE FEES “Market rate” means a housing unit is paid for by rent, in the same way as any apartment. A lease is signed that states the monthly rent for a period of time and at the end of the lease the landlord can increase the rent. Apartment sizes can vary greatly. Studio and efficiencies are available to 1, 2, and 3+ bedroom apartments with one or more bathrooms. Complexes may offer several different versions of an apartment and costs can vary by adding a bathroom, sunroom, square footage, view, and etc. Costs can also be affected by the addition of services, such as housekeeping and meals. Typically, apartment complexes are low-rise or high-rise apartment buildings, but some units are available that are townhouses, where each unit has its own entrance.
Options
Rentals with Income Guidelines
Some developments may have all or a percentage of the units set aside for moderate-income residents as part of government financial help for the original development. These apartments are below market rate and renters pay a set amount for their monthly rent.
Rentals with Entrance Fees
In some types of residences, there may be an entrance fee. This fee helps bring down the monthly rental fee and is sometimes refundable or partially refundable.

Care Suites: A New Model
of
Care
Continued from page 14
How Long Can You Stay in a Care Suite?
Care Suites are ideal for short or for long stays. Care Suites have no maximum time limit. However, some Care Suites may have a minimum time you are required to stay – usually one week. Each program is unique.
Who Should Stay in a Care Suite?
Care Suites are an excellent choice for people who have higher or more complex levels of care needs, but want to remain in a more homelike setting. Care Suites are also great for those recovering from surgery or illness. They are an excellent choice for people who no longer qualify for a Medicare paid stay in a hospital or nursing facility, but who still need assistance. Ebenezer has introduced Care Suites into many of their senior living communities with great success. In Burnsville, Arbors Assisted Living on the Ebenezer Ridges Campus has six care suites. “Families really appreciate the level of services we can provide in our comfortable care suites,” said Brittany Peterson, Arbors Housing Manager. “We’ve had people stay in our Care Suites to recover post surgery after their Medicare paid stay in the hospital and nursing was over. Others have stayed here in our Care Suites after they’ve had surgery when there was no one at home to take care of them. We work very closely with our residents and their families to make sure that we are providing the level of care that is
(more) Continued from page 34
appropriate for our Care Suite residents.” In Edina, York Gardens Care Suites are helping families in a similar way. With Fairview Southdale Hospital nearby, the Care Suites at York Gardens have served as a short-term post surgical option for many seniors. As a long-term solution, York Gardens Care Suites have allowed spouses to stay together when they have differing levels of care. “If one spouse needs a very high level of care, and the other is pretty independent, there are many reasons that they may not have been able to stay in the same apartment (elsewhere),” says Shannon Krogh, Outreach and Sales Director at York Gardens, “Our Care Suites let them remain together in their own apartment home.”
How Do Care Suites Work?
Care Suites are assisted living communities that share the same admissions policies (and much of the same paper work). The nursing staff evaluates each potential Care Suite client to make sure that the Care Suite can adequately provide for their medical needs. The community’s Registered Nurse creates an individualized package to meet a schedule of needs based on the physician’s orders, therapies and medications. Finally, the resident can move in for days, weeks, months or even years. This personalized care is designed to help residents expand their choices while getting the care they want and need – wherever that may be!

Care managers can provide names of contacts at these facilities.
Your care manager will assess the quality of the agencies and facilities before making a recommendation. In addition, they will help you with paperwork (medical, financial and insurance forms and applications), set up appointments, and follow-up with you to make sure things are going well. Note: Care managers are usually paid by the hour. Sometimes your insurance company will pay this cost. For additional information on Fairview Care Management and Coordination Services, e-mail caremanagement@fairview.org or call 612-728-4338.

Market Rate Rentals: Independent Living Housing With 3+ Services APARTMENTS • TOWNHOMES • CAMPUS STYLE COMMUNITIES This section explains market rate rental housing that offers supportive services. Rental housing that offers services is similar to other market rate rentals where you pay a monthly fee to occupy a space and there is usually a lease and deposit required. Read more about market rate rentals in the previous section. Rentals that offer services may include the cost for services in the rent or they may be purchased a-la-carte. So, if you are a person that likes to winter in Arizona, you may want to consider how the services are paid for; in the rent or separately. You may also be able to purchase a package of services and they may have different packages available, so you
can choose the one that best suits your needs. In terms of services, apartment complexes can vary greatly; they can offer a couple of services or all of them. Some residences offer a full array of services which includes a “continuum of care.” This type of housing may be a “campus style” setting with assisted living and memory care nearby, but in separate buildings. It may also be a mix of independent and assisted living apartments in the same building or in separate wings of the building. More detailed information about “Assisted Living” is included in the Guide in a separate section.

Subsidized Rentals APARTMENTS • TOWNHOMES It can take time to qualify for and find housing that is affordable. But the result can be worth the effort. The options range from private and public housing that is designated for seniors to vouchers that you can use in a variety of locations. Rents in these facilites vary according to ability to pay, based on gross income, (before taxes or Medicare deductions), and assets. Assets include income from Social Security, wages, pensions, welfare, etc., and interest or dividends from IRAs, Certificates of Deposit, stocks, and bonds. With assets such as stocks and bonds, only the interest from the asset is counted as income. Assets such as cars and clothing are not counted.
Types of Subsidies
Subsidies for apartments vary, but the most common subsidy requires the renter pay 30% of their gross income for rent. Another subsidy has a rent range, meaning there are lower and upper limits to how much rent you are required to pay based on your income.
Privately Owned Subsidized Housing Privately owned subsidized housing has many different managers and landlords. Typically, buildings are three stories or less and located in the suburbs. You apply to the building of your choice and you can be on several waiting lists at once. Income eligibility varies from county to county. Contact your local Housing Redevelopment Authority (HRA) for income eligibility; phone numbers are listed in this section.
Public Housing
These apartments are publicly owned and operated by the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and the St. Paul Public Housing Agency. Some buildings are
110

a mix of people, while others are designated for older adults. Usually the buildings are highrises located in the city near bus lines, clinics, and shops. Income guidelines are given at the end of this section.
Supportive Services
Services can be provided on-site and include help with housekeeping, laundry, and meals. Personal assistance with grooming, dressing, and bathing is also available. Payment for services is on a sliding-fee scale.
Amenities and Services
Amenities differ from building to building, but most buidings have community and laundry rooms and elevators. Some subsidized buildings also have services available. Wheelchair-accessible apartments are available.
Housing Choice Vouchers
Housing choice vouchers help low-income people pay for housing in the private market. Tenants must find their own apartments. They pay a portion of the rent and the government pays the remainder. Subsidies that are tenant-based stay with the person. Even if you move you can usually keep your subsidy. The process of getting a voucher can be lengthy; waiting time can be one to two years and once you obtain a voucher you still have to apply to a property in order to live there. Visit the Housing Link website, www.housinglink.org, to find landlords who wish to participate in this program. To apply for a voucher, call the Housing Redevelopment Authorities, phone numbers on the next page.

Assisted Living MARKET RATE RENTAL APARTMENTS WITH SUPPORTIVE SERVICES There are many terms that describe the combination of housing and services which can vary from state to state. In Minnesota, “Housing with Services” typically means that some or all of the following services are available to some extent: dining, housekeeping, laundry and personal care. “Assisted Living” residences have the same services, but in order to be considered “Assisted Living” the services have minimum requirements: 2 meals daily, daily check system, weekly housekeeping and laundry service, assistance with 3 or more of the activities of daily living (dressing, grooming, bathing, eating, transferring, continence care and toileting), and assistance in arranging transportation, and accessing community and social resources. Additionally health related services must include assistance with self-administration of medication or administration of medication, supervised by a Registered Nurse. Assisted Living residences must also have staff available who can respond 24/7 to requests for assistance with health or safety needs.* These types of residences range from cozy single family homes with a few, 5 to 10 residents; (see also the section on Residential Care Homes) to larger complexes that have 100 plus residents. They may be stand alone or part of a campus offering a continuum of care. Some costs are basic, but they also depend on the level of care and as a person’s needs change, so can the level of care. Services are paid by the resident, either separately or as a part of the rent. In some circumstances Alternative Care (AC) or Elderly Waivers (EW) may cover some or all of the costs. An excellent consumer checklist for assisted living can be found on the Assisted Living Federation of America’s website www.alfa.org. * Some settings that have 12 or fewer residents may qualify for an exemption permitting them to use staff who are allowed to sleep, but can be awakened in order to respond to health or safety needs.

Memory Care DEMENTIA & ALZHEIMER’S RESIDENCES A growing number of residences specialize in care for people with Alzheimer’s and related symptoms of dementia. Some are stand alone facilities that are “Dementia Only,” while others are a specialized unit in a nursing home or an assisted living facility. Another type of residence for people with memory care needs is Residential Care Homes. Read about them in the section, “Residential Care Homes.” Twenty-four hour supervision is required along with security systems to safeguard residents. Residents may have shared or private rooms or small apartments. Some costs are basic, but they also depend on the level of care a person needs. Residences may have specialized building features that help minimize confusion and agitation; secured wandering paths, color-coded hallways, visual cues. Professionally run communities provide ways to help build self-esteem, preserve dignity, nurture independence, and remind residents of a happy time and place. Often, repeated basic skills and familiar tasks or routines help stimulate the mind and keep residents from feeling isolated or confused. Of course nothing can compare to the attention of family and friends and many communities are extending visiting times and are providing private gathering places for people within the residence.
The Listings for Memory Care:

Residential Care Homes GENERAL CARE & MEMORY CARE Residential Care Homes offer the opportunity to receive the assistance you need in an intimate home setting – in a real house located in a residential neighborhood. They offer professional services with a high ratio of staff available to assist as needed. These services range from very basic assistance or reminders, to memory care and complex service needs. The small setting offers the opportunity for individualized care which caters to unique needs and preferences. Most operate with a philosophy of care that allows “aging in place,” with more intensive services available as care needs progress. These homes offer a “hands-on management” approach. Most have owners available on site. They are licensed in a variety of ways, all of which involve regulation and inspection by state, county and/or local agencies. The intimate, family feel of these homes make them an excellent choice for memory care, with natural comfort stemming from the home environment. You can visit many residential care homes at www.residentialcare-mn.org.
