What Are Elder Law and Special Needs Planning?

Elder law and special needs planning involve preparing for expected and unexpected life circumstances, including the possibility of becoming incapacitated as well as protecting and providing for future needs of loved ones with disabilities.

At its core, Elder Law focuses on the unique needs of older persons and practice areas that address issues of concern for aging adults, adults with disabilities/incapacity, their families and caregivers. Unlike traditional estate planning, Elder Law begins by assisting you with issues associated with a long and healthy life, rather than simply planning for death. It mixes legal and practical issues such as being able to continue residing in your home if you have a chronic condition, having someone help in managing your finances, and not becoming a victim of financial abuse in the process.

Elder law endeavors to help you solve the problem of not knowing what you don’t know.

Special Needs Law focuses on solving legal problems for individuals with special needs and their caregivers. Although there is no uniform definition of “special needs,” the phrase describes individuals with a wide variety of physical or mental conditions who require assistance with personal care needs, activities of daily living, paying bills, managing finances, etc. These individuals

may be vulnerable to and need protection from exploitation or abuse, as well as access to public benefits or any number of other types of assistance. Frequently, parents and grandparents are concerned about how their children and grandchildren will be cared for upon the death of parents or grandparents and want to plan in advance to protect their special needs loved one.

Elder Law and Special Needs Planning encompass many different fields of law, including, for example: isability planning, durable powers D of attorney, living trusts, advance directives, other tools to delegate management and decision-making to another in case of incompetency or incapacity n Estate planning, including the management of finances and assets during life and disposition on death using trusts, wills, and other instruments n Special/Supplemental Needs Trusts n Conservatorships and guardianships n Long-term care planning and placements n Trust and probate/estate administration n Elder abuse and financial exploitation n Medicaid planning n Retirement and Social Security planning n

We are excited to introduce Sage Health, a totally new experience in healthcare for seniors.

Michael Davidson Chief Medical Officer

We believe passionately that Seniors deserve a wise, holistic care model that promotes health, wellness, and community, and that’s exactly what Sage Health delivers. Our primary care providers want to restore the traditional role of the doctor as the trusted point of contact for patients, their families, and the healthcare system.

Today’s healthcare system is complex, fragmented and difficult to navigate.

We have designed a care model to address these concerns and make things easier for patients and families.

Our providers have a maximum of only 400 patients each, allowing more time for each patient. These providers quarterback your care and work with a dedicated team of professionals who put you—the patient—at the center of every conversation. We provide a concierge experience in our beautiful neighborhood centers through your Medicare Advantage plan, without all the extra fees.

For your convenience, Sage Health offers same-day appointments, telehealth, and home visits. We provide Uber/Lyft transportation if necessary to ensure you receive the care you need,

as well as fitness and cooking classes right in our centers. You’ll even have the cell phone number of your provider and a direct line to your Patient Experience Associate, so you never have to face a health care challenge alone.

Our providers are accessible and engaged and offer longer appointment times to focus on you during visits to make sure that you are heard, and your concerns addressed. We work to understand not only your medical needs, but your social, environmental, housing, and economic circumstances to build a comprehensive supportive care plan that optimizes your health and quality of life.

Our model emphasizes preventive, whole-person care, not merely reactive care. Moreover, our robust team works to coordinate your journey through the health care maze, from home to center, to specialist or hospital if needed, back to home. With Sage Health, you always have a trusted, authentic partner on your journey to good health.

Basics of Reverse Home Mortgage A reverse home mortgage is a type of loan that allows homeowners to access a portion of their home equity without having to sell their home or make monthly mortgage payments.

Unlike a traditional mortgage, the loan balance of a reverse mortgage increases over time and is typically only repaid when the homeowner sells the home or passes away.

Differences from Traditional Mortgage n R everse mortgages do not require monthly mortgage payments unlike traditional mortgages. n T he loan balance of a reverse mortgage increases over time, while a traditional loan mortgage decreases. n R everse mortgages are typically only repaid when the homeowner sells the home or passes away, while traditional mortgages are repaid over a set term.

A Financial Solution for Seniors S eniors can access equity in their homes without selling or relinquishing ownership. n R everse mortgages can supplement retirement income by providing a steady stream of funds that can be used for living expenses and medical needs. n I t allows Seniors to enjoy their retirement years having peace of mind knowing they have a reliable source of income. n I t provides a great way to pass on wealth to heirs. When the house n

50 ALABAMA GULF COAST – FALL 2023 – WINTER 2024

is sold, the loan is paid off with remaining equity going to the heirs.

Recent Clients A retired couple in their late 60s, John and Susan struggled to make ends meet on a fixed income. They had significant equity in their home but were hesitant to sell or downsize due to the current state market value.

They chose a reverse mortgage.

T he reverse mortgage allowed them access to their home’s equity and provided funds to pay off their existing mortgage as well as cover their increased living expenses. n h ey were able to stay in their home and maintain their quality of life without worrying about monthly mortgage payments. n

A retired widow in his late 70s, James wanted to stay in his home as long as possible. His home was mortgage free. He intends to bequeath the home to his two children.

T he reverse mortgage allowed him to access his home’s equity and use the funds to make the modifications necessary to continue staying in the home unassisted without feeling the need to ask his children who live out of state. n I t allows him the ability to have additional funds to hire an inhome care giver if needed. ~ n

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope.

Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

24/7 ADMISSIONS – If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice, 24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays.

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction

humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Many provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting.

IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting.

PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump.

If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency.

illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care.

Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria.

PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged

creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness.

This service is not reimbursed by Medicare.

VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~ Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 103 TRACH CARE – Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy.

A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions.

VENTILATOR - Moves breatheable air into and out of the lungs, to provide the mechanism of breath-

ing for a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or is breathing insufficiently.

WANDERGUARD - Offered at some facilities. A resident with memory loss or confusion wears a small discrete pendant. Each external door in the care home is fitted with a radio detector which detects when a pendant moves near an exit. The WanderGuard will sound an audible alarm, alerting the staff of a patient wandering. ~

quieter and lonely as the years go by.

One way to combat this life change is by owning a pet. The health benefits of owning a pet for seniors far outweigh the work that goes into owning one.

Our furry, feathery, or even scaly family members can provide a variety of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. The bond between seniors and their pets goes far beyond mere companionship. Here are some of the top health benefits of owning a pet for seniors

ing a pet, particularly an active dog, is that it forces you to be physical.

Dogs need to be walked, which in turn encourages regular physical activity on your part. Seniors with dogs are more likely to go for daily walks or play with them in the yard. Even this little bit of physical activity helps maintain mobility, joint flexibility, and cardiovascular health. In addition, physical activity of any kind leads to a stronger immune system and a reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

Reduces Loneliness and Isolation As they get older, many seniors experience feelings of social isolation and loneliness. This can lead to depression and other significant health problems. Having a pet, whether it’s a dog, cat, or even a bird, provides companionship and helps to reduce these feelings of isolation. Pets are loyal and loving, offering unconditional affection that can significantly improve your mental and emotional well-being.

Lowers Stress and Anxiety Simply looking at a picture of a little puppy or kitten is almost guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Studies show that petting a dog or cat can trigger the release of the mood-regulating hormone serotonin.

It also increases the “feel good” hormone dopamine while decreasing the level of the stress hormone cortisol. This fluctuation helps to reduce stress and anxiety levels.

Additionally, a pet’s rhythmic, soothing presence can help lower blood

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

The “Pawsitive Health Benefits of Owning a Pet continued pressure, contributing to overall cardiovascular health.

Boosts Mental Alertness Interacting with pets can stimulate mental alertness and cognitive function. While training your pet and teaching them tricks helps to boost their mental capacity, it also helps to maintain your mental acuity. This mental stimulation can delay the onset of cognitive decline and reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

when they are out on walks or at pet-friendly facilities. This can give you an opportunity to connect with others and strike up a conversation.

Reduces the Risk Of Allergies And Asthma Although it sounds like it would be the opposite, having a pet has been found to reduce the risk of developing allergies and asthma the older we get. This can be an added health benefit for seniors who have had pets throughout their lives.

Fosters a Sense of Purpose Most of us work hard and look forward to the day we can finally hang up our work boots and retire.

However, when that day finally comes, many seniors often experience a diminished sense of purpose. Owning a pet can give you back a sense of responsibility and purpose. Caring for a pet requires routine tasks like feeding, grooming, and exercise, providing structure to your days and a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Get Your “Purrfect” Companion Owning a pet can do wonders for your health and well-being.

These little bundles of joy enrich seniors’ lives in ways that extend far beyond companionship.

The emotional, physical, and mental health benefits of having a pet cannot be argued or overlooked. Seniors who share their lives with a furry friend often experience reduced stress, increased physical activity, enhanced emotional well-being, and a greater sense of purpose. ~

Enhances Social Connections A study has shown pet owners are more apt to meet their neighbors than non-pet owners. Pets make great icebreakers for seniors
