SENIOR HOUSING

First you should familiarize yourself with the many options available and determine which one is best for your needs. You will find definitions of each type of housing at the beginning of the housing section. Then turn to our easy to read comparison grids. The grids are divided into 3 categories, depending on the type of community: Independent Living and Retirement, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing. The buildings are listed by city or county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

What Is Shared Housing? Looking for affordable housing or have an extra room in your home? PLOWS Council on Aging, a non-profit senior agency, offers a unique housing option to seniors in towns within or near the suburban Cook County Townships of Palos, Lemont, Orland and Worth. Our Shared Housing program is a viable alternative to living alone and reduces living expenses for both providers and seekers. It can mean extra funds to participants who are willing to share a house, condominium or apartment. PLOWS provides guidance in developing an agreement between Providers & Seekers and facilitates follow-up visits and meetings. There are no fees for PLOWS service. Some benefits of Shared Housing are: Financial: Reduces housing costs and eliminates long waits for subsidized housing. Companionship: Reduces loneliness and feelings of isolation. Security: Reduces the fear and vulnerability of living alone. Independence: Older adults maintain their independence within their community. Adults of all ages can participate, but one person in each match must be at least 62 years old or have a disability. PLOWS confidentially

screens applicants, thoroughly checks references, and arranges a meeting with potential matches. There is never an obligation to enter into a shared living arrangement - the final decision is up to the individual. Shared housing is not designed to accommodate emergency housing, free caregiving, babysitting, housekeeping and transportation service. Participants must be self-sufficient. PLOWS Council on Aging serves individuals 60 years of age and older in Palos, Lemont, Orland & Worth Townships. PLOWS places special emphasis on helping maintain people in their homes and provides a number of services with that objective in mind. Our staff strive to assist older adults and their families with whatever concern may be paramount to them. For more information, call: PLOWS Council on Aging (708) 361-0219 7808 College Drive, 5th Floor Palos Heights, IL 60463 Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Elaine Grande. Elaine is a Program Manager and resident expert on housing and advocacy with PLOWS Council on Aging and may be reached at 708-361-0219 or by email at e.grande@plows.org.

Caregivers: Taking Care of Self is Job Number One As Caregivers we are often put into a position where we have to choose between what is good for ourselves, and what is good for our loved one or care partner. Placing someone else needs in front of our own might be difficult for some people to understand, but not for the caregiver! To be a healthy caregiver we have to learn how to live our life in the solutions of our caregiving experience, not the problems caregiving can create in our lives. By living a life focused on solutions, we live life with clarity, hope and love. Focusing solely on the problems of caregiving we live in fear, worry and despair. Here’s The Deal: Taking care of self is rule number one while in the midst of caregiving. Whether the words are spoken or not, you’re loved one understands the stress you are under and wants you to take care of yourself. When you get to the point where you are at least half as good at taking care of yourself as you are at taking care of your loved one, you be on the right track. But first and foremost you have to start by making a plan! Start by: Create A Care Team: While are su-

per hero’s, our caregiving capes are limited. Reach out to family members and friends who can play a role on the care team. Everyone brings different talents to the team, utilize them! Asking for help is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness! Set a Daily Intention for Yourself: Caregiving can be time consuming, especially if you’re balancing your career and raising children at the same time. Schedule something for yourself, every day, even if it is just five minutes of me time in a room alone. Have A Back-Up Plan: What if you get sick? See Create a Care Team Above. As Caregivers, we then to think that we are indestructible, but we are susceptible to illness too. Stress and fatigue will play havoc on all parts of your body, mind and spirit. I believe that there is no greater honor than to be entrusted with the care of another human being. I make no bones about it, caregiving is hard, but in the end, the good days will always outweigh the bad ones.

I believe that there is no greater honor than to be entrusted wit h the care of another human being.

Editor’s Note: Christopher MacLellan is the host of Healing Ties Podcast and the Author of What’s The Deal with Caregiving and a former family caregiver.

Age Safe® at Home You don’t have to be a Cubs fan to understand the value of being “safe at home.” According to the AARP nearly 90% of older adults want to age-inplace and maintain independence. But here’s the problem: 85% have done nothing to prepare their homes for aging. Approximately one-third of adults age 65 years or older fall each year; the majority of these falls occur in and around the home. Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries and fractures for older adults. Falls often result in seniors being institutionalized, losing their functional dependence, and/ or developing a paralyzing fear of falling. The good news is that Age Safe® America exists to help educate families and professionals on the serious issues of home safety, fall prevention, financial exploitation and personal safety. Many seniors who are still relatively active, lucid, and spry, tend to ignore the possibility that they could become a victim of an accident (at home, no less!). Family members tend to be more realistic about the need and benefits of accidentproofing a parent’s home. By having a caring and candid conversation about the likelihood of a fall, a son or daughter can demonstrate

their concern as well as help arrange a comprehensive home safety assessment. There is truly no better time than NOW to consider home safety initiatives. Safety is a perpetual challenge that needs periodic management because of the dynamic nature of the home environment – bulbs burn out, floor spills happen, throw rugs become disheveled, etc. The elimination of identifiable threats is relatively inexpensive. Solutions range from grab bars to non-slip surfaces, from motion detector lights to fire escape ladders, from security systems to monitoring devices and personal emergency response systems, and from easyentry bathtubs to temporary ramps or simple threshold entry mats. The seniors in our community deserve to enjoy their golden years by safely aging-in-place, in their own homes. Risk reduction can keep them safe while delivering on their desire for independence. Editor’s Note: Article by John Burke, Senior Home Safety Specialist, contractor and Age Safe® America Advisor Member. To learn more about Senior Home Safety visit: www.AgeSafeAmerica.com

Aging in the Right Place is All About Choice As a downsizing coach, I have the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families throughout the relocation process. I often ‘geek out’ reading the hundreds of studies and articles dedicated to the topic of latelife moves and what makes them successful or stressful. And as a veteran real estate broker, I frequently witness both the joy and heartache that comes with letting go of a long-time family home. In today’s article, I am going to share a few the things I have learned along the way as it relates to postretirement relocation. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that at least 1 in 4 home sellers is over the age of 65. This number is projected to increase in the coming years because, let’s face it, none of us are getting any younger. Each day, after decades of living in the same home, retirees begin to sort through generations of personal belongings, make decisions about what to take and what to leave behind, and pack up and move to new residences better suited for their current phase of life. But why? Why do certain people after having lived in the same home for many years — even decades — make such a seemingly drastic change? Here are some empirically-based answers to

that exact question. Research shows that late-life moves can be categorized into three types: 1) Amenity-based 2) Anticipatory 3) Needs-driven Here’s what we know about each of the three types: 1) Amenity-based moves Active adult retirees and baby boomers with financial means have plenty of housing options available. From luxury 55+ apartment complexes and maintenance free communities to resort properties, amenity-seeking seniors are often looking to upgrade their current homes. This might mean buying new or building their custom dream home. It may also involve moving to a gated community or condo complex with intent to ‘lock it and leave it’ when traveling. Some may even choose multiple homes in other states, moving from one location to another from season to season. Amenity-based movers are active, fun- and relationship-seeking, and looking ahead. 2) Anticipatory moves Those age 62 and older have more options than ever before in history when it comes to purposebuilt accommodations. Apartment and cottage-style communities are designed to help senior adults remain active, independent, and autonomous into their later years.

Providing extra support with things like housekeeping, prepared meals, and transportation, they also boast calendars offering both onand off-site entertainment, fitness classes, and education programs. Moving to these communities means planning ahead so support is available if or when they may need it. Studies show that people choosing to relocate to independent retirement communities, while still relatively healthy, actually have fewer health challenges and enjoy a higher quality of life than those of similar age who remain in private residential neighborhoods. This may be the result of being in an environment where residents have access to healthy meals, engage in regular social interaction, are encouraged to participate in physical fitness programs, and experience peace-of-mind from knowing they aren’t alone should they become ill or fall. 3) Needs-based moves Unlike the two other types of moves, needs-based moves are usually involuntary. In other words, the person was told they ‘had to move’ or they perceived they had little choice in the matter. Relocations of this type are often precipitated by a fall or result from functional challenges associated with chronic illness or cognitive decline. When moving out of

necessity, housing options become more limited. Needs-based moves are often made directly from the hospital to a long term care facility or assisted living. The hardest kind of move one can make, these are usually the result of an ‘I’m not ready yet’ mentality or lack of financial means to otherwise have proactively relocated. Involuntary moves have been shown in numerous studies to correlate with higher levels of depression and decreased quality of life and well-being. It’s about choice Evidence (both empirical and anecdotal) shows that advance planning and preparations are critical for ensuring your residence meets your needs as you age. So, rather than simply a goal to ‘agein-place,’ why not make the goal to age in the “right” place. In fact, what it boils down to is control. It’s who is in control of the decision, whether to move or stay put, that makes all the difference. When you make the decision for yourself, either in advance or in the moment, you control your own destiny. If left for others to decide on your behalf, you may not like the outcome.

Should Your Aging Parent Still Be Driving? Driving is one of the freedoms that teenagers can’t wait to get, and one that seniors are reluctant to give up. It is a source of independence and control over their lives because they can go anywhere they want, whenever they want. But many family members become more worried as their parents age, wondering whether it is still safe for them to be driving. There is no magical cut-off age for driving; it’s a matter of whether your loved one is both physically and mentally fit to continue doing so. Some people may drive into their 90s, while others have the keys taken away much earlier. This can be a tough but necessary conversation to have with your aging parent.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Before you decide that once your loved one hits a certain age they should hand over the keys, here are a few things to consider: • How is their vision? Are they able to easily read road signs, see traffic lights, and identify hazards? • How is their reaction time? Are they able to quickly respond if they need to apply the brakes or speed up to safely enter the flow of traffic? • Do they become confused, lost, or distracted easily? • Are there dents, dings, or scratches on the car where they have had run-ins with stationary (or moving) objects? Go for a ride along with them. See how well they are able to maneuver the car and follow the

HOSPICE CARE

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice: How We Die Matters Death is an inevitable part of life. We must all die. But how we die matters. Some believe in an afterlife, some believe in reincarnation and many believe that when we die that is the end. Whatever your belief, dying does not mean suffering. Hospice is not a place, it is an idea that dying from something other than an accident or sudden death should be peaceful no matter where you live or what the cause. The word hospice comes from the Latin root hospitium, which referred to a place where guests were received with hospitality and lodging. These concepts are associated with several modern words, including hospice, hostel, hotel, and hospital. In 1905, the Irish Sisters of Charity founded St. Joseph’s Hospice in the East End of London, where the modern hospice movement began with the work of Dr. Cicely Saunders who is credited with developing the art and science of modern hospice care according to the following principles: • Patients, family members, and healthcare professionals are more than collections of cells, bones, and blood; each is unique and has important physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. • Each person’s beliefs, values, and concerns should be respected regardless of nationality, race, religion, sexual

orientation, gender identity, disability, or financial status. • People who are suffering usually need help from caring, skilled professionals to articulate their needs, values, concerns, and fears. Much like a woman who during child birth needs help. • People who are suffering benefit from skilled inter-disciplinary interventions that alleviate physical, emotional, spiritual, and social pain. Hospice programs focus on improving quality of life and helping patients and families throughout the course of their illness to live life to the fullest until death occurs. For those at the end of life, the ultimate goal of hospice is to alleviate pain and suffering as patients make the transition from life to death. Hospice is a Medicare covered benefit and is also covered by many other insurance companies. The only criterion is that 2 physicians (one must be the hospice physician) certify that the patient has less than a 6-month prognosis if the disease continues on its expected course without aggressive treatments. When it comes time to choose a hospice one can usually be recommended by your physician and you can compare quality indicators of hospices on the Medicare.gov website.

HOSPICE CARE

Give Them the Best Gift You Can Give Few subjects can be as unsettling as creating an end-of-life (EOL) medical plan, also called an advance directive, that outlines the care you would want if you were too ill to speak for yourself. On the other hand, taking the time to complete an advance directive form could bring untold peace of mind to distraught family members should you become terminally ill, seriously injured, dealing with advanced dementia or near the end of life. Monday, April 16, 2018 is National Healthcare Decision Day. This day has been designated to highlight this critically important subject, even if most folks are reluctant to broach it. If you neglect to create an EOL plan while you’re in good health and of sound mind, you risk leaving critical decisions about your medical care in the hands of loved ones and medical professionals. Anyone who has visited a seriously ill family member in the hospital knows that it can be a time of stress and difficult decisions. Any decisions you make now spare the people you love from additional pain—and spare you from medical procedures you don’t want, while keeping medical expenses in check. Among the issues an advance directive can tackle are: • The types of life-support treatments you would want, or not want, at the end of life

…put your wishes in writing… • Whether you would want tubes inserted to provide nutrition and hydration • The name of the person you authorize to make medical decisions on your behalf In honor of National Healthcare Decision Day, put your wishes in writing. Start by going to NHDD.org or HospiceCanHelp.com. Editor’s Note: VITAS Healthcare is the nation’s largest provider of hospice solutions. For more information, go to VITAS.com or contact the VITAS Chicago South team at 866-759-6695.

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. For some patients, contact with these gentle animals evokes memories of pets in their lives, past or present.

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, it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients.

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 141

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING & URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) – helps apartment owners offer reduced rents to low-income tenants. HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM – (Sec 8) find your own place and use the voucher to pay for all or part of the rent. Participating households are required to pay the greater of 10% of their gross annual income or 30% of their adjusted income towards rent. To qualify, a household’s annual income must not exceed the applicable income limit for the area as adjusted by family size. (Sec 236) Property owners in this program make mortgage payments that are based on a 1% mortgage interest rate. HUD then provides a subsidy to their lender to cover the difference between 1% and the market interest rate on the property’s loan. Participating households are required to pay rent equal to the greater of 30% of their adjusted income (not to exceed the market rent) or the basic rent amount set by HUD for that particular property. Any amount paid by the household that is more than basic rent is considered excess rent, which the owner pays back to HUD in repayment of the subsidy.

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

Memory Care Facilities Support Residents as Well as Families continued from page 177

example, offers a modified stretching activity similar to tai chi, and residents are given iPods with music they enjoyed in the past, because “music evokes memory,” says executive director, Karolee Vandrush. Belmont Village senior executive director Jeanne Hansen recommends that families look at facilities sooner rather than later so they don’t have to make a hasty decision. “No two residents are the same,” she says. “Dementia, including Alzheimer’s, doesn’t manifest itself in the same way or at the same speed for any two people. Families need to find the place that’s right for them and their loved one.” Paying for It

Alzheimer’s care can alter retirement plans and the financing of those golden years. As a result, an Alzheimer’s patient may need many financial resources to cover the bills. SeniorHomes.com, a website tracking those charges, says that the average bill in Illinois for someone in a memory care facility runs from $60,000 to nearly $90,000 annually. Yet some memory care facilities in the Chicago area bill more than $100,000 a year, depending on the care an Alzheimer’s resident requires. These facilities are usually private pay. Short of having the money set aside, how else can you pay these costs? continued on page 202 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 187

Memory Care Facilities Support Residents as Well as Families continued from page 187 “Long-term care insurance can be expensive, but when you think about what it can provide an Alzheimer’s patient at a skilled nursing facility for a considerable amount of time, the benefit is vast,” says Lori Martin, who sells long-term care insurance plans at Riverside-based Envision Benefit Specialists. Some long-term care plans have high annual premiums, but Martin says that someone in their mid50s can purchase a policy with good benefits for a $2,500 annual premium. The American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance’s website, aaltci.org, lists agents specializing in selling long-term care plans. Providing Support for Families In addition to assisting residents, memory care facilities can also provide support for families. “All forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s, are very stigmatized, similar to depression,” says Mary Ann Anichini, a nurse practitioner and executive with Evanston-based Presbyterian Homes. “Families have a hard time accepting it.”
