MOSES & STRESS?

Frodo, Moses & Stress? Frodo, Moses & Stress?

In the Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, Frodo Baggins is the ring bearer, which means he has the responsibility of carrying the one ring to Middle Earth. At ﬁrst, the one ring isn’t a heavy burden on Frodo. He’s able to manage the burden, walking along without a problem. But over time that burden becomes heavier. By the end of the story, the ring weighs so heavily on Frodo that he can no longer walk under his own strength, he collapses. Samwise Gamgee, Frodo’s best friend, must pick up Frodo and carry him the rest of the way.

Here’s another story that may be familiar to you. The Israelites had just been delivered from slavery in Egypt. It didn’t take very long for the 2 million Israelites to disagree with one another, which meant someone had to judge their cases, all 2 million of them — tough break Moses! “Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening. When Moses’ father-inlaw saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till

evening?” And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God; when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his laws.” Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good. You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone (Exodus 18:13-18).

94% of Americans report experiencing stress. What stands out to me is that 6% of people report not experiencing stress! Stress is the most common disruptor of our mental health. Stress isn’t something that happens out in the world, per se. Rather, stress is a symptom of our response to what happens out in the world. Stress is a physiological or psychological response to an event that affects nearly every system of the body, inﬂuencing how we feel and behave. Here are a few signs that you may be experiencing stress: palpitations, sweating, dry mouth, shortness of breath, ﬁdgeting, and accelerated speech.

Think back to the two stories that we just read. Two ideas stand out. Sometimes we get stressed out because we’re trying to carry too much. Other times, we get stressed out because we’ve isolated ourselves from others. Frodo tried to carry the load all by himself, refusing to accept the help of others. It cost him in the end. And Moses isolated himself from others which is why his father-in-law reminded him, “You are not able to do

As we all know, having a plan before starting a home improvement project makes all the difference. Maybe you’ve experienced stress. But now you’re asking, “Where do I start? Here are three things to consider as you begin to develop your mental health plan: Recognize, Address, Act.

RECOGNIZE

Recognize the signs of stress. Sometimes the symptoms of stress appear right away, like those butterﬂies in your stomach. Other times, the symptoms of stress appear later, like a later afternoon headache or tightness in your neck and shoulders.

ADDRESS

I’m going to address anxiety by _______. It’s up to you to fill in the blank. Every person is different and so what works for someone else might not work for you. But one thing that doesn’t change from person to person is intentionality. Be intentional about addressing stress by being specific. Here’s an example of how you can be specific. I’m going to address stress by taking 5 minutes to breathe deeply and redirect my focus. Again, the key idea is intentionality—know exactly what you’re going to do and when you’re going to do it. Once you’ve determined how you’re going to address stress, it’s time to move to the final step in your mental health plan.

ACT

This is the simplest and hardest step of your mental health plan. Sometimes, this is where we fall short. But consider this, you’ve already put a plan into action by developing your mental health plan. Way to go! You do have what it takes, and you do follow-through with a plan. Keep reminding yourself of that and you’ll ﬁnd it much easier to keep putting your mental health plan into action.

Lastly, consider that both Frodo and Moses had a great friend come alongside each of them to carry the load. Friendship is truly a great gift. God doesn’t expect us to do life alone. Instead, he wants us to do life together. Allow others to carry your loads and help carry their loads. And remember, Jesus carried our sin on the cross!

Senior LIFE: Empowering Seniors to Thrive in the Comfort of Home

As seniors age, there are new challenges they are faced with. Two of the biggest challenges are managing their changing healthcare needs and balancing the rising costs of care. Many seniors and their families want to ﬁnd a solution that enables them to maintain their independence and live comfortably at home. Fortunately, there is an option - Senior LIFE (Living Independence for the Elderly), a state and federally funded Medicare and Medicaid program that is designed to provide comprehensive, long-term care for seniors. With a dedicated team of medical professionals and a wide range of medical and social services, Senior LIFE is an option for seniors and their families to keep their loved ones at home for as long as possible. With a focus on collaboration between healthcare professionals and caregivers, Senior LIFE ensures that seniors’ needs are met holistically, promoting overall well-being and quality of life.

The LIFE Health and Wellness Center is a distinctive feature of Senior LIFE, offering participants a holistic approach to healthcare. At this center, seniors can conveniently meet their doctors and nurses, participate in rehabilitation and therapy programs, dine together, and engage in a variety of social activities.

For seniors who live in the community on Medicaid, there are no costs for services. If you’re not sure if you qualify for Medicaid, please reach out to Senior LIFE 1-877-998-LIFE (5433). They can help you determine if you are eligible for services at no cost to you!

For more information, visit SeniorLIFEPa.com, or call 1-877-998-LIFE.

Alzheimer’s Impact Movement (AIM) Advances Cause Through Political Process

Alzheimer’s disease is not just an aging issue — it’s a public health crisis. More than 6 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s, and in 2023, an estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older were living with the disease.

Alzheimer’s affects not only individuals, but families, businesses and communities. And while there is good news—with new diagnostic tests making it easier to identify Alzheimer’s and new medications coming on line to help delay the progression of the disease—this new era of treatment is already facing hurdles when it comes to providing Alzheimer’s patients with access to the care they need.

2023 , an esti mated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older were living with the disease.

Our voices make sure that Alzheimer’s remains a national priority.

AIM (Alzheimer’s Impact Movement) is working to change this. As the advocacy arm of the Alzheimer’s Association, AIM ﬁghts to support Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding and to advance bipartisan legislation that will have a positive and meaningful impact on people living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers today and in the future.

“AIM works to ensure that Alzheimer’s remains a leading priority on Capitol Hill by participating in the political process,” said Jason Gerard, director of state government affairs, Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Pennsylvania. “We work to educate candidates of both parties to make sure that Alzheimer’s and dementia are part of the national plan. Our voices make

sure that Alzheimer’s remains a national priority.”

Working collaboratively, AIM members target numerous issues on both a state and national level that affect those with the disease. These include the creation of Alzheimer’s-related public health infrastructure, pushing for more federal funding for research, and ﬁghting the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for its decision to block access to FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatments.

“When we talk about the need to move our mission forward and to change the trajectory of the disease, work in policy and advocacy is instrumental in that,” said Gerard. “The impact of what we do is big, because changing the laws changes the lives of so many people.”

To volunteer for AIM or to learn more, visit www.alzimpact.org or reach out to Gerard at jcgerard@alz.org.

Make Sure Your Documents Get to the Right People

After receiving Estate Planning documents, one of the most important steps to take is ensuring that all doctors and organizations making up your medical team have a copy of the Health Care Directive. This document serves to appoint an agent as your Health Care Power of Attorney and gives treatment instructions in the event of an end-stage medical condition, otherwise known as a “Living Will”. We stress the importance of having a Health Care Directive, but rarely do we stress the importance of making sure it is shared appropriately. Recently, a friend of mine shared a story of what happened with her family when they did not share their Healthcare Directive with their medical team. Her mother, for whom she was the health care agent, was struggling and ended up needing to be hospitalized. Having reached a point where decisions needed to be made on her mother’s behalf, the hospital requested a copy of her estate planning documents.

Neither my friend nor her stepfather had brought a copy with them and were unsure where the documents even were. The hospital then offered to provide a new set of documents for her mother, particularly the Health Care Directive in case anything was to go wrong. Rather than driving back home and attempting to ﬁnd her original documents, my friend and her stepfather decided to go ahead and have the new ones made. When the nurse asked the mother who she would like to act as her agent, her daughter suggested appointing both herself and her stepfather. Her mom, however, immediately stated that her daughter was the only one she wanted as her agent and the only one to be making the decisions for her.

Ensure that all who make up your medical team have a copy of your Health Care Directive.

The situation was difficult and presented an uncomfortable moment for the daughter. She could tell that her stepfather, whom she was extremely close to, was upset and did not understand why his wife did not trust him to make such decisions for her. If this family had given the documents to their medical team right away, it perhaps would have saved them from a difficult moment, making an impossible situation even more stressful.

We at Bellomo & Associates encourage our clients to take their Health Care Directives immediately to their doctors, hospitals, and anyone within their medical team. We will always provide extra copies of documents for children, relatives, or those you have appointed so they can have them on hand as well. It is not enough to simply have the documents, but make sure you have them where you need them. Knowing where your documents are and having peace of mind knowing all medical parties on your team have them could save your future self from unnecessary heartache.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSULTING AN ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

As we age, the need for proper healthcare and long-term care planning becomes increasingly important. For many seniors and their families, Medicaid is a vital resource that can help cover the often substantial costs of general healthcare and nursing home care. However, navigating the complex rules of Medicaid can be overwhelming. That’s where an experienced elder law attorney can make a signiﬁcant difference.

In-Depth Knowledge of Medicaid Laws

Medicaid is a joint state and federal program, and eligibility requirements vary from state to state. An elder law attorney practicing in your state is well-versed in the state’s speciﬁc Medicaid laws. This knowledge ensures that you receive accurate and up-to-date advice tailored to your unique situation.

Asset Protection Strategies

Medicaid eligibility involves strict income and asset limits. An experienced elder law attorney can help you develop strategies to legally protect your assets while still qualifying for Medicaid beneﬁts. This may include strategies such as setting up irrevocable trusts, gifting plans (prior to the 5 year “lookback period” in Pennsylvania), or appropriately transferring assets.

Medicaid Application Assistance

Filling out a Medicaid application correctly is essential for a smooth approval process. An elder law attorney can guide you through the application process, ensuring that all necessary documentation is complete and submitted on time. This reduces the risk of application denials or delays that could jeopardize your access to crucial beneﬁts.

Planning for Medicaid is a complex and highly regulated process that should not be taken lightly. Consulting an experienced elder law attorney can help you navigate this intricate system with ease, while protecting assets and securing the care needed by yourself or a loved one.

Essilor, the world’s largest manufacturer of prescription eyeglass lenses, has just released the newest line of Transitions brand photochromic lenses. Photochromic lenses are lenses that darken in outdoor light. They were ﬁrst introduced in the 1960’s and have developed a steady following over the years.

Despite all the beneﬁts, there have been more than a few eyeglass wearers who choose to stay with clear lenses for one reason or another. Some wearers don’t experience a lot of sensitivity issues that photochromic lenses help cut down on, some don’t care for tinted lenses, and some don’t like the amount of time it takes for the lenses to change back from dark to light.

A lot of the things that people didn’t like about photochromic lenses have been addressed over the

The New Generation of Light Adaptive Lenses

years with each new release and advancement of the product. The current release of Transitions brand lenses, Transitions Gen S, addresses many of those previous concerns. The biggest advancement is speed. The lenses darken quicker than ever before, taking only 25 seconds to get to sunglass darkness. And even more impressive is the time it takes the lenses to fade back to clear. In the previous generation of Transitions lenses the fade back time was 4 minutes. This version fades back in 2 minutes.

Transitions Gen S also comes in a wide variety of vibrant colors. Gone are the days when gray and brown are your only style choices. Added to the mix are ruby, sapphire, amethyst, emerald, amber and graphite green. Perfect options for those looking to pair the lenses with a stylish new colorful frame.

Photochromic lenses really do much more than just cut down on brightness. They make the transition from indoor light to outdoor light much easier on the eyes. By reducing squinting, they provide better vision quality in bright light. Therefore, creating a more comfortable experience for eyeglass wearers. The lenses also reduce harmful blue light and reduce eye strain. Discussing photochromic lenses with your eyecare professional would be a worthwhile conversation. Your local optician or our professionals at Darrell M. Sipe Opticians and Hearing Aids can assist you today!

SENIOR SHARED RIDE PROGRAM

Supports Access to Transportation

If you’ve ever played the Pennsylvania Lottery, then you’ve probably heard their slogan: Beneﬁts Older Pennsylvanians. Every Day. But have you ever wondered how?

One way is by partially subsidizing Shared Ride services across Pennsylvania. Lebanon Transit is one such operator of Shared Ride, which is a curb-to-curb, reservation-based transportation program servicing all of Lebanon County.

“Shared Ride” means that the service is open to the public but is not a taxi or Uber. The Shared Ride van will pick you up at your curb and transport you to your destination. You can travel to any destination in Lebanon County, including doctors, stores, and friends or family, plus the Hershey Medical Center campus. Since the service is shared there may be other people in the vehicle besides you, or the driver may need to pick up other passengers prior to dropping you off at your destination.

Anyone can utilize Shared Ride services. However, full fare may cost more than $20 per trip. But seniors may qualify for a reduced fare. To qualify, you must be at least 65 years old and supply one of the eligible proofs of age to Lebanon Transit. Your fare is then only $2.50 per trip regardless of the distance you travel. The Lottery pays the rest!

And when you are signed up for Shared Ride you also ride any ﬁxed route bus for free!

To sign-up for Shared Ride in Lebanon County call 717.274.3664. For other counties, visit https://gis.penndot. gov/transitmap/ to ﬁnd available transit services.

Editor’s Note: Mike Ritter submitted this article. He is the Marketing & Outreach Coordinator for Lebanon Transit. See their ad on page 83.

They must cover all Medicare approved services. Most Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage.

Advantage Plans

Part C

INSTEAD of a Medigap Plan (A-N)

Premium varies by company and coverage. (Same premium for all ages).

Deductible (Phase I)

$0–$545 deductible

Coverage Gap / Doughnut Hole (Phase III)

The member now pays much more for covered drugs 25% generic / 25% brand. There is a drug manufacture discount on certain drugs that can count toward the “True out-of-pocket” (TrOOP). You remain here until the $8,000 (TrOOP) has been met. It’s estimated you will pay about $3,300 of the $8,000.

Support Our Seniors: Join ALPHA in Helping Low-Income Personal Care Homes

Many seniors in Pennsylvania rely on Personal Care Homes (PCHs) and Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) for daily support and care. These residences are crucial for those who need assistance with daily activities. Many seniors that need this care face financial barriers due to their low income. Pennsylvania’s “SSI Supplement” program aims to help low-income individuals afford PCH care by providing limited financial assistance from federal and state funds. However, the current rate of $46 per day for care has seen minimal adjustments since 2006, despite a 55% rise in inflation. Consequently, over half of the providers who accept SSI residents have closed since 2008, making it increasingly diﬃcult for eligible seniors to find affordable care.

WHO WE ARE

ALPHA (Alliance for Low-Income Personal Care Home Advancement) is a statewide organization dedicated to ensuring the sustainability of low-income PCHs through advocacy, volunteerism, partnerships, and business mentoring. We invite passionate individuals to join us in making a meaningful impact on the lives of residents and the viability of their homes. Whether you can spare a few hours monthly or offer specific skills, your involvement can significantly benefit our low-income seniors in PA.

HOSPICE: a Financial and Emotional Lifeline

Hospice care is a vital resource designed to provide compassionate support to individuals facing lifelimiting illnesses. However, despite its benefits, hospice remains significantly underutilized in many communities. This trend raises important questions about why individuals and families may not be accessing this valuable service when they need it most. One key factor contributing to the underutilization of hospice care is a lack of awareness and understanding. Many people are unfamiliar with hospice and may mistakenly believe that it is only appropriate for individuals in the final days or weeks of life. Hospice care is most effective when accessed earlier in the journey of a life-limiting illness, allowing patients and their families to benefit from comprehensive support, pain management, and emotional care for a longer duration.

Furthermore, cultural and societal attitudes toward death and dying play a significant role in shaping perceptions of hospice care. In some cultures, discussions about death may be considered taboo or uncomfortable, leading individuals to avoid conversations about end-of-life care until it becomes unavoidable.

This reluctance to confront mortality can prevent individuals from seeking hospice services until it is too late to fully benefit from them.

Financial concerns also contribute to the underutilization of hospice care. While hospice services are typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans, some individuals may be unaware of their coverage options or may be reluctant to incur additional expenses related to end-of-life care. This financial barrier can prevent individuals from accessing hospice services until their illness has progressed to a point where the benefits of hospice may be limited.

Additionally, healthcare provider attitudes and practices can influence the utilization of hospice care. Some healthcare professionals may be hesitant to broach the topic of hospice with patients and their families, fearing that it may be perceived as giving up hope or admitting defeat. This reluctance to discuss end-oflife care options can delay access to hospice services and limit the ability of patients and their families to make informed decisions about their care. Addressing the underutilization of hospice care requires a multifaceted approach that involves

****Therapies: A=Aroma / MA=Massage Therapy / MU=Music Therapy / P=Pet Therapy

HOSPICE - Hospices provide individuals facing a terminal illness with care in a private residence or in a healthcare facility. The goal is to provide quality of life and to assist patients to live the last stages of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than curative treatment of the terminal illness.

SERVICES PROVIDED:

RN-REGISTERED NURSE – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family education as needed

SW-SOCIAL WORKER – Assesses patient and family emotional and social needs, develops a plan of care, and provides counseling and support to meet identified needs, and makes referrals to other providers based on family and patient’s needs

CHAPLAIN – Assesses patient and family spiritual needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, assists with memorial preparations.

VOLUNTEERS – Provides companionship and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement.

LEVELS OF CARE:

RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in managing the individual’s disease symptoms. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence or in a healthcare facility.

RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a skilled nursing facility. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the facility.

GIP – GENERAL IN-PATIENT CARE

– Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This higher level of care is due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. The 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 to the patient at their private residence or in a personal care home or assisted living facility. 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 crises that require a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

THERAPY SERVICES PROVIDED:

AR-AROMA THERAPY – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence, a retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility.

MA-MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to. Massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

MU-MUSIC THERAPY – Music

Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experienc-

es (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

P-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.

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 hospice companies provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting.

HOME HEALTH – Indicates whether the hospice agency has a sister home health agency that will provide

Continued on page 116

Hospice Care Definitions

assistance with medically based home health needs such as nursing services, home health aide services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy or speech therapy.

INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients.

PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms con-

trolled 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.

PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious 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.

HOSPICE: a Financial and Emotional Lifeline

raising awareness, promoting cultural competence, addressing financial barriers, and improving communication between healthcare providers and patients. Education campaigns aimed at dispelling myths and misconceptions about hospice can help individuals and families understand the benefits of early intervention and comprehensive endof-life support.

Healthcare providers should receive training on how to initiate conversations about hospice care in a compassionate and sensitive manner, ensuring that patients and their families are fully informed about their

options. By addressing these barriers, we can work towards ensuring that all individuals facing life-limiting illnesses have access to the support and care they need to live their final days with dignity and comfort.

Senior Housing Definitions

ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING

(ADLs) – Activities involving personal care and mobility such as bathing, dressing, toileting, walking and meal preparation.

AGE RESTRICTIONS – Some communities have a restriction on the youngest age they are allowed to accept. These restrictions vary by community.

ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENCES

(AL) – Typically apartment-style with kitchenettes and private baths. Assisted living services and personal assistance with ADLs are provided. In PA there is a licensure distinction between Assisted Living Residences and Personal Care Homes. An Assisted Living Residence in PA is “a significant long-term care alternative to allow individuals to age in place… and [to] develop and maintain maximum independence, exercise decision-making and personal choice.” according to PA Code, Ch 2800.

ADULT DAY

SERVICES – Most providers can elect to provide day/ night services on a short or long term basis. Rates typically include a place to rest, one or two meals and snacks and activities for the day.

CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT

COMMUNITY (“CCRC”) – There are many different types of CCRCs. There are Pay for Fee Communities (Type

C), Life Plan Communities (Type A) and even some rental models (Type D) inside CCRCs, but the unifying factor Is that they provide all levels of care - Independent Living, Assisted Living/Personal Care, Memory Care and Skilled Nursing. Many offer many additional amenities, such as Rehabilitation Facilities, meal plans, transportation, housekeeping, laundry and maintenance. Amenities are usually abundant; formal libraries, computer stations, swimming pools, gardens, and other social gathering spaces.

CCRC DEFINITIONS:

BENEVOLENT PROGRAM – A program created to maintain a resident’s lifestyle when they run out of resources through no fault of their own.

FEE FOR SERVICE COMMUNITIES

(TYPE C) – Includes housing, residential services and offers different levels of healthcare, but not at the same monthly cost. Where you are on the continuum of care dictates what you pay for the monthly fee. There is typically an up-front fee that varies based on the type residential amenities and other factors.

LIFE CARE COMMUNITIES (TYPE

A) – Includes housing, residential services and unlimited use of healthcare services with little or no increase in monthly fees. Your monthly fees are not dependent on the level of care that you need, which

is why a Life Care Community may charge a larger up-front fee, as the Life Care Community is absorbing the risk on the resident’s level of care needed.

RENTAL AGREEMENT (TYPE D)

- Typically a small amount of rental properties are available which are not subsidized. Does not participate in the buy-in fee, nor has access to the continuum of care benefits.

INDEPENDENT LIVING COMMUNITIES – Apartments and communities for adults 55+.

INSTRUMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (IADLs) – Activities involving more complex functioning such as grocery shopping, writing

checks, housework, cooking, traveling, and managing money.

INTERMEDIATE CARE – 24-hour inpatient care for residents who need licensed nursing supervision and supportive care, but do not require continuous nursing care. Residents may receive full assistance with ADL’s and transfers. Residents receive medications from a nurse following a doctor’s orders and may receive outpatient rehab services.

MEMORY CARE RESIDENCES (MC) – Licensed Assisted Living or Personal Care Homes that specialize in delivering care to patients with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Communities are typically bedroom-

Mastering Your M.O.V.E.

Moving can be stressful, physically demanding, mentally exhausting and full of unpredictable challenges. How do you best mitigate this uncomfortable reality? At Armstrong Relocation – Jack Treier Moving, we like to call it the M-OV-E plan.

“M” IS FOR MANAGER.

Nothing is more important for a successful move than selecting the service providers, setting the service expectations, supervising the service delivery and assuring that service is completed as expected. Someone (you) must Manage the process, which is why you are the most important aspect of a successful move.

“O”

IS FOR ORGANIZED.

There are two parts to being organized.

1. The Intangibles: You must be clear on your expectations, budget, timelines, and preferences. If you are serving as the move manager, get a notepad and a calendar and write everything down. If this seems overwhelming, hiring a professional move manager can help cover all bases.

2. PhysicalOrganization:Know what you plan to keep and where it is going. Implement the “Three D’s”: Distribute, Donate, & Discard. Distribute items to family and friends, donate usable items, and discard what is not needed. You may also consider selling some items. Your professional move manager can assist in evaluating your options, or you can browse online for estate sales or auctioneers. Remember, items are only worth what someone is willing to pay, so avoid overpricing to prevent having surplus items at the end.

“V” IS FOR VERIFY AND VOCALIZE.

All your service providers should provide you with Licenses, Training Certifications and Certificates of Insurance. Do they background check and drug test their employees? Get service commitments in writing and read the agreements and disclosures.

“E”

IS FOR ENGAGED.

Whether you hire a move manager, get help from a friend or family, or go at it alone; stay engaged in the process.

Being satisfied with the results is the priority. Make sure success does not slip through your fingers! So, how do you best mitigate this uncomfortable reality?

10 STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL MOVE

1. Review Your Moving Company’s Relocation Policy: Carefully go over what is covered with your move.

2. Schedule Your Survey: Complete a virtual or in-home survey to get an estimate.

3. Submit All Cost of Move Estimates: Get your estimate approved by yourself or your employer.

4. Specialty Items: Armstrong works with a third party to handle specialty items, disconnect major appliances, and/or remove wallmounted TVs.

5. Start Packing: Your packers will put items in boxes. Double-check cabinets and closets for overlooked items.

6. Be Available During Loading: Armstrong will carefully load your belongings onto the truck. Make sure you sign off on all the paperwork.

7. During Transit: Keep your Armstrong contact information handy while your belongings are on the way.

8. Be Available During Unloading: The crew will offload the truck and place your belongings in their new surroundings. Work with the driver on the checklist during delivery.

9. Note Any Damages: Confirm all items are delivered in good condition. If necessary, file a claim.

10. Settle In: Congratulations on your new home!

Discover the Community of Senior Living

Senior living communities offer many appealing features such as maintenance-free living, chef-prepared meals, and housekeeping services. Being free from the worry of everyday chores makes retirement much easier and more enjoyable. However, what makes the right senior community your new home is the people who share it with you. From new friends and neighbors to an enthusiastic staff and devoted caregivers, the benefits of being connected to a true community are immeasurable.

When researching the best senior living community for you, it is not only important to review the company’s literature, website, and social media pages, but also to schedule a tour. Visiting a community is the best way to see first-hand how the residents and staff interact with each other. Be sure to ask about activities and events to see what the lifestyle is like at the community. A vibrant senior living community, such as Harmony Senior Services, will have a calendar filled with daily activities, fun parties, and local excursions.

Here are three ways to get connected to the community of senior living:

JOIN A CLUB…OR CREATE ONE! – There are many clubs throughout the Harmony communities that focus on specialized topics such as gardening, cars, pets, knitting, chess, choir, books, and much more. Connecting over common interests is a fast way to make new friends. If your community doesn’t have a club that you want, create one! The Life Enrichment Director would be happy to help you get started.

TRY SOMETHING NEW – Whether its playing pool in the game room or bocce on the lawn, it is never too late to discover a new passion. With Harmony Senior Services you can even “travel” the world. Harmony’s Journey Program presents a different country each month that residents can experience through film, books, art, and a special dinner featuring cuisine

from the country. From the pyramids of Egypt to the gorgeous landscapes of Italy, there is a world to discover and rediscover.

SHARE A MEAL – What is better than a good meal? Sharing it with a friend! At Harmony, residents come together to enjoy delicious restaurant style meals served in a beautiful dining room. From fine cuisine to comfort food favorites, dining at Harmony offers options for any taste. For a more casual gathering, relax on the patio or meet up in the pub for happy hour.

WellSpan York Hospital, ALPHA addresses the critical gap in care for low-income individuals who require PCH essential services. These homes serve Pennsylvanians eligible for the Supplemental Security Income Supplement, crucial for extremely low-income residents.

FINANCIAL CHALLENGES & IMPACT ON CARE

PCH operators face substantial financial hurdles. While there was a recent increase to $51 per day in 2022 due in part to ALPHA’s advocacy efforts, Pennsylvania only supports this with $20.44 daily. Despite this improvement, residents receiving SSI only get $1,553 per month, with a mere $85 allocated for personal needs—far from adequate for both residents and PCH operations.

OUR GOALS

Beginning in York County, ALPHA now supports SSI PCHs statewide by advocating for increases in the SSI Supplement, cost-of-living adjustments, and personal needs allowances. We provide resources such as coaching, business training, grants, and community engagement to bolster these facilities’ operations and enhance resident care and quality of life.

PERSONAL CARE HOMES AND ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

SIGNS IT MIGHT BE TIME FOR MEMORY CARE

In the early stages of dementia, a person may do well independently. As brain changes continue and cognitive abilities decline, living at home becomes impractical without the help of relatives or a home-care agency.

Often, families must decide when to move a loved one into a senior living community. It’s a diﬃcult decision, but families find comfort and peace of mind once they understand the value a specialized community lifestyle can provide for their loved one.

RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS

Each person progresses differently through dementia. Some telltale indicators, like personality changes, neglected hygiene, and wandering, can signify that it’s time to explore specialized care and living options.

Here are signs families should watch for:

• Personal safety. Dementia symptoms like confusion and disorientation can make seniors prone to wandering and getting lost or vulnerable to falls and other dangers like leaving burners or appliances on after cooking.

• A decline in overall health. A loved one with dementia struggles to complete activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, and bathing, as well as managing medications. Have you noticed unexplained weight loss or gain? What is their appearance like? Are they bathing properly and wearing clean clothing?

“I love this community. Whenever I visit I get the most positive responses from the staff. They are compassionate and helpful. You can tell that residents’ needs are front of mind here. Check it out. You’ll be glad you did.” – Tom HHHHH

Caring for someone with a chronic condition is not easy.

Continued on page 160

• Behavior and mood changes. Brain changes caused by dementia can affect your loved one’s personality, causing them to feel agitated, more anxious, or experience hallucinations. They may also withdraw from social activities and events they once enjoyed, which can increase the risk of depression.

• Caregiver burnout. Burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Without intervention, burnout will cause you to lose interest in caring for yourself and your family member.

Most family care partners provide care with little or no support, and some face dual-generation care demands, resulting in higher emotional and financial strains. Memory care communities can alleviate the burden of caregiving and provide families with the comfort that a team of caregivers is available 24/7. Specialized memory care communities like Senior Commons at Powder provide residents with a secure environment, a daily structured program that instills purpose and fulfillment, and a tailored care plan focusing on their current abilities.

While it’s essential to recognize the signs of advanced dementia, it’s also good to note the importance of having a long-term care plan in place. The benefits of a transition in the early stages of dementia allow your loved one an adjustment period to become familiar with their surroundings, form relationships with care providers and residents, and help restore your relationship.

Support Our Seniors: Join ALPHA in Helping Low-Income Personal Care Homes

PCHS IN THE HEALTHCARE LANDSCAPE

PCHs offering the SSI Supplement play a crucial role in healthcare, offering cost-effective care and assistance with activities of daily living for a diverse population, including seniors and individuals with disabilities. Upholding their integrity ensures these vulnerable populations receive essential services.

THE LANDSCAPE OF LOW-INCOME PCHS

As of June 2024, Pennsylvania has seen a significant decline in SSI-accepting PCHs, dropping from 894 in 2008 to 391. Similarly, the number of residents benefiting from the SSI Supplement has decreased from 8,776 to 3,844 during the same period. This reduction reflects the pressing need for sustainable solutions to support low-income PCHs and their residents. Preserving low-income PCHs isn’t just a moral obligation but also a financial necessity for Pennsylvania. Collaboration between ALPHA, policymakers, and the community is crucial in developing sustainable strategies that safeguard these vital components of the long-term care system.
