Medicaid penalty period, which would make you ineligible for Medicaid for a period of time. However, there are circumstances in which transferring a house will not result in a penalty period.
One of those circumstances is if the Medicaid applicant transfers the house to a “caretaker child.” This is defined as a child of the applicant who lived in the house for at least two years prior to the applicant’s entering a nursing home and who during that period provided care that allowed the applicant to avoid a nursing home stay. In such cases, the Medicaid applicant may freely transfer a home to the child without triggering a transfer penalty. Note that the exception applies only to a child, not a grandchild or other relative.
Each state Medicaid agency has its own rules for proof that the child has lived with the parent and provided the necessary level of care, making it doubly important to consult with your attorney before making this (or any other) kind of transfer.
n
Others to whom a home may be transferred without Medicaid’s usual penalty are: n Your spouse n A child who is under age 21 or who is blind or disabled n Into a trust for the sole benefit of a disabled individual under age 65 (even if the trust is for the benefit of the Medicaid applicant, under certain circumstances) A sibling who has lived in the home during the year preceding the applicant’s institutionalization and who already holds an equity interest in the home. ~

Through the course of your life, you work hard to build your assets. You spend a substantial amount of time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears to build up a foundation you can be proud of. While life certainly doesn’t just revolve around money, one of your biggest accomplishments is seeing all the hard work that has been put in come to fruition. On the other hand, one of the toughest challenges in life can be asking for help, especially help with things that you have worked so hard to create and have put so much of yourself into. Eventually, however, there comes a point when you need a hand and simply are not able to efficiently manage the financial affairs you once so confidently could. These challenges can be even further complicated when you don’t know who to turn to for help. Whether you simply don’t have the people accessible to you that you would trust to fill those roles, you would rather an independent approach to avoid family conflict
and maintain fairness, or you would just prefer someone who has the knowledge and experience to navigate and handle those roles expertly and professionally, this situation happens more commonly than one may think. A professional fiduciary has experience and knowledge to navigate the laws and regulations relating to management of assets and provides you with a resource you can trust to make clear, logical decisions when it comes to your financial well-being. If you find yourself in a situation where management of your financial needs is simply too big of a burden to bear, the bills are stacking up and you just don’t know where to turn, it might be time to utilize a professional fiduciary to help alleviate your financial stress. ~

The 3 P’s to Better Hearing TV commercials or online ads may imply something different, but there are 3 critical factors to successful hearing treatment. A lack of any of the 3 could negatively impact your success to better hearing. The first and most important “P” is the Professional. Finding the right professional is essential! In fact, 7 of the top 10 factors in patient satisfaction are directly related to the relationship and best practices performed by the professional! The second “P” is the Process. The majority of hearing-impaired people did not lose their hearing overnight. Patients only realize they are ‘missing’ things when it affects conversations that are valuable, but by then there are many sounds that have disappeared. Since patients don’t realize they have hearing loss until years later,

hearing cannot be restored overnight either. The brain needs to be slowly reintroduced to the sounds that have been missing. Finally, the 3rd “P” is the Product. The product is still an important part of a patient’s success, but a good professional can work with many quality hearing technologies. You have to have a good Professional and good Process set up before finding the right Product. You get what you pay for; make sure your investment covers all three. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Whitney Swander, Au.D., which is a condensed excerpt from her co-written book “Isolation is Optional”.

Know Where to Go for Emergency Care There was a time when the local hospital emergency room was a person’s only choice for an illness or injury that wouldn’t wait for normal business hours. Today, it’s one of a menu of options for such care, from urgent cares to neighborhood micro-hospitals and stand-alone ERs. Defining an emergency It starts with knowing what a health emergency is. Generally speaking, it’s a serious or life-threatening condition that requires immediate attention or advanced care such as heart attack, major broken bones and large wounds. Emergency rooms, whether they are attached to a hospital or are stand-alone, are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and offer extensive testing options to care for life-threatening emergencies. Have a Plan In the event you are sick or have an emergency, you don’t want to be scrambling for where to go or what to do. Calling 911 is the obvious first step in the most serious of emergencies, but you should know what services are close to you for needs that don’t rise to such a level. n

such as the Doctor On Demand app for your phone, for nonacute care any time. Find out if your primary care doctor provides same-day visits or offers after-hours care. This is often the best option for urgent, but non-emergency medical issues. For affordable after-hours care, find out if an urgent care facility is near you, and exactly what its capabilities are. Find out where the nearest accredited Chest Pain and Certified Stroke Centers are. These emergency departments provide the best care for these specific critical issues. Keep vital information with you, Keep a list in your wallet of such information as medications, allergies, primary care doctor and advanced directives. Know your insurance, such as if you have differing co-pays for urgent care, emergency care and doctor visits. When you have a true emergency, don’t worry about insurance and call 911 immediately.

As we grow older, good nutrition is important but may cause a challenge to aging adults. Getting to the grocery store alone can be an obstacle, as well as having the mobility to actually prepare nutritious meals on a daily basis. Although some delivery services like Meals on Wheels are convenient, they are not customized to the individuals tastes and likes. Hello Fresh and other meal box type services can be expensive, and the meals still have to be prepared. Some home care services provide meal prep, but only on a limited basis and the care provider is probably not a trained Chef.
Chefs For Seniors provides meals prepared in the home by a professional Chef. Meals can be customized to individual tastes and dietary needs. The meals are packaged with care for the week in microwave safe containers. It is our mission to change the ife of Seniors, one delicious meal at a time! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Denise K Huff.

How to Preserve Assets When Faced With Long Term Care Costs Meet Charlie and Fran. They have three children, 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren… so far!
They have hopes and dreams for their future generations and have worked hard to ensure their legacy is passed on. As they age, they realize that if either one of them needs Long Term Care, that their property and other assets could be at risk. They need accurate information they can trust so that if Long Term Care needs come on suddenly they are prepared and able to protect their assets. It is estimated that over 70% of people over 65 will need some type of Long Term Care(LTC) according to the US Department of Health & Human Services. Colorado has many resources for financial help like Health First Colorado, Colorado’s Medicaid Program and Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension that will help pay for in home care, assisted living and nursing facility care. Most Colorado elderly who need help paying for LTC feel that they will not qualify for these programs because they have too much income or too many assets. In reality, many could qualify if they had the information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a VA Accreditation or a Certified Medicaid Planner (CMP) designation. The problem is, that often plans for one program will conflict with good planning for the other. With uncertain care costs it is valuable to have one person or firm

who understands multiple programs for assistance to ensure that in planning for one solution, an applicant isn’t disqualifying themselves for future aid from other programs. Aid and Attendance is available only to veterans who have served during wartime. It has a cap to benefits and if costs of care exceed the VA maximum benefit, then other programs will offer a better solution. The rules of eligibility are readily available online. However, incomplete or inaccurate advice often causes people to think they must “spend down” to qualify for these programs. This simply is not true and can lead to an unnecessary liquidation of the assets people have worked a lifetime to obtain. There are legitimate means of preserving valuable or sentimental assets and income. Here in Colorado, to the surprise of many, following guidelines carefully afford numerous opportunities to protect income and assets. Consulting with an accredited firm and CMP who specializes in LTC financial solutions can help you and your family to file a successful application and qualify for the program that has the best financial outcome for your family. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Stacy Osborne, MBA CMP with Beneficent.

What is PACE? Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) are programs that provide comprehensive health services for individuals age 55 and over who are sufficiently frail to be categorized as “nursing home eligible” by their state’s Medicaid program. Eligibility for PACE requires that individuals be 55 years old or older, certified by the state to need nursing home-level care, reside near a PACE program, and be able to live safely in the community. Services include primary and specialty medical care, nursing, social services, therapies (occupational, physical, speech, recreation, etc.), pharmaceuticals, day health center services, home care, health-related transportation, minor modification to the home to accommodate disabilities, and anything else the program determines is medically necessary to maximize a member’s health. How PACE works: PACE programs become the insurance and the health care provider and are directly responsible for providing all health services and manage all aspects of their participant’s healthcare. PACE is paid
40 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2019-2020
through Medicaid and Medicare combined (dual eligible) or private pay on a monthly basis. Most PACE patients have multiple diagnoses, with an average of over 7 diagnoses per member. Among the most common are cardiac problems, diabetes, hypertension, and vascular disease. PACE programs tend to provide high levels of preventive services, such as very frequent check-ups, exercise programs, dietary monitoring, programs to increase strength and balance, etc. PACE programs organize their services in a “PACE Center”. These Centers have a Day Center, medical clinic, social services and rehabilitation services, along with administrative staff, all in one site. Members attend centers from rarely to 5 days a week, depending on their care plans. Care planning is done with the member, his or her care team, and appropriate family members; most members attend about 2 days per week. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Leslie Mader, M.A. Leslie is the Business Development Specialist for TRU PACE based in Lafayette, CO.

Dig a Little Deeper When Looking Does this health plan have my current doctor? Cover my medications? Alongside cost of care these two questions are commonly asked by Medicare beneficiaries when considering whether to change their health plan. Unfortunately, opportunities to look beyond costs and coverage are sometimes overlooked. There are many other factors to investigate when reviewing plans and considering change. Of most importance is quality of care. The level and quality of care associated with a health plan can play a significant role in the healthcare experience as well as overall health of the member. Find out: what are the quality ratings associated with plans being considered? What does the plan offer that would be valuable to me? Do they simply provide insurance, or do they plan an active role in helping members to obtain or maintain good health standing? Health plans are easy when healthy… what about when sick? What resources are provided to assist in that time of need? Also consider time and communication are the two most crucial elements to success in healthcare yet not all organizations recognize

for a Medicare Health Plan
this as many only promote low cost coverage or choice in marketing materials. Consider what role(s), if any, the health plan being considered play in helping the member to reduce time wasted navigating the system or ensuring proper communication is taking place. Can members only access care in person? Chat? Email? Video? Phone? Text? How hard is it (or easy) for a member to communicate when needed? How soon does one get a response? It is not easy to know which plan is best for everyone. It can be a difficult decision. However, seeking to gain a better understanding with respect to quality, time, and communication will help maximize opportunity to make a choice that is comfortable and appropriate. Do yourself a favor and dig a little deeper when looking for a plan. You will thank yourself for it later. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Matt Engstrom, MBA.

Can CBD Help You? CBD (cannabidiol) is one of hundreds of chemical compounds, including TCH (tetrahydrocannabinol), found in the hemp or cannabis plant. While THC is known for producing a “high,” CBD is non-psychoactive. Because of this, its appeal as a potential therapeutic option for a myriad of conditions has grown. Extensive preclinical research—much of it sponsored by the U.S. government—indicates that CBD has potent anti-tumoral, antioxidant, anti-spasmodic, anti-psychotic, anti-convulsive, and neuroprotective properties. CBD directly activates serotonin receptors, causing an anti-anxiety effect. It works by modulating the endocannibanoid system, a hitherto unknown and complex neurochemical system encompassing most of the human body, including the brain, central and peripheral nervous systems, immune system, and peripheral organs. Recently there has been an onslaught of CBD products hitting the market amid claims that it is a cureall. While certainly not a panacea, a solid body of research shows CBD’s numerous potential benefits. When navigating the purchase of
50 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2019-2020
CBD, determining which products and appropriate dosages for specific conditions can be a challenge. Over the past year I’ve undertaken a lot of study on this topic and consulted with other experts in the cannabis medicine field in order to give my patients solid advice on the therapeutic benefits and which products are of highest quality. Groundbreaking research is showing that Whole Plant CBD (as opposed to CBD isolate) provides superior therapeutic properties. Whole Plant CBD includes CBD, less than 0.3% THC and other phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and anti-inflammatories. Before purchasing, the key is to look for products that are rigorously tested and high quality. As always, check with your medical provider before using CBD products. For more on CBD, visit ProjectCBD.org. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by John Kelley, MD, family practice physician at Boulder Medical Center.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL
THE most common infectious disease in dogs and cats is periodontal disease, which is a progressive inflammatory infection of the ligament of the tooth root and gingiva. Periodontal disease causes pain, infections, and tooth loss in our pets. 80-85% of ALL pets over the age of 3 are affected. As modern medicine and dentistry has advanced for us as pet owners, the veterinary community recognizes how serious dental disease can be for our furry companions. Just like in humans, periodontal disease is a chronic source of both moderate and severe pain for pets.
Periodontal disease can be the underlying cause of certain kinds of heart disease. It causes heart valve infections from the blood stream being constantly showered with bacteria from the mouth. Additionally, chronic inflammation from the mouth puts stress on the kidneys and infections in the mouth can make the liver work harder to clear toxins. Please talk to your veterinarian if you are concerned about tartar or dental disease in your pet. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Robyn Murray, DVM. Dr. Murray is the Lead Veterinarian with Complete Companion Care and may be reached at 303-518-5687 or by email at info@cccpets.com. See ad below.

Facing the Challenges The challenges faced by individuals of Parkinson’s with Parkinson’s disease (PD), even within their own homes, can be Disease many and varied. PD is a disease that develops and worsens slowly over time. Symptoms range widely from motor symptoms (like tremors, coordination, balance, walking deficits, lack of facial expression, decreased vocal volume and inflection) to non-motor symptoms (like depression, anxiety, constipation, lethargy). Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, depending on how long they have had the disease, what sorts of treatments they employ, as well as other disease processes and other factors which may impact them. Treatments which can be used to successfully manage the symptoms and may assist with slowing the disease progression include medication management, evidence-based, PD-specific exercise programs and possibly surgery. Skilled home care agencies working with these individuals are in the unique position of seeing exactly what challenges patients with PD and their care partners face in their homes. Symptoms can fluctuate, sometimes in an unpredictable manner. Skilled home health staff can help to improve safety and function within the home, as well as help with the transition back to the community. Within the home, individuals with
90 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2019-2020
Parkinson’s disease may struggle with slow, small movements which can affect their ability to dress, bathe, move in bed and prepare food efficiently and safely. Deficits in walking caused by PD may make it difficult to negotiate changes in flooring, small spaces and doorways, and may also increase an individual’s risk for falls. Individuals with PD and their care partners may require community resources and/or may need to find additional caregiver help in the home and information regarding finances and planning for the future. Lack of facial expression, deficits in speech and decreased breath support may impact communication and individuals may have cognitive deficits. Correct and timely medication regimens are also integral to safe and efficient management of symptoms. Home health clinicians with specialized training coordinate closely with all team members to target the deficits associated with Parkinson’s disease. RNs, PTs, OTs, STs, MSWs and CNAs enable their patients with PD to meet their goals and maximize their potential. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Susie Lefebvre, PT, of Boulder Community Home Care.

Although there are no screening guidelines, if there is a strong family history of macular degeneration or someone has difficulty with their vision, it is recommended that adults over the age of 65 have an eye exam about every year. Antioxidant vitamins and minerals (AREDS2 multivitamins) are an effective treatment for dry AMD that has been diagnosed by your eye doctor. Smoking is a large risk factor for macular degeneration, especially wet macular degeneration. Treatment of exudative (or wet) AMD includes injections of medications into the eye, or less commonly a

HOSPICE CARE
Easing the Journey With Palliative (pal-lee-uhtiv) care is Supportive Care a medical specialty for people of any age living with a chronic or serious illness.
It is sometimes referred to as “supportive care.” The focus of palliative medicine is relieving pain and distressing symptoms, providing resources and helping patients and families plan for the time ahead. Palliative care starts with a question: What’s important to you? Some patients want to feel well enough to attend a wedding or family reunion. Others want to continue working, or to enjoy simple pleasures, such as a meal with friends. Patients may desire help planning around treatment, to mitigate side effects and have more energy for everyday life. The palliative team creates a plan to meet the patient’s goals. Care typically is provided by a palliative nurse practitioner (NP), who works with a patient’s existing physicians (including specialists), providing an added layer of care that considers a patient’s whole picture. The NP is skilled at managing complex symptoms and staying on top of them as conditions change. This can include treating nausea, shortness of breath, neuropathic 98 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2019-2020
pain, sleeplessness, constipation and other distressing conditions. The goal is helping people feel well enough to participate in their lives to the fullest extent. Living with illness can be a hard road. Palliative care serves to ease the journey for patients and their families. When is the right time for palliative care? For someone living with a chronic or serious illness, such as cancer, COPD, or diabetes, the answer is: Today. Studies have shown that those receiving early palliative care not only have improved quality of life, but less depression and in some cases, longer overall life expectancy. Palliative care is typically covered by private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid and provided wherever a patient resides. To access this specialty care, patients can talk to their physician or call the referral department of a palliative care provider. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Kelly Bastian, FNP-C, Managing Director of Agape Palliative Care and may be reached at 720-482-1988 or by email at kbastian@agape-healthcare.com.
