A Full Mind and body approach to healthy aging

A Full Mind and Body Approach to Seniors have more options than Healthy Aging ever to pursue a healthy, social lifestyle in retirement. Often, staying healthy in retirement means making smart nutrition choices, planning for a rainy day and putting in the extra effort to make new friends while maintaining bonds with those who have been close for decades. At New Pond Village in Walpole, our community takes a comprehensive approach to helping residents age in the best way possible – conveniently in one place where fitness opportunities, nutrition options, financial security and social interaction are all part of the daily routine. Here are some tips that anyone can use to age well: Are you engaging in enough physical activity? Physical exercise is one of the best activities you can enjoy to keep your body and mind in top shape. Avoiding physical activity can lead to a reduced level of health and quality of life. At New Pond Village, our residents enjoy strolls on our walking paths, work up a sweat in our fitness center and even join an exercise class to achieve personal fitness goals. Another way to age healthily is by spending time in the great outdoors. Getting outside promotes relaxation and overall well-being. At New Pond Village, that often means residents enjoy a Sunday afternoon hike or

Greater Boston – SUMMER 2019 - WINTER 2020

spending time in the community garden. A trip to nearby Boston or Cape Cod also proves a popular option. The importance of social interactions for seniors should also be topof-mind. We have known for years that many seniors are at risk of feeling isolated, which, according to some studies, can leave a person at higher risk of developing dementia. Meanwhile, those who engage in daily social interaction may have a significantly lower risk. Our residents stay social by joining each other for activities throughout the day, enjoying a glass of wine at our newly renovated community bar, or by sharing a meal and conversation in our dining room. At New Pond Village, taking advantage of Lifecare also means that you have the confidence that comes with projecting the cost of future health care needs. And as a continuing care retirement community, New Pond Village is ready to meet your care needs in the future if they happen to increase. Aging is about taking care of the mind and the body and being deliberate each day in committing oneself to live well in retirement. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Adam Manchester, Executive Director.

What is “continuum of Care”?

What is a “Continuum of Care”? The phrase “continuum of care” has been around for a while – but not all providers are part of a true continuum when it comes to caring for seniors. Most providers involved in a continuum of care system offer opportunities for seniors to remain within a system that provides an array of services, often allowing a senior to “age in place,” knowing they don’t have to move or change caregivers, even as their healthcare needs change. A full continuum for senior care typically contains the following spectrum of senior housing and healthcare options; post-hospital rehabilitative care, dementia care services, traditional skilled, long-term nursing care, assisted living and senior living options, and hospice care. Breaking it down Skilled nursing services are devoted to people whose care needs require regular monitoring. This could be short-term for those who have been discharged from a hospital and need extra support time to recover, or those who need traditional longer-term nursing care. For shortterm patients, rehabilitative therapy services are available on-site, as often as needed and as prescribed for optimal recovery and health. When the focus of care is on activities of daily living rather than on skilled nursing, these individuals can often thrive in an assisted or independent living community. Traditional

Greater Boston – SUMMER 2019 - WINTER 2020

assisted and independent living communities offer apartments and often include daily activity programs, 24/7 staffing, three meals a day, medication monitoring, and more. The home health care segment of a continuum allows for individuals to remain in their current living environment, with the add-on of inhome support for medically complex patients. This care may be provided by of nurses, physical, occupational, speech-language therapists and home health care aides. Additionally, homemaker and companion service allows individuals the added support they need to maintain their maximum independence in their own home and may include medication reminders to assistance with personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, etc. Hospice professionals provide the physical, emotional, social and spiritual support to terminally ill patients, as well as their families and loved ones, while assisting patients and families to live with dignity and comfort as they cope with end-of-life issues. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Tim Brown, who is director of marketing and communications with Athena Health Care Systems and may be reached at 860.751.3900 or by email TBrown@AthenaHealthCare.com

SeniorsBlueBook.com A•A

Searching for the right adult day health (ADH) provider for your loved one is daunting. You have gone through the process of finding the right primary care physician, seeking specialists, and so many other supports that it may feel overwhelming to vet another service. This checklist is meant to help guide you in identifying the right person-environment fit when it comes to adult day health. Engaging programming. Each ADH center is unique in its size and structure. Would your loved one benefit from a smaller, more intimate group environment? Or a larger center with more space to roam and interact with others? Are there a variety of activities? Taking a tour during the middle of the program day can help to give you a firsthand understanding of what the day is like. n I ndividualized approach. While these are group settings, ADHs should be working with your loved one as an individual. Are they asking questions about their hobbies, likes and dislikes? Do they mention modifying activities, so they can continue to be enjoyed? What about a personalized care plan? n T he location is right. Is it a quick n

drive around the corner from home? Or on your way to and from work? The location must work with your schedule and needs. n C onsider transportation. Regardless of whether the particular center is right down the road or not, your schedule may not allow for drop off and/or pick up. Does the ADH have a vendor? Do they have their own vans or buses? How does scheduling work? n C ost is important. ADH programs are typically less expensive than other options, including home health aide services or nursing home care. What is your family’s budget for this? Going in for a tour knowing this in advance can help make the decision easier.

community resources and services

The Adult Day Health Checklist

No two programs will be alike, and it can take time to find what works best for your family. Take a tour, ask as many questions as you need, and know that even when you find a provider you are comfortable with it can take time for your loved one to adjust. It is part of the process, and an ADH can help every step along the way. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Michelle Holmberg, MA, the director of services for Cooperative Elder Services, Inc., and may be reached at 781863-1166 or by email at m.holmberg@ elderdayservices.org.

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed when you or a loved one is facing a new diagnosis or a loss. You may be struggling to cope, feeling sadness or uncertainty, and maybe guilt as well. Feeling alone or isolated in your grief or worry may make your situation feel even harder. Support groups can help. These bring together people who are going through a similar experience, whether it is illness, injury, grief and bereavement, or the ravages of dementia, the stresses of caregiving, or addiction in its many forms. There are many different kinds of support groups. A professionally facilitated group is led by an expert, such as a social worker or therapist, who keeps the discussion on topic, encourages interaction and makes sure no one person dominates the session. A peer support group has no designated leader, but is run by the members; this is the model used famously by Alcoholics Anonymous. There are online groups too, both ongoing and time-limited, which offer an alternative to people who are crunched for time, have limited choices in their location, or prefer anonymity. A simple Google or Facebook search will lead you to a myriad of options. Educational groups focus heavily on information sharing and feature a guest speaker and are often sponsored by associations (such as the Alzheimer’s Association), hospitals, and assisted livings or universities.

The benefits of support groups are well documented. Talking openly and honestly can relieve stress and anxiety. Members develop a clearer understanding of what to expect. Group members are able to get (and share) practical advice from others in the same situation. If you’re not sure which kind of support group is best for you, try out a few. I also recommend going more than once before deciding whether or not this is the group for you. If you need help finding or selecting a support group, please contact me. I can walk you through your options and help find the best fit for you. https://jfsmweldercare.org/ contact/

First Stop ASAP There are literally hundreds of listings for elder care resources. The good news is we are quite fortunate to have so many options. The bad news, however, is knowing where to start and determining what services are the right fit for you. Your designated ASAP could help. An ASAP, or Aging Services Access Point, is just that…a Point of Access to available Aging Services. There are 26 ASAPs, covering every city and town in Massachusetts. These are private, non-profit, state-designated agencies under contract with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs to provide seniors and caregivers with access to a variety of programs and services. Trained Information and Referral (I&R) Specialists as well as Options Counselors are available, free of charge, to field calls. I&R Specialists ask questions to assess the callers’ needs. They aim to help the caller understand their situations and empower them to make informed decisions about possible solutions. They have a vast knowledge of available resources, as well as the cost and qualifying criteria associated with the services. They conduct preliminary screenings to determine eligibility for subsidized home care, family

caregiver support, and/or home delivered meals. The caller will be asked questions about their age, physical limitations, diagnoses and income. If a caller is seeking more than a phone call, Options Counselors are available to provide a more in depth 1:1 phone or in person meeting. After the initial call, a meeting is scheduled for an intake assessment. From there, the senior has a Care Manager who helps coordinate their service plan and is their go-to person if their needs change. At any point in the process, referrals to other agencies can be made, in lieu of or in addition to, ASAP services. Each ASAP researches and maintains a directory of reputable community resources and are able to guide callers in the appropriate direction. ASAPs subscribe to the “no wrong door policy” and assist individuals living with a disability by directing them to appropriate agencies. To reach the Aging Services Access Point that serves your city or town, call 1-800-AGE-INFO or visit www.800ageinfo.com. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Debbie Fradkin, Community Relations Manager, HESSCO, the ASAP covering South Norfolk County, and may be reached at 781-784-4944 or DFradkin@verizon.net

making end-of-life plans. It’s natural that thinking about our mortality seems unpleasant or depressing. But there are important reasons to overcome hesitation about planning final arrangements and have “the conversation” with loved ones about your wishes: You have the opportunity to consider how you want to be memorialized; and talk about it with the people most important to you. n B y including your loved ones in the process, you can help prevent confusion, disagreement, and hurt feelings. Speaking honestly about an emotional issue can make your family bonds stronger. n Y our loved ones can be a valuable support system in your decision-making. n

In a survey by The Conversation Project, 90% of those interviewed said that talking with their loved ones about end-of-life care is important – but only 27% had actually done it. “The more organized you are, the less emotionally driven you’ll be,” says professor and consumer issues

author Kit Yarrow. Although your family may initially be uncomfortable, making your wishes known will ultimately save them the anxiety of making decisions at an already overwhelming time. And finding a trustworthy, affordable provider protects your loved ones financially. Many of us called on to make final arrangements for a loved one are doing it for the first time; the combination of inexperience and emotion can result in overspending, and possibly buying services and products we don’t need. Family members often describe the peace of mind in knowing final arrangements have been taken care of as the greatest gift their loved one could leave. ~

Ten Signs of Hearing Loss You Can’t If you had hearing loss, would you Afford to Miss know it? Not necessarily. Hearing loss starts subtly and symptoms take decades to appear as it progresses slowly over time. The most common type of hearing loss, age-related hearing loss (presbycusis), shifts so gradually that you may not realize what you are missing.

”People are mumbling.” Certain words are difficult to understand. People may seem to be talking too softly or not enunciating their words. Are restaurants too loud? Restaurant background noises, music and people speaking loudly make it challenging to follow a conversation. Social gatherings aren’t fun anymore. Talking, music, laughter and other competing sounds make it harder to take part in social situations. Conversations take effort. Are you exhausted at night, or an end of the meeting at work? The stress of straining to hear can take its toll on your wellness. Telephone conversations are a struggle. Do you struggle with phone calls? This may lead to avoiding calls and resort to texting. Hearing loss affects you and your loved ones. Hearing loss can take an emotional toll on your relationships.

High volume is a sign of hearing loss. Do others complain that you turn up the volume too loud when you watch television or listen to music? You may be experiencing hearing loss. Are your ears ringing? Tinnitus, can be the first sign of hearing loss. A slight “ringing” sound annoyance or you find it difficult to concentrate, sleep and work. According to the American Tinnitus Association, 56% of tinnitus sufferers also have hearing loss. You are out of balance. Hearing loss may be a sign of an underlying condition that is also impairing your balance. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University[ii] found that even a mild degree of hearing loss tripled the risk of an accidental fall. You withdraw from engaging with people. Afraid to join in because you may not understand what is being said? Perhaps you withdraw socially if it is easier to strain to hear people. Have any of these symptoms, there is good news. HearingLife can help you to cope with hearing loss so you can enjoy life again. ~

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Long-term care is something that most people may not think they need, or might think is covered by health insurance or Medicare.

You want the freedom to either stay at home, or get care at a good facility. Whatever choice you make, having a long-term care plan in place helps you afford it.

The fact is, if you live to be 65, there’s a 70% chance you’ll eventually need some kind of long-term care. But aging isn’t the only reason to plan for long-term care – it’s there for you if a chronic illness or disabling injury prevents you from living on your own or properly caring for yourself, no matter how old you are. Long-term care helps with day-to-day tasks like bathing, eating, getting dressed, and getting in and out of bed. And it includes care provided by nursing homes, assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, hospice facilities, and skilled nurses or home health aides in your (or your loved one’s) home. If you’re not the one who needs it, there’s a good chance you’ll need to help care for a loved one. And having a long-term care plan in place can help you continue to live well without sacrificing the income, investments, and savings you’ve worked so hard for.

ou want to be able to get quality Y care quickly. If something happens, a long-term care plan helps you have the funds ready when you need them.

community resources and services

What Is Long-term Care?

You want to protect your nest egg. Planning for long-term care can help prevent losing a lifetime of savings.

You want to be able to leave an inheritance. Long-term care planning helps keep your legacy intact for your family, friends, or charity.

You don’t want to rely on your children to take care of you. Let your loved ones be there for support without the burden of figuring out how to cover the cost of your care. ~

with advances in treatment and the right support there is much an individual with Parkinson’s disease can do to live every day to the fullest.

The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) is the country’s largest grassroots organization serving those touched by Parkinson’s disease. What makes APDA unique is that we are in cities, towns, and communities across the U.S. Throughout our nationwide network of Chapters and Information & Referral Centers, Centers for Advanced Research, Specialized programs in Young Onset, Veterans and Rehabilitation Resources, and countless support groups, we are able to quickly reach people and connect them to resources that will provide the best outcomes as they navigate Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological movement disorder. Over one million people live with Parkinson’s and there are 60,000 new cases each year in the U.S. alone. It can begin with a tremor, difficulty writing, stooped posture, stiff muscles, or slightly slurred speech; symptoms are different for every person. APDA’s mission is to provide information, education, and support to all impacted by the disease and to fund scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments and ultimately the cure. We take pride in the fact that we are in

your community and many others across the country serving people with Parkinson’s disease to provide support from the day of diagnosis throughout the Parkinson journey. We have also been a funding partner in most major Parkinson’s disease discoveries and we will continue to fund research initiatives that can stop the devastation of living with this disabling disease. APDA is here to help with: Health and wellness initiatives delivering programs to help people maintain independence and optimism starting at diagnosis n Education and support programs connecting people with Parkinson’s in local communities n Expedited and innovative research to develop promising clinical approaches and better outcomes and funding the next generation of scientists dedicated to finding new treatments and a cure.

Might Be At Risk Of Falling.

Falls pose a serious risk for seniors living on their own, but with a proactive approach, they can be prevented. Identifying signs that a loved one is at risk of falling is the first step to prevention and helping them live safer at home. If you observe the following behaviors in your loved one, it may be time to have a conversation with them and their doctor about a fall prevention plan. Increased Frequency Using the Restroom If your loved one is using the restroom with more frequency during the day, chances are it is affecting them at night as well. Navigating to the bathroom while half-asleep, in the dark can be a dangerous feat, which can lead to bumping into objects, tripping and injuries. Medications Have you’ve noticed a pattern of “furniture walking”? Is your loved one coasting from one piece of furniture to the next, leaning or steadying themselves by holding onto different surfaces while walking? Do they reach for support or use their hands to push up from their seat when standing? Maybe you have become their “runner”, fetching items for them because they have difficulty standing. These can be signs of leg weakness and poor balance. Besides low muscle tone, certain medications and in-

teractions may contribute to balance, vision, and coordination problems that can make them unsteady and increase their risk of falling. The Fear of Falling Do you notice hesitancy around the stairs? Perhaps your loved one has changed their morning routine, delaying coming down the stairs, until completing everything they need to do upstairs. If they have slowed down while traveling down or up the stairs, foot problems, muscle weakness, or balance issues may be at play. The fear of falling could also be a contributing factor, as it leads to reduced activity, limiting mobility and confidence as muscles weaken and flexibility and balance decrease. A short- or long-term solution for stairs is an important part of your fall prevention plan. Stannah offers stairlifts to rent or purchase. Visit www. stannah-stairlifts.com/sbb or call 1-888-663-7538 to learn more. ~

Those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces may be eligible for a broad range of benefits and services provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In Massachusetts, the VA’s Veterans Health Administration offers a comprehensive health benefits package, which includes a wide spectrum of geriatric and long-term care services for Veterans enrolled in its health care system. These services include inpatient, home- and community-based services. VA’s Geriatrics and Extended Care Services helps to optimize the health and well-being of Veterans with chronic conditions or life-limiting illness. GEC also serves Veterans of any age who are disabled or frail due to disease, aging or injury. VA offers Veterans an interdisciplinary team of clinical specialists and social workers who provide care for more than 9 million Veterans across the country. Older Veterans with multiple medical, functional or psychosocial problems, and those with geriatric challenges, receive in-depth assessment and treatment at VA sites of care across the state. Based on the assessment, Veterans may be eligible for several programs such as home-based primary care, contracted home health care, adult day health care, home hospice care, telehealth and nursing home care. VA’s nursing home program also includes contracted community nursing homes inspected by and approved by VA. This allows veterans to receive care near their families. Length of

stay through VA’s long-term care options can range from a few months to years, depending on a Veteran’s health needs. The first step toward eligibility in GEC is for a Veteran to first enroll in the VA health care system. To enroll in VA health care, Veterans must complete VA’s Form 10-10 EZ by applying in person at the Eligibility and Enrollment Office at any VA Medical Center, VA Community Clinic, or Vet Center. Veterans can also enroll by calling VA Boston Healthcare Outreach Coordinator, David Hencke at 857-364-5934. For more information about geriatrics and extended care in the VA New England Healthcare System, call 1-844-VA-CARES and ask to be connected to the Geriatrics and Extended Care team at the closest VA facility. A Veteran, or loved one, can also call 1-877-222-VETS (8387), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (EST), or contact your VA social worker. More information can also be found at: https://www.va.gov/geriatrics/, or by downloading the VA New England mobile phone application by searching VA New England in any application store. ~

have difficulty reading regular sized print.

This includes people who are blind, visually impaired, physically unable to hold a book or reading disabled. A special part of the Library of Congress, the Perkins Library is part of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) and serves the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts with accessible and completely free materials shipped right to your door. While many people only associate Perkins with vision loss, many more people may qualify for this service. Perhaps someone has 20/20 vision but the book is inaccessible. If a person has arthritis, paralysis, or any other condition which makes it difficult to hold a book or turn pages, they are also eligible. Eligible people apply to become a member of the Perkins Library by submitting a simple application. The application needs to be signed by a certifying authority (a doctor, social worker, activities director, or a medical or human service professional). Patrons can choose to have books sent based on their reading interests automatically or simply request titles over the phone or online. One book a month or ten books a week. The choice is theirs. Best of all: Everything is free!

Perkins audio books and magazines are delivered by mail via a door to door service – no postage needed. n Easy-to-use playback equipment is loaned free n The Library has access to over 18,000 books in Large Print. n Newspapers and magazines read over the phone. n Accessible voting materials. n The television schedule is even available. n Thousands of books can be downloaded any time of the day or night. n

Reading Never Sounded The Perkins Library is the free So Good… public library for people who

Like many public libraries, Perkins loans movies on DVD and Blu-Ray, but Perkins movies are special. All movies from Perkins have a separate sound track where a narrator describes key visual elements of the film so that a person with vision loss is not left guessing. The narrator speaks between the dialog not over it. A loyal patron reflecting on almost fifty years of using these services offered the following, “Talking Books have probably been the single most important influence on my entire life. Some people say we are what we eat; I think we are what we read.” To become a member or get more information about all of our free services please contact our Communications and Outreach Coordinator Erin Fragola by emailing erin.fragola@ perkins.org or calling toll-free 1-800-852-3133.

sodium daily. Avoid pre-packaged frozen meals from the grocery store, which usually contain high amounts of sodium and preservatives. n E at Calcium-Rich Foods. Calcium helps prevent osteoporosis, especially problematic for seniors prone to falling because it increases the likelihood of a bone break. The recommended daily allowance of calcium for people age 70+ is 1200mg per day. n H ydrate. By the time you’re thirsty you’re probably dehydrated, this means by the time some seniors feel thirsty the body’s fluid levels are already extremely low. Most older adults need around 64oz of fluid per day. n M ake Smoothies. Whole food smoothies loaded with fruits and vegetables are great because there’s an endless combination of ingredients to blend up, and they’re loaded with nutrients. n E at Breakfast. Skipping a meal, especially breakfast, isn’t a good idea. A balanced breakfast helps regulate metabolism and gives older adults the energy they

need to get through the day. Eat More Protein. Getting enough protein is important for muscle building. Most seniors should aim for 2-3 servings of high-protein foods each day, which amounts to roughly 50-55g. n A sk Your Healthcare Provider For Advice. Finally, ask your doctor or dietitian about your specific dietary needs, what foods to avoid, and foods to emphasize. Many healthcare providers can give you recipes and even offer classes for people wanting to improve their diet. n W hat If You Don’t Like Cooking. It’s tough to follow a healthy diet if you’re eating out all the time because restaurants tend to load up meals with fats, sugars, and salt, it’s the same with frozen meals from the grocery store, one exciting new options for seniors is to hire a personal chef, that can prepare affordable, homemade meals that meet your dietary needs. ~ n

Long Term Care Insurance: Who Benefits the Most? Policy Holders Do you have a plan to pay for longterm care (LTC) services? Long-term or Loved Ones? care insurance (LTCI) helps protect a policyholder’s income and assets against the financial risk of an LTC event. While people may think policyholders benefit the most, LTCI can protect the whole family. LTCI benefits policyholders in many ways, including the following:

resulting from an unexpected LTC event. Long Term Care Insurance doesn’t just help pay your LTC bills, they also offer care coordinators to answer questions and help make sure you’re getting the care you need. Here’s how family members and loved ones also benefit:

LTCI Protects Your Hard-Earned Income & Assets It’s no surprise that LTC services are expensive. According to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care Survey, it currently costs $48,000 per year to live in an assisted living facility. In 20 years, the cost is estimated jump to over $86,000 per year. LTCI protects policyholders from the financial burden of an LTC event so you can keep your hard-earned income and assets.

YOU Decide Where & How to Receive Care One of the best reasons to buy LTCI is to protect your ability to choose. LTCI can pay for home care several days a week or even 24-hour care if your needs increase over time. LTCI can also pay for assisted living at the location of your choice.

Fewer Surprises When there’s over a 50% chance of needing care in your lifetime planning ahead helps avoid the panic

Less Financial Strain & Care Coordination Many family members take on the time, physical strain, and financial expense of a loved one who needs LTC services. When covered by LTCI, your loved ones can focus on making sure you’re being properly taken cared for.

Protects Their Health & Offers Peace of Mind Caring for a loved one can be physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing over a long period of time; family caregivers are more prone to depression and even shorter lifespans. ~ Editor’s note: This article was submitted by Laura Lynn Morrisey.

like the best choice at first.

However, it’s not uncommon for those plans to change over time. Whether you’re concerned about physical health, unhappy with the costs of home maintenance or just bored of living alone, relocating to the right senior living community can bring peace of mind and years of happiness. Planning for longevity is key, so it’s important to evaluate options that accommodate your lifestyle in the short- and long-term. There are several types of senior living communities, but not all cab accommodate changes in health or sudden need for additional care. Although you may initially feel the most independent option would be a great fit, it’s worth considering if that could change in 10 or even 20 years. Communities with a continuum of care, from independent living to levels of assisted living, along with memory care and skilled nursing services, work well in the long-term and ensure you enjoy your golden years without having to relocate should your needs change. While you may not need assistance with tasks like personal care right now, it’s sensible to plan ahead for possible changes in health, mobility or cognitive function. Either way,

you’ll never be required to receive hands-on care if you don’t need it— but having the option is reassuring. Look for communities on a campus that can quickly provide recovery services on site rather than referring residents far away for treatment. A continuum of care retirement community (CCRC) usually offers short-term care centers to address cases of illness or injury; so, if you require rehabilitation after a hospital visit, the support is available at your community. Residents at CCRCs rarely require these services, but it is far easier to plan for an emergency knowing the care you need is nearby. And, in the cases where an individual does need short-term care or must transfer to long-term care for a chronic condition, they are never far from the friends and lifestyle they’ve come to know and love. ~

Finding the “Right Fit” in Senior Living for Today… and When it comes to retirement planning, the decision to age 10 Years from Now in place at home may feel

Editor’s Note: Family-owned and operated for more than 30 years, Wingate communities help older adults throughout New England find the right balance between independence and professional care. Many Wingate communities offer a continuum of care, including independent and assisted living residences with specialized memory care and skilled nursing services nearby, should individual needs ever change.

for the day. Licensed communities are prohibited by law to promote these services without a specific license. 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.

INDEPENDENT HOUSING – Apartments and communities for adults 55+ with little or no senior support services (e.g. no meals, etc...) INTERMEDIATE CARE – 24 hour inpatient care 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 meds from a nurse following a doctor’s orders and may receive outpatient rehab services. Facilities may use a nurse as a their consultant and the residents receive periodic assessments from a licensed practitioner.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

Senior Housing Definitions

MEDICAID WAIVER – An assisted living waiver may be used to transition individuals out of nursing facilities or to provide persons at risk of institutionalization with options for remaining in their communities. Assisted living waivers are designed to provide an alternative to more costly nursing home care. PRICE DEPENDENT ON LEVELS OF CARE – Flexible levels of service geared to accommodate different needs over time. Rates may vary depending on the changing levels of care while one maintains the same physical residence. Continued on page 175

ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

“Be Unique, Live Unique” A groundbreaking approach to serving residents with atypical dementias and other progressive neurological disorders. Research reinforces some realities the Aging Life Care Management industry has been aware of for some time. n

This unique approach has been to develop a therapeutic community that offers 3 types of engagement. Meaningful Engagement focused on person-centered engagement, i.e. evaluating what kind of activity is meaningful to the individual person.

inding appropriate placement for F people with atypical dementias is extremely difficult. esidents are often bounced from R placement to placement, their behavior labeled as “problematic” or “aggressive”. he inability to adjust to a facilT ity is seen as failing, resulting in being hospitalized and often over medicated.

All of which can lead to multiple hospitalizations, being rejected by even more facilities, and leaving families to place their loved one in their 40’s or 50’s in a skilled nursing home facility. To address these findings local experts working with Golden Pond have designed an approach to serve residents with atypical dementias and other progressive neurological disorders. The program has adopted the tag line: “Be Unique, Live Unique” to emphasize their dedication to providing customized, person centered care as well as accentuate their distinctive clinical assessment and behavioral management approaches. 142 Greater Boston – SUMMER 2019 - WINTER 2020

Purposeful Engagement where a team including Speech and Language therapists, can design individual plans focused on such things as executive function or communication strategies and Passive Engagement which can be as simple as sitting in the kitchen while staff is preparing food, experiencing aromas and finding successful connection with others. For each resident, an individualized program is created that specifically targets how the staff will engage the residents in these three different ways. This allows the functional abilities, changes in mood, or emotional status of each individual Continued on page 196

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

As a Certified Financial Planner™ specializing in elder care I am asked this question daily. Unfortunately, all too often the family’s immediate reaction is that care is too expensive to even consider. However, given what’s at stake, your life, this is not a question to be taken lightly. Here’s my advice, before coming to any set conclusions, ask yourself why you answered, “no.” Does it actually have to do with the facts of your financial picture, or is it more related to fear of the unknown? Families inquiring very often have a mixture of investments, income, insurance, and estate plans. So why do they feel insecure about the prospect of elder care? It’s because none of the information has come together in a meaningful way that plainly answers a few key points: What type of care can be afforded, for how long, and where. To help yourself through this process start by reviewing all your resources. Consider your assets, income, insurance, and the support of loved ones. Second, prioritize what’s most important to you during your elder care years. Third, proactively become educated on your options now that they’ve been narrowed down. Don’t wait for a crisis to push

you into deciding on where to receive care. Do it now while you have the time to make a well-informed choice. Lastly, don’t assume your first year receiving care mirrors your last. As health needs progress, so may your accommodations and costs. As you make your final decisions, be open minded to issues you may not yet be experiencing. Ask how dementia would be treated or immobility be accommodated. If you’re a couple, ask how care and room arrangements are handled in the event one spouse is significantly more infirmed than the other. POWWOW, LLC is offering free consultations to families looking to better understand the implications of elder care and transition. Receive a complimentary copy of our Transition Triggers workbook during your visit. ~

Can I Afford Elder Care?

Since his passing she has launched Powwow, LLC to help families navigate the challenges of elder care. She received a master’s degree in Personal Financial Planning from Bentley University and has held the CFP® designation since 2010. See ad on page 40.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Public Housing (PH) – affordable apartments for low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities. RESIDENTIAL HOME – Assisted living homes are private residential homes that typically have a small number of residents who live together and receive care from live-in caretakers. Adult family homes offer room and board for seniors who want a more private, home-like community. Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing are provided. Amenities and nursing services vary greatly between homes. Ask about their services when you tour. They are also referred to as personal board and care homes. Most accept private pay; Medicaid in some instances. RESPITE CARE / SHORT-TERM STAY – Otherwise known as a shortterm stay. Any provider of IL, AL, ALZ or SNF care can elect to provide fully furnished accommodations to a person for a short period of time.

Rates usually quoted on a daily basis and are typically inclusive of all services and amenities. RETIREMENT COMMUNITY – Housing designed specifically for mature adults. Typically Studio, 1 BR or 2 BR rental apartments with full kitchens, and private baths are available. Services include meal plans, transportation, housekeeping, laundry and maintenance. Amenities are usually abundant; formal libraries, computer stations, swimming pools, gardens, and other social gathering spaces. Rates are monthly, and are typically based on size/location of apartment.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Massage has become one of the fastest growing trends in therapy for hospice patients. 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; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients. 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 is not just a music performer, but actually trained in counseling and music. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide to their patients. 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 insurance. 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.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 122

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 197
