IS a CCRC Right for You? 2
Is a CCRC Right for You? Leaving home may be the biggest decision seniors make. Until, that is, they have to decide where they will live next. How do you make an informed decision? Seniors who are still independent, but no longer want the responsibility of caring for a home, have two primary choices when it comes to senior living communities: Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) or independent living communities. The difference is that a CCRC, or a lifecare community, offers a full continuum of care as a person ages, including independent living, assisted living and memory care. Seniors living in independent communities should plan for the time when they or their partners need more care. In a CCRC, they may be able to stay in their residence or move to a better equipped living situation on the same campus when the time comes. What distinguishes a CCRC is the ability to provide housing and services for a wide spectrum of care with the cost being included in the entrance and monthly fees. That same care and support in independent living communities is typically contracted through an outside home healthcare agency and comes with an additional cost. Before deciding on that next big move, here are some questions to ask about a CCRC you may interested in: n What is the entrance fee? And, what are the monthly fees? Greater Boston – SUMMER 2020 - WINTER 2021
Is any part of the entrance fee refundable to my family when I pass away? n How do the monthly fees increase as you require more care services? n What levels of care are offered (Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Nursing Care)? n What services and amenities are available at each level? n If I start in an Independent Living apartment, would I need to relocate for Assisted Living? n If I am in an Assisted Living residence, would I need to relocate for Memory Care? Nursing Care? n If my partner and I are living in an Independent Living or Assisted Living apartment and my partner needs more care, can my partner be moved to a different residence on campus to receive more care while I stay in the apartment I am in? n Am I eligible for a medical tax deduction? ~ n

What You Need to Know About Mild Cognitive Impairment
What You Need to Know About Mild Cognitive Impairment Have you or someone you know been forgetting things more often or having more trouble remembering words or completing familiar tasks? These slight changes in memory or other thinking abilities might be signs of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). They can also be accompanied by changes in mood and behavior, such as depression, anxiety, apathy, and irritability. People with MCI can experience difficulty remembering names, recalling words, and making simple step-by-step plans. Though having MCI does not make these tasks impossible and people remain mostly independent, it often causes a noticeable difference in memory and thinking. People who have MCI are at an increased risk for developing dementia, most often due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Ten to fifteen percent of patients with MCI progress to dementia each year. For approximately 60% of MCI patients, an MCI diagnosis represents the first symptomatic stage of the AD continuum. However, some patients with MCI do not progress to dementia, and MCI can also have causes other than AD, such as vascular dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies.
4 Greater Boston – SUMMER 2020 - WINTER 2021
Risk of developing MCI increases with age. Other risk factors include a family history of AD or other dementias, Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and depression. Though there is currently no FDA approved treatment for MCI, there are ways that have been scientifically shown to improve brain health. These include treating high blood pressure (even if it is only mildly elevated), engaging in aerobic exercise regularly (at least 30 minutes a day, 3-4 times per week), eating a healthy diet (eating more whole grains, vegetables, fish, and poultry and less red meat, fried food, and refined sugar), getting 7-8 hours of restful sleep each night, learning new things, and socializing with family and friends. It is important to see your doctor if you or a loved one notices or suspects a decline in memory and/or other thinking abilities. The Center for Brain / Mind Medicine (CBMM) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Memory Disorders Unit (MDU) at Massachusetts General Hospital can provide additional diagnosis and treatment services.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL
SeniorsBlueBook.com
Spending a little time putting your ducks in a row will help to alleviate some frustration. Asking a family member or friend for assistance may be beneficial. Proper planning will ensure the start of a great patient provider relationship. New clinic visits vary from practice to practice. It is best for you to understand how your provider’s office works as time flies by quickly in a visit. Prior to your visit, you should: n Know the reason why you are being referred for the visit. You may be asked to have clinic notes, imaging, labs, a provider referral or any recent hospital discharges sent, or a copy brought with you. n Educate yourself with your current insurance plan. The customer service number on the back of your card is great resource. Do I need a referral? n Bring a copy of your insurance card, including your RX coverage card and a photo ID. n Bring the name and address of your current pharmacy. n Bring all your current medications, including the strength, directions, prescribing provider and reason you are on this medication, including: all prescribed medication, all over the counter medication, any allergies to medications.
n
n
n
n
Spend some time making a brief outline of your medical history, especially the symptoms that relate to your referral. Obtain the correct address, office location, parking garage, and the best GPS address to use. Arrive 15-20 minutes prior to the appointment to allow for check in, document exchange, review, etc. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. If you wear glasses or hearing aids, bring them along.
During the visit: n Make a brief outline of your medical history and especially the symptoms that relate to why you are being referred, including when they started. n Bring a family member or friend to help document responses to your questions. n A neurological exam will be conducted during the visit. You may need to ask for clarification, or have a provider repeat themselves if anything is unclear.

A Little Planning he last five months have tested all of us and I’m sure at times we wish we had planned better for the unexpected. Unfortunately, at any time things can change rapidly whether it is our health, family, finances or other things we can’t predict. As we continue to live in this uncertain world maybe we should be looking into the future and planning a bit more. Below are a few areas to think about and some suggestions on people that can help you. As you look through Seniors Blue Book I’m confident you will find additional areas and if we can help please email Susan@seniorsBlueBook.com or give us a call 978-443-8318.

vide professional care and companionship for older adults and adults living with cognitive or medical challenges. ADH programs include a variety of health, social and support services in a safe, caring environment. When searching for an ADH Center for your loved one it’s important to look for licensed and accredited programs. You’ll also want to find a center that is local, affordable and offers the right level of care for your loved one. n L ocal.
It’s best to find an adult day health provider that is close to your home or work and has hours suited to your schedule. You may also want a program that offers transportation to and from the center. n Affordable. While other options including in-home health and nursing home care are typically more expensive than adult day health programs, you want to ensure that the program you select is affordable and fits within your budget. n Level of Care. Each ADH center offers its own unique programming. You’ll want to evaluate potential ADH programs on the activities they offer participants, health monitoring, nursing care and physical therapy services, nutrition offerings and services and accommodations for physically or visually impaired. While most ADH centers offer some level of the above services, you’ll also want to ensure that the program offers
support services tailored for you and your loved one. Caregiver Support Seeking support and maintaining your own health are key to managing your role as a caregiver. Many adult day health programs offer caregiver resources that provide information and referral services to support the care of your loved one. Inclusive Environment Massachusetts became the first state in the country to require all state-funded or licensed providers of services to older adults complete training in how to provide meaningful care of LGBT older adults and ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults can access services. Finding and selecting the right ADH program for you and your loved one can be daunting. Make sure you contact the centers you are interested in to discuss their program offerings and services. Visit the centers in person and observe the atmosphere, daily activities and staff interactions with participants. ~

End of Life Planning: Having Most of us have planned for major The Difficult life events: education, work, vacation, retirement. Yet many of us delay Conversation 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 32 Greater Boston – SUMMER 2020 - WINTER 2021
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. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Neptune Cremation Services which offers a free, comprehensive guide on cremation planning, along with many other useful resources, including how to store important documents, advance directives, designating power of attorney, wills and trusts, veterans’ benefits, and becoming an organ donor.

What You Need to Know About Mild Cognitive Impairment continued from page 4 specialist may include discussing your symptoms, testing of thinking abilities, and a physical exam. Receiving a diagnosis of MCI can be upsetting for patients and those close to them. However, there are concrete steps that can be taken in the face of such a diagnosis. First, lifestyle modifications as described above can help prevent further decline of memory and/or other thinking abilities. Additionally, the Center for Alzheimer Research and Treatment (CART) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers observational studies and clinical trials for individuals with MCI or dementia or those who have concerns about their memory. Such research stud-
ies are crucial for finding more effective treatments and preventative measures, and ultimately a cure for AD and related dementias in the future. For additional information contact us at cart@partners.org. Finally, there are many resources for patient and caregiver support, including the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Dementia Co-Management & Caregiver Support Program, who can be reached at dementiacaregiversupport@ mgh.harvard.edu and the Alzheimer’s Association (which has a 24/7 helpline: 800.272.3900). ~ Editor’s Note: This article was s ubmitted by Mass General Brigham.

The Covid-19 Pandemic has changed the world in many ways. One thing that has not changed, and has become more important, is the need to have legal planning in place if you get sick or worse. So, Powers of Attorney to have a trusted person in place to pay your bills and handle your finances; Health Care Proxies to have a someone in place to make medical decisions if you can’t make them for yourself; and estate planning documents like Wills and Trusts are even more important now than ever. Covid-19 also has put limits on how you can put these documents
in place. Seniors can’t easily or safely meet in an attorney’s office to discuss planning and to sign the documents, many of which need to be signed in the presence of witnesses and a notary public. Fortunately, we humans are a resourceful species and some solutions have been put into place so that you can get these important documents in place; such as: n
a computer, tablet or smartphone, using video conferencing software (ZOOM and similar), can allow meetings to take place between your lawyer and you remotely.

Estate Planning In A Pandemic continued n
n
if your lawyer and you are comfortable with you coming in to the office, many offices now have protective shields and air purifiers in place so that you can see and hear your lawyer in person safely with masks. meetings to execute documents can take place in many ways. There are three options my office has been using:
eet in person with the protective 1M safeguards (shields, masks and
air purifiers) with witnesses and the notary keeping social distance but still being in your presence to meet legal requirements. hen the documents are final2W ized, meet through a video con-
signing in the office parking lot where the notary and witnesses provide the documents through the car window and watch as they are executed (and no, you can’t get fries with that). assachusetts passed a remote 3M notarization law that allows
documents to be witnessed and notarized remotely using a computer or smart-phone (not easy or simple, but it works). If you haven’t done legal planning before or need to make changes to your plan, the Pandemic should not be an excuse not to do it now. ~
ference with the lawyer to confirm the choices you have made in the documents. Then follow up with a “drive in” document

Why Do We Pay More Attention To Our Vision Than Both your vision and your hearing are very important senses, and both Our Hearing? cause great difficulties if they don’t work effectively. Due to the way we use them, their loss affects us in different ways. Many adults get their vision checked regularly, so why do so many people ignore their ears? When you visit an optician, you look at a letter chart. If you have loss of vision, you may not be able to read the smaller letters because your eyes can’t focus on them. Another way to understand vision loss is to think of how we age. Over time, the eyes gradually lose their ability to focus. If you are farsighted, you know seeing things close to you – like reading – become more difficult. This loss of sensitivity to nearby objects does not vary; it is uniform. Like vision, our ears often gradually lose the ability to hear high frequencies, both through damage and aging. However, unlike vision loss, the actual effects of this are not uniform. Speech is made up of many different frequencies and tones. If we can’t hear high pitched sounds, we find it hard to understand specific letters such as f and s. This is because they contain high frequencies.

In contrast to vision loss where we miss chunks of vision, the loss of hearing sensitivity affects many parts of speech that are scattered throughout a conversation, so random bits of conversation get lost. When people struggle to see, they wear glasses. These “vision aids” help a broad range of people. Prescription glasses require a professional to check your vision, write a prescription and orders lenses specifically addressing your individual needs. The same is true with hearing solutions. Since modern hearing aid designs are discreet, stylish and come in a range of colors. many people now find old stigmas to be silly. The life-changing, cutting-edge hearing aid technology of today offers solutions for every type of hearing loss, age and lifestyle. If you hear and see well, your entire world is brighter. Having a hearing assessment* is as easy as a vision test. Plus, at HearingLife it’s complimentary. Make an appointment to get started.~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by HearingLife.

Alone Together: Easing Isolation A Checklist For Older Adults The CDC warns that older adults are at higher risk for dying if they catch COVID-19. To reduce risk of catching COVID-19, the CDC encourages older adults to limit their interactions with other people as much as possible, which means, we are mostly at home for the duration. Instead of social distancing, think physical distancing + social connection. Isn’t that a contradiction, you ask? During World War II the planting of victory gardens, and the rationing of gas, food, and clothing connected Americans of all ages, classes, and cultures in a shared effort to save these precious resources for soldiers. Now, mask wearing, sheltering in place, and washing our hands frequently limiting the spread of the virus connects us to neighbors, friends and family no matter where they are. Do these 10 things everyday to keep your spirits up: Call someone* (keep a list of family, friends, neighbors by your phone)

As baby boomers approach retirement, many may find themselves in different economic circumstances than what they planned for. Recent economic events have taught us the downside of risk, yet careful planning can help soften the impact. Northwestern Mutual says that your retirement plan can stay on track if you focus on these six key risks. n Health Care Risk. Rising medical and prescription drug costs, fewer employer-sponsored retiree benefits and limitations of Medicare are all impacting income and retirement savings. According to Medicare.gov, estimated health care costs for a 65-year-old range from $3,000 for someone in excellent health to $10,000 for someone in poor health, including premiums, deductibles and co-pays but not including long-term care, vision or dental expenses. n Inflation and Taxes: With inflation reducing purchasing power and taxes impacting liquidation strategies, less money will be available to spend or invest in retirement planning. n Longevity Risk: Americans are living longer and the possibility exists that they could outlive their resources. There is a 10 percent chance that a 65-year old male will live to 97 years of age and a 1 percent chance the same male will live to 105 years of age.
Legacy Risk: Many Americans want to leave a legacy, making an impact beyond their lifetime by leaving a financial gift to a loved one or a charity. It is necessary to balance this desire with the need to fund an individual’s retirement. n Long-term Care Risk: The cost of care for an unexpected event, or long-term illness not covered by private insurance or Medicare is requiring more Americans to prematurely deplete their assets. A 2009 LIMRA (Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association) survey of pre-retirees and retirees aged 55 to 75 found that health care and long-term care expenses together account for between 12 and 15 percent of retirement expenses, depending on the household income1. n Market Risk: Participating in the stock market can give an individual’s retirement savings and income the potential to keep pace with inflation, however, volatility in investment markets can significantly affect retirement income and savings. ~ n

However, millions of seniors age alone and do not have an available support system to help them age safely. According to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 20% of all male seniors and over a third of all women over 65 years of age and older live alone. For these “Solo Agers”, a constant worry is “what happens if I’m no longer able to physically care or make decisions for myself?” Without loved ones to look after them as they age, the risks are far greater that the solo ager will face financial exploitation, isolation, poor nutrition, and a host of other challenges. Other concerns may include: Who will assist in paying bills, manage household tasks, and bring in appropriate help if needed?; Who will notice if there’s been a decline in cognitive or physical abilities?; And who will hire and supervise in-home services or assist in moving the solo ager to a more appropriate living situation? Important steps for those flying solo:
1
Legal. Deciding who will step into your shoes and make your financial and health decisions is crucial. Working with an Estate Planning or Elder Law Attorney will help
ensure your wishes are reflected in your legal documents. All solo agers should have, at a minimum, their Massachusetts Health Care Proxy and Durable Power of Attorney documents in place. n If you have not executed these documents, a Probate Court Judge will appoint someone (“conservator” for finances and “guardian” for healthcare decisions) to make decisions on your behalf. This may not be the person you would have selected or make the decisions you would want. n

2
Evaluate your current and future home needs. Decide if you can reasonably age in place with questions such as: “What happens if my health declines?”; n “What if I stop driving?”; and n “Is it safe for me to still live in my current home?” n
If staying in your current home is not an option, available options to seniors include assisted and independent living. Other options include finding naturally occurring retirement or 55+ communities.

Build a network of support. Adults living alone can be isolated and are more apt to be a victim of financial exploitation. Finding someone trustworthy can

Create relationships such as: Finding someone trustworthy who can be trusted like family to you. n Have a team of trusted professionals who will carry out your life plan should an emergency arise. Your team might include a lawyer, geriatric care manager, and accountant or financial adviser. n Appoint a patient advocate if you need one. This can be a professional advocate or a friend that you’ve designated to come to the hospital and speak on your behalf. n
We are not as sharp at 80 years of age as we once were at 50. As our physical and intellectual capacities
diminish, we need to make sure we have plans in place. For solo seniors, the challenges are magnified without a close network of support.

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.

Its mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. The Association provides education to families, communities, and professionals, information on various topics surrounding dementia, and various support groups around the two-state Chapter. The Alzheimer’s Association also provides opportunities for people to get involved in research, and actively help find a cure for the disease.

The COVID-19 crisis has brought about radical changes for our society. In just a few weeks, the way we live, work and socialize have all changed dramatically. For some, these changes were manageable. But, for others, it means balancing mobility and safety concerns with new social distancing regulations. In recent days, we’ve learned that concerns related to the spread of coronavirus have led to a growing number of people being discharged from hospitals, assisted living and rehab facilities, earlier than expected. For many, these unexpected discharges mean returning to a home that cannot accommodate their accessibility needs. As one of the world’s leading stairlift suppliers, Stannah has seen first-hand the difference a stairlift can make. With this in mind, we’ve stepped up our efforts to meet the needs of the moment and help those who could benefit from a stairlift. In immediate response to the coronavirus outbreak, we’ve taken steps to make our process safer, including hosting remote appointments and performing contact-free installations. Remote appointments allow potential customers to “meet” with a Stannah representative over the phone or through a virtual call, using their favorite video chat app. This allows you to see our stairlift range, get pricing and even view a live demon-
stration in our showroom, all from the comfort and safety of your home. If you decide to move ahead with a stairlift purchase (or rental), we’ll schedule a time to conduct a contact-free installation. A contact-free installation is just that: an installation where you and our installers do not make direct physical contact. Our team is equipped with the proper safety equipment - masks, gloves and disinfectant wipes - but we take it one step further. At the time of installation, your installer will call to let you that they’ve arrived. They’ll ask you to leave the door unlocked and wait in a nearby room. If you have questions during the installation, you can speak to them from a safe distance. Once installation is completed, your stairlift can be demonstrated you from across the room (must be more than six feet away) or you can schedule a remote demonstration to be conducted by video. These new procedures allow someone in need to get a stairlift, without ever having to meet with us face-to-face. This is a difficult time, but we can get through it together by staying home safely. As always, Stannah is here when you need us. To get in touch, call 1-888-663-7538 or send us an email at info@stannah.com. ~

wonderful events like hitting that home run in the 9th grade and the birth of a daughter.
In addition to memories for major life events, much of our day relies on memory for less momentous information: remembering to pick up a prescription, remembering to pay the phone bill, telling that funny story about your trip to Florida. Through most of our lives, we can recall, with ease, information that helps us to be nostalgic with friends and complete our daily activities. As we age though, it seems remembering information can be challenging and often we are not confident in the information we recall. Everyday slip-ups, like occasionally forgetting to pick up a prescription, every once in a while forgetting the phone bill are common and, on their own, likely not indicative of a memory disorder. Other difficulties may be suggestive of something more serious. For example, becoming lost in familiar places or difficulty recognizing people you know well. Sometimes these kinds of memory problems are related to a medical condition or a progressive illness such as Alzheimer’s disease. If you have concerns about your memory, it is important to tell your doctor. If someone you know is
having memory problems, encourage them to talk with their doctor. Your healthcare provider may do a brief screening or may refer you to someone who has specialized training in memory testing. For those with significant memory problems, early detection can help to ensure an accurate diagnosis, provide a link to useful resources and information, and help to plan for the future. It is most important to remember to take care of yourself. ~

The Perkins Library Outreach Program Developed as a way to supple“Tele-Fun Calls“ ment the audiobooks we were not able to send to patrons due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the Perkins Library has created a program called “Tele-Fun Calls”.
These calls are weekly over-thephone activities where patrons join different programs and pastimes by calling a toll-free telephone number during regularly scheduled time blocks. We’ve built an entire program around activities that do not require sight and can be played over the phone with some slight modifications. These are recurring programs that happen every week. Patrons can call a special toll-free number and enter a special meeting ID to be connected with other Perkins Library patrons from across the state for a host of activities that can be enjoyed from home. There are activities scheduled for almost every day! Games like trivia, name-that-tune, and family feud, are hosted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1pm. We also have audio described
films during our Monday Movie Matinees every Monday at 10am, as well as a Listening Library hour with radio dramas Thursdays at 2:30pm. We are also planning on adding new content soon to include a poetry group and a virtual classroom where patrons can listen to audio-described educational videos and documentaries over the phone from the comfort of their own home. To join the fun you will first need to contact Beth at 617-972-7241 or email Elizabeth.White@perkins.org to sign up. Support for the Perkins Library Tele-Fun Activity Program is provided by the Dana Home Foundation, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and other donors. To become a member or to 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.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE
Home Care Heroes: In-Home Caregivers Provide Essential Services During COVID-19 Pandemic continued for the elderly. As the nation tries to find answers, in-home caregivers for the elderly remain resolute in delivering safe and compassionate personal care that is essential to the health and well-being of older adults. Older adults can rely on in-home caregivers to: Maintain Routines Predictable visits from an in-home caregiver can help seniors feel safe and comforted. Caregivers help maintain familiar routines such as bathing, dressing, grocery shopping, taking medication, and preparing and eating meals. Communicate With Loved Ones & Stay Engaged The virus has changed the way this most vulnerable population socializes and interacts. Caregivers can help seniors find new ways to connect, whether through setting up a new communications device or encouraging them to write letters. Caregivers can also support new ways to engage, such as participation in on-line classes or virtually touring cities or museums. Engagement with a caregiver reduces boredom and isolation which can be heightened during the pandemic. Their visits provide rewarding companionship. Stock Up Caregivers can help seniors obtain necessary household supplies by doing the shopping or arranging for

delivery of medication, groceries, and other goods. Give Peace Of Mind To Families When families can’t be with their loved ones, caregivers are there to monitor a senior’s health and overall well-being. Caregivers practice proper hygiene to reduce health risks. They exercise frequent handwashing and disinfecting inside a senior’s household to keep contagious illnesses and viruses at bay. They look for signs and symptoms of COVID-19, flu and other viruses, as well as depression and anxiety. Their efforts reassure families their loved ones are doing well, emotionally and physically. Providing Safe, High-Quality Care the Elderly Deserve Despite the challenges with COVID-19, home care agencies like Visiting Angels partner with families to provide essential home care services for older adults. Caregivers continue to be heroes, taking the necessary steps to protect the elderly and prevent the spread of COVID-19. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Karen Woodrow.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE
Women And Long Term Care Long-term care is an issue concerning many women. If you think about it long-term care needs really hit women twice; first in providing care to parents or other loved ones, and then later in life when women need long term care for themselves. (1) Not only are women are more likely to be the recipients of long-term care but they are also more likely to be caregivers than men. Women make up about 75 percent of nursing home residents, and seven out of ten unpaid caregivers are women. (2) Over half of American women over the age of 65 can expect to spend some time receiving long term care. Many people believe Medicaid and Medicare will pay for the whole cost of long term care, when in fact, that is not true. They will only pay about 8 percent of the cost in a nursing home. (3) Medicaid will pay for care, but that is only after you have reduced your assets to meet the state spend-down requirements. Women should not rely on Medicare and Medicaid to pay for the cost of long term care,
104 Greater Boston – SUMMER 2020 - WINTER 2021
according to the National Center on Women & Aging. It is important for women to plan early for long-term care, so the high cost does not threaten their financial security. A key reminder is the younger and healthier an individual is the less expensive the premium will be. Private long-term care insurance helps put women in control allowing them to decide where they will receive care, while providing less of a burden on family members. Women typically prefer to stay in their homes as they age, most longterm care insurance policies sold today will pay for home health care, in addition to nursing home care. ~ Editor’s note: This article was submitted by Laura Lynn Morrisey. LTCI protects your family’s health and gives everyone peace of mind. Don’t bear the burden of navigating LTC insurance alone.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS
Hospice Care Definitions continued retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility. RE-Respite Care – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Ideally, this service is provided for five consecutive days. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility, at no cost to the patient or the family. 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 level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period. CC-Continuous Care – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs. Continuous care also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable

to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team. 24/7 Admissions – Can a patient be admitted to the particular hospice agency 24/7? 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. Each hospice agency will have a grief and bereavement support program. Many provide grief groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting. 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. Many Hospice agencies utilize social workers to help find resources for indigent families. Licensed Massage Therapy – Massage has become one of the
RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL
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.

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.

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 131

senior housing definitions
Senior Housing Definitions
(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...)

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 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. ~ 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. See ad on page 1.

“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

inding appropriate F placement for people with atypical dementias is extremely difficult. Residents are often bounced from placement to placement, their behavior labeled as “problematic” or “aggressive”. The inability to adjust to a facility 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 152 Greater Boston – SUMMER 2020 - WINTER 2021
clinical assessment and behavioral management approaches. 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. 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 to be easily tracked and monitored using an extensive set of tools, collectively referred to as BCAT, to assess cognitive functioning, anxiety and depression and practical judgement. Success in the program is defined continuously, allowing the residents and their caregiver’s the opportunity to adjust and adapt, not only to track cognitive changes, but also to Continued on page 173

TRACH CARE - Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions.
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES
Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 138
VENTILATOR - Moves breatheable air into and out of the lungs, to provide the mechanism of breathing for a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or is breathing insufficiently. WANDERGUARD - Offered at some facilities. A resident with memory loss or confusion wears a small discrete pendant. Each external door in the care home is fitted with a radio detector which detects when a pendant moves near an exit. The WanderGuard will sound an audible alarm, alerting the staff of a patient wandering. ~
