DEMENTIA FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES 2

What Is A Dementia Friendly In September of 2014, Christine Community? Alessandro from BayPath Elder Services led a group of Council on Aging Directors, Trish Pope from Marlborough, Kelly Burke from Northborough and Janice Long from Hudson, to a two-day workshop in Minneapolis to learn about Minnesota’s unique grassroots effort to help cities, towns and neighborhoods become dementia friendly.

All three COA directors came away inspired, and each of them, with the support of BayPath, is actively working towards becoming a Dementia Friendly Community. What does a DFC look like? While each community’s solutions will be different, the problem of combating the isolation that comes to individuals living with dementia and to their caregivers is the same. Information about DFC initiatives worldwide is readily available. At a supermarket in England, the store manager has an employee on each shift who has been trained in how to spot and help shoppers, often older and faithful patrons, who need help finding certain items or managing the checkout. The store manager describes it as building “cognitive ramps” to help his customers. The Parks and Recreation Department in Seattle, Washington advertises special regular walks at its parks for folks with dementia and their caregivers. They also sponsor special events, BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2017

like dancing and music presentations, designed especially to engage those who may have trouble remembering, but they definitely remember those 40’s dance tunes. At a restaurant in Minnesota called J. Arthur’s, every Saturday afternoon, one room gets set up as a Memory Café, a place where those with dementia and their friends and caregivers can go to mingle, enjoy music, and just get a break from being at home and often alone. The first Memory Café in Massachusetts, it turns out, was started in Marlborough, MA, by Tammy Pozerycki, who runs Pleasantries, a converted residence that operates as a day program for those with early-stage dementia. Her creation, the Create a Better Day Café, has been emulated around the state. To learn more about DFCs, watch the Dementia Friendly America’s video on Vimeo: https://vimeo. com/146033807. ~

Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Christina Alessandro, Executive Director for BayPath Elder Services and written by Arthur P. Bergeron chair of the Marlborough Action Team, for the COME 2 B Dementia Friendly community initiative.

CHANGING TIMES

“The Times….They Are There was a time when hospitals a-Changin” and skilled nursing facilities (SNF’s) would welcome you to their facilities with open arms, and gladly keep you there for as long as: 1) they thought they could help you, 2) your insurance (Medicare or Private) would pay for your stay. Keeping “the heads in the beds” was considered “good business”.

Then along came the Affordable Care Act, with the intent being to: 1) Reduce Costs, 2) Improve Quality of Care, 3) Increase Access to Care for all Americans. Love it or hate it, the 2010 law is continuing to affect the way hospitals and SNF’s behave. While the understanding of the changes and the adoption of new policies has been slow, it is happening and we all must understand how it impacts our lives. Many know that today, hospitals are being increasingly penalized for “re-admissions”, defined as a patient getting re-admitted within 30 days of discharge for the same condition. Hospitals are also getting very heavily scrutinized on what is called Medicare Spend per Beneficiary (MSPB), a comparative measure that evaluates how much a patient “costs” starting 3 days before, and ending 30 days after their discharge! To address some of these new challenges, many new payment model reforms have been introduced, such as “Bundled Payment for Care Initiative” (BPCI), using HMO-like tactics to manage care and costs. 4

BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2017

Bottom line, EVERYONE will be impacted. How? Patients will be moved quickly to the setting offering the LOWEST COST OF CARE, this is almost always to the HOME environment. To do this successfully, a hospital and SNF must work in concert to ensure successful discharges, earlier than they historically have, but with a much more effective COORDINATION OF CARE. This approach to TRANSITIONAL CARE places a premium on finding the best Home Health (medical), Home Care (personal care) and/or the best Assisted Living or Memory Care Community. If done correctly, the costs are kept down while the quality of care is increased, keeping the individual out of the hospital and SNF… EVERYONE WINS! Even more importantly, patients MUST ACCEPT the help, to transition home or into a supportive community swiftly and smoothly. The statistics speak for themselves…. those that accept help at home, or to move into an appropriate Assisted Living or Memory Care community, are much less likely to head back to the hospital or SNF! Isn’t that what we ALL want after all? ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Colin Preis, Owner of AMADA Senior Care specializing in Transitional Care. See their advertisement in Senior Blue Book to learn more about their services. See ad on page 5.

As we approach the colder months in New England and the weather changes so do our lives and potentially our need for different resources. You will notice a number of articles in this edition on Respite, an area a lot of us do not understand, but one that may offer additional help for you in the coming months whether you are recovering from an operation, experienced a recent fall or just want to try something different. You may also find the articles on other lesser known subjects such as Dementia Friendly Communities and technology to help the hearing impaired stay in touch with family and friends informative and educational. As always please let people know that you saw them in Seniors Blue Book, support our advertisers and let us know how we can improve. Call or email us directly anytime. We welcome your questions, suggestions and feedback. That’s how we can be sure that Seniors Blue Book will always remain the most comprehensive resource guide for everyone involved with the senior community in Boston Metro West.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com A•A

Trying to stay in your home, but need some assistance? Or are you a family caregiver who needs support? If so, then Adult Day Health services could be the answer to your questions and concerns. Adult Day Health programs help seniors stay in their homes and communities for as long as possible, by providing a safe, day-time environment with meaningful and therapeutic activities like exercise or gardening, as well as opportunities to socialize with peers and make new friends. Additional services include skilled nursing care, nutritious meals, social services, and door-to-door transportation. Family caregivers benefit from respite during the day, support and education. What should you look for when considering Adult Day Health? First, learn about your options by visiting the Massachusetts Adult Day Services Association website at www.madsa. net for a list of programs in your area. Next, call and schedule a visit at the one or two centers near you, to meet with the staff and gather more information. Be sure to ask what type of programs or activity groups are offered on a daily basis, what level of training the staff have, and how they assess participants’ needs. If memory care is needed, inquire about activities designed for those who have cognitive impairment and make sure

the center is secure. Your local Alzheimer’s Association chapter can also provide information about appropriate programs. Other things to consider include transportation services, policy for absences and payment options. While some Adult Day Health centers are private pay only, most accept MassHealth (Medicaid), State Home Care, Veterans’ Administration funds, and Senior Care Options plans. Sometimes private long-term care insurance policies will reimburse for Adult Day Health. Compared to assisted living or home care, Adult Day Health is often more accessible and affordable. Once you or your loved one starts attending an Adult Day Health program, it is important to try it out for at least two days a week, for four to six weeks, to give you an accurate sense of the program and level of adjustment to the new routine. Keep in mind that it is normal to be anxious or somewhat resistant at first, but most participants adjust well and have a good time. A quality program will recognize that seniors thrive emotionally and physically by having social connection with others, meaning, and purpose in their lives. ~

Can Evidence-Based Healthy Living Many programs are described Programs Really as being “evidence-based” but what does this really mean? Help? The Center for Healthy Aging at the National Council on Aging (NCOA) says that evidence-based programming translates tested program models or interventions into practical, effective community programs that can provide proven health benefits to participants. The evidence is evaluated by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), and they are based on research and provide an ideal model for giving older adults this information and support. In terms of health outcomes, some outstanding results have occurred when a commitment is made to any of the 6-week chronic disease self-management programs - small group education workshops developed at Stanford University for management of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, other conditions. Benefits include reduced pain and fatigue, improved range of motion, increased physical activity, elevated mood, improved psychological well-being and increased confidence in managing health. Health reform efforts, including the formation of accountable care organizations and patient centered medical homes, are driving the need for more wellness programs, particularly among older adults. Minuteman Senior Services offers these programs free to participants, thanks to private grant funding. We work in partnership

28 BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2107

with Councils on Aging, hospitals and physician practices, faith communities and other groups to help people prevent falls and better manage their chronic conditions. Each 6 week program is designed to help people develop the skills and confidence to manage their health condition, and is facilitated from a highly detailed manual by two leaders who have been trained and certified. Self-management helps reduce disease symptoms and improves quality of life, helping people be more active and independent, and active partners in their health. Techniques are taught to deal with pain, fatigue and physical limitations, and skills like goal-setting, problem-solving, and overcoming barriers are demonstrated. As class size is limited, group participants benefit not only from the evidence-based information provided, but also from the camaraderie that discussing challenges and offering support to others brings. Sign up for a class and see what a difference a 6 week program can make! To locate a program anywhere in Massachusetts, visit the Healthy Living Center for Excellence website at www.healthyliving4me.org and click on program schedule. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Patti Dubielak, Director of Marketing and Development, Minuteman Senior Services.

Keep Your Money Safe – In the good, old days, children Scams And played outside without fear. Americans left their doors unlocked How They Work at night. The thought of a robbery – or something worse – was incomprehensible. Unfortunately, we live in a different world now.

There are people who prey on others for their own financial gain. Sometimes, those criminals break into homes to steal goods and money. Other times, the crooks are harder to spot because they present themselves as people who are trying to help. While there are many ways that schemers attempt to dupe people out of their money, the two most common scams performed over the phone are the lottery winner and bail money scams. The lottery winner scam involves an unknown caller contacting the victim and explaining that he or she has been randomly selected to win money. The victim is requested to wire a small amount of money to “register” his or her account to receive the lottery winnings, which will never be paid to the victim because it is a scam. Another scam involves bail money. An unknown individual will contact the victim stating that they’re the

34 BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2017

victim’s grandchild or an attorney for the grandchild who has been arrested out of the country. They will instruct the victim to wire bail money to an account to have the grandchild set free. These criminals make their living by creating a reality that doesn’t truly exist, whether it is the stress of a grandchild who accidentally ended up in an international jail or the elation of winning money. They have honed their craft, and they know just how to manipulate people they have never even met to invest in their lives. They are persuasive and convincing, and can even be argumentative if victims decline their requests for money. If you find yourself in a situation like this, do not hesitate to simply hang up. Be wary when strangers call, and never share personal information over the phone. By taking these precautions, we can safeguard our savings and our families. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was contributed by Pennsylvania State Rep. Bryan Cutler.

Stay Connected to Family As we age, feelings of isolation and Friends and loneliness can negatively impact our health and well-being. Hearing loss can intensify the problem, starting down a path from which it is difficult to recover.

Providing the ability to connect and communicate with family and friends is a powerful tool in relieving that sense of isolation. The telephone is likely viewed as the quickest and easiest way to keep in touch. If you have difficulty hearing on the phone, it can become so frustrating that you stop using the phone altogether, but there are solutions available that can have an immediate impact on your life. With Hamilton CapTel® you can experience clarity and confidence on every call with Captioned Telephone (CapTel), a no-cost* service that allows users to listen while reading word-for-word captions of what’s said to them over the phone. A CapTel phone works like any other telephone with one important addition: it displays every word the other person says throughout the conversation. When the person you are calling answers, everything that he or she says is displayed on the bright, display screen of the CapTel phone. CapTel service is also available on the go – you can use Hamilton Cap-

Six Risks to Be Prepared Long-Term Care Costs and Rising for in Retirement Healthcare Costs Top the List 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 H ealth 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 I nflation 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 L ongevity 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.

60 BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2017

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 L ong-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

Is a Respite Stay in Assisted Living Right for You? Respite stays within Assisted

Living are often utilized for a myriad of reasons.

Respite stays are designed to be a short term arrangement, usually less than 90 days, and can be as short as 7 days. The Executive Office of Elder Affairs authorizes and governs Assisted Living Residences as a way to provide a combination of residential housing and individualized personal care services to elders. Assisted Living has become an essential option in the continuum of care that aids elders as they age in place in their communities. Activities of Daily Living assistance are defined as requiring help with the following: eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (walking) and continence. Although a resident may require help with any or all ADL’s, this assistance is provided within a model of providing privacy, dignity, autonomy and individuality. Respite stays may be considered for: a post hospital or rehabilitation stay prior to returning home; when a family or caregivers are requiring a rest or vacationing, in an emergency situation if there’s a need for an alternate care giver, and as a way to evaluate if Assisted Living is a good fit for an elder. Short term respites are typically inclusive of the services the communities provide such as: fully furnished apartments, three

70 BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2017

daily meals, daily supportive care, social calendar of events, television and phone service, safety pendant call system, transportation to medical appointments, housekeeping and medication management. Respite care can also be provided in Special Care Units (SCUs) specific for Dementia Care, Behavioral Health, and Neurocognitive Conditions. When considering a respite stay, whether in a traditional, residential model of care or Special Care unit level of care, be sure to ask your provider what services are available and what ancillary services (Physical therapy, Occupational therapy or Speech therapy and Visiting Nurse services) may be brought into a residence as to enhance the quality of life of an individual during the respite stay. When you are considering a respite stay, remember the benefits are not just for the individual, but for families and care-givers alike. Respite stays are a unique way of supporting primary caregivers and preventing “care giver burn-out”, all while supporting the individual in a nurturing and supportive environment. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Dr. Jennifer Belesi, Marketing Director at Orchard Hill Assisted Living located in Sudbury, Massachusetts.

What is “Program for All-inclusive Care for Many of us wish to remain in our the Elderly” (PACE) homes as we age, however we find with each year it is more difficult to coordinate all the medically necessary services to live safely in the community. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) may be the answer.

PACE is a National program for adults 55+ who have health needs that affect their daily lives. PACE is administered by MassHealth and Medicare to provide a wide range of medical, social, recreational, and wellness services to eligible participants. The goal of PACE is to allow participants to live safely in their homes and/or community setting. When you enroll in the PACE program, you receive all primary care and social day in one place—a PACE center. If you decide to join PACE, you must go to doctors and other providers who are in the PACE provider network. PACE will assign you an experienced team of health care and social service professionals to help create your personal care plan and help you follow it. The Team is Interdisciplinary and is comprised of a professional team of Geriatric Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Social Workers, Occupational, Physical and Speech Therapists, Mental Health Providers, Nutritionists and Recreational Therapists. Services include: Family Caregiver Support, Personal Care and Homemaking, Day Health Center for Meals and Activities, In-Home Services,

Transportation and Meals, Physical, Occupational and Recreational therapies, Primary Health Care, Specialty Care including Podiatry, Dental, Optometry and Audiology, Prescription Drugs, Medical Supplies and Equipment, Emergency Care, Hospital Care and Nursing Home Care. To enroll in PACE you must be 55+ live in the service area of a PACE organization; n be certified by the state as eligible; n live in the community safely; n agree to receive health services exclusively through the PACE organization; and n meet the Social Security Act Title XVI disability standards, if 55 through 64 years of age. n

You do not need to be on MassHealth to enroll in PACE. However, if you meet the income and asset guidelines you may be eligible for MassHealth and MassHealth may pay your PACE premium.

half are told of their diagnosis by their primary care provider?

Here at the Alzheimer’s Association, we are aiming to change the way dementia care is practiced by bridging the gap between services for families and care providers with our Direct Referral Initiative. This initiative establishes a relationship with primary care providers to ensure that people with dementia and their caregivers are provided with support and resources earlier in the disease process starting with a primary care physician sending a direct referral to the Alzheimer’s Association after having received consent. The goal of this initiative is to have an impact on overall increased satisfaction with care, caregiver education; less perceived caregiver stress and burn out, amongst many other positive outcomes. Talk to your primary care physician about collaborating with us today! The Alzheimer’s Association works on a global, national, and local level to enhance care and support for all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. We provide education to families, communities, and professionals, we provide information on various topics surrounding de-

mentia, and we have various support groups around our two-state Chapter, amongst many other services we are here to provide. Our 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. We are here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our programs. The Alzheimer’s Association Helpline is available 24/7 to provide reliable information and support to all those who need assistance. Call us toll-free anytime day or night at 1.800.272.3900. Our 24/7 Helpline serves people with memory loss, caregivers, health care professionals, and the public. To meet the increasing demands for service and support, we have expanded programs, and have five offices around Massachusetts and New Hampshire: Watertown, Raynham, Springfield and Worcester, MA and Bedford, NH. ~

Parkinson’s Disease – A diagnosis of Parkinson’s is a Support for You life-changing moment. However, 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.

Veterans Benefits – You Earned Veterans – You might be surprised Them – So Use at what you are missing. Them! Many older Veterans never look into their VA Healthcare benefits, believing they are reserved primarily for the most disabled veterans or those with the least amount of money. Please don’t make that mistake. Talk to your fellow Veterans at the VFW, The Legion or to the VSO at your town hall or senior center. The VSO, your local Veterans Service officer, is an added benefit for Massachusetts Veterans (See article on why you should contact your VSO.) For a second opinion, seek out Veterans who get their care at the VA. The VA can provide access to an entire Primary Care Team. That team will communicate with each other on a regular basis about YOUR care and how to help you reach your health goals. You can go to the VA and still continue with your community based Primary Care Provider or choose to get all your medical needs from the wide assortment of services available at the VA Boston. According to the 2012 U.S. Census, there are in excess of 12.4 million Veterans age 65 or older. As Veterans age, the VA is ready to address a variety of issues including your changing health risks. Veterans, like most older Americans, wish to stay in their home independently as long as safely possibly. The VA has resources focused on making this a reality, including:

ome Based Primary Care, H intended for Veterans that have difficulty keeping and maintaining their medical appointments, is a unique benefit that brings the entire Primary care team to your home to provide medical care. n Telehealth, a great option for Veterans that have cardiac concerns in addition to other medical issues, is a daily monitoring of vital signs through a nurse who keeps in telephone contact with you providing support and guidance if there is a change in your blood pressure, weight or blood sugar. n Mail order medications n In home respite and in patient respite. n

The VA will pay for attendance at an Adult Day Program with other Veterans in the community contracted by the VA. This gives Veterans socialization opportunities and provides respite for caregivers to attend to their own needs while their loved one is getting care. The VA also provides glasses, hearing aids, orthotic shoes and medical equipment such as scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, canes, a life alert button that when pressed calls 911 and possibly a chair lift, if eligible.

The VA has a robust Mental Health clinic for older Veterans. As people retire many look back on their life and make meaning of it or try to resolve things that have been troubling them. The VA has several time limited groups and longer term groups on Brain Health, Insomnia, Acceptance, and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness. These groups are a great way to meet other older Veterans, retired and living at home looking to meet other people and find healthy activities.

potential Home Care Agencies.

A question of serious consideration is caregiver continuity. Families should inquire of potential agencies as to how many caregivers will be taking care of their loved one and will they be the same caregivers. The continuity of caregivers is of the up-

most importance for care recipients that have cognitive challenges such as brain injuries, Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia. Many different caregivers arriving to care for the cognitively challenged can cause stress and confusion. Caregivers that are familiar to the care recipient and know how to interact with them makes the care experience much more pleasurable and successful. Continuity of caregivers is very helpful to involved family members. Consistent caregiv-

ers know the client’s daily routine, where things belong, how things are done around the home and the timing of key activities such as medications, bathing and meals. It is very important that a caregiver team be created, trained and familiar with a care recipient. The caregiver team concept is especially true for clients who receive many hours of care. A caregiver team will know a client’s baseline and observe changes, both positive and negative, that will be communicated to the family. Caregivers that work together will provide the best care experience for the care recipient and the family. A team will also provide coverage for each other during absences so that that family does not have to step in to provide care coverage. ~

The Importance There are many questions families of Caregiver should be asking during the due diligence process of interviewing Continuity

The transition home after a health care stay can be exciting but also overwhelming and intimidating. When a person is at a health care facility, hospital, nursing home or rehab hospital, for rehabilitation or other skilled services, they have the security of knowing caregivers are there as are many other medical supports. The goal of most people is to go home! In order to do that it is helpful to have transition services in place. Going home on its own is a transition. There are obstacles that are unexpected and challenging. Beyond the physical challenges of readjusting to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home environment, there is also the emotional side. Many people feel anxious at the thought of being home alone after a stay at a health care facility. There are services available for those first few days home. Some of the transition tasks that can be done by a caregiver are: picking up prescriptions, cleaning out the refrigerator, changing the bed, showering, toileting, doing laundry,

preparing meals, providing medication reminders, transporting to follow up appointments and much more. Those are the physical tasks. The emotional security of having a caregiver available during the first few days at home can bring piece of mind and confidence. Having those supports decreases your risk for re-hospitalization. There is also technology available in the home. Telehealth is available by many providers. Telehealth allows for 7 days a week monitoring by a nurse. The telehealth monitors most commonly used offer: blood pressure, pulse oximetry, and weight readings. The vital signs are remotely transmitted daily to a nurse for review. Having the oversight of a nurse 7 days a week can be what makes the difference for a patient being able to stay in their home. Be informed about what services are available to help you go home and stay home successfully. ~

RE-Respite Care – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Ideally, this

118 BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2017

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 Continued on next page

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 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 agency. Continued on page 124 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 119

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 119 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. 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. ~

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

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

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.

What Should You Look for There is a great deal to think about In an Adult – it is, after all, your future you are planning. Community? The truth is the process can be a rewarding one resulting in a better understanding of what you require and what you want, bringing about a gratifying lifestyle change. Before you begin, take into account your current needs and possible changes in them over time, as well as your financial situation. Once you have done that, you can start looking at your options. Information on communities can be easily attained by visiting their websites, or calling and requesting brochures. When you have narrowed down your possibilities, schedule visits at times that are convenient for you– spacing visits out enough to avoid information overload. Below is a handy initial evaluation checklist that will help you quickly slim down your options. It includes topics that you may not normally think to consider, and allows you to more easily compare one community to another. After each visit, ask yourself: n Is the location close to shops, doctor’s offices, a pharmacy, and other destinations important to me?

the location convenient for Is family and friends? If the facility is not in my town, are there hotels nearby for when family visits? n What living arrangements are available – apartments, private rooms, shared rooms? n What are the fees and what is included? n Are the buildings and the grounds well-kept and attractive? n Are the common spaces pleasant and appealing? n How many rooms are there where residents can spend time with each other and with visiting family members? n Are the dining rooms clean and attractive? Can the community cater to specific dietary needs or special requests? n Do I like the food? Can visiting family members join me for meals? n Is there a private room available for family celebrations or private family dinners? n Is there a posted, varied schedule of activities and events, and do they interest me? n

How Do I Know If Mom Needs As a nurse in the assisted living Assisted Living? industry, one of the top questions I get from families is “How do I know if my parent is doing OK at home alone?”

It is such an important question and one that often gets overlooked until there is a medical event or emergency that prompts families to make a quick decision. Recognizing the early signs that your loved one may need more help can help to preserve their independence for as long as possible. If you are concerned about the wellbeing of an elderly parent or loved one, look for these signs on your next visit to determine whether it’s time to suggest a more supportive living arrangement:

Signs of isolation or depression. Find out if they are spending time with friends, getting out of the house enough, still finding hobbies and activities to hold their interest. Noticeable weight loss, increased frailty, changes in appearance Expired, discontinued or duplicate medications and prescription bottles Expired food, signs of a kitchen fire, a freezer full of microwavable dinners, multiples of the same item, broken or unused appliances Excess clutter, grubby bathrooms, dried spills and other signs that housekeeping is becoming too much Lots of unopened mail, past due bills, letters from creditors, or

evidence of donations to charities. Dashboard warning lights, dents in their car or signs of impaired driving Most often, seniors and families feel the time is right for assisted living when there are signs of isolation or loneliness, if safety is an issue such as the potential for a medication error or a high risk of falling, or if proper nutrition becomes a concern. Assisted Living communities offer healthful homemade meals, medication management, daily entertainment, learning opportunities and events, 24-hour personal care assistance, an independent apartment, plus no more shoveling snow, no yard maintenance, no plumbers, electricians, or roofers. The safe, secure and social environment of assisted living can preserve a senior’s independence and provide family members peace of mind. If you have questions about assisted living, Senior Living Residences offers a family resource guide that can aid in your research process, help sort out financial issues, and provide the information you need so that you can make the best decision for your family. ~

Special Occasions and Holidays with Celebrating special occasions and a Loved One with holidays with a loved one with memory loss may require improvisMemory Loss ing new ways of carrying out family traditions, accepting that what once brought pleasure may yield only frustration, and that the stress of caregiving can seem overwhelming. Especially during the holiday season, caregivers may feel frustrated, sad or resentful. These emotions are completely normal and not a sign that you are failing in some way. Accept these emotions as they come, adjust your expectations and give yourself permission to do only what you can reasonably manage. With planning, traditions can be changed or modified to bring joy to the individual affected by memory loss, the caregivers and the entire family. If you do anticipate the holidays being difficult, consider the following suggestions:

Plan for a holiday season that will meet your current needs. Consider holding a family meeting to review holiday traditions and to decide what to continue, what to eliminate and what new traditions to begin. Set realistic expectations. Sets limits about what you and your loved one can and cannot do. Avoid

situations that will further confuse your loved one including loud music and conversations, strange or different surroundings, and an overindulgence in rich foods or alcohol. If you wish to include your loved one in the usual festivities, be sure you have a plan for someone to leave early with them if necessary. If participating in the usual, or even simplified festivities, proves too challenging, reliving happy memories by singing old holiday songs, flipping through picture albums or reminiscing with a box of wellworn ornaments may be a source of comfort and joy for you and your loved one. Find those activities that sustain you. More than ever, you are likely to need someone with whom you can talk openly about your feelings. Exercise, meditate – whatever you choose- strive to carve out a few minutes of every day for you. With careful thought and planning, you, your family and your loved one will be able to share a meaningful holiday season. ~

MEMORY CARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

Respite as a Link Between Let’s say you experience a fall at Short-Term Rehab home, resulting in a broken hip. You promptly have surgery, then and Home spend the next few weeks at a short-term rehab facility, where you rest, heal and work to regain your physical functionality. What comes next? Should you return home immediately and resume your pre-surgery routine?

Many seniors feel anxious about returning home immediately after rehab. They crave the independence and routine of their home life, but they’re worried about their health and safety. In rehab, they had the security of knowing that help was always available with a push of the button—if something happened, they weren’t alone. Respite care can be an excellent solution for discharged rehab patients who feel they need a bit more support before heading home. Respite care is a service offered by many assisted living and senior healthcare communities. Think of a respite stay as a link between rehabilitation and your everyday life at home. In a respite stay, a certain level of independence is combined with readily available care and assistance from trained professionals, allowing you to ease back into your everyday life. In many respite care settings, you’ll have the privacy of your own apartment or room. You can socialize with other seniors in a pleasant, 170 BOSTON METRO WEST – FALL 2016 - SPRING 2107

relaxed setting that will enable you to focus on healing. It’s a less clinical experience than short-term rehab, but it provides you with the peace of mind that comes with round-theclock care, making it a great transitional tool. Respite care serves a couple purposes. First, even after rehab you might not really feel like yourself, physically-speaking. You might have some lingering soreness or discomfort, or you might just have to get used to certain actions again, such as climbing the stairs or dressing yourself. Respite care gives you that opportunity. Second, even if you’re 100 percent recovered physically, there’s still the mental side of the equation. You need to gain back the confidence that’s necessary to live independently. You need to get to a place where you’re comfortable with your body and understand your limitations. A respite stay is relatively short term, usually no more than a month. And if you or someone you know is hesitant to return home immediately after a short-term rehab stay, it’s certainly an option worth considering. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Rodney Gonsalves, Regional Vice President of Operations at Wingate Healthcare.

WARNING SIGNS OF A STROKE

Warning Signs of Stroke

Learn the many warning signs of a stroke. Act fast and call 911 immediately at any sign of a stroke. Use FAST to remember warning signs:

F ACE

Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A RMS

Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S PEECH Ask the person to say a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?

T IME

If you observe any of these signs, call 911 immediately.

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. ~
