Facing Infection Head On Infections are frightening – just ask anyone with an imminent surgery, joint replacement, or hospital stay, and many will tell you their biggest concern is developing an infection while there. And their fear is not unwarranted. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 25 patients will have at least one infection following their hospital stay. Also known as HAIs (healthcare-acquired infections), many infections are the result of germs picked up during a hospital stay, resulting in issues such as pneumonia, gastrointestinal illness, or sepsis. The tricky part … HAIs aren’t necessarily revealed at the hospital; they can develop as much as a week or month after going home. Which means both you, and your home health care team, need to be especially vigilant. RVNA home health nurses, therapists, and aides — who treat patients following discharge from a hospital or facility — are highly-skilled and trained in assessing for infections and administering appropriate interventions when appropriate. They monitor patients at every visit, testing for fever, tracking wounds that aren’t healing, monitoring the warning signs, and referring patients

to their physicians immediately if an infection is identified or suspected. Common signs of infection include chills or generally feeling unwell; discharge at the wound or surgical site; increased pain/tenderness; and fever, particularly when combined with increased swelling, redness, and warmth at the site. All RVNA clinicians also practice “universal precautions” for infection control and prevention— hand washing, glove wearing, and the rigorous protocols added when treating a patient with a wound. While most infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics if identified early, it’s important to understand that, as a healthcare consumer, you must also be your own best advocate. Check your surgeon’s or physician’s infection history; monitor the signs of infection; keep all follow-up appointments after returning home from the hospital; and don’t be afraid to speak up if your healthcare personnel aren’t following universal precautions when administering treatment. Infections are frightening, but they are neither inevitable nor untreatable. Your best defense is a good offense: remember the signs, advocate for yourself and, when possible, return home from the hospital or facility as soon as possible with an Continued on page 67

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

The Role of the Adult Day Center Where can an aging adult go to socialize, laugh, sing, exercise, receive health care and eat well balanced, nutritious meals? Many adult day centers offer these benefits and more for aging adults who require additional assistance during the day due to health reasons. Currently there are 4,600 adult day centers in the United States serving approximately 260,000 aging adults, younger persons with disabilities, and caregivers. Estimates show a 63% increase in the number of people serviced by adult day centers since 2002, reflecting the trend that Americans are aging and require professional support services for those with dementia or other cognitive impairments. There are generally two types of adult day care centers: those that focus primarily on social interaction and those that offer medical care. Some centers, such as River House, offer both. According to the National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA) the average participant that attends a day center is a 72-year-old female who lives with adult children or their spouse. A little over half of those utilizing day service centers have some form of cognitive impairment and more than half require assistance with at least two daily living activities. At an adult day center, whether it is a social or medical model, the aging adult greatly benefits from active engagement. Medical model centers offer added benefits by providing health

monitoring and individualized care. Caregivers benefit from reliable, professional, compassionate services for their loved one. They offer respite time for the caregiver to recharge their batteries; the caregiver need not quit their jobs or neglect their own health. The result is better health and well-being for families. An adult day center also offers family support such as counseling and provides caregivers links to community resources and other service providers. Lastly, the center can play a key role in the continuum of life for aging adults. After working for many years and easing into retirement, older adults may not engage with others as much as they used to. They may have to stop driving, and then find themselves staying home, isolated from others. Friends and family may die, or move way, leaving an older adult without the companionship they once had. A day center can offer a lonely person a new place to meet people and engage with others. Evidence shows that participants who regularly attend a day center show improved quality of life. The bottom line is that adult day care centers offer a cost effective alternative to other long-term care options and allow aging adults to stay engaged in their communities and at home with their families. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Donna Spellman, MS, Executive Director, River House Adult Day Center.

New Hope for Medicare Recipients Impacted by “Observation Being in the hospital in an Observation Status comes as a rude awakStatus” Rules ening to many seniors. Being placed in a room has always meant you were being admitted. Right? Nope, at best that would be a big maybe. Being in the hospital in an Observation Status comes as a rude awakening to many seniors. Being placed in a room has always meant you were being admitted. Right? Nope, at best that would be a big maybe. In 2013 it was called the “two-midnight rule” to help clarify defining observation status, but that’s changed. An unintended consequence of this rule and to avoid denial of payments by Medicare for hospital admissions challenged by Medicare auditors, hospitals have increased the use of observation visits. The ramification of this change has proven to be costly to many patients who unwittingly thought that they were admitted as inpatients. According to a New York Times article New Medicare Law to Notify Patients of Loophole in Nursing Home Coverage “Hospitals have found themselves in a squeeze. They increased their use of “observation status” in response to scrutiny of their billing practices by Medicare auditors — private companies hired by the government to review claims. In many cases, these companies challenged decisions by doctors to admit patients to a hospital, say-

ing the services should have been provided on an outpatient basis. The auditors then tried to recover what they described as improper payments [from the hospitals]. Doctors and hospitals said the auditors were like bounty hunters because they could keep a percentage of the funds they recovered.” Unfortunately, this shifts the cost to the patient. While observation patients may share in the use of services with admitted patients their status may deny them reimbursement for some of those costs. More importantly, because Medicare requires any patient moving into a skilled nursing facility (SNF) to have been inpatient in an acute care hospital for a minimum of 3 days. Therefore, without the required 3 days as an inpatient, any costs of the skilled care are borne by the patient As reported by law firm Lamson and Cutner, P.C. in an article titled Hospital Inpatient vs. Outpatient Observation Status – Why It’s Important “A sensible question to ask is: Why are hospitals admitting some patients under observation status rather than as inpatients? The answer may be found at least partly in the financial penalties Medicare imposes on hospitals if more than a certain Continued on page 63

What to Consider About Medicare nal Medicare. These plans include all the benefits of Original Medicare and many plans also have Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage). Additionally, some may have extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and membership to a fitness program.

Nearly 60 million consumers are enrolled in some type of Medicare health insurance. That number is expected to grow rapidly, with more than 11,000 Baby Boomers aging into Medicare eligibility each day. For many of these individuals, this is the first time they won’t have an employer giving them access to a health plan. And for those who already have Medicare, they may benefit from understanding their options if they want to switch their coverage.

edicare Supplement plans – also M known as Medigap – can be paired with Original Medicare plans and will help pay for costs not covered by Parts A or B.

Original Medicare has two parts: Part A is hospital insurance that covers hospital stays, skilled nursing care, and more; and Part B is insurance that covers care including doctor visits and outpatient services. Part A and B do have coverage gaps. Without extra protection, people on Original Medicare could pay thousands of dollars in deductibles, copayments, out-of-pocket expenses, and other costs associated with prescription medicines, long term care, some dental care, hearing aids, and other health services. That’s partly why more than 30 million consumers have chosen to expand coverage through a Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and/or Medicare Part D plan. n

edicare Advantage – also called M Part C – is an alternative to Origi-

These three types of Medicare plans are offered by private healthcare companies, such as Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and many plans have a monthly premium, which are in addition to the Part B premium. When searching for a Medicare plan, consumers should examine factors including affordability of plans to fit their budget; access to network of doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies that meet their needs; drug formulary that aligns with medication needs; availability of wellness and preventive care programs; and a health plan with

percentage of patients are readmitted within 30 days”. In a 2016 article entitled “The Hidden Financial Incentives Behind Your Shorter Hospital Stay,” the New York Times stated that “Under Medicare’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, hospitals now lose up to 3 percent of their total Medicare payments for high rates of patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge.” “[There is] evidence that hospitals are gaming the metric. For instance, patients who are placed under ‘observation status’ are not counted in the readmissions metric even though they may receive the same care as patients formally admitted to the hospital. Likewise, patients treated in the emergency room and not admitted to the hospital do not affect the readmissions metric either.” While most Decisions by Medicare can be appealed by patients the observation classification cannot. However, on July 31st, 2017 the U.S. District Court in Connecticut ruled in favor of a class action lawsuit in Alexander v Price. The trial, expected to start in 2018, if successful will allow patients to appeal their hospitalization status dating back to determinations starting on January 1, 2009. In the meantime, patients who are hospitalized for more than 24 hours must be notified in writing

within 36 hours of their status as either inpatient or observation. This law became effective in August 2016. Once notified of their status, presumably the patient may ask the physician to change an observation to inpatient. As a footnote, one very interesting study reported by Todays Hospitalist, Study Results Push Back on Readmission Penalties “a new analysis of more than 4,450 acute-care facilities, which found that hospitals with the highest hospital-wide readmission rates are more likely to have the lowest mortality rates for patients with three common conditions. “The fact that mortality and readmission were, in some instances, inversely related, should raise some eyebrows about how well readmissions function as a quality metric,” says Daniel J. Brotman, MD, director of the hospitalist program at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital.” As older patients typically have more complex conditions it seems logical that added care from a readmission would permit their doctor to treat further. ~

40, or a total of 4.2 million people. The most common cause of vision loss in this age-group is age-related macular degeneration (AMD), accounting for approximately 54% of cases. With increasing age, the prevalence of vision loss climbs to over 6% among Caucasians over the age of 85. AMD has two forms: Dry (non-exudative) or Wet (exudative). Even though the wet form only represents 10-15% of cases of AMD, it accounts for the majority of cases of significant vision loss. In wet AMD, abnormal blood vessels grow (neovascularization) into the retina and are prone to leak and bleed, causing scarring and permanent loss of central vision. This all sounds like bad news for seniors, but in fact, there is a lot to be thankful for in the treatment of wet AMD. Not your parents’ disease. If you ever had a parent or relative being treated for wet AMD in the past, unfortunately the disease often robbed patients of their central vision despite laser and other treatments. Thankfully, the treatment of wet AMD has improved substantially in the last 15 years and there are 3 injectable drugs currently used with good success. If a patient experiences new blurry or distorted vision

from wet AMD, the current treatments can stabilize vision in 95% of patients and improve vision in 30-40% of patients. Area of active research. Despite the improvement in treatment for wet AMD, there is no cure for the disease, and the current injection treatments often need to be continued for life. As a result, treatments that last longer and require fewer injections are being studied. In addition, eye drops, pills and other less invasive treatments are being investigated. A cure for this disease lies in the promise of stem cell or gene therapy. If either one of these treatments prove effective, then far fewer people will have to suffer from age-related vision impairment. It is recommended that people over the age of 65 (even without any risk factors or symptoms) have an annual eye exam. If you have AMD, your eye doctor may send you to a retinal specialist who can evaluate and develop a treatment plan that is right for you as well as determine whether you qualify to participate in any new clinical research trials. ~

Care is provided at the individual’s residence, this can be their private home, a 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.

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.

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 handson 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 90 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 87 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. ~

Senior Housing Definitions

(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 Continued on next page Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

personal/nursing care. Payor sources usually accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, VA, some insurance plans and private sources. 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.

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. ~

to process may seem overwhelming. It’s important to understand the types of communities available to you, along with the services offered. Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) typically include independent living, assisted living, and memory care and some may offer skilled nursing and rehabilitation. These communities are worth considering, as they offer a variety of services within one community, maintenance-free living, social activities and increased levels of care as needs change. So, why CCRCs? Care. One of the most important aspects of any senior living community is health care. CCRCs offer a range of services and amenities for personalized care at every stage of life. Highly skilled staff are trained to provide the highest level of care to keep residents comfortable, happy and engaged. Convenience. Making a move to senior living is a big enough task in itself. Residents don’t want to worry about making another big life change once they’ve settled into their new home. By choosing a CCRC, residents can feel confident that as their health changes, their needs can be met.

Retirement. Retired life is supposed to be as active or relaxed as you please. A CCRC offers a low-maintenance lifestyle where lawn care, snow removal and security are no longer a concern. A calendar full of activities and a campus with state of the art amenities allow residents to focus on their own happiness, keep their minds sharp and encourage socialization. Caregivers. Having an option to live in one location for the duration of their lives and plan for future care upon entrance provides a great level of comfort to current caregivers. Knowing they can rely on caring and highly qualified staff members to take care of their loved ones allows the caregiver to enjoy life to the fullest without added stress. Having committed and dedicated teams to serve individual needs for residents is a huge selling point. Before choosing a senior living community, it is important to learn as much as possible, plan a visit and ask questions. While CCRCs share some common features, it’s important to find a place where you feel most at home. ~

MEMORY CARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

Respite Care Benefits Everyone, Eighty-three percent of the help pro- Especially vided to older adults in the United States comes from family members, Caregivers friends or other unpaid caregivers.

In the past year alone, nearly 16 million family and friends provided more than 18 billion hours of unpaid care to those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Most of these caregivers rate their emotional stress as high or very high, and many report symptoms of depression. When a survey co-sponsored by The National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP asked such caregivers what they needed most, the majority responded “free time or a break for themselves.” Respite care, a service offered by The Village at Waveny as well as other assisted living communities, provides caregivers with a temporary break from caregiving by providing secure, temporary lodging and hands-on care for individuals with dementia. It enables caregivers to rest, relax and reconnect with family and friends. When a family caregiver is involved in 24-hour care, day-to-day tasks become harder to complete and self-neglect can occur. As a group, Alzheimer caregivers are twice as likely as other caregivers to be providing the highest levels of care for more than 40 hours a week, and face a greater risk of developing stress-induced conditions. Respite stays can alleviate some caregiver burden and, in doing so, help to maintain person-

al well-being and a healthy lifestyle. A short placement in a therapeutic assisted living environment affords a senior’s spouse or adult child some time to recharge their batteries, and attend to themselves and other family members appropriately. Many caregivers find that when care is resumed at home after a respite stay, it can be a little less stressful for everyone. Unfortunately, many caregivers feel it is selfish to focus on their own needs, and wait until they are overwhelmed, exhausted and desperate before seeking help. Such situations are detrimental to all parties involved. Caregivers should know that they are not alone, and that there are highly-qualified people and community resources available to help them. In addition to using respite services to regain some time for personal rejuvenation, a respite stay can also serve as a helpful and convenient way for seniors to sample assisted living before making long-term decisions. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Waveny LifeCare Network, a comprehensive continuum of care in New Canaan that has served the changing needs of seniors and their families for over 40 years.
