COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

How Continuity of Care Makes In 1914, when RVNA was founda Difference ed, we started with a single visiting nurse. Her name was Viola Byxbee and she travelled by foot to care for her patients. A year later, Miss Byxbee was replaced by Miss Enright, who was given a car for her rounds. Rightfully so! In the year 1919, Miss Enright made 1,562 visits. And, as the sole nurse on service for over 12 years, Miss Enright took all the calls that came in, including “social service, medical, surgical, operations, obstetrical, tuberculosis, patients taken to hospital.” To name a few. While the realities of being a “single practitioner” for all her patients were no doubt challenging – even with that automobile -- there was at least one advantage: continuity of care. Miss Enright’s patients were well known to her, and she to them, and as she cared for them in different capacities over the years, she did so with an in-depth knowledge of their background and their conditions. This familiarity no doubt enhanced the quality of the care her patients received. Today, as healthcare has grown more sophisticated and care is typically served by a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians and practitioners, continuity of care remains a particularly important topic. Today, it relates to the successful integration, coordination, and sharing of information and care that results in a

seamless patient experience with excellent outcomes and results. Over 100 years later, RVNA takes continuity of care more seriously than ever. “RVNA now offers a range of services for individuals for every stage of life, including: wellness and nutrition; in-home nursing and rehabilitation; outpatient rehabilitation; non-medical caregiving; and, most recently we introduced hospice services,” explains Keri Linardi, RN, BSN, PHN, CHPCA, Chief Clinical Officer. “Whether a patient is using one of our services or several, our goal is to offer care that is coordinated, comfortable, and, most importantly, effective. Our teams and processes are designed for seamless, easy patient transition across services as well as simple means for escalation if a patient needs different care, or additional care.” In a recent example, an RVNA caregiver – providing non-medical hourly care – noticed her client was increasingly weak and having difficulty breathing. The caregiver immediately escalated the concern to RVNA’s home health manager, who sent a nurse to evaluate the situation. The nurse then contacted the client’s doctor, who prescribed medicine to address the situation immediately. An emergency was averted. Continued on page 19

Adult Day Care – An Affordable Solution 88% of aging adults want to stay for Aging in Place in their own homes as long as possible and 94% want to remain in their communities as long as possible. Although aging-in-place is not a safe option for some seniors – with the help of an adult day care center, many adults can safely remain at home and thrive. Adult day care centers follow a social model or a medical model. Some centers, such as River House, offer both. At an adult day center of either model, participants greatly benefit from active engagement. Members spend the day socializing with their peers, participating in recreational activities that stimulate their mind and bodies, enjoying nutritious meals, and remaining an active member of their community. At medical model centers, members also benefit from health monitoring and individualized care by registered Nurses and certified nurse’s aides. Caregivers also greatly benefit from the reliability of adult day care centers. Caring for someone who requires assistance in meeting their daily life activities, puts a significant strain on caregivers often leading to difficulty in completing their own work and personal obligations. The option to have a loved one cared for during the day by qualified Nurses

and recreation staff within their own community, gives caregivers respite and relief. An adult day center also offers family support such as counseling and provides caregivers links to community resources. Adult day centers are a win-win for families struggling with the challenges of caring for an elderly loved one. Seniors can enjoy their days active among friends, while caregivers benefit from peace of mind that their loved one is safe and happy. 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. Approximately half of participants have some form of cognitive impairment and/or require assistance with at least two daily living activities. If you are considering the next step for yourself or a loved one, talk to your geriatrician to determine if adult day care is the best choice for your family. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Donna Spellman, MS, Executive Director at River House Adult Day Center.

“Every week brings new examples and new situations where our range of services and the close coordination between our teams helps a patient get the care they need when and how they need it,” says Linardi. “When you are in the RVNA family, we don’t just treat a part of you, we consider the whole. Nurses and therapists form close care teams; patients graduate from in-home rehabilitation to our outpatient center; families who know us through home health trust us when it is time for hospice care. From the start, RVNA

has been entirely dedicated to our patients and while we’ve grown significantly since the days of Miss Enright, we still strive for the same continuity of care and personal attention that she delivered so well.” ~ Editor’s Note: RVNA is an accredited, non-profit, Medicare-certified healthcare agency committed to promoting the highest quality of life at all ages and stages of health. RVNA is headquartered in Ridgefield, CT and serves 28 town across Connecticut. www. ridgefieldvna.org/203-438-5555.

Medicare 2019 “In A Nutshell” (Parts A, B & Medigap Plans) Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional Medicare supplement also known as a “Medigap Plan.” Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance

Medicare Part B Medical Insurance

Supplemental Policy Plans A - N Medigap

Generally no cost (If you paid Medicare taxes while working)

Most people pay monthly $134.00 (Premium could be higher based on income)

Premium varies by company, age, location & other factors.

$1,364 deductible (per benefit period) It is possible to pay the $1,364 deductible and other daily charges for multiple stays & extended care. Plan covers: Inpatient hospital care, home health care services, hospice, inpatient skilled nursing & more. Providers are paid by Medicare assignment. No coverage outside USA. No out-of-pocket maximum. Many people add a Medigap plan, Part D or an Advantage Plan (Part C) to fill the “gaps” in the coverage.

$185 annual deductible. 80/20 after deductible. Plan covers: health care providers, ambulance, emergency care, outpatient surgical, preventive services and other Medicare approved benefits. Most doctors accept Medicare. No coverage outside the USA. No out-of-pocket maximum. Many people add a Medigap plan, Part D or an Advantage Plan (Part C) to fill the “gaps” in the coverage.

These plans generally pay the Part A & B deductibles, the 20% not covered by Part B & other Medicare eligible benefits. When this coordinates with Medicare, many benefits are 100% covered A popular option, Plan F will NOT be available for new enrollees in 2020 Can provide benefits outside USA Plans are only available through insurance companies. Need to add a Part D plan to cover prescription drugs & avoid penalties. Must have Part A & B to enroll.

A person on Medicare is also known as a “Medicare Beneficiary.” There is no additional cost to use the services of a full time insurance professional. Please call us or a broker in your local area for additional assistance. This article was written by Craig N. Anderson, President of Anderson Benefits, Inc. located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

had confided to my friend that her husband was recently diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer. Although her husband had been accepted into a clinical trial study at a major teaching cancer center, a grim second opinion from another center was too much to endure. The woman whose husband was afflicted with cancer divulged that she did not know what to do. Other than starting the clinical trial, no other alternative had been provided to them. They were utterly overwhelmed with the dire diagnosis and had never spoken about what they would if a healthcare crisis would strike. Neither institution discussed palliative care as an option. The wife was overwhelmed, needed information and guidance. My friend wanted to help. She called me to inquire as to how to direct the family. She was well aware of my interest and passion for palliative care education and knew I would be able to provide some information. I suggested 2 websites that are necessary for anyone who is in this type of desperate situation and need guidance, such as this family was in: Get Palliative Care – www.getpalliativecare.org/ Five Wishes – www.agingwithdignity.org/

Ideally, this type of conversation should be conducted with a family before a serious illness is diagnosed or in its early stages. My friend, instructed the woman that the family needed to demand palliative care. There are resources available to patients, but palliative care is currently underutilized, not widely discussed and misunderstood. It has been a slow process, but palliative care has now become recognized and understood for the multitude of benefits it provides. It includes medical treatment, pain and symptom relief, psychological support and spiritual care for the patient and their family. Research has proven that patients who are introduced to palliative care early in their serious illness, live longer and fuller lives and it improves quality of life. There are crucial elements of care that need to be discussed before a crisis strikes. Receiving bad news from your physician is overwhelming and absorbing this type of information is very difficult emotionally. It takes time to process all the information and the patient and their family need to be educated in a timely, methodical, unrushed fashion. Palliative care provides a layer of support to the patient and family but in most instances, the

Summer Falls and Injuries For most people, summer is a time to be more active, such as taking a trip to the beach, strolling around town or gardening in the backyard. However, warm weather activities can provide opportunities for unintentional injuries and falls, especially for older adults. WAYS TO KEEP SAFE Wear closed-toe shoes. Flip flops are the top choice for cooling off in hot temperatures, but the flimsy sandals can trip the wearer or snap while walking. In addition, flip flops offer little protection whether it’s from a bug bite or falling glass of iced tea. Practice Tai Chi. Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art. Today, it’s a mix between meditation, exercise and dance. It targets strength, gait and balance through slow, low-impact movements. Many studies have shown Tai Chi to reduce falls. You can find a local Tai Chi or martial arts school near you. Most lessons occur outside, so you’ll still enjoy the weather. Clear out your outdoor hangout. A familiar joke in old cartoons was the rake gag where one of the characters would unknowingly step on the rake’s head, which would smack the long handle into their face. It’s funnier on TV than in real life, however. Garden tools, ornaments and landscaping materials can become fall hazards and should be cleared

from walkways or popular avenues around your yard. If you have patio furniture, make sure it’s sturdy and not too low to the ground. Being stuck in a sofa or tumbling from a collapsed chair is not a fun way to spend your summer. Hydrate. Everyone knows it’s important to drink lots of fluids, especially water, during the hotter months. According to the Mayo Clinic, dehydration can cause dizziness, which is one of the leading causes for falls. Take care around swimming pools. Swimming is an excellent way for seniors to keep cool and work out. However, the concrete paths around in-ground pools can become slippery from splashes and lead to a fall: tread carefully. Moreover, install pool railings for easy access and secure any loose tiles on the pool’s walls. Swimming with a partner is recommended by the American Red Cross, so don’t forget to swim with a buddy or where there is a lifeguard on duty. We hope these tips will help you or a loved one have a safe – and fun – summer. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Nicol Rupolo, owner of ComForCare of Lower Fairfield County; adapted with permission by ComForCare Health Care Holding, LLC.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

Senior Housing Definitions AGE RESTRICTIONS – Some communities have a restriction on the youngest age they are allowed to accept. These restrictions vary by community. ALZHEIMER’S / DEMENTIA ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Licensed assisted living facility or skilled nursing facility that specialize in delivering care to victims of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Communities are typically bedroom-style rental units with common areas for dining and activities. Many are locked for residents’ safety. Specifically trained staff usually serves the special needs of this population. Amenities vary for each community. ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Typically apartment-style with kitchenettes and private baths. Some offer companion accommodations. Personal assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating and ambulation. Rates vary from an all-inclusive to base rates with levels of care. Amenities vary for each community. 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.

Making Your Move to a Senior Living If you have made the decision to Community & Tips move to a senior living communifor Downsizing ty, you can expect more time as you take advantage of a variety of convenient services and amenities – and to spend your time on activities you enjoy.

One major thing to start planning for: downsizing your possessions. For many people, a move to senior living means choosing to live in a cozier space, and you may need to prioritize the belongings that go with you. How can you get started with downsizing ahead of your move, and what can you do to assist a loved one with the process? Planning for Success Depending on when you plan to move, you may have plenty of time to go through your things, or the process may be a little more rushed. It is always best to get started as soon as possible; begin by creating a plan for each day or week you have available until your move. If you can visit your new home prior to your move, you can get an idea of the space you will have available for your furnishings and personal belongings. As you sort through items you will take with you and items you will either give away or donate, avoid disposing of your belongings immediately. Instead, set them aside for a brief period to ensure you will not

regret your decisions. Keep items you know you will use or that have significant sentimental value. Downsizing provides an opportunity to assess which of your possessions have real meaning and which you can live without. Helping a Loved One With Downsizing If your family member is planning a move to a senior living community and has not started the downsizing process, you may want to offer assistance. Understand that your loved one may have attachments to certain items, and be prepared to slow down and take breaks when needed. Consider offering to take any sentimental items that your loved one may not want to let go, including gifts from grandchildren, scrapbooks, photo albums and other precious mementos. Spend some time researching local thrift shops and groups that accept donations to provide your family member with options for charitable disposal of unwanted or duplicate items. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Elizabeth S.

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. ~

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

by Middlesex Health, is an assisted living community nestled in the heart of Middletown.

Located within walking distance of downtown Middletown’s many shops and restaurants, One MacDonough Place residents are active members of the greater community, and with its proximity to Middlesex Hospital, emergency care is literally right next door. Most residents say One MacDonough Place feels like home—and for good reason. The community’s apartments are spacious and clean, and there is a community living room and country kitchen. Staff and other residents are courteous and friendly, and the aroma of freshly baked cookies often tempts guests and residents alike. At One MacDonough Place, residents are able to come and go as they please, while benefiting from three meals a day, on-site care, transportation to doctors’ appointments and their pick of fun activities. Physical activities, such as Tai Chi and strength conditioning, and art activities, such as painting and poetry, are offered. Residents also participate in activities like gardening and competitive Scrabble.

One MacDonough Place knows moving to an assisted living community is not an easy decision. People are currently moving into assisted living later in life—when they have more medical problems and need more assistance. As such, residents may miss out on the many opportunities that come with assisted living and limit their living options. Consider making the move early so that you can truly benefit! How do you know if you, or a loved one, should consider assisted living? Weight loss, a change in personal appearance, a change in the home environment and missing medical appointments can all be indicators. Not taking medications correctly, a change in personality, not paying the bills, car accidents, frequent falls and frequent trips to the Hospital or Emergency Department can also be signs, as is caregiver burnout. One MacDonough Place offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and has staff available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Both short- and long-term stays are available. For more information, visit onemacdonoughplace.org or call 860-358-5802. See ad on page 129.

family has to bring this up to the healthcare team. The Kanarek Family Foundation is committed to educating nurses and other health care providers on how palliative care can improve quality of life and how to best help their patient’s at their most vulnerable time of life. The Kanarek Center for Palliative Care at the Egan School of Nursing, at Fairfield University opened its doors in September 2017 and is educating undergraduate and graduate nursing students on the crucial role palliative care plays in helping families. It is also educat-

ing current healthcare professionals how to integrate it into their area of practice. In time, palliative care will become an integral part of healthcare and all patients will have the availability of such a vital level of care when a serious illness strikes themselves or a loved one. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Robin Kanarek, BSN, RN, President, Kanarek Family Foundation, 203-2544000 ext. 2714, www.KanarekFamilyFoundation.org.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

caregiving by providing secure, temporary lodging, and handson care for their loved ones. Eighty-three percent of the help provided to older adults in the United States comes from family, 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. Not surprisingly, 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.” 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 level of care continuously for more than 40 hours a week. They also face a greater risk of developing stress-induced conditions. Respite stays can alleviate the caregiver’s burden and, in doing so, help to maintain personal well-being and a healthy lifestyle both for themselves, as well as, their loved one. Most respite programs provide for socialization, activity, and wellness programs. They also provide

for educational programs for both the caregiver and the cared for. A short placement in a therapeutic memory care environment like that of Waveny LifeCare Network or other local providers, affords a senior’s spouse or adult child some time to recharge their batteries, and attend to their own needs. Many caregivers report 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 resources in their own community that are available to help them. Respite stays can also serve as a helpful and convenient way for seniors to sample other housing and program alternatives, such as assisted living, before making a more permanent long-term decision. Few programs are structured to address the needs of both the caregiver and the cared for. ~

A RMS

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

Warning Signs of Stroke

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.
