means to self-care.

These days self-care has become a popular notion. Exploring the arts has become one of the means to self-care. Surrounding ourselves with whatever pleases us aesthetically is an important element in our efforts to increase our quality of life. Scientists recognize that the arts benefit our health and well-being mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Studies have found that singing can reduce pain, depression and confusion. Dance relieves stress and anxiety. Art soothes and storytelling connects us to ourselves and our community. The Greens at Greenwich celebrates its 20th anniversary in providing excellence in dementia care and the creative arts therapies are at the core of our care. We are the only assisted living community in the area to offer all the creative arts interventions by licensed therapists. Our residents enjoy creative arts therapy daily. In drama therapy we

explored our hands and told stories of all that our hands have held. Virginia gestured how she helped pull her baby out of her womb. In dance/movement therapy Peter sat stiff and pouted. “I don’t dance. Never have. Never will.” The therapist played “I won’t dance, don’t ask me.” Suddenly Peter rose and playfully danced a solo that everyone soon joined. In art, Carol squiggled lines all over her page and carefully ran her finger along it speaking of her life’s journey. Just as we are all living in a time of “the new normal” with new anxieties, your loved ones with dementia are as well. Their lives have been disrupted by memory impairment creating anxieties in their world. We can help them develop coping skills and a sense of purpose, as well as joy in the new normal. The Greens at Greenwich can be the silver lining in their life journey and in yours. Contact, Maria Scaros, Executive Director, to discuss your specific needs regarding your loved one with memory impairment. ~ Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

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.

An Eco-Friendly Way to Return to the Earth Better Place Forests is creating America’s first conservation memorial forests, offering a more sustainable and meaningful alternative to traditional cemeteries for those considering cremation.

Whether you’re doing your own end-of-life planning or want to memorialize a loved one, you may be looking for an option that aligns with your values. For those who feel a connection to nature, Better Place Forests is a natural, eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial, offering memorial trees in a protected New England forest. When you choose a tree with Better Place Forests, you receive a private, protected place to return ashes to the earth. Your choice helps to conserve forestland and protect the natural beauty of Connecticut for generations, giving your loved ones a peaceful place to visit and remember. How Better Place Forests Works First, select your tree online with the help of an advisor who will walk you through the forest, introducing you to the unique features of the property, the plants and animals that call it home, and the many trees you can choose as your living memorial. Once you have purchased a tree, schedule a visit to tour in person and build a connection with your tree and the forest. You and your family

can return over the years to walk the forest’s trails, see your tree grow, and create new memories together. When the time comes, ashes are mixed with local soil and wildflower seeds and placed beneath your tree, directly contributing to the health of the forest and the ecosystem it supports. Instead of a cemetery, friends and family have a beautiful place in nature to visit and honor a loved one. Conserving Forestland Across the U.S. Located one hour west of Hartford, Better Place Forests Litchfield Hills is a 130-acre mountaintop forest featuring sweeping views of the Housatonic River Valley. By choosing a memorial tree here, you help protect it and the entire forest for years to come. As well as directly contributing to conserving Connecticut’s forestland, each tree you reserve helps reforest America, with 25–400 new tree saplings planted in your honor in areas impacted by deforestation or forest fires. To learn more and receive $1000 savings towards your memorial tree, visit BPFctsave.com. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Better Place Forests. See ad on page 33.

New Laws for CT Public Transportation, Whether you drive or ride, Increased Security you are subject to new & Reporting transportation legislation.

Vision Testing – Licensed motor vehicle operators may submit their results from a vision exam performed by a licensed eye doctor versus undergoing a vision test performed by the DMV; Out of State Registration for Motor Vehicles – New CT residents now have 90 days to register their motor vehicle versus the former 60 days; Cannabis Possession & License Suspension - The DMV Commissioner will impose a 60-day driver’s license suspension for any motor vehicle operator under age 21 convicted of possessing any amount of cannabis; Smoking and Vaping - both are prohibited in any area of a platform or shelter for busses and trains; Bus Right of Way - Drivers must allow merging and right-of-way to busses travelling in the same directions; Senior Registrations - Drivers aged 65+ may opt for a one year registration; Seat Belts - All passengers must wear a seatbelt, including those seated in the back; Distracted Driver Fines – Fines increased! 1st offense has increased from $150 to $200; 2nd offense from $300 to $375; 3rd offense from $500 to $625!

3 4 5 6 7 8

Yielding to Pedestrians at Crosswalks – Drivers must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk, step to the curb of the crosswalk and indicate their intent to enter, or who begin physically entering crosswalk with a cane, leg or other body part; Paratransit Drivers as Mandated Reporters – Mandated reporters are a group of professionals deemed close to certain “at risk” individuals who have up close and personal encounters with such individuals and may be privy to signs of neglect and abuse. Drivers will report to the Department Of Social Services when they have reasonable cause and/ or suspect that an elderly person (or person with a disability) needs protective services or has been abused, neglected, exploited or abandoned. Paratransit drivers oftentimes have a window into a passenger’s life to all the good, bad, and sometimes ugly and are sometimes the only social experience some passengers have. Let’s applaud these new laws and welcome these additional supports. If you suspect abuse, neglect, abandonment or exploitation of the elderly and or those with disabilities, REPORT IT! In Connecticut, dial 1-888-385-4225, Mon–Fri, 8:00am- 4:30pm. Evenings, holidays and weekends, dial 2-1-1. Reporters may remain anonymous.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions HOSPICE (See definition in home health grid definitions) Services Provided: N-Nurse – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family teaching as needed.

Levels of Care: RO-Routine Care – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. 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.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

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, anx-

iety 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.

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.

MEMORY CARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

Look for a Healing Environment When Choosing a Rehabilitation If you or a loved one has been injured, had an operation or requires Community short-term rehabilitation, you will be interested in the services of a sub-acute rehabilitation community.

You have a myriad of options when choosing a rehabilitation community, but not all are the same. While many offer similar services, the right rehabilitation program is about more than just the services available. The overall healing environment should be considered, as well. What Comprises a Healing Environment? A rehabilitation community that looks at the whole patient and the connection between mind, body and spirit creates a healing environment that enhances well-being and encourages faster recovery and better outcomes. It should include: An experienced and compassionate team who can talk to the patient about their hopes and expectations and include them and their family in a personalized care plan. Positive relationships between the patient and the medical team. Ideally, the group takes a collaborative approach using integrative medicine to address the whole person. The use of physical design to enhance healing potential using color, light, sound and nature in a comfortable, soothing space.

The combination of these components creates a positive environment, promotes healing and minimizes stress. Quality of Care Baked into the healing environment is the quality of care. Here are a few questions to ask when evaluating the care provided: n

hat is the staff-to-patient ratio? W How does it compare to state requirements? How high is the staff turnover rate? What health measures are in place to ensure residents are safe and comfortable while mitigating threats, such as COVID-19? Does the medical team work with each resident individually to create a personalized care plan? What supplemental therapies are available? Speech? Physical? Occupational? What is the current Medicare rating? Is assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) offered?

Visit the community and observe how the staff interacts with patients and each other. Evaluate the community’s cleanliness and whether it is comfortable and welcoming.

Amenities and Services Depending on healthcare needs, a stay in a rehabilitation community could last days to weeks. Part of a healing environment is keeping residents positive and engaged during their stay. Look for a range of amenities and services, including: n Pool n Fitness center n Spacious, private rooms n Beauty salon/barbershop n Planned daily activities n Entertainment n Dining area n Individualized services One thing to consider is the distance between resident rooms and dining, activity and rehabilitation areas. Another is the dining

program and meal options. Ask for a sample menu. Are special diets accommodated? How is the food? Is it freshly prepared? Making the Choice Choosing a rehabilitation community can be challenging, and ensuring there is a healing environment takes some effort. By asking the right questions, gathering information and visiting the community in person, you can make an informed decision and feel confident about your choice. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Elizabeth Dupree, Director of Sales and Marketing at Edgehill and may be reached at 203-595-2307 or by email at edupree@benchmarkquality.com.

How to Find the Best Skilled Nursing Finding the right Skilled Nursfor Your Parent ing care for your parent can be a stressful experience because you want to make sure you make the best choice for your loved one and their unique situation.

How do you make the best-informed decision? Unfortunately, there’s no one source to turn to; instead, you will need to consult several sources. However, when used together, they can help you see the whole picture so you can feel confident you are making the right decision. Here are some tips to help you choose the best option: Word of Mouth—One of the best places to start your search is to ask people you know for suggestions. Keep in mind that word of mouth can be highly subjective. What is right for another person may not be what’s right for your parent. You can also consult your doctor or other local social services and healthcare providers. Government Agencies—Another place to assess your options is a government rating agency, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which ranks care providers on a five-star scale. For instance, Ridge Crest at Meadow Ridge in Redding, CT has a fivestar rating in all categories (health,

staffing and quality measures) and a five-star overall rating. Five-star communities are recognized as being far above average and providing the highest levels of care. Professional Reviews— Consult a respective leader in health rankings, such as U.S. News & World Report, which publishes a yearly review of senior care communities. More than 15,000 facilities are evaluated and rated to help you compare communities of interest against each other. More Ways to Evaluate Communities Finally, AARP recommends making an in-person visit to the communities that interest you. There, you can talk to and observe both associates and residents. You will learn more about the communities from the people who know them best and get answers to any questions you may have. There are many choices when it comes to Skilled Nursing. However, taking the time to get informed will make you feel confident in your final decision and ensure optimal health outcomes. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Carla Dunford, Ridge Crest Administrator at Meadow Ridge and may be reached at 203-544-1000 or by email at cdunford@benchmarkquality.com

a private or shared bath, meals, activities, transportation, phone service, cable television and all 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.

DEFINITIONS

Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 113

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. ~

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 97 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. ~ Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 157

Are You Passing Down the Right Things? What do you want to pass down to your children and grandchildren? Many people respond to that question by saying “the house, a car, money or Great-Aunt-Betty’s ruby ring”.

But have you ever considered the things that you may be missing such as the reason behind the family traditions you practice, lessons you’ve learned in life or the stories that made you who you are today?

All of these components make up your legacy. A legacy is a collection of items passed down from one generation of family to the next. We are accustomed to hearing about the first set of answers above, but until now it hasn’t been possible to pass down the things that aren’t physical items. You have spent a lifetime creating family traditions, instilling values in your children, gathering real life experiences and the lessons that

come along with them. The possibility of passing on that information is incredibly powerful. Not only is it nostalgic and wonderful, but it also allows your legacy to live on far beyond your life. Imagine if you could record a video describing your family tree with photos and stories of each person rather than simply showing one on paper. What if you could leave a message to your future granddaughter to open on her wedding day – one that is beyond your days. Conversely, what would it be like to watch a video of your grandparents having done that for you? Finally, technology has caught up to where you now have the opportunity to not only record these types of messages and stories, but also secure them permanently and privately so they can be passed on to the family members of your choice. We all leave behind a legacy when we go, so I encourage you to consider this question: Are you passing down the right things? ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Robyn Sechler of Securing Memories.
