DICK JOHNSON – NATIONAL AWARD RECIPIENT

78-Year-Old Idaho Senior Athlete National Senior Games Personal Receives Best Award recognizes examples of healthy aging, overcoming challenges National Award As the 2018 Idaho Senior Games (ISG) kicked off with athletes vying for qualifying slots in the 2019 National Senior Games, the CEO of the national governing body came to their Opening Celebration at Julia Davis Park today to present a Personal Best Award to 78-year-old Boise athlete Dick Johnson, who inspires others to pursue active lifestyles with his “never say quit” outlook on life. National Senior Games Association (NSGA) CEO Marc T. Riker recognized the Idaho native for his perseverance and love of sport to the gathering of more than 250. Riker explained Johnson was a champion tennis player for three decades until back fusion surgery made it difficult for him to cover a tennis court. “When he got out of shape and was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, Dick found a treatment program that helped him manage diet, lose weight and avoid insulin shots. But he needed a way to stay motivated to exercise,” Riker said. “The sport of pickleball suited him with its smaller court size, and it provided the same level of workout as tennis had been. He was back on track.” Johnson has excelled since taking up pickleball, which is the fastest growing sport in America. In only five years, Johnson twice medaled in all seven recognized national and world pickleball championships in the same year, including the National Senior

Games. He’s racked up close to 200 medals - mostly gold - in these majors and more than 90 tournaments across the country, including Idaho Senior Games. “I am most honored by this because it’s about something more than just the medals,” an emotional Johnson said after receiving the award. “The philosophy of the Senior Games is all about good health, win or lose. I was on a down turn when I found Senior Games and pickleball. That’s what has kept me healthy.” Beyond his many accomplishments in academics, business, sports, government, and civic life, Dick Johnson affirmed that his greatest successes and blessings have been his Mormon service work and his marriage of 54 years that has produced four children, 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Since 2013, NSGA’s Personal Best program has profiled athletes with

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

wide-ranging stories of overcoming challenges with the goal to inspire and motivate all aging Americans to stay active to pursue their own “personal best” lifestyle. Johnson is the first Idaho athlete to be recognized in the program. An in-depth interview feature about Johnson and previous selected athletes can be found on the Personal Best page at NSGA.com. “Our recognition program has profiled athletes of all abilities from many backgrounds,” Riker said. “They provide a simple common message of inspiration to others of all ages: Just keep moving and you will enjoy a healthier, happier and longer life. We offer Senior Games as a great option to find fitness, fun and fellowship.” The Idaho Senior Games, now in its 29th year, features competi-

tion in 19 sports at various sites throughout the Treasure Valley between Aug. 3-26. Its mission is to keep people 50 years of age to 100+ healthy and productive through participation, competition and education. NSGA is a nonprofit Multi-Sports Council member of the United States Olympic Committee that promotes health and wellness for adults 50 and over through education, fitness and sport. It governs the biennial National Senior Games, the largest multi-sport event for people age 50+ in the world. Athletes qualify to compete at one of 53 sanctioned state games such as the Idaho Senior Games. 10,000+ athletes are expected to compete in 20 medal sports over 12 days in five-year age divisions at the 2019 National Senior Games presented by Humana, to be hosted in Albuquerque, New Mexico from June 14-25, 2019. ~

may be keeping a secret!

We know they aren’t doing it on purpose, but we also know that many of the vets who are eligible for it aren’t using what’s available. Here are a couple of things to know: First, vets just don’t know about it, haven’t heard about, don’t know someone who is using it. It seems that each vet upon separation from the military should be educated on this possibility and then any time he or she revisits a VA facility for medical or other help, especially as he or she reaches age 65. We know that the VA is huge (230,000 employees) but our homeless and destitute vets deserve our best efforts. Second, even when they know about the benefit dealing with the VA is difficult so many just don’t bother. The forms themselves can be overwhelming. Gathering the information is daunting. Dealing with the personnel at the VA is exasperating.

The process can be difficult for our team and is almost impossible for an older vet or widow. Third, many vets don’t think they deserve the benefit and want to preserve it for someone who needs it more than they do. First, they served. They’ve earned this benefit and so much more. Second, the VA budget process is mandatory for the pension benefit program. This means that a good chunk of money (much more than is used) is set aside each year to fund this benefit.

What Vets and Surviving Spouses Should Know About When it comes to the VA Aid & Attendance (more accurately called VA Benefits the Pension Benefit program), the VA

If you’re a vet, the surviving spouse of a vet, child of a vet, friend of a vet, neighbor of a vet, caretaker of a vet, just happen to know a vet, then you need to get educated on the Pension Benefit or Aid & Attendance program and make sure the vet you know is taken care of. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Idaho Estate Planning, 453 S.

Durable Power of Attorney Documents: Adults make decisions every Why They Are day in life. You make financial choices regarding banking, payIMPORTANT ing bills and managing assets.

You decide with whom to socialize and also where to live. You make health care decisions such as consenting to or refusing treatment, obtaining medical records and choose a course of treatment when ill. But what happens if you are too sick or disabled to manage these decisions? Before it is too late, have you prepared for someone to act on your behalf in the event of a crisis or if you are unable to manage decisions on your own? Adding a person to your bank accounts is not the answer because, among other reasons, it is dangerous and places your accounts at risk. Thankfully,

there is a key legal tool for supported decision making called a Durable Power of Attorney. A Durable Power of Attorney means one person (the “principal”) gives written legal authority to another (the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) to act on behalf of the principal. “Durable” means the agent can act when the principal loses capacity. A General Durable Power of Attorney permits your agent to manage any part or all of your financial affairs and property. A Health Care Durable Power of Attorney enables your agent to make any or all health care decisions if you become incapacitated and cannot

pal’s best interest, in good faith and with care, and keep good records. Abuse by an agent or a breach of fiduciary duty can be punishable civilly and criminally. A principal has the control to revoke a Power of Attorney at any time. If you become incapacitated and have not executed Power of Attorney documents, court proceedings called Guardianship and Conservatorship may be needed for someone to obtain supported decision making authority, which is both time consuming and costly. However, this may be avoided by planning in advance and executing Durable Power of Attorney documents, which give you greater control and freedom of choice in an affordable manner. ~

make decisions for yourself. A Living Will allows you to spell out your desired medical treatment regarding life-saving procedures, artificial nutrition and artificial hydration if you become unable to speak for yourself because you have a terminal illness where death in imminent or you are in a persistent vegetative state. Choosing the right person as an agent is a very important decision and should be given careful consideration. It should be someone who is trustworthy, honest, knows how to handle money and accepts the responsibility as an agent. This agent owes a duty to the principal, called a “fiduciary” duty, which means the agent has to act in the princi-

Getting Help Paying for Long Term Care Last month a woman came into my office and told me that her husband, who was paying many thousands of dollars a month for long term care, had been denied for Medicaid because the couple’s life savings (that they held in an annuity) was too much and they would have to cash the annuity out and spend much of the money before Medicaid would help, leaving little for the wife to live on. I explained that wasn’t necessarily true, and we contacted the annuity company to make some important changes to the annuity. Her husband was approved for Medicaid within a few weeks, even the couple still had the same amount of retirement savings. Many families find it difficult or impossible to pay the high monthly cost of long term care. It can be especially difficult when one spouse needs long term care but the couple is hesitant to spend all the life savings on that spouse’s care when the healthier spouse may have many years of life left. However, It is possible to get help paying for care without becoming impoverished; but it is crucial to know how to qualify and use that help to your advantage. For veterans and their spouses there is a program often called Aid and Attendance that helps veterans and their spouses pay for long term care. Currently, a married veteran

paying for nursing home care may qualify for up to $2,170 per month from the VA to help pay for that care. To qualify, in most situations a veteran needs to have served only 90 days of active duty, one day of which was during a period of war and cannot have had a dishonorable discharge. A veteran does not need to have a service-connected disability to qualify. There are rules about assets and income to qualify for a VA Aid and Attendance pension. Often, veterans are told they don’t qualify when they make an initial inquiry to the VA. However, before giving up, it is important that a family consult a VA certified elder law attorney to check whether there is anything the veteran can do to change the financial situation and become eligible for

to help your loved one before they become impoverished. In the story above, we used the Medicaid rules to help the woman’s husband qualify before the money was gone. There are many myths and misconceptions about long term care and how to pay for it. There are resources available to help pay for care, but you must plan appropriately to make sure that you can get the help you need. However, even if you haven’t planned ahead, don’t give up just because a friend or even a professional tells you cannot get any help. People often get bad advice in this area; find an elder law attorney near you that can help you protect yourself and your loved ones. ~

the pension. A good advisor may be able to help the family make changes to become eligible. Medicaid also has a program to help seniors pay for long term care. Like the VA pension above, Medicaid has strict rules about assets and income. However, Medicaid also has rules that can be used to the advantage of the person needing long term care. Even if you have think your loved one does not qualify for any help, you must consult with an elder law attorney to see if anything can be done

If You Could Delay the Onset Your body is a fine-tuned of Dementia, machine, and your brain is the Would You? control center. Kidney disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure and heart disease all contribute to hearing loss. But hearing loss can contribute to other health issues. People are more likely to fall, are more prone to isolation, depression and anxiety and are 2-5 times greater at risk of developing dementia1. Dementia and Hearing Loss Consider these statistics: Someone in the US is diagnosed with dementia every 3-4 seconds and that number is supposed to triple over the next 30 years.2 n O ver 40 million Americans have some form of hearing loss today and only 17% have sought treatment. n 3 5% of dementia patients could have prevented this.3 n H earing loss is the “#1 Most Modifiable Factor” in reducing the risk of developing dementia.3 n

Knowing this, don’t let your hearing loss go untreated. The negative consequences may not show up for years, and some may be irreversible.

How does hearing loss contribute to cognitive decline and dementia? Your brain relies on input from the five senses. But if it is not receiving all the signals, it cannot work well. When the ears aren’t working properly, the brain does not receive proper hearing signals to distinguish speech, especially in background noise. Age-related hearing loss is a progressive, degenerative disease and usually begins much earlier in mid-life. Left untreated it can lead to emotional and social consequences, reduced job performance, a diminished quality of life and an increased risk of cognitive decline.

typically meaning grab bars. Unfortunately, you don’t need them until you need them just like insurance. The good news is that there are products out there that don’t have to look like a hospital, look good and you won’t even think of them as safety bars every time you use them. And remember if you have those suction cup bars, please throw them away, they will fail, they are no substitute for something anchored securely. Look around your home start thinking now and if you need assistance call a professional for an evaluation, which should be at no cost. ~

If I asked would you like to live in your home for the rest of your days, the answer would be an overwhelming yes. If I asked have you thought or done anything to make your home safer, it is typically a no. I meet a lot of clients every week, the majority of which are returning from rehab and it is the first time they have thought about home safety, particularly in the bathroom. Whether we like it or not we are aging (see my gray hair as a prime example) and that comes with a whole set of challenges. You cannot prevent every eventuality, but a simple grab bar in the shower now, safety strips on the floor could be the difference to a great spring and summer enjoying the grandkids, or a trip to the ER and weeks of rehab. The biggest comment I get is ‘oh I don’t need any of that stuff yet’,

Recognizing Fall Risks A variety of factors, some of which are listed below, make older adults more susceptible to injury. C ognitive or physical impairment often due to a chronic illness, such as arthritis, dementia, diabetes, heart disease and/or stroke. n D iminished bone density, hearing, vision or sense of touch. n F ear of falling and/or a lack of confidence that often occurs after a person’s first fall. n H ealth issues affecting balance and equilibrium. n I ncorrect use of walking aids and other assistive devices. n L ack of sufficient hydration and nutrition. n L imited endurance and physical strength. n P oorly fitting or worn shoes. n P otential hazards due to environmental issues, such as n

poor lighting, clutter, spills and unsteady furniture. Side effects of medications or taking four or more medications.

If you feel you meet any of the criteria above, take the time to discuss specific risk factors with your health care professional. As the saying goes, “Better safe than sorry.” While certain factors, such as age, are out of your control, others are modifiable, including physical strength and environmental hazards. While home safety is important, research has shown that people who pursue multiple safe aging measures, including use of a personal emergency response system (PERS), a much lower risk of injury. ~ Editor’s Note: This information is present by Direct Link / Home Helpers Boise, 208-322-2668, BoiseOffice@homehelpershomecare. com,5537 North Glenwood St., Suite B, Garden City, ID 83714.

Life to its Fullest We place a lot of value on life. We will spend millions of dollars fighting for the life of a single person and take extreme measures to preserve life. We hold this image in our head of vitality and associate that with living and make it the target aspiration above all other things. But what value do we place on the final phase of life? Death is rough. It is difficult to talk about and even harder to deal with. Nevertheless, there will come a time for all of us, when we are facing those final days, no matter how hard we fight and no matter how much money we spend trying to stop it from coming. What do you want from those final weeks or months? What is your perception of death? I want to maintain my dignity and my privacy. I want my pain and symptoms controlled so that I can maintain my composure, be strong and feel well enough to spend the best possible moments with my family. I want the advanced palliative care that only Hospice Services can provide and I want that level of care for more than

just a few days. Many people are not familiar with Hospice, the services it provides, and the care that is given. It is often directly associated with death and therefore largely underutilized or started much later in life than would be ideal for the patient and their family. Hospice does not mean you are giving up or that you are throwing in the towel on life. It means that you are dedicated to making the most of whatever time is left on earth when that time may not be long. It means having access to specialized nursing services, symptom management, medical equipment, and family support services. Quality of life for patient and family, and yes, the inevitable quality of death is the primary focus for Hospice. Don’t delay the start of services for yourself or a loved one that could positively impact the ability to live the rest of life to its fullest. ~

your home could be one of your most valuable assets. Therefore, selling your house at retirement age presents a different set of considerations than when you were younger. Whether you’re downsizing, buying in a new community or moving in with family, it takes careful planning to get the most out of your equity. Find Out Your Home’s Current Value Having lived in your home for many years, it is natural to be unsure of its current value. However, lack of knowledge about current prices could cause you to accept much less for your home than it is worth. You also might wait too long to accept a fair offer under the mistaken belief that a higher one may be around the corner. To find out the current price for your home, so that you don’t lose out on a sale, review the comparative market analysis, or CMA, provided by your real estate agent. Be Aware of Perks and Pitfalls As a senior, you should be aware of the pitfalls and incentives associated with buying and selling a home at this point in your life. Seek advice from your financial adviser about the

consequences of these transactions. Pensions, IRA accounts, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and estate planning could be impacted by a real estate sale. Additionally, should you plan on buying a home in a retirement community, you may be eligible for perks such as reduced upfront fees and closing-cost assistance, depending on the community.

What Seniors Should Know Before Selling Their Home When you are ready to retire,

Pack Up Memories and Valuables Selling your home presents an ideal time to sort through your belongings. Decluttering makes a house look spacious and helps potential buyers picture their belongings in the house rather than yours. You may have accumulated many mementos through the years that you may wish to sell, give away to family members or donate before moving. While the house is on the market, keep items you wish to retain in storage. Valuables, medications and other personal items should be kept out of sight. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Heather Rivera, Coldwell Banker Tomlinson Group, 208-724-0926.

Longevity Through Physical Therapy Healthy aging looks different for everyone. A person’s prior health status, genetics, and life experiences can all weigh heavily on one’s ability to age well. Part of a healthy aging process is maintaining independence in your later years. One important component to healthy aging is how well you can maintain your mobility. Aspects of maintaining mobility include adequate balance, strength, and endurance. As you age, the likelihood that additional co-morbidities (other complicating medical conditions) is also likely higher. This means that addressing the foundations of mobility (such as balance, strength, and endurance) may not be a straight forward proposition when seeking to maintain your activity level. Research concludes that appropriate strength training and cardiovascular exercise training is a key component to the treatment and management of most chronic illnesses that affect the aging adult. For many, the main barrier to implementing an exercise as medicine approach is uncertainty and the fear of causing more harm. How can you properly perform the exercises needed to address the impairments requiring treatment while working around other complicating medical conditions including arthritis, joint pain (knee

pain), back pain or shoulder pain? A physical therapist (PT) is uniquely qualified to understand your individual medical history as well as the difference between “abnormal” and “normal” aging and physiology. A properly trained PT can guide you on how to best and safely improve the foundations of mobility in the presence of complicating medical conditions. Physical therapists and the field of physical therapy can help lead the way for those desiring to age well. Physical therapy can even be used as a preventative medicine to ward off many of the prominent illnesses

As the exercise as medicine approach is coming to the forefront of recommended treatment options for chronic disease management and treatment, so has the concept of the medical fitness center (which are also known as medically oriented gyms or medically integrated health centers). These facilities are now being recognized as an important part of a healthcare system’s continuum of care. They are run by physicians, hospital groups, exercise physiologists or other ancillary health professionals (physical therapists). The staff is qualified to teach, help guide, and monitor each individual on how to safely implement the proper exercise prescription to improve quality of life and prevent or manage chronic disease and illness in order to age well. To truly age well, one must be proactive in addressing all aspects of aging including mobility issues and

management of chronic disease and illness. This process often includes a combination of traditional medical care and an exercise as medicine approach. Exercise is a key component to healthy aging. If you desire to live a long healthful life, take personal responsibility and embrace the importance of a proper exercise and diet prescription while focusing attention on how to best age well. Seek the assistance of a medical professional who can guide you through this process. We are all capable of successfully aging if we are intentional about the process. ~

Why a Reverse Mortgage? For many Americans their home equity is the greatest portion of their net worth. With growing inflation, increasing medical needs and the possibility of needing in home care rather than moving to an assisted living center, many people over the age of 62 are turning to the equity in their home as a sensible way to increase their financial security. With a Reverse Mortgage, a borrower would have the option to use the proceeds to fund travel, purchase a more senior friendly home, a home closer to children and grandchildren or even help their adult children. There are no restrictions on how funds from a reverse mortgage are spent. A Reverse Mortgage also known as a Home Equity Conversion loan is an FHA insured loan. To be eligible for a Reverse Mortgage, the homeowner must be 62 or older, be able to

maintain the home and pay property taxes and insurance. Just like in a VA or Conventional loan the title is in the name of the home owner and the bank holds a lien. It is a Non-recourse loan meaning that if the loan balance exceeds the proceeds from the sale of the home, mortgage insurance will pay the balance. Also, the estate or heirs are entitled to all proceeds of the sale after paying off the Reverse Mortgage loan balance.

The best reason of all for a Reverse Mortgage is that the borrower has access to their hard-earned money with NO MORTGAGE PAYMENTS! ~ Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This article was submitted by Karen T Swenson, M.Ed.

What Is a Hospice Volunteer? Did you know there are approximately 96,000 hospice volunteers at work in hospices throughout the United States? These volunteers are an essential part of the hospice philosophy of care, which recognizes that dying is not just a medical event, but a personal one as well. In fact, when hospice care became a Medicare benefit in 1982, written into the law signed by President Ronald Reagan was the requirement that community volunteers had to provide a minimum of 5 percent of total patient care hours. It is one of the things that makes hospice care unique in healthcare.

Support For Patients This can include visiting, reading, taking walks, writing letters, bringing in music, supervising visits with pets, or even massage therapy for volunteers with the necessary skills. Respite And Support For Family Members Volunteers can assist with shopping or household maintenance, or allow family caregivers the opportunity to take care of necessary errands and get some time away from the house. Specialized Services Performed By Professionals Massage in the home, nail care, or hair care are examples Handyman skills Installing ramps, grab bars, assisting with light home repairs, or yard work

Servicing patients and their families throughout the Treasure Valley

can serve a hospice by helping in the office with simple administrative duties. Fundraising responsibilities can range from preparing mailings or thank-you letters to organizing fundraising events and contacting possible donors. To ensure that all volunteers are equipped for the challenge of working with hospice patients, hospices require that volunteer’s complete extensive orientation and training sessions, as well as submit to a routine background check. It’s important that volunteers understand the history of hospice and are aware of the specific ways their local hospices work to serve the community.~

Through these weatherization programs, customers learn how to use energy wisely, where they might save additional energy to help reduce their heating costs, and how to use new equipment such as a digital thermostat in their home. This oneon-one education is a good time to have questions about energy efficiency answered by professionals. These home improvements make

a real difference in the lives of Idaho Power’s customers. “We don’t get cold, and we don’t hear the wind blowing through the house like we did before,” said Donna Blay, a participant in Idaho Power’s Weatherization program. Energy efficiency upgrades to her family’s all-electric, manufactured home included: a new heat pump, new ductwork, a programmable thermostat, efficient lighting, and ceiling, floor insulation, and pipe insulation. We hope you take advantage of these no-cost programs. We’re sure you’ll be glad you did! ~

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Hospital to Home: What Family Caregivers Need to Know for a Learning that a loved one needs to go home from a hospital or rehabilSafe Transition itation facility can prompt a range of emotions: happiness, relief, nervousness, maybe even fear.

They likely will need short-term home care or perhaps even some additional temporary residential care for a few weeks or even longer, depending on their health and mobility. Ask questions and learn your options You’ll first want to make sure you understand the level of care your loved one will need when they arrive home. This could include: Companion care

Medication management

Personal care services, such as help bathing, grooming or eating

Skilled nursing services such as IV medications, feeding tubes or treatment of wounds

Physical or occupational therapy or an exercise program

Hospice

Palliative care

Check with your loved one’s insurance company to find out which services they will cover and which companies they accept. For example, Medicare rarely if ever covers companion care or most other per-

sonal care services. If some services need to be paid for out-of-pocket, have a family discussion about how to cover the costs. Is their home environment as safe as it could be? A key question when preparing for the return home is how safe is the physical environment for the senior? Are there stairs to navigate, additional fixtures that need to be installed to promote safe movement with getting into/out of the tub or shower, on/off the toilet, etc? Is lighting adequate? Are there fall risks in the environment that could

HOSPICE CARE

Is It Ever Too Late For Many times, patients and families Hospice Care? mention to us, “They wish they had called hospice sooner.” Sometimes this isn’t an option. Often patients may be in an eminent situation, where a decision must be made during crisis and instantly. You may feel at that time, that you have no options, and that hospice would not be available. However, it is! Hospice care be initiated the same day as the referral is made. If you are in an eminent situation, be sure to discuss hospice care with your physician, hospital discharge team, or skilled nursing team to order hospice care with an agency that can accommodate all your transportation needs, medications, and equipment and can get everything in place that same day. Even if a patient is on hospice services for as little as one day, they will be treated for comfort, they will have any necessary medical equipment, medications, and supplies that are needed, along with Nursing and C.N.A services, Chaplain, and Social Services, wherever a patient calls home. Note, that even if a patient is only on service for one day, with Doctor’s Hospice, our Bereavement team is assigned

to the patient and their family to tend to their grief needs instantly. Our services will follow the patient’s family for 13 months after, to ensure they are grieving and recovering properly. We also offer grief groups, and a progressive grief class that

is available monthly, as well as one on one grief counseling, all of which is of no cost to the patient or the family. Many times, this is a critical piece for family who have experienced an unexpected death. When we admit a patient to hospice, we admit a family. Please consider the importance of hospice care for patients and families facing an eminent situation. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Cody Freston, MBA CEO of Doctor’s Hospice of Idaho.

Hospice Care Definitions continued 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 helps 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 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,

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. 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.

SENIOR SENIORHOUSING HOUSINGDEFINITIONS DEFINTIONS

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.

138 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – OCTOBER 2018-MARCH 2019

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

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. PRICE DEPENDENT ON LEVELS OF CARE – Flexible levels of service geared to accommodate different needs over time. Rates may vary depending on the changing levels of care while one maintains the same physical residence. PUBLIC HOUSING (PH) – affordable apartments for low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities.

RESIDENTIAL HOME – Assisted living homes are private residential homes that typically have a small number of residents who live together and receive care from live-in caretakers. Adult family homes offer room and board for seniors who want a more private, home-like community. Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing are provided. Amenities and nursing services vary greatly between homes. Ask about their services when you tour. They are also referred to as personal board and care homes. Most accept private pay; Medicaid in some instances.

INDEPENDENT LIVING / RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

The Perfect Fit – Independent and All assisted living and independent Assisted Living living communities are different so I have three easy steps to help you make the best decision possible.

1 2 3

Make a list of the things that matter to you most. Choose at least three locations. Schedule tours for each location.

Whether you’re searching for yourself or for a loved one, a comprehensive tour is the only way you can truly evaluate a community. On-site visits help you visualize and experience the nuances of each community. Don’t’ skip on-site visits, tours, and impromptu drop in’s. TIP #1 – Bring a family member or close friend as you tour- an extra pair of eyes and ears will notice things you miss and bring a broader prospective. Notice the amenities and observe the quality of care.

TIP #2 – Get the basic price that covers space plus utilities, cable, wifi, etc. Then, ask the price of adding medication management, help with daily living task, or other concerns that may present themselves as time passes. TIP #3 – Ask to be introduced to key personnel including the administrator, activity director, and RN. Were they warm and cheerful, did you feel welcome? TIP #4 – Visit a second time during mealtime and sample the food. It’s important to compare, compare, compare. An informed, well-researched decision is the best possible decision with the happiest consequences and no regrets. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Linda Hines, Grace Independent & Assisted Living - Grace Senior Communities

Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 137 and are typically based on size/location of apartment. SECURED UNIT – A secured unit dedicated to Alzheimer’s/Dementia residents to prevent wandering outside the community without supervision. SKILLED CARE – 24 hour licensed

Senior Housing Definitions continued dents and offer full assistance with ADLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Daily rates typically include a furnished bedroom and 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. 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

has been one of the hot topics for the last decade and with each passing year our families, support resources, and business communities have worked diligently, learned, developed, and grown to provide better care and finer living.

No doubt, it can be overwhelming when launching a search for the best resources or housing option for an aging loved one. My best advice is to get familiar with the many resources within your local community; make a list of what you want to know; and get started. A person’s regular physician should be able to provide medical advice as well as information on support agencies, housing options, and other essential resource materials. And let’s not forget the internet. Be careful not to get to bogged down

with the overload of data and information. Narrow down your searches; for example, enter a local search for senior living options, such as, assisted living and/or memory care to get familiar and educated by the lingo, and then, comparison shop what fits your needs and desires. In fact, you’ve already begun, read more of the articles provided right here in the Seniors Blue Book. There are excellent articles relating to Hospice, Financial Planning, Veterans Benefits with definitions, support agencies, and other beneficial agencies that can get you thinking and start filling in the blanks to your own questions, needs, and desires. Lenity Senior Living is locally owned and operated, we help you connect the dots. Stop by anytime! ~

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

Skilled Nursing – Not Yesterday’s Nursing Homes Senior care has come a long way in the last 50 years!

What used to be called nursing homes are now skilled nursing facilities. The industry has grown – and adapted to the needs and expectations of today’s seniors. Skilled nursing facilities today continue to provide housing and 24-hour skilled nursing services to seniors, but the population has in many respects changed, and so have the services and amenities. Most skilled nursing facilities now offer rehabilitation services (physical, occupational and speech therapies) in addition to nursing care. Many are professionally decorated and offer amenities for their residents such as private dining rooms for meals with family and friends, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, private rooms, ice cream parlors, fine dining and hair salons that provide services several times a week. These days, skilled nursing facilities serve two basic populations – long-term residents and short-term patients. Most people are familiar with the

long-term resident population. These are the traditional nursing home residents who are not able to take care of themselves. Long-term residents’ health problems may be physical, such as advanced age or an advanced stage of a disease, or mental, such as Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Long-term residents benefit especially from the compassionate care that the nursing teams provide, from the hands-on care of the certified nursing assistants to the clinical skills of the licensed practical nurses and registered nurses. Short-term patients are very different from long-term residents. They come to skilled nursing facilities for rehabilitation after an illness or surgery, and from the day they arrive, they set a plan of care with the professional care team. They begin to work toward their goals so they

Skilled nursing facilities address the needs of both types of customers, from nursing care and rehabilita-

tion to dietary needs, on-site laundry to activities that engage residents and patients with various interests and talents. These are just some of the core services that skilled nursing facilities offer these days. Of course, each center is unique, and some centers offer specialty services and programs, like dementia care units, Parkinson’s exercise programs or outpatient therapy. With such a diverse variety of programs and residents, today’s skilled nursing facilities are a far cry from the nursing homes of yesteryear. ~

Veranda is one of the most thoughtfully designed communities in the Treasure Valley, featuring Assisted Living apartment homes, as well as a Memory Care community. “As an emergency room physician, I could see the gap in patient care with our seniors. I thought if there were a system that could better seamlessly bring medical care to our seniors, we could see true preventative healthcare across the continuum of care. That is why we created Veranda Senior Living, the first truly seamless healthcare approach. Simply put, this approach will help our seniors stay healthy, better informed and more independent.” – Tommy Ahlquist, COO Gardner Company
