WELCOME TO A NEW WAY OF LIVING LIFE. Introducing NORTERRE, the first multigenerational community of its kind, built with heart, vision, and imagination. A health and wellness destination where young families, active adults, and seniors can live, heal, and play together in one neighborhood. Norterre is about bringing people together and not isolating them by age or ability or state of health. At Norterre, a grandmother can play with her grandson while Mom finds her Chi in a yoga class. An aspiring athlete can find his inner motivation by helping a Dad recovering from knee surgery, next to a professional athlete training for a marathon. Norterre serves as the inspiration to discover the best you can be. Because when everyone is inspired to work together, each one of us is greater than the sum of the parts. Experience a different kind of healthy lifestyle, opening in Liberty Summer 2017. Now taking reservations.

HEALTHY LIVING CENTER The 50,000-square-foot Healthy Living Center is a total mind, body and spirit support center, and an integral component of the Norterre community. featuring state-of-theart fitness facilities, yoga classes, nutrition seminars, and water therapy. Norterre will also have onsite child care, a bistro with healthy dining options, and specialty retail with easy access for all to enjoy.

Living Stress Free Stress, you have it, I have it, we all have it and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. Stress can look like emotional distress that can be seen by others: the agitation, anger, or tremors. Or maybe your stress is more subtle, maybe you don’t even think of it as stress, such as you can no longer handle certain types of foods, whether it’s nightshades, gluten, corn, or wheat, those are all signs of stress on the body. More dramatic cases of stress can lead to diseases; heart disease, blood sugar disorders from lack of a proper diet, due to stress not eating properly, or other life threatening conditions. So what can be done for stress? There are options: meditation, relaxation, a vacation, exercise or more direct therapies such as Emotional Freedom Technique (aka Tapping), journaling, and biofeedback. What we see too much of when dealing with stress is resorting to drugs. Some drugs lead to addictions and side effects, and more problems rather than solutions. Most drugs only mask the real problem.

14 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – WINTER–SUMMER 2017

So why does it seem younger people are more active, vital, and interested in life? What happens to us? As we go through life we compound stress, one stressor added to another. Dysfunctional family life, maybe the break up in high school, unplanned pregnancy, marriage, raising a family, divorce, the death of family and friends. All those things build up stress and create reactions in the body. No wonder when we look at our aging population we see numerous ailments: emotional distress, grief, depression, and in many cases just overwhelmed by life. Old life traumas build up over time and create havoc in our lives. If you were to look back on your life, whether young or old, and identify the stressors in your life, that will give you a great measuring tool for your current state of health. Take action to clear old and current stress so that you can live life to the fullest! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Jodie MacTavish, CBP, ATC, who is a Certified Biofeedback & Auricular Therapist with Healthful Transformations.

This is Your Permission slips conjure images of Permission Slip the childhood coveted “Hall Pass”, or perhaps a signature for a field trip. Permission slips of adulthood manifest as physician notes to miss work or a boss’s blessings to run with a project as we see fit or to take vacation days. Sometimes they appear as a hug that gives us permission to feel. Feel grief, feel relief, feel joy. All these examples imply a sense of freedom. Freedom to roam the halls and get that extra drink of water on the way back from the bathroom, freedom to just *be* and recover from an illness, freedom to be creative, freedom to take care of business, freedom to enjoy your afternoon as you will. Freedom to feel. Permission Slips = Freedom Permission slips as a tool? The concept of permission slips has been rebooted for me by Brenè Brown. She provides the necessary reminder that we don’t have to wait for others to hand out the permission slips we need but can write every day permission slips for ourselves.

Permission not to argue Sign this one for yourself right away. “I give myself permission not to argue (with my resident/client/ loved one with dementia) anymore.” This may be easy (or not) to write, but more difficult in practice. Arguing is likely to escalate the situation, causing everyone distress. Anytime we say “No” – we are arguing. Here are two tools to use instead of arguing: Re-frame & Reflect Re-frame: Shift from Negative to Positive Continued on page 23

Would you like ____ or ____?” Reflect: Shift from opposing to aligning “Be their mirror.” She says: “You stole my purse.” You say: (Instead of “No I didn’t.” or “No one stole your purse.”) try: “Your purse is missing?” He says: “I’m trapped. They won’t let me go home.” You say: (Instead of “You live here.” or “You can’t go home.”) try: “You feel trapped.” She says: “The food here is awful.” You say: (instead of “You have to eat.” or “Isn’t it nice to have someone cook for you.”) try: “Ugh. What sounds good right now?” This acknowledges their feeling of loss – SOMEthing – is missing – her memory, his life, her mother’s cooking – and her taste buds. This shift on your part is the start of Validation. Validation is a communication technique that allows you to relate to their experience of reality. Validation builds empathy and trust. This style of communicating takes

What Is A Power Of Attorney, and The Financial Durable Power of When Will I Ever Attorney (DPOA) is a basic legal document every adult should have. Use It? The Financial Durable Power of Attorney is even more important for seniors as they enter the chapter of life that may require leaning on another. The DPOA sets the stage for a designated individual who will have the power to assist the senior when mobility becomes an issue or at the time of a healthcare crisis. Many seniors falsely believe that they do not need a DPOA, either because they are married or because they have joint bank accounts. This is inaccurate. Unfortunately, this misconception can lead to court involvement at the time of a healthcare crisis. This type of court involvement is called a Guardianship. In order to have the ability to sign admission paperwork at a hospital, to research the limitations of a long term care policy or a health insurance policy coverage period, a DPOA is mandatory in order to avoid a Guardianship. To better understand a Financial Durable Power of Attorney, the knowledge of some terms is beneficial. The term “durable” means that the document will continue to be effective even once the client becomes incapacitated. Some powers of attorney are “springing” and some are “immediate.” Springing means the agent does not have power until the senior is incapacitated. For most

32 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – WINTER–SUMMER 2017

seniors, an immediate power of attorney is appropriate. For example, Mom suffers a stroke and requires immediate treatment. Daughter needs to step in and assume control of finances, hospital admissions, and treatment plans. In this instance, it is preferential to have a POA with immediate powers rather than one that requires the daughter to prove to the bank and other parties that Mom has been deemed incapacitated by two physicians. There are many more issues to consider when reviewing a DPOA. Some of these issues include: Who is in charge? Is this person mature and financially responsible? Does he or she have time to attend to the tasks? Is there a back-up or successor agent? Does the POA include the power to give away assets? May the agent make gifts to himself or herself? Does the agent have access to the safety deposit box and the power to remove its contents? Does the document appoint a guardian in the event this is deemed necessary? ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Samantha L.

longevity and that proper nutrition is important for seniors’ to maintain good ambulatory balance?

Recent studies have demonstrated that good nutrition is vital for seniors to live happier and safer. Yet, it is

also common to find seniors eating poorer diets as they age. This leads to a more sedentary lifestyle because a person just may not have the energy to move about much. The combination of poorer aging diets coupled with reduced muscle tone results in an increased risk of falling. Falls that include broken bones or joints often significantly reduce a senior’s lifespan. Such falls result

in many seniors passing away within the following year. Falls need to be prevented as much as possible. Nutrition is a complex science because there are so many variables. Food preferences, medications, cooking ease, fast food, preservatives, synergistic and antagonistic vitamin relationships and changing dietary needs all play into proper cellular nourishment. Nutrients, in the cells stipulate whether or not a diet is satisfying a person’s nutritional requirements. There are many steps to get vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and nutrients from their origins, to consumption, through our digestive system, into our blood stream and then across our cell walls to finally make them available for energy production and DNA protection. Even when we think we may being eating well, the “good” food may be lacking much of the nutritional value the same food had 30 or 50 years ago. Top soils in many areas of the country are simply depleted in levels needed for good dietary benefits. This is why it is common today to hear that we should be eating 8 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Now, how many of us are doing that?! Our health is built on the foundation of ample cellular nutrition. Diseases such as osteoporosis, macular

We All Need Our Beauty Sleep!

Getting enough sleep each night can improve your health, productivity and quality of life, yet poor sleep health is a common problem with 25% of adults in the U.S. Poor sleep is usually related to two main sleep disorders, sleep apnea and insomnia. The key risk factors for sleep apnea is sleep deprivation and lack of oxygen to the body. People who have sleep apnea have sleep deprivation, waking up throughout the night and not staying in a deep sleep. Sleep deprivation can make people tired, sleepy, irritable and moody. It affects memory and thought process, and can also cause depression and anxiety. Oxygen deprivation is caused by decreased, or lack of, breathing while sleeping. The lack of oxygen stresses the body. Oxygen is food for the body’s vital organs so when organs do not get adequate amounts of oxygen, they don’t function properly. It puts people at great risk for having a heart attack or stroke. The heart works harder to compensate for the lack of oxygen and blood pressure increases, which decreases blood flow to the brain. Eventually, the heart will not have the ability to keep up the

pace and the patient could end up with heart failure. Insomnia is a condition where people experience difficulty with falling asleep, staying asleep, and the sensation of light or unrestful sleep. People who have insomnia most commonly state “that their mind will not shut off” and that “they are constantly thinking about things.” It’s also contributed to stress and poor sleep habits. This condition may last for a few days or be chronic and last for years. Insomnia causes sleep deprivation issues like sleep apnea, but doesn’t have the harmful effects with oxygen deprivation. Certified sleep technologists at sleep disorder centers help people identify risk factors, diagnose sleeping disorders, and provide the treatment needed to improve their sleep health. A variety of sleep studies can determine if the patient has sleep apnea or insomnia. Take a free online sleep health assessment to see if you are at risk of developing a sleep disorder at www.stmhospital.org/sleep. ~

Even Mild Hearing Loss Mild hearing loss may be Can Change changing your brain. Your Brain New research from the University of Colorado shows that adults with hearing loss have decreased activation of the hearing portion of the brain compared with normal-hearing, age-matched adults. Adults with mild age-related hearing loss show brain changes in hearing portions of brain, which are being taken over by visual functions. This is not seen in agematched adults with normal hearing.

This means that the auditory cortex (which is used for hearing and understanding sounds) is being hijacked by visual functions instead of hearing functions in people with hearing loss. In addition, changes to the frontal lobe (which is used for higher cognitive functions such as decision-making and thinking) are also being taken over by visual functions. This makes it harder to think and pay attention. It also may explain an increased risk of falling and higher incidence of cognitive decline, social withdrawal, and fatigue among people with even mild hearing loss. 46 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – WINTER–SUMMER 2017

The good news is that early research suggests that people who are fit well with hearing aids show a reversal of these brain changes.

According to the National Institutes on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, most people who have hearing loss don’t get the help they need. Early intervention matters, so ask your doctor to refer you to see an audiologist to have your hearing tested.~ Editor’s Note: The article was written by Erika Blanchard, MS, CCC-A, Audiology Program Manager for the Idaho Elks Hearing and Balance Center.

Depression in Older Adults As adults age, they typically go through many life changes both positive and negative. The positive changes such as stronger family ties and a comfortable sense of self are usually accompanied by feelings of well-being and happiness. The negative changes such as loss of a loved one, changes in physical health and shifts in ability to live independently

are often accompanied by sadness, frustration and grief that may last for days or even weeks. Most people will notice improvement in their symptoms as time goes on, but some people feel as though their symptoms are not improving. If these symptoms persist and do not improve it is indicative of a larger issue. Depression is described as a serious medical condition in which a person feels very sad, hopeless, and unimportant and often is unable to live in a normal way. The following symptoms are some 52 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – WINTER–SUMMER 2017

of the most common found in those who are depressed: n n n

n n n n

Feeling tired Hopelessness Loss of interest in regular activities Trouble sleeping or eating Random crying spells Thoughts of suicide Restlessness or irritability

While depression is common in older adults, it is not a normal part of aging. It is important to remember that the changes mentioned above can and should be addressed with a professional. Depression is most commonly treated through a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Independently these two interventions can improve mood and reduce depression, but studies have shown that outcomes are best achieved when medication management and psychotherapy are paired together. If you are having any of the symptoms mentioned above it is important to talk to your doctor or therapist about what you are experiencing. No one has to live with depression, as it is treatable disease and can be improved with the right interventions. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Amber Reed, LSCSW.

Enable Your Physician to Better In April, 2015 Medicare law Care for YOU changed and beginning in 2017, patients will become increasingly aware of the impact of this new law, named MACRA. The stated reason for its passage was to decrease Medicare costs. But, does it?! And at what cost to those over 65? And, what does this mean for you? You have been accustomed to a system where your best interest was the focus. MACRA puts into place 2 systems that have undermined the patient (you). The physician must satisfy another master, Medicare (CMS) and their employer. Remember the phrase that one cannot serve 2 masters? Both you and your physi-

cian have a problem. One of the two systems goes by a number of names; some of which are euphemisms such as Alternative Payment Models, Accountable Care Organizations (ACO’s), or medical homes. These are versions of capitated health care. Think of capitation as an insurance carrier (like Medicare) that allots only a limited fixed amount of funds for your care no matter if you have small problems or complicated, complex, time consuming, difficult life threatening problems. So, when you have a large Continued on next page Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

problem, Medicare is not covering the actual cost for your healthcare. If your physician performs a procedure that cost them $500 and Medicare only reimburses $200 for that procedure, the physician has lost $300. So what happens? The physician’s employer “encourages” the physicians to minimize your costs....and everyone’s costs to lessen the shortfall penalty. The shortfall penalty being the amount Medicare refuses to pay. All sorts of corners may be cut. Can we wait on that hip replacement? Do you really need that test? How often do we need to see you and will a visit with the nurse practitioner suffice? Will a cheaper pacemaker work for awhile? Are you receiving full unbiased disclosure of your options? Meaning, is your physician going to say, “Our plan for your healthcare is directly influence not by what is best for you and your wellbeing but by what Medicare will pay”. In the current version of capitation, the physician group must accept significant financial risk. However, wouldn’t it be better if you decided after full disclosure of your

best options? Capitation failed on its own accord in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Patients realized that their health care was being short changed. Physicians hated the conflict of interest that disconnected them from the best interest of the patient. The second system is MIPS (“Merit

Based Incentive System”). Under the pretense of quality, Medicare controls your healthcare. Keep in mind the economic definition of ownership is defined by control. Medicare’s four tools of “quality”, resource use (cost), electronic medical records, and clinical practice improvement activity dictate many of the parameters your physician is following. Do you want your physician spending their time doing these bureaucratic tasks or taking care of you? Your doctor is penalized if he/she does not spend all that time on the computContinued on page 70

Are You Prepared For Your Seven out of ten of us are Long Term Care? going to require a period of extended care before we die. At present, this risk statically spans an average of three years with the cost of care ranging from $92,000, to $276,000 annually!

For couples, this number rises to nine in ten that at least one person will be impacted by the need for custodial or skilled care, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, transferring, and incontinence) or some form of cognitive impairment such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. Medicare does not cover the costs of Long Term Care. Greater longevity, advances in medicine and medical science, means that our society will continue to age. Baby Boomers are now turning 65 at the rate of 10,000 per day. Many have already lived this nightmare with parents and other family members, often having to place beloved family members in facilities funded by Medicaid but only after having to spend down their assets to a poverty level and relinquish their independence. More than ever, there is now a

choice to be had; an insurance policy that guards against families losing their hard saved earnings, and individuals losing their independence, dignity, and access to quality care. The long term care industry has been around since 1974, and several of the major carriers are launching some very creative solutions that address this pandemic issue as well as providing the public with choices that include linking long term care insurance benefits with those of life insurance and annuities. Since health qualification is a hurdle that confounds a good number of applicants, it is best to look at this coverage as early as age 40. Younger ages not only bode well with passing underwriting criteria, but also keeps premiums at a very modest level. So ask yourself, “If I insure myself against the minimal risks affecting my home, my car, and my overall acute health needs issues, why haven’t I insured against this far greater risk of an eventual Long Term Care event?” ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Western Slope Long Term Care Solutions.

Medicare 101 – Medicare is a government-run health program available to most US How Does It citizens who attain the age of 65 All Work? or are on social security disability for a period of at least two years.

Part A, in general, covers hospitalizations and nursing facility care. It normally has no cost. Part B covers many other medical services such as doctor office visits, out-patient procedures, durable medical equipment, preventative services and screenings, physical therapy and emergency room coverage. In 2016 the base rate is 121.80 per month for part B. Medigap Some individuals choose to stay on “Original Medicare” and add a Supplement or Medigap to fill in the holes Medicare left for them to pay. The most common supplement is called “Plan F”. This covers all costs left over by Medicare so the person ends up with no out of pocket medical expenses. Those who choose this coverage also need to purchase a stand-alone drug plan unless they have work coverage or some government drug plan such as the VA.

Advantage Plans Advantage Plans allow a private insurance company to take on the risk and administer the health benefits of a Medicare participant instead of the government. The insurance company receives a reimbursement from the government which funds the Medicare Advantage plan. Many Medicare Advantage plans offer prescription drug coverage. Advantage plans generally carry a low monthly premium, even $0. Advantage plans carry small, predictable co-pays such as $5-$35 for a doctor’s visit. Advantage plans also offer additional coverage that original Medicare and supplements may not. These may include a gym membership, limited dental and vision coverage, and podiatry services. Those who purchase an advantage plan do so to take advantage of the low monthly cost and predictable co-pays. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Aaron Flake, Health Advisor.

er entering many irrelevant details currently. MIPS makes the situation much worse with a massive laundry list and much greater penalties. You, the patient, define quality, as quality and value are determined individually. Check out the diamond - water paradox, if you doubt me on the importance of the individual, you. This second system MIPS does not prioritize an unencumbered effective private visit with your physician. So how can you let your physician take care of you, practice medicine, and get the government out of your exam room? There is no white knight coming to rescue you. Help yourself and your physician. Call Congress. Start with a hello and a good morning. Then state that you have some concerns about Medicare’s MACRA, and ask your member of Congress to:

Meanwhile, heads up and make sure you ask your physicians for the best option for the long term, not necessarily some cheaper option that might get by for today. THINK ABOUT THIS: Who do you want your doctor working for? You or the government? The original 1965 Medicare law did not give the government control. Section 1801.

The Small Space Considering downsizing? There Advantage are many benefits to moving into a smaller space that you may not have thought about.

There are some obvious advantages to many of the smaller home communities out there in terms of amenities and social opportunity, but here are a few less blatant reasons to downsize. Save money: Bills in a small space will be tremendously lower than in a large home, so you will naturally begin to save money after downsizing. If the overall lower cost of living in a smaller space isn’t appealing enough for you, downsizing will save you money in other ways as well. Since downsizing means you’ll have less space to fill with stuff, you’ll find yourself shopping less, and you’ll fill your space solely with practical items that fit with your new style of organization. More free time: Many people who move into an apartment or community after owning a home find themselves with more free time. Since you no longer have an overwhelming list of chores to take care of — the gardening, landscaping, and endless cleaning are drastically reduced — you’ll have time to do things that

you really love and take up the old hobbies you’ve been neglecting as a homeowner. A new sense of what matters: As you adjust to your new place, you might begin to feel a refreshed sense of what is really important in your life. By reducing the amount

of clutter (which will undoubtedly be necessary when you move), you will be better able to separate the things that have meaning from the ones that don’t. With a bigger budget and more free time, the money you do end up spending will likely go toward experiences, rather than frivolous purchases. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ben Souchek, the foremost authority on the realities of what to expect when selling a house with The Sierra Group.

Benefits of Short-term Short-term rehabilitation is Rehab designed to help people make a safe and comfortable transition between post-acute care and home. Typically lasting 21 days or less, short-term rehab can be extremely beneficial following a surgery or hospitalization after an injury, stroke or major medical issue. One big benefit of short-term rehab is that it can target a variety of needs. Many programs offer physical, occupational, speech, respiratory and cardiac rehabilitation services. By offering a comprehensive array of therapies and rehabilitative services, short-term rehabs can address each patient’s unique needs.

it’s also important to be attentive, caring and empathetic. Employing a sufficient number of staff is critical as well, as health and recovery issues can arise when patients’ needs aren’t met promptly. Short-term rehab programs are often located within skilled nursing facilities, meaning that if a short-term rehab patient’s health takes a turn, they are able to easily move that patient into skilled nursing for more intensive care until a strong recovery is made. This puts less stress on the patient during a vulnerable time, as transitioning between facilities can be difficult and disorienting.

Another benefit of short-term rehab facilities is a more comfortable environment. Hospitals can often feel clinical, but the right rehab facility is clean and modern with a warm, comforting ambiance. Many rehab centers also offer amenities such as rehabilitation gyms, concierge services, private rooms and bathrooms, and cable TV and WiFi access.

When choosing short-term rehab care, it’s important to select a program that meets your needs. Do your research: ask lots of questions, talk to current or former patients and have loved ones visit the facility. Not only does an informed decision make for a more comfortable rehab experience, it can maximize recovery. ~

Staff is key to the rehabilitation experience, too. It’s essential they are qualified and experienced, but

Non-Surgical Pain For a multitude of reasons, consumers Relief Alternatives are seeking more conservative treatment for their health care and that of their loved ones. While making health care decisions, non-surgical alternatives may be considered.

Bioelectrical Therapies Bioelectrical therapies have been increasingly used in medicine over the last few years as a non-surgical means of effecting cures for a variety of pains and ailments, for assisting normal healing processes to occur earlier and better, and as prevention method against the occurrence of undesirable side effects. These therapies include Low Level Laser and Interferential Therapies. These therapies stimulate the natural healing power in the cells of the body using photon (light) energy or electromedicine (interferential) energy to stimulate the activity of cell components. By using these therapies, patients have a simple, effective, non-pharmacological medical alternative. Conservative management of acute and chronic injuries and post-operative wounds has come to include the use of these therapies because they are quick, effective and easy to administer. These therapies can be effective in the treatment of chronic pain, acute (traumatic) pain, repetitive stress injury (RSI), carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), tennis/golf elbow, sport injuries, TMJ disorders, neck

and back pain, arthritis, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, non-healing ulcers, soft tissue injuries, acne, eczema, herpes simplex, inflammatory skin conditions, hematomas, burns, and post-operative wounds. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression This type of decompression across the intervertebral disks and associated structures serves to take pressure off spinal nerves and open intervertebral spaces. Irregularities across the pelvic area, hips, spine, rib cage and shoulder complex can often be assessed and treated in non-surgical spinal decompression. This type of in-depth biomechanical assessment allows accurate diagnosis of any underlying structural issues that may be contributing to a patient’s often complicated and chronic problem. This collaboration of specialized decompression treatments with advanced biomechanical and postural correction can usually be found in specialized local clinics. How do you know if you are a candidate for these types of non-surgical pain relief alternatives? If you have taken pain medications, tried physical therapy, have been to the chiropractor or considered surgery, then nonsurgical pain relief alternatives such as bioelectric therapies and non-surgical spinal decompression might be right for you. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jere G.

Encouraging Independence Essential Seniors who can do for themselves to Senior’s Quality are typically more content with of Life life than those who depend fully on others.

In-home senior care services provide compassionate care and encourage seniors to stay as active as possible and do as much for themselves as they are able. A truly interactive approach to caregiving can offer seniors companionship as well as assistance with those activities of daily living that can be challenging – for example; getting in and out of bed or standing from a chair. This approach encourages seniors to stay physically active. And the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality says that physical activity preserves and improves seniors’ ability to function well and maintain independence, even when they have health problems. In addition to encouraging seniors to stay involved in household tasks like housecleaning, laundry and meal preparation, in-home care provides opportunities to get regular physical exercise, such as walking, and mental exercise, such as playing games, working on puzzles and staying engaged in hobbies. Physical exercise contributes to seniors’ independence in a variety of ways. It increases metabolism to control weight and helps build

muscle mass, which further enhances the ability to burn calories and lose weight—which in turn makes it easier to stay physically active. Physical activity also positively impacts control of health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. It improves immune function, which reduces the risk of acquiring infections. It also promotes heart health, increases bone density, and enhances mobility, flexibility and balance—which all contribute to lowering seniors’ risk of falls. Additionally, improved physical health contributes to improved self-esteem, self-confidence, mental health and ability to sleep. Activity, physical and mental, boosts brain function, preventing memory loss, slowing cognitive decline and reducing the risk of dementia. To sum it all up, encouraging your senior loved one to live as independently as possible—and providing him or her the assistance needed for safe, in-home living— boosts quality of life. ~

The Grieving Process Everyone grieves differently. Grieving is a very personal and highly individual experience. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith and the nature of the loss. The grieving process takes time. Healing happens gradually; it can’t be forced or hurried. There is no “normal” timetable for grieving. Some people start to feel better in weeks or months while for others it takes years. Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow the process to naturally unfold. The following misconceptions and beliefs are prevalent in our culture and reflect a misunderstanding of the grief process. Absolute statements mistakenly attempt to provide information for how grief is experienced and result in hindering rather than helping people through their grief. n n

n n

Time takes care of everything The pain will go away faster if you ignore it I t’s important to ‘be strong’ in the face of loss If you don’t cry, it means you aren’t sorry about the loss Grief lasts six months to a year Grief always brings family together You can grieve too much

The five grief responses are: n

Denial: “This can’t be happening to me.” Anger: “Why is this happening to me? Who is to blame?” Bargaining: “Make this not happen and in return I will_____.” Depression: “I’m too sad to do anything.” cceptance: “I’m at peace with A what happened.”

If you are experiencing any of these emotions following a loss, know that your reaction is natural and keep in mind that not everyone who grieves goes through all of these stages. These are not stops on some linear timeline. Some people resolve their grief without going through any of these stages. Contrary to popular belief you do not have to go through every stage to heal. Don’t worry about what you ‘should’ be feeling or which stage you’re supposed to be in at any particular time. The grieving process is as individual as our lives. Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow the process to unfold naturally. ~

Veterans and Spouses The Aid and Attendance Pension was initiated by Congress in 1951 to ensure that senior Veterans and spouses could conserve retirement dollars by receiving a pension benefit for health related expenses. Those that served the country deserve the benefits they’ve earned to remain independent in their homes. The Aid and Attendance VA pension provides money to pay for assistance with everyday activities of daily living (ADL’s). The pension is paid monthly to the Veteran or Widow to use at their discretion for the rest of their life. In five years this pension may provide up to $127,200, tax free, to help Veterans and their Widows pay medical expenses. The basic requirements for the standard pension are:

1 2 3 4

Veteran at least 65 years of age (Widows can be any age) Served active military for 90 days continuous Served at least one day during a period of war No dishonorable discharge

Individuals who exceed VA regulation asset limits may need the services of a VA Accredited Estate Attorney to receive the pension, 100 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – WINTER–SUMMER 2017

while most veterans and widows will qualify without any attorney assistance. You do not need to be impoverished as this pension is not a welfare program. The application is filed by Veteran Service Officers (VSO’s) who are versed in the application process and whom also interact with the VA as your advocate. Financial Companies that specialize in assisting Veterans and Spouses with Home Care expenses can cover the in-home care costs prior to the pension starting, and will work with the Veteran to keep them enrolled for the duration of their lives. This private financial assistance program allows for care to begin within days of the application being fully submitted and before the VA determines eligibility, which can take up to 12 months. These financial services carry no risks, costs or obligations to Veterans or Widows. This financial program has been reviewed by both the VA and the Utah Department of Veterans Affairs. It has been operating nationally for years and is now available in Utah! You served our country, claim your pension! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Dr. Mark O. Bowman, owner of Home Care Assistance of Utah.

A Call for KanCare Ombudsman Approximately 430,000 Volunteers Kansans currently receive Medicaid. The KanCare Ombudsman Volunteer Program helps new applicants and current members who have questions or issues.

Certified Ombudsman Volunteers are the heart of this program. You don’t have to be an expert on Medicaid to volunteer; you will learn as you help others. Volunteers receive, at no cost, a minimum of 30 hours training and mentoring by an experienced staff member prior to starting their services as well as ongoing, continuing education. The program is currently taking applications for volunteers in the Kansas City Metro and Wichita areas for those interested in providing a community service by assisting Kansas Medicaid members in resolving problems regarding their services, coverage, access and rights. Do you have compassion, respect for others, good communication skills and at least three hours a week to serve KanCare members? Consider being a part of this team.

104 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – WINTER–SUMMER 2017

For more information on volunteering or questions about the program please contact the KanCare Ombudsman Volunteer Coordinator at Lisa.Churchill@ks.gov or call (785) 296-2081. Let’s work together to help Kansas Medicaid consumers get their questions answered. ~

Volunteers Needed Kansas City Northern Railroad provides miles of smiles and fun for families of all ages and for VOLUNTEERS. Volunteers run and are responsible for all aspects of the operations, from repair and maintaining the trains and tracks to ticket sales. New volunteers are always welcome and needed. No experience is necessary. We will train for any position. If you are interested in joining our great crew, contact us during operating hours or during one of our 7:00 PM Wednesday night meetings. The Kansas City Northern Railroad, a volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, was formed in 1984 when the Kansas City Parks & Recreation Department asked for volunteers to restore and operate the former Kansas City Zoo train that had been in Swope Park. That was the red train, Kansas City Southern No. 31, named the Southern Belle. It started carrying passengers at the Kansas City Zoo in 1953 and ran in Swope Park until 1972

106 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – WINTER–SUMMER 2017

when it was retired and stored until 1984. The volunteers worked 8 years setting up the track and restoring that first train. It was the first train on the Kansas City Northern Railroad when operation commenced in July 1992. Two restored Miniature Train Company (MTC) and one Allen Herschell G-16 trains operate on ½ mile of track in Frank Vaydik / Line Creek Park, Kansas City, Missouri at 60th Street and NW Waukomis Drive. The trains operate on Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and on Sundays and Holidays from noon until 6 PM from the first weekend in May to the last weekend in September. E-mail: info@kcnrr Telephone: 816-746-5663. We usually answer on Wednesday and Friday afternoons during the off season. It is answered during normal operating hours May - September.~ 100% of our fares and donations go toward maintenance and improvements.

As our parents grow older, we want them to have the ability to age in their own home, and to many of us this solution seems simple – merely place someone with little or no training in our parents’ home with minimal professional supervision as we would do a babysitter for a child to cook, clean, and hopefully prevent falls and accidents, and that’s that. Unfortunately, this is the worst possible approach to home care for an older adult where their needs to age well differ from those of a child and their physical and mental condition can change and deteriorate rapidly, leading to a significant medical event that could have potentially been preventable with the right care provided in their home. Senior care is a complicated process; it requires a personalized, structured approach that involves a myriad of areas tailored to our loved ones’ individual needs and specific conditions. Done right, senior home care ensures that loved ones: n

age healthy, successfully and comfortably so they are able to enjoy independence in their own home and community are actively engaged in order to maintain their cognitive functioning

a re receiving proper nutrition, hydration, and sensory stimulation and are feeling a sense of achievement and belonging by participating and engaging in individual-specific activities

HEALTH AT HOME

What It Really Takes to By 2020 56 million Americans will Care for a Loved be 65 and older, and 9 out of 10 of these individuals want to stay One at Home at home for as long as possible.

Doing senior care right requires methodology, process, communication, empathy, coordination, instruction, supervision to provide the combination of person-centered holistic care using evidence-based practices. To age successfully, seniors need a plan of care that is developed by a healthcare professional, e.g., a registered nurse. The plan of care must address an individual’s conditions and contain activities that are personally meaningful to them. The plan must be regularly monitored and updated by a professional clinician. It must be implemented by a caregiver who is carefully screened, trained properly, oriented to the case and regularly supervised by a healthcare professional. That is how home care is done right. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Steven B. Katz JD, MBA, LLM, MPH, CPA, CMC, CDP & Certified Geriatric Care Manager.

What to Expect When You Hire Home Care You might ask a caregiver to prepare breakfast, or help with some basic household chores. Perhaps you need assistance transferring your loved one from the bed or transporting him to medical appointments, whatever your needs, licensed caregivers help by providing nonmedical care and companionship to older adults in the places they call home. How to Hire a Caregiver The process of hiring a caregiver begins the moment you call an agency. Many licensed agencies can be found in this guide, others through a Web search, or by referrals from area senior centers or the county department of aging. After you reach out, most agencies will provide a free, in-home assessment to help identify the scope of care and then develop a comprehensive care plan for your loved one. You should also expect a home care agency to match your loved ones’ needs and preferences to a caregiver who shares similar expertise and interests. If the match doesn’t lead to a comfortable connection, ask the agency to provide another caregiver.

And don’t be afraid to ask about caregiver training and agency hiring practices. The best agencies will adhere to rigorous requirements including criminal background checks, drug screenings, and a check of the driving records. Ongoing Updates and Communication While caregivers offer daily assistance, expect agency administrators to handle the business end of billings and scheduling. Some may even help families access their long-term care insurance to cover the costs of home care. This kind of administrative support allows the caregiver to do what she does best, care for your loved one and to document the daily routine so that family members and other care providers can stay up-todate on the older adults’ needs. When hiring home care look for the agency that not only delivers compassionate care to your loved one, but also provides peace of mind for the entire family.~

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Making Your Visits to An Many family members strugElder Meaningful gle, feel guilty or don’t know what to do or say when visiting their loved one in a facility.

There are many different activities you can try to make the most of your time together. Based on their capabilities, most elders enjoy keeping busy, with both their minds and their hands. When in a facility, always check with the nurses regarding their limits and be aware when they need to rest. Try these ideas; n Look at photos, picture books, play cards, board games, puzzles, do crafts n Make a scrapbook with them about their life, listen to their stories and experiences. n If you can take them out, go to the park, a museum, etc. n Bring your pet (if in a facility, they need to approve first) n Watch musicals, comedies or TV shows from their era n Read aloud newspapers or books and discuss Most elders enjoy and benefit from music, art and touch. Explore art books and magazines. Different colors and images promote conversation, memories and emotions. Play music they love. You can always find things on YouTube. If you aren’t sure, try Big Band, Gospel, or Show tunes. Many times, even those with dementia, can recall

lyrics or tunes. If they have some range of motion…dance! If they are unable to get out of their wheelchair or bed, encourage movement like swaying arms. Most people enjoy and benefit from touch. Giving a gentle massage, hugs, and holding hands often brings comfort (be aware of signs of pain if they are non-verbal) if you cannot think of what to do or say, simply hold your loved one’s hand and tell them you love them. Take responsibility for making these visits worthwhile. Turn something you may view as a chore into a fun event. Take the challenge of creating a memorable visit that you both will enjoy. If one idea doesn’t succeed, keep trying. And something that brings joy one week, may cause agitation or boredom the next. Remember, you are there because you love them. Even if they don’t always remember you, you remember them. Don’t give up, don’t stop going, especially if they are nearing the end of life. I always say, “I cannot change one’s diagnosis, but I can change the way someone lives out their days.” So can you. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Melissa Plourde, LSW, CDP Private Pay Manager for Care Solutions, Health Care Staffing.

Hospice Care Definitions

RE-Respite Care – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Ideally, this service is provided for five consecutive days. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility, at no cost to the patient or the family. GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. 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 Continued on next page Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 133

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions 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, composition, improvisation, or Continued on page 146

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Many families struggle with the thought of placing their loved on hospice. They often feel like they are writing a death sentence and prematurely causing fatality. Emotions are running strong, especially the feeling of guilt. If families could step away from the emotions and understand the logic and numbers behind hospice, they would feel comforted and it would calm their fears. Studies show Hospice adds quality of life while postponing aggressive treatments. In one study, researchers followed 4,496 Medicare patients with either terminal cancer or congestive heart failure. They found no difference in survival time between hospice and non-hospice patients with breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. Moreover, hospice care seemed to extend survival time for select patients: those with pancreatic cancer gained an average of three weeks, those with lung cancer gained six weeks and those with congestive heart failure gained three months. How does hospice accomplish increasing survival time of a patient? Hospice is designed to put the person back in the center of his/her health and allow them to take back control of their life. How does hos-

pice place the patient in charge of their care? This is accomplished by the work of a dedicated team of hospice professionals, who understand. This includes the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of a person with a life limiting illness. The patient and their family members are included in the creation of the care plan. Visit times are coordinated with busy family schedules. Symptoms and pain are managed instead of the patient experiencing extreme side effects. Hospice is able to add non-traditional modalities of health care such as Chaplin services; music, massage and aroma therapy. The addition of all these services empowers a family to be able to care for their loved one in the privacy of their home. As a hospice agency, we often hear family’s express gratitude for patient centered care. Here are several examples of our patients’ family members’ comments: n “Hospice has given my family the power to take control of my dad’s cancer.” n “Hospice has provided the support to bring my family together to share in an amazing experience of love in giving to my dad what he wanted most.

“ Hospice has provided this opportunity with the amazing team members that give the service our family has needed to spend the last moments making memories instead of being held hostage with hospital routines that you have no control over.”

Hospice is a wonderful Medicare benefit which provides compassionate end of life care. It allows for families to have physical and emotional support during this difficult time. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Kris Carter, Executive Director of Aspire Home Health and Hospice.

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions 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 this to their patients.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

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. VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

Senior Housing Definitions AGE RESTRICTIONS – Some communities have a restriction on the youngest age they are allowed to accept. These restrictions vary by community.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

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.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

nities 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.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Jane Silverstain is enjoying the caressing rays of the morning sun. Her husband, Benjamin is seated next to her helping to hold her favorite coffee cup and steady her tremulous hands. Jane has Parkinson’s disease as well as dementia. Benjamin, also in his late 80’s had a recent heart attack and his chronic diabetes has decreased the sensation in his feet. A knock at the door by Mary, their caregiver, is a welcome interruption to their morning quiet time. It is time for their medications, assisting Jane with bathing and dressing the wounds from the ulcers on Benjamin’s feet. “Oh Mary, good to see you!” Mrs. Silverstain responds, acknowledging her with a big smile and recognizing Mary who has been her care giver for the last year. Jane will now accept assistance with activities of daily living and is cooperative. Benjamin can go grocery shopping after Mary dresses his wounds. Dementia is a subject that most people try to avoid but as the fastest growing disease worldwide each of us will be confronted by it directly or indirectly. In the United States there are already an estimated five million suffering from Alzheimer’s, the seventh leading cause of death. Home Health Agencies in their efforts to provide comprehensive skilled nursing care must also be well versed in addressing dementia cases. The fundamental principle is to set daily routines. In the case of

Jane small details such as a favorite cup, while it may not matter to the caregiver, may be crucial for the assisted person. Routines provide maximum independence with minimal assistance while maintaining the dignity of the individual by: n Maintaining functionality though daily exercise (mental and physical) n Reducing anxiety for the caregiver and the person with dementia n Giving the person with dementia the comfort needed to accomplish their daily tasks n Organizing the delivery of care by the caregiver n Decreasing the chance of challenging behaviors n Fostering independence n Increasing self-esteem and confidence n Adjusting routines as dementia progresses by simplifying complex tasks. As dementia cases are expected to increase, competency in caring for the individual with dementia is a big challenge. Family members and Home Health Agencies need to place emphasis on understanding the complex nature of dementia. It is easy to dress a wound or administer medications, but behind these needs is a person whose dignity and independence should be valued and upheld. ~

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

The birth of Assisted Living originated in the Nordic Countries of Europe when communities realized their population of seniors were being underserved. Assisted Living was created to help seniors age comfortably in one place. For all of us there comes a time in the life of any family when an older person becomes unsafe or unable to be left alone for extended periods of

time in their home. There are many factors that determine when the decision needs to be made. Often times that ultimate decision is left longer than it should be. Families should recognize the definitive signs that people need to be aware of, such as: forgetfulness, weight loss, depression, loss of safety or social cues, or no longer addressing daily personal hygiene.

Daily routines in Assisted Living look different for each senior depending on that senior’s desires and care needs. For example: healthy meals, medication management, life-enriching activities, scheduled transportation and many other amenities are available. Care needs are different for each resident and should be tailored to their preferences. Choices should be paramount, as each senior celebrates their independence. The staff should be dedicated to serving each resident with compassion and understanding.

ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

When Is It Time?

If any of the above signs raise awareness or concerns then here is your opportunity to begin the process of finding the right community for your loved one. The right Senior Community should reflect your loved one’s values, personality, wants and needs. It should also offer a philosophy of service that gives each senior the freedom to live each day in the way they desire. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Mary Hall-Smith, Community Relations Director, Willow Park Assisted Living & Memory Care.

Good Nutrition Cannot Be Overlooked continued from page 43

degeneration, strokes, arthritis and dementia, in fact all chronic diseases are correlated to low cellular saturation of vital nutrients. Your cells’ genetic (DNA) material requires antioxidants from foods as protections against destructive molecules that are constantly bombarding it. These free-radicles attack the cells’ genetic makeup and may result in DNA changes that create mutant cells found in cancers. Fortunately, science has been simplifying nutritional barriers and making it easier to achieve proper cellular results. Today, one’s antioxidant status can be measured. A person, with a 30-second, non-invasive, painless, light scan of their hand can know their score. Measurements create motivations. People empowered with their per-

sonal vitamin measurement work to improve it by eating better and by filling in their nutrient gaps with scientifically proven supplementation. The Journal of the American Medical Association indicated that all people should take supplements. This is even more important for seniors who want to feed their cells while maintaining or improving their balance when walking. Seniors should know their antioxidant levels are improving. Get tested regularly! ~

Exploring options for an assisted living facility can be daunting. Potential residents and families often become overwhelmed with all the options that are becoming available.

but to one another, so as to offer the best possible person centered care. Another advantage is that the residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care community remains the same. This is convenient for them as well as their family members.

One may wonder what the differences are between a retirement community, an assisted living community, enriched housing, a memory care community and a skilled nursing facility. What do they all mean?

Many assisted living facilities that are not a part of a continuum or campus of care refer to particular skilled nursing facilities. Be sure to ask what their policies are in terms of criteria for discharge and support during the process. Do not be afraid to ask these questions as they pertain to the care and well being of your loved one. Most facilities are very helpful and have staff that specifically help with transitioning.

A Continuum of Care community is one that partners with levels of care on their campus as people age or become more compromised. It often begins, but not exclusively, with a retirement community. Within the community will be an Assisted Living component and a skilled nursing component. As the resident needs more help, they are moving within the community with the support of a comprehensive healthcare team that knows them well. This has become the trend in long term health care. The advantage to living in such a community is the promise of caring for your loved one through their elder years. The care team is always available to provide help and support not only to the family and the resident,

A Campus of Care

A Campus of Care or a Continuum of Care Community is the most convenient and often the best option when looking for a residence for your loved one. As people are living longer and healthier into their elder years, this safety net may be just what most offers the security families need. ~ Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This article was submitted by Maria Scaros-Mercado, Executive Director at The Greens at Greenwich and John Pasheluk, Administrator at Greenwich Woods Rehabilitation & Health Center.
