RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Welcome to our 20192020 Fall edition of the Northern Colorado Seniors Blue Book. I have been lucky to work with so many wonderful Seniors, Caregivers and Senior professionals this year in preparing the guide. This Seniors Blue Book is your complete book of resources, designed specifically for seniors, their adult children/caregivers and our respected senior industry professionals who serve seniors each and every day Your Seniors Blue Book team works hard to keep up with industry changes, and we focus our daily efforts on bringing you the most current resources available – both in print and online as well as via numerous social media outlets. As a tried and true ‘Authoritative Publication’ our entire mission is to provide our readership with everything they need to navigate the resources they need – and share resources they might not even realize exists. Check out our Housing and Health at Home comparison grids in the green and

purple chapters. These grids display specific amenities, pricing and services so that you can compare companies…remember, you always have the right to choose your providers. We have some fabulous educational articles written by industry professionals ranging from Medicaid Planning, Medicare Options, Music Therapy, and Home Care. We are also pleased to share a Special Feature 4-Page insert of contact and service information supplied to you by the Larimer County Area Agency on Aging! You can check that out on pages 12-15.

Five Key Considerations as You Plan How do I navigate costs for care as For Your Future I get older and need more support? We work hard for financial assets built over a lifetime and may not want those assets drained by long-term care costs or medical bills. Proper planning (including Trusts and other estate planning documents) allows you to maximize benefits, like Medicare and VA, to ensure your family home and other assets are not subject to recovery by the government. What happens when I can no longer make medical and financial decisions? While we hope to always be involved in medical and financial decision-making, sometimes that is not possible. If the power to make decisions is ever not your own, ensure you have nominated the right people for this role through Powers of Attorney. When someone has not done so court proceedings determine who will step in to make decisions for you. Understanding how the process works and what your rights and responsibilities are is critical. Do I really need an Estate Plan? Everyone needs proper documentation in place that shares your wishes. How do you want your assets distributed? Are there special considerations like disabili-

ties or beneficiaries who need more support? Can I protect assets and beneficiaries so nothing is wasted, stolen, or used unwisely? You can also determine who makes decisions for you while you are alive and after you pass away. Why should I have Powers of Attorney? These documents allow you to nominate someone to make decisions for you while you are still alive, for both medical and financial situations, making that person legally responsible for acting on your behalf. You can make the decision, not a court proceeding. Can I really avoid Probate? Probate is the court procedure by which your assets are transferred after you die to those you name in your Will, or to the people listed in the inheritance statutes of Colorado. Probate is public and it can take 8 to 12 months or more to resolve everything, even in the simplest of cases. A Living Trust can help avoid probate, simplifying the process for your loved ones. ~ Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This article was submitted by Andrew P.

Improving Seniors’ Lives As we grow older, good nutrition Through Food! is still essential, but may become more of a challenge for aging adults. Getting to the grocery store alone can become an obstacle; as well as, having the mobility and endurance to actually prepare nutritious meals on a daily basis. Although some delivery services like Meals on Wheels can be convenient, they are not customized to the individual’s preferences nor do they provide companionship. Boxed meal delivery services still need to be prepared, they’re not highly customized, and can be ex-

pensive. Some home care services provide meal prep, but the care provider probably is not a trained Chef. Chefs for Seniors provide personalized meals prepared in the home by a professional Chef. Meals are customized to individual tastes and dietary needs. It is our mission to change the life of Seniors, one delicious meal at a time! ~

3 Facts to Know Regarding Social Security, Medicare and Every day I hear information that has been shared that is not completely Long Term Care accurate. Often times, I am talking to people about their planning goals and they are letting these pieces of information keep them from understanding how it applies to them. Here are three quick items to provide you a better understanding so you can choose how they specifically impact you and your own planning:

Social Security is going broke is often the headline we see. According to the Trustees Report released on April 25, 2019, it is estimated that the two trust funds would run out of money by 2035. That is absolutely true, however when the funds are depleted and if Congress does nothing, they will use taxes currently being collected to pay those obligations. Benefits may need to be reduced from current estimations IF Congress does nothing.

If I work, I will not get my Social Security. This is not entirely true. If you decide to collect social security before your FULL retirement age, for those born between 1943 and 1954, the age is 66, your benefit is reduced by $1.00 for each $2.00 you earn above the earning’s 32 NORTHERN COLORADO - OCTOBER 2019-2020

limit. After full retirement age, the amount you earn does not impact your benefit.

Medicare or Medicaid will cover Long Term Care. This is one of the biggest misconceptions I hear. Medicare provides for skilled care in a nursing home ONLY while you are recuperating following a hospital stay for a related conditions and only for 100 days. Please note that Medicare does not cover long-term care or custodial care. Medicaid is for people with very low assets and limited income. As Joe Friday used to say, “Just the facts ma’am.” Demand that all the information needed to make a decision for YOUR situation is provided. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Anthony Cisneros, CRPC® CRPS®.

two questions are commonly asked by Medicare beneficiaries when considering whether to change their health plan. Unfortunately, opportunities to look beyond costs and coverage are sometimes overlooked. There are many other factors to investigate when reviewing plans and considering change. Of most importance is quality of care. The level and quality of care associated with a health plan can play a significant role in the healthcare experience as well as overall health of the member. Find out: what are the quality ratings associated with plans being considered? What does the plan offer that would be valuable to me? Do they simply provide insurance, or do they plan an active role in helping members to obtain or maintain good health standing? Health plans are easy when healthy… what about when sick? What resources are provided to assist in that time of need? Also consider time and communication are the two most crucial elements to success in healthcare yet not all organizations recognize this as many only promote low cost coverage or choice in marketing materials. Consider what role(s), if any, the health plan being considered play in helping the member to reduce

time wasted navigating the system or ensuring proper communication is taking place. Can members only access care in person? Chat? Email? Video? Phone? Text? How hard is it (or easy) for a member to communicate when needed? How soon does one get a response?

It is not easy to know which plan is best for everyone. It can be a difficult decision. However, seeking to gain a better understanding with respect to quality, time, and communication will help maximize opportunity to make a choice that is comfortable and appropriate. Do yourself a favor and dig a little deeper when looking for a plan. You will thank yourself for it later. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Matt Engstrom, MBA, a Medicare Sales Manager at Kaiser Permanente and may be reached at 303-338-3353.

Hearing Loss and Tinnitus Signs of hearing loss include asking people to repeat what they have said, hearing but not understanding speech, and trouble communicating in the presence of background noise. Tinnitus is also a sign of hearing loss. Many people report hearing ringing, buzzing, humming and cricket sounds. Nearly 50 million Americans experience some type of hearing loss, with approximately 20 million dealing with some type of Tinnitus. Tinnitus is your brain’s reaction to a loss of signal from your ear, it’s not a disease in and of itself, but rather a symptom. 38 NORTHERN COLORADO - OCTOBER 2019-2020

Do you experience symptoms of Tinnitus, but have been told that you will just have to live with it? Although there is no cure, Susan has developed her own unique, proven treatment options. Over the past 20 years, Susan has had the opportunity to help hundreds of patients, by listening to each of their needs and treating symptoms individually. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Susan Baker, the owner/ operator at Advanced Hearing Services and may be reached at 970-221-5249 or by email at susan@advancedhearing.net with any questions.

Boulder Neurosurgical & Spine Associates

An ombudsman is an advocate for residents of nursing homes, board and care homes, and assisted living facilities who is trained to resolve problems. Under the federal Older Americans Act, every state is required to have an ombudsman program that addresses residents’ complaints and advocates for improvements in the longterm care system. While ombudsmen do not have direct authority to require action by a facility, they have the responsibility to negotiate on a resident’s behalf and to work with other state agencies for effective enforcement.

FHA Lifts Ban On Non FHA Approved Condos For Future HECM Loans Door Opens For Spot Approvals For Reverse Mortgage Financing.

As the HECM loan, known by most as the reverse mortgage, gains momentum in our industry, there has always been one insurmountable wall that continued to prevent seniors from enjoying the home of their choice – the Non FHA approved Condo market. Recently, FHA has made a change for the benefit of many: our aging population, many beautiful existing and new condominium projects, builders/developers, Realtors and lenders. Prior to this ruling, many people who wished to take advantage of the FHA HECM (Reverse Mortgage) found that more than 90% of the condos they wished to purchase or refinance

were excluded from the program. Benefits for this change reach well beyond expanding the choices seniors have for the homes they can now choose to spend their retirement years in. Thank you FHA for realizing that allowing HECMs in many condo associations that were once excluded, is a boon to the entire economic industry that will be felt by many, but, mostly, to those the program exists to help: Seniors! ~ Editor’s Note: Submitted by Peggy Sage, HECM Specialist, NMLS #322344, a Senior Loan Originator with Independent Financial and may be reached at 970-691-4648 or by email at psage@ibtx. com.

HEALTH AT HOME - HOME HEALTH AGENCIES

Bridging the Gap from Hospital to For some, hospital discharge Home and Hospice papers can feel like freedom. For others, it can feel like sentencing. What happens when that person is your loved one? Leaving the hospital does not have to mean going through this journey alone. It also doesn’t have to mean relying on a close family member to sacrifice time, resources, and a sense of normalcy to step in as caretaker. There is a third option that not enough people are talking about: affordable, professional inhome care. Patient Advocates There are organizations that can step in when a patient leaves the confines of a hospital bed and returns home for either recovery or for end of life care. Take the example of one Colorado patient who was unaware of his home care options. He hired a caretaker advocate who brought the doctors he needed to his home, guided him to better coverage through Medicaid, and supported him through his journey. The result? He was able to decrease services and live nine more months feeling strong, empowered, and independent.

NORTHERN COLORADO - OCTOBER 2019-2020

What Does Quality, Compassionate Care Look Like? Home care options can be tailored to unique and individual situations. Plans may include…

1. P roviding respite care when the family caregiver needs rest. 2. Assisting with personal care, including bed baths, toileting, and personal hygiene. 3. Managing medication and pain. 4. Providing companionship and enhancing the home environment with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and running errands. 5. Tracking meal intake. 6. Assisting clients in meeting endof-life goals. What About Covering the Cost? Home care services are not reserved for people with deep pockets. Patients often have options with long-term care insurance, private health insurance, VA benefits, Medicaid, or Medicare. It may require some research, but your care team can assist you to make sure no option is left unturned. Thinking about end-of-life care is not a walk in the park for anyone. Walking through it with an experienced and knowledgeable organization can help lighten the load. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Theresa Poole with BrightStar Care, Fort Collins/Loveland.

HOSPICE CARE

Music Can Provide the Right Therapy For centuries, music has played During Palliative a powerful role in overall wellness and has been recognized and Hospice Care for its therapeutic ability.

Music can promote desired changes in a person’s energy level, manage moods, provide distraction during a difficult situation or provide the necessary support to move through the same difficult situation. Music is an inherent part of being human and can be thought of as its own health domain. When a loved one is in palliative or hospice care, they often need comfort or help from something that does not come from medication or other traditional treatment. Music therapy, as described by the American Music Therapy Association, “…uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals of all ages.” Music therapy can be key in helping patients deal with many of the emotional and physical challenges they are facing during a difficult time. Family and loved ones can also benefit from music therapy to help them navigate through grief, stress and overwhelming feelings. In hospice or palliative care, music therapists focus on identifying and expressing emotions, increasing socialization, improving mental and physical capabilities and supporting spiritual needs. Music therapists, who are Board Certified by the Certification Board for Music Therapists, use different techniques depending 92 NORTHERN COLORADO - OCTOBER 2019-2020

on a person’s situation. For instance, lyric analysis promotes mental stimulation and can prompt discussion and reflection on a patient’s own life. Using instruments, such as beating on a drum, can help with rhythmic movement and coordination. Singing along with music encourages breath work and speech articulation. It’s a form of therapy that offers many tactics to help a patient and their specific needs. For family and loved ones, music can be a way to express grief, alleviate stress and even share a memory with the patient by making a connection into their past together. It creates a familiar and comfortable environment for people to explore and share their feelings and thoughts. Music therapy is very much seen as enjoyable and non-threatening so it is often welcomed by patients of different ages and abilities and can be executed individually or within a group. It can be a very personal experience, yet a healing one that is unique to each patient and person. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Tammy Brannen-Smith, LCSW, Director of Pathways for Grief and Loss with Pathways and may be reached at 970-292-1072 or by email at tammy. brannen-smith@pathways-care.org.

HOSPICE CARE

Trying to Understand Hospice! HOSPICE! Just the mention of the word creates fear and anxiety! Not long ago, this author had to wrestle with understanding, not only the definition of HOSPICE, but the ramifications as well! My amazing Mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Seemingly overnight, my family and I were challenged to learn as much as we could about this philosophy of care that had invaded our lives! Actually, Hospice does not indicate a death sentence at all, just a change of direction. The aim of Hospice is not curative, but has comfort as its goal. Friend, entering into hospice care is not about dying. Rather, it’s

about living, and living as well as possible, for as long as you have left. In Hospice Care, the Patient’s pain and symptoms are addressed, and emotional and spiritual support is also provided. I encourage you, dear reader, to do your homework. I believe you will discover Hospice Care is so misunderstood! And I believe it is the best vehicle available to help our precious loved ones live life to the fullest with the time they have left. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Dr. Bob Damey, PhD; PT:Csp.

the world is becoming more complicated. Clients are sicker. Expectations are higher. Employment is low. Mindfulness and Compassion Cultivation Trainings appeared to be natural next steps in helping health care staff to continue their mission of providing great care to those they serve. Initial reasons to participate: C an always learn more about this subject. n I n our political climate, so many opportunities for conflict. n L earn how to feel compassion without getting caught up in other’s issues. n H ow to understand people different than yourself. n a ffects residents and learn how to support staff. n L earn more tools in my work and life to help improve my wellbeing. n B etter understand compassion vs empathy. n H ow to ensure and honor staff’s purpose. n T raining for residents, families, and staff is vitally important to make sure everyone is on the same page. n

From the Stanford Medicine Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, they define compassion as the following 4 step process: n A wareness of suffering in others. n F eeling of being emotionally moved by suffering.

M otivation to see the relief of that suffering. n A ction and willingness to help relieve that suffering when possible. n

A take away from a participant: “I signed up for it because I have never really had a conversation about compassion so I was curious how it would tie into my work. My biggest take was the piece about purpose and it got me thinking about what is my purpose at work and how my purpose has changed over time. This training allowed me to think about purpose in a different way and I think it can be really helpful when trying to make connections with co-workers by learning what their purpose is and how it ties into their work.”

The meditations we learned do make a difference. Try them: Loving Kindness ‘wishes’ for others: May you be happy. May you be free from suffering. May you know peace. And here are the compassion ‘wishes’: May you be free from suffering. May you be free from fear and anger.

healthy, managing everything on their own. You don’t have to worry about them, everything is OK. As time passes, there are gradual changes that take place, or a major event that happens. Situations like… Falling in their home because of all the steps they have to navigate. n Losing weight because they aren’t eating enough. n Not being able to drive due to issues with their sight. n Struggling with incontinence, not being able to clean things up on their own. n Losing their spouse who was their primary caregiver. n Taking the wrong amount of medications or forgetting to take them at all. n Leaving their home and getting lost. Having to have someone help them find their way back. n

Suddenly, everything is no longer OK. You have your own obligations. Now you have the added stress of needing to figure out how to help the older adult in your life find the right resources to manage their newest challenge. It can be overwhelming trying to sort through

the options while juggling all of your other responsibilities. You really shouldn’t have to figure these things out on your own. The good news is…you don’t have to.

There is an advisor who can be a personal guide for you through the maze of resources available. This advisor is known as a “senior living advisor.” A senior living advisor provides their services for free. They know firsthand the local resources available, and are specialists in finding the right in-home care, respite, hospice or senior living communities that meet the unique needs of your older adult.

It’s OK Until It’s Not OK Many of us have older adults in our Anymore lives. Hopefully, they are relatively

So, when the older adults in your life have increased needs, and you are feeling like things aren’t “Ok anymore”, it is time to reach out for help. You truly don’t have to figure things out on your own.
