WHAT IS SKILLED NURSING?

What is Skilled Nursing?

Skilled nursing level of care is essential for older adults and those with complex healthcare needs.

Skilled nursing provides specialized medical attention and support required for individuals. This level of care is usually necessary when individuals are no longer able to live independently and require round-theclock supervision and assistance.

Some people may develop various medical conditions and experience a decline in physical and cognitive abilities as they age or develop complexities in their health. These health issues can range from chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis to post-surgical recovery, stroke rehabilitation, or dementia care. Skilled nursing facilities are designed to address the unique needs of older adults by delivering personalized care plans and individualized treatment programs.

Skilled nursing facilities are staffed with highly trained healthcare professionals such as registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. These professionals possess the expertise and knowledge to assess, monitor, and manage a senior’s physical health condition. Nursing staff are on site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring that residents of the skilled nursing facility receive immediate medical attention whenever necessary.

66 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

This level of care can be especially crucial during medical emergencies or when an individual experiences unexpected declines in their health.

Additionally, skilled nursing facilities provide a wide range of services to address the physical, emotional, and social well-being of seniors. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are commonly offered to enhance the lives of those residing and staying at these facilities. Social workers are on site to provide ongoing support and advocacy for the facility’s residents. Activities and recreation therapeutic professionals are on site to enhance the daily lives of the residents and can provide opportunities for socialization and community involvement. Food and nutrition services make sure that the appropriate nutritional needs are being met while offering enhancement of everyday life through delicious dining options.

Finally, environmental services offer support by laundering clothes, and ensuring clean, comfortable physical spaces for all to enjoy.

Nursing homes of the past are exactly that – in the past- now they are a vital part of the continuum of care with quality care measures in place to allow for an individual to age in a safe comfortable environment. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted

The grids are divided into 4 categories, depending on the type of community: New Affordable/ Subsidized, Independent Living and Retirement, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing.

The buildings are listed by city or county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

and leave a lasting legacy. Planning for your exit may seem daunting, but it’s a crucial step to ensure a smooth transition.

Whether you’re planning to sell your business, retire, or pass it on to a family member, there are five essential things you need to know about exit planning. Here they are:

1

Planning early is crucial. Experts recommend starting the process 3-5 years before you exit.

This will give you enough time to address any potential issues, increase the value of your business, and find the right buyer or successor.

2

There are different ways to transition your business, such as selling to a third party, passing it down to family members, merging with another company, or going public. You need to understand these options to choose the best one for your goals and finances.

3

Knowing how much your business is worth is essential if you’re planning to sell it. Hire a professional to conduct a thorough valuation, which will help set a realistic asking price and identify areas you can improve to increase the value of your company.

4

Exiting a business is complicated and has legal, financial,

and tax implications. To navigate this process, it’s best to assemble a team of experts, such as an attorney, accountant, and financial advisor.

They can guide you and help you make informed decisions.

5

It’s important to keep your employees and other stakeholders informed and involved in your exit planning. This will maintain trust, reduce uncertainty, and boost employee loyalty and commitment.

Planning Your Future Life brings many joys and challenges.

Eventually, we encounter the realities of aging, navigating medical care, and the financial implications of both. You can plan for your future, safeguard your assets, and ensure your wishes are honored.

Everyone needs an estate plan that makes their wishes known. Decide how you want assets distributed among beneficiaries. Consider special circumstances like loved ones with disabilities or beneficiaries requiring additional support.

A comprehensive estate plan names someone you trust to manage your estate and protects assets and beneficiaries from potential misuse or loss.

Establishing a trust allows you to avoid probate, simplifying the process for your loved ones and preserving your privacy.

We aspire to retain control over our medical and financial decisions, but circumstances may arise where we cannot. Powers of Attorney empower you to name individuals to act on your behalf while you are alive and unable to do so. We may think of big reasons like dementia, but this may also be necessary if you end up ill and hospitalized.

30 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

Preparing for this possibility is crucial. Those you name in Financial and Medical Powers of Attorney are granted legal authority to act on your behalf and in your best interest.

Better than relying on potentially lengthy and costly court proceedings to name someone.

As we age, the prospect of escalating care costs and medical bills looms large. You may wish to preserve assets accumulated over your lifetime. The right trust planning and supporting documents can help maximize benefits such as Medicaid and Veterans Affairs (VA). Strategic planning may shield your family home and other assets, while still allowing you to qualify for government programs and support.

Planning for your future involves safeguarding your assets, ensuring your decisions are respected, and simplifying the process for your loved ones. Allowing you to navigate your golden years with confidence and peace of mind. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Andrew P. Stone, Esq.

Dig a Little Deeper When Looking for a Medicare Health Plan When looking for a Medicare health plan, many people consider only a few questions: Does this health plan have my current doctor? Does it cover my medications? What is the cost of care?

But there are many other factors to investigate when reviewing plans and considering change.

Most important is the quality of care. The level and quality of care associated with a health plan can play a significant role in the health care experience, as well as the overall health of the member.

Find out: What are the quality ratings associated with plans you’re considering? What does the plan offer that would be valuable to you?

Does the plan simply provide insurance, or does it play an active role in helping members obtain or maintain good health? Health plans are easy when you’re healthy. But what about when you’re sick? What resources are provided to assist in that time of need?

Also, consider that time and communication are the 2 most crucial elements to success in health care — yet not all organizations recognize

32 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

this. Many only promote low-cost coverage or choice in marketing materials.

Look at how the health plan you’re considering helps members reduce time wasted navigating the system and ensures proper communication is taking place. Can members access care only in person? Or can they use chat, email, video, phone, or text? How hard (or easy) is it for a member to communicate with their care team? How soon can they get a response?

It’s not easy to know which plan is best for everyone. It can be a difficult decision. However, better understanding a plan’s quality rating, care options, and communication practices will help you 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. Matt is a Medicare Sales Manager at Kaiser Permanente and may be reached at 303-338-3353. See ad on 32 Insert.

It’s a sensitive subject requiring empathy, understanding and careful planning. This article offers guidance to help you navigate the conversation with compassion and clarity and start the process of finding a community, as well as topics to consider when selecting a new home for your loved one.

Be Informed – Before discussing the topic, educate yourself about the options available for your loved one’s care. Being well-informed will help you answer questions and address concerns more effectively.

Choose the Right Time and Place – Selecting the right time and place to initiate this conversation is crucial. Find a quiet, comfortable space free from distractions. Ensure all involved parties are available and can participate in the discussion without time constraints.

Share Observations – Present specific instances or examples highlighting your loved one’s need for higher-level care. Discuss situations that have raised safety concerns, such as forgetting to turn off the stove or wandering outside at odd hours.

Present the Options – Gently introduce the available community options. Provide information about the benefits and advantages of each,

such as specialized staff, safe environments and activities tailored to each resident.

Firsthand Experience – Before making any major decisions, consider touring the communities with your loved one. A tour can offer firsthand experience of what life is like in the community. It also gives you the opportunity to meet with care associates directly. A few questions to consider during your visit:

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

A Home That Works for Everyone People expect their home to provide independence, accessibility, safety, and peace of mind – regardless of disabilities, limitations, or health challenges. Many folks are choosing to stay in their homes for as long as possible, bringing in supportive services to keep them safe, happy and healthy.

This goal is important to everyone, not just those who are aging.

Patients with sudden health changes (accidents, strokes, spinal cord injury) or those with degenerative conditions (arthritis, ALS, dementia, MS, or Parkinson’s) all may wish to alter or modify their home so they can remain where they are most comfortable.

If you share the desire to remain at home, will your current home sustain your independence for years to come? Great design should be part of every home. “Universal Design” dramatically improves the use by everyone: Children, people with disabilities, and folks who are aging.

On the other hand, “Accessible Design” is incredibly personal and can create a customized environment specific for your needs.

Examples of “Universal Design” in Your Home n n

pen Concept Floor Plan O Multi-Height Countertops

46 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

n

o Step Entry to the home or rooms N in the home

Examples of “Accessible Design” in Your Home 6-inch doorways for all entrances 3 and doorways in the home n Barrier Free Showers with no step or door to enter n Stacked closets (4 foot x 5 foot or larger) on each level for future elevator use n

Both types of design keep the end-user in mind with the goal of making the home convenient and upgraded. “Universal Design” works to improve the home for every type of visitor as well as those living in the home. “Accessible Design” helps the homeowner plan ahead to avoid moving if/when their needs change.

Whichever route you choose to follow, consult local professionals in the area to obtain free estimates and ideas. Just like interior design, sometimes it takes fresh eyes to see what is possible in the design of your home, accessible modifications that can be made, or equipment that can be installed to add safety features. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted

Making the Right Choice for Moving Broker vs. Moving Company: Your Move Making the Right Choice for Your Move When it comes to planning a move, choosing the right professionals to help you with the transition is crucial. In your search for reliable movers, you’ll likely encounter two types of service providers: moving brokers and moving carriers. Understanding the key differences between these two entities is essential to ensure a smooth and stress-free relocation.

Moving Carrier: Your Typical Moving Company A moving carrier, often synonymous with what you envision as a “moving company,” operates with its own fleet of trucks, a team of movers, and dedicated move coordinators. They are responsible for handling every aspect of your move, from packing and loading to transportation and unloading, ensuring a seamless transition from your current residence to your new home.

Moving Broker: The Middleman in the Mix On the other hand, a moving broker acts as an intermediary between you and the moving carrier.

Their primary role is to gather your moving information and then connect you with one or more moving companies that can fulfill your requirements. Moving brokers typically generate revenue by charging you a fee, selling your information

60 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

to moving carriers, or both.

One of the most frustrating aspects of dealing with moving brokers is the challenge of distinguishing them from actual moving companies.

Why Should You Avoid Moving Brokers?

Issues related to moving brokers have become a nationwide concern, affecting individuals moving across the country. The U.S. Senate has even conducted an extensive investigation into consumer protection problems associated with internet moving brokers.

Some recurring issues highlighted in the investigation include: 1. Price Hikes Moving brokers often provide low initial estimates to attract customers, only to raise the price significantly once the move is handed over to a real moving company.

According to the Senate report, 25% of customer complaints were related to unexpected price increases upon the arrival of the moving carrier.

2. Hostage Situations Customers have reported instances where moving brokers hold their belongings “hostage” after a price hike is disclosed, forcing them to either pay the inflated price, often amounting to thousands of dollars more, or risk having their items withheld.

OMBUDSMAN

PACE PROGRAMS

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.

PACE is a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly. PACE is a Medicare and Medicaid program that helps people meet their health care needs in their home or community instead of moving to a nursing home or other care facility.

THE CAPSTONE AT CENTERRA SENIOR LIVING

5 Tips to Make Transitioning into Families often associate moving a Memory Care Easier loved one into memory care with fear and trauma. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Now, using SPECAL® strategies staff and families can be well-informed, well-prepared, and strategically creative together. Ultimately, making transitions easier while promoting the dignity of loved ones experiencing dementia.

The timing of a transition to memory care is key. Sadly, well-intended families sometimes wait too long to seek outside assistance and/ or make a move to a care community. Waiting too long, resistance and negative feelings may build up for the person with dementia and the primary care partner which can make any adjustments harder. To avoid trauma with any transition, a carefully orchestrated, individualized approach is required.

Dementia Together and SPECAL trained communities , help families achieve smooth transitions for their loved ones utilizing these 5 strategies: oves are made while your loved M one is not distressed. n Using an explanation for moving that makes sense to the person with cognitive impairment is developed and used. n Moving into a well-vetted care community with trained staff who practice SPECAL strategies. n All medical orders are in place so n

96 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

there are no delays upon admission for needed medical treatments. n Passports of key concise information are developed with SPECAL practitioners and shared with the staff prior to meeting the loved one living with dementia.

We encourage families to: Choose a care community early just in case the need becomes apparent. n Get involved with the care community events and staff so your own comfort is boosted. n Attend SPECAL classes, workshops, and support groups through Dementia Together. n Determine your own tipping point and make a move when your loved one is not agitated. n Avoid moving your loved one anywhere without a SPECAL passport in place. n

Learn more about SPECAL at www.dementiatogether.org In your search for placement, be sure to look for a community that is committed to participating in regular, ongoing education to help their staff learn and practice SPECAL strategies which promote well-being for their residents. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Cyndy Luzinski and Deedra Moats.

Hospice Care Definitions

RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. 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.

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.

If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis.

HOSPICE CARE

Can Palliative Care Help Me? Palliative Care (pronounced pal-leeuh-tiv) is specialized medical care for anyone with a serious illness.

Palliative care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and their loved ones.

Palliative care is provided by a specially trained team of doctors, nurse practitioners and other specialists, who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment.

1

Where is palliative care provided?

Palliative care is provided in a variety of settings including a patient’s home, skilled or assisted living communities and outpatient clinics.

It can also be provided in a hospital by an inpatient team.

2

Does insurance pay for palliative care? Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover palliative care.

3

How do I know if palliative care is right for me? Palliative care may be right for anyone who suffers

102 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

from pain, stress or other symptoms due to a serious illness. Serious illnesses may include cancer, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and many more.

Palliative care can be provided at any stage of an illness and along with treatment meant to be curative.

4

How does palliative care work with my own doctor? The palliative care team works in partnership with your own doctor to provide an extra layer of support for you and your loved ones. The team provides expert symptom management, extra time for communication about your goals and treatment options.

5

How do I get palliative care?

You have to ask for it! Let your doctor know you would like to consider receiving help from a palliative care provider. ~

Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Evan Hyatt, President of Pathways in Fort Collins. Pathways provides hospice and palliative care along with grief and loss support for patients and their families. He may be reached at (970) 663-3500 and info@pathways-care.org. See ad on page 101.

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 – 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.

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.

IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building.

The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting.

not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

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 creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed

by Medicare.

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.

PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

104 NORTHERN COLORADO – FALL 2023-2024

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. 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.

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. ~

Who would they be spending time with?

These are these questions we ask our residents, their families and ourselves. Our goal is to create communities that are reflective of the folks that live in them and to enable them to become active participants in their own lives once again.

Making the Right Choice for Your Move continued from page 60 3. Customer Confusion Despite regulations requiring moving brokers to disclose that they are not the actual movers, this disclosure often goes overlooked. This can lead to confusion and frustration when a different company arrives on moving day.

4. “Deposit” Fees Moving brokers may require customers to pay a “deposit,” which essentially functions as a brokerage fee. These fees can range from over $100 to over $1000 and do not contribute to the actual cost of your move.

In summary, moving brokers tend to prioritize their financial gains

over customer satisfaction and may employ tactics that compromise the integrity of your move.
