DIAL RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

“

The brochures only tell a part of the story — beautiful communities, lovely apartments, tastefully decorated, excellent food, an abundance of activities and services. What isn’t told is the compassion, concern and caring of the Dial Senior Living staff to make sure the residents are as happy and comfortable as possible. It is obvious that all the residents enjoy their “easy living” — I know my folks do, which makes me very grateful they are so happy and truly…love the way they live.”

HOSPICE CARE

Honoring Veterans and Veteran Volunteers 1 Out of Every 4 Americans Dying is a Veteran As we care for our hospice patients, we see that active military personnel or Veterans may have unique and special needs that enable us to care for them in a very special way. They may have served in combat, witnessed their comrades die in battle or suffered trauma during their military service which has created memories that have been hidden away for years. They may have never told anyone about their experiences and only when they have developed a relationship with their hospice team are they able to finally share their stories and memories and achieve a true peace which heals their heart and soul.

AseraCare Hospice an Amedisys company in Lincoln, NE is proud to be a Level 4 We Honor Veterans Partner. We Honor Veterans is a national program conducted by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in cooperation with the Department of Veteran Affairs. This program assists hospice professionals to better understand the challenges Veterans may be facing during their end-of-life journey. We are proud to coordinate and offer special ceremonies and services such as our Vet-to-Vet cafes, We Honor Veterans pinning ceremonies, support groups and special recognition and honors on military holidays.

In addition, AseraCare Hospice an

Amedisys company in Lincoln, NE collaborates with the Lincoln Quilters Guild to present our Veteran patients with a Quilt of Valor. The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.

As part of our Volunteer Program and our partnership with the We Honor Veterans Program, we utilize Veteran Volunteers within our Volunteer Program. Our Veteran Volunteers are active members of the military or Veterans, who are trained as a Hospice Volunteer to serve as a specialized hospice volunteer to help care and meet the needs of our Veteran patients at the end of life in our Vet to Vet Volunteer Program.

Our Veteran Volunteers make regular visits to the Veteran patient, allowing them to share their stories with someone who understands military culture and/or military history.

It is a great privilege for AseraCare Hospice an Amedisys company in Lincoln, NE to collaborate with the Lincoln Quilters Guild and our Veteran Volunteers to honor the Veterans who come to us for care, to thank them for their service to our country and to help them find peace and comfort in their end-of-life journey. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 84 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.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

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. ~

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

These restrictions vary by community.

ALZHEIMER’S / DEMENTIA ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Licensed assisted living facility or skilled nursing facility that specialize in delivering care to victims of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

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.

INDEPENDENT HOUSING – Apartments and communities for adults 55+ with little or no senior support services (e.g. no meals, etc...)

INDEPENDENT LIVING is usually apartment style communities for adults 55+ with little or no senior support services. Many but not all are wheelchair accessible.

Facilities may use a nurse as a their consultant and the residents receive periodic assessments from a licensed practitioner.

LONG-TERM CARE – Chronic, custodial care provided on an on-going basis MEDICAID WAIVER – An assisted living waiver may be used to transition individuals out of nursing facilities or to provide persons at risk of

institutionalization with options for remaining in their communities. Assisted living waivers are designed to provide an alternative to more costly nursing home care.

PRICE DEPENDENT ON LEVELS OF CARE – Flexible levels of service geared to accommodate different needs over time. Rates may vary depending on the changing levels of care while one maintains the same physical residence.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

Senior Housing Definitions continued

PUBLIC HOUSING (PH) – Affordable apartments for low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities.

REHABILITATION AND THERAPY – Many skilled nursing facilities offer restorative and rehabilitative physical and occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services.

Short-term rehabilitation services may be provided to individuals with diagnoses such as joint replacements, stroke, etc. Long-term rehab may also be provided for permanent residents of the facility who have chronic or progressive illnesses.

Five Focus Areas to Help You Moving is incredibly stressful. It can Manage Your Move be quite emotional as well. Here are 5 area of focus that may help you. n n n n n

D ecluttering S aying Goodbye to the Home F inding the Right Place to Live W orking with a Realtor® K eeping the Family Informed

Decluttering – Just because you have a lot of “stuff”, doesn’t mean it does not have value. Decluttering should be done in an organized and purposeful manner.

Say Goodbye to your Home – A home is more than brick and mortar. Families were raised in the home, memories were made, it was a sanctuary for a long time. The home should be celebrated.

Find the Right New Place to Live –If you are looking for a new home, a Realtor® can help you find the home that fits your needs. If it is a different type of housing situation, Seniors Blue Book has many incredible resources to help you determine what your right fit is.

Work with a Realtor® – Not all real estate agents are created equally.

First consider working with a Realtor®. A Realtor has a fiduciary relationship with their client. They must put the client’s needs above all else.

Next, find a Realtor® that has a Senior Real Estate Specialist designation and a Probate Real Estate Specialist designation. This shows that they have taken additional training to understand the specific needs of seniors in housing solutions.

Keep Your Family Informed – Prepare for the unexpected. If you are suddenly not able to care for yourself, do you have someone to help you? Consider having a detailed discussion with your family members so they know their role in supporting you and that they have the information to make informed decisions for you. A book such as The Record can give you the important information your loved ones would need to know.

It is available by sending an email to KandRHomeTransitions@gmail.com and asking for your complimentary copy.

Change in life is inevitable.

Stressful change is not. There are great resources out there to help you.

Take advantage of them – they are there for you. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Robyn Lewis-Oglesby of K & R Home Transitions.

Medicaid penalty period, which would make you ineligible for Medicaid for a period of time.

However, there are circumstances in which transferring a house will not result in a penalty period.

One of those circumstances is if the Medicaid applicant transfers the house to a “caretaker child.”

This is defined as a child of the applicant who lived in the house

Each state Medicaid agency has its own rules for proof that the child has lived with the parent and provided the necessary level of care, making it doubly important to consult with your attorney before making this (or any other) kind of transfer.

Others to whom a home may be transferred without Medicaid’s usual penalty are: our spouse Y A child who is under age 21 or who is blind or disabled n Into a trust for the sole benefit of a disabled individual under age 65 (even if the trust is for the benefit of the Medicaid applicant, under certain circumstances) A sibling who has lived in the home during the year preceding the applicant’s institutionalization and who already holds an equity interest in the home. ~ n

n

for at least two years prior to the applicant’s entering a nursing home and who during that period provided care that allowed the applicant to avoid a nursing home stay. In such cases, the Medicaid applicant may freely transfer a home to the child without triggering a transfer penalty.

Note that the exception applies only to a child, not a grandchild or other relative.

INDEPENDENT LIVING / RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

Staying Optimistic Despite COVID-19 While life has certainly changed Precautions for all of us with the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, the residents and associates at Remington Heights Senior Living Community are making the best of it and staying optimistic.

Our No. 1 priority is the health, safety and comfort of our residents.

We have been following protocols from the CDC, state and local governing agencies since March 9.

To limit our residents’ exposure to COVID-19, we have implemented these safeguards: n We screen all associates at the start of their shift, including taking their temperature. n Associates are wearing face masks. n New move-ins must be asymptomatic, have a negative Covid test result, and follow the same isolation guidelines as our residents. n Intentional infection prevention and protocols and enhanced staff training include frequent cleaning and disinfecting. n Doors are secured 24/7. n We are observing full visitor restrictions. n Residents are served their selected meal n Residents are encouraged to be at a safe distance from others while wearing a face mask while out in our common spaces. n We are aiding communication with family members by cell phones, computer apps, Zoom, Facetime, Skype, One Day videos

and other creative means.

We are also continually monitoring and following additional guidance from the CDC and state and local health departments.

We help facilitate “window visits” in our auditorium for families to visit and see their loved one, and courtyard visits for families to visit in person with social distancing being practiced.

We are so thankful that during this critical time our staffing remains consistent. This is a testament to all the incredible group of caring, committed associates that work for us who are living our mission, vision and values each day.

For example, staff members are going on grocery runs for our residents.

Our staff keep the residents engaged with Root Beer Float carts, Wacky Wednesday, and having entertainers perform outside their windows.

“It’s just the little things that go a long way, and faith over fear,” shared Cortney Hartz, Marketing Director.

Our residents say it best, though.

“I am extremely fortunate to be at Remington Heights,” said resident Assisted Living resident. “Through this virus crisis, everyone is caring, attentive, helpful and kind. I feel safe with the precaution measures, and I am thankful to be here!” ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Remington Heights.

INDEPENDENT LIVING / RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

Technology and What’s driving the success of Senior Living today’s most powerful senior living apps and how families are staying connected.

Technology is reinventing how today’s seniors tap into personal interests, plug into their networks, and power up their lives.

Technology is transforming senior living—but it’s not in the way you think.

There are significant trends that impact how our business serves the senior living population, and none of them are new. The world tends to shrink as we age—our health declines, our brains slow down, and our relationships wither in step with our independence. In the past, technology served to accelerate this process (think recliners and televisions), but today’s tablets, apps, and software have the ability to completely revolutionize our later years, if we invest in the right resources.

ical connections possible. With its tablet-based access to everyone in their “loop,” LifeLoop makes it easy for seniors to share their experiences with those who are invested in their care. From scheduling transportation to inviting grandchildren to the next community event, apps like LifeLoop are changing the way seniors engage with the world—and it’s making a difference in their quality of life.

Minimizing desktops What makes apps like LifeLoop so powerful aren’t (just) hyper-intelligent interface and thoughtful design. This technology makes light work of managing events, organizing menus, scheduling transportation, and tracking resident activity, but what it really does is free up a highly talented and compassionate staff to get in front of their residents, with enough data in their back pocket to show they’ve been paying attention.

Plugging into a better network How well our teams connect to our residents is just as important as how fast they can connect to the internet. A staff member to a bedside, Grandma to her grandkids, a retired couple to a dinner out on the town—the right technology brings the human network to life as fast, as simply, and as often as possible.

Stone or touchscreen, we’ve used tablets for millennia to communicate and connect. Technology is just the medium. What truly drives our success as a business—and our ability to thrive as we age—is how well we use that technology build, engage, and strengthen the relationships that allow us to thrive. ~

Tapping into personal interests Technology apps like Omaha’s own LifeLoop make more of these crit-

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Why Consider It Now? Because the worst time to decide about housing is when a crisis forces you to move. A compulsory move is rarely a positive experience. In a crisis, hasty decisions may result in costly mistakes, both financial and emotional. It’s smart to think about where you will live and begin to discover the many options for older adults. Start now while you can choose freely.

that mom or dad can no longer live on their own, as their safety and well-being are at risk.

As seniors are less able to stay home because of safety or security concerns, many families are caught in a position where they don’t know which direction to turn.

Senior care and senior living are a rapidly changing landscape of options, and the choices available to the average person looking for a new home can seem overwhelming. It’s time to get informed.

While navigating the senior care

maze can be emotional and frustrating, there are resources available to you. This turning point is especially challenging since very often, the need is unexpected and immediate.

An eldercare advisor can help bridge that gap by educating and informing you of the options that relate to your specific situation. An eldercare advisor can be an invaluable voice in sorting out the issues and bringing a fresh perspective to the situation.

It’s an Emotional Decision Making decisions, sometimes fast decisions depending on your loved one’s situation, can be emotional and stressful. We don’t make our best — or most informed decisions — when we are faced with frustration and sadness.

An Advisor is a Local Expert That Can Save You Time Eldercare advisors can provide an insider’s view on local senior communities and short- and long-term care options. They can narrow down your list of communities to visit and ensure it is the right fit for your loved one. They visit communities regu-

larly and have been working with families in your similar situation.

Comprehensively trained, they are true experts and are a great resource for community, care and transition information.

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

When the Crisis Hits...

“When the Crisis Hits”, families may have very little time to decide on the best care facility for a loved one.

Trying to find a Skilled Nursing Care center as the clock races can make you feel overwhelmed or even paralyzed. Fortunately, there are always care options available, even when time isn’t. We recommend breaking down your decision into three steps: Step 1: Research Ask family and friends to recommend caregivers or centers. Find and compare Skilled Nursing Care Centers online with Medicare’s “Nursing Care Compare,” a rating site for Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes, professionally called Skilled Nursing Care centers.

Medicare has developed a fivestar quality rating system based on health inspection results, care center staff data, quality measures, and fire safety inspection results.

Though there is plentiful information you can find, relying on ratings alone is not sufficient enough to make a decision. Be wary of for-profit placement services, you want your decision to be based on careful consideration, not their commission.

Step 2: Consider Based on your research, choose about three centers to visit. Call each to schedule a tour. Communi-

cate the immediacy of your situation and ask to speak with an admissions coordinator. The admissions coordinator can tell you more about the center and availability. Only visit centers that you know have available accommodations.

Step 3: Select After visiting and doing your research, select the center that best meets your care needs and consider giving yourself one night to sleep on your decision. Once you have made your care choice, learn more about what to expect during the transition.

As you go through the decision process, remember your loved one will need you as much now as ever.

You’ll remain an integral part of your loved one’s care and decisions. You are your loved one’s strongest voice and advocate. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted
