First you should familiarize yourself with the many options available and determine which one is best for your needs. You will find definitions of each type of housing at the beginning of the housing section. Then turn to our easy to read comparison grids. The grids are divided into 4 categories, depending on the type of community: Active Adult Living, 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.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Adult day programs are for elders who need a place to stay during daytime hours because they have difficulty functioning alone (i.e. dementia or physical limitations). The programs provide purpose and stimulation. Most facilities place participants into groups by their specific limitations. Many Assisted Living Communities offer day care as well.

Dementia, Delirium and Alzheimer’s Disease Understanding the differences between these terms is a first step in understanding what may be going on with you, a family member, a friend, or colleague. Dementia is often incorrectly used as an interchangeable term for Alzheimer’s Disease. Dementia does not define any specific disease, rather denotes that there are symptoms causing cognitive difficulties severe enough to interfere with daily live. These disorders cause the death of neurons (brain cells) or permanent damage to the neurons. Illnesses of dementia are generally of a gradual onset, while being progressive. At this time there are no known cures. Treatments are available to mitigate the severity of some symptoms such as behavioral therapies, person centered interventions, and in some instances medications. Alzheimer’s Diseases (AD) is the most frequently occurring form of dementia with three distinct forms and one variant, affecting people from 30 years of age to over 85. In addition to AD, some of the other forms are vascular dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, the Frontal Temporal Dementias, Parkinsonian Dementia, AIDS related dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and dementia due to a traumatic brain injury. Delirium follows a time pattern with an abrupt onset, and of a short duration. Delirium can occur within a diagnosis of a dementia related illness, or when there is no such illness present. Delirium is a tempo-

12 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER-SPRING 2022

rary event that can result in confusion, disorientation, changing levels of consciousness, hallucinations, delusions, anxiety, jerky movements, disturbed sleep cycles, memory impairment, periodic agitated behavior, mood changes, altered speech, and changes in blood pressure and pulse. Delirium can be treated and cured because it is caused by an underlying medical problem (such seemingly simple things as a bladder infection or constipation can precipitate a bout of dementia) drug toxicity (caused by taking medications improperly, incorrect dosage, incorrect medication, anesthesia, among other drug factors) and environmental factors (such as sensory overload, too much noise, sensory deprivation often stemming from isolation, and impaired hearing). Once the underlying cause of the delirium is treated the symptoms subside and the person returns to previous levels of functioning. Unlike dementia, delirium does not involve structural changes to the brain. Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center is here to help you every step of the way, from initial concerns, to diagnosis, to treatment interventions, skill building, learning about the disease and understanding all the options available to you so that you and the person for whom you are caring can LIVE with a dementia related illness. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Edith Gendron, Chief of Operations for the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center. She can be reached at 407-436-7750. See ad on page 11.

What Do You Do When Your Body Hold on just a minute! I’m conStops Making fused! My body stopped making Cannabinoids? what? What is a Cannabinoid? How do I make them? What do they do? How do I know when my body stops making them? Can I buy some? These are all great questions so, let’s start with some basic facts. You have an Endocannabinoid System, or ECS. The ECS is a recently discovered system that is vital to the regulation and balance of all other systems in your body. It communicates with those other systems at the cellular level through the use of hormone-like substances called cannabinoids. Our body’s production of adequate amounts of cannabinoids may be disrupted by age or lifestyle. This disruption can affect our immune health, pain response (both physical and emotional), sleep patterns, mood, gut function, appetite, metabolism, hormone balance, fertility and so much more. Some of the signs that your body is struggling with cannabinoid production are things we usually attribute to aging, such as lack of sleep (going to sleep or staying asleep), situational stress, pain from exertion, foggy brain or difficulty concentrating. So how do you regain your ECS function? As with most conditions, you could try to bolster your pro-

duction of cannabinoids through nutritional changes using herbs, teas and vegetables which contain certain chemicals that interact with our ECS.

Proactive Brain Health Preventative health in the world of Medicine is focused on combating potentially debilitating diseases before they can affect life as we know it. Most of us go to the doctor at least once a year to discuss how our overall health is going. We schedule tests such as blood work, mammograms, colonoscopies, cardiac tests, etc. We do this because we are trying to identify health issues before they have significant impacts that could change the path of our lives. One area of our body, however, is often neglected: the brain. Injury to this specific organ can affect your quality of life and take away your independence. Our brains control the very nervous system we count on to control our body’s messaging system. It allows us to learn, to speak, to remember, to move, and it holds the thing most precious to us, our memories. The recommendation for brain health screening is patients aged 65 and older receive a cognitive assessment at least once yearly as part of their Medicare annual wellness visit. The purpose of the memory screen is to evaluate whether your memory concerns are normal aging symptoms

18 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER-SPRING 2022

vs early warning signs for a memory disease like Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, more than 90% of older adults feel that it is important to have their memory checked. Unfortunately, only about 16% of patients 65 and older report having their cognition assessed by their doctor. The low percentage may be due to fear of knowing, lack of access to health care, or lack of time available for their doctor to perform the tests. Regardless of the reason, the older population continues to grow and the number of people diagnosed with memory diseases continues to increase. Memory testing is just the first step we can take in being proactive with our brain health. Early detection of memory symptoms can allow more time to reduce risk factors, explore treatment options earlier, and possibly slow memory decline. This is a call to everyone in the community to take control of their brain health and be part of the change in how we treat memory disease. Please contact our clinic to schedule free memory testing, no insurance is needed. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Malisa Agard, MD, Principal Investigator for Conquest Research.

program that may help you or your loved one in one of four ways...

edicaid Waiver may be able M to pay for in-home private duty care. That care may be provided by a private duty company or you may even be able to qualify as a paid caregiver through the Medicaid plan.

Medicaid Waiver can also assist in paying for adult day care and transportation to and from the adult day care facility.

edicaid Waiver can also be M used to supplement the cost of assisted living by an average of up to $1,500 per month.

edicaid Waiver can also assist M in covering the cost of shortterm inpatient rehabilitation in a skilled rehabilitation nursing facility.

Sounds great, right? The not-sogreat part is there’s a waiting list which can range approximately 6 months to 2 years, or more! Unlike a normal waiting list, this list is based on medical necessity and not seniority. It prioritizes individuals that are most at risk for nursing home placement. Qualifying for this program can be tricky for more reasons than one.

For starters there are strict income and asset limits. Secondly, it’s critical that you are prepared for the interview process you’ll undergo when getting added to that waiting list since that’s where your priority score will be assessed. Last but not least, Medicaid applications should be easy. The truth is - they’re not. There are State forms that must be submitted, specific medical documents, financial verifications, and chances of denial can be high. At the Family First Firm we’ve helped thousands of families for over a decade all over the Sunshine State. We are the Elder Law Experts when it comes to sheltering income and assets for individuals needing Medicaid thereby accelerating the Medicaid qualification process while preserving their legacy.

Cómo recibir compensación como cuidador con este programa que Existen diferentes tipos de programas de Medicaid en Florida. Medicaid pocos conocen Waiver (Exención de Medicaid) es un programa poco conocido que puede ayudar a un ser querido o a usted en una de las siguientes cuatro formas…

a exención de Medicaid puede L ayudarle a pagar por el cuidado de servicio privado en el hogar. Esa atención puede ser proporcionada por una compañía de servicio privado o incluso puede cualificar como cuidador pagado a través del plan de Medicaid

a exención de Medicaid también L puede ayudar a pagar el centro de cuidado diurno para adultos y el transporte desde y hacia el centro.

a exención de Medicaid puede L utilizarse para suplementar el costo del hogar de vida asistida en un promedio de hasta $1,500 dólares mensuales.

a exención de Medicaid también L puede ayudar a cubrir el costo de la rehabilitación hospitalaria a corto plazo en un centro de enfermería de rehabilitación especializada.

Suena genial, ¿verdad? La parte no tan buena es que hay una lista de espera que puede variar aproximadamente de 6 meses a 2 años, ¡y hasta más! A diferencia de una lista de espera normal, esta lista se basa en la necesidad médica y no en la edad. La lista le da prioridad a las personas que están en mayor riesgo de colocación en hogares de ancianos. Cualificar para este programa 26 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER-SPRING 2022

puede ser complicado por más de una razón. Para empezar, hay límites estrictos de ingresos y activos. En segundo lugar, es fundamental que esté preparado para el proceso de entrevista al que se someterá cuando se agregue a esa lista de espera, ya que ahí es donde se evaluará su puntaje de prioridad. Por último, pero no menos importante, las solicitudes de Medicaid deben ser fáciles, pero la realidad es que no lo son. Hay formularios estatales que deben presentarse, documentos médicos específicos, verificaciones financieras y las posibilidades de denegación pueden ser altas. En Family First Firm hemos ayudado a miles de familias durante más de una década en todo el Estado del Sol. Somos los expertos en Derecho para la Tercera Edad, cuando se trata de proteger los ingresos y activos de las personas que necesitan Medicaid, ayudando a acelerar el proceso de cualificación de Medicaid, mientras preservamos su legado. ¡Llámenos al 1-833-FL-SENIOR o envíenos un correo electrónico a Intake@FamilyFirstFirm.com para programar su consulta GRATUITA hoy! ~ Editor’s Note: Este artículo fue redactado por el licenciado en derecho Geoff Hoatson.

The 6 Things You Should Know Buying Insurance can be a real About Insurance pain in the behind. This is primarily due to fact that it isn’t something you do very much. Maybe once a year you shop for auto or health insurance and with the constant changes it is difficult for a consumer to stay current let alone be able to compare the options.

This is insurance speak for – they don’t want you to know. Ask questions, lots of them until you understand what you are getting.

ead the policy. Very very few R people ever actually read their Insurance policy and then when they have a problem it becomes a real problem. Be sure to check your name, address, coverage amounts. Guaranteed that when you file a claim the Insurance company will check on you..

With this in mind I came up with 6 things that every consumer needs to know about Insurance.

ho is the person W you are dealing with for the Insurance? If you are going online to buy insurance then you have problems that this brief article does not have time to address. Just know that are no online “deals”. Your best option is to find someone that is local and knowledgeable. The fact that your sisters mechanics cousins neighbor has an Insurance license does not make them a good choice. They may be wonderful people but on the day you need help they may not be available.

ho is the Insurance company W you are dealing with? Not all Insurance companies are the same. Those big fancy ads cost lots of money and the consumer is the one who really pays for them. There is no FREE.

here is no such thing as full T coverage or a standard policy.

What About Dementia? A dementia diagnosis poses many unknowns for you and your loved ones, and it can be some of the most difficult news you’ll ever hear. My grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s while I was in high school, and unsure what else to do, she spent two years living with us under my dad’s care. The diagnosis can change family roles and relationship dynamics in sudden ways. Dementia is a broad category of many diseases that affect the brain. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, but other common types include Parkinson’s, Frontotemporal Dementia, Lewy-Body Dementia, Huntington’s Disease, Creutzfeldt -Jakob Disease, Vascular Dementia, and Alcoholic Dementia. At Oasis Senior Advisors, we help families navigate their best options for caring for their loved one with any type of dementia. It’s important to differentiate dementia from Normal Cognitive Decline (NCD.) Many people experience NCD later in life, and it is just that – normal. Common signs of NCD include needing more thinking time, struggling to multitask more than before, new information taking more time to learn, or if everyday tasks just taking longer. A change in one’s cognitive state later in life can be many things besides dementia. If your loved one receives a diagnosis, get your team of support ready. Your children, close friends, and extended family need to

38 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER-SPRING 2022

be made aware of the diagnosis, and you, the family, need support! Some people are keenly aware and understand their diagnosis, and others may be certain nothing is wrong. Your loved one may even blame you. Do not take this personally - it is frequently outside of your control. When interacting with your loved one with dementia, it can be frustrating when they struggle to understand you. If they don’t understand, they no longer can, so don’t expect them to. If they’re disoriented to time and place, join them in the time and place they’re telling you they’re in. Doing otherwise robs them of their dignity, causes frustration, and accomplishes nothing. They cannot change, so we must. Join them in their reality. There are many ways to care for a loved one. If you choose to care for your loved one for a short period of time, deep into disease, or not at all, you are wonderful! Admitting that caregiving is not for you may be the best way the best way to care for them. Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Home Care are all valid and correct options for many families. We’re here to help, regardless of what your correct decision may be. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Steven Moses, CSA CDP CPRS, owner of Oasis Senior Advisors ofOrlando.

In 2004, my husband and I moved with our two boys to a new home in central Florida. Our neighbors to our left were an older couple, Ed, and Judy. Over the years, Judy and I had neighborly conversations chatting about varied topics including our families, our husbands, the weather, good deals at the supermarket, upcoming holidays, and how Saint Augustine grass is tough to maintain. All these conversations have taken place in front of our shiny black mailboxes between our two homes. The days varied, the times varied, and the length of our conversations have varied, but all our conversations consistently have taken place, week after week, month after month, year over year, by the mailbox. About two years ago our conversations began to change. I usually would see Ed outside of his house puttering around in his yard, trimming bushes, or picking up the loose palm fronds that had fallen from their two extraordinarily large palm trees. The next time that I saw Judy at the mailbox, I asked her, How’s Ed doing, I haven’t seen him

outside lately? Judy nodded with that sad facial expression that you recognize quickly when something unhappy is about to be told. Oh, not good Jennifer, he has Alzheimer’s, Judy said. I am so sorry to hear that, I replied. His brother had it too. He’s driving me crazy Jennifer. He tells me he loves me repeatedly. I can’t take it. He follows me around the house, room to room. I am so sorry Judy, that’s hard. Do you have a good support system with family and friends? I asked. Judy’s reply was that over the years their circle of family and friends had shrunken, and her kids lived far away with their own lives. Judy shared that her daughter lived in Key West, about eight hours away, and was undergoing her own personal grief with the sudden death of her husband. Fast forward to present time and I continue to have conversations by the mailbox with Judy. I get the sense now that Judy intentionally waits for me to venture outside of my front door to get my mail. She then comes out to get her own. Judy talks and I listen. Judy has shared stories of Ed’s progression with the disease. She has shared that he

Conversations by the Mailbox continued sometimes yells so loud that she is afraid that all our neighbors will hear him. Without sharing details, she has told me how they argue frequently. Ed and Judy are in a tough spot. Physically, Ed looks okay. In fact, he looks pretty good for his 81-year-old body. Judy is 78 years old, and it is she who appears to be aging more quickly than Ed. She is tired, she is worn out, and you see the stress and worry in her facial expressions. Their situation is getting worse, not better, and from what she has told me, Ed has no idea that anything is wrong or that anything has changed in their lives. Recently by the mailbox, I asked Judy, “What do you do to take care of you? What makes you happy Judy?” Judy responded: I drive Jennifer. I drive. I put him in the car, and I just drive because it’s the only time during the day when it’s easy for me. And I drive for a long time. He doesn’t know how long we are driving so it doesn’t matter. What makes their situation difficult is that Ed has Alzheimer’s Disease and so he has good days and bad days. My approach to help them has been delicate because it must be, as they have not asked for my help. I have provided Judy with local caregiver community resources for when the time comes. The time is not now for either of them as they are that demographic of people who are so early in the process, or the journey, or whatever title we want

42 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER-SPRING 2022

to call it, where they are not seeking resources. They have no idea how many great resources are available, and basically, they are navigating life day by day without fully comprehending how the day-to-day grind is taking its ugly toll on both. Ed still thinks he is fine, and Judy only understands what Ed’s doctor has shared, a diagnosis. It is a difficult spot to be in and my hunch is they are not alone in this bucket of people who eventually, by virtue of the Alzheimer’s progression, will seek help, but now, quite simply, choose not to. How do we reach this group? I often ponder. Judy and I have had numerous conversations about the progression of Alzheimer’s and what to expect. However, beyond listening and spending a little more time by the mailbox with Judy, I am not able to directly help their situation. I am not an Alzheimer’s expert, and I am not a clinician. I am just a neighbor having conversations by the mailbox. I only share with her what I have learned from working in the senior living industry. I encourage her when the time comes to utilize the amazing robust community resources available to both her and Ed. I encourage her to look up Teepa Snow on the internet and get familiar with greater Orlando’s Alzheimer’s Dementia and Resource Center. I share some details about the online resource DementiaMap.com. I encourage Judy to knock on my door at any time and for any reason, if she

giver with no training. Judy self-admittedly drives for hours now. I also have a hunch that she purposefully waits for me to pick up my mail so she too can grab her mail, even when sometimes there is no mail in her box. I notice, but does she? Judy’s world is changing because Ed’s world is changing. I certainly don’t claim to have all the answers, but for now, I will continue to walk to my mailbox slowly, spend a little more time with Judy, and make our conversations by the mailbox count. What I do know is that spatial and space changes most certainly do affect both the person who has Alzheimer’s and their spouse. By virtue of that understanding through my experiences with Judy, my advice to anyone who knows an Ed, or a Judy is: Be kind to thy neighbor. ~

needs anything, I listen a little more closely and I listen more intensely. I must always remember that Judy has not asked for my help as I would never want to overstep my boundaries. I know in a strange way that I am that comfort zone for Judy, if only for a few minutes on a particular day, and perhaps for just that precise moment in time. As I walk away from what is becoming more frequent conversations by the mailbox, I often wonder how many Ed and Judy’s are out there living within our communities. How many folks are there that while they are not ready to take advantage of community resources, move into a memory care community, or even participate in an adult day program, are struggling day to day with many challenges? How many Ed and Judy’s have virtually no family, no friends, and a limited support system, if any support system at all? While quite often there is discussion about spatial and space changes, for the person living with Alzheimer’s Disease, I think we would be remiss not to recognize that spatial and space changes also take place for their spouse, especially when the spouse doesn’t realize that he/she has in fact become a full-time care-

Optimists Live Better Lives Optimistic people live longer and have a better quality of life! They are happier, healthier, and deal with challenges better. According to a 2018 Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) study, women and men who are optimistic have longer lifespans and greater odds of reaching 85 years old. These people are believed to be more resilient, better able to regulate stressors, and to bounce from adversity. They also tend to be healthier and engage in self-care such as exercise and ultimately believe they can affect their own well-being. Optimism is hopefulness and confidence that the world is a good place and that things will turn out ok. It is not wishful or fantasy thinking. The idea that “it isn’t what happens to you but how you respond to what happens to you” is the ultimate Optimist mantra, and research supports this. According to the BUSM (and many others) the benefits of being an optimist include: P rotects against mortality P romotes resilient aging and longer life span n I mproves one’s ability to beat cancer n C reates overall better health and more enjoyment n I mproves stress management. n n

Our brains are wired to look out for things that may put us in danger, creating a pattern of pessimistic perceptions that have kept us safe for thousands of years. However, Martin 48 GREATER ORLANDO AREA – WINTER-SPRING 2022

Seligman, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, believes optimism like many other skills can be learned. He found that people who learned optimism techniques were far less likely to develop depression, anxiety and enjoyed improved overall health. You CAN build Optimism through: D eciding to be Optimistic – Make a commitment to see the bright side of things. n T hought Stopping Techniques – When you feel anxiety or have negative thoughts learn to stop your thoughts in that instant. n R eplacement Thoughts – Find something positive that you can commit to thinking about when you are feeling anxious or down. n G ratitude List – Make a list of all the little things that are good in your life. n A void Negativity – Limit yourself from being around people or things that bring you down. n C hange the subject – When someone is stuck on the negative redirect to the positive. n G ive compliments – Saying something positive to another or to yourself n

Need help growing your optimism? Give us a call. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by April Boykin, she is an Owner/ Social Worker with Counseling resource services who can be reached at 407-654-4433 or by email at april@ counselingresourceservices.com. See ad on page 49.

CEYERA HEALTH

Affordable Mental Health Care Without Medicare or Doctor Referral

2021 certainly felt like a year that would never end. Unprecedented turmoil turned into historical levels of stress, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. According to a recent Teladoc report: "The stress of the pandemic and the social issues we’ve been experiencing have led to a dramatic increase in people reaching out and seeking timely mental health support,” said Dr. Gustavo Kinrys, VP of Teladoc Mental Health. "In parallel with this surging need, we’re witnessing growing comfort with virtual care, (known as Telehealth) especially among older adults, giving many individuals who may not have sought mental health care in the past an extraordinary opportunity to put themselves on the right path to better health." The MindͲBody Connection The mind and body are often considered separate entities. When we think of staying healthy, usually we think of eating good and exercising. However, mental health and physical health are more connected than you might think. What’s more, neglecting your mental health can lead to more serious health complications such as: Substance abuse, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Weakened Immune System, Obesity, Gastronomical problems, Premature death and more. Why It Matters “Behavioral health professionals express many advantages of using Telehealth. It appears the two key factors for those 65+ is affordability and convenience, and Telehealth fits both roles,” said Mark Gebhardt, Founder of CeyeraHealth. The Teladoc data seems to bear that out, with mental health visits for patients over the age of 65 increasing 16% since last June. Remember, you’re not alone – So maybe it’s time to start feeling better… The good news is Telehealth sessions are virtual and can be accessed from anywhere you are by utilizing phone or video. Sessions are confidential and you select the counselor of your choice. It’s just that easy. Editors Note: This article was composed by Mark Gebhardt, Founder of CeyeraHealth, a Telehealth company.

and Private Duty care?” The difference primarily revolves around the payor source. Private Duty care is typically paid by the individual out of pocket, whereas home health is funded via Medicare or Medicaid.

However, in order to qualify for Home Health services, your loved one must have a “qualifying event” and a physician’s prescription to begin care. Home health is not typically a permanent service, and the goal is to improve a patient’s function in the short term. Alternatively, Private Duty services can be tailored to meet your loved one’s needs and does not require physician authorization. These services can last as long as an individual or family might deem them necessary and serves as an alternative to assisted living or group care settings. Private Duty care is flexible and can be scheduled from 1 to 24 hours, 7 days a week. The primary goal of Private Duty providers is to ensure that individuals can age in place, safely at home. Private Duty care is a resource not only for the individu-

al being served, but also for family members who are assisting with care as our caregivers can assist with, housekeeping, errands, meals, laundry, transportation and personal care. Have I sold you on Private Duty care yet? If so, here are a few recommendations on selecting the right company for yourself or your loved one. n

Ask the question, “What makes your company different?”

HEALTH AT HOME - HOME HEALTH AGENCIES

What’s the Difference Between Home Health and Private Often, when I meet with a family they ask me this question, “what’s the difference between Home Health Duty Care?

Ensure that they have a robust pool of caregivers.

Ask them to provide proof of insurance and state licensure. Longevity is important. Check to see how long they have been in business. raining is vital. Ask to see T their curriculum for caregiver training.~

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence, a retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility. 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. 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 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. 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, break-

down 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. AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. 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. 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

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – 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. 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 pa-

tients 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. 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. ~ Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

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.

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.

The Value of Renting Florida consistently ranks among the in Retirement top retirement destinations in the country. Along with year-round sunshine, Florida has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country, making it that much more appealing to baby boomers.

There are many advantages to renting in your senior years. Service-enriched retirement communities include a worry-free lifestyle with access to amenities much more likely to be found in a resort! Rent at an all-inclusive independent living community means someone else “takes care of the details and the hassles of home ownership.” You’ll experience chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, laundry, life enrichment activities, entertainment, educational seminars, and social events - bundled into one single, convenient monthly rental fee. You can even enjoy luxury amenities such as fitness studios, spas, and massage services, concierge and valet services, and unique items life professional grade golf simulation rooms. All this and you don’t have to mow the lawn! If you’re comparing different types of communities, you may find that living in a rental based community is more affordable than an entry fee retirement community. Sometimes called a “continuing care retirement

community,” “lifecare” or “life plan community,” an entry fee senior living community typically requires a Type A contract to move in. Unlike renting, the lifecare contract requires a large upfront fee and some can be as high as over $200,000. This mean, living in a rental community allows you the flexibility to keep more cash in your pocket

while you are still able to fully enjoy it. You pay for the services you want today not the services you might need in five years. Visit a Sonata Senior Living rental community and be sure to ask about your options. You may be pleasantly surprised about the value of renting in retirement. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Christine Dolan.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

giving up their driver’s license. Usually, it starts with driving shorter distances, or avoiding high traffic areas. Many seniors drive less and less at night as it becomes more difficult to see clearly. But then there is the BIG question… Do I Really Need to Stop Driving Completely? Giving up your driving privileges can be one of the most difficult decisions you may have to make. This triggers a deep feeling of “loss of independence” which can impact many areas of your life, both physically and emotionally. This can be a very difficult adjustment. There is a natural desire to continue doing everything you were doing before, including going out to eat and visiting your doctor. There is also a natural desire to not want to be a burden on our children, friends, or neighbors by asking for rides and assistance all the time. It can be difficult to accept that as you grow older, reaction time slows, vision deteriorates, and many symptoms of age can start to catch up with you. It’s important to know when it is the right time to stop driving for both your own safety, your passengers, and others sharing the road with you.

What About My Doctor Visits? Fortunately, there are a few companies here in Utah who specialize in personal in-home medical visits. That’s right, the doctor actually visits you, in YOUR OWN HOME. Home care visits can be BETTER than the medical services you receive at your doctors’ office. Visits tend to be longer, more comprehensive, comfortable, and you can ask more questions spending more time discussing symptoms you may be experiencing. This can also save you a lot of hassle, as you won’t need to arrange rides getting to the doctor’s office, on days you would rather stay home.

When Is the Right Time to Stop Driving? No one ever wants to think about

The Bottom Line It is easier than ever for seniors to live a normal active life even if they do need to give up some conveniences like a driver’s license. Understandably, you will feel some lack of independence initially and there will be time to adjust to life not driving, but thanks to the many modern conveniences, the opportunity for you to maintain your lifestyle will remain secure. ~ Editor’s Note: The article was submitted by AMG Senior Medical Group.
