Centura Center for Rehab

REHAbiLiTATiON HOSPiTALS Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury or other medical conditions. They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation hospitals were created to provide services less costly on a per diem basis than general hospitals but provide a high level of professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapies. Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/or Speech), and interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day.

Adult Protective Services Adult Protective Services (APS) receives reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of at-risk adults, conducts an investigation into the allegations, and implements services to reduce and prevent further mistreatment. Colorado operates as a stated supervised, county administered system. County APS programs provide for the safety and protection of atrisk adults who are or are suspected to be, victims of mistreatment. At-risk adults are defined as persons age 18 or older who are susceptible to mistreatment or self-neglect because the adult is unable to perform or obtain services necessary for his or her health, safety, or welfare or because they lack sufficient understanding or to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning their person or affairs. Certain professionals are required by law (mandatory reporters) to report physical abuse, sexual abuse, caretaker neglect and exploitation

of at risk elders and at-risk adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. An at-risk elder is any person 70 years of age or older. An at-risk adult with IDD is a person who is eighteen years of age or older who has an onset of an intellectual and developmental disability before the person is 22 years old. Mandatory reporters must make a report to local law enforcement within 24 hours of witnessing or becoming aware of the mistreatment. Failure to make a report or if you make a false report it is a class 3 misdemeanor. If charged and convicted you could receive a fine of up to $750, or six months in jail or both. An at-risk adult has the right to refuse services and APS assistance when they appear capable of understanding the consequences of doing so, he or she cannot be forced to accept any services. ~

No One Plans to Fail No one wakes up in the morning with a deliberate plan to fail, but I do believe many of us plan for failure by simply procrastinating because while we all know we will die it all seems so far off. Unfortunately, too often the unexpected arises, and families are left scrambling to figure out what to do for those they love. When my mother’s health became such that my father had to place her in long-term care I remember telling him how much the planning to care for her might cost. He told then he would gladly pay more than that for the problem to just go away. My parents had basic estate planning in place, but what they did not have was a plan for life and a plan for death. What is a plan for life? Well, it involves basic estate planning such as a will and powers of attorney, but it also includes contingency planning for the unexpected. For example, what is the plan if one spouse needs long-term care and the other does not? What happens if both require it? What happens if one spouse is in long-term care and the stay at home

20 SOUTHERN COLORADO – MARCH 2018-2019

spouse dies. What happens if in a situation such as the ones I’ve named the families are blended; who makes what decisions for whom? A plan for death is easier, but often neglected. We found out at my mother’s death that we did not have the first idea how to have my mom interred in the local VA cemetery, and we had to wade through a lot of misinformation until we got the right information. What to do then? Plan for the unexpected. Consult with the necessary professionals today so that the unexpected does not catch you unawares. The decisions you make today will affect your family tomorrow; help them to enact your wishes by giving them the tools they need to implement your plans for both life and death. The problems will not just go away. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by William H. Moller, Attorney and Counselor at Law, The Moller Law Group, LLC.

involvement, the obituary, burial plots and headstones. n O rder death certificates from the funeral home. A good rule of thumb on the number of Death Certificates to order is one each for every financial institution, vehicle, land, life insurance policy or other assets and then two extra. 1 - 10 Days after death: –B egin contacting the following individuals: Police to check on the decedent’s home n An attorney to obtain information on how to deal with the decedent’s assets and debts n Financial and banking institutions to obtain information on accounts, investments and whether or not the decedent maintained a safe deposit box n Insurance agents regarding claim forms n Veterans Affairs and

Did You Know... New studies have linked prolonged hearing loss with cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s. It makes sense when you consider these facts: 1 in 10 Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. n Hearing loss can affect people of all ages — varying from mild to profound. n By the age of 65, 1 out of 3 people has a hearing loss. n Hearing loss may be mistaken for aloofness, confusion, personality changes or dementia. n Hearing loss is the 3rd most common physical condition after arthritis and heart disease. n Tinnitus (or ringing in the ears) can accompany hearing loss and may be as debilitating as hearing loss. n Because we hear with our brains, untreated hearing loss can lead to cognitive difficulties and increase the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s. n

It is commonly accepted that brain exercises such as puzzles and Sudoku can help to keep our brain sharp. Now, the research from “Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care,” an article in the Lancet Commissions, July 20, 2017, 30 SOUTHERN COLORADO – SPRING 2019-2020

demonstrates that better hearing can help our brains stay healthier and sharper as well. Although most people experience some hearing loss as they get older, they tend to wait approximately 10 years before getting help. We can see now that 10 years is too long to wait. During those years, communication becomes more difficult resulting in an increased isolation from conversations and interaction with loved ones. The findings emphasize just how important being proactive is in addressing any hearing loss we may have. One reason people wait is that hearing loss tends to progress slowly and is often hard to recognize until it becomes extreme. A simple complimentary hearing exam is essential in promoting healthy hearing. It can help detect hearing loss early enough so your Audiologist is able to treat it successfully, preventing or reducing the likelihood of physical, mental and social health complications from affecting your quality of life. Be proactive, get your hearing tested today. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Dr. Renee Hadad Cichon, a Doctor of Audiology with HearAid Audiology Clinic, HearAid, LLC and may be reached at 888-625-0655 or by email at HearAidLLC.hotmail.com.

How to Preserve Assets When Faced With Long Term Care Costs Meet Charlie and Fran. They have three children, 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren… so far!

They have hopes and dreams for their future generations and have worked hard to ensure their legacy is passed on. As they age, they realize that if either one of them needs Long Term Care, that their property and other assets could be at risk. They need accurate information they can trust so that if Long Term Care needs come on suddenly they are prepared and able to protect their assets. It is estimated that over 70% of people over 65 will need some type of Long Term Care(LTC) according to the US Department of Health & Human Services. Colorado has many resources for financial help like Health First Colorado, Colorado’s Medicaid Program and Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension that will help pay for in home care, assisted living and nursing facility care. Most Colorado elderly who need help paying for LTC feel that they will not qualify for these programs because they have too much income or too many assets. In reality, many could qualify if they had the information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a VA Accreditation or a Certified Medicaid Planner (CMP) designation. The problem is, that often plans for one program will conflict with good planning for the other. With uncertain care costs it is 36 SOUTHERN COLORADO – SPRING 2019-2020

valuable to have one person or firm who understands multiple programs for assistance to ensure that in planning for one solution, an applicant isn’t disqualifying themselves for future aid from other programs. Aid and Attendance is available only to veterans who have served during wartime. It has a cap to benefits and if costs of care exceed the VA maximum benefit, then other programs will offer a better solution. The rules of eligibility are readily available online. However, incomplete or inaccurate advice often causes people to think they must “spend down” to qualify for these programs. This simply is not true and can lead to an unnecessary liquidation of the assets people have worked a lifetime to obtain. There are legitimate means of preserving valuable or sentimental assets and income. Here in Colorado, to the surprise of many, following guidelines carefully afford numerous opportunities to protect income and assets. Consulting with an accredited firm and CMP who specializes in LTC financial solutions can help you and your family to file a successful application and qualify for the program that has the best financial outcome for your family. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Stacy Osborne, MBA CMP with Beneficent, 719-645-8350 or email info@doinggoodforothers.com.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury or other medical conditions. They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation hospitals were created to provide services less costly on a per diem basis than general hospitals but provide a high level of professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapies. Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/ or Speech), and interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day.

A Labyrinth of Long Term Need information for an aging Care Choices relative or yourself but don’t know where to start? The overall goal of the ADRC (Aging & Disability Resources for Colorado) program is to empower individuals to effectively navigate their health and other long-term support options through free, unbiased assistance.

Sometimes referred to as “one stop shops” or “no wrong door” systems, ADRCs address many of the frustrations consumers and their families experience when trying to find needed information, services, and supports. Through integration or coordination of existing aging and disability service systems, ADRC programs raise visibility about the full range of options that are available, provide objective information, advice, counseling and assistance, empowering people to make informed decisions about their long term supports, and help people more easily access public and private long term supports and services programs. The ADRC program is available to people age 60 and over and age 18 – 59 with a disability that have long-term care needs. INFORMATION & ASSISTANCE ADRC Resource Specialists are very knowledgeable about available programs and services to help meet your needs. You can receive information on the following: n Caregiver support n Employment n Housing assistance

Getting the Right Care at the It is human nature to sometimes Right Time! think ahead and plan for the future. For example, we plan for school, relationships, births, vacations and retirement.

Strategic planning is not all that difficult. It may require that we step back from our day-to-day activities and think a bit about what we want to achieve, and how we wish to achieve it. That being said, too many of us are either embarrassed or uncomfortable planning for our future care needs. 70% of Americans will eventually need help with everyday tasks such as getting dressed or eating. In addition at some point we all face an end of life scenario. Being educated on what services are available to you as we age puts you in a position to be prepared. Fortunately there are medical agencies that can accommodate your needs in the comfort of your home. Integrated home health and hospices services enhance the ability for people to get the ‘right care at the right time for the right reason.’ This collaborative approach provides preparation from birth to end of-life medical needs; these include but are not limited to: n

Integrated care programs such as these provide a complete home health clinical support that is needed now with preparation and accommodation into hospice care later in the future. Because the type of care provided to the home health and hospice patients are similar, there is not much difference in the staff’s focus. However, caring partnerships acknowledge the difficulty of preparing for transition from rehab, curative care to comfort, end of life care while ensuring the transition is as smooth as possible. We can’t always predict when or how we will age but as it relates to care options, having long lasting relationships with members of a specialty interdisciplinary team can help empower you and your loved ones to face the future with confidence no matter the plan of care. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Sarah Martinez with Frontier Home Health & Hospice, and may be reached at (719) 544-5891, or by email smartinez@frontiercares.com.

HOSPICE CARE

Taking Care of Grandpa Growing up in Southern Colorado, every summer my grandparents would pick up me and my siblings for a trip to their cabin in Creede. My grandfather is a World War II veteran whose birthday just happens to fall on July 6, so we’d celebrate the country he loves and his birthday all in the same week. This year, my grandfather turned 97 years old. He says his years at the cabin are over, although he’d like to make one more trip and catch one more trout. Recently while at work, I received a text message from a neighbor, saying my grandfather had been taken to the emergency room in an ambulance. He had felt dizzy for many days, but that day was worse than ever and as my aunt went over to visit, she decided to call 911. After a day full of tests and no new diagnosis, my grandfather was sent home with a follow-up appointment with his cardiologist. If you knew my grandfather, you’d know that his one goal for the last years of life is to stay at home. That’s probably why he chose his oldest granddaughter, who works in hospice, to be his medical durable power of attorney. As grandpa’s MDPOA, my goals are the same as his - to keep him in the home he loves as long as it is safe for him to be there. While my grandfather, even at 97, is not sick enough to qualify for hospice care, he benefits from our palliative care team, which visits him

at home. Being a disabled veteran, my grandfather qualifies for Veterans Administration benefits that include payment for palliative care services. Each week, his nurse visits him and checks his vitals, fills his medication planner and answers any health questions he has. The palliative care program has truly helped keep my grandfather independent. At some point, my grandfather will be within the last six months of his life and he can be enrolled in hospice care. At that time, he will have an even larger team of clinicians coming into his home and meeting his needs. I am hoping that my grandfather gets his wish and gets to pass away in the home he loves surrounded by his large family who loves him. If he has to be moved to a facility, I am comfortable knowing the same great hospice care he receives at home can follow him to the facility. Knowing what I do about the end of life, I am very aware that my grandfather is close to needing hospice services. I am familiar with the exceptional level of care he will receive and how much easier things will be for my 95-year-old grandmother, who is his primary caregiver. More than that, I know he will be treated with the dignity at the end of his life which is so important to him. After seeing firsthand how crucial hospice and palliative care services can be for a person, I encourage everyone to become more familiar with the hospice Medicare benefit.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

I also saw an elderly veteran whose options, health, and control are slipping away from him. While there is uncertainty in the end, I am so thankful for the care he is guaranteed through the hospice Medicare benefit. I will always want the best end-of-life care for my grandpa, and you should settle for nothing less for yours. ~

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice care is available to anyone who has Medicare part A with zero deductibles or out of pocket expenses, meaning it can benefit everybody, regardless of the ability to pay. While a trip to the cabin did not happen this July, grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday was celebrated on my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back porch with our whole family along to take part in the celebration. As I watched my grandfather celebrate the milestone of his 97th birthday, I saw a boy heading off to war and coming back disabled. I saw a Southeastern Colorado farmer who worked so hard his entire life. I saw a grandpa who taught his grandchildren to fish and so much more.

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 79 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, 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.

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?

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 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. 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.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

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.

SeniorsBlueBook.com

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

Mom’s Big Decision (An I wouldn’t say my mother was illustrative story) ever a social butterfly, but since Dad’s passing the home health nurse and physical therapist had become the week’s highlights.

We just could never get there often enough! Then the pneumonia and fall in the bathroom last winter scared us all. My brother said there was no way Mom could afford a senior home because a coworker told him what it cost for his dad. I did an internet search and made a few calls but there were so many types, terms, and care levels that I gave up. My brother and I both have full time jobs! A few weeks later I had coffee with a friend whose elderly neighbor just moved into a retirement community. They had an advisor who helped the family discover the right place for free. My call to the advisor gave me incredible hope! He came to Mom’s home and asked about her health, where we lived, Mom’s lifestyle before last winter, her finances, and just listened to our story. Right then, the advisor described some communities that seemed exactly what Mom needed. I was totally surprised how Mom responded – it was like she was catching the vision of what it would be like to share everyday life with

84 SOUTHERN COLORADO – SPRING 2019-2020

others again! We toured four assisted living communities, met staff, observed resident activities, viewed units, and sometimes had lunch. We returned for a second and even one third tour. Our advisor was with us on as many tours as we wanted, and he helped us compare our feelings, observations, and costs. Well, it has now been four months since Mom made the big decision. I am convinced this went so well because we just patiently gave her more information, showed her what assisted living looked like, and considered the little things that made a huge difference. The same home health nurse and physical therapist are still seeing her. Now we visit Mom and hear stories about who moved in, the lady’s son who builds rockets, and the teenager who plays violin and is coming this afternoon. The word “thrive” comes to mind… and “relief.”~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jim Ver Meer, Owner and Advisor of Senior Living Decisions.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Helping Individuals With The challenges faced by individuals Parkinson’s with Parkinson’s disease (PD), even within their own homes, can be Disease many and varied. PD is a disease that develops and worsens slowly over time. Symptoms range widely from motor symptoms (like tremors, coordination, balance, walking deficits, lack of facial expression, decreased vocal volume and inflection) to non-motor symptoms (like depression, anxiety, constipation, lethargy). Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, depending on how long they have had the disease, what sorts of treatments they employ, as well as other disease processes and other factors which may impact them. Treatments which can be used to successfully manage the symptoms and may assist with slowing the disease progression include medication management, evidence-based, PD-specific exercise programs and possibly surgery. Skilled home care agencies working with these individuals are in the unique position of seeing exactly what challenges patients with PD and their care partners face in their homes. Symptoms can fluctuate, sometimes in an unpredictable manner. Skilled home health staff can help to improve safety and function within the home, as well as help with the transition back to the community.

Within the home, individuals with Parkinson’s disease may struggle with slow, small movements which can affect their ability to dress, bathe, move in bed and prepare food efficiently and safely. Deficits in walking caused by PD may make it difficult to negotiate changes in flooring, small spaces and doorways, and may also increase an individual’s risk for falls. Individuals with PD and their care partners may require community resources and/or may need to find additional caregiver help in the home and information regarding finances and planning for the future. Lack of facial expression, deficits in speech and decreased breath support may impact communication and individuals may have cognitive deficits. Correct and timely medication regimens are also integral to safe and efficient management of symptoms. Home health clinicians with specialized training coordinate closely with all team members to target the deficits associated with Parkinson’s disease. RNs, PTs, OTs, STs, MSWs and CNAs enable their patients with PD to meet their goals and maximize their potential. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Susie Lefebvre, PT.

No One Wants to be a Number

Years ago Charles Kuralt had a news segment called “On the Road,” which aired on CBS Evening News. Charles would stop in a city, grab a phone book from a telephone booth, and let his finger randomly stop at a name. He would then meet said person and conduct a life interview with them, and my recall is that in every interview he uncovered a fascinating person with a fascinating story. It is with this approach that the staff at the Upper Arkansas Area Agency on Aging endeavor to work with our clients and their stories. Sometimes it is difficult, as time constraints, many tasks at hand, and client representation all need to be balanced. But when people leave our office and they carry themselves 112 SOUTHERN COLORADO – SPRING 2019-2020 112

in a manner which reflects they’ve been heard, we really feel we are doing a good job. By the time an individual has experienced enough years to be considered “elderly,” they have gone through an incredible array of circumstances that have formed their being – and who among us cannot take the time to learn something from every single person – elderly or not – we are fortunate enough to encounter? ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Upper Arkansas Area Agency on Aging in Salida, CO.
