Elder Refugee Program When working-age refugees come to the United States, they often bring their families — including older adult relatives. The Elder Refugee Program helps older adult immigrants discover resources, make social connections, meet other newcomers to the U.S., stay healthy and active, explore the Denver region’s arts and culture and feel welcome in the community. The Elder Refugee Program is funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement and provided by the Area Agency on Aging. Multiple language services are available. For more information call 303-480-6700.

Ombudsmen If you live in a long-term care setting, there might be a time where you need someone who can help you understand your rights. An ombudsman advocates for the rights of residents in assisted living and nursing homes. Ombudsmen work with residents to make sure they receive the care they want and need. They help residents maintain their quality of life and receive quality care in all licensed long-term care settings. DRCOG also houses the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) Ombudsman. PACE ombudsmen are advocates for participants in programs outside of long-term care facilities. They help participants resolve issues related to care, health, safety or the participant’s rights. For more information call 303-480-6734.

Why Would I Consider A Trust For My Estate Planning In 2022? In 2022, and after living through the pandemic, everyone needs an estate plan, it doesn’t matter what your socio-economic circumstances are.

A simple estate plan will typically contain at least three documents. This will generally include a durable medical power of attorney and a durable financial power of attorney. The other document typically found is a way to pass your property upon death such as a will. However, there are times when a trust might be an option in your estate planning instead of or in addition to a will. So why should you consider a trust? Trusts are useful estate planning tools that can accomplish a variety of goals. They can help avoid probate, minimize taxes, and be used to give property to minor or disabled loved ones. Trusts can be created during a person’s lifetime (Living Trusts) or at the person’s death (Testamentary Trusts). Some different types of Trusts from both categories are discussed below. Living Trust A person can transfer their assets to a Living Trust and, as trustee, continue using their assets as they always have. Tax Planning Trusts Several different types of Living Trusts provide flexible alternatives for minimizing capital gains and estate taxes, including the Charitable Remainder Trust, Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, Qualified Personal Residence Trust, Grantor Retained Annuity Trust,and Grantor Retained Unitrust.

30 SOUTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

Testamentary Trusts A person can create a Trust under a Will, called a Testamentary Trust, which does not take effect until they are deceased. Disability Trusts (also known as Special Needs Trusts) A Disability Trust is a type of Living Trust that allows a disabled person under the age of 65 to use her own assets for her special needs, other than food and shelter, and keep public benefits, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). 3 reasons you may need a trust as part of your estate plan n

re you concerned about proA tecting a gift from creditors or litigation? Does a loved one need nursing home care or Medicaid eligibility? Do you want to provide for children, grandchildren or charitable organizations?

The types of assets you own is another important consideration. Here are three typical reasons you might need a trust.

A loved one cannot be trusted with a large gift or has special needs If you have concerns that a child does not have the financial skills to manage a gift or the loved one receives government benefits.

You want to transfer complex assets in a thoughtful manner Trusts can be effective for keeping a vacation home or a closely-held business in the family. For large Continued on page 34

Trust planning can help avoid probate, simplifying the process for your loved ones. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Andrew P.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Beneﬁcent quickly navigates seniors and disabled adults to the best ﬁnancial program to help pay for senior care, including adult day care, home care, or nursing homes.

Practical Solutions to Pay for Long-term Care 70% of people over 65 will need some type of long-term care (LTC). 70% of applicants applying for LTC Medicaid on their own are denied due to inaccurate information. Here in Colorado, the average cost for LTC is $8,758 per month according to 2020 state information. However, there are solutions for how to pay for the high costs of LTC that protect income and assets. Based on the statistics above there is a huge need for services that help people navigate the LTC Medicaid application. A Medicaid planning agency can educate on the financial programs available and expose the plethora of inaccurate LTC Medicaid information. Most Colorado Seniors who need

help paying for LTC feel they will not qualify for Medicaid because they have too much income or assets. Some Seniors believe they must “spend down” (myth #1). In reality, many could qualify if they had the information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a Certified Medicaid Planner (CMP) designation. A CMP assists and educates on how to meet all qualifications, and can provide numerous opportunities to protect income and assets! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Stacy Osborne, MBA CMP with Beneficent.

Which Medicare Health Plan is Finding a Medicare health plan Right For You? that supports your health, lifestyle, and budget is important. Consider your care needs and what your life may be like after you turn 65. The first step in choosing the right coverage is understanding the four parts of Medicare – Parts A, B, C, and D. Each part covers specific services, from medical care to prescription drugs. n

T ogether, Part A and Part B are called Original Medicare and are provided by the federal government. It covers about 80% of hospital and medical expenses and doesn’t include prescription drug coverage. P art C — known as Medicare Advantage — is another way to get Part A and B coverage. You can get these plans from private health care providers. P art D is prescription drug coverage that can be added to Original Medicare.

Next, pick Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan that best suits your needs. With Medicare Advantage plans, you’ll get other benefits, like affordable prescription drug coverage, dental and vision. These plans also have predictable costs with set copays, which can make it easier to plan your expenses. Other important aspects of a good Medicare health plan are affordabil58 SOUTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

ity, convenience, and quality care. Another consideration that adds to a better patient experience is integrated care. Integrated care links all aspects of patient care together in an electronic medical record system. You can receive updates from doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and many specialists, all connected in one place. This enables your clinical care team to develop a personalized care plan. Lab results and doctor’s notes are available with 24/7 access to your health record. To compare Medicare Advantage plans based on quality and service, use the star quality ratings given each year by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Medicare health plans are rated in five categories: preventive care, chronic care, prescription drugs, customer service, and member satisfaction. A 5-star rating is excellent. When choosing a Medicare health plan, finding one that offers convenience, quality, service, access, and an integrated care experience, will give you peace of mind. ~

Are You Thinking of Selling Are you thinking of selling your Your Home? home and are not sure where to start? You’re not alone.

Selling a home can often be a stressful and overwhelming experience for many. Here are some questions to consider. First, is time a factor? Zillow suggests that the average time to sell a home in the US is between 55-70 days. Does that timeline fit your needs? Next, what kind of condition is your home in? Is the property in good enough shape where a family could move right in without the need of significant repairs or remodeling? Are you comfortable doing or have access to contractors that can execute any agreed upon repairs requested on a buyer’s inspection list? Finally, are you fine moving out on the date of sale? Would you possibly need time to stay in the property for a period after you sell your property? If there’s no time crunch, your home is in good shape, and you can leave the home on the closing date, then most likely the best first step is to call a trusted agent and have a conversation about listing it. However, there are other options to consider. Selling your home to a family member, a neighbor, or a friend is often a great way to sell a property. Another option is to call a professional homebuyer. In addition

64 SOUTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

to closing quickly if needed, professional homebuyers can purchase your property in its “as is” condition, requiring no repairs or inspection lists for you to worry about. Also, a professional homebuyer can

often be flexible on your move out date, potentially saving you money on temporary housing or storage. Naturally, you will most likely NOT get the same purchase price as you would if you fixed up the property (if needed) and sold it using a real estate agent. However, while professional homebuyers buy houses at a discount, they also offer a significant amount of ease and convenience. Ultimately, it is your and your family’s decision as to the best route to go when selling your home. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by your local Denver area Homevestors® Team who may be reached at 303-747-5989.

What’s Right For Me? Hospital stays, planned or unplanned, are never a first choice for a vacation. Despite our desire to be relaxing on a beach or enjoying the mountains, you or someone you love will unfortunately end up spending time in a hospital. Once stable, hospital patients frequently say the same thing, “I just want to go home.” When you are in a hospital, your road home may be direct or it may include a short detour to a shortterm rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility. Safety and function are two key points to consider when choosing the best road home. Acute hospitals have the staff, equipment and expertise to care for unstable patients. The need for acute hospital care ends once the patient is stable. With advances in medicine, the amount of time needed to become “stable” is getting shorter and shorter. Families are often surprised at how fast their loved one discharges from the hospital. This is because stable patients are not always safe patients, which is a concern for both patients and families. If a patient is stable, but not safe to go home, they will most likely need additional time at a short-term rehabilitation center/ skilled nursing facility to regain their safety. Physical function is another area

68 SOUTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

needing consideration when deciding if going home is the right choice. If the patient can independently perform basic “activities of daily living,” they will most likely go directly home. If they need help with these activities, a quick stay at a short-term rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility is key. Examples of these basic activities are; eating, drinking, using the restroom, transferring between positions such as, lying to sitting, sitting to standing, standing to sitting, and walking. These basic functions can be lost during an extended hospital stay. This is normal and easily remedied with a quick stay at a short-term rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility. If you find yourself in a situation where your safety or function is keeping you from going home, remember that a stay at a short-term rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility is exactly what you need. Your hospital case manager will help you navigate your road home. I highly recommend having someone tour at least three short-term rehabilitation centers/skilled nursing facilities on your behalf to find the one that fits your unique need. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Troy Hamler, N.H.A.

The Importance of Intergenerational Intergenerational programming Programming is one of the most rewarding

and positive experiences for all who are involved.

Elders love seeing and interacting with the children, and younger generations can learn valuable life lessons from our Elders. In traditional settings, these interactions would take place in family gatherings where relatives visit the Elders, and they would see their grandchildren and great grandchildren which allows them to remain as an integral part of family and overall community. Meaningful interaction and socialization contribute immensely to well-being and positive mental health in older adults. Long-term care communities strive to maintain the important connection between the generations through unique opportunities with activities and programs. Summer camps or school service volunteer programs occur in nursing homes so that Elders can enjoy socializing with children and participate in group activities together. More specific interventions such as art and music therapy groups, where Elders can pair up with a junior volunteer

70 SOUTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

or a child to build relationships and participate in artmaking and music playing, are some of the popular non-pharmaceutical interventions that bring myriads of benefits such as decrease in physical pain, depression, and loneliness, as well as an increase in confidence and self-esteem. Social integration between Elders and younger generations promotes overall strength and unity in our communities. While it has been difficult to navigate through the pandemic to maintain these intergenerational opportunities due to limited visitation, utilizing technology for video communication allows connections between the Elders and younger generations. Many virtual communication and activity options are explored constantly, ensuring these valuable relationships continue to thrive. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by San Baek, the Director of Resident Life at Shalom Park Nursing Home.

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.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

The Top 3 Things to Know to Have Success with an In-Home You are not alone. 1Your caregivers and the agency Care Agency office staff are now a part of your team. That’s right, you have a team now. You are no longer alone on this journey. Set up your new team as an extended part of your family. Share your insights with them and learn from the insights they garner from their time spent with your loved one. Because these new team members don’t have the same history and dynamics, you will be surprised by the different relationship they are able to form with your loved one.

This is a journey – give it some time.

Aging is a journey, not a destination. Allow time for the agency to find the right fit and then for those caregivers to develop relationships that will bond them to your loved one and will help make the journey smoother. Everyone understands there are tasks to be handled, but if you have a resistant loved one, allow some time for the caregivers to build trust inside that relationship. You will find that once trust has been built, those tasks (and so much more) can be easily accomplished. 122 SOUTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

Communication is the key.

Good communication with your team is the key to success. Whether is it receiving reports after every visit or setting up regular team meetings, staying in regular contact is vital to making sure this relationship is best serving you and your loved one. Once care is put in place, the journey continues. If you are in constant communication with your caregivers and your agency team, then you will all be able to adjust and pivot easily. Caregiving tends to be reactive, not proactive. But, with a team in place, trust built and open communication – you can get ahead of changing needs and make a plan that will make the experience better for everyone. Creating a team of support around you and your loved one will set everyone up for the best possible outcomes. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jared Kelso.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Questions to Ask Any Non-Medical Home Care Does your agency utilize an Agency that Offers a existing VA benefit called ‘Veteran Program’ ‘Aid & Attendance’? Some agencies offer help to Veterans but it’s mostly just gathering paperwork necessary for the A&A... and that’s it! Care typically doesn’t start until the VA pays the client, which can take months with agencies unfamiliar with the process. If you call an agency and they don’t know anything about the A&A benefit OR they do offer it and/ or it takes longer than 2-4 weeks to START care… move on! Instead, try and find an agency that understands the complexity of the A&A, can start care within 2-4 weeks and has no hidden costs to get started. Do you have experienced VA Accredited Agents within your office to help with this process? Some agencies will outsource this critical step to local Attorneys or Financial Planners that may have accreditation, but the A&A benefit is just one of many products they offer. Find an agency that has VA Accredited Agents on their team that are dedicated and focused only on capturing the A&A benefit and offer no other products or services. Are there any upfront costs? Again, some agencies work through an Attorney or a Financial Planner that technically can help you with this process; however, they have creative ways of collecting payment for

How long will it take before I can start care? Most agencies don’t start care immediately simply because they don’t have the funds available to absorb the cost of labor for weeks or even months waiting on the VA to begin payment. So, they will process the paperwork and make you wait until the VA releases the funds.

People who’ve experienced hospice care most often have positive things to say, such as: “We couldn’t have done it without you.” Why then are people who could benefit from hospice often hesitant to access it? In brief: It’s complicated. Surely it has to do with admitting that life is short, not in the metaphorical enjoy-every-moment sense, but in the short-term permanent way. That is a hard pill to swallow. And medical advances may leave the door open for the “what ifs.” When considering hospice, it’s important to note three things:

Treatment to cure a condition(s) typically stops, but quality medical care doesn’t.

Patients and family receive ongoing practical, emotional and spiritual support.

Some people graduate from hospice services.

There are countless individuals whose final weeks or months have been made better because of the total support of hospice. Others receiving hospice care have been known to see improvement in their

overall condition, even outliving their prognosis. Famed columnist Art Buchwald said of his own hospice graduation, “[Friends] can’t believe, after I said goodbye, I’m going to Martha’s Vineyard instead of Paradise.” He lived eleven months beyond his admission to hospice and accomplished a great many things, including promoting hospice care.

HOSPICE CARE

Why Not Hospice?

Why hospice? Accessing hospice care means admitting that a person’s life span is relatively short. (Hospice criteria is a presumed six months or fewer.) Regardless of time, the specialized, compassionate care and support of the hospice team can make a tremendous difference for individuals at the end of life—and those who love them. So, the question becomes: Why not? Those interested in learning more can talk with a medical provider or a hospice provider in their area. Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Agape Healthcare, Hospice & Palliative Care, which may be reached at 720-482-1988.

INDEPENDENT / RETIREMENT LIVING COMMUNITIES

Embrace, Prepare and Plan Aging in America has never been a popular subject. We know it happens, but we never really want to think or talk about it. When we do, the conversation usually revolves around how to hide the signs of aging instead of how we can embrace and prepare for the next phase of life. Believe me, life can be enjoyed through the end, I’ve seen joyful aging in action. However, education and preparation is pivotal to understanding how to age well and have the best care and quality of life. For instance, do you know the difference between a Nursing facility (medical model of care), an Assisted Living facility (non-medical model of care, but can provide some healthcare services) and a Personal Care Home (non-medical model of care)? Are you aware that Therapy Services can be provided in your home? Did you know that Home Care, Home Health and Hospice are similar but offer distinctly different services that can be provided anywhere you call home? As an industry, Long Term Care has not done the best job educating our future consumers on what is available to them as they age.

170 SOUTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

With new technology and a growing older population, the industry is expanding and evolving by leaps and bounds. You need to be proactive, research and plan for the inevitable, not avoid it. The better the research the better the outcome. Thankfully the days of the “Old Folks Home” are gone, replaced by vibrant senior living communities that focus on hospitality, wellness and aging gracefully with dignity and independence, but you need to make sure the community is the right fit for you. All communities are dynamic and have their own living culture regardless of whether they are owned by a large corporation or a small regional provider. You need to tour, ask questions of residents and staff, and attend a meal and/or activity. The same due diligence applies to researching home care agencies. Research and prepare now. Form a plan. Do not put off for tomorrow, what you need to do today. If you wait until you need the help your options may become significantly limited. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by S.

it as one condition. However, dementia is a term used to describe a variety of conditions relating to a form of memory impairment. Dementia doesn’t discriminate. It can affect any of us, regardless of health history or genetic makeup. But while receiving a dementia diagnosis can be frightening, it is important to remember that someone living with dementia can still enjoy the rich experiences that life has to offer. Having a fuller understanding of the different types of dementia that exist can help guide individuals and their loved ones’ care decisions.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 60 to 80 percent of cases. With Alzheimer’s, abnormal proteins develop and disrupt the connections between neurons and nerve cells in the brain. As more of these connections are lost, the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (memory loss, confusion about time, etc.) become more prevalent. Frontotemporal dementia affects the nerve cells and connections in the frontal and temporal lobes of

the brain. Because these lobes are associated with personality, behavior, and language, individuals with frontotemporal dementia experience symptoms and changes involving these areas. Vascular dementia is caused by conditions that limit or block blood flow to the brain, resulting in oxygen deprivation that causes a decline in thinking skills. This type of dementia is generally caused by conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart disease, and stroke.

Once a decision to get your resident placed has been made, how do you decide where to place them? They need to be assessed by a competent individual who can guide the placement. This placement decision is critical in helping figure out how this person is going to live out the final leg of their life journey. When assessments are made, the individual can be at different stages in the deficit or disease process. It is up to the assessing person to figure out, based on their experience and available information, when and where this person should be placed. Consideration must be given to: n

may adapt to the setting. Most facilities fit into one of these 3 categories. Keep in mind that once you select a category another breakdown could be done on the facilities within that category to choose the best fit for the senior. 3 Types of Placements:

SNF/Rehab - high degree of medical assistance, poor on nurturing and managing behaviors or non-medical challenges which accompany cognitive deficits due to unavailable staff and care model objectives, (they are not setup for the added non-medical care needed).

Large ALF – It can be a good fit if the resident can function at a high level, is able to do many things by themselves, with some reminders, and can appreciate the amenities that many of these facilities offer. When the resident’s needs increase and they cannot be met

any longer, then one of the other settings could prove better.

Small ALF (residential) – resident would benefit from more oversight, more nurturing, some extra help managing their day-today functions, smaller group of residents helps eliminate anxiety, financially more affordable than #1 or #2, customized approach to caring based on the setting and the other residents, Staff is more stable and consistent and helps resident adapt. They often have a higher care-to-resident ratio. It may not have fancy amenities. Residents tend to stay in these settings through end of life. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Russ Udelhofen, Administrator of Jaxpointe Assisted Living Memory Care Homes.
