Many of us procrastinate when it comes to writing a will. Many of us procrastinate when it comes to writing a will. Perhaps we don’t want to be reminded of our mortality. It may be a fear of the anticipated expense or a loss of control over property. But having a will extinguishes those fears. Want a few other reasons? A will contains your selection of who will receive what, when and how upon your death. You decide who will take care of your minor children. You facilitate the probate process (making it less expensive and quicker). You can disinherit individuals, make gifts or charitable donations and provide for your pets. You decide who administers your estate to see that everything goes as you have directed. If no will exists, the state will determine how your property is divided. This can be easily avoided with proper planning. By creating your will now, you can always add to the provisions or alter the document as your life evolves. It’s advisable to review your current will every five years to be sure that it’s up to date and still reflective of your future wishes.~

SERVICESANDRESOURCESCOMMUNITY SLOPE - SUMMER 2022-202344 The differences between a Power of Attorney and Court-appointed Conservators and Guardians are quite substantial. One can be done prior to its need arising, while the others are usually done after a traumatic incident has occurred and decisions for the person must be made by another party. The differences will be discussed in part as they pertain to Long Term Care Medicaid. A Power of Attorney, or POA, for medical decisions and financial transactions is a set of documents that will beTheonmakearepacitatedbecomeifsionstoyoursomeoneallowofchoosingmakedeci-foryouyoushouldinca-andnotabletodecisionsyourown.POA’smaydoneyearsin advance of being needed, and can be done thru an attorney or with forms available at office supply stores or online. With these documents, you may appoint someone with whom you’re confident, who will make choices on your behalf. For instance, if you discuss your preferences ahead of time with your POA, the appointee would know if you want life support if needed, or if you do not want to be put onto life support. Likewise, a financial Durable POA can pay bills out of your bank account for you, sell a vehicle, or even your home if required for long term assisted housing.ForColorado Medicaid, it is advisable in the financial Power of Attorney to include an additional paragraph that pertains to setting up trusts. Most documents have a general reference to trusts. However, Colorado Medicaid requires special verbiage in the document to work with the State. The

Many older POA’s do not have this additional wording. Because it’s only been recently that the State made this change, it would be advisable to review your current Powers of Attorney to see if this is included.

We can outline potential spend down options.
Updating POA’s every 5-10 years or so would be advisable anyway, as situations change with time. Did you know that a Power of Attorney appointment ends with the death of the person for whom the POA was established? Should the person pass away, the person’s POA, and their rights, end. It’s at this point that an executor of a Will begins.Ifaperson does not have Powers of Attorney set up and there’s a life-altering incident, such as a stroke, a court appointment for the person would be required. Conservators cover financial transactions and Guardianships take care of medical decisions. Generally speaking, a lawyer would be well-utilized in helping with the documents required for the courts. The Conservatorship/ Guardianship process can be cumbersome, so having an attorney who is familiar with the procedures is very helpful. Unfortunately, it’s alsoOverall,costly.the best advice would be to have Powers of Attorney set up while you’re healthy and able to make your own choices. Including the inter-vivo’s wording ensures the POA will cover transactions that may be required. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Joell Gray, owner of JG Medicaid Consulting LLC.

We are NOW living in the future space age healing concepts. One system of bio-feedback is not just checking increased heart rate or changes in breathing this new scanner listens to your voice. Yes, your voice. Why? Think about it when you call a friend or family member you can tell something is wrong just by their voice. We reflect our state of health through our voice. This new scanning system identifies what those stressors are by identifying the 3 highest tones and the lowest tone. It’s surprising what information is gained from just your voice. Just like a lie detector, you can’t deceive anyone by your words when your voice gives you away. By identifying the 3 high tones it reflects our most current emotional state and any conflicts with those emotions that we may be feeling. So, what then? The goal in health is to maintain homeostasis or balance in our system. This scanning system offers 4 corrective or balancing frequencies to bring more emotional balance to the client. One person who used this type of therapy indicated that by listening to the balancing tones for a couple of weeks a couple of times a day, they felt it had done better than 10 years of psychotherapy. Listening to the harmonizing tones a couple of times a day, before going to bed or starting your day, can shift your emotional and mental state. The scans are individualized for each person. Even Einstein and Nikola Tesla recognized that everything was influenced by energy. When the body is given a harmonizing frequency it can change not only our mental/emotional health but our bodies chemistry andWehealth.accept equipment like an EKG, EEG, PET Scan and other frequencies for diagnostic testing

It’s now time to recognize that we have even newer methods for identifying and balancing our health and wellness. Star Trek and futuristic methods are here today. Get rid of the stressors and pain. If you were to look back on your life, whether young or old, and iden tify the stressors in your life, that will give you a great measuring tool for your current state of health. Take ac tion to clear old and current stress so that you can live life to the fullest!~

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-stand ing 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.

Coping With a
COLORADO’S WESTERN SLOPE - SUMMER 2022-202392 An older adult notices symptoms that suggest a health problem. Their doctor performs an examination, tests, and arrives at a diagnosis. It might be a health condition that will surely change the patient’s life, such as dementia, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease or a progressive vision loss. What’s next? “Steps taken now can affect their well-being as they move forward,” says David McKendry, Own er of Right at Home. After a diagnosis a patient often ex periences stages of grief, including shock, denial and anger. These emotions can lead to depression. Yet for the patient, spouse and or family members, re ceiving a diagnosis also can bring a sense of relief and reduce anxiety from worrying. Steps in facing the emotional challenges of a diagno sis are talking to family and friends for support, consult a counselor, and joining a support group - these help the patient cope and have a sense of control.Patients initially feel helpless and resigned to their fate, it’s much better to confront the diagnosis head on and focus on a plan of action. The goal is to move from “Why me?” to “What can I do?” Family members can take charge by learning all they can about the condition, discuss the prognosis and care plan with the health team, get organized financially (directives for financial and health matters), bring in experts (financial planners, elder law attorney’s, aging life care professionals), and support family caregivers to share the care tasks. Early on, consider whether the patient’s home will continue to meet their needs as those needs change. Though sometimes it is best to move to a skilled supportive living environment, most patients prefer to receive care in their own homes with a non-med ical in-home caregiver assistance like Right at Home. We help with bathing and dressing, grocery shopping, preparing nutritious meals, transporta tion, help coordinate doctor appoint ments, provide health care reminders and“Professionalmore. in-home care also supports the well-being of family,” says McKendry. “These services allow them to spend more time focusing on their relationship and things that are meaningful in life.”~

A PACE Day Center is a location where participants can receive prima ry care by meeting with a doctor or nurse in the clinic, receive rehabili tation treatments to improve strength and balance, enjoy recreational and social activities, participate in oneon-one or group therapy, receive spir itual support and enjoy a meal. The number of days a participant attends the day center will be discussed with the participant and determined through the assessment process.
Aging in Place with Home-Based Care
AMERICAOFVOLUNTEERS - SUMMER 2022-2023
By caring for older adults through this model, prevention of acute illness and conditions can often be prevented, thereby reducing the number of emergency room visits and hospital readmissions while allowing the individual to age in place in their own home.

COLORADO’S WESTERN SLOPE
The Program for All-inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE) has been pro viding wrap-around care to partici pants in Montrose and Delta Counties since 2008. PACE is a Medicare/ Medicaid managed care benefit for adults aged 55 or older who choose to live in their homes despite being certified by the state as nursing home eligible. The goal of the PACE program is help program participants remain as independent as possible while living in their own home and community.SeniorCommUnity
Care is the Western Slope’s PACE provider and manages the program with a staff of paid professionals of various disci plines. There are two PACE day cen ters and office locations in Montrose and Eckert. Participants must be able to live safely at home within a PACE site’s geographic area. The core of the PACE program is the interdisciplinary team. The team works to provide comprehensive med ical and social services to the PACE participants. This team includes a primary care physician, nurses, dieti cian, nursing aides, drivers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, recreational therapists and social workers. The interdisciplinary team meets daily and is responsible for de termining care needs, allocating re sources, coordination of all services, and development of a comprehensive care plan, which is developed for each individual participant.
The care plan addresses a set of functional issues that are relevant to the overall health of the older adult participant. These include cognition, emotional status, social activity, mobility, diagnoses, medications, nutrition and other activities of daily living. Payment for services and mon itoring of the quality of the services is authorized and directed by the interdisciplinary team.

Many older adults would prefer to age in place in their own home in stead of being transferred to a long term care center or nursing home.
