HOME & GARDEN

15 Ways

to Add Curb Appeal to Your Home 1. Accent a bay window by adding window panels below the opening.

2. Add classic crown or fascia dentil molding beneath gutters and eaves to heighten the appearance of your home.

3. If you have a ceiling fan on a front porch, add a two-piece ceiling medallion around the fan’s base to add style to your entire porch.

4. Replace older, rotting wooden louvers with low-maintenance polyurethane louvers.

5. Upgrade the look of your entryway by adding a new brass kick plate and polishing your door hardware.

6. Flank your windows with easy-care polyurethane shutters.

7. Add sparkle to your yard with a decorative lamp post that can help light up the night.

8. Give your house style by adding brackets under roof eaves and on porches.

9. If your home has a Victorian style, use spires to accent exterior areas, fencing and gated areas of the home.

10. Accent your exterior with a new, colorful welcome mat, decorative flags, planter boxes and baskets of flowers.

11. Add dimension to porch ceilings with faux beams.

12. Since the pineapple is the universal sign of hospitality, add a decorative half-round or full round pineapple accent piece in the entryway to your home.

13. Add a trellis system to top off a garage door or side entry door.

14. Add brackets and corbels to side entry areas of the home to bring attention to this area of the house.

15. Cover up unsightly wooden posts with a PVC Column Wrap.

LEGAL & FINANCIAL

Medicaid Myths .. Debunked 1) You have to spend down all your money to apply for Medicaid.

I recently assisted an individual with total assets of $309,896 that met Medicaid eligibility. The amount paid to the Nursing facility for her care is her Social Security check of $950 and $2300 in the form of a one year annuity. Her long term insurance pays the additional $3,000 of her monthly $6,000 bill for her care. The excess assets were placed in an irrevocable trust for the benefit of her family members.

2) If there is a couple, and one enters the Nursing Facility, you have to spend down 1/2 of your assets.

In the situation of a couple where one member goes into the facility and the other remains in the community, there is no limit on the equity value of the home (typically $552,000). With 215,000 in total assets, they were able to conserve the total amount of the assets by purchasing a 4 month annuity and getting all the funds back to the community spouse in 4 equal installments of $25,000 each. Most all cases of one spouse in the NF, the entire amount of the assets can be saved for the spouse remaining in the community.

3) If you give away assets, you have to wait 3 years to apply for Medicaid.

Actually, there is a look back period of 5 years for all transfers. The penalties begin when the nursing facility resident meets all eligibility requirements, not at the time of the transfer. For every $156.34 transferred or given away, there is a one day penalty for the resident.

Once the Medicaid requirements are met, the resident can receive Medicaid but due to the penalty must pay their daily rate.

There are also many programs for those low income individuals in the community to obtain many types of services, an attendant to assist them with personal care, meal preparation or meals on wheels, housekeeping, respite, emergency response buttons to enable them to stay in the community for a longer period of time. There are other programs to assist with payment of the Medicare premiums each month and some low income individuals qualify for a program that in addition to the Medicare premium will also pay for co-payments and deductibles for Medicare.

VeeCee Spear is a former Medicaid Eligibility Worker, Mentor, Supervisor and also worked in the Policy Section for Long Term Care Medicaid for 20 years. She has been actively consulting/assisting Texans through the very complex Medicaid system for the past 5 years.

Must-Have Legal Documents

by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

W

hether you’re a caregiver or interested in getting your own business in order, we’ve identified five recommended legal documents that every adult should have. There are many online resources that explain in further detail about each document. If you have an attorney, be sure to ask about these documents or there are online resources that provide a free template for you to create your own. Don’t wait until it’s too late—take a moment to get organized.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVE Also known as a living will or health care declaration/directive, this document outlines your wishes for medical treatments and life-sustaining measures, in the case that you are not able to communicate them verbally. Details might include a “do not resuscitate” order (DNR), the use of breathing machines, tube feeding or organ donation. Making these decisions in advance lets medical professionals know what measures to take and grants your loved ones peace of mind, should they have to communicate these decisions for you.

43

DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE While an advance directive is limited to end-of-life concerns, a durable power of attorney for health care accounts for all health care decisions in the case that you are incapable of making decisions for yourself. In this document, you are able to outline how your designated power of attorney should act. Their authority to make these decisions ends when you are once again capable of making your own decisions.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Many people know this document simply as a “will.” It outlines how your property (including digital property such as email accounts and blogs) should be distributed and to whom. Different states have different requirements for one’s will. In Texas your will must be signed by two witnesses.

LIVING TRUST A living trust designates someone (trustee) to help manage and distribute your assets rather than going through the court system, as in a last will. This often prevents your last wishes from becoming public record. This document also designates terms in which the trustee would set into action, should you be unable to make decisions regarding your assets during and after your life.

FINANCIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY This document designates someone (principal) to do business on your behalf, should you be unable to take care of necessary matters yourself. Tasks designated might include paying bills, selling property, managing assets or applying for medical benefits. Unlike a living trust, a financial power of attorney dies when you do.

How can I determine if home care is necessary?

When self-care at home becomes difficult and/or family caregivers are not available to assist, home care may be the answer. Home care often relieves family members of basic caregiving functions and makes it possible to spend quality time, rather than the functional caregiving time.

Home care is often easier and faster than moving to an institutional care setting and allows the senior to stay at home in familiar surroundings.

HOME CARE SERVICES

Home Care vs Home Health Care

What is home health care?

When the need is for more than home and personal care, a home health care agency may be required. Home health care provides skilled medical services (such as administration and adjustment of medication levels, monitoring and dressing of wounds, etc.) in the home by trained medical personnel. Home health care is always ordered and supervised by a physician.

What is home care?

Simply put, home care is non-medical, personal assistance provided in the home. Home care may include help with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. It may include a wide range of services: taking and recording vital signs, assistance in the bathroom, light housekeeping, meal preparation, companionship, grocery shopping and pharmacy errands, home safety supervision, medication reminders, bill-paying, laundry, and transportation.

Will my insurance cover the costs?

Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances are sources of payment for receiving home and home health care. Home Healthcare services are typically medically necessary. They are paid for by Medicare or other health insurance, and have been ordered by a physician. Private duty home care services are typically paid for privately, or using long-term care insurance, reverse mortgage proceeds, or Veterans aid and attendance pension benefits, or some combination of any of these programs.

Alzheimer’s Tips

for Effective Communication

By MAYO CLINIC STAFF

A

lzheimer’s disease presents many challenges, and communication is a big one. Because Alzheimer’s disease slowly erodes verbal communication skills, your loved one’s words and expressions may make little or no sense to you.

In turn, your loved one may have trouble deciphering your words. The resulting misunderstandings can fray tempers all around, making communication even more difficult. Here’s help easing the frustration.

What to expect Alzheimer’s damages pathways in the brain, which makes it difficult to find the right words and to understand what others are saying.

Your loved one may incorrectly substitute one word for another or invent an entirely new word to describe a familiar object. He or she may get stuck in a groove—like a skipping record—and repeat the same word or question over and over.

138

www.SRGserv.com

A person living with Alzheimer’s may also: • Lose his or her train of thought • Struggle to organize words logically • Need more time to understand what you’re saying • Curse or use offensive language Despite the challenges, you can communicate effectively with a loved one who has Alzheimer’s. Consider these tips: • Speak clearly. Introduce yourself. Speak in a clear, straightforward manner.

• Show respect. Avoid secondary baby talk and diminutive phrases, such as “good girl.” Don’t assume that your loved one can’t understand you, and don’t talk about your loved one as if he or she weren’t there.

• Stay present. Maintain eye contact, and stay near your loved one so that he or she will know that you’re listening and trying to understand.

• Avoid distractions. Communication may be difficult—if not impossible—against a background of competing sights and sounds.

• Keep it simple. Use short sentences and plain words. As the disease progresses, yes-no questions may work best, and only one question at a time is best. Break down requests into single steps.

• Don’t interrupt. It may take longer than you expect for your loved one to process and respond. Avoid criticizing, hurrying and correcting.

• Use visual cues. Sometimes gestures or other visual cues promote better understanding than words alone. Rather than simply asking if your loved one needs to use the toilet, for example, take him or her to the toilet and point to it.

• Don’t argue. Your loved one’s reasoning and judgment will decline over time. To spare anger and agitation, don’t argue with your loved one.

• Stay calm. Even when you’re frustrated, keep your voice gentle.

Your nonverbal cues, including the tone of your voice, can send a clearer message than what you actually say.

• Communicating with your loved one may be challenging, especially as the disease progresses. Remember, however, your loved one isn’t acting this way on purpose. Don’t take it personally. Use patience and understanding to help your loved one feel safe and secure.

Preparing Presenting a

By JOHN B. EARTHMAN

Eulogy

T

he purpose of a eulogy is to acknowledge and share information about a person’s life. It is a great honor for someone to present and it’s an important part of the grieving process for the presenter, as well as the audience.

A good place to start is to make a list of thoughts and memories you’d like to share. While others might not be comfortable or able to give their own eulogy, they might find great comfort in sharing memories with you that you could incorporate into the eulogy. Things you might include are stories, quotes, expressions of love or prayers, all of which can be delivered in a serious or humorous manner depending on what you feel is appropriate.

In an effort to have the audience connected and involved in your tribute, the eulogy can be compiled from private memories that your audience might not be aware of as well as personal traits and details of the loved one that all will remember. You will want to include any accomplishments or honors no matter how big or small that were especially important to your loved one. Memories shared should always acknowledge the person in a positive manner and recognize them for who they were accurately.

Once you are ready to write the eulogy, decide on how you will begin, then pick the main thoughts and memories that you wish to share and finally determine how you will close. You need to properly introduce yourself when you begin and have a summarizing statement to share when you close. You can read from your notes, but practice giving the eulogy and change any part that does not feel like natural conversation in your own words.

Presenting a eulogy can cause great anxiety. Stopping at any time to collect your thoughts or emotions and then continuing when you are ready is understandable and acceptable. If you decide that you cannot continue, simply skip to your final statement. It is the message about the impact of your loved that is important, not the delivery, so just be yourself.

THE FIRST HOSPICE INPATIENT UNIT IN SUGAR LAND

16 STATE-OF-THE-ART, PRIVATE INPATIENT SUITES DESIGNED TO FEEL LIKE HOME ™

WHAT IS HOSPICE? Hospice is where those with a terminal illness can spend their final days in peace, dignity, and comfort, surrounded by their loved ones while living wherever they call home. We view our work as a sacred honor and our patient-focused approach hinges on creating a plan of care that is tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual and their family.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS READY FOR HOSPICE? • Frequent calls to the doctor’s office for appointments • Missing doctor office appointments because patient is too sick to make the trip • Increased Emergency Room visits and/or hospitalizations • Weight loss in the past 6 months • Decreased mobility in the past 6 months • Management of patient is focused on maintaining comfort and quality of life • Patient cannot be cured of their primary disease • Patient may or may not be home bound; however requires additional medical services to remain at home.

WHAT IS INPATIENT HOSPICE? Inpatient Hospice is the most intense level of hospice care, often times requiring IV medications with frequent adjustments and monitoring for pain and symptom management. In contrast to an acute care hospital setting, this level of care will allow patients and family members to receive care and comfort in a home-like setting.

THE ALTUS HOSPICE MISSION The Mission of Altus Hospice is to provide professional care with a personal touch.

We will treat the disease process with medical expertise while emphasizing quality living, not only physically, but also psychosocially, emotionally and spiritually.

Comfort, compassion and calming presence are the gifts we bring to this service, and we are honored to walk with the patient and loved ones through this sacred time.

FINAL PLANNING

Helping Patients and Families to Choose the Best End-of-Life Care Option Provided by Houston Solari Hospice • Educate yourself on local hospices. Your doctor or local hospitals should be able to recommend hospice providers in your area. Be sure to take note whether the hospice providers you are considering also have inpatient hospice homes in the event that pain and symptoms become unmanageable and 24-hour care is needed.

• Contact the hospices. Compile a list of potential hospices to contact. Ask whether they are accredited, certified and licensed. If accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting body, such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the hospice has sought accreditation and is committed to providing quality care. State health departments certify hospices, guaranteeing that the facility meets safety and health regulations.

Licensing requirements vary by state and are generally overseen by its respective health department.

• Ask for and check references. Ask for references from professionals, such as a hospital or community social workers. Talk with these people about their experiences. Also check with the Better Business Bureau or the State Attorney General’s office to find out whether any complaints or lawsuits have been filed against the hospices on your list.

• Inquire about a preliminary evaluation and plan of care. As part of a patient’s preliminary evaluation, a hospice should determine the types of services needed for the patient. The evaluation should contain what the patient can and can’t do for themselves, consultation with family physicians already providing the patient with medical treatment and consultation with family members.

• Discuss the treatment plan process. After the preliminary evaluation, the hospice should develop a treatment plan that is carefully created with the patient and family and given to all service providers to ensure smooth coordination of care. The plan of care should be clearly written, with copies given to all loved ones involved. The plan should list specific duties, work hours and days, and contact information for the hospice care supervisor. Inquire how frequently the plan is reviewed and updated to accommodate any changing needs.

• Learn about the hospice staff. Hospice patients are cared for by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, clergy, volunteers and therapists. Ask about the patient-to-caregiver ratios to make sure that the right amount of care is received.

Ask about the continuity of care to determine whether or not the patient will have the same caregivers. This insight can give an indication how satisfied the hospice staff is or if there is a high turnover rate.

Texas Law dictates that both birth and death certificates are deemed confidential for a set period of time. Birth certificates are confidential for 75 years, and death certificates are confidential for 25 years after the death has occurred. If a birth or death certificate is requested before this period of time elapses, certified copies of these documents can only be obtained by a qualified applicant.

A qualified applicant can be an immediate family member (by blood or marriage), a legal guardian, or the legal representative of the person for whom the document is requested. If you are not a qualified applicant, you may request a verification of a birth or death record.

182

Fees charged for copies of birth and death certificates by the different county offices may vary slightly – contact your local office about cost for copies of Birth and Death Certificates.

Certified copies of the birth and death certificates are issued with a state seal and are printed on security paper. Heirloom birth certificates have a different cost and are printed on special paper that boasts a design celebrating Texas. The heirloom certificate ($60) is only offered through Austin, Texas.

Funeral homes will supply certified copies of a death certificate for a small fee if requested at the time funeral arrangements are made.

It is recommended that you get at least twelve copies of the certificate and notify anyone with whom the deceased had an account.

VERIFICATION OF BIRTH AND DEATH The verification of a birth or death record is NOT a certified copy of the birth or death certificate, but a letter with the person’s name, date of occurrence, county where the birth or death took place and a state file number. Letters may not be available at all birth and death registrars. Verifications are available from 1903 to the present date.

Fees for birth and death verification (for regular mail or walk-in service) range from $22–$30. This fee is non-refundable for records that are not located. Additional fees will apply for faxing and overnight services.

Deceased Identity Theft To avoid identity theft of a deceased person, it is recommended that you take the following steps: • Scale back the obituary—don’t provide too much information.

• Notify banks and creditors.

• Contact credit reporting bureaus— request decedent’s credit report and flag as “deceased.”

• Report death to Social Security; they will flag decedent’s number as inactive. Also notify your local passport office, if applicable.

THE FIRST HOSPICE INPATIENT UNIT IN SUGAR LAND

16 STATE-OF-THE-ART, PRIVATE INPATIENT SUITES DESIGNED TO FEEL LIKE HOME ™

WHAT IS HOSPICE? Hospice is where those with a terminal illness can spend their final days in peace, dignity, and comfort, surrounded by their loved ones while living wherever they call home. We view our work as a sacred honor and our patient-focused approach hinges on creating a plan of care that is tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual and their family.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS READY FOR HOSPICE? • Frequent calls to the doctor’s office for appointments • Missing doctor office appointments because patient is too sick to make the trip • Increased Emergency Room visits and/or hospitalizations • Weight loss in the past 6 months • Decreased mobility in the past 6 months • Management of patient is focused on maintaining comfort and quality of life • Patient cannot be cured of their primary disease • Patient may or may not be home bound; however requires additional medical services to remain at home.

WHAT IS INPATIENT HOSPICE? Inpatient Hospice is the most intense level of hospice care, often times requiring IV medications with frequent adjustments and monitoring for pain and symptom management. In contrast to an acute care hospital setting, this level of care will allow patients and family members to receive care and comfort in a home-like setting.

THE ALTUS HOSPICE MISSION The Mission of Altus Hospice is to provide professional care with a personal touch.

We will treat the disease process with medical expertise while emphasizing quality living, not only physically, but also psychosocially, emotionally and spiritually.

Comfort, compassion and calming presence are the gifts we bring to this service, and we are honored to walk with the patient and loved ones through this sacred time.
