PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Talent Without Limits Life is full of limits: age limits, speed limits, limited offers, limited options, and the worst of all—selfimposed limits. One of the benefits of aging is seeing that these limits are often arbitrary and frequently unnecessary (except maybe the speed limits).

Find Your Decision-Making Style

Whether you plan out every minute or always wait until the last minute, there is still time to create a positive aging experience. Find your decision-making style and get ready to take the next—or the first—step. Planners Also known as “advance planners,” these older adults research alternatives and plan for retirement while they are still healthy. While everyone approaches decision making differently, planners tend to perform exhaustive research with a clear

Many people put off retirement planning because they are overwhelmed by the magnitude of the decisions or because they simply do not want to deal with the realities of aging.

goal in mind—whether that is aging in place or moving to a retirement community. Many planners eventually become second—or third— generation retirement community residents. They saw first-hand what a good experience their parents or other loved ones had at a retirement community, and they work to ensure that they can enjoy the same experience. Procrastinators They are “not ready yet.” From their perspective, retirement is years—maybe even decades—away.

Scramblers Scramblers are procrastinators without intervention. Scramblers have never thought about senior living and never discussed a plan with their loved ones. Then, one day, everything changes. After a serious injury or illness, scramblers are forced to plan during a crisis. Oftentimes, these older adults and their loved ones must make difficult and expensive choices under extreme duress. It is not uncommon for the children of a scrambler to become planners. They have seen what happens when you wait, and they want to avoid becoming a burden on their own children.

It attracts people from diverse backgrounds, who find satisfaction in using their gifts to make their home a better place to live.

White Horse Village

COVER STORY

Nancy Hopko A longtime nurse who also taught nursing at Villanova, Nancy Hopko very quickly plugged in after moving to the community. “I wanted to be engaged where I lived, and to know what was going on,” she says. This approach harks back to her high school and college days, when she valued connecting with those around her through student government. Now, she’s putting her medical experience to use as a member of the Health Services Advisory Committee. “That’s important work, because we’re tapping into how residents experience outpatient and healthcare services here,” Hopko says. She experienced the system herself when her husband spent time in the Healthcare Center, and reports they both thought the care was excellent. Hopko doesn’t stop at healthcare consultation. She’s also on the Resident Association Council, coordinates bringing guest speakers to campus, volunteers with a resident-managed currency service, and sings with the resident choir, the Village Singers. “I love to sing,” she says. She was even talked into joining the bocce league. “I am the least athletic person that ever set foot in this place,” she says, but that doesn’t matter. It’s a good way to meet people. “It’s just lovely to sit down on a fall morning and drink coffee and cheer on your teammates.” “I grew up in a small town,” Hopko says. “This is just like that. I wanted to know the people I live with.”

Bunnie Bryant & Mary Hankins The welcoming atmosphere at White Horse Village was a big draw for Bunnie Bryant and her partner Mary Hankins, and they’re working to contribute to that culture now. The rainbow icon on the website indicated this would be an accepting place, and that has been borne out, they say. “We’ve met a lot of nice people who were very welcoming,” Bunnie says. “No one blinked an eye when we came in as a married couple.” “We walked around the clubhouse, and everyone was so nice,” Mary says. “Everyone smiled and said hello, even though they hadn’t seen us before.” They value the diversity on campus. “We’re all about meeting people where they are and talking to them and learning who they are through conversation, rather than making assumptions because of labels,” Bunnie says. “We think the same has been given to us, too.” They’ve both found plenty of ways to use their talents here. Hankins, a former biology teacher, loves all things green and quickly joined the Harvesters Garden Club with its community garden plots. She also offers advice on the Landscaping committee, and has helped drive efforts for better environmental practices via the Sustainability committee, which she co-chairs. Mary also was elected to the Residents Council. Bunnie, a former English teacher, loves words, and she’s spearContinued on page 17

headed a poetry club that meets regularly to discuss poems and share their creative writing. She writes poems for various publications and events, and also writes for the monthly magazine White Horse Tales. Her participation on the IDEA committee (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Advocacy) is crucial to her desire to celebrate the diversity on campus. “The goal is to include everybody as much as possible,” Bunnie says. “There are plenty of things to do,” Mary says. “You can just sit home if you want to. But you’re drawn out here with all the opportunities. And then once you find something that you really like, you can go into it.” There’s something for a variety of tastes and talents. The art studio offers resources for painting, sculpture and more. Woodworkers have a shop with plenty of advanced tools to shape their creations. And fitness fans have ready access to a Wellness Center with exercise equipment and an indoor pool.

Bud Billups Life took Bud Billups many places before he landed at White Horse Village. He spent time in the Navy keeping an eye out for Russian submarines during the Cold War, then followed his father into the oil business, working for Exxon. Later he helped manage funds for the Glenmede Trust Company. After that, he took a position in charge of finances and operations for St. John’s College in Annapolis. While Soviet subs aren’t much of a worry at White Horse Village, Bud has been able to tap into other talents from his career. Soon after he arrived he began helping out with the Endowment Fund, now the White Horse Village Foundation, an in-house charitable organization that supports residents and team members. He’s now vice president. After dealing with hearing loss, Bud started a resource group for residents in the same situation, sharing resources and sometimes bringing in audiologists and other experts. He helps organize a Great Decisions discussion group that analyzes pressing global issues, likes to volunteer in healthcare, and has also been caught up in the bocce vortex. He values the connections these activities provide. Bocce, for example, is “a wonderful way to get to know people here. And there are some great stories. I mean, some of the people here have done some really interesting things.” The many opportunities to get involved here are often run by residents, Bud observes. While White Horse Village endorses and supports the hearing group, it is a resident project. “That’s what happens here.” There aren’t many places like White Horse Village, he reflects. An independent nonprofit, “It’s very different than most retirement communities. There are a lot of people here who have gone around and looked at a lot of places, and they end up here.” 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Among many activities on campus, residents have the chance to try their hands at sculpture, woodworking and other artistic endeavors.

Pat & Bill Hibschman They wanted a very active community, and that’s exactly what Bill and Pat Hibschman found at White Horse Village. Pat had done marketing and fundraising in the years before they moved in, and she thought she was done with all that. But now she co-chairs the annual Octofair, a fall festival featuring games, a silent auction, and other activities. (It serves as a fundraiser for the Residents Association and drew more than 750 people this year.) She’s also co-chair of the Employee Appreciation Fund campaign, which raises money to show appreciation for White Horse Village team members. Both events are among the biggest resident projects on campus each year. “I went from not wanting to do anything anymore to, look at me now,” Pat says cheerfully. For his part, Bill does a lot of work with the Residents Association, and recently helped give input into the selection of a new president & CEO. He’s very people-oriented and likes being around others. Also, “I enjoy being in leadership positions. That was what I did in my career,” he reflects. Of his activities, “Most meaningful for me is being a part of shaping the future of White Horse Village,” Bill says. He, too, has the bocce bug, captaining his neighborhood team. (If you hadn’t noticed, the game is kind of a big deal here.) “A third of the population is involved in bocce,” Bill estimates. Along with other residents, the Hibschmans point to the beautiful campus as a draw. That, and the people. “We did a lot of visiting other CCRCs and we just kept coming back because not only the property but the culture … people are wonderful here,” Pat says. White Horse Village is an active senior living community offering a full range of living options and healthcare services. To schedule a tour, call 610-675-2054 or email info@ whitehorsevillage.org.

CHOOSING A COMMUNITY

Choosing a Community 6 Key Considerations

Financially, emotionally, and from a practical perspective, choosing a continuing care retirement community (CCRC, or “life plan” community) is a big decision. Here at myLifeSite, we strive to provide information and create resources that can help seniors make a more informed decision about whether this particular senior living option is right for them, and if so, which CCRC may be a good fit. After all, this is a choice that will impact your quality of life, health, happiness, and wallet for years to come. To help make the CCRC decision process a little easier and more manageable, we have simplified the sometimes-overwhelming list of deciding factors into six key areas that consumers should evaluate when considering a CCRC. Residences and amenities When looking at a CCRC, among the easier things to assess are the physical campus and the various amenities provided by the community. I recommend you take several tours of the community’s residences,

considering different floorplans and features, and then contemplate what is important to you. Because one of the principal reasons people opt for a CCRC is the continuum of care services they offer, be sure you look at both the independent living residences, as well as the assisted living portion of the community. You want to have confidence that you will feel at home once you are settled into your new surroundings. There is also an assortment of amenities that will be provided by a CCRC, though these offerings can vary widely from community to community, from basic services to high-end conveniences. You will need to determine which are essential and which, in your opinion, are just niceto-haves. Some amenities to look for may include: technology that helps residents stay safe as well as keep up with the times; community gardens, walking trails, and manicured grounds; transportation services and planned excursions; multiple dining options like cafés and bistro-style settings; a fitness

center, pool, golf course, and tennis or pickleball courts; and concierge-style services and move-in coordinators. Contract details Generally speaking, there are five common types of CCRC contracts offered among communities: Type A (lifecare), Type B (modified), Type C (fee-for-service), Rental, and Equity/ Co-op. And when it comes to entry fees (which almost all CCRCs require), some are refundable and others are not (or are only partly refundable). Because they aren’t apples-toapples, comparing the cost of these various types of CCRC contracts, especially in different parts of the country, can be challenging. A lifecare contract in Seattle may be substantially more than a fee-forservice contract in Cleveland. Or, suppose one CCRC’s campus and facilities are older and it has fewer amenities than another community. Bottomline: It is critical that you have a thorough understanding of which contract is right for your Continued on page 22 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

particular situation, and which one you are signing. Quality of care CCRCs offer numerous attractive services and amenities for those living independently, but let’s keep sight of the primary reason for considering a CCRC: access to a continuum of care services. You want to be sure that the care services—both assisted living services as well as long-term skilled nursing care services within the onsite healthcare center—will be up to your expectations, should you one day need them. You will want to do your due diligence research on the care provided by the CCRC, and there are a number of resources you can and should explore in order to do this. If the CCRC’s healthcare facility is Medicare-certified (as opposed to private pay only), you can check out their Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rating. You also can reach out to your state’s long-term care ombudsman program to see if the CCRC has had any complaints filed. It’s wise to do some shoe-leather investigating yourself as well by visiting the healthcare center and observing how residents are being cared for, if the facilities appear clean and wellmaintained, and if the staff appears to be content. Get some first-hand reviews from the CCRC’s residents to see what their impressions have been of the care they and their fellow residents have received. Management/Operations A CCRC is home to its residents, but it is also a business, and like most businesses, CCRCs are usually only as good as their administrators. You want to ensure the CCRC you are considering is well-managed and in good financial standing. The financial viability of the community is important. Select a community that will be able to provide

residents the quality of care and services that they expect and have paid for into the future. Consider consulting with an accountant or financial professional who is wellversed in CCRC contracts and finances to ensure you will be getting what you expect and have paid for. It’s also wise to understand the leadership structure of the community; get a feel for the expertise and experience brought by members of the board, and ask if residents are involved in a leadership capacity. Financial impact If you are considering a move to a CCRC, it’s crucial that you understand exactly how it will impact your personal finances in the long-term. Since cost and contract terms vary dramatically, it can be challenging to determine on your own if you will be able to afford the cost of a CCRC over the long-haul, particularly given that different CCRCs offer different types of residency contracts. If you are comparing multiple communities, you want to be sure you are doing a true comparison of what each will cost, not just today but also in the future, so you can make an informed decision about which one is right for you. Lifestyle and wellness The concept of “lifestyle” relates to the factors that will impact your daily living experience within the community. It makes up the answer to the question, “Will I be happy and comfortable living here?” The CCRC you choose should foster your lifestyle preferences so that you can live the

life you want to live. “Lifestyle” is a highly individualized concept, so the priorities of one person may be different from another person’s, but important lifestyle-related considerations may include aspects such as lifelong learning opportunities, dining choices and meal plan flexibility, community involvement and volunteer opportunities, size and location of the CCRC, and general vitality level of the residents who live there. CCRCs are also touted for the many wellness benefits they offer their residents. In fact, a recent study found that CCRC residents are in fact happier and healthier than those who do not live in such a community. From fitness classes to continuing education to nutritious food offerings, a CCRC’s wellness programs should be designed to nurture residents’ minds, bodies, and spirts. Many communities will allow you to stay on-site for a night or two to get a feel for what it’s like to live there and the lifestyle and wellness opportunities offered by the CCRC. Making a decision There are a variety of reasons making the choice to move to a CCRC more complex than most other senior living options. This is a BIG decision; there is no denying that! However, as you explore various CCRCs and consider different contract types, these six key factors above should remain top-of-mind.

FEATURE STORY

Dunwoody Village

From fitness programs to volunteer opportunities, Dunwoody Village provides a multitude of options to keep residents engaged.

Decidedly Different Residents at Dunwoody Village create custom lifestyles

isitors to Dunwoody Village frequently remark that it just “feels different” from other communities, and it doesn’t take long to understand why. The genuine friendliness, openness and inclusivity that are an intrinsic part of the Dunwoody culture are readily apparent from the moment people walk through the front door. But Dunwoody Village doesn’t simply offer a friendly, inviting atmosphere. It offers a wide variety of activities and events that enable residents to create the lifestyle that most appeals to them, all within a continuing care retirement community that provides a sense of security for whatever the future holds. Fitness programs. Residents enjoy classes like Tai Chi, Pilates and water aerobics, but also have plenty of opportunities to frame their own fitness routine. Leading a hike around Dunwoody’s 83 acres, swimming

laps in the indoor pool, or arranging a game of pickleball are just some of the many forms of physical activity available to Dunwoody residents. Lifelong learning. Through book discussion groups or a lecture series, residents can explore new interests. Residents often serve as both teacher and student: a trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is led by a resident who has served as a docent for many years; another resident teaches crochet, not only to fellow residents, but also in Philadelphia’s Main Line communities. The floral committee welcomes new members anxious to learn new design skills. Volunteer opportunities. With thirty committees within the Dunwoody Village Residents’ Association, there are plenty of ways for residents to use their gifts and talents throughout Dunwoody and beyond. Many residents continue to volunteer with community organi-

zations. Others publish monthly newsletters, oversee the woodshop, or welcome new residents as part of the hospitality team. Socialization. Some residents arrive already knowing friends or having connections in the Village, which fosters a sense of familiarity. Others find that Dunwoody offers a refreshing sense of change – with new friends who have an array of diverse backgrounds and experiences that make the daily social exchange richly rewarding. By chatting with a neighbor over iced tea on the patio or joining a book club, residents can easily find their niche. Peace of mind. Dunwoody Village’s continuum of care and longstanding reputation for quality healthcare offers assurance that, no matter what the future holds, a resident’s needs will be met. Dunwoody’s care center includes short-term rehab, personal care, memory care, and skilled nursing. A strong sense of community. A plethora of programs and activities. A five-star rated care center.

INCLUSIVE SENIOR LIVING

Many forward-thinking senior living providers are acknowledging the diversity of their staff and clients and working to make sure everyone is cared for and respected.

Inclusive Senior Living The generation that fought for the rights of people of color and lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals is aging. While the world has undoubtedly become more inclusive since their youth, there is still work to be done. To serve all older adults, senior living communities and service providers need to be cognizant of and dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion. Increasingly, senior living providers are acknowledging the diversity of their staff and clients. These forward thinking providers are working to make sure that everyone is comfortable and respected. Our seniors and senior living providers—all of them—deserve no less. Positive Aging Sourcebook is dedicated to helping senior living providers promote diversity and inclusion. We have held numerous digital discussions on equity, inclusion and diversity in senior living to advance acceptance and expand understanding. View past conversations or join future discussions at retirementlivingsourcebook.com/ digital-discussions. LGBTQ Seniors Many of the LGBTQ seniors who are seeking senior living services today are the same individuals who struggled to come out to friends, families, and employers for decades because of fear of discrimination. Now, as they face

retirement living decisions, they are again fearful that their lifestyle will lead to discrimination or the outright refusal of services. Unlike other seniors, LGBTQ older adults are less likely to have children to help them in their later years. They may also be estranged from their families. This demographic is far more likely to rely solely on a partner or close friend for their care as they age. In 2010, a groundbreaking documentary film addressed the dilemmas of LGBTQ seniors. Gen Silent profiles six LGBTQ seniors in the Boston area. Many of them are struggling with the decision to hide their sexuality to survive the long-term health care system. Unfortunately, the seniors profiled in Gen Silent are not isolated examples. A 2018 analysis by University of Washington professor Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen concluded that unique prevention and intervention strategies needed to be developed to address the needs of queer seniors. The study noted that the number of LGBTQ seniors is expected to double to more than four million by 2030. During a recent Positive Aging digital discussion, Jennifer Marie Brown, the community relations manager at Seabury Resources for Aging, explained the historical context that drives distrust among LGBTQ seniors. “During McCarthyism, people lost their jobs, people were hounded out of a lot

of federal government positions here in the DMV, because they were gay and lesbians. And it made them even more closeted, more guarded, more suspect of being out or public about who they were,” she said. Brown continued, “As we provide services for 80-year-olds, 85-yearolds, they are very leery of the consequences of being out in a retirement community or with home health care providers. They lived a life in which it was not okay to be queer in the workplace, was not okay to be queer in a house of worship, was not okay to be queer in the PTA, was not okay to be queer anywhere.” Brown encouraged local senior care providers to seek out training and enrichment opportunities to better serve LGBTQ seniors. Some communities, including Seabury and Iona, have custom programs to serve this population. Additionally, SAGECare is an independent organization that provides training and consultation on LGBTQ aging issues to service providers. Racism in Senior Living When thinking of senior living challenges, most people focus on eliminating ageism. However, racism is a significant issue in senior living—just as it is throughout our society. Equity, inclusion and diversity are important topics that senior living providers must confront directly.

INCLUSIVE SENIOR LIVING

Inclusive Senior Living Continued from page 26

Historically, people of color have underutilized senior living services. Many senior living communities have completely homogenous populations— often all white. For senior living service providers, systemic racism and its corresponding economic disparities may prevent people of color from accessing services. There are also cultural barriers to access. Even for hospice services, which are primarily covered by Medicare and Medicaid, a recent study of utilization by race revealed that 83 percent of hospice patients in the United States are Caucasians, while African Americans represent only 8 percent, followed by Hispanics at 6.4 percent, Asians at 2 percent and Native Americans at .05 percent. People of color do not use senior living services like they could— or should. Hiring Practices Beyond utilization, one of the biggest challenges facing senior living providers seeking to promote diversity and inclusion is diversity in hiring. In senior living communities and home care agencies, frontline caregivers are disproportionately people of color, while clients are disproportionately white. Companies that are not already doing so need to actively recruit and promote people of color. Frontline caregivers should be made aware of opportunities and paths for promotion. They should be encouraged to recruit other people like them to work in the organization. They should also see themselves reflected in the management. To improve hiring practices, senior living providers can turn to local colleges. “You’ve all heard of Howard University. You’ve all heard of Morgan State. You’ve all heard of UMBC. So if you’re not doing active recruiting in those locations, then you’re not looking hard enough,” explained Cordell Martin, community relations coordinator at Tribute at Melford, an assisted living and memory care community in Bowie, Md, during a

digital discussion. “I’m talking about bringing in talented people. I’m not talking about bringing in someone just so you can say you’ve fulfilled a quota, because that’s often how it’s presented.” Discrimination by Clients During Positive Aging’s digital discussion, many of the panel members and the participants highlighted discrimination by clients, especially in the home care sector. Many caregivers, particularly those who are from foreign countries, face discrimination from clients. Caregivers may be mistreated or misjudged simply based on racist ideas. Home care workers and owners alike reported clients asking for caregivers who “didn’t have accents”

or who “looked like them.” Sambal Johnson, a caregiver with HomeCare.com, relayed her personal experience. “I’ve been discriminated against because of my name. They assume that there will be a language barrier or that I don’t know what I’m doing. But once you get in and you understand them and explain yourself to them, the majority of the people are understanding and it works out.” Companies have to support and defend their workers—to the point of removing them from uncomfortable or unsafe situations. Todd Walrath, the CEO of HomeCare.com, spoke of how he supports his frontline workers by ensuring that they know they can always refuse a client if they feel they are in danger or being discriminated against. With clients, Walrath tries to keep the focus on the qualifications of

the caregiver, instead of their race or ethnicity. Industry Actions To truly change the make-up of senior living, diversity and inclusion must become a way of life for companies. Dr. Jeffrey Ash the associate dean for diversity and inclusion at the University of Maryland School of Nursing explained that the single best way to encourage diversity in hiring practices and inclusion in employee experiences is to attach them to metrics. Dr. Ash encourages companies to add questions about diversity and discrimination to their employee and client reviews and to track the responses. To help the health care industry as a whole better address these issues, HomeCare.com established a coalition called Nurses Against Racism. The mission of the group is to unite healthcare providers to make meaningful change towards racial equity in the nursing industry. For more information or to get involved, visit NursesAgainstRacism.com. Capital Caring Health, a nonprofit provider of advanced illness, home and hospice care services throughout the Washington metropolitan area, recently established The Center for Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity to serve more minority elders who need hospice care, as well as those who need traditional medical care to remain independent in their homes. Finally, Broadmead, a senior living community near Baltimore, is engaging in a coordinated effort to recruit a more diverse resident population. Led by Jennifer Jimenez Maraña, the community’s director of diversity and inclusion, the effort focuses on promoting social justice by ensuring that the population of residents is as diverse as the caregivers. While none of these efforts can eliminate systemic racism or homophobia in the senior living sector, they are small and important steps in the right direction. They can also serve as a model for larger efforts to ensure that senior living services truly serve all seniors and that the industry presents real opportunities for care professionals. If we advance a system that serves all, we will all be better served. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

SOLO AGING

Understanding Solo Aging Solo aging is simply aging on your own. For most people, this means aging without a spouse, adult children, or other close relatives. Whether they are widowed, divorced, estranged, or never had a spouse or children, many solo agers find themselves in their 70s, 80s, and beyond without any immediate family members. Long misunderstood and misrepresented, solo aging is emerging as a desirable and increasingly popular way to age. Even for individuals who didn’t necessarily choose solo aging, it can be a positive phase of life with the right attitude and some advance planning. Who is Solo Aging for? Anyone and everyone who is over age 65 and living independently. Solo agers are making decisions on their own as they age. It is important to remember that solo aging is not just for individuals who have always been single. For instance, an older adult may become a solo ager when their spouse predeceases them. Even individuals with kids may become solo agers if their children live far away or if they are unable to be involved in aging decisions or caregiving. Joy Loverde is a senior living expert and industry veteran, as well as the author of The Complete Eldercare Planner and Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? She joined a recent Positive Aging Sourcebook Digital Discussion on solo aging. In the last decade, Joy’s focus has shifted from helping individuals care for their elderly loved ones to helping them plan for their own future. When should you start planning for solo aging? Yesterday. Or today. Or as soon as possible. Planning for solo aging is much easier and far less stressful if it is done BEFORE a crisis. Especially if you realize that your circumstances will mean that you will become a solo ager, it is important to start as early as 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Long misunderstood and misrepresented, solo aging is emerging as a desirable and increasingly popular way to age. possible to plan for the future. This includes planning for your financial, emotional, and physical well being. Solo agers need to consider how they want to live and receive care (if necessary) as they get older. They should also give serious thought to whether they want to “age in place” or move to a senior living community of some type. Aging in place means that you will be living in your current neighborhood or live in another community that is not age restricted. There are also a wide variety of senior living communities—ranging from communities where residents are fully independent but enjoy amenities to properties that provide varying levels of care for residents as needed. How do you maintain and build connections and friendships as you age? Joy explained that there are community organizations, events and clubs in every town and city— many designed specifically for older adults. With no shortage of places to meet people, you have to focus on not just meeting volumes of people, but on being a good friend and forming long-term, deep commitments. Friendships take time and perseverance, and there must be a balance of give and take. As a start, Joy recommends seeking out county and city groups for older adults run through Area Agencies on Aging. She also suggests a quick google search of “free activities” and your city or town’s name.

What do you need to be a successful solo ager? While the specific answer varies widely according to personal desires, the short answer is quite simple: a clear, actionable plan. Solo Aging has many facets including: • Location – Decide where you will age. Do you plan to age in place in your current private residence or move to a different location or senior living community? • Accessibility – If you are aging in place, does your current residence need updates or modifications to accommodate your needs as you age? • Finances – Do you have the financial means to see your plan through? Have you calculated your projected expenses? • Legal – Both financial and medical planning may require the assistance of a legal professional. You should at the very least have a power of attorney appointed to oversee your decisions and estate if you can longer do it. • Medical – Do you have any longterm health conditions you need to plan for? Do you have a strong family history of a certain condition? Have you appointed someone (friend, family, or attorney) as a medical power of attorney? • Emotional – Do you have a social safety net? What can you do to create one? Do you have relationships with your neighbors or friends close by?

AGING LIFE CARE MANAGERS

5 Things an Aging Life Care Professional™ Did Today by Heidi L. Garvis, BS, CMC® (Certified Care Manager), Aging Life Care Here’s what an Aging Life Care™ Professional (aka Geriatric Care Manager) did for you today: 1. Listened. She* listened to your concerns and began to assess your short-term and long-term needs with regard to caring for a parent. She heard that your loved one wants to age in place, but the house, the finances and her ability to care for herself has diminished. 2. Asked questions. She asked about important aspects of your life and the life of an aging loved one. How has quality of life diminished? What worries you the most? What happens when you talk about your concerns to your loved one? What motivates him/her? Who has Power of Attorney? What is the medical history? What is the financial picture? 3. Created a mutually agreeable plan of care. The Aging Life Care Professional assessed the risks and needs and created a dynamic plan of care to solve problems and monitor outcomes. She helped you select a home care company. She did a home

safety evaluation and coordinated changes. She tracked medical appointments and made sure medication management was in place. She advised you on senior living communities if desired. She made sure your loved one had purposeful and enjoyable things to do each day. 4. Gathered information and created an emergency file. She put all the pieces of information together (doctors, medications, medical history, do not resuscitate (DNR) order, family contacts, legal contacts and other documents) and told you that she would be there for you and your loved one 24/7 when they go to the doctor or hospital. She was there when you went on vacation, so you could enjoy a break. 5. Became the neutral party. She helped you and your loved one meet common goals. And most importantly, she helped you be the daughter,** instead of a harried, potentially short-tempered caregiver. * Or He **Or Son

The National Aging Network, headed by the Administration on Aging, includes 56 state Agencies on Aging, 622 Area Agencies on Aging, and more than 260 Native American aging programs. All individuals age 60 and older are eligible for services through this network. Most services are delivered on the local level by Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs). AAAs are public or private nonprofit agencies designated by a state to address the needs and concerns of all older persons at the regional and local levels. AAAs operate in specific service areas that may include a city, county, or multicounty districts. AAA is a general

term—names of local AAAs may vary. AAAs coordinate and offer services that help older adults remain in their homes or stay engaged in the community. Services vary widely, but a list of typical offerings is included below. By making a range of supports available, AAAs make it possible for older individuals to choose the services and living arrangements that suit them best. To help individuals find services, the federal government established the Eldercare Locator. The Eldercare Locator is a nationwide service that connects older Americans and their caregivers with trustworthy local

support resources. Older adults and caregivers should tap into these federal, state and local resources to get the help they need to age well or to care for an aging loved one.

See the table with information for local AAAs on the following page.

Services Provided by Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) • Adult Day Care is available for individuals who need daytime supervision. • Case Management Services are conducted by professionals who can assess needs and arrange for services to encourage continued independence. • Elder Abuse Prevention Programs provide investigative services and intervention in cases of abuse.

• Nutrition Services Programs provide home delivered meals to homebound individuals and congregate meals in specified locations in the community.

• Financial Assistance and benefit counseling is conducted by professionals.

• Respite Care provides caregivers with a much needed break from the constant care and supervision of their elderly loved one.

• Home Health Services provide needed care in the home environment.

• Senior Centers offer educational, recreational and social activities for older adults.

• Home Repair Programs help older adults complete needed repairs to avoid major problems.

• Transportation Programs can provide doorto-door transit for individuals who do not have private transportation and/or cannot use public transportation.

• Home Modification Programs provide renovations to make the home safer and more secure for individuals who choose to age in place.

• Legal Assistance is available for individuals aged 60 and older with legal problems involving government benefits, tenant rights and consumer issues.

“We’ve lived, laughed and loved in our home for more than 30 years. I never thought our own bathroom would become the source of such worry. As Bill got older, he had trouble lifting his legs over the sides of the tub, and I was afraid he would fall and hurt himself. That’s when I called P.J. Fitzpatrick Bath Solutions. Their tub to shower conversion along with their safety package, that places handrails and even a seat in the shower, took the worry out of our day. We’re not worried anymore about not being able to stay in the home where we raised our family. Thanks PJ!”

ELDER LAW

Elder Law

What is elder or special needs law? Legal issues that affect people as they age and people with special needs are growing in number. Our laws and regulations are becoming more complex, and each state has different laws. Actions taken with regard to a single matter may have unintended legal outcomes. It is important for attorneys working with seniors, people with special needs, and their families to have a broad understanding of the laws that may have an impact on a given situation to avoid future problems. Elder and Special Needs Law encompasses many different fields of law. Some of these include: • Preservation/transfer of assets seeking to avoid spousal impoverishment when one spouse enters a nursing home • Medicaid • Medicare claims and appeals

• Social Security and disability claims and appeals • Supplemental and long-term health insurance issues • Tax planning • Disability planning, including use of durable powers of attorney, living trusts, “living wills” for financial management and health care decisions, and other means of delegating management and decision-making to another in case of incompetency or incapacity • Access to health care in a managed care environment • Conservatorships and guardianships • Estate planning, including planning for the management of one’s estate during life and its disposition on death through the use of trusts, wills and other planning documents

• Probate and administration of estates • Administration and management of trusts • Long-term care placements in nursing homes and life-care communities • Nursing home issues, including questions of patients’ rights and nursing home quality • Elder abuse and fraud recovery cases • Housing issues, including discrimination and home equity conversions • Age discrimination in employment • Retirement, including public and private retirement benefits, survivor benefits and pension benefits • Health law • Mental health law.

Will the Nursing Home Take My House? By Rebecca A. Hobbs, Esquire, CELA According to Genworth’s cost of care survey, in 2021, the median cost of nursing home care in a semi-private room in Pennsylvania was $10,403 monthly ($124,836 annually) . The staggering cost of nursing home care can be financially devasting. When faced with the fear of the skyrocketing cost of long-term care, many worry that they will lose their house to pay for their nursing home care. Nursing home care is generally paid for in three different ways: (1) with the individual’s own money; (2) with a long-term care insurance policy; or (3) by qualifying for Medicaid. It is a common misconception that you must sell your house to qualify for Medicaid or that the nursing home will take your house. Although you generally do not need to sell your house to qualify for Medicaid, and the nursing home will not literally take your house, the fear of losing your house to the cost of long-term care is warranted if you do not plan ahead. Your house is not a countable resource when determining Medicaid eligibility if certain exceptions apply. One of those exceptions is if the Medicaid applicant is married and their spouse is residing in the house. When there is a spouse residing in the home, the value of the home will not be counted as an available resource for Medicaid. However, if the house is sold or if the spouse moves from the house, the protection is lost. There is a lot of misinformation on

how to protect your house. Gifting your house to your children is not the best idea. Medicaid has a five year “lookback” period. This means that any gift or transfer for less than fair market value that was made during the lookback will create a period of ineligibility known as the “penalty period.” There are circumstances where you can transfer your real estate without incurring a penalty. Some of the exemptions include when you have a disabled child or a child under a certain age. There is also an exemption when there is a child taking care of the parent in their home. Other complications with

outright-gifts include adverse tax consequences, specifically capital gains taxes due. In addition, the house is subject to your children’s life circumstances such as: divorce, lawsuits, debts, creditors, gambling, substance abuse, disability, financial mismanagement, spending habits, and distribution to the child’s spouse or others upon the child’s death. It is important to work with an elder law attorney when applying for Medicaid to make sure you are taking advantage of all the available tools to protect your assets. www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/ finances/cost-of-care.html 347 Bridge Street Suite 200 Phoenixville, PA 19460

Understanding Advance Directives Protecting patient rights An advance directive is a legal document that details medical and healthcare decisions that should be made on behalf of a patient if they are no longer able to make decisions. The document has two distinct parts. The first part, sometimes called a living will, ensures that patients receive only the life-prolonging treatments they select. Life-prolonging treatments are efforts that will not cure a terminal condition but will prolong dying. They include hydration (giving water) and nutrition (giving food) by tube, machines that breathe for you, and other kinds of medical and surgical treatment. Advance directives also allow patients to name an agent to act as their decision maker if they become incapacitated. This second part of an advance directive is often called a medical power of attorney or a durable power of attorney for health care. The person named to make decisions is a “health care agent.” What happens if I cannot give my consent for treatment? That is where an advance directive comes in. Adults can sign an advance directive to make their choices about medical treatments known in advance. If you become incapacitated, doctors or other caregivers can use this document to deliver only the medical treatments you want. Advance directives also give patients the option to appoint an agent to make decisions for them if needed. What happens if I cannot make decisions and I have no advance directive? Generally, if you don’t have an advance directive—and later you can’t speak for yourself—usually your next of kin will make health care decisions for you. Even if you want your next of kin to make decisions for you, an advance directive can make things easier for your loved ones by helping to prevent misunderstandings or arguments about your care.

The second part of an advance directive is often called a medical power of attorney or a durable power of attorney for health care. How do I select a health care agent? A health care agent can be named in an advance directive. This person has the authority to see that doctors and other health care providers give you only the type of care you want. Before naming an agent, be sure to talk with the person and confirm they are willing to accept this responsibility. Do I need a lawyer to help me make an advance directive? While you may want to consult an attorney, you do not need one to prepare either type of advance directive. To make your advance directive valid, it must be signed by you in the presence of two witnesses, who will also sign. If you name a health care agent, make sure that person is not a witness.

You should give a copy of your advance directive to your doctor, who will keep it in your medical file, and to others you trust to have it available when needed. How do I get advance directive forms? Typically, your advance directive does not have to be on any particular form. Example forms are highlighted below, but many more are available. Consumers should select one that meets their needs and reflects their values. • National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) www.nhpco.org • Aging with Dignity www.agingwithdignity.org 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Discussing Life Care Planning

When your loved one says: Can’t We Please Talk About Something Else? By Anderson Elder Law

Guardianship Designations if you have children or other dependents, a Living Trust, and a listing of all important documents and assets. Recently, some people who spend a lot of time with technology may also create a document providing for care of digital assets such as email and social media accounts, data storage, and digital photos and videos. Beyond an estate plan, Lifecare Planning also involves providing for possible healthcare situations which may arise, such as needing to arrange care for yourself or your loved ones, moving to an assisted care facility, the potential financial burden, public programs or community organizations that may be available to assist, and more. Current and expected financial assets need to be considered as well. A comprehensive Lifecare Plan should be a dynamic document that can adjust as necessary to situations as they arise.

Topics such as estate planning, lifecare planning, and related issues can be difficult to talk about for some people. It is easy to put them off for another day and move on to a lighter discussion, but the care and attention required to ensure that you have a fully operational plan that not only fulfills your needs but is able to be met based upon your unique situation deserves contemplation by you and your loved ones. If your partner or family is resistant to discussing lifecare planning, here are some suggestions for starting a productive conversation. What is Lifecare Planning? Most people have a Last Will and Testament, or some sort of document discussing what they would like to happen to their assets after death. However, there are many other documents and considerations that may be required based upon the current, expected, and possible situations of you and your loved ones. Every family is unique and requires a unique approach to Lifecare Planning. A comprehensive estate plan generally includes a Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney, and Advanced Healthcare Directive. It may also include a Letter of Intent to guide the executor of your estate, a document covering

Why Now? The best time to create a successful lifecare and estate plan is when you and your loved ones have the time, energy, and focus to carefully consider all the available options. There are many factors to consider, and discussions about lifecare, healthcare, and estate planning frequently lead to questions and thoughts that may take time to resolve. As you discuss the topic you may find that it leads to broader conversations about other

issues which may influence your situation, now or in the future, such as family dynamics, financial status, health issues, and more. Peace of Mind The question of “What if?” can be unsettling for many people. If your partner or family has been avoiding these conversations, you may be able to start by mentioning that they are helping you feel prepared and confident by planning now. Helping a loved one—you— achieve peace of mind about their future care can be a powerful motivating factor for your partner or family. Bring in a Professional If you are still facing resistance, sometimes setting up a consultation with someone experienced in lifecare planning can help to create a safe space for you and your loved ones to consider all the many factors involved. Certified Elder Law Attorneys (CELA) and community organizations can provide guidance and support, now and as situations arise in the future that require further planning or when a plan needs to be acted upon. A firm that can provide a holistic planning approach—not simply filling out a few documents, but creating an encompassing blueprint that takes into account your unique situation as well as current and future needs— can be the key to approaching these difficult conversations.

Housing Options

Accommodating a variety of needs, tastes and budgets The senior living industry can seem overwhelming, but the important thing to keep in mind is that there is a housing option perfect for every person and every situation. Start here to find it. What housing options are available and how can they help me? Active Adult communities offer high-end amenities and loads of activities for older adults who are eager to find like-minded peers. Many adults move to these communities as soon as they are age qualified and enjoy an active lifestyle. Life plan communities are also known as continuing care retirement communities. These communities generally feature care options ranging from independent living to longterm nursing care on one campus. Residents can transfer to higher levels of care as needed. For older adults who want to leave the burdens of home maintenance behind, independent living communities may be the ideal option. In addition to property upkeep, these communities also generally offer 24hour security and activities to keep residents engaged. Most independent living communities are rental properties, although some do offer the option for residents to purchase units. Individuals who need assistance with the activities of daily living may want to consider an assisted living community. In addition to daily assistance, these communities also offer activity programs to fit the interests of every resident. Assisted living communities are an important option for older adults who need some level of help on a daily basis. All of these communities offer standard services including daily meals; supervision; security; and help with the activities of daily living, or ADLs. ADLs can include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Some communities also offer help with medication management; transportation services;

and coordination of medical, health and dental treatments. Finally, whether for a short-term rehabilitation or a long-term medical stay, nursing and rehabilitation centers are a vital senior living option. Nursing and rehabilitation centers serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home. They are also ideal for short-term stays for individuals who are recovering after a surgery or an illness. How should I find a housing option? Use our research. Sourcebook features detailed articles, checklists,

featured listings and comprehensive tables in each of our specific housing sections. Use these resources to begin your search for a community that is right for you and your family. After selecting the type of community that best fits your wants, needs and budget, you should start calling individual properties to request additional information. Most communities can provide detailed brochures, helpful websites and easyto-understand financial information. Finding the right community will lead to a happier and healthier life, as well as added peace of mind for family caregivers. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Considering Retirement Living Is the lifestyle right for you? The questions below will help seniors and their families determine if a retirement living community may be the right choice for them. • Do you feel isolated in your home? • Do you find it difficult to get around your neighborhood? • Do you lack relationships with your neighbors? • Do you have difficulty driving? • Do you wish that someone else would drive you to your errands and appointments? • Do you have a hard time getting out of the house? • Do you frequently go for weeks without seeing friends? • Do you wish you had more of a social life? • Do you miss participating in favorite activities?

• Do you find it difficult to run errands alone? • Do you have a difficult time keeping up with home maintenance? • Do you find it challenging to clean your home? • Do you feel unsafe in your home or your neighborhood? • Do you find it hard to climb the stairs into or inside your home? If you answered “yes” to most of

Welcome to

the above questions, you may want to consider retirement living. However, you will also want to consider your current and future health care needs before making a final decision on the type of retirement community you should select. For instance, if you have a chronic health condition, you may want to consider an Assisted Living community, or a community that offers both Independent Living and higher levels of care on the same campus. For many seniors, Retirement living offers the perfect lifestyle— one with no home maintenance or transportation worries and with plenty of social and recreational opportunities. With a wide array of communities available locally, you are certain to find a community that offers you both the independence you desire and the security you need.

Intergenerational Programs Learning and growing together A drive to create. A desire to learn. A yearning to be understood. There is more that unites young people and older adults than divides them. By focusing on the commonalities between older adults and children and encouraging more exposure and understanding, intergenerational programs can build connections and help participants learn and grow at every age. Generations United and LeadingAge teamed up with the Retirement Research Foundation to complete Intergenerational Programming in Senior Housing: From Promise to Practice, a report detailing findings from a year-long study on intergenerational programs in senior housing. The report explains that “[i]ntergenerational practice involves bringing people together in purposeful, mutually beneficial activities that promote

greater understanding and respect between generations and contribute to building more cohesive communities.” Intergenerational programs tend to focus on shared interests and common goals. The programs typically leverage the resources that the young and the old can offer each other. Programs are designed so that both the older adults and the children or young adults stand to gain knowledge and connections. Intergenerational programs help to

reduce social isolation and increase self-esteem and wellbeing. They also help individuals better understand and appreciate people who are not the same age as them. Ultimately, the programs help to foster good will and build strong communities. According to the study, many retirement communities are incorporating intergenerational activities into their programs—and they are seeing positive results for both residents and youth. Retirement community efforts tend to focus on specific intergenerational activities to engage residents and young people, such as art or technology classes or events. The benefit of these short-term events is that they do not require a major commitment from either staff or participants. However, utilizing single events can make it harder for young people and older residents to form

HOUSING relationships. While the interaction may be positive, it is not the same as building long-term relationships. Some of the most promising programs identified by the study included tutoring and mentoring efforts. These programs allow retirement community residents to support young people by providing guidance and professional development opportunities. Mentoring programs have been particularly effective for helping youth in foster care, special education students, and English as a Second Language students. Older adults can help young people improve their language and literacy skills or run after school homework clubs for youth. While the report identified several significant challenges to implementing intergenerational programming, the benefits have the potential to far outweigh the challenges. Well-run intergenerational programs can help both older adults and young people feel more connected to their communities and more confident in their own worth and abilities.

HOUSING determines the VA’s funding annually, which impacts the number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program. The VA classifies Veterans into priority groups to ensure that limited funds are provided to higher priority Veterans first. Individuals in lower priority groups often have to pay copays for care and services.

Services for Veterans Helping those who served Individuals who have served their country in the armed forces are eligible for a wide array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits include health care services ranging from routine screenings and check-ups to longterm care. Additional benefits are also available for aging Veterans. Qualification and Enrollment Any individual who served in the active military, naval or air service and was discharged under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify

for VA health care benefits. Members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty, other than for training, and completed the full duty requirement may also be eligible for health care. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll with the VA to determine their eligibility for benefits. Only by enrolling in the VA health care system can Veterans guarantee that comprehensive services will be available when and where they are needed. The VA’s enrollment system is based on priority groups. Congress

Additional Special Benefits for Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefit Veterans and survivors who have been found eligible for a VA pension may also be eligible for Aid and Attendance benefits. VA pensions are only awarded to Veterans and their spouses who meet strict eligibility requirements and whose yearly family income is less than the amount set by Congress for qualification. Aid and Attendance benefits are paid in addition to the monthly pension. Veterans who are not eligible for a pension cannot receive these benefits. Since this allowance increases the pension amount, some veterans who were not

eligible for a basic pension because of excessive income may be eligible under these rates. To qualify for Aid and Attendance, Veterans must require the aid of another person to perform the activities of daily living, which include eating, dressing and toileting. Veterans who are bedridden may also be eligible. Patients who are living in a nursing home or who have extremely limited eyesight may qualify as well. Housebound Benefit Veterans or their surviving spouses who are confined to their homes because of permanent

Long-Term Care Benefits In addition to preventative, health maintenance and emergency care, VA benefits may also provide for longterm care in some instances. Longterm care benefits include assistance that is provided for an extended period of time to help Veterans with everyday tasks and/or provide support for managing an ongoing illness. Longterm care, as defined by the VA, may be provided in a person’s home, a community site, residential setting, or nursing home. Eligibility for services covered by the VA are determined based on a Veteran’s need for ongoing treatment, service availability in their area, financial eligibility, priority group status and insurance coverage. Long-term care services may also be covered though Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or private funds. Veterans can also call the VA at 844698-2311.

disability may be eligible for an additional Housebound benefit. The Housebound benefit is added to the monthly pension amount. Veterans must have already been determined eligible for the pension. Recipients are not eligible to receive both the Aid and Attendance benefits and the Housebound benefits at the same time. Application Process Veterans and their families may apply for benefits by submitting the required forms to the Pension Management Center that serves their state or by visiting a local benefit office. Information on centers and offices is available online at www. benefits.va.gov/benefits.

a home to better age in place. These professionals provide a multi-faceted approach to the move process, from space planning in the beginning to post-move support and advocacy. By addressing all aspects of the moving process, Senior Move Managers minimize the chaos and stress of moving. From initial planning to downsizing to the physical aspects of moving, Senior Move Managers create a comprehensive plan that includes selling or disposing of unwanted items and setting up the new residence. Many Senior Move Managers are also movers. Others work closely with a reputable local moving company to complete that aspect of the job.

Senior Real Estate Specialists are Realtors who are specially trained to manage the sale of a home for consumers over the age of 50. They bring targeted knowledge, senior experience and marketing savvy to each sale. These specialists have extensive knowledge about everything from reverse mortgages and the importance of universal design to the uses of pensions, 401k accounts and IRAs in real estate transactions. Finally, Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) are real estate professionals who have completed extensive coursework on how best to assist older adults and their families in the home buying or selling process. CSHPs understand that late-in-life moves can be more complicated and require greater physical and emotional energy than traditional moves. They are trained to help older adults navigate the complexities of moving by addressing their fears,

concerns, needs and goals. The first step in every move process should be to evaluate the current living situation and needs. Then consumers can contact the many local professionals to inquire about services and costs. Most professionals offer a diverse menu of services, ranging from full service moves to help with particular aspects of moving, buying or selling. While the moving process may never be fun, there is no longer any reason for it to be difficult. Older adults and their loved ones can now let specially trained professionals handle all the details of selling, buying and moving—from cleaning out the cluttered basement to finding the perfect new place for every piece of treasured furniture. With professional help, every move can be a smooth one. Sources: nasmm.org, seniorsrealestate.com, and seniorsrealestateinstitute.com.

ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITIES

HOUSING

Stay Surrounded With Activity Active adult communities keep residents moving For those unfamiliar with available living options, the image of the “senior community” may need a serious makeover. Many individuals still think of retirement communities as dreary “facilities” with an institutional feel. This could not be further from the truth today. Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice. In fact, individuals often choose to move into an active adult community as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. The amenity filled communities are often adjacent to golf courses or other recreational facilities.

to an on-site facility. There is also something to be said for having an elegant dining room in the community, although cooking in one’s private residence is still an option.

Gaining Independence Active adult communities often have a full range of entertainment options, and most of the costs are included in the living fees. They are ideal for retirees, but are not limited to those who have stopped working. Many residents continue to put in hours at work, while others fully explore longlost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards. This way, residents can spend more time filling their schedules with favorite hobbies and group activities, rather than tending to home-related tasks. Tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking and jogging paths, and fitness centers are among the many features generally available within the community. Instead of navigating traffic when going to the gym or beauty shop, residents can often walk a few blocks

Not Just Active, but Pro-Active Active Adult community residents say they are making the move because they want to enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle, not because of deteriorating health. Simply put, it is their choice. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several active adult residences are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. This continuum of care allows active adults to make the most of the present while planning for the future.

What to Look For You can start by requesting an information packet from every active adult community you are considering. Make sure to read it carefully, and keep them all organized in a folder or file cabinet. Once you have narrowed down your options by perusing the brochures, schedule a visit to each community. While you are there, take thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons for each one. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. If you attended college or had to consider employment in a new area, remember the criteria you used in making that decision. This is no different. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

Understanding Senior Living A glossary of key terms

Like most industries, the senior living industry is ripe with acronyms and “insider” terms that can quickly become overwhelming. Sourcebook is filled with articles that will take the mystery out of the industry. This glossary is a compilation of key terms from all of our articles to help readers quickly find—and define—terms they may hear while calling providers or performing additional research. Accreditation A seal of approval given by an independent organization to a community or service provider. Communities or providers must meet high standards set by the organization and submit to regular inspections and reviews. Active Adult Communities Communities designed for active adults who do not need healthcare services. Communities typically feature an array of amenities and are often adjacent to golf courses. Individuals must be 55 or older to move into these communities. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) Activities that are typically performed on a daily basis including eating, bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and medication management. Advance Directives Legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. These can include living wills, powers of attorney and health care proxies. They provide direction to an appointed agent to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself. Administration on Aging (AoA) An agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. AoA promotes the wellbeing of older individuals by providing services and programs designed to help them live independently in their homes and communities. Adult Day Care Facilities that offer socialization, activities and necessary supervision for seniors during the day. Assistance may also be available with the activities of daily living.

FEATURE STORY

Cornwall Manor

Home is Here By Christy Brudin

ome is a special space. It’s more than four walls and a roof. It is a feeling. Whether home is defined by the people you are with or the natural surroundings out your window, that old cliché about home being where the heart is rings true. Home may very well be where the heart is, but it’s also where the amenities, friends, and activities are, according to residents of Cornwall Manor, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in central Pennsylvania. Cornwall Manor is located on 190-acre campus ripe with history and surrounded by natural beauty. Formerly the home of the Coleman family who owned and operated the Cornwall Iron Furnace, a large iron ore furnace dating back to the 1700s, the campus features a mix of historic buildings that have been preserved and enhanced, as well as modern buildings and amenities to accommodate the lifestyle of its residents. A variety of housing and floor plan options are available, and residents can transition from independent living to personal care and nursing care, as needed. From the Mid-West to Central Pennsylvania After taking care of her ailing mother, Jo and Henry Kim knew they wanted to do things differently. “My mom got so sick, and she was isolated in Nebraska on a huge farm. It was so hard getting her to a lawyer and getting her affairs in order,” Jo said. “The whole process was difficult and sad. That really made an impression on me. I knew I didn’t want to do that to our boys.”

Jo and Henry Kim quickly discovered how friendly and welcoming Cornwall Manor can be when their neighbors pitched in to help them get settled despite a moving delay.

Henry agreed. “We knew we wanted to move to a CCRC because you already have the facilities available for the next level of care if you need it. You don’t have to search for it, and neither do your children.” When it came time to pick a

retirement community, the Kims, who have moved around quite a bit, were open to several areas. However, it was their children who drew them from the mid-West back to the East Coast. The Kims began looking at

communities in the mid-Atlantic, and they were immediately drawn to Cornwall Manor. Even before they visited the community in person, they knew that the lifestyle would appeal to them. “When we got to the campus tour at Cornwall Manor, we were already interested, but I actually questioned if the people we spoke with were planted because everyone was so happy,” Jo recalled. “We quickly learned that the people here really are that happy and welcoming.” After the moving truck with all their belongings broke down on the way from Nebraska, the Kims were amazed by the generosity of their neighbors. The community quickly pulled together air mattresses, folding

tables, and kitchen essentials, so that the Kims could “camp” in their home while waiting for the muchdelayed truck to arrive. Despite the hiccups of moving, the Kims settled in nicely. An avid singer, Henry is involved in several choral groups and a band. Jo, who prides herself on her green thumb, volunteers in

the community’s garden and at Cornwall Manor’s “Trailside” organic farm. She is also a member of the greenhouse and gardens committee. After only four months in residence at Cornwall Manor, Jo and Henry Kim are sure they made the right decision—and they feel right at home.

LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES

Life Plan Communities Offering diverse lifestyle options Life Plan Communities are properties offering a combination of living options for older adults. These communities offer an active lifestyle for residents, as well as a wide array of amenities and services. Life Plan Communities were formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). Following a two-year research and review process, a task force led by LeadingAge and Mather LifeWays, identified a new name for CCRCs that would resonate with the boomer target audience. The new name better reflects the communities and their residents— individuals who are active, engaged and focused on the future. Living options available at Life Plan Communities may include independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing services. These different levels of care are all offered

on a single campus. Residents have the option to have all their current or future healthcare needs met without ever leaving campus. Life Plan Communities afford residents endless opportunities to remain active and involved. These communities generally appeal to young, healthy older adults. Amenities vary widely but often include swimming pools, fitness centers, gardening areas, and golf courses or putting greens.

Additionally, residents have access to hundreds of clubs and activities—from art classes to yoga classes and from drama clubs to walking groups. Residents are also very involved in the operation and management of Life Plan Communities through resident boards or councils. Finally, Life Plan Communities are generally integrated into the larger community. With active residents, these communities can focus on giving back and acting as a socially responsible neighbor. Life Plan Communities give older adults the freedom and security to live active, healthy lives. They are the perfect option for individuals who want to plan ahead for future care needs, while focusing on enjoying every day. Source: lifeplancommunity.org

Understanding Contracts By Kelly Hagler You want to move to a senior living community, but that’s just the first of many decisions you’ll need to make. No matter which community you move to, you’ll have to sign a contract that stipulates the services you’ll receive and what you’ll pay—now and down the road. This guide can help you navigate the different contracts you may encounter as you embark on your search for a new home. Life plan communities, also known as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This setting is generally attractive to seniors who like to plan ahead. Life Plan Communities are most useful for seniors who can come in at the independent living level and move through higher levels of care as needed over time.

1. Type A (Life Care Agreements). According to the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited healthrelated services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements). As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a

lower entrance fee than Type A, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements). Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. “Basically, it’s pay as you go,” says Mark Herrera, vice president of skilled nursing administration and risk management at be.group. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES

Building Stronger Communities Life plan community residents seek transparency and engagement Life plan community residents want to be informed and involved in their communities. While this can make decision making more complicated for community administrators and boards, involving residents often leads to a better experience for both residents and staff. In fact, increased resident engagement is associated with improved relationships with management and greater overall satisfaction, according to a national survey from Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging. The survey concluded that to increase resident engagement and satisfaction communities should focus on greater transparency and increased application of resident input.

Key Advantages of Greater Transparency Survey respondents reported that more transparency resulted in: 91% - a greater sense of trust in management 88% - enhanced relationship between management and residents 83% - increased resident satisfaction

increasing and maintaining resident satisfaction is incorporating resident input. Residents want to be informed, and they also want to be listened to. Survey respondents suggested many different methods for successfully incorporating resident input including developing a sense of trust with residents, utilizing resident councils and committees, and providing structured processes for resident engagement. Survey respondents also recommended different approaches to addressing the disadvantages of involving residents in operational decisions. To address potential conflicts of interest, the respondents recommended establishing “guardrails,” or clear boundaries on the extent of resident input allowed. They also suggested presenting a small number of solutions for resident discussion. Despite potential drawbacks, more than 70 percent of respondents reported that resident representation on the board positively affects operations. By keeping residents informed and using their input, life plan communities can keep residents engaged—and make their communities even more engaging.

Understand Entrance Fees Knowing the options when paying for life plan communities Most life plan communities require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the life plan community to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: DECLINING SCALE REFUNDS, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this

arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. PARTIALLY REFUNDABLE entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. FULL REFUNDS offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds

INDEPENDENT LIVING

HOUSING

Independent Living Communities Providing security with no home maintenance Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or singlefamily development, except that they provide special services, including security. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events, organized gatherings and an array of clubs. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. Independent living communities

Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities.

typically offer a variety of meal plans. Residents also have the option of preparing their own meals. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services. However, some communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can

provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers. Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents purchase their units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. To learn more, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. Consumers should carefully research the independent living community options in their target areas or neighborhoods. After requesting and reviewing information from communities, prospective residents should plan on-site visits to each community they are considering.

Aﬀordable Independent Living What is available and how to qualify According to LeadingAge, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level qualifies, at a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24-hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing or low-income housing that is owned and operated by a local housing authority. To 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUD’s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. To apply for housing in a privately-owned affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privately-owned communities near you.

10 Tips for Choosing Assisted Living/Personal Care 1. Make an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions. 4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman who serves as an advocate for assisted living/personal care and nursing home residents. 7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility. 8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee. Ask what additional charges apply for services/products. 10. Choose the facility that comes closest to your needs. From The Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a national consumer education and advocacy organization. Visit www.ccal.org for more information.

living (or ADLs). Some communities may accept residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In fact, some communities may specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. A few communities serve individuals of any age with developmental disabilities. When reviewing assisted living/personal care communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have. The services and activities provided in these communities help to promote the quality of life and independence of the residents. One key offering is 24-hour supervision of the residents and the property. Resident safety and security is a priority at all assisted living /personal care communities. All communities also offer three meals a day in a group dining room. However, dining options can vary dramatically in terms of the meals available and the costs associated with meal plans. Finally, all assisted living/personal care communities offer personal care services, also known as help with the ADLs. These services include assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting. Other services and activities available at some assisted living/

personal care communities include: • Medication management, or assistance with self-administration of medicine • Coordination of services by outside health care providers • Assistance with arranging medical, health and dental care services • Social services • Transportation services • Outdoor areas for walking or gardening

• Supervision and assistance for persons with Alzheimer’s or other dementias and disabilities • Recreational and spiritual activities • Exercise and wellness programs • Laundry and linen service • Housekeeping and maintenance • Individualized services While assisted living/personal care communities do provide a high level of care, it is important to consider what is not provided at these communities before selecting one. Assisted living/ personal care communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living/personal care communities do not typically provide the level of continuous skilled nursing care found in nursing homes and hospitals. For instance, if a prospective resident needs constant care, a nursing home may be a more viable option. There is no set standard for assisted living accommodations. Therefore, options can vary greatly from one assisted living community to the next. For instance, some communities offer private rooms featuring kitchenettes and private bathrooms, while others offer shared units or shared bathrooms. Consumers must consider the prospective resident’s personal needs, financial means and personal preferences before selecting a community. Source: www.ahcancal.org

MEMORY CARE

Know the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s The Alzheimer’s Association provides the common signs Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s, a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, it is recommended you see a doctor. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s typical? Sometimes

forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What’s typical? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook. 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing

a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What’s typical? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to stream a television show. 4. Confusion with time or place People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What’s typical? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. Information from the Alzheimer’s Association website. Visit www.alz.org or call 1.800.272.3900 for information, referrals and support.

Options for Memory Care Considering a residential facility

For older adults with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, moving to a residential memory care facility may be the best option. These communities can offer varying levels of care, depending on the needs of the patient. They also offer valuable peace of mind for family members and caregivers, who may no longer be able to provide care at home. Most retirement living communities offer options for individuals with memory care needs. Before selecting a community, potential residents and their families should carefully evaluate their current and future care needs. Consumers should also familiarize themselves with the wide variety of community options available. More information about housing options is available throughout the Sourcebook. Life Plan Communities These communities provide a full range of care options from independent living to nursing care. Residents with memory care needs would generally move in while they are still healthy and progress to higher levels of care.

Assisted Living/Personal Care Assisted living facilities offer additional support for residents, including assistance with the activities of daily living. Many assisted living facilities offer services specifically designed for people with dementia. Skilled Nursing Facilities These communities offer round-the-clock care for patients. Some nursing homes have specialized units and specially trained staff to accommodate the needs of patients with dementia. Special Care Units Special Care Units, or SCUs, are also called memory care units and are designed to meet the specific needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These units are often located within other residential care options. Some of these units are locked or secured for the safety of residents. SCUs generally offer other specialized services, including highly trained staff and activities designed for individuals with varying stages of dementia.

MEMORY CARE

Choosing a Memory Care Facility Use this checklist to review options: STEP 1 – Call Facilities and Ask Questions Are families encouraged to participate in care planning? Do staff members communicate openly with families? Are families informed of changes in the resident’s condition or care needs? Is personal care and assistance provided? Is medical care provided? Is care personalized to meet specific resident needs, abilities and interests? Is the staff specifically trained in dementia care? Is there a physician and/or nurse practitioner on the premises and a registered nurse on site at all times? What is the ratio of residents to staff? Is staff equipped to handle challenging behaviors? Are planned activities scheduled, and do they actually take place? Are activities designed to meet specific needs, interests and abilities of residents?

Is physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy available? STEP 2 – Visit Facilities and Observe Do residents appear comfortable, relaxed and involved in activities? Are residents well groomed, clean and dressed appropriately? What is the rate of falls for residents?

Is the facility free of unpleasant odors? Is there indoor space available for residents to move around freely? Are both the indoor and outdoor areas safe, secure and monitored? Is there a designated family visiting area? Are the resident rooms clean and spacious? Are residents allowed to bring personal items with them, such as photos and bedding? Is the food appetizing? Is the dining area a pleasant environment? Can family and friends join residents for mealtime? Can the facility accommodate special dietary needs? Does staff provide assistance with feeding if necessary? STEP 3 – Ask More Questions and Decide Are family and friends able to participate in resident care? What is the discharge policy? Ask about any situation or condition that would lead a resident to be discharged, including behavior changes and financial circumstances. Is staff available to escort residents to the Emergency Room, if needed? Is end-of-life/hospice care available on site? Source: Information adapted from the Alzheimer’s Association.

NURSING & REHABILITATION

HOUSING

Nursing & Rehabilitation

Specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance At a nursing care center, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event. Who is Nursing Care for? These communities serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home, or as temporary facilities during a recovery period. Some residents enter a nursing care center for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness, while others enter on a more permanent basis. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private

insurance and personal assets are all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 – 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing care centers; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing care center bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and

It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. What to Look for in Nursing Care Before choosing a community, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints.

Ombudsman Programs Advocates can help residents and families A long-term care ombudsman is an advocate who strives to improve the quality of life for individuals receiving long-term care services. Ombudsmen resolve complaints against long-term care providers through counseling, negotiations and investigations. They can also provide vital information about long-term care providers to help consumers make informed decisions. Using trained volunteers, ombudsman programs make regular visits to long-term care facilities to interact with residents and staff. Finally, ombudsmen strive to educate the community about long-term care issues, train longterm care staff and consult with long-term care providers. The ombudsman program is federally mandated and located in every state. Operated by the Administration on Aging, the 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

ombudsman program has 7,734 volunteers certified to handle complaints and 1,300 paid staff. How can an ombudsman help me? An Ombudsman can offer advice on housing and help with complaint counseling, negotiations, investigations and resolutions. Ombudsmen stand with residents of long-term care communities, ensuring that their voices are heard and their complaints and concerns are addressed. For families who are searching for a nursing facility or an assisted living facility, Ombudsmen can provide vital information about facilities, services, complaint histories, inspection reports, and features to look for while searching for a community. As a consumer of long-term care, Ombudsmen can help you voice any concerns you may have

about current providers. They can also take you through the steps necessary to resolve any complaints. This generally starts with negotiation, during which the two parties sit down to discuss the concern and the Ombudsman serves as a facilitator. In many cases, both parties are able to agree to a solution. If negotiation is not successful or appropriate, Ombudsmen can launch a formal complaint investigation aimed at achieving a resolution to support the resident. Ombudsmen will accept anonymous complaints. In cases where names will be used, residents and/or their families must sign a waiver of the right to confidentiality.

Home Care

Receive assistance at home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care includes companion care, home healthcare or skilled nursing care. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of the tasks that

family members would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of companion care providers are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available. HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exercises, housekeeping,

SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed by a physician and is administered by a registered nurse. The services provided by skilled nurses include: administering injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more.

HOME CARE

Planning for Care at Home by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff

CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care Association™ Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy

If you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home. What if you become homebound? If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life Care Manager™ can help you access licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and discharge planner if you are in the hospital or a nursing facility and need to decide on and plan for services in your home once you are discharged. However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services.” You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety. Accessing services These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health

114

An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable home care agency and get important questions answered. agency certified to provide Medicarereimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospital-based organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization. Other home care services Many other care services are provided in the home but are not licensed or paid for by Medicare. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you understand what they can offer, access reputable services, and monitor them on an on-going basis.

Non-medical aides, companions and homemakers There are many types of paid care giving services available—often called non-medical aides, companions and homemakers—who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes, and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability insurance and is responsible for all employment taxes and employee bonding. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable agency and get important questions answered, such as: do they check police and driver license records; do they provide supervision; how do they handle cancellations; and how long have they been in business?

Choosing Home Care

Use these questions to interview providers: How long has this provider been serving the community? How does this provider select and train its employees? Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems? Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care? Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? Are patients involved in making care plan changes? Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights

and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient? Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints? What are the financial procedures of this provider? Does the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care? What procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week?

Medicare and Home Care Know the coverage options When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must

116

be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and

Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan.

laundry. Also not included are homedelivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care.

Assistive Technology Can Help We are all familiar with the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial advertising wearable pendants that can be pressed when a person needs help. But there is so much more available today. There are currently devices available that can visually and audibly alert individuals when it is time to take their medication. Given the fact that approximately 40 percent of nursing home admissions are the result of individuals being unable to take medication without supervision, these devices can help more seniors remain at home. Sold in varying shapes and sizes, holding large to small pills, medication management devices can beep, flash, and text patients and caregivers when it is time to take a medication or text 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

when a medication is missed. They can be purchased with monthly services to allow distant caregivers the ability to manage medications. Devices range from $299.00 to $999.00. Tracking devices are also available that allow people to be found quickly if they wander. These tracking devices can be worn as watches, placed in a shoe as an insert, worn on a belt or worn around the neck as a pendant. According to the Montgomery County Police – Project Lifesaver, it is imperative that an individual is found quickly, because for each moment lost, the search grid expands to a size that makes it almost impossible for individuals to be found. With that in mind, when choosing a tracking device, it is important to know how soon the

device will notify caregivers the person is wandering. Very few of the devices currently on the market can give an exact location. Newer models also include two-way voice communication. The assistive technology market also includes devices that can monitor health, sleep patterns and movement in the house. House sensors can monitor water leakage, movement in the bathroom, movement in and out of a bed or a chair, as well as the opening and closing of cabinets or doors. Finally, there are sensors that can turn off appliances if there has been no movement in a certain amount of time. Using the power of new technologies, caregivers can provide independent, safe living environments for their parents or other loved ones and still have peace of mind. By working with loved ones and professionals, seniors can create secure environments while aging in place.
