It’s about the people who have created a sense of community that “wraps its arms around you” and enables diverse, energized people to be themselves, try new things, and be accepted for who they are. Many remain connected and engaged with Center City just minutes away via car or the very convenient SEPTA transit options.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

PA / DE / NJ Edition — Winter/Spring 2020

READY IS RELATIVE I have had the pleasure of working with older adults, their families and industry professionals for more than 20 years. I can’t even count the amount of times I have heard the words, “Not Ready Yet.” “I’m not ready to retire yet,” older adults say at community centers. “My mom isn’t ready to move to a retirement community yet,” adult children echo at local fairs and expos. “My clients could benefit from help, but they always say they aren’t ready,” professionals explain during networking events. “I meet so many families that would be much happier if their loved one moved, but often they aren’t ready,” directors and marketing managers tell me during one-on-one meetings. So how do we get beyond not ready? We accept that ready is relative. Ready can mean needing something OR being prepared for something—not always both. Some older adults need additional help, some need more social interactions, and still others need access to amenities and activities. Other older adults are fully prepared to plan ahead for a rewarding retirement and make a move. We can help both planners and procrastinators move beyond “not ready.” At Sourcebook, we are committed to providing essential knowledge and comprehensive listings to help older adults and their families make vital decisions. Turn the page and get ready.

Foulkeways at Gwynedd

Dreams Do Come True Enter Foulkeways’ Dream Garden

By Elmer Smith

atherine, “Kitty,” Baker never got to see her dream garden. She never walked along the broad, foliage-lined paths that cut through the serene setting. She was never regaled by the birds or comforted by the soothing sounds of the gurgling fountains. The bucolic garden that was made possible by Kitty’s generosity and designed with her concerns in mind was still a dream two years ago when the longtime resident of Foulkeways at Gwynedd died just weeks short of her 100th birthday. But this is not a sad story! Those who stroll through the Dream Garden, relax on the deck that overlooks it, or view it from the window of one of the personal care apartments that border it are all living Kitty’s dream. The Dream Garden is part of the Abington House North, the new personal care community at Foulkeways. However, as staffers who enjoyed the fall foliage during an impromptu pizza

party on the deck can attest, the Dream Garden is a gift to the entire Foulkeways family. “It was meant to be interesting for any user,” said Tom McLane of McLane associates, the Scrantonbased landscape architect who was the principal designer. “But it also needed to be very easy to navigate for people who may have experienced some mental health or physical decline.” “When I spoke with Mary Knapp [Foulkeways’ health services director], she made it very clear that she wanted it to be secure but accessible to Alzheimer’s patients who crave solitude,” McLane explained. “She also wanted to make sure that it would work for people with limited vision. But her main goal was that it would be secure enough so that Alzheimer’s patients could roam around outside without a lot supervision.” Mary Knapp said the idea of a secure walking space for dementia patients who have a tendency to wander had been marinating with her since an experience she had with a

patient a few years back. “He had dementia,” Mary Knapp recalled. “He had left his personal care apartment. I was following him as he headed back. I remember thinking, ‘Why is there no secure outdoor space where he could walk without having someone like me following him?’” When she heard about Kitty Baker’s generous bequest, Mary started to connect the dots. “I went to our fund development person and asked if we could use some of those funds 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

to build a garden,” she said. “They thought it was a wonderful idea.” And that’s how Kitty Baker’s Dream Garden became the latest element in an evolving treatment protocol at Foulkeways that seeks to minimize the stigma that some patients and family members endure in secured areas. “We used to have a secure, locked community for some dementia patients. It was commonly used in the industry for patients who were a risk to wander off,” Knapp recalled. “But we felt it was 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

isolating and stigmatizing. People used to say, ‘That’s where you go when you lose it.’ We decided to have universal dementia care, so that our residents could roam anywhere on our campus, which has a very large footprint.” “The Dream Garden is part of the overall universal care initiative. It’s gated but we have the ability to use a bracelet with a sensor if a patient is a wandering risk. They can’t unlock an outside doorway or access an elevator,” Knapp explained.

Another concern, Knapp said, was that the space be safe for people who have trouble walking or have visual impairments.“The Dream Garden was a health services initiative,” she noted. “We were responsible for design and implementation. Our health services team wanted walkways that were wheelchair accessible. We wanted white pathways, which are easier to see for people with macular degeneration. No blacktop.” Continued on page 24

The wide paths of the garden make it easy for residents with mobility challenges or declining vision to enjoy a walk outside. The Dream Garden’s sculptures provide natural rest stops where residents gather.

Dreams Do Come True Continued from page 23

The Dream Garden also has no steps. The oversized deck is built flush with the path to make it accessible to walkers and wheelchairs and to prevent missteps by the visually impaired. McLane’s team of designers and landscapers managed to accommodate a range of therapeutic and security concerns without marring the aesthetics of design. To the casual observer, the space is impressive for the balance of evergreens and flowering shrubs that bloom in sequence, creating a landscape that evolves with the seasons. “We had some direction from the residents’ open space committee,” said McLane. “They wanted lots of color and the more seasonal change the better. They wanted us to use native plants as much as possible.” “We used some tall plantings as a focal point,” McLane explained. “For instance, in the middle of the first

intersection off the deck is a blue-atlas cedar. It’s a North African evergreen with bluish green leaves that are less dense than native evergreens. They allow more light to come through. It’s meant to be a striking contrast with the liriope, a purplish ground cover that grows almost like fur.” McLane went on to explain the theme of the Dream Garden’s design, which is “a journey.” He said, “We placed rest stops along the path where people can sit by the fountains or by these large, vertical sculptures. A Japanese Maple that is planted above the fountain is a main focal point that can be seen from both directions.” Even while following a theme, the design team always considered accessibility, McLane noted. “Part of the idea is that the journey comes with familiar landmarks, so it’s not confusing to people with dementia,” he said. McLane also collaborated with the Baker family, which donated three, large sculptures in addition to overseeing a personal bequest of more than $1 million, which Kitty Baker left to help offset construction of Abington House North. “We decided that we would select just three sculptures from their collec-

tion,” he recalled. “We didn’t want to turn it into a sculpture garden. They are meant to be rest stops.” The sculptures now serve as natural places to stop and smell the roses, enjoy the relaxing cadence of a waterfall or just to feel a gentle breeze on your face. “Kitty” would be pleased. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

FEATURE STORY

Beaumont at Bryn Mawr

Beaumont Retirement, A History of Sustainability

eaumont at Bryn Mawr is a nationally recognized Life Plan Community on the Main Line, the storied Philadelphia suburb in Pennsylvania. The ‘Main Line’ owes its name to the railroad line constructed during the early 19th century between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. After the Civil War, new station houses were built as stops along the line, and were given quaint Welsh and English names such as Bryn Mawr and Tredyffrin. The Pennsylvania Railroad, which owned large tracts of land, began promoting the area and offering large parcels to their senior executives to build their homes on. Financiers and captains of industry, collectively referred to as the “Railroad Barons,” followed suit and brought development and enormous affluence with them. William Liseter Austin served briefly as president and later as a board member of Baldwin Locomotive Works, an enormous enterprise supplying railroads across America and abroad. He too settled in the Bryn Mawr area, where in 1912 he built his mansion on a 67-acre parcel. Constructed and superbly decorated by the foremost woodcarvers, stone masons and muralists of the time, the Austin Mansion remains an important reminder of that gilded age.

Prohibitive to maintain as a family home by today’s standards, the Austin Mansion was saved from the wrecking ball by Arthur Wheeler, a prominent businessman and entrepreneur on the Main Line. He was able to purchase 50-acres and the Mansion in the early 1980s and began plans for a retirement community on the site. Wheeler incorporated three radical ideas into his approach. First, he decided that the historical Austin Mansion should become the centerpiece of the community as no amount of money or good intentions would ever be able to recreate its architectural splendor. Second, he favored multi-family apartment buildings in his scheme in order to minimize land use and environmental impact, allowing him to preserve 25 acres of forest and as much wetland and open space as possible. With the same foresight, he introduced 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

geothermal pumps to provide 95% of the campus with heating and cooling. Third, he put residents in charge of the non-profit he created to carry on his vision rather than entrust it to a for-profit company with outside ownership. Today the Austin Mansion houses most of the common areas, such as the dining rooms, and the beautiful Music Room continues to inspire residents and guests alike with its original Aeolian Organ and ornate ceiling murals. Telescoping out from the Mansion are two

apartment buildings, aptly named Baldwin and Austin, flanked by approximately 65 large, private villas. This land-use scheme left ample room for open, green space. The 25-acre Wheeler Woods has been designated a “Stewardship Forest” by the state of Pennsylvania and aims to improve the ecological health of the land and encourage biodiversity. Well-maintained paths and walkways wend their way through the statuesque mature trees and along a small stream, making this a quiet and relaxing outdoor spot for residents. Bordering the Woods are a scenic pond and wetlands that capture the stream and rainwater run-off to reduce potential erosion further downstream. Residents continue to carry the “green” banner at Beaumont. True to Wheeler’s concept, the resident board and its committees, including the Green Committee, work with Beaumont’s professional management team to inform the vision and priorities of the community. In this respect, Beaumont is unlike any other Life Plan Community in the United States. “It’s a pleasure to work together with residents, to 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

collaborate on projects and ideas,” said Brock Nichols, Vice President of Operations. “This is not your typical Life Plan Community. Residents here are owners in the community and they have a direct stake in its future.” From a policy perspective, residents have been instrumental in researching and lobbying for sustainable alternatives. They worked with facilities management to add permeable surfaces and water run-off storage basins (tanks were recently installed underneath the putting greens for example); to initiate a campus-wide replacement of street lamps and interior lights to LED in partnership with the local utility: to vet the best-in-class recycling contractors and organize periodic collections of e-waste and hazardous materials; to help organize the collection of bio-waste and kitchen scraps for composting; and to commit to using all-organic lawn care treatments. Dr. Richard Stephens, resident and cochairman of the Green Committee, said, “My neighbors and I at Beaumont have a wellinformed world view and are very aware of what’s happening to our climate and to our planet. That global view has driven local action; we are constantly looking for additional steps allowing us to shrink our footprint and place fewer demands on the environment. For our grandchildren and great grandchildren if not for ourselves.” But there is an immediate benefit. Seedlings carefully started in the greenhouse make their way over to the community garden once spring is in the air. Wellprepared soil ensures that a bountiful harvest of summer, fall and root vegetables finds its way into the hands of the Executive Chef and his staff for one of the many farm-to-table dinners residents can look forward to. 29

Heart Care During Cancer Treatment A condition called cardiotoxicity can occur when receiving chemotherapy and other anti-cancer drugs that weaken the heart. The most common symptoms of cardiotoxicity include shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pain and swelling of the legs. To prevent this complication during and after cancer treatment, doctors will assess a patient’s risk for cardiotoxicity. One or more risk factors—including a history of heart disease, age 65 or older, obesity, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol—could elevate the risk for cardiotoxicity. Before beginning treatment for cancer at Nazareth Hospital, a care team including a cardiologist will evaluate the heart and may perform an echocardiogram scan to detect potential damage to the heart muscle. This enhanced echocardiogram can detect preliminary signs of heart damage, so doctors can intervene

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.

Find an Elder Law Provider Use our step-by-step guide:

STEP 1 – Know Your Needs Organize and outline all the information pertinent to your situation. If you are calling on behalf of a loved one, make sure that you have as many specific details as possible. STEP 2 – Call Attorneys and Ask How long has the attorney been in practice? Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of law? How long has he or she been in this field? What percentage of his or her practice is devoted to Elder or Special Needs Law? Is there a fee for the first consultation, and if so how much is it? STEP 3 – Initial Consultation When you have found a prospective attorney, make an appointment to see him or her. After you have explained your situation, ask: What will it take to resolve it?

Are there any alternate courses of action? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? What is the estimate of the cost to resolve your problem and how long will it take? STEP 4 – Discussing Fees Do you bill weekly, monthly, or upon completion of work? Do you charge by the hour? Are there different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries? Is there a flat fee for this service? Will there be any out-of-pocket expenses (charges for copies, postage, messenger fees, court fees, deposition fees and other such costs)? STEP 5 – Make It a Good Experience Once you decide to hire an attorney, ask that your arrangement be put in writing. A positive and open relationship between an attorney and a client benefits everyone. The key is communication. Source: National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys

Elder law attorneys cater to your legal needs Since living decisions are becoming increasingly complex, many people find themselves searching for someone who can cater to their specific legal needs. Making sure that you have the right professional for the job at hand is one of the most important tasks in getting any job done the right way.

professional and/or non-legal resources that are available to help meet their needs.

What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the sometimes difficult decisions involved in one’s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients to other

Do I Need an Elder Law Attorney? Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there nonlegal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? To pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you must know your needs. If you don’t truly understand your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else. Know your own financial limitations and the financial benefits

In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably don’t need an expensive package. Be a smart consumer. Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there are attorneys who will occasionally take on pro-bono cases or will work on a contingency fee. Local law schools are good places to check for assistance as many students will help low-income or disabled individuals to practice their skills.

ELDER LAW

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late to Execute a Power of Attorney By E. Garrett Gummer, III, Esquire (CELA), Gummer Elder Law A durable power of attorney is an extremely important estate planning tool, often more important than a will. If you become incapacitated due to dementia or some other reason, this crucial document allows a person you appoint (your “attorney-in-fact” or “agent”) to act in place of you (the “principal” ) for financial purposes. The agent under the power of attorney can quickly step in and take care of your affairs. But in order to execute a power of attorney and name an agent to stand in your shoes, you need to have capacity. Regrettably, many people delay completing this vital estate planning step until it’s too late and they no longer are legally capable of doing it. What happens then? Without a durable power of attorney, no one can represent you unless a court appoints a guardian. That court process takes time and costs money, and the judge may not choose the person you would prefer. In addition, under a guardianship, the guardian may have to seek court permission to take planning steps that he or she could have implemented immediately under a simple durable power of attorney.

It is up to you who you appoint as your agent. Some persons who come to mind are your spouse, a child, another relative, or a close friend. Remember the person you choose will have substantial power over your financial and legal affairs. Therefore, it is important that your agent be responsible and trustworthy.

Because you need a third party to assess capacity and because you need to be certain that the formal legal requirements are followed, it can be risky to prepare and execute legal documents on your own without representation. To execute a durable power of attorney before it’s too late, contact your elder law attorney.

Financial Planning Tips for planning for the future Talking about money is often the third rail of family relationships. Touching on the subject can be extremely dangerous. For too many families, fear and mistrust leads to silence—and that silence can be far more risky than the dreaded money conversation. Families who do not discuss an older relative’s financial situation and lifestyle preferences may be left with fewer choices when a crisis strikes. By using some simple approaches, adult children or other loved ones can make these conversations easier and more productive. Tip #1 – Schedule the conversation. Don’t initiate an impromptu conversation about finances. Schedule the conversation and make sure that all the key players are in the room and ready to address the issues. If you need to, use technology to allow participants to be virtually present. Make sure the timing is good for your parent or other loved one and that they know they will be asked to discuss their financial situation and their vision for the future. For the initial meeting, simply focus on opening a dialogue and emphasizing that all parties want to make sure that the older adult’s wishes are clear. Tip #2 – Focus on wants/needs initially. For many families, money has been a taboo topic for decades. Instead of asking about retirement savings, accounts and liabilities at the outset, focus first on what your parent or loved one envisions for the future. Ask about how they plan to spend their later years. Ask if they have 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Families who do not discuss an older relative’s financial situation and lifestyle preferences may be left with fewer choices when a crisis strikes. thought about the “what ifs.” What if they are injured? What if one or both of them develops a long-term illness? What if they need additional care? Emphasize that you are asking these questions because you love them and want to make sure you can honor their wishes as they age. Tip #3 – Use real world examples. Everyone knows someone whose parent died with no will, leaving behind chaos and family drama. Likewise, most adult children know someone who is making difficult care decisions for a parent who didn’t plan ahead. Tell your parents these stories. Point out that you love them too much to avoid this difficult conversation. Use whatever tools you can to get them to open up and start talking. Tip #4 – Plan to continue talking. After the initial meeting, plan a follow

up that will delve more specifically into finances and future options. Do some research based on what you have learned about your loved one’s wishes. If they want to remain in their long-time home, offer them some information about what home care may cost and what repairs or modifications the home may need. If they are thinking of moving to a retirement community, help them start the research process. As far as financial planning, look into local planners who can help or schedule a meeting with an existing financial planner. Ask if you can be present, so you are more aware of the realities of their situation. This process may take several meetings, but be patient and remain focused on the end goal— avoiding a family crisis and caring for your loved ones.

ELDER LAW

Ethical Medicaid Planning By Linda M. Anderson, Esquire, CELA Is Medicaid Planning ethical? Like so many questions that arise in law, “it depends.” Medicaid planning is the process of qualifying an individual for Medicaid benefits to help pay for longterm care costs. This is only one part of an Elder Law Attorney’s practice. Many of my cases involve life transitions, such as a spouse or parent getting sick and moving to a nursing home. With these and all cases, my first question is always “who is my client?” This question is fundamental to my work because my recommendations are for the best interests of the client. Typically, the elder is my client, and my goal is to determine if my client is, in a word, safe, and receiving a level of care appropriate to their circumstances. This is not always easy to determine and may require a combination of tact, family diplomacy and uncomfortable directness. Care needs are then matched with the client’s finances. If a client cannot self-fund monthly care costs (which routinely run $10,000 a month or more in assisted living or skilled nursing facilities) then a combination of personal assets, Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and long-term care insurance will need to be considered. Qualifying for these benefits requires the elder or their advisor to be prepared to handle a tangle of state and federal benefit programs, further complicated by uncertainty surrounding proposed changes to

Helping clients to navigate this complicated framework of laws is one of the primary jobs of the Elder Law Attorney. program funding, regulations, and the structure of national healthcare and tax policies. Helping clients to navigate this complicated framework of laws is one of the primary jobs of the Elder Law Attorney. If benefit planning, including Medicaid planning, helps a client financially plan for safe and quality care in a legal way, then it is ethical. However, if I have not identified my client properly, and the benefit planning is used primarily to benefit a child or other non-client, the practice may be unethical. Medicaid is sometimes viewed as a last-resort safety net for the poorest of the poor, and there remains an underlying perception that incorporating Medicaid benefits into a long-term care plan for vulnerable families is gaming the system. But many middle-class families have worked hard

and thought that they, like their parents before them, had saved and invested enough to fund their care. They envision aging in place, only leaving their homes “feet first.” But illness or a decline in the ability to care for themselves can force them into the staggering reality of many thousands of dollars in monthly costs for nursing care. Attorneys need to be conversant in the full range of funding options available. It important to realize that including Medicaid funding in a longterm care plan does not necessarily require their client to become destitute and move to a nursing home. In cases with one spouse in a nursing home and one at home, a proper Medicaid plan is often the safety net that keeps the lights on. Medicaid planning has become a necessary part of navigating the Continuum of Care for many middle-class families.

HOUSING

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? SMART lifestyle communities are not senior living properties. They are unique housing options that offer excellent locations, lots of amenities and none of the stigma that is too often associated with senior living communities. 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 24-hour 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 easy-to-understand financial information. If the thought of moving and downsizing is overwhelming, there are professionals available to help with every step of the process. Please see our moving and downsizing section. 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

MOVING & DOWNSIZING

HOUSING

Moving and Downsizing Professional help can make moving easy Moving can be a daunting task— no matter what your age—but it can be even more overwhelming for older adults who may be leaving a home they have lived in for decades. Luckily, the enormous growth in the senior population has led to the development of a wide variety of professional moving and real estate services designed specifically to help older adults and their families. Senior Move Managers®, Senior Real Estate Specialists®, and Certified Senior Housing Professionals are just a few of the professionals who are specially trained to help seniors with all the challenges of moving and downsizing. Senior Move Managers assist older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They can also help families who wish to declutter or reorganize 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.

There are a wide variety of professional moving and real estate services designed specifically to help older adults and their families. Most professionals offer a diverse menu of services, ranging from full service moves to help with particular aspects of moving, buying or selling. Use the checklist on the following page to interview professionals and carefully document their answers. Using this information, it will be simple to choose the right professional for the job.

With professional help, every move can be a smooth one. Sources: nasmm.org, https://sres.realtor, and seniorsrealestateinstitute.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 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.

Ways to Live With Purpose Contribute and find meaning Most people want to live with purposeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to make a difference, to leave an impact. Research from the Stanford Graduate School of Education and Encore.org suggests that older adults increasingly are committed to making a difference during their retirement years. The study found that 34 million people over age 50 in the United States prioritize purpose beyond themselves on a daily basis. This means they find meaning in their lives by contributing to their communities. Increasingly, active and engaged older adults want much more than a rocking chair or a beach chair to look forward to in retirement. While some retirees have always dreamed of their eventual volunteer position, others are unsure how to give back and find purpose. How do you find your purpose?

Tell your family, friends and neighbors that you are interested in volunteering. Ask about any volunteer work they may already be doing. 3. Use professional connections. If you belong to any professional associations, ask if they have pro bono opportunities. This is a great way to use your skills and give back. 1. Use your interests.

Special Benefits for Veterans Veterans and their families may be eligible for an array of benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Many benefits are offered to low-income, wartime Veterans specifically. 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 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. Applications should include evidence showing that the applicant needs this benefit, which may include hospital records or a doctor’s report, and the required form completed by a doctor. Nursing home residents will need to complete an additional form about their living situation. For more information, visit www.benefits.va.gov.

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

Most common intergenerational activities: Friendly Visiting ��27% Arts ��24% Health/Wellness �� 18% Oral History/Reminiscence Interviewing �� 16% Language/Literacy �� 15%

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 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.

Get Involved and Reap Rewards Volunteering helps residents, families and communities Most parents are involved to some degree in the parent teacher organizations at their children’s schools. The same concept applies for senior living. When your loved one moves to a retirement community, you should make it a priority to become a part of that community. Volunteering is a great way to get involved. Give freely of your time and your talents, and you and your loved will certainly reap the rewards. Much like schools, senior living communities welcome volunteers from the larger community. They are especially keen to get residents’ family members involved. Volunteers often engage in friendly visiting or help out with special events or fundraising activities. Some volunteers lead discussion groups, accompany residents for walks or share a special talent. Most communities are open to ideas for potential volunteer assistance. Benefits for Residents According to “The Benefits of Volunteering at a Senior Living Community,” by Marissa Salvesen, volunteers are essential to the operation of senior living communities and the well being of residents. “Volunteers can offer much-needed time and assistance, such as helping a resident organize a closet, writing cards or notes, or recording a resident’s life story; all tasks that can help families with the responsibilities

When your loved one moves to a retirement community, you should make it a priority to become a part of that community. Volunteering is a great way to get involved. of caregiving, providing them peace of mind,” Salvesen explained. Family volunteers are particularly beneficial because they are familiar with the challenges that residents might face. By giving just a few hours of time, family members can help their loved one and other residents. Becoming a part of your loved one’s senior living community will help your loved one adjust quicker to their environment and feel

more connected. Adding a regular volunteer shift to your schedule will let your loved one know that you are committed to their community and enjoy spending time with their friends.

Sample Volunteer Opportunities

to your older relative and their home. In addition, volunteers gain valuable experience with caregiving and learn a lot about life and our country’s shared history. Finally, family members who volunteer will gain greater peace of mind, knowing that their loved one is in a positive environment. Young adults and even children should also be involved in volunteering at a loved one’s community. Volunteering will help young people stay connected with their older relatives and form relationships with other older adults. Younger volunteers will learn the importance of giving back and gain an understanding of different generations. Whether your loved one is preparing to move, or has been a senior living resident for decades, it is never too early or too late to get involved. Contact your loved one’s community today to ask about volunteer opportunities.

Using Music Therapy Songs soothe and support Music brings back memories and transports listeners. Whether it is show tunes or pop tunes, music helps people connect. For older adults who are struggling with long-term illnesses, music can provide comfort and foster connections. What is Music Therapy? Music therapy is the use of music to connect with patients through oneon-one and group activities. Music therapy can be used to treat anxiety, depression, memory loss, chronic pain and a host of other conditions. Used in coordination with medication and other therapies, music therapy can help patients heal or better cope with chronic conditions. Music therapy interventions vary widely and can include passive listening on electronic devices, active participation in sing-a-longs

or chorus groups, and attending performances. All music therapy programs are designed to help patients achieve their best possible quality of life. How is Music Therapy Used? Research has long linked music to areas of the brain that control memory, emotions and movement. In nursing and rehabilitation centers and assisted living communities, music therapy is used to help residents

remain engaged, ease agitation and depression, encourage movement and improve memory. Individuals with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or other movement disorders can realize improvements in coordination and range of motion with consistent participation in music therapy. For residents with dementia or Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, music can help to improve communication and enhance memory. It is not uncommon for residents who are otherwise nonverbal to sing every word of a favorite song. Music is easily accessible, and it can help improve a wide variety of conditions. The love of music transcends time, age, and physical and mental limitations. That is why senior living communities are increasingly turning up the tunes and investing in music therapy.

SMART LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES

Smart Lifestyle Communities Great locations, excellent amenities, no age limits SMART Lifestyle Communities are not senior living properties. They are unique housing options that offer excellent locations, lots of amenities and none of the stigma that is too often associated with senior living communities. Sourcebook coined the term SMART Lifestyle Communities to identify the many existing properties that offer the locations and amenities we know our readers want. The fact that these properties cater to residents of all ages and abilities makes them even more appealing to many of our readers. For decades, Sourcebook readers have said, “I’m not ready yet” when faced with retirement living decisions. This is especially true when it comes to choosing a senior living community. Often, older adults hesitate to make vital decisions because of the stigma they attach to the senior living industry. We know this stigma is not accurate, but it persists. While SMART Lifestyle Communities are easy to love, they can be hard to find. Older adults can research communities that are near mass transit options, including subways and bus lines. Potential residents should also look for properties that are in walkable

communities. WalkScore.com is a valuable source of information for individuals interested in SMART Lifestyle communities. Once older adults have located communities with potential, they should visit individual properties to learn more about amenities, activities and lifestyle. Talking with current residents and staff is a great way to get a sense of the level of community engagement. With a little luck and a little research, older adults can retire the smart way—to a community they will love for years to come. If you are interested in SMART

Consider a SMART Lifestyle Community Things to think about:

Location matters. Leaving a long-time home can be hard. Moving to a great neighborhood can make it easier. Consider properties that are near grocery stores, shops, restaurants, friends and activities you enjoy. Try to focus on the new conveniences and positive aspects of the neighborhood you are researching. What. How. Who. Make a list of everything that is important to you. What do you like to do? How do you like to live? What types of people do

you like to be around? What type of space do you prefer? What hobbies do you participate in or want to take up? The more extensive the list, the better. Lifestyle matters. It’s easy to focus on real estate and square footage, but lifestyle is more important. Focus on the people who live in your potential new neighborhood. Visit during different times of the day. Approach friendly faces and ask them how they like living there.

Staff matters. Many apartment buildings and condos have staff members who help residents make connections. They may organize regular gatherings and events on site. This is not always a “concierge;” it can be a good manager or other motivated staff member. Ask about activities and events when you tour apartments and condos. Bring a list of your hobbies and interests, and ask the staff if there might be others in the building who enjoy the same things. 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.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. 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. 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 long-lost hobbies or new interests. Homes in these communities are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards. This way, 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Active Adult communities seek to meet the needs of Baby Boomers by providing environments in which individuals can enjoy the many amenities of a community lifestyle.

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 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. 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.

Independent living you can depend on.

It’s an age when we’re living longer and looking to live life to the fullest.

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

LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES

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

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 health-related 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.

Before Signing a Contract 1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Spend time with your trusted financial adviser. “Your biggest pitfall is not understanding how health care, especially Medicare, works in our country,” says Daniel S. Ogus, executive vice president and chief operating officer at be.group. “How much money do you have and how much will you need? Understand what benefits you’re getting from Medicare as well as your retirement packages.” 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. 3. Understand services covered. Asking about guaranteed services 800-394-9990 | retirementlivingsourcebook.com

Joining a life plan community is a serious investment. Consult with your trusted financial adviser. will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a Life Plan Community contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit Life Plan

Communities offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources. 6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the right to be represented on boards. “It’s collaborative management,” says Herrera. “Many communities are managed with a lot of advice from residents.” 7. Determine what role your family will play. “We can’t share information with children if the resident doesn’t give us permission to do so,” says Ogus. “If a resident has a condition change, we hope he or she will allow us to share with one of their adult children.” Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works.

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

In addition to providing more They also feature time for residents to information, the other key to

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.

ASSISTED LIVING/PERSONAL CARE

HOUSING

Assisted Living/Personal Care Offering needed assistance and rewarding activities Assisted living/personal care communities—frequently known as Personal Care Communities in Pennsylvania—offer a vital option for older adults who need some assistance with daily living. While the specific amenities will vary, all assisted living/personal care communities offer basic services including meals, supervision, security and help with personal care needs. For many residents, the help available at an assisted living/personal care community can allow them to continue to live their best life. In most states, assisted living/ personal care communities are registered, licensed or certified by an appropriate department or agency of the state that has a process for issuance of initial licenses and for renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers.

Residents of assisted living/ personal care communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic activities, frequently called the activities of daily 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 selfadministration of medicine • Coordination of services by outside health care providers Continued on page 106

WHAT DOES

COMMUNITY MEAN TO YOU?

COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS “PEOPLE WITH COMMON INTERESTS LIVING TOGETHER.”

We believe those common interests include security, comfort and socialization with peers. Visit our community and see how much you have in common with our residents. call today for your personal tour! 814-634-0567 www.rarl-bgf.org

Is the staff screened and evaluated for their ability to work with older adults in the assisted living setting? Does the community have its most recent survey results posted or displayed for families to review? Are staff trained and retrained at regular intervals? Are housekeeping and laundry provided? Are transportation services available?

DINING SERVICES

FEES AND COSTS

What services are included in the monthly fee? What services are available for an additional fee? What are the fees? How often do resident rate increases occur? How much notice do residents receive prior to a rate increase?

ACTIVITIES AND 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.

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.

MEMORY CARE

SPECIALIZED 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 record 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.

MEMORY CARE

Options for Memory Care Considering a residential facility For older adults with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 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 roundthe-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 Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

NURSING & REHABILITATION

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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. Administered by the Administration on Aging, the

114

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.

AGING IN PLACE

Aging in Place Options Choices for remaining at home Never want to move? Want to receive the care and support you need in the home you love? Whether you are committed to remaining in your long-time family home or an amenity rich apartment community, there are plenty of options for aging in place. Start here to find them all. What aging in place options are available and how can they help me? Homesharing is the practice of older adults renting extra rooms in their homes to supplement their income. Homeowners benefit from the additional social contact that a roommate can provide. They may also receive assistance with chores in exchange for a reduced rent. Home care is a large and diverse field. The basic home care options include companion care, home healthcare and skilled nursing care. Companion caregivers serve as surrogate family members and may offer assistance including meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation and help with exercising. Home healthcare providers help older adults perform the activities of daily living they are no longer able to complete alone. These may include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Home healthcare providers may also offer some companion care services. Skilled nursing services are prescribed by a physician and delivered by a registered nurse. This type of care may include administering injections or medications, wound care, catheter care, respiratory therapy, or other medical tasks. Adult day care centers offer a variety of programs and amenities for older adults who need care and social opportunities during the day. Many providers offer assistance with the activities of daily living including eating, walking, toileting and medication management. They also generally offer a diverse schedule of activities including exercise programs.

HOMESHARING

AGING IN PLACE

Homesharing

Homeowners and renters can share, save and socialize “Sharing is caring.” The phrase that is common in preschools also applies to many other situations. With the sharing economy now in full swing, sharing is not just caring; it is decidedly trendy. It is no surprise that the sharing economy is now making its way into the senior living industry. A system in which people share goods and services in exchange for money, the most obvious example of a sharing economy is Uber, which allows riders to pay drivers for transportation. Sharing economies often utilize online platforms to make the exchanges seamless and to eliminate the need for cash. For seniors, the sharing economy now presents the opportunity to share their homes and earn extra money (or find affordable rent), enjoy compatible roommates and avoid isolation. Enter homesharing.

Using existing connections or online platforms to find a housemate, homeowners can share the unused rooms in their homes—gaining income and companionship.

This arrangement can make living independently easier for older adults—and allow them to remain in their homes longer. Homesharers also benefit from the added security that comes with having another adult in the home. If there is an accident or an emergency, there is someone available to help immediately. How do homeowners find roommates? Older adults may find roommates using existing connections. Anyone interested in homesharing should first talk to friends and family members.

These platforms are specially designed to match homeowners with potential renters and are safe and easy to use. One platform that particularly caters to seniors, baby boomers, empty nesters and other older adults is Silvernest. Silvernest uses a proprietary matching tool to help older adults find the perfect roommate. The platform also features resources including ID verification,

background screening, electronic rent payments and lease generation. How do renters find homes to share? Potential renters should also inform their friends and family that they are looking for a room to rent—and that they are open to living with an older adult. Renters can also use online sharing platforms to find available rooms in their area by searching based on their location and budget. While Silvernest caters to homeowners who are 50+, the platform can help anyone find a rental property. Silvernest renters range in age from 20s to 80s. The platform also includes secure messaging, so potential housemates can learn more about one another and determine the homesharing arrangement that works best for them.

Is Homesharing Right for You? Use this checklist to decide: HOMEOWNERS Do you need extra money? Do you have extra space in your home that is currently unused? This could be a separate apartment, a complete floor, a bedroom and bathroom, or just a bedroom. Are you comfortable sharing your common areas? Do you feel isolated in your home? Would you like additional companionship? Do you need help with basic household chores? Would you be willing to offer reduced rent to someone who could perform these tasks for you? Do you feel scared or uncomfortable being alone in your home? Do you want to expand your social circle?

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 oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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,

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 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

Your doctor must prescribe medical care at home and create a care plan. and you must 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 laundry. Also not included are home-delivered 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.

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

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?

HOSPICE CARE

SPECIALIZED CARE

Hospice Care

Improving the quality of life remaining A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice. How Do I Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or in-patient hospice residential settings. What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary. If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible,

Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life. hospice providers can offer shortterm inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals. How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers or prepaid health plans. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the

Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little out-of-pocket expense.” To receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certifying that they are choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits. Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. In addition to Medicare’s coverage, hospice services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites. For more information, see www.caringinfo.org or the information on hospice care at www. cancer.org.
