LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER / CONTACT INFORMATION

DEAR SENIORS, PROFESSIONALS, AND FRIENDS OF THE SENIORS BLUE BOOK:

Welcome to the 2018-2019 Seniors Blue Book for Colorado Springs!

The guide you hold in your hand is a complete book of resources designed for seniors, their caregivers, and the respected professionals of El Paso and Teller counties.

We have worked diligently to provide you with the most comprehensive and up to date resources to help our seniors and their caregivers make educated decisions regarding optimal living and healthy aging.

Should you find yourself searching for senior housing options, care at home, hospice, or memory care, be sure to review our comprehensive comparison grids. In those grids, you will find communities and agencies listed and displayed with specific amenities and services, so that you can select the most appropriate option for your situation. Remember, you always have the right to choose!

This edition features over 10 articles contributed by local experts on a myriad of relevant topics our seniors and healthcare

providers have requested. These include: tips for caregivers, finding senior housing, several Elder Law topics, Veterans Benefits, and so much more. See the article index on page 9. Our front cover features Guerra Dental. Dr Guerra and his staff are dedicated to helping seniors maintain healthy smiles.

They offer an array of anti aging dentistry, and a ride to and from appointments!

In addition to our print edition, be sure to look at our newly updated website, seniorsbluebook.com/local/Coloradosprings.

What Caregivers Want Being a family caregiver is not an You to Know easy task. There are numerous physical, emotional, spiritual and financial challenges in caring for an older family member. Family caregivers will spend on average 4 to 5 years of their life caring for their loved one.

It’s a long, hard, tough job caring for a family member. Many family caregivers report their health has gotten worse since they became a caregiver. Elderly caregivers have a 63% higher mortality rate than their non-caregiving peers. Thirty five percent of family caregivers are depressed which is twice the national average.

Why is this important to know?

Because non-caregiving peers say things that sound helpful but are really hurtful. Comments like, “You’re so lucky to be able to care for your mom/dad.” “It’ll get better once they get used to living in your house.

Just give it some time.” “I don’t know how you do it.”

They don’t feel blessed or lucky because mom is always screaming at them. Dad is constantly fighting the help the caregiver is trying to provide. Many caregivers are in survival mode constantly going from one appointment to another. Many are hanging on by their fingertips struggling to figure out how to keep from getting fired at work or carving out time for their own kids.

In a recent focus group here in Colorado Springs family caregiv-

12 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

ers were asked what they wanted non-caregivers to know about caregiving. One caregiver said; “Having to drop what you’re doing in order to care for your loved one is frequent and very frustrating.” Another said; “People don’t understand how much it takes to care for a family member.

A 3rd caregiver said; “What about me? Everyone asks about the care receiver. No one asks about me!”

Many caregivers feel invisible, isolated and alone. What they need is your support. Not your verbal support but concrete physical help.

Ask what kind of physical help they need and then offer your valuable time to complete that task for them.

It may not seem like much but it may be the difference between life and death for that caregiver. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted

Oral DNA and Laser Periodontal Therapy: The Most Effective Periodontal, or gum disease, is an infection of the supportWay to Treat ing tissues and bone which Periodontal Disease hold the teeth in place.

Generally affecting adults in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, periodontal diseases are caused due to a number of reasons such as poor oral health, genetic susceptibility, chronic illnesses like diabetes, smoking, and certain medications.

This infection can also contribute to heart disease, diabetes, premature aging, and weight gain.

The infection continues to circulate throughout the body via the blood system and affects every major organ in the body, 24 hours a day!

Treatment for Periodontal Disease used to consist of but one way, scaling and root planning, as well as invasive surgery. In addition, the dentist had no idea which type(s) of bacteria may be present.

Oral DNA and Laser Periodontal Therapy is a less traumatic and much more effective procedure to treat Periodontal Disease. The Oral DNA identifies exactly which type(s) of bacteria are actively causing the infection. Based on the results, we

20 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

are able to prescribe the proper antibiotics targeting those bacteria. We then utilize the Laser to access the infected pockets and to treat the infected tissue. Laser treatment is more comfortable and evidence suggests that it helps to stimulate regeneration of tissue.

A topical antibiotic, which is effective for 3 weeks, is placed in the clean pocket. With proper home care and regular visits to the dentist, your Periodontal Disease can be treated and allows you to maintain teeth for the rest of your life, as well as improve the health of your entire body. It is a fact that the continual bombardment of your body with the infection and inflammation of Periodontal Disease, is devastating to all of your organs. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Couchman Center for Complete Dentistry.

COVER STORY

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Anti-Aging Dentistry is Your First Step When Bob and Patty came to Guerra Towards Improving Dental they found an office that was Your Smile compassionate and eager to help.

Being a nationally recognized speaker, Bob Linden knows the value of a great smile. He and his wife Patty have always taken care of their teeth, but like many people, their smiles had started to age. When Patty discovered that she needed a new dentist, she and Bob went searching for the right fit for their dental health. Being a retired Air Force Veteran, Bob sought out the best care he could find from the former head of the Air Force Academy Dental Services, Dr. Fred Guerra.

Bob and Patty explained their situation to Dr. Guerra and started the process of restoring their smiles.

Patty needed some crowns, bonding and a bridge which were caused by normal wear and tear that happens over the years. With Patty’s results being so positive, Bob made the decision to have Invisalign to enhance and straighten his already infectious smile. Bob wore Invisalign for about a year and his smile was straightened and perfected. And, to make his smile even better, Bob decided to have his smile whitened with Dr. Guerra’s Brite White system. Now his smile is just as radiant as his personality.

Aging smiles can be made more attractive and healthier with state of the art dentistry As the years pass, the stresses put on your teeth take their toll. With

24 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

age, your smile can lose vibrancy due to discoloration, tooth loss and more.

Gravity and aging make our lower face shrink and sink in, resulting in less of our upper teeth showing as we speak or smile.

The Good News There is good news for those of us over 50. With the latest advances in dentistry, your smile can look as young and vibrant as you feel.

Dental implants to replace missing teeth help to ensure bone loss is kept to a minimum, Invisalign or other orthodontia can move your teeth back into place and help support your lip reducing the wrinkles around your mouth and lips, hightech teeth whitening procedures can give your teeth the natural whiteness you desire and this is just the beginning. Connecting with a dentist who focuses on anti-aging dentistry is your first step towards improving your smile. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Dr Fred Guerra, a dentist with Guerra Dental and may be reached at 719-596-1230 or by email at office@ guerradental.com.

Age Friendly Colorado Springs In March 2016, Colorado Springs Midway Update became an Age Friendly City, a designation through AARP and the World Health Organization.

Mayor Suthers appointed Innovations in Aging Collaborative to administer the Age Friendly Colorado Springs Plan. Since becoming an Age Friendly City, Innovations in Aging Collaborative worked to convene 26 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

the community and establish partnerships to accomplish the actions items within the Age Friendly Action Plan and to improve the community for people of all ages. The AARP Age Friendly cycle is a five-year time-period, and Innovations in Aging Collaborative is now at the mid-point in our Age Friendly plan.

Age Friendly Colorado Springs continued As of Fall 2018, the organization is 49% complete with our Age Friendly Colorado Springs Plan. This percent is determined based on the progress or completion of the 150 plus action items within the Age Friendly Plan.

Over the past two and a half years, Innovations in Aging Collaborative incubated and fostered several major programs to improve the lives of older adults in Colorado Springs. n

I nnovations in Aging partnered with the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado to create the Age Friendly Business Designation in 2016. This designation allows older adults to easily access a list of business which are dedicated to serving people of all ages and mobilities.

– Over 100 businesses were certified as Age Friendly in Colorado Springs I n 2015, Innovations in Aging partnered with Silver Key Senior Services, the UCCS Aging Center, and the Area Agency on Aging to create the Silver Key Senior Outreach Services (SOS) Program.

This program works to identify older adults who may need support before a serious crisis develops and connects them to mental health and case management services.

– More than 300 clients served by the SOS program since Summer 2018 I n Spring 2017, City Council approved the Colorado Springs Commission on Aging, following

advocacy efforts by Innovations in Aging. The Commission on Aging is a body dedicated to advocating for older adults in the municipal government of Colorado Springs.

Powers of Attorney Powers of Attorney are the most underrated legal documents. It seems to be common knowledge that “everyone needs a Will” but many people don’t know that Powers of Attorney are even more important for the majority of people.

Without a Will your estate will usually be divided among your decedents under Colorado law… just like the vast majority of all Wills say.

While a Will only takes effect after death, Powers of Attorney cover you while you’re unable to act on your own behalf. Dementia is a common cause of incapacity but so are strokes and car accidents. If you’ve driven in Colorado Springs you know that you could have an accident any day, at any age.

Once an individual has lost capacity to act on his or her own behalf someone else needs to act for him or her. Otherwise, bills cannot be paid, contracts cannot be signed, and medical decisions cannot be made.

Executing Powers of Attorney are the way to plan for your incapacity now, while you are still able.

Powers of Attorney allow you to nominate an agent or co-agents to make decisions for you in the event of your incapacity. A backup

28 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

or co-agent is often nominated as well. Powers of Attorney come in two self-explanatory flavors; Medical and Financial (also known as durable).

If you didn’t execute Powers of Attorney before becoming incapacitated, the only way to appoint someone to act on your behalf is through the court. This can cost thousands of dollars and take months.

Powers of Attorney don’t typically expire but they do get stale. They should be less than ten years old; five if you’re over 80. Even if you choose not to do a full estate plan, start with Powers of Attorney and know that you’ve planned for the worst even though the hope is you’ll never need to use them. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ryan N.

No One Plans to Fail No one wakes up in the morning with a deliberate plan to fail, but I do believe many of us plan for failure by simply procrastinating because while we all know we will die it all seems so far off.

Unfortunately, too often the unexpected arises, and families are left scrambling to figure out what to do for those they love. When my mother’s health became such that my father had to place her in long-term care I remember telling him how much the planning to care for her might cost. He told then he would gladly pay more than that for the problem to just go away.

My parents had basic estate planning in place, but what they did not have was a plan for life and a plan for death. What is a plan for life? Well, it involves basic estate planning such as a will and powers of attorney, but it also includes contingency planning for the unexpected. For example, what is the plan if one spouse needs long-term care and the other does not? What happens if both require it? What happens if one spouse is in long-term care and the stay at home

30 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

spouse dies. What happens if in a situation such as the ones I’ve named the families are blended; who makes what decisions for whom?

A plan for death is easier, but often neglected. We found out at my mother’s death that we did not have the first idea how to have my mom interred in the local VA cemetery, and we had to wade through a lot of misinformation until we got the right information.

What to do then? Plan for the unexpected. Consult with the necessary professionals today so that the unexpected does not catch you unawares. The decisions you make today will affect your family tomorrow; help them to enact your wishes by giving them the tools they need to implement your plans for both life and death. The problems will not just go away. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by William H. Moller, Attorney and Counselor at Law, The Moller Law Group, LLC.

Taxable Social Security Benefits Some taxpayers have to pay federal income taxes on their Social Security benefits.

This usually happens only if they have other substantial income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return) in addition to Social Security benefits.

Taxable Benefits: To determine the amount of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits that may be taxable, taxpayers must compare the base amount with the total of: 1) O ne-half of the benefits received, plus 2) All other income, including tax-exempt interest.

Caregiving & Compassionate You may be a spouse, a neighbor, or Conversations a sibling. If you are reading this, you may also be a Caregiver.

As someone faced with the challenges of caregiving, you might one day also be faced with tough conversations with those you are caring for.

You may be noticing that a loved one is not eating well, failing to take medications or a change in how the home is kept. You may also see cognitive changes such as dementia causing concern.

If there comes a time that an individual’s care will grow beyond what you yourself are capable of doing, this is the time to reach out and educate yourself on options available; from help at home with household chores, additional medical care or

possibly assisted living options.

Change can be a scary proposition, and having a compassionate ear will go a long way towards ensuring your senior has the time and information to make safe and appropriate decisions about their future.

Starting the conversation can be as easy as “Dad I am concerned about (fill in the blank)”. Start those conversations before a crisis strikes, you will be glad you did. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Laura Cooley, CSA, the local owner and Certified Senior Advisor for Care Patrol.

How to Preserve Assets When Faced With Long Term Care Costs Meet Charlie and Fran. They have three children, 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren… so far!

They have hopes and dreams for their future generations and have worked hard to ensure their legacy is passed on. As they age, they realize that if either one of them needs Long Term Care, that their property and other assets could be at risk.

They need accurate information they can trust so that if Long Term Care needs come on suddenly they are prepared and able to protect their assets.

It is estimated that over 70% of people over 65 will need some type of Long Term Care(LTC) according to the US Department of Health & Human Services. Colorado has many resources for financial help like Health First Colorado, Colorado’s Medicaid Program and Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension that will help pay for in home care, assisted living and nursing facility care.

Most Colorado elderly who need help paying for LTC feel that they will not qualify for these programs because they have too much income or too many assets. In reality, many could qualify if they had the information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a VA Accreditation or a Certified Medicaid Planner (CMP) designation. The problem is, that often plans for one program will conflict with good planning for the other. With uncertain care costs it is

48 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

valuable to have one person or firm who understands multiple programs for assistance to ensure that in planning for one solution, an applicant isn’t disqualifying themselves for future aid from other programs. Aid and Attendance is available only to veterans who have served during wartime. It has a cap to benefits and if costs of care exceed the VA maximum benefit, then other programs will offer a better solution.

The rules of eligibility are readily available online. However, incomplete or inaccurate advice often causes people to think they must “spend down” to qualify for these programs. This simply is not true and can lead to an unnecessary liquidation of the assets people have worked a lifetime to obtain.

There are legitimate means of preserving valuable or sentimental assets and income. Here in Colorado, to the surprise of many, following guidelines carefully afford numerous opportunities to protect income and assets. Consulting with an accredited firm and CMP who specializes in LTC financial solutions can help you and your family to file a successful application and qualify for the program that has the best financial outcome for your family. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written

Taxable Social Security Benefits continued from page 40 taxable Social Security base amount ($32,000) for joint filers. None of their Social Security benefits are taxable.

Example #2: Assume the same facts as Example #1 however the combined interest income for John and Betty is $10,000 instead of $500. Their income used to determine if Social Security benefits are taxable ($37,500) is greater than the taxable Social Security base amount ($32,000) for joint filers.

Therefore, some of their Social Security benefits are now taxable!

Does it make sense to pay taxes on money that you are not using?

How Much Is Taxable?

Generally, up to 50% of benefits will be taxable at ordinary tax rates.

How-ever, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable at ordinary tax rates if either of the following situations applies.

• The total of one-half of the benefits and all other in-come is more than $34,000 ($44,000 for Married Filing Jointly).

• The taxpayer is Married Filing Separately and lived with his or her spouse at any time during the year.~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted

Are There Easier Ways to Get Do you have better things to do My Medications? than worry about your medications?

Most people do not know there are other options of packing medications besides the traditional pill bottle.

Here are a few other options you might want to consider to make taking medications easier.

Dispill. This a disposable med planner which is color coded by time of day. It’s detachable and portable with perforated edges you can easily tear and take your medications on the go. It’s clean, convenient, and best of all filled by your pharmacist.

You no longer have to worry about mixing up your medications.

Strip Packaging. These are securely sealed, clearly labeled individual plastic packets organized by date and time. So when it’s time to take your next dose you just tear the package off the roll and your pills are there. That’s all there is to it.

PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE & DISCOUNTS continued from page 55 National Council on Aging Benefits CheckUp – www.benefitscheckup.org 571-527-3900

Electronic Planners. These are tamper resistant planners which sound an alarm and flashing light when it is time to take medication.

Alarm will sound for 30 minutes or until the meds are dispensed.

Pharmacies who offer these options often set up your medications to be filled on the same day, schedule your refills, and deliver them to your doorstep. Worry less and discover a newer more efficient way of packaging your medications. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Irene Medina of Compass Pharmacy.

The Upside of Senior Downsizing How a Seniors Real Estate Specialist can reduce the overwhelm.

You may have lived in your home for 50+ years. You may have raised your children in your home. You have worked your entire life to accumulate the items in your home. You wonder, how can I give up this home that is full of love and memories?

Here are three questions you’ll want to ask yourself:

during the process. Their decision to become an SRES is rooted in their desire to help others. It means that your Realtor has respect for seniors; has the ability to listen deeply and knows how to communicate the old fashioned way with a handshake, a smile and a visit.

An SRES will help you properly price your home for maximum benefit. They will help you prepare to

1

Is home maintenance becoming a problem?

2

Is it time to live closer to my children or grandchildren?

3

Is the home becoming a financial burden?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time to move on.

Whether moving to another community or to a senior-supportive environment, you need Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) trusted in your corner. An SRES is qualified to assist seniors in housing sales and purchases. Their mission is to help seniors and their families navigate the maze of financial, legal and emotional issues that accompany the sale of a forever home.

An SRES understands that this is a very stressful time for the family so they are patient and helpful 58 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

sell by recommending their team of trusted professionals in doing necessary repairs, to assist you with an estate sale or to help stage the home.

Finally, your SRES will counsel you, and keep you involved and updated, making the transaction less stressful and more successful. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written

What is a Home Equity Conversion A HECM reverse mortgage loan is a Mortgage (HECM)*? way to turn a portion of the equity in your home into cash.

The proceeds from a reverse mortgage can be used to pay for unexpected expenses, such as nursing home costs or long-term care.

It could also provide you with additional cash flow for all the expenses you have. As long as all loan terms are met, the loan does not require repayment until the last surviving borrower permanently moves out of the home, or passes away.

Maybe you have your house paid off or are close to paying it off.

Maybe you are still working at 62 or have enough money in your retirement account. Utilizing a reverse mortgage with the equity that you have worked hard to create may be a great option to increasing cash flow in retirement. As many people say, the only thing certain about the future is that it is uncertain.

The peace of mind that comes from knowing money is available no matter what is in your future is hard to place a value on. *Most, but not all, reverse mortgages today are federally insured

All Veterans, Their Wives & Widows, Deserve the Best Below is a guideline on choosing the best Caregivers at any agency.

Caregivers Possible!

Simply ask the below questions to any agency, then record and compare your answers!

Does your agency have a drug testing policy?

Most agencies: don’t have a drug testing policy because it’s currently not mandatory from the state health department (Colorado), plus it increases costs. These types of agencies could be considered dangerous by allowing themselves to be open for possible issues, law suites, etc. Also, you may find some agencies that do one 5-panel drug test upon hire… and to be frank, that’s not enough! Instead: try and find an agency that conducts a 14-panel drug test that includes some major pain medications on the panel. Also, ask if they do it upon hire, annually & at random. This will ensure you have a ‘clean’ Caregiver within your home as long as they are providing care.

What kind of background checks does your agency provide? This can be tricky, because not all background check companies are created equal!

If the agency: simply conducts a BG check online with any company, you may not be getting the full report. Why you ask? because depending on where the data was pulled, it may be stagnant and outdated, thus your critical results

78 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

may be tainted. Instead: try and find an agency that conducts at least a 150 point checks that include DMV reports (including DWI and DUI), Social Security trace, county and state-wide searches for felonies and misdemeanors but most importantly… freshly updated data! Also, try and use an agency that does the BG check upon hire, annually and at random. This will ensure you have solid, historically clean Caregivers within your presence… for the entire time they work in your home.

The first visit, do the Caregivers just show up?

Most agencies: will do this; they will assign a Caregiver without an introduction. This can be awkward and unnatural because both parties are unfamiliar with each other, their role, duties, etc. Instead: try and find an agency that has an Area Manager that will set up a meeting between the Client and Caregiver for a warm introduction. This is a huge ice-breaker and allows a friendly, comfortable introduction between both parties. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Steve Lee, Founder & Owner of Veterans Aide at Home, a non-skilled home care agency dedicated to Veterans, Spouses and their Widows/ers. He can be reached at 719-569-8500 or by email at steve@VeteransAideAH.com to learn more. See ad on page 79.

Compassionate Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Hi, I’m Kathy Miller, founder of Gentle Shepherd Home Care.

My husband and I founded the company as a result of having to find care for my 97-year-old Grandmother “MeeMaw”. She needed a great deal of care and assistance to remain in her own home. Adding to the difficulty MeeMaw lived in Dallas, miles away from us in Colorado. Flying to Dallas to take care of MeeMaw just became impossible. Thus the daunting task of finding qualified caregivers began, and Gentle Shepherd was born. I know how important the care of your MeeMaw is. I meet all our clients personally, recruit only the best caregivers and ensure everyone is treated the way MeeMaw deserved. Call me today.

HOME HEALTH AIDE – Provides direct personal care to patient, emotional support to patient and family, reports identified needs to RN. VOLUNTEER – Provides respite and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement.

Levels of Care: RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are

RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions

GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Continued on next page Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 109

Hospice Care Definitions continued Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope.

Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

24/7 ADMISSIONS – If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice,24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays.

AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those

they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Many provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting.

INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients.

IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building.

The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting.

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as

well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care.

This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals”. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed

by Medicare.

provided along with curative treatment.

PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care.

Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician.

The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria.

PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump.

If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency.

PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness.

This service is not reimbursed by Medicare.

PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be

VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

Mom’s Big Decision I wouldn’t say my mother was (An illustrative ever a social butterfly, but since Dad’s passing the home health story) nurse and physical therapist had become the week’s highlights.

We just could never get there often enough! Then the pneumonia and fall in the bathroom last winter scared us all.

My brother said there was no way Mom could afford a senior home because a coworker told him what it cost for his dad.

I did an internet search and made a few calls but there were so many types, terms, and care levels that I gave up. My brother and I both have full time jobs!

A few weeks later I had coffee with a friend whose elderly neighbor just moved into a retirement community.

They had an advisor who helped the family discover the right place for free. My call to the advisor gave me incredible hope! He came to Mom’s home and asked about her health, where we lived, Mom’s lifestyle before last winter, her finances, and just listened to our story. Right then, the advisor described some communities that seemed exactly what Mom needed. I was totally surprised how Mom responded – it was like she was catching the vision of what it would be like to share everyday life with others again!

120 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2018-2019

We toured four assisted living communities, met staff, observed resident activities, viewed units, and sometimes had lunch. We returned for a second and even one third tour. Our advisor was with us on as many tours as we wanted, and he helped us compare our feelings, observations, and costs.

Well, it has now been four months since Mom made the big decision. I am convinced this went so well because we just patiently gave her more information, showed her what assisted living looked like, and considered the little things that made a huge difference. The same home health nurse and physical therapist are still seeing her. Now we visit Mom and hear stories about who moved in, the lady’s son who builds rockets, and the teenager who plays violin and is coming this afternoon.

The word “thrive” comes to mind… and “relief.”~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted
