INTRODUCTION

Acts Signature Well-Being Product

What is the Acts Signature Well Being Product?

The Acts Signature Well Being Product is a multidisciplinary integrated approach to develop a person centered, holistic scope of a Well Being Experience for the Independent Living Resident, with the goal of delivering a personalized Acts Signature Portfolio for each resident from a resident’s move in, to annual updates and ongoing touchpoints throughout the year.

How does the Acts Signature Well-Being Product work?

Much like a financial portfolio, all Acts residents have many options to building their signature portfolio based on personal preferences, wants and needs. Development of a signature portfolio will be accomplished by:

• unifying concierge/navigation/coaching services that will support administrative, intake, scheduling, reminders, and routine support across all of our existing settings as a virtual, distributed location agnostic service.

• coordinating all health and wellness service touchpoints into an all-encompassed signature well being product that optimizes revenue capture and well being outcomes.

• incorporating risk sharing models (Medicare Advantage/other) to realize full benefits of our optimized signature well being outcomes.

Building the Acts Signature Well Being Portfolio

Prospect to 365

There are many facets to the Acts Signature Well-Being Portfolio. The beginning stages of building the portfolio occur during the new resident move in process. By gathering general information pertinent to the resident, the structure of an Acts Signature Well-Being Portfolio is initiated, including topics such as:

My Life Journey

• Previous Living Arrangements

Marital Status

Family and Cultural Heritage

Occupation/Previous Occupation

Education Level

Military

Religion

Milestones (Life)

A Well Being Health Coach and Well Being Concierge are assigned to each resident to provide continuous guidance in all facets of the Acts Signature Well Being Portfolio. Building upon the structure of information gathered during the new resident move in process, the Well Being Health Coach and Concierge will assist in expanding upon the resident’s portfolio with various questions based around the Seven Dimensions of Wellness (Physical, Spiritual, Vocational, Environmental, Intellectual, Social, and Emotional).

A variety of multi media means will be used based on resident preference (videotape, audio tape, one on-one interview, resident driven recording through the use of technology, hand written or typed documentation). This segment of data gathering is intended to be conversational in nature with the direction of the conversation driven by resident responses. Conversation starters include topics such as:

• Interesting stories or memories

• Love stories, vacation, family time, adventures, historical events

• A photo book, painting, or objects that have meaning

• Childhood upbringing or memories

• Relationships and family

• Historical and cultural

• Milestones, significant life events and accomplishments

Sp iritual Life

Physical activity as we age offers a variety of health benefits like lessening chronic pain, delaying and preventing certain diseases, and helping recover quicker from an illness or injury. Staying connected with others helps give a sense of purpose and belonging and also has a major impact on overall well being. Social activity and engaged experiences provide a variety of benefits like better cognitive function, maintaining good emotional health, boosted immune system, enjoying restful sleep and increased longevity.

Further expansion of developing the Acts Signature Well Being Portfolio is around interests and activity previous, current or things a resident may have an interest in pursuing, everything from Art to Writing, to group activities, fitness, sporting events or joining a club. The Well being Coach will evaluate and connect a resident with others that have like interests; expand capabilities and opportunities for accessing interests; and provide avenues for new interests.

The spirit is an integral part of the overall well being of an individual. In many ways, it is a significant determinant of the well being of the other two dimensions -- body and mind. Community chaplains are a vital part of the interdisciplinary team. The community chaplain will conduct an initial spiritual assessment of new residents upon arrival to the community, followed by an annual assessment to determine each individual residents spiritual aspirations, needs and goals.

These assessments inform the spiritual services that the chaplain will provide to the individual resident.

Chaplains provide high quality Sunday worship experience, Bible studies, support groups, opportunities for talent utilization, opportunities for giving back to the community, as well as mission trips.

Chaplains also provide counseling with residents especially during times of loss, stress or turmoil in one's life (such as hospital visits).

All of these services are designed to help meet the spiritual needs of each individual. The overall goal is to provide each resident with a purposeful filled life throughout their residency at an Acts community.

Primary Care

A significant component of the Acts Well-Being Portfolio is healthcare and aging in place is vital. All independent living residents will receive an annual health and wellness evaluation. The Annual Health and Wellness Evaluation (AHWE) is a comprehensive medical visit designed to develop or update a personalized prevention plan to help prevent disease and disability, based on the resident’s current health and risk factors. Well Being expands beyond primary care and includes Rehabilitation, Nutritional Services, Behavioral/Mental Health Services and Memory Support, in addition to referrals as needed to specialists.

Fitness programming includes a fully equipped fitness center, a variety of group exercise classes, recreational sports opportunities, and aquatic programming in communities with swimming pools. The certified fitness instructors are available to create a personalized fitness program to assist residents with meeting their health, fitness or functional goals and living to their full potential.

Nutrition

The fitness instructors work with each resident to create a program that will meet individual goals. They collaborate with the Nurse Practitioner, rehab and dieticians to assure that all programming is safe and effective. Recommendations are based on the interests of the residents and may include group exercise classes, aquatic programming, supervised individual exercise programming or exercise programs that can be done independently. The fitness/rehab partnership allows all residents to continue to exercise and continue to THRIVE following discharge from rehab.

A Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is completed as part of the Annal Wellness Evaluation with referrals to the community’s Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) for further evaluation as needed.

Acts residents have the opportunity to consult with the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and receive in depth nutritional assessment and counseling to set priorities, establish goals, and create individualized vitality plans which acknowledge and foster responsibility for self care. The RDN works with the resident to find appropriate programs and services offered within the community to support resident needs and promote well-being Nutrition and independence.

Mental Health

Memory Support

Participation in the Acts meal plan provides a variety of dining options for the resident to select foods that align with their personal nutrition plan. Nutritional facts panels can be accessed through the resident portal to provide in depth information about macro- and micro-nutrient content and allergens. Community wellness programming by the RDN offers opportunities for resident exploration in current nutrition topics and healthy lifestyle.

Through the Annual Health and Wellness Evaluation (AHWE), the community’s Nurse Practitioner will complete assessments that will determine the potential need for mental health intervention or services. The Acts Mental Health Clinicians (MHC) serve as key members of the interdisciplinary care team and provide behavioral health assessments, care planning, therapy services, behavioral intervention, and case management to the ILU population.

The MHCs are clinical licensed Social Workers or Psychologists that conduct diagnostic interviews to identify psychosocial strengths and weaknesses and inform care planning. They also provide individual, family and group psychotherapy services, as indicated through assessment and care planning processes; they offer caregiver support and education to family members and provides educational programs to the Acts community staff.

The Acts Lifestyle Empowerment program, led by the Well Being Coach, provides structured guidance for residents (and their spouses) when experiencing mild cognitive impairment. Through participation in a comprehensive individualized lifestyle program, members experience empowerment, purpose, well being and joy while maintaining independence to live their best life, as well as they can, as long as they can. The Well Being Coach will guide member engagement in the program that addresses lifestyle factors including: cognitive engagement ♥ social engagement ♥ physical activity and exercise nutrition ♥ stress management ♥ sleep ♥ environmental sensitivity

SECTION 3

My Life Journey

My Life Journey

Building upon the structure of information gathered during the new resident move in process, the Well Being Health Coach and/or Concierge will assist in expanding upon the resident’s portfolio with various questions based around the Seven dimensions of Wellness (Intellectual, Physical, Social, Spiritual, Vocational, Environmental, and Emotional).

Seven Dimensions of Wellness

1. Intellectual Well Being

Engaging in creative pursuits and intellectually stimulating activities is a proven approach to keeping minds alert and interested:

•

Tell us about the hobbies and interests that you currently enjoy.

• What is a new adventure, project, or hobby that you would like to try?

•

Tell us something new you would like to learn.

• What could we offer or develop via outside partnerships to help you reach your intellectual well being goals?

2. Physical Well Being

The goal of living independently is one shared by many people, and physical health and wellness is necessary to achieve this goal:

• What physical activities do you currently enjoy?

• What aspect of your physical health would you like to improve?

• What nutritional topic would you benefit most from learning more about?

• What physical activities are you doing now that you would like to still be doing in five years?

• What could we offer or develop via outside partnerships to help you reach your physical well-being goals?

3. Social Well Being

Social interactions with family, friends, neighbors, and chosen peer groups can be valuable for maintaining health:

• What do you like to do when spending time with family and/or friends?

• How often do you like to get together with others?

• What similar interests would you like a new friend to have? How do you like to celebrate your birthday?

• What could we offer or develop via outside partnerships to help you reach your social well-being goals.

4. Spiritual Well Being

Living with meaning and purpose in life, guided by personal values, is key to feelings of well-being and connection to the larger world:

• Would you like to know about the spiritual activities and services we offer?

•

Would you like to tell us about your religious beliefs and the role they play in your life?

• Is there a spiritual milestone, a significant event, in your life about which you would like to tell us?

• Death is one of the realities of life and I’m curious to know your thoughts about it.

• What could the community offer or develop via outside partnerships to help you reach your spiritual well-being goals?

5. Vocational/Professional Well Being

Work that utilizes a person’s skills while providing personal satisfaction is valuable for society as well as the individual:

•

If you would want to volunteer anywhere, now, where/what would you choose?

• If you were writing a resume today, what skill would you list as your most valuable?

• What could the community offer or develop via outside partnerships to help you reach your vocational well being goals?

• Have a list of volunteer opportunities available at the community

6. Environmental Well Being

Environmental wellness is an awareness of the unstable state of the earth and the effects of your daily habits on the physical environment. It consists of maintaining a way of life that maximizes harmony with the earth and minimizes harm to the environment. It includes being involved in socially responsible activities to protect the environment.

7. Emotional Well-Being

Feelings are the lens through which people view the world, and the ability to be aware of and direct one’s feelings helps to create balance in life.

• Please describe one of the simple pleasures in life that you truly enjoy.

• How do you overcome feelings such as sadness and anxiety?

• Who/what brings joy to your life?

• What safety concerns do you have now?

• What could we offer or develop via outside partnerships to help you reach your emotional well being goals?

A variety of multi media means will be used based on resident preference (videotape, audio tape, one-on-one interview, resident driven recording through the use of technology, hand written or typed documentation). This segment of data gathering is intended to be conversational in nature with the direction of the conversation driven by resident responses.

*Technology to be used and electronic storage of the resident’s information – under investigation. For existing resident (vs new), the original My Story document (if previously completed by the resident) will be reviewed, updated and converted to the My Life Journey living document. This information will be made available to the Well Being Coach/Concierge for insertion into the residents Signature Well Being Portfolio.

SECTION 4

Engagement / Lifestyle

Engagement/Lifestyle

The concierge will review the collected information from the Life Care Consultant and the resident’s My Life Journey documentation to date, captured by the Well Being Coach. The Well Being Concierge meets with the resident to orient them to community life (new residents) and will describe the many opportunities available within and outside the community. This visit is conducted in the resident’s apartment. For ease into community life, a resident buddy with similar interests, experiences and life goals is connected with the new resident. Newcomer socials are routinely scheduled.

Based on resident preferences, the Concierge will seek similar groups, individuals, events and opportunities and provide assistance for participation.

St. Andrews Estates Resident Interest Survey

August 2022

Prepared By Bill Tamulonis

OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY

In conjunction with the New Wellbeing pilot project at St. Andrews Estates, we conducted an online-only survey of IL residents to measure the level of interest in various events and opportunities that might be offered at the community. Residents for whom we had email addresses on file received an email invitation with a link to the survey. All residents received a letter in their mailboxes with a link and QR code directing them to the survey. Life Engagement staff also provided personal assistance to residents as requested.

As an incentive to respond, residents were eligible to win a $150 gift card for Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. We received 189 responses: a response rate of 43%.

The survey was executed by the Acts IT Department using the Salesforce Surveys platform.

FUTURE RESIDENT INTEREST SURVEYS

Based on these pilot survey results, it is recommend to shorten the questionnaire by eliminating events/opportunities that received an average score below 2.0. This will leave 48 events/opportunities for residents to rate.

Engagement and opportunity information based on residents goals, interests and desires will be made available to the Well Being Coach/Concierge for implementation and ongoing additions to the resident’s Signature Well Being Portfolio.

SECTION 5 Spiritual Life

Spiritual Life

The Chaplain will meet with the resident and complete a spiritual assessment, A Purpose Filled Life. The goal for the Chaplain is to help each individual resident to find their God given purpose and meaning in life.

Spiritual Assessment Visits

I. Initial Spiritual Assessment visit

Within the first two weeks of a new move in, the Chaplain will make an initial visit to meet and welcome the resident. At this visit, the Chaplain will also complete initial spiritual assessment that focuses on building the spiritual component of “My Life Journey” using the following questions:

1. May I ask you about your religious beliefs?

2. What would you like us to know in relation to your faith background?

3. What role would you say your religious beliefs play in your life?

4. What spiritual activities, practices, or rituals are most significant to you?

5. Is there a spiritual milestone, a significant spiritual event, in your life you would like to tell us?

6. Are you experiencing spiritual struggles that you would like share with me?

7. What do you consider to be your spiritual gifts, talents, skills?

8. Would you like to know about the spiritual activities/services we offer?

9. Death is one of the realities of life and I’m curious to hear your thoughts about it.

10. How can I assist you to achieve your spiritual goals and preferences?

This information would then inform the overall ministry of the Chaplain to that individual resident, shape discussions in future visitation, inform focus areas of support group, Sunda y sermons, Bible studies, payer, meditation groups, etc.

II. Ongoing Spiritual Assessment Visits

These could occur monthly, or quarterly, but at least annually per resident. At these visits the Chaplain will make a follow up of the initial spiritual assessment visit to determine any changes or additions to the resident’s spiritual goals, needs, and aspirations. The Chaplain will use these on-going visits to keep the resident engaged and to build stronger connections & relationships with resident as a way of learning best ways to meet their spiritual needs and hence to inform the Chaplain’s ministry. The Chaplain will discuss with the resident any observations about the resident’s spiritual aspirations, expectations, and preferences the Chaplain may have noted since the last scheduled visit.

The Chaplain will write notes of his/her observations and discussions with the resident in the appropriate shared website area for the information of other stakeholders. As is the case with the initial visit, these observation statements will help to connect, maintain relationship, and shape the overall chaplain’s ministry to the individual resident.

III.

High Quality In-House TV Worship Experience

We will endeavor to offer alternative in house TV worship service experiences of a quality that matches the in person chapel service experience, and this way help to increase choice, which is an important value of the baby boomer generation.

• The IT will do what it takes to ensure high quality of picture and other functions of our in house TV.

• The Chaplain will utilize PowerPoint presentations with songs, scriptures, sermon title, (including sermon main points is encouraged) for Sunday services, and other main services.

o This will enable the chaplain to bring the worship service experience to the resident apartment.

o It will increase participation (in singing, reading, sermon etc) of residents who may choose to attend the service remotely in the comfort of their apartments.

o It will enable the chaplain to engage those unable/unwilling to attend in person

• Of course, the chaplain must beware of the danger of isolation/seclusion of residents who may choose to only participate remotely.

IV.

High Quality Preaching & Teaching

We will present a clear and sound preaching and teaching of sermons and Bible Study lessons that bring the truth of biblical story alive and relevant to modern day seniors through the ministry of our chaplains.

• Each chaplain will be given access to Logos Bible Software a sermon preparation & Bible Study tool operated by Faithlife Corporation since 1992.

• Resources include commentaries, books on historical background of the biblical narrative, church history, systematic theology, Bible maps, several Bible versions critical for understanding a text.

• It’s non denominational and interdenominational, hence aligns with the Acts chaplains’ commitment to provide a non denominational service.

o This will help chaplains prepare high quality sermons & Bible Study lessons at a much shorter time.

V. Participation Opportunities

Based upon the rationale that baby boomers want more participation and less spectatorship, we will provide a variety of opportunities that foster participation such as:

• Talent Utilization Opportunities

o Chaplains will create opportunities in which residents can continue to utilize their talents (time, skills, treasure, experience) as a way of worship.

o Chaplains will be creative in identifying these talents (painting, coloring etc) and engaging residents in pertinent activity.

• Giving Back Opportunities

o Chaplains will create opportunities in which residents can get involved in the society to give back in service to the community, such as the following:

Serving in a Community Soup Kitchen.

Donating items to the less fortunate: local community clothing banks, food pantry, refugees, inmates.

Writing encouraging letters to military or missionary people.

Participating in worship service: Assigning residents to lead in singing, scripture reading, responsive reading, Bible Study, prayer meetings, playing instruments, serving communion, editing bulletins, folding bulletins, serving in the spiritual life committee, setting up chapel, alter guild.

Praying for others during national-day-of prayer, prayer service for employees during employee recognition week.

• Mission Trip Opportunities

o Chaplains will arrange and take residents on mission trips.

Resources & Technology Needs

1. Need to purchase “Logos Bible Software”

2. IT to assist with installation and Chaplain accessibility

3. IT to assist with ensuring high quality In House TV Picture Quality which in some communities it may require installing new system.

4. Electronic storage of the Spiritual Assessment is undetermined but under investigation Assessment data will be made available to the Well-Being Coach/Concierge for insertion into the residents Signature Well-Being Portfolio

Assessment

What is visual acuity and what does 20/20 vision mean?

Visual acuity (VA) is commonly referred to as the sharpness of vision, measured by the ability to discern letters or numbers at a given distance according to a fixed standard.

20/20 vision is considered "normal" vision, meaning you can read at 20 feet a letter that most people should be able to read at 20 feet.

If a patient reads the 20/200 line that means they can read at 20 feet the letters that people with "normal" vision can read at 200 feet. So at 20/200, your visual acuity is very poor.

Steps to checking vision using Snellen eye chart

1. Have patient stand at appropriate marking on floor.

2. If patient has glasses make sure they are wearing the proper glasses for distance vision.

3. Give patient occluder and have them cover the eye not being tested.

4. Have patient read the smallest line they can see on the chart

5. If patient reads all 5 letters correctly and there are more lines below then ask them to try the next line.

6. Repeat steps for opposite eye.

How to record vision

1. If the patient reads all the letters on the 20/30 line you would record their vision as 20/30.

2. If the patient is reading the 20/30 line and reads 3 out of the 5 letters correctly you would record that vision as 20/30 2.

3. If the patient is reading the 20/30 line and reads all the letters correctly and then reads 2 letters of the next line correct their vision would be 20/30+2.

4. You can use that notation with any line of vision no matter what the number of letters are.

Using a pinhole occluder

1. If the patient can’t see any better than 20/40 try using the pinhole technique. This technique helps to focus the light and removes the effects of refractive errors such as myopia.

2. Using the occluder put the pinhole flap over the opening and have the patient wiggle the occluder back and forth until they find a hold that makes it look clearer for them.

3. Then have the patient read the next clearest line of vision that they can see.

4. Record the vision as PH: 20/___.

Patients with poor vision less than 20/400

World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 36 item version, self administered

The adult self administered version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) is a 36 item measure that assesses disability in adults age 18 years and older. It assesses disability across six domains, including understanding and communicating, getting around, self care, getting along with people, life activities (i.e., household, work, and/or school activities), and participation in society. If the adult individual is of impaired capacity and unable to complete the form (e.g., a patient with dementia), a knowledgeable informant may complete the proxy administered version of the measure, which is available at www.psychiatry.org/dsm5 Each item on the self administered version of the WHODAS 2.0 asks the individual to rate how much difficulty he or she has had in specific areas of functioning during the past 30 days.

WHODAS 2.0 Scoring Instructions Provided by World Health Organization

WHODAS 2.0 Summary Scores: There are two basic options for computing the summary scores for the WHODAS 2.0 36 item full version.

Simple: The scores assigned to each of the items “none” (1), “mild” (2), “moderate” (3), “severe” (4), and “extreme” (5) are summed. This method is referred to as simple scoring because the scores from each of the items are simply added up without recoding or collapsing of response categories; thus, there is no weighting of individual items. This approach is practical to use as a hand scoring approach, and may be the method of choice in busy clinical settings or in paper and pencil interview situations. As a result, the simple sum of the scores of the items across all domains constitutes a statistic that is sufficient to describe the degree of functional limitations.

Complex: The more complex method of scoring is called “item-response-theory” (IRT) based scoring. It takes into account multiple levels of difficulty for each WHODAS 2.0 item. It takes the coding for each item response as “none,” “mild,” “moderate,” “severe,” and “extreme” separately, and then uses a computer to determine the summary score by differentially weighting the items and the levels of severity. The computer program is available from the WHO Web site. The scoring has three steps:

• Step 1 Summing of recoded item scores within each domain.

• Step 2 Summing of all six domain scores.

• Step 3 Converting the summary score into a metric ranging from 0 to 100 (where 0 = no disability; 100 = full disability).

WHODAS 2.0 Domain Scores: WHODAS 2.0 produces domain specific scores for six different functioning domains: cognition, mobility, self care, getting along, life activities (household and work/school) and participation.

WHODAS 2.0 Population Norms: For the population norms for IRT based scoring of the WHODAS 2.0 and for the population distribution of IRT based scores for WHODAS 2.0, please see http://www.who.int/classifications/icf/Pop_norms_distrib_IRT_scores.pdf

Additional Scoring and Interpretation Guidance for DSM 5 Users

The clinician is asked to review the individual’s response on each item on the measure during the clinical interview and to indicate the self reported score for each item in the section provided for “Clinician Use Only.” However, if the clinician determines that the score on an item should be different based on the clinical interview and other information available, he or she may indicate a corrected score in the raw item score box. Based on findings from the DSM 5 Field Trials in adult patient samples across six sites in the United States and one in Canada, DSM 5 recommends calculation and use of average scores for each domain and for general disability. The average scores are comparable to the WHODAS 5 point scale, which allows the clinician to think of the individual’s disability in terms of none (1), mild (2), moderate (3), severe (4), or extreme (5). The average domain and general disability

scores were found to be reliable, easy to use, and clinically useful to the clinicians in the DSM 5 Field Trials. The average domain score is calculated by dividing the raw domain score by the number of items in the domain (e.g.,

if all the items within the “understanding and communicating” domain are rated as being moderate then the average domain score would be 18/6 = 3, indicating moderate disability). The average general disability score is calculated by dividing the raw overall score by number of items in the measure (i.e., 36). The individual should be encouraged to complete all of the items on the WHODAS 2.0. If no response is given on 10 or more items of the measure (i.e., more than 25% of the 36 total items), calculation of the simple and average general disability scores may not be helpful. If 10 or more of the total items on the measure are missing but the items for some of the domains are 75% 100% complete, the simple or average domain scores may be used for those domains.

Frequency of Use

To track change in the individual’s level of disability over time, the measure may be completed at regular intervals as clinically indicated, depending on the stability of the individual’s symptoms and treatment status. Consistently high scores on a particular domain may indicate significant and problematic areas for the individual that might warrant further assessment and intervention.

SECTION 7 Rehab Services THRIVE with Acts

Rehab Services THRIVE WITH ACTS

THRIVE with Acts was created to help seniors maintain the independent lifestyle they’re currently enjoying. It’s an individualized program that helps you to live better today, and stave off problems in the future. The sooner a resident is evaluated, the easier any issues are to resolve.

Our therapists are medical professionals who are trained to assess all bodily systems and how they relate to one another to achieve optimal physical and functional health. Their specialized skills and treatments provide a jump start or provide a tune up to allow full benefits of Acts Fit ness and Wellness programs. Because THRIVE with Acts dovetails with fitness programs, it’s easy to continue to maintain the gains made when transitioning from THRIVE with Acts to the Fitness Team.

A lot of older adults accept pain, shortness of breath, memory problems, and loss of balance as normal consequences of the aging process. At THRIVE with Acts, it doesn’t have to be that way. If a resident is happily leading an independent lifestyle, we’re here to make sure that continues. We not only maintain quality of life, often times we can improve it. THRIVE with Acts utilizes the skilled physical, occupational and speech therapists who are already on site to help residents maintain quality of life. We’re here to keep our residents thriving.

PROCESS

We start with a 15 minute screening to determine if a resident is aging normally. We examine flexibility, strength, energy, balance and memory, using gender and age specific standardized tests that give you an idea of where your individual capabilities fall. Our experts are trained to identify subtle signs of abnormal aging that could lead to more serious life altering consequences somewhere down the road. If we think there are areas where quality of life could be improved, we make recommendations.

IMPROVE STRENGTH

Why it’s important: Strength is critical for independent living. Physician and researcher Mary Tinetti says “leg strength – not age or other measurements – was the single most powerful predictor as to whether a person was going to have to enter a nursing home.”

What we can do about it: Our physical and occupational therapists determine which muscles you need to strengthen in order to develop a safe strengthening plan.

IMPROVE BALANCE

Why it’s important: Two thirds of adults over 65 report falls every year, and two thirds of those will fall again within six months. For people over 85, one fall in ten results in a hip fracture –from which most individuals fail to fully recover.

What we can do about it: Balance improves only with regular practice that challenges your balance systems. We help to safely challenge balance and progress skills, while incorporating balance training into daily life.

IMPROVE FLEXIBILITY

Why it’s important: Flexibility exercises can reduce pain and the risk of injuries, reduce postural problems that can lead to falls, and improve blood flow to joints for pain relief.

What we can do about it: Our physical and occupational therapists know what muscles to stretch, and can provide education on how to stretch for lasting results, as well as what exercises to avoid. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it takes as little as 150 minutes a week to...

IMPROVE THE MIND

Why it’s important: THRIVE WITH ACTS MIND is designed to protect Acts residents from developing dementia and to slow the progression of dementia before it is even noticeable.

What we can do about it: We address your unique set of risk factors and provide a personally tailored program of brain exercises and challenges that help to build attentiveness and mental processing, aid decision making and more.

IMPROVE ENERGY

Why it’s important: Energy is like love. The more you give, the more you get back.

What we can do about it: Our physical and occupational therapists will help determine what exercise and duration will work best to improve vital heart and lung functions. While maintaining the residents safety, we we’re working hard enough to make a difference

Nutrition Services, Intermittent Touchpoints

A food as medicine approach will be adopted in the overall wellness care provided by the registered dietitian (RD) and culinary services. Food as medicine is a philosophy where food and nutrition aids individuals through interventions that support health and wellness. This approach incorporates a variety of programs and experiential opportunities to support/improve healthful eating at home and in the dining venues.

Food as medicine intervention categories are broken down into five focus areas. These categories, alone and in combination, assist the resident in the self management and prevention of many chronic conditions.

Prescription Program the RD and resident develop an individualized nutrition prescription to meet food consumption benchmarks.

Incentive Program price discounts or other incentives will be offered in the dining venues to encourage choice of foods and meal combinations that are nutrient dense (vs. indulgent) and align with guidelines for a healthy diet.

Medically Tailored Nutrition in conjunction with medical nutrition therapy, the resident may opt to have meals planned for them and delivered daily.

Path to Purchase Marketing residents will be influenced in the dining and living environment through the use of signage and displays, choice architecture, nutrition information, food sampling, cooking demonstrations, and menu promotion to nudge them towards better food choices.

Personalized Nutrition Education in addition to the annual visit, the resident will have ample opportunities through group classes, one-on-one education, and nutrition resources to explore, learn, and find actionable ways to consume a healthful diet.

The following are examples of opportunities within the five focus areas that support the resident in meeting their nutrition wellness goals:

In house Resident Channel or Touchtown “Nutrition Nuggets” video played at targeted times (released quarterly) and general reminders on working on wellness portfolio; video also available on the resident portal. Can also play on TV in Wellness Suite.

Virtual Wellness Group private group on the resident portal moderated by the community RD Newsletter article quarterly

Resident Portal Menu Highlight the “dietitian’s choice” meal of the day in addition nutrition information; can also be available for the week in print and priced to promote selection

Featured plate Display plate of dietitian’s choice entrée and sides positioned near the entrance of the dining room, priced to promote selection

Brochures Available in the Wellness Suite and Fitness Center explaining the program and contact information for questions

Wellness Chats coordinated with wellness team

Cooking Demo (with Chef) Easy recipes for residents who still like to cook or minimal preparation for those who don’t want to or highlights the dietitian’s choice on the menu or a new item on the menu

Shopping List Creation Session Spotlight on nutrient dense items to create a shopping list for the resident’s next grocery trip

Snack Carts/Produce Stands Featuring nutrient dense snacks and fruits and/or vegetables available to sample and purchase.

Coffee Talk/Happy Hour Small group, casual discussion on focused topic that includes coffee/tea or mocktails and nutrient dense snacks that tie back to the discussion

Tech Cafes (with IT) Encouragement and training to get residents comfortable with the resident portal to access nutrition information or other resources in groups available at the community

Farmer’s Market Outing (with LEC) During season, to promote purchase of nutrient dense items for meals at home

Group Coaching 4 week sessions to help residents stay on track or explore other goals coordinated by RD or wellness coach

MyPlate.gov Workshop Assist residents in accessing MyPlate resources to develop their own eating plans, recipes, and tools for shopping

Check In Sessions scheduled periodically, can be group or individual sessions with RD or wellness coach

Create a standard menu framework with minimum numbers of indulgent and standard entrees and sides, fruit based desserts, and guidelines for increasing bean and grain options.

Create a robust database of Acts recipes that are lower in sodium and plant based. Incentives in the café and restaurants, e.g. choose fruit over fries as a side and get your beverage for free.

Arrange cafes to make healthier items visible and easy to access (e.g. chips not at eye level or by register).

Tag recipes in Mealsuite with red, yellow, green light system. DCNS/Chef/RD work together to balance menu with dishes that are indulgent, moderate, or better for you. (not sure if possible)

Allow residents to choose if they want nutrition goal reminders attached to their account (e.g. make sure to offer catch of the day and fruit dessert). (Not sure if possible)

Dietitian Licensure Information

•

Several states licensure statutes describe that a physician or a health care provider authorized to prescribe dietary treatments initiate a referral for nutrition services. It will be noted, therefore, that the referral of a qualified health care provider, such as a physician, is apparently an essential antecedent to the RDN's ability to practice dietetics or nutritional services of any kind. The statutes of some other states also contain references to a physician's participation or supervision in the nutrition care process, but they are not nearly as restrictive as Alabama and California.

• Alabama

"[A] dietitian/nutritionist or registered dietitian … may [provide such dietetic services as nutritional assessments and nutrition counseling] upon referral by a health care provider authorized to prescribe dietary treatments", and "[d]ietitians/nutritionists may offer advice and counsel on dietetics and nutrition as adjunct medical therapy when advice and counsel is given upon referral of a licensed physician." Ala. Code 1975 §§ 34 34 2 and 34 34A 5 (emphasis added). ["Adjunct medical therapy" is not otherwise defined.]

St. Andrews Estates

Acts Well-Being Product Overview:

The “Acts Life Care” Product Has Been Redefined as “Acts Well-Being”. The history of the Acts Life Care product offering has been anchored in the concept that seniors want to manage the future uncertainty of needing long term care and other support services. The Acts Life Care product has met that need in providing a complete continuum of care that is affordable and accessible, offered in desirable facilities and provided by an organization that embraces Christian values, all together providing “peace of mind” and security.

As we look to the post-pandemic future, the product offering needs to change its emphasis to a model of enhanced wellness (often viewed as “come here to live”) from a continuum of care model (often viewed as “come here to die”). The new “Acts Well-Being” product will focus on extending an active, vibrant, full lifestyle for all those choosing to live with us by engaging them in a variety of physical, mental, and spiritual activities that have been personally scripted by analyzing their preferences and monitoring their existing and/or changing medical condition, data, and issues.

From the moment prospects sign a Resident Contract, we will assist them in designing their well-being lifestyle experience and frequently review and adjust this personalized well-being portfolio as they age and their abilities change throughout their life at Acts.

An “experience portfolio plan” is created with (not for the resident) the resident, while data analytics inform the community staff on adjustments to meet each resident’s needs and desires. The “continuum of care” as a term is dropped, and now is viewed as continuing “supportive services” which include home health, telemedicine, therapy, counseling, and much more.

The success of the Acts “Well Being” program will be ultimately measured and promoted in statistics that demonstrate a reduced utilization of assisted living/memory care/skilled care and extended life expectancy compared to alternative senior living/care options. This is an evolution of the Life Care model to one that is more flexible and pro-active – and more inclusive of other services to potentially delay or even remove the need to move into a higher-level care setting. Ultimately this adds control and flexibility for our residents to the foundation of providing peace of mind and security.

The Acts Well Being Lifestyle Fully Challenges Our Greatest Competitive Threat: “Aging in Place” The pandemic experience has left many seniors feeling like the safest and happiest place to age is in their own homes. As service delivery became more readily available and customary during the pandemic, aging adults became more comfortable with managing the delivery of needed services (food, groceries, pharmacy supplies, telemedicine, home repair, etc.). Prior to the pandemic, the many channels of social interaction available via the explosion in restaurants, theater, fitness, outdoor/nature along with accessibility of in home entertainment via streaming--made walkable towns, on-demand transportation and social interaction even more easily accessed and desirable. Along with this change in lifestyle came an increasing fear that congregate living was now dangerous (from an infection perspective). Post-pandemic, it is expected that businesses specializing in enabling seniors to age-in-place (at home) will become even more prominent, and seniors could themselves now find virtual ways to stay connected and social. Fortunately, the attractiveness of a CCRC environment, offering senior-tailored amenities and services and the opportunity to extend one’s quality of life and life expectancy, will remain. To compete with the “aging in-place” product offering, we will need to demonstrate to seniors, and to their adult children who may be the decision makers to their parents that aging-in place outside a CCRC falls short in meeting the social and overall well-being needs of seniors who are living in isolation left to manage

their own supportive services and that the offering is limited in providing all the necessary healthcare needs in a home environment.

Our Goals for the Well Being Product:

Design the “Well-Being” product to replace “Life Care,” centered on customized lifestyle experience planning with each resident, with a simple and flexible contract with pricing options for al a cart services.

Develop new service packages for onsite dining and concierge services (travel, transportation, housekeeping, shopping, entertainment, education, etc.) customizable for each resident.

Repackage the continuum of care, adjusting to an umbrella of support services and guidance for thriving-in place through the Wellness Clinic (e.g. utilization of the nurse practitioner).

Develop programs designed to reduce utilization of OBT and WBC stays (fitness, nutrition, home health, therapy, counseling, etc.), applying resources from OBT/WBC to clinic staffing and services.

Design a nurse navigator program to provide clinical coordination for residents needing medical care, with medical and home health assistants providing routine healthcare and follow up services to IL residents.

Evaluate what should be added to on-campus services that enhance the comprehensive solution we offer to seniors such as dental, vision, hearing, pharmacy, supplies, telemedicine, counseling, therapy, and technology.

Develop or obtain technology designed to capture data and monitor resident activities and utilization of resources daily and in alerting areas of concerns.

The community resources are redefined/reallocated to provide professional services to meet the demands of the “Well-Being” product (model operational budget).

Implement the “Well-Being” product as a pilot, with assessment and adjustments identified to ensure success and growth/expansion.

Build Acts Well-Being Lifestyle Pathways for multiple applied research opportunities to gain recognition in Acts being a Center/s of Excellence for various individual needs: Example: Brain-Health: Dementia prevention/maintaining and building one’s Cognition reserves; others?

►PDHI Built to support various program designs for occupational and population health. Configurable to support corporate wellness & benefits programs. ConXus Profile is a configurable health risk assessment (HRA) engine that delivers PDHI’s NCQA certified assessments and can also be used to deploy client developed assessments.

ConXus Profile supports question completion from any PC, tablet, or smartphone. The questionnaire may also be completed using paper forms or facilitated by a health navigator.

PDHI has received Wellness and Health Promotion (WHP) 5 certification from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for health risk assessments for the following populations:

adult and pediatric

adult and pediatric

seniors

These health appraisals use evidence based guidelines and aim for a sixth grade reading level. They follow the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) in Health Care in their use of texts and images. To ensure currency with clinical guidelines, PDHI reviews and updates assessments annually, or more frequently when a guideline changes.

The online health assessment can be completed on any PC, tablet, and smartphone. The questionnaire uses conditional branching logic to present relevant question sets to each user based on age, gender, and program options. Clients may configure the questionnaire to add or remove questions.

Data is saved automatically, and the participant may stop and return to complete the questionnaire at a later date. The questions can be switched between over 100 languages at any time using the Google Translate feature.

Upon completion, responses are locked before the personalized report is displayed to the participant. Optional review mode delays the display of the report until biometric data is available.

Billing and Reimbursement Opportunities

ANNUAL IL CLINIC VISIT

The Acts Annual IL Review for independent living residents is a commitment to residents to conduct a face-to face clinic visit each year. This visit is unbillable unless the resident is a Medicare (part B) or Medicare Advantage beneficiary AND has elected the community’s NP as their Primary Care Provider. In addition, Medicare (part B) and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries are eligible for Medicare’s Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) for the purpose of creating or updating a personalized prevention plan that may help prevent illness based on current health and risk factors. The Acts NPs may also complete an AWV for Medicare beneficiaries when a resident is not their primary care patient so long as the AWV has not been conducted by the resident’s PCP or other healthcare provider. In these cases, the AWV is completed in lieu of the Annual IL Review and billed to Medicare for reimbursement.
