Protecting your assets online

Brazen scammers frequently target seniors when attempting to steal money from unsuspecting citizens. Many financial interactions take place on the Internet, opening seniors up to a wave of unfamiliar cyberthreats that may impact their online identities. Here are ways to ensure you’re conducting business with verified companies and protecting your financials.

1. Look for the HTTPS seal on the webpage At the top of each webpage you visit, sites that are secure begin with an “HTTPS.” This does not mean that all sites without the seal are not safe, it just means that those with the marker have been verified as trustworthy institutions.

2. Never give out your Social Security number Filling out your tax information through a verified institute?

It's OK to fill in your Social Security number. Signing up for a new online dating site?

Not OK. Unless you're certain that a company needs this information and will not abuse it, never release this number into the Internet.

3. Research before interacting with online retailers Online shopping remains a favorite activity among many seniors, but before divulging your bank or credit card information, research the company and discover how it will protect you against fraud.

Will it reimburse you for any lost funds?

4. Do not email financial information You should never send any revealing financial information over e-mail. Get in direct contact with any person who is requesting money so you can assess whether he or she is telling the truth.

5. Always report suspicious activity If you're visiting a site that seems off or receive a request that feel suspicious, always report it. This way, more people are aware of the issue and can remain similarly protected in the future.

Waveny welcomes two new clinical leaders Waveny LifeCare Network is pleased to announce the appointment of two key clinical leaders within the organization. Gay Bond, RN and Suzanne Gerber, RN have been named Director of Resident Care at The Village at Waveny and Assistant Director of Nursing at Waveny Care Center, respectively.

“We are delighted to have Gay and Suzanne join our management team and welcome them both into their new positions,” said Bill Piper, Waveny’s CEO. “Their leadership will play an integral part in ensuring that the experience we provide to those we serve continues to reflect the mission, vision and values of our 5star rated organization.”

In her new position as Director of Resident Care at The Village – Waveny’s award-winning assisted living residence dedicated to providing care for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of memory impairment – Bond will be responsible for leading Waveny’s assisted living nursing team and managing day-to-day operations.

“I am excited to work alongside The Village’s talented team and am inspired by their genuine devotion to providing exceptional care for the residents at The Village,” said Bond. “It is a pleasure to practice nursing with an organization that places such deep value upon a therapeutic approach to memory care.”

Most recently, Bond served as a Supervisor of Assisted Living Services (SALSA) for the Managed Residential Care (MRC) programs at both The Marvin and Kingsway Senior Housing of Norwalk, Conn. through Masonicare.

In her new role as Assistant Director of Nursing at Waveny Care Center – Waveny’s 5-star rated skilled nursing facility, which was recently recognized

by US News & World Report among the nation’s best nursing homes – Gerber will be a key clinical team leader, responsible in part for the instruction, support and supervision of the Care Center’s skilled nursing team.

She will also assume leadership for planning, developing and directing Waveny LifeCare Network’s comprehensive Infection Control Program.

New to Connecticut, Gerber most recently served as a charge nurse and interim Director of Nursing at Holy Name Friary of Ringwood, New Jersey, a 5-star rated skilled nursing facility for retired priests and brothers of the Franciscan order.

“I am delighted to be working with the residents and staff at Waveny Care Center,” said Gerber.

“Our skilled nursing facility has a widespread reputation for providing exceptional nursing care, and I look forward to upholding Waveny’s standard for being the best of the best.”

Celebrating 40 years of serving the community, Waveny LifeCare Network provides a comprehensive continuum of healthcare to serve the growing needs of older adults from all areas. Waveny is a not-for-profit organization that offers independent living at The Inn, assisted living for people with Alzheimer’s and memory loss at The Village, and skilled nursing at Waveny Care Center.

What seniors should know

Hitting retirement age means it’s time to stop working and focus on family and a life of leisure. But it’s becoming increasingly common for retirees to either stay at their jobs for longer, or even to return to the workforce on a part-time basis after having previously retired.

This can have a variety of implications on seniors, affecting factors ranging from health and wellness to finances and Social Security payments. Here is the Boomers & Beyond guide for seniors returning to the work force.

Today’s population of older adults is the largest representation of that demographic, thanks in part to the populous baby boomer generation approaching retirement age. While many are content to retire at or around age 65, an increasing number of older adults are unable or unwilling to stop working.

What is it that’s causing these individuals to return to the workplace? The reasons can vary, ranging from financial considerations to simple boredom.

There's a growing trend of seniors viewing retirement as a time to improve their quality of life, and that can often include the sense of purpose derived from meaningful employment.

Regardless of the reason, returning to work is a fact of life for many seniors. One of the largest concerns this demographic expresses is regarding how taking on a job will impact their Social Security benefits. For adults who want to maximize their income, finding the right balance between paycheck and pension check is essential. The U.S. Social Security Administration published some helpful guidelines that can help seniors and their families navigate the bureaucratic waters.

Seniors may also need to contend with physical or wellness-related concerns when going back to work. The most obvious issue here is that older adults may be frailer than their younger coworkers, making them more prone to injury and extending their recovery times from illness. If financially possible, seniors should consider reducing their hours to part-time,

especially if they work a physically demanding job such as retail that requires them to be on their feet for the majority of the time.

It’s important to keep in mind that employers are required by the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, including age-related restrictions.

Our View

This summer has been inspiring for the staff at Boomers & Beyond. Why? Because of you — our loyal readers.

At the start of the summer, we encouraged you to go out and be active, take vacations, go on excursions, visit the grandparents across the country.

Of course, most of you didn’t need our nudge, but we figured why not provide some motivation.

You certainly didn’t let us down.

You are certainly getting the most out of your senior years.

Take, for instance, the retired couple from New Haven, who shared with us their summer vacation. They bought an RV and are traveling the country, visiting family, including their beloved grandchildren in Ohio.

Many seniors in Fairfield County are in amazing health. The key to remaining young is to continue acting like you're young. Continue to be out every day. Tour local attractions, eat out with friends, and visit family. Keep in mind: When you stop moving it is very hard to start again.

The end of summer is approaching, but don’t slow down. There are so many ways for you to stay busy. Walk around the local farmers' market on the weekends. Volunteer in the community. Anything you can do to keep moving is important.

So keep busy. And, most of all, keep inspiring us.

Waveny LifeCare Network offers bi-weekly support group for caregivers coping with the impacts of Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss Waveny LifeCare Network hosts a regularlyscheduled public support group for people coping with the impact of caring for a loved one with memory loss. Held on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month in the Care Center’s library at 3 Farm Road, New Canaan, the support group is sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association of Connecticut.

Upcoming meeting dates for the group’s summer schedule include August 11th and 25th, and September 8th and 22nd. Meetings begin at 1:45 p.m. and last for approximately one hour.

Led by Kate Bacon, MSW, social worker at Waveny Care Center, the group focuses on the enormous responsibility of caring for people with memory loss including Alzheimer’s disease, and welcomes individuals from all areas to attend, free of charge.

“Our support group gives families and caregivers the opportunity to meet other people facing similar challenges,” said Bacon.

“Our sessions provide an open forum for problem solving, interpersonal networking, stress

reduction and continued education about Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss and available community resources. Sharing openly with others in similar situations can help one feel refreshed and re-energized, especially in the case of caregivers.”

In addition to giving caregivers a forum to discuss their experiences with Alzheimer’s disease, Waveny’s support group also provides its participants with an important social outlet.

“Caring for a person with memory loss can take an emotional toll on the caregiver,” said Bacon.

“Participation in a support group helps to diffuse the sense of isolation that often affects people who care for a person with Alzheimer’s or memory loss. When a caregiver takes the necessary time to attend to his or her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, the recipient of their care always benefits, too.”

For more information about Waveny’s caregiver support group, please contact group leader, Kath Bacon, MSW, at 203.594.5470 or kbacon@waveny.org, or visit Waveny’s informative website at waveny.org.

Make an educated senior living decision.

We believe access to extraordinary cultural events is just as important as access to hospitable service and excellent healthcare.

Ones to Watch: ColumbiaDoctors ColumbiaDoctors Westchester is expanding its primary care and cardiology practices to include new subspecialties, moving toward its goal of providing complex multi-specialty care for Westchester-based patients, right in their own backyard.

With the addition of endocrinologist Mythili Murthy, MD, and urologist Roger Riechers, MD, both based at the Hawthorne office, as well as Joseph Vozzolo, MD, a cardiologist in Eastchester, the practice offers patients the convenience of seeing different specialists in one location, and the advantage of obtaining tertiary or quaternary care at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center. The Westchester practice has 10 offices covering all of Westchester and Orange counties, with 38 faculty.

“We don’t see it as a change, but as a transformation to meet the needs of complex patients, providing multi-specialty care under one roof with a solid connection to the #1 hospital in New York,” says the practice’s medical director, Melvin B. Weiss, MD, FACC. “We will continue to expand into other subspecialties as the need arises.”

Three ways you can improve your credit

You haven't checked your credit score in a while, and you finally decide to do it. To your horror, it is much lower than you anticipated.

Seniors have a tendency to check their score less often than younger people, mainly because of technological hurdles. However checking inconsistently can lead to surprises like a low credit score or a discovery that you've been scammed.

If you're a senior with a low credit score, don't worry. Having a low number isn't the end of the world. Luckily this score can be improved in a few simple ways. Consider these tips on how to improve your score:

1. Check your report and score regularly One of the main things you can do to keep your credit score afloat is to check it consistently, U.S News and World Report noted. Certain websites, such as AnnualCreditReport.com, let people check their credit report once a year for free. You can get one report from each of the three major lenders. Though you have to actually pay for your credit score, monitoring your report will help you catch any issues, large or small. The report has the data that is used to determine your credit score. So, if the data is wrong, your credit score may be too. As long as you are financially stable and don't deal with any hardships later in the year, your score should remain relatively the same. Keeping an eye on it each year will help prevent any surprises from coming your way. If you do find discrepancies in your report, discuss it with the credit bureau. Be sure to hang onto any documents that support your case to prove there are errors, myFICO advised.

2. Lower your debt You can easily improve your score by simply reducing the amount of debt you have. The first way to do this is by avoiding making payments with a credit card, Experian suggested. Credit cards have revolving credit, so keeping balances low on these accounts can help you avoid debt. Never shift your debt around between accounts, as this doesn't eliminate the problem. Instead, examine your credit report and see what accounts have late payments and subsequent fees. Determine exactly how much you owe on each and determine what the interest rate is, which can put you in greater debt, myFICO stated. Pay off those with the highest rates first.

3. Set up automated payment plans If you have difficulty remembering to pay your bills on time, consider setting up automated payment plans, myFICO recommended. As many seniors in retirement communities live on a fixed income that is fairly low, timing is impeccable, U.S. News and World Report noted. There are applications that manage your accounts all at once and pay them off at various times so you always have money in your account, and you may be able to set up scheduled payments with individual providers as well.

Who qualifies for a Life Insurance Settlements or an Advanced Benefit Loan?

At B & M Capital Inc., we advise on the various financial benefits of selling or taking a loan against your life insurance policy either through a life settlement or an advanced benefit loan. When we speak to individuals or professionals at seminars and conferences, they are amazed to learn how old the life settlement industry, about 100 years, and how many financial institution own or invest in this type of business.

Yet, the greatest misconception in educating potential clients and professionals is, who are the people that qualify for a life settlement or advanced benefit loan? The answer to all of them is anyone who has obtained the age of 65 or older. They must be of retirement age, not necessary retired. They can still be actively working; actually, some of these people are still active members in the work force.

The point that I am trying to get across is, today’s seniors are very different than what society shows us or what we perceive in our minds.

Seniors, who are looking for other financial sources to find income or raise fund do not have to be hospitalized, terminally ill or destitute.

There are many seniors who take advantage of our services that are in generally good health and financially sound.

Here are some reasons why seniors take advantage of our services:

1. They are outliving their retirement funds due to the advancement in medicine, change in life style,

and the cost of living in the Northeast. Most seniors that live in the tri state area, enjoy being close to the greatest City in the world and do not want to leave. They have made friends, families, memories, and built a life that is unique to the Northeast. I know this to be true because; this is what I was told by my own parents, who were not born in this region.

2. Seniors are still very shrewd investors. Once I explain to seniors

how much value their life insurance contract could be possibly worth.

They are quick to act. First we start with basic underwriting requirements and we submit the necessary paperwork. No cost to my client, a potential offer is then offered by a top-tier financial company. In a three to four week span, my clients are amazed on how easy and financially rewarding this type of transaction can be.

B & M Capital is a structured settlement company specializing in the purchasing of life insurance, annuities, structured settlements and offering Advanced Benefit Loans.

Regional Hospice and Home Care one of 140 hospices selected nationwide to participate in the Medicare Care Choices Model PAGE 10

August, 2015

Press Conference held with Congresswoman Esty

Regional Hospice and Home Care has been selected to participate in the Medicare Care Choices Model, announced recently by Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. The model provides Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for coverage under the Medicare Hospice Benefit and dually eligible beneficiaries who qualify for the Medicaid Hospice Benefit the option to elect to receive supportive care services typically provided by hospice and continue to receive curative services at the same time. This announcement is part of a larger effort to transform our health care system to deliver better care, spend our dollars in a smarter way, and put patients in the center of their care.

Many seniors, disabled Americans, and family members of individuals who suffer from life limiting illnesses must choose between the support services provided through hospice care or curative treatment. Under current Medicare payment rules, individuals are not able to receive both palliative and curative treatment concurrently.

All eligible hospices across the country were invited to apply to participate in the model. Due to robust interest, CMS expanded the model from an originally anticipated 30 Medicare-certified hospices to over 140 Medicare-certified hospices and extended the duration of the model from 3 to 5 years. This is expected to enable as many as 150,000 eligible Medicare beneficiaries with advanced cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who receive services from participating hospices to experience this new option and flexibility.
