FOUNDER’S NOTE

Look How We’ve Grown Aging resources continue to expand

In the 35 years since I founded Guide to Retirement Living in 1990, the landscape of aging resources has grown exponentially. While we still have progress to make, the support available today is far more robust and diverse. One significant shift is the recognition that aging doesn’t have to be a solitary journey. The emergence of professionals like Aging Life Care Managers, Move Managers, Daily Money Managers, Patient Advocates, and Mediators has revolutionized how we approach informed decision-making for ourselves and our loved ones. No matter what you need assistance with there are qualified people available to help. Caregiving is no longer the purview of family members struggling in isolation to provide for their aging relatives. As lifespans extended and people began marrying later, far too many individuals found themselves in the

It is this generation of people who have led the charge for additional help with senior care needs. “Aging in Place” has become a familiar concept, supported by innovations like the Village Movement, Continued on page 6

FOUNDER’S NOTE

Continued from page 4 Continuing Care at Home, and Shepherd Centers. These initiatives create supportive environments that allow people to remain in their cherished neighborhoods. Technological advancements in home design and remodeling have further enhanced safety and engagement for those aging at home. The home care industry has flourished, offering services ranging from companionship to skilled and palliative care. Families can now turn to home care providers whether their loved one needs live-in care or just a little help with medication management. Perhaps the most striking development is the wealth of resources now available for those living with dementia, including innovative day care support and specialized memory care centers. With an increased understanding of how dementia progresses, providers are able to offer customized care for patients whether they need a low level of help or constant supervision.

Housing options have expanded dramatically since my grandfather’s move to a traditional nursing home in the 1980s. Today’s choices range from expansive campuses and luxurious high-rises to intimate residential settings. More importantly, these communities now prioritize person-centered care and support, focusing on individual needs and preferences. The range of amenities has also expanded tremendously from pickleball to theater and from aquatics programs to pottery classes. Most recently, we have seen a movement to meet the needs of “solo agers,” older adults who have neither children nor spouses and are planning to age alone. This particular demographic has led to a growth in social options, clubs, and activities at all types of communities. While we’ve made remarkable strides, there’s still work to be done. The positive changes over the past 35 years give us hope for an even brighter future in aging well.

Planning Ahead vs. Crisis Response in Elder Care Everyone ages. Senior care decisions are universal, but approaches to making them vary widely. The choice between proactive planning and reactive crisis management can significantly impact both the quality of care and the well-being of families. Learn more about the benefits of planning ahead and the challenges associated with crisis planning.

Challenges of Planning Ahead Resistance to Change Many seniors and families may resist planning for future care needs, preferring to avoid thinking about potential health declines. It can be particularly hard to initiate conversations when older adults do not want to talk about what they see as a loss of independence. It is important to start slow, but to remain dedicated to having productive conversations.

Benefits of Planning Ahead Peace of Mind Engaging in senior care planning provides peace of mind for seniors and their families. By addressing potential needs before they arise, families can feel more prepared and less anxious about the future. For adult children in particular, senior care planning can help relieve the enormous stress that comes with having to physically take care of, or make decisions for, an aging parent. For seniors, planning ahead is a gift they can give to their children. Advance planning can also help older adults ensure that their wishes are met and that their relationship with their children does not suffer as they age. Improved Access to Care Early planning often results in better access to quality healthcare and support services. Many retirement living communities have long waitlists and planning ahead will ensure that the desired community and unit are available when needed. For assisted living and nursing communities, planning ahead helps families find a community that

Evolving Needs

will meet all their loved one’s care needs. Financial Preparedness

Care needs can change rapidly, potentially rendering some aspects of advance planning obsolete. It is important to remain flexible even as you plan ahead.

The vast majority of long-term care costs are borne by families. Long-term care planning helps families avoid becoming a financial burden on each other. By securing long-term care insurance early and setting aside funds, families can mitigate the potentially devastating costs of elder care.

Complexity of Options

Personalized Care

Benefits of Crisis Response Immediate Action

Advance planning means more choices and a voice in all care decisions. If seniors avoid planning and are faced with a crisis that incapacitates them even temporarily, they may have no choices or severely limited options for care. Even a small amount of advance planning can ensure that care is tailored to specific needs and desires, enhancing overall quality of life.

800-394-9990 • positiveagingsourcebook.com

The sheer amount of care options available can make it difficult for families to assess and plan for future needs effectively. It is important for families to keep lines of communication open and to carefully consider all available options.

Crisis response often leads to quick decision-making and immediate action, which can be crucial in emergency situations. In the midst of a crisis, it is sometimes easier to overcome resistance to change. Clear Needs Assessment A crisis often clarifies the Continued on page 28

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

LGBTQ Seniors Many of the LGBTQ seniors who are seeking senior living services today are the same individuals who struggled to come out to friends, families, and employers for decades because of fear of discrimination. Now, as they face retirement living decisions, they are again fearful that their lifestyle will lead to discrimination or the outright refusal of services. Unlike other seniors, LGBTQ older adults are less likely to have children to help them in their later years. They may also be estranged from their families. This demographic is far more likely to rely solely on a partner or close friend for their care as they age. A 2018 analysis by University of Washington professor Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen concluded that unique prevention and intervention strategies needed to be developed to address the needs of queer seniors. The study noted that the number of LGBTQ seniors is expected to double to more than four million by 2030. During a recent Positive Aging digital discussion, Jennifer Marie

Brown, the community relations manager at Seabury Resources for Aging, explained the historical context that drives distrust among LGBTQ seniors. “During McCarthyism, people lost their jobs, people were hounded out of a lot of federal government positions here in the DMV, because they were gay and lesbians. And it made them even more closeted, more guarded, more suspect of being out or public about who they were,” she said. Brown continued, “As we provide services for 80-year-olds, 85-yearolds, they are very leery of the consequences of being out in a retirement community or with home health care providers. They lived a life in which it was not okay to be queer in the workplace, was not okay to be queer in a house of worship, was not okay to be queer in the PTA, was not okay to be queer anywhere.” Brown encouraged local senior care providers to seek out training and enrichment opportunities to better serve LGBTQ seniors. Some communities, including Seabury and Iona, have custom programs to serve this population. Additionally, SAGECare is an independent Continued on page 24

Inclusive Senior Living Continued from page 18 organization that provides training and consultation on LGBTQ aging issues to service providers.

Racism in Senior Living When thinking of senior living challenges, most people focus on eliminating ageism. However, racism is a significant issue in senior living— just as it is throughout our society. Equity, inclusion and diversity are important topics that senior living providers must confront directly. Historically, people of color have underutilized senior living services. Many senior living

communities have completely homogenous populations—often all white. For senior living service providers, systemic racism and its corresponding economic disparities may prevent people of color from accessing services. There are also cultural barriers to access. Even for hospice services, which are primarily covered by Medicare and Medicaid, a recent study of utilization by race revealed that 83 percent of hospice patients in the United States are Caucasians, while African Americans represent only 8 percent, followed by Hispanics at 6.4 percent, Asians at 2 percent and Native Americans at .05 percent. People of color do not use senior living services like they could—or should.

Hiring Practices Beyond utilization, one of the biggest challenges facing senior living providers seeking to promote diversity and inclusion is diversity in hiring. In senior living communities and home care agencies, frontline caregivers are disproportionately people of color, while clients are disproportionately white. Companies that are not already doing so need to actively recruit and promote people of color. Frontline caregivers should be made aware of opportunities and paths for promotion. They should be encouraged to recruit other people like them to work in the organization. They should also see themselves reflected in the management. Continued on page 156

“When we first walked into the stately Residences at Thomas Circle, we felt welcomed. On our 1st visit, my husband Bert Kubli even recognized an old friend he had not seen in 25 years! We feel safe here. The building itself is a safe zone. The apartments are beautiful and designed to be accommodating as life changes. We are impressed with the care, concern, and good humor of the professional staff, especially the wait staff in the dining room. The consistently good food is often enhanced by delicious mealtime conversations. After decades together in our lovely home on Capitol Hill we decided it was the right time and right move for us—while we still had our wits about us and remain open to meeting new people and new experiences—all the while monitoring our health and wellbeing. The quality of the people living and working at the Residences at Thomas Circle makes us feel confident each day that we are living in the right place for us.” Mark McElreath, Independent Living Resident

Planning Ahead vs. Crisis Response in Elder Care

Proactive planning allows for more personalized care, better financial preparation, and reduced stress on families.

Continued from page 14 immediate care needs, making it easier to determine the next steps. This may be beneficial for families who have been unable to reach compromises.

Challenges of Crisis Response Limited Options Responding to a crisis often means fewer options for care. Families will have to select from among facilities that are actually available immediately, and these may not always be the most desirable choices in terms of location, price or services offered. Increased Stress Crisis situations in elder care can be extremely stressful for families, especially when dealing with hospital discharges and urgent placement decisions. Oftentimes, hospitals give families very short notice of discharge and limited options for long-term care.

Financial Strain Without proper planning, families may face significant financial burdens when responding to an elder care crisis. Long-term care insurance or savings accounts for long-term care need to be obtained far in advance. Fragmented Care Crisis response often results in fragmented and uncoordinated care, as families struggle to navigate complex healthcare systems under pressure. As the elderly population continues to grow and senior healthcare systems face workforce shortages, the problems of individual families are exacerbated by a system that is not prepared to meet the demands of an older population.

Planning Means Better Care and Less Stress The benefits of planning ahead for elder care challenges generally outweigh crisis response. Proactive planning allows for more personalized care, better financial preparation, and reduced stress on families. However, it’s important to recognize that even with the best planning, crises may still occur. The key is to start elder care planning conversations early, involve all family members, and consider working with professionals to develop a comprehensive plan. This approach can help families navigate the complexities of elder care with greater confidence and ensure better outcomes for their loved ones.

Understanding Solo Aging Solo aging is simply aging on your own. For most people, this means aging without a spouse, adult children, or other close relatives. Whether they are widowed, divorced, estranged, or never had a spouse or children, many solo agers find themselves in their 70s, 80s, and beyond without any immediate family members. Long misunderstood and misrepresented, solo aging is emerging as a desirable and increasingly popular way to age. Even for individuals who didn’t necessarily choose solo aging, it can be a positive phase of life with the right attitude and some advance planning.

Who is Solo Aging for? Anyone and everyone who is over age 65 and living independently. Solo agers are making decisions on their own as they age. It is important to remember that solo aging is not just for individuals who have always been single. For instance, an older adult may become a solo ager when their spouse predeceases them. Even individuals with kids may become solo agers if their children live far away or if they are unable to be involved in aging decisions or caregiving. Joy Loverde is a senior living expert and industry veteran, as well as the author of The Complete Eldercare Planner and Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? She joined a recent Positive Aging Sourcebook Digital Discussion on solo aging. In the last decade, Joy’s focus has shifted from helping individuals care for their elderly loved ones to helping them plan for their own future.

whether they want to “age in place” or move to a senior living community of some type. Aging in place means that you will be living in your current neighborhood or live in another community that is not age restricted. There are also a wide variety of senior living communities—ranging from communities where residents are fully independent but enjoy amenities to properties that provide varying levels of care for residents as needed.

Solo agers need to consider how they want to live and receive care as they get older. Options include aging in place or moving to a senior living community. When should you start planning for solo aging? Yesterday. Or today. Or as soon as possible. Planning for solo aging is much easier and far less stressful if it is done BEFORE a crisis. Especially if you realize that your circumstances will mean that you will become a solo ager, it is important to start as early as possible to plan for the future. This includes planning for your financial, emotional, and physical well being. Solo agers need to consider how they want to live and receive care (if necessary) as they get older. They should also give serious thought to

How do you maintain and build connections and friendships as you age? Joy explained that there are community organizations, events and clubs in every town and city— many designed specifically for older adults. With no shortage of places to meet people, you have to focus on not just meeting volumes of people, but on being a good friend and forming long-term, deep commitments. Friendships take time and perseverance, and there must be a balance of give and take. As a start, Joy recommends seeking out county and city groups for older adults run through Area Agencies on Aging. She also suggests a quick google search of “free activities” and your city or town’s name.

What do you need to be a successful solo ager? While the specific answer varies widely according to personal desires, the short answer is quite simple: a clear, actionable plan. Solo Aging has many facets including: Continued on page 44

COVER STORY— Comfort Keepers

With Great Care

t takes a very special person to dedicate their life to caring for another adult. The simple act of putting someone else first is perhaps the purest expression of love. Caregiving is an enormous responsibility, and it must be done with great care. That high level of care is exhibited every day by the caregivers with Comfort Keepers, a leading provider of in-home senior care designed to help older adults thrive while living safely at home. From live-in care to companion care, Comfort Keepers provides empathetic caregivers specially trained to provide uplifting care, transportation and support. Comfort Keepers helps a diverse array of clients maintain their independence while receiving the care they need. Here are two of their stories.

Coming Home Doug Bacci has fond memories of his childhood in Staten Island, NY, surrounded by family and friends. A large extended family meant summer fun with lots of cousins and houses packed with people for every holiday. Many of those memories center around his mother, Marilyn Bacci, a mother of four and an administrative assistant who spent much of her life making the long commute from Staten Island to Manhattan.

“

She was surrounded by her loved ones, and I wouldn’t have

After her children were raised and she divorced, Marilyn continued to live independently in Staten Island for many decades. “Mom was an avid walker, and she loved walking along the beach in New York,” Doug recalled. “She also had several friends who she would travel with regularly. She was very active.”

had it any other way. I just wish we would have moved her and started the in-home care sooner.” —DOUG BACCI, Comfort Keepers client who received inhome care for his mother, Marilyn

COVER STORY— Comfort Keepers

As Marilyn grew older, she began to experience some health challenges that required several surgeries. She also fell and broke her kneecap, which led to a stay in a rehabilitation facility. Throughout her life, Marilyn benefited from the care and support of all her children and their families, as well as her sisters and their families. Home was a very special place to her because it was filled with family. Her large family network provided support, comfort, and joy while she was well and throughout her illnesses. After returning home, Marilyn continued to experience health issues and had to move temporarily to a nursing home in New York. “She absolutely did not like that,” Doug said. “She went home, and my sister stayed with her, but it quickly became evident that she was going to need more care.” Ultimately, after several more short-term nursing stays, the family decided that they needed a more permanent solution. “We decided that she would move down to Virginia to live with me and my wife, and I started reaching out to caregivers because I knew we would need help,” said Doug. “Comfort Keepers responded promptly and professionally. They seemed to be in tune with what I was feeling and were able to anticipate my needs and answer all of my questions.” Within a few days, Doug moved his mom from New York to Virginia and Comfort Keepers set up a full schedule of 24/7 care for her.

With the help of the caregivers from Comfort Keepers, Marilyn was able to remain in Doug’s home until she passed away. “She was surrounded by her loved ones, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I just wish we would have moved her and started the inhome care sooner,” said Doug. Coming home, even to her son’s home, was the right fit for Marilyn. “Nursing homes can be good, but there are so many more patients than caregivers, and sometimes things slip. When she was here there was someone dedicated to meeting her every need, and she was also in a loving environment with her family,” Doug concluded.

“

A young widow, Eva had been living alone for many years and was very active and healthy. She was involved with her church and volunteered at their thrift store. She also spent a lot of time reading and was a dedicated bargain shopper.

Eva was heavily involved in Tim’s upbringing following the passing of his mother at a young age. He spent afternoons with her after school for most of his childhood and has fond memories of that time.

“I told everyone that I had never seen my grandma, my Yaiyia, sick. She never had colds or stomach bugs. She was just so healthy and was still doing all her errands and shopping independently at 95,” said Tim Mastromichalis, Eva’s grandson.

“My grandfather was a language expert. He spoke Greek as his native language, but he was also fluent in English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. Because of his knowledge, they were moved by his company to Brazil,” Tim said. Continued on page 38

would want one person that she could get to know,” Tim explained. The family was matched with Rejoice, a seasoned caregiver who Tim had known for several years. After an initial adjustment period, Eva began to trust and rely on Rejoice. Rejoice has been providing live-in care for Eva for three years now. In 2025, Eva will celebrate her 99th birthday. While her health has remained largely stable, Eva did have to go the emergency room during one illness. During that time, Rejoice was able to stay with her and help maintain a sense of normalcy. “Rejoice has really become the expert on my grandma. She knows when

something is not right and when my grandma needs a different medication or more rest,” he said. In addition to her close relationship with Rejoice, Eva also enjoys meeting the other caregivers who fill in when Rejoice is out. “She will talk to the other caregivers because she wants to get to know them, to hear about their life experiences and to share her own,” said Tim. “She loves the diversity of caregivers available in Northern Virgina. She loves learning about where they are from and hearing their languages.” As both a professional in the home health care field and a recipient of home care for his grandmother, Tim recommends that families look into

the benefits of home care. “Don’t let fear of the unknown hold you back,” he advised. “If you or a loved one needs help, reach out to an agency or provider who is experienced in home health care and discuss the benefits and how home care can help meet your loved ones needs. Educating yourself is the first step.” Whether you need a little extra help or live-in care, Comfort Keepers caregivers can help. Helping older adults maintain their independence and dignity while receiving the care they need is not always easy, but it is possible with qualified caregivers. From daily chores to medication management to companionship, Comfort Keepers caregivers handle everything with great care.

Comprehensive Dementia Care for Medicare Beneficiaries According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), dementia affected more than 6.7 million Americans in 2023. That number is projected to soar to 14 million impacted Americans by 2060. Caring for individuals with dementia often falls to unpaid family caregivers who face enormous obstacles managing the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. Dementia patients may also have multiple chronic conditions which makes caring for them even more complicated. Given the need for care and supervision around the clock, it is not surprising that dementia patient caregivers are often unable to provide long-term care in the family home. The Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, launched by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on July 1, 2024, represents a significant step forward in dementia care. This eight-year voluntary nationwide program aims to enhance the quality of life for people with dementia and reduce the strain on their unpaid caregivers. GUIDE focuses on comprehensive, coordinated dementia care through a standardized approach. The model provides Medicare payments for a package of services including care coordination, care management, caregiver education and support, and respite services. This allows beneficiaries to remain

in their homes and communities longer, potentially avoiding premature institutionalization.

Key components of the GUIDE program include:

•C are Coordination: An interdisciplinary team creates and maintains a person-centered care plan, coordinating services with primary care providers and specialists. This helps ensure that family caregivers are not dealing with a dementia diagnosis in isolation and trying to manage care without knowledge of the disease or long-term needs. • 24/7 Support: Beneficiaries and caregivers have round-the-clock access to care team members or navigators. Challenges will arise when caring for someone with dementia. This support gives caregivers a place to turn for advice when they are facing specific challenges or feeling worn down.

800-394-9990 • positiveagingsourcebook.com

•C aregiver Support: The program offers training, education, and support for unpaid caregivers, recognizing their crucial role in dementia care. Caregivers learn specific skills for avoiding conflict, maintaining patience, and dealing with hyper fixations (like leaving the home or going to a specific place). •R espite Services: GUIDE provides payments for respite services, allowing caregivers temporary breaks from their responsibilities. This can help caregivers avoid dangerous burnout. These small breaks also give caregivers the time they need to take care of their own doctor appointments and other errands. •M edication Management: Regular medication reviews and adherence support are provided. Medication management can be one of the biggest challenges preventing individuals from Continued on page 44

Eligibility Requirements To be eligible for GUIDE, beneficiaries must have a diagnosis of dementia, be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, and not be receiving Medicare hospice benefits or living in a long-term care facility.

The GUIDE Model sets a new standard for dementia care by addressing key drivers of poor-quality care. It defines a standardized approach to care delivery, provides an alternative payment methodology, addresses unpaid caregiver needs, and offers respite services. As the program progresses, it has the potential to significantly impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of Medicare beneficiaries living with dementia and their caregivers.

By linking healthcare systems with community-based organizations and providing structured support and resources, GUIDE aims to transform the fragmented system that many providers and patients have struggled with in the past. This innovative approach to dementia care represents a promising step towards improving outcomes and quality of life for those affected by this challenging condition.

Finances—Do you have the financial means to see your plan through? Have you calculated your projected expenses? Legal—Both financial and medical planning may require the assistance of a legal professional. You should at the very least have

a power of attorney appointed to oversee your decisions and estate if you can longer do it. Medical—Do you have any longterm health conditions you need to plan for? Do you have a strong family history of a certain condition? Have you appointed someone (friend, family, or attorney) as a medical power of attorney?

PACE: Revolutionizing Senior Care with All-Inclusive Support The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is an innovative healthcare model designed to help frail seniors live independently in their communities while receiving comprehensive medical and social services. PACE aims to provide coordinated, high-quality care that allows participants to age in place and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations or nursing home placements.

The program’s flexibility allows it to provide additional services deemed necessary by the interdisciplinary team to improve and maintain a participant’s health.

The Interdisciplinary Team Approach At the heart of the PACE model is the interdisciplinary team, which assesses each participant’s needs and develops a comprehensive care plan. This team typically includes:

What is PACE? PACE is a Medicare and Medicaid program that offers a unique approach to meeting the healthcare needs of eligible seniors. It provides a wide range of services, including medical care, social services, and long-term support, all coordinated by an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. The program operates on a capitated payment system, meaning that PACE organizations receive a fixed amount per participant to cover all necessary services. This allows providers to offer flexible, personalized care without the constraints of traditional fee-forservice models1.

Eligibility Requirements To be eligible for PACE, individuals must meet the following criteria:

• Be 55 years of age or older •L ive in the service area of a PACE organization •B e certified by their state as needing a nursing home level of care •B e able to live safely in the

community with PACE support at the time of enrollment. While most PACE participants are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, this is not a requirement. Individuals can join PACE even if they only have Medicare or choose to pay for the program privately.

Comprehensive Services PACE offers a wide array of services to meet the diverse needs of its participants. These services include, but are not limited to:

•P rimary and specialty medical care •P rescription medications •A dult day care •H ome health care •H ospital and nursing home care when necessary

•P hysical, occupational, and speech therapy

•S ocial services and counseling •N utritional support •T ransportation to PACE centers and medical appointments

•P rimary care physicians •N urses •S ocial workers •P hysical and occupational therapists

•R ecreational therapists •D ieticians •H ome care coordinators •P ersonal care attendants The team meets regularly to discuss each participant’s status and adjust care plans as needed, ensuring a holistic and responsive approach to healthcare.

Benefits of PACE PACE offers several advantages for eligible seniors: Comprehensive care: All medical, social, and long-term care services are provided under one program. Aging in place: Participants can continue living in their communities rather than in nursing homes. Coordinated care: The interdisciplinary team approach Continued on page 46

Whether they no longer drive at all or only feel comfortable driving to specific locations in their neighborhood, older adults may struggle getting to medical appointments if their ability to drive is limited.

Revolutionizing Dental Care Mobile Dentistry is transforming oral health for older adults Mobile dentistry and home visits are revolutionizing dental care for older adults, providing essential services to those who may have difficulty accessing traditional dental offices. This innovative approach brings high-quality dental care directly to seniors in the comfort of their homes, nursing and rehab centers or assisted living communities. Mobile dental services typically operate from specially equipped vehicles or use portable equipment that can be easily transported. These setups include all the necessary tools for comprehensive dental care, allowing dentists to perform a wide range of procedures, from routine check-ups and cleanings to more complex treatments.

Dental Care at Home One of the primary benefits of mobile dentistry is the ability to offer standard dental care services in a familiar home setting, whether that is a family home, retirement community or adult day care. “Offering dental care at home is a great option because it

allows patients to remain in an environment where they feel comfortable,” explained Dr. Julie Cole, a dentist in Leesburg, VA, who offers mobile dental services in addition to her traditional in-office services. “Especially for patients with dementia, they tend to be way more receptive to dental care and compliant when they are in a familiar environment.” Mobile dental services are incredibly convenient, eliminating the need for seniors to travel, which can be challenging due to mobility issues or health concerns. Mobile dentists are also able to spend more time with each patient and provide tailored care. With modern equipment, mobile dentists can offer treatments ranging from wellness exams and

“Whenever I talk to caregivers, I emphasize that there are many things they can do in the home that can make a big difference when it comes to senior dental health,” Coe noted. “A dentist can help you identify issues or areas that need work and then you can use tools like waterpiks or flossers to ensure that you are maintaining dental care at home.” For seniors living in long-term care facilities or those with mobility challenges, cognitive impairments, or chronic health conditions, mobile dentistry provides a crucial service. It ensures that oral health is maintained, contributing to overall well-being and quality of life. This innovative approach to dental care is not only meeting the current needs of older adults but also shaping the future of geriatric dentistry.

Treating Movement Disorders Treatments for Parkinson’s and other disorders have improved Movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, can disrupt everyday life. Patient’s experience a wide range of symptoms—from movement difficulties to mood disorders to cognition challenges. These conditions also typically progress with time. But help is available. The available treatments for Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia and other movement disorders have improved dramatically during the past decade.

World-class care in the community For decades, individuals with Parkinson’s or other movement disorders were treated primarily by general neurologists and had limited choices in terms of medicines. To see specialists, patients would have to travel to large, academic institutions. That is no longer the case. “One of the biggest hurdles to doing well with Parkinson’s compared to doing just okay was access to specialty care,” explained Continued on page 52

Essential Tremor vs. Parkinson’s Essential tremor is a movement disorder in which a tremor comes out with activity. For instance, when a person is writing, their hand may begin to shake, but when they are at rest, their hand will not shake. Dr. Falconer noted that nearly 90 percent of essential tremor patients are treated only by a primary care physician. However, he said, essential tremor responds well to newer pharmaceutical protocols—and treatments like Deep Brain Stimulation can eliminate it completely. Neurologists and associated specialists focused on movement disorders provide treatment for: • Parkinson’s disease • Essential Tremor (ET) • D ystonia, spasticity and other tone issues, including those resulting from multiple sclerosis or neurological injury • Tic disorders untington’s disease and other hyperkinetic movement • H disorders • P arkinsonisms, including multisystem atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD)

Low Vision Can Lead to Challenges Everyday activities may be difficult with limited sight Low vision is vision loss that is uncorrectable through glasses, surgeries, or medications. Low vision impacts one’s ability to complete everyday activities. One in ten people over age 80 have this issue, but many are unaware of what it is and what can be done about it. The first signs of low vision may be trouble reading, driving (especially at night), or recognizing people’s faces. An increase in falls can also be an indicator of low vision. Different eye conditions—from agerelated macular degeneration or glaucoma to diabetic retinopathy— cause various vision challenges. However, all the conditions that cause low vision can make everyday activities more difficult! It is important to note that, while one’s chances of low vision increase with age, permanent sight loss or going blind is not a normal part of aging.

Living with Low Vision In the case of low vision, sight cannot improve. However, individuals can live with low vision

and continue to be active and engaged. There are strategies and tools available to help patients adjust to current vision. These supports range from magnification and environmental changes to learning how to use different senses (such as touch or hearing). Service professionals, such as a low vision specialist, can work with patients to develop a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. This plan will be developed with the

individual’s personal goals in mind. Goals may range from regaining employment to staying safe in the home. No matter what the patient may want to do, there are hundreds of resources available to help. Losing your sight does not mean losing your independence. There are many services, supports, and professionals available to help. With assistance in place, many people with low vision go on to live full lives.

If you or someone you know is experiencing low vision, learn more about what can be done to help. Connect with the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington (POB), a nonprofit with free services and resources for people with vision loss, at (301) 951-4444.

As we age, some vision changes are normal, however others are not. Have you had . . . • difficulty reading? • difficulty walking down stairs? • a hard time seeing or driving at night? • a fall in the last year? If you, your loved one, or clients answered “yes” to any of these questions notify your doctor and call our information and resource line at (301) 951-4444. 50

Finding Hope and Healing Therapy can improve mental well-being Aging comes with unique challenges—including significant physical and psychological changes. Older adults should never feel that they have to navigate these challenges alone. Therapy can offer numerous benefits for older adults, helping them handle the difficult aspects of aging and maintain mental well-being.

to feel sad or overwhelmed. It is also so important to treat seniors as individuals with unique life experiences, wants and needs— rather than as one-dimensional elderly patients. Person-centered care is a simple approach with significant positive outcomes.

Person-centered and strengthbased approaches to therapy offer significant benefits for older adults dealing with emotional distress, depression, anxiety, family stressors, grief, and bereavement. These methods focus on respecting individuality and leveraging existing strengths, leading to improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life.

in older adults, particularly those with dementia. Actively involving seniors in decisionmaking fosters a sense of control and empowerment, crucial for maintaining mental well-being.

Strength-based therapy complements person-centered care by focusing on an individual’s natural skills and attributes rather than solely on symptoms. This approach helps seniors develop stronger coping mechanisms and resilience, essential for managing anxiety and depression. It encourages problem-solving skills while providing emotional support, leading to improved self-esteem and overall psychological well-being.

The person-centered care approach tailors care to each individual’s unique needs and preferences, promoting autonomy and dignity. This personalized care has been shown to reduce agitation, depression, and neuropsychiatric symptoms

chemical is dopamine,” Dr. Falconer explained. “These patients are in a car driving around, and their tank of gas is empty. The gas we have to give them to fill up their tank is dopamine. It’s very much akin to your type 1 diabetics who need insulin to function.”

Dr. Falconer noted that since its founding ten years ago, the Inova Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center has grown dramatically. The center now employs six movement disorder specialists in six offices and treats more than 5,000 Parkinson’s patients annually.

Traditional medications for Parkinson’s provided dopamine, but they were unable to provide consistent levels of the chemical. Patients would be left experiencing dopamine highs and lows. For instance, when patients have too much dopamine in their system, they may experience dyskinesia, or uncontrolled, involuntary muscle movements. New medications can deliver dopamine in more predictable and consistent ways— giving patients more symptom relief and fewer side effects.

As part of their approach to individualized care and accessible support for the community, the Center has expanded offerings to provide programs, resources, and support to help patients, families and friends stay engaged. The Center offers more than 100 educational, wellness and supportive programs monthly.

The evolution of treatments In addition to being more accessible, treatments for Parkinson’s disease and related disorders have also become more advanced and reliable. “Parkinson’s is a problem of a chemical being low, and that

Treatment options are expanding rapidly. There are now 25 treatments available for Parkinson’s, including 14 that have been introduced in the past 10 years and three that were released in the past six months. If you or a loved one has been living with a movement disorder or were recently diagnosed, a specialist can develop individualized care. There is no need to rely on outdated therapies or to settle for inadequate symptom management.

Finding Hope and Healing Continued from page 51 on what they can do, and who they are, rather than on their age-related limitations or health challenges.

Therapy Options Today, therapy is more accessible than ever, with choices including inperson, online or visiting counseling sessions. Online therapy has proven particularly beneficial for older adults facing mobility or transportation challenges. Virtual services make it possible for everyone to find a therapist regardless of their location or physical abilities. When seeking therapy, seniors should focus first on finding a therapist they can connect with, as this rapport significantly influences treatment effectiveness. The right therapist should make patients feel comfortable and safe sharing intimate information. It is important for therapy patients to feel like they can open up and be honest without being judged or labeled. Lastly, it’s important for seniors to check their Medicare coverage and private insurance options. Many plans now cover mental health services, making therapy more affordable and accessible. By utilizing these approaches and exploring available options, older adults can find effective support for their mental health needs.

Hearing is Believing Acccording to the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), nationwide relay services were first required by the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. Relay services enable people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have a speech impairment, to communicate via telephone with a person who can hear. States implement their own individual programs and services vary from state to state.

How do relay services work? Most states offer traditional relay services and other accommodations.

To make a call using relay services, users simply pick up the phone and dial 7-1-1. After dialing, users are automatically connected to a communications assistant. It is important to note that relay service users who are experiencing an emergency should still dial 911 directly.

What types of relay services are available? Traditional relay services are also referred to as TTY. A TTY has a keyboard, which allows the user to type their side of the conversation, and a text screen to read the other

Hearing services may be particularly helpful for people living with conditions like cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. person’s responses. After the TTY user types their side of the conversation, an operator reads the text to the other person. As the other person speaks in response, the operator types the spoken words, so the TTY user can read them on their device screen. Continued on page 75

Have confidence in every conversation. Do you find it difficult to use a standard phone? Do people ask you to repeat yourself during telephone conversations? Do you miss important calls because you can’t hear the phone ring? The Maryland Accessible Telecommunications (MAT) program gives Maryland residents the opportunity to apply for telecommunications equipment to independently make and receive calls. If you qualify, a skilled evaluator meets with you to determine how to make your day-to-day communications easier and more accessible. The MAT program has a variety of equipment solutions to support clearer communication, including: • Amplified phones • Tablets

• Phones with large and/or high contrast buttons

• Visual ring signalers

• Captioned Telephones

• Smartphones for the Blind

• Phones for memory loss

How do I find a Daily Money Manager? Because finances are a highly personal matter, hiring a DMM is an important and individual decision. Referrals from a friend, colleague, or other professional are a good place to start.

Find an Elder Law Provider Use our step-by-step guide: STEP 1 – KNOW YOUR NEEDS

Organize and outline all the information pertinent to your situation. If you are calling on behalf of a loved one, make sure that you have as many specific details as possible. STEP 2 – CALL ATTORNEYS

It is not unusual to speak only to an assistant during an initial call. Here are some questions to ask this person: How long has the attorney been in practice? Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of law? How long has he or she been in this field?

What percentage of his or her practice is devoted to Elder or Special Needs Law? Is there a fee for the first consultation, and if so how much is it? Given the nature of your problem, what information should you bring with you to the initial consultation? STEP 3 – INITIAL CONSULTATION

When you have found a prospective attorney, make an appointment to see him or her. After you have explained your situation, ask: What will it take to resolve it? Are there any alternate courses of action?

Leaders In Elder Law A lifetime of savings can be wiped out in a matter of months if proper pre-crisis planning has not been done. This puts a burden not only on the elderly, but their families and friends as well. PK Law Elder Law Attorneys have assisted thousands of families with their elder care planning to ensure their loved ones are properly cared for and their assets preserved to the fullest extent allowed.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? How many attorneys are in the office? Who will handle the case? Has that attorney handled matters of this kind in the past? If a trial may be involved, does the attorney do trial work? If not, who does the trial work? If so, how many trials has he or she handled? Is that attorney a member of the local bar association, a health advocacy committee, or trust and estates committee? What is the estimate of the cost to resolve your problem and how long will it take? STEP 4 – DISCUSSING FEES There are many different ways of charging fees and each attorney will choose to work differently. Be aware of how your attorney charges. Ask:

Do you bill weekly, monthly, or upon completion of work? Do you charge by the hour? Are there different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries? Is there a flat fee for this service? Will there be any out-of-pocket expenses (charges for copies, postage, messenger fees, court fees, deposition fees and other such costs)? Do you require a retainer? STEP 5 – MAKE IT A GOOD EXPERIENCE Once you decide to hire an attorney, ask that your arrangement be put in writing. A positive and open relationship between an attorney and a client benefits everyone. Source: National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys

Elder Care Mediation Bridging family divides

Elder care mediation is a growing field that addresses conflicts involving older adults, primarily focusing on caregiving and financial issues. When family members disagree about caring for an aging older adult or how to handle financial decisions, tensions can escalate quickly. Elder care mediation involves a neutral third party, the elder care mediator, who facilitates discussions between family members, caregivers, and sometimes healthcare professionals to reach mutually acceptable solutions.

relationships while ensuring the best care for the aging individual. Mediators help families navigate complex issues such as living arrangements, healthcare decisions, and financial management. They create a safe space for open communication, allowing all parties to express their concerns and interests.

Finding Cost-Effective Options One of the primary benefits of elder care mediation is its costeffectiveness. Compared to litigation, mediation is far cheaper. Once attorneys are involved in a family disagreement, both parties

are guaranteed to spend additional time and money before reaching a resolution. Except in rare cases, families will benefit from at least trying mediation before turning to the courts to resolve disputes.

Preserving Family Relationships When families disagree in court, the process can make reconciliation and future relationships difficult— or even impossible. Families that want to preserve—and heal—their relationships have a better chance for success if they stay out of the court system. Sitting down with a mediator can help family members find common ground and reach a decision that results in the best possible care for the elderly family member. Continued on page 74

• Expert guidance on legal, medical, financial, and living decisions • Customized written plans for aging well

A Framework for Analyzing & Resolving Ethical Dilemmas

Continued from page 69

ALCA recognizes the diversity of the experience and education of its members and the needs of members for guidance in both their professional and business roles, and thus the Code of Ethics was developed to guide members in each of these roles. It states the core values and principles to current and future members, to the public, and to allied professionals. All members of ALCA are expected to understand and behave in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the Code of Ethics.

The Code of Ethics offers a framework for ethical decisionmaking when conflicts arise in either the practice or the business of Aging Life Care. It assists Aging Life Care Professionals in examining the ethical issues present in all aspects of their work by identifying what principles need to be considered and how to prioritize them when it is necessary to make a choice. It asks Aging Life Care Professionals to be aware of their own biases as they seek to resolve ethical dilemmas.

An Aging Life Care Professional behaves in a just and fair way in all professional and business relationships. An Aging Life Care Professional does not promote or sanction any form of discrimination such as discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or socioeconomic status.

5 Things an Aging Life Care Professional™ Did Today by Heidi L. Garvis, BS, CMC® (Certified Care Manager), Aging Life Care

1. Listened. She* listened to your concerns and began to assess your short-term and long-term needs with regard to caring for a parent. She heard that your loved one wants to age in place, but the house, the finances and her ability to care for herself has diminished. 2. A sked questions. She asked about important aspects of your life and the life of an aging loved one. How has quality of life diminished? What worries you the most? What happens when you talk about your concerns to your loved one? What motivates him/her? Who has Power of Attorney? What is the medical history? What is the financial picture? 3. Created a mutually agreeable plan of care. The Aging Life Care Professional assessed the risks

and needs and created a dynamic plan of care to solve problems and monitor outcomes. athered information and created an 4. G emergency file. She put all the pieces of information together (doctors, medications, medical history, do not resuscitate (DNR) order, family contacts, legal contacts and other documents) and told you that she would be there for you and your loved one 24/7 when they go to the doctor or hospital. 5. Became the neutral party. She helped you and your loved one meet common goals. And most importantly, she helped you be the daughter,** instead of a harried, potentially short-tempered caregiver. * Or He **Or Son

Elder Care Mediation Continued from page 63

Empowering Older Adults Older adults should be involved in every step of the decision making process when planning for their future care, living arrangements, and use of financial assets. While family members, including spouses and adult children, should be consulted, a mediator ensures that the preferences of the older adult are honored.

Customizing Solutions Elder care mediators are knowledgeable about the current state of the elder care industry. They can help families and older adults evaluate the myriad care

options available—from assisted living to home care—and find the one that is right for their situation and budget. There is no one-sizefits-all approach to elder care, so it is important to find a custom solution that meets the particular needs of both the elder and their family.

Advising Not Deciding Mediators do not make decisions for the family but rather guide the conversation towards consensus. They may involve other professionals, such as geriatric care managers or financial planners, to provide expert insight during discussions. Elder care mediation is particularly valuable when families face

While family members, including spouses and adult children, should be consulted, a mediator ensures that the preferences of the older adult are honored. disagreements about an aging parent’s care, siblings have differing opinions on financial matters, or when role-reversal emotions complicate decisionmaking processes.

Hearing is Believing Continued from page 53 Using Hearing Carry-Over (HCO), users who can hear but have difficulty speaking or being understood over the telephone are able to type their side of the conversation, which is then voiced to the other participant by the operator. Speech-to-Speech (STS) is a similar service that assists individuals who have mild to moderate difficulty speaking and can hear clearly on the phone. Users speak with their own voice or with an assistive device and the operator re-voices what is said, as needed. This service may be particularly helpful for people living with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. Using Voice Carry-Over (VCO), people who can speak clearly but have difficulty hearing what is being said over the phone can remain connected. The relay user speaks directly to the other person. As the other person responds, an operator types the response and the VCO user reads it on the screen of their phone. Another option for individuals who have difficulty hearing over the phone is a Captioned Telephone.

Jessica Young, BS, CDP President Aging Life Care Manager

A Captioned Telephone works just like a standard phone, with one important difference: it displays captions on the device’s screen of what the other person says. For clarity, the Captioned Telephone user can read the captions while listening to the other person’s spoken words. For Spanish speakers, Spanish Relay is available for all the aforementioned services. For users who want to enjoy group calls or need conferencing functionality for work, Remote Conference Captioning (RCC) allows users to read captions of what all participants are saying during conference calls while they listen. Newer services are also available. Video Relay Service (VRS) is an Internet-based system for people with video conferencing equipment or videophones who communicate in American Sign Language.

Contact us for a free consult or visit our website for additional information.

Service (IP CTS) enables people to communicate by speaking and listening to what they can hear over a telephone and reading what the other person is saying.

What are the costs for relay services? Relay services are provided at no cost to all users. Relay services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. There is no limit on the number or length of calls a user may make, and there are no set-up fees or charges for calls. State relay service programs provide and pay for some relay services, such as relay services used on in-state calls made through some services. The FCC oversees the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Fund which pays for other relay services, such as relay services used on interstate calls made using certain services and all calls made using newer services.

Equipment Options Assistive telecommunications equipment is often available through state programs. To qualify, applicants generally must meet both medical and financial criteria. Applicants may also purchase equipment directly from a third-party provider.

Housing Options

Accommodating a variety of needs, tastes and budgets The senior living industry can seem overwhelming, but the important thing to keep in mind is that there is a housing option perfect for every person and every situation. Start here to find it.

What housing options are available and how can they help me? Life plan communities are also known as continuing care retirement communities. These communities generally feature care options ranging from independent living to long-term nursing care on one campus. Residents can transfer to higher levels of care as needed. For older adults who want to leave the burdens of home maintenance behind, independent living communities may be the ideal option. In addition to property upkeep, these communities also generally offer 24-hour security and activities to keep residents engaged. Most independent living communities are rental properties, although some do offer the option for residents to purchase units.

Many Senior Move Managers are also movers. Others work closely with a reputable local moving company to complete that aspect of the job.

Finally, Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) are real estate professionals who have completed extensive coursework on how best to assist older adults and their families in the home buying or selling process. CSHPs understand that late-in-life moves can be more complicated and require greater physical and emotional energy than traditional moves. They are trained to help older adults navigate the complexities of moving by addressing their fears, concerns, needs and goals.

Handling Your Stuff Stuff. We’ve all got it. Most of us have too much of it. It’s no surprise that there are now entire industries built around organizing, decluttering, and finding joy from our stuff—or lack of stuff. For older adults and their families, the topic of handling stuff can become even more challenging as you may be talking about decades—or even generations— of stuff. In fact, one of our most popular discussion topics on the Positive Aging Community platform is “what to do with our stuff.” A common refrain we hear from individuals who are considering

moving or downsizing is “I’m not ready yet.” However, too often that “I’m not ready yet,” actually means “I don’t know how to handle all my stuff.” Even when an individual has a strong desire to move, they must also have a strategy for handling their possessions. Otherwise, they risk becoming overwhelmed—and stuck. Here are a few common themes and tips for getting started.

Photos, Videos and Storytelling Take photos or videos of your possessions. Record the stories behind the items and share what they mean to you. Not only is this a good way to share your memories

with your loved ones, it is also an opportunity for you to revisit positive memories of treasured items after they have found a new home.

Swedish Death Cleaning Swedish death cleaning is a wellknown concept in Scandinavian culture. During this process, individuals work on eliminating unnecessary items from their homes, so their loved ones will not be burdened with the task after they pass away. This is an incredible gift to give your family members. If you are preparing to move or just decluttering, address the boxes of papers and stacks of old dishes.

Life Plan Communities Offering diverse lifestyle options Life Plan Communities are properties offering a combination of living options for older adults. These communities offer an active lifestyle for residents, as well as a wide array of amenities and services. Life Plan Communities were formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). Living options available at Life Plan Communities may include independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing services. These different levels of care are all offered on a single campus. Residents have the option to have all their current or future healthcare needs met

without ever leaving campus. Life Plan Communities afford residents endless opportunities to remain active and involved. These communities generally appeal to young, healthy older adults.

Amenities vary widely but often include swimming pools, fitness centers, gardening areas, and golf courses or putting greens. Additionally, residents have access to hundreds of clubs and activities— Continued on page 121

Understand Entrance Fees Knowing the options when paying for life plan communities Most life plan communities require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the life plan community to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways:

Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50

800-394-9990 • positiveagingsourcebook.com

percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. Full refunds offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are partially refundable or refundable on a declining basis.

Understanding Contracts Life plan communities, also known as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), offer multiple levels of care all on one campus. This article can help you navigate the different contracts you may encounter as you embark on your search for a new home. 1. Type A (Life Care Agreements). Type A contracts include overall housing, residential services (amenities) and unlimited health-related services. Type A contracts provide a sense of stability, as future costs are much more predictable regardless of any changes in needed services

or care. Residents pay a much larger entrance fee compared to other contract types, but the monthly fee is flat through all levels of care. 2. Type B (Modified Agreements). As with Type A, Type B contracts include housing and residential services. Unlike Type A, Type B does not cover all future health care needs but does offer discounted or waived rates for those services. While Type B contracts have a lower entrance fee than Type A, should an increase in care become necessary, it would be

the resident’s responsibility to cover costs. 3. Type C (Fee-For-Service Agreements). Like both A and B, Type C contracts cover housing, residential services and health care. Residents pay a smaller entrance fee in the beginning. Then, if you don’t need to use higher levels of care, there is no additional cost to you beyond your monthly service fee for using amenities like transportation or activities. While Type C contracts will save you on up-front costs, the resident risks the potential for large costs down the road if there is a sudden need for care.

Before Signing a Contract 1. Consult a financial adviser. Joining a senior living community is a serious investment. Discuss the decision with your trusted financial adviser. 2. Research the organization and management. The financial stability of the community as well as the continuity of management are two essential factors to vet thoroughly. 3. Understand services covered. Asking about guaranteed services will alleviate many of those “what if ” questions: What if you get dementia? What if you become debilitated? Ask management

specific questions about what’s covered in your contract beyond care services. 4. Find out how refunds work. Signing a Life Plan Community contract is a big decision—so what if you change your mind? 5. Ask about a benevolence program. Many nonprofit Life Plan Communities offer benevolence programs if a resident exhausts his or her financial resources. 6. Make sure your voice will be heard in the future. Some communities have their own associations, and residents have the

right to be represented on boards. 7. Determine what role your family will play. Make sure your family understands the financial commitment and how your contract works. Decide if you want your family to be involved in future decision making and give them the necessary permissions.

Choosing a Community 6 key considerations

Financially, emotionally, and from a practical perspective, choosing a continuing care retirement community (CCRC, or “life plan” community) is a big decision. This is a choice that will impact your quality of life, health, happiness, and wallet for years to come. There are six key areas that consumers should evaluate when considering a CCRC.

Residences and amenities When looking at a CCRC, among the easier things to assess are the physical campus and the various amenities provided by the community. Take

several tours of the community’s residences, considering different floorplans and features, and then contemplate what is important to you. Because one of the principal reasons people opt for a CCRC is the continuum of care services they offer, be sure you look at both the independent living residences, as well as the assisted living portion of the community. You want to have confidence that you will feel at home once you are settled into your new surroundings. There is also an assortment of amenities that will be provided by

We’re Better Together We believe the most fulfilling life is one with vast experiences — in a place where diversity of culture, religion, and experiences come together to create a true sense of belonging.

Some amenities to look for may include: technology that helps residents stay safe as well as keep up with the times; community gardens, walking trails, and manicured grounds; transportation services and planned excursions; multiple dining options like cafés and bistro-style settings; a fitness center, pool, golf course, and tennis or pickleball courts; and conciergestyle services and move-in coordinators.

Generally speaking, there are five common types of CCRC contracts offered among communities: Type A (lifecare), Type B (modified), Type C (fee-for-service), Rental, and Equity/Co-op. And when it comes to entry fees (which almost all CCRCs require), some are refundable and others are not (or are only partly refundable). Because they aren’t apples-toapples, comparing the cost of these various types of CCRC contracts, especially in different parts of the country, can be challenging. A lifecare contract in Seattle may be substantially more than a fee-forservice contract in Cleveland. Or, suppose one CCRC’s campus and

It is critical that you have a thorough understanding of which contract is right for your particular situation, and which one you are signing.

Quality of care CCRCs offer numerous attractive services and amenities for those living independently, but let’s keep sight of the primary reason for considering a CCRC: access to a continuum of care services. You want to be sure that the care services—both assisted living services as well as long-term skilled nursing care services within the onsite healthcare center—will be up to your expectations, should you one day need them.

Independent Living Communites

Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers.

Continued from page 107 activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Most independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events, organized gatherings and an array of clubs. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. Independent living communities typically offer a variety of meal plans. Residents also have the option of preparing their own meals. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services. However, some communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed.

Life Plan Communities Continued from page 91

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

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

Assisted Living

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

renewing existing licenses. This process provides basic protections for consumers. Residents of assisted living communities are generally seniors who need some assistance with basic activities, frequently called the

activities of daily living (or ADLs). Some communities may accept residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In fact, some communities may specialize in serving individuals with specific medical conditions, including dementia. A few communities serve individuals of any age with developmental disabilities. When reviewing assisted living communities, consumers should ask about any specializations the community may have. The services and activities provided in assisted living communities help Continued on page 124

Other services and activities available at some assisted living communities include:

• M edication management, or assistance with self-administration of medicine

• C oordination of services by outside health care providers

All communities also offer three meals a day in a group dining room. However, dining options can vary dramatically in terms of the meals available and the costs associated with meal plans.

Assisted living communities are a bridge between living at home and living in a nursing home. Assisted living communities do not typically provide the level of continuous skilled nursing care found in nursing homes and hospitals. For instance, if a prospective resident needs constant care, a nursing home may be a more viable option. Source: www.ahcancal.org

HOUSING

Pay for Assisted Living Know your options when paying for care Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. Certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs. Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may offer subsidies for rent to those who are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other

payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living/personal care costs are covered through private payments by residents and families. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information

on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.

Assisted Living in Virginia Virginia has specific laws and regulations governing assisted living communities. According to Virginia laws, licensed assisted living communities can provide two distinct levels of care. Residential Living services provide minimal assistance with the activities of daily living, or ADLs, to older adults who have only minor physical or mental limitations. Assisted Living services include more moderate assistance for residents who may need additional help to maintain their lifestyle.

Get Involved and Reap Rewards Volunteering helps residents, families and communities Most parents are involved to some degree in the parent teacher organizations at their children’s schools. The same concept applies for senior living. When your loved one moves to a retirement community, you should make it a priority to become a part of that community. Volunteering is a great way to get involved. Give freely of your time and your talents, and you and your loved one will certainly reap the rewards. Much like schools, senior living communities welcome volunteers from the larger community. They are especially keen to get residents’ family members involved. Volunteers often engage in friendly visiting or help out with special events or fundraising activities. Some volunteers lead discussion groups, accompany residents for walks or share a special talent. Most communities are open to ideas for potential volunteer assistance.

Benefits for Residents According to “The Benefits of Volunteering at a Senior Living Community,” by Marissa Salvesen, volunteers are essential to

the operation of senior living communities and the well being of residents. “Volunteers can offer much-needed time and assistance, such as helping a resident organize a closet, writing cards or notes, or recording a resident’s life story; all tasks that can help families with the responsibilities of caregiving,” Salvesen explained.

Becoming a part of your loved one’s senior living community will help your loved one adjust quicker and feel more connected. Adding a regular volunteer shift to your schedule will let your loved one know that you are committed to their community and enjoy spending time with their friends.

Family volunteers are particularly beneficial because they are familiar with the challenges that residents might face. By giving just a few hours of time, family members can help their loved one and other residents.

Volunteering at your loved one’s senior living community will help the entire family feel more connected to your older relative and their home. In Continued on page 144

Inclusive Senior Living Continued from page 24 To improve hiring practices, senior living providers can turn to local colleges. “You’ve all heard of Howard University. You’ve all heard of Morgan State. You’ve all heard of UMBC. So if you’re not doing active recruiting in those locations, then you’re not looking hard enough,” explained Cordell Martin, community relations coordinator at Tribute at Melford, an assisted living and memory care community in Bowie, Md, during a digital discussion. “I’m talking about bringing in talented people. I’m not talking about bringing in someone just so you can say you’ve fulfilled a quota, because that’s often how it’s presented.”

Discrimination by Clients During Positive Aging’s digital discussion, many of the panel members and the participants highlighted discrimination by clients, especially in the home care sector. Many caregivers, particularly those who are from foreign countries, face discrimination from clients. Caregivers may be mistreated or misjudged simply based on racist ideas. Home care workers and owners alike reported clients asking for caregivers who “didn’t have accents” or who “looked like them.” Sambal Johnson, a caregiver with HomeCare.com, relayed her personal experience. “I’ve been discriminated against because of my name. They assume that there will be a language barrier or that I don’t know what I’m

156

doing. But once you get in and you understand them and explain yourself to them, the majority of the people are understanding and it works out.” Companies have to support and defend their workers—to the point of removing them from uncomfortable or unsafe situations. Todd Walrath, the CEO of HomeCare.com, spoke of how he supports his frontline workers by ensuring that they know they can always refuse a client if they feel they are in danger or being discriminated against. With clients, Walrath tries to keep the focus on the qualifications of the caregiver, instead of their race or ethnicity.

Industry Actions To truly change the make-up of senior living, diversity and inclusion must become a way of life for companies. Dr. Jeffrey Ash the associate dean for diversity and inclusion at the University of Maryland School of Nursing explained that the single best way to encourage diversity in hiring practices and inclusion in employee experiences is to attach them to metrics. Dr. Ash encourages companies to add questions about diversity and discrimination to their employee and client reviews and to track the responses. To help the health care industry as a whole better address these issues, HomeCare.com established a coalition called Nurses Against Racism. The mission of the group is to unite healthcare providers to make meaningful change towards racial equity in the nursing industry. For more information or to get involved, visit NursesAgainstRacism.com.

Capital Caring Health, a nonprofit provider of advanced illness, home and hospice care services throughout the Washington metropolitan area, recently established The Center for Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity to serve more minority elders who need hospice care, as well as those who need traditional medical care to remain independent in their homes. Finally, Broadmead, a senior living community near Baltimore, is engaging in a coordinated effort to recruit a more diverse resident population. Led by Jennifer Jimenez Maraña, the community’s director of diversity and inclusion, the effort focuses on promoting social justice by ensuring that the population of residents is as diverse as the caregivers. While none of these efforts can eliminate systemic racism or homophobia in the senior living sector, they are small and important steps in the right direction. They can also serve as a model for larger efforts to ensure that senior living services truly serve all seniors and that the industry presents real opportunities for care professionals. If we advance a system that serves all, we will all be better served.

Nursing & Rehabilitation Specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance At a nursing care center, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer sub-acute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event.

Who is Nursing Care for? These communities serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home, or as temporary facilities during a recovery period. Some residents enter a nursing care center for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness, while others enter on a more permanent basis.

Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and personal assets are all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care

facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. Continued on page 169

Paying for Nursing Home Care Nursing home care can be expensive. There are many ways you can pay for nursing home care. For example, you can use your own money, you may be able to get help from your state, or you may use long-term care insurance. Most people who enter nursing homes begin by paying for their care out-of-pocket resources (like bank accounts and stocks). Over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid.

Will Medicare pay for nursing home care? Medicare generally doesn’t cover long-term care stays in a nursing home. Even if it doesn’t cover nursing home care, you’ll need health coverage for hospital care, doctor services, and medical supplies while you’re in the nursing home.

Part A covers skilled care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Skilled care is nursing and therapy care that can only be safely and effectively performed by, or under the supervision of, professionals or technical personnel. It’s health care given when you need skilled nursing or skilled therapies to treat, manage, and observe your condition, and evaluate your care. Medicare covers certain daily skilled care services on a short-term basis (up to 100 days in a benefit period). For more information on Medicare’s coverage of SNF care, visit Medicare. gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Continued on page 167

Paying for Nursing Care

410

you’re at the nursing home, so it’s good to know whether the home will accept Medicaid.

Continued from page 157

Personal resources You can use your personal money and savings to pay for nursing home care. Some insurance companies let you use your life insurance policy to pay for longterm care. Ask your insurance agent how this works. Important: Be sure to get help before using either of these options. There are important issues you need to understand.

Help from your state (Medicaid) Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Most, but not all, nursing homes accept Medicaid payment. Even if you pay outof-pocket or with long-term care insurance, you eventually may “spend down” your assets while

Check with the nursing home to see if they accept people with Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary from state to state. Most often, eligibility is based on your income and personal resources. Many states have higher Medicaid income limits for nursing home residents. You may be eligible for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home even if you haven’t qualified for other Medicaid services in the past. Sometimes you won’t be eligible for Medicaid until you’ve spent some of your personal resources on health care. Generally, even if you’re eligible for Medicaid, all of your income (except for a monthly personal needs allowance and amounts considered necessary to support your spouse and family living in the community) will go to pay your nursing home expenses and Medicaid will cover the rest. To get more information on Medicaid eligibility in your state, call your local Medicaid office.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Promoting functional abilities and independence Whether they are recovering from an injury or managing a long-term illness, older adults can turn to rehabilitation services to regain their highest possible level of independence. Topquality physical, occupational and speech therapists work on a wide variety of injuries, diseases and disabilities, helping older adults improve overall physical and mental functioning. Professional therapists are highly trained in the newest rehabilitative techniques and have an enormous amount of experience in the care of the geriatric population. Modern outpatient facilities use cuttingedge rehabilitation equipment and technology to maximize a patient’s function and expedite their recovery process. Outpatient rehab offers significant value for older adults, providing a comprehensive approach to maintaining health and independence. This form of therapy allows seniors to receive specialized care while continuing to live at home. From help with mobility to recovering language skills, outpatient therapists are able to help older adults live their best possible lives. There are several different types of therapy available that target different needs and specific populations.

Physical Therapy Physical therapy plays a crucial role in improving mobility and

168

strength for seniors. As we age, muscles can weaken and joint flexibility decreases, making daily activities challenging. Physical therapists work with older adults to enhance their physical abilities through:

• S trength training — Weight lifting exercises are particularly important for older adults because muscle tone tends to deteriorate with age. Strength training can help counteract this natural loss of muscle. • B alance exercises — One of the number one causes of emergency room visits for older adults is falls. Balance exercises can help older adults remain steady on their feet, reducing the risks for falls. • S tretching — Flexibility is important for balance and overall health. Regular stretching can help keep joints and muscles working optimally. • P ain Management — One of the most effective treatments

for chronic pain resulting from arthritis or other conditions is physical activity. Certain exercises can help relieve persistent joint pain. There are also pharmaceutical and other methods for minimizing pain and improving daily functionality. Physical therapy helps seniors maintain independence and reduces the risk of falls and other complications. For older adults who are recovering from injuries, strokes or surgeries, physical therapy can be the difference between regaining independence and enduring a long or neverending recovery period.

Choosing a Memory Care Community Selecting the right memory care community for a loved one with dementia is a crucial decision that requires careful consideration. Dementia care is unique because dementia patients run a higher risk of wandering and other potentially dangerous behaviors. Often, individuals with dementia will need higher levels of care as the disease progresses. It is important to ensure that the community you select can care for your loved one both now and in the future. By using Sourcebook, you can create a list of potential communities and narrow it down

Hospice Care

remain in control of his or her life.

Improving the quality of life remaining A patient and family may turn to hospice care when the goals of patient care have switched from curing to comforting. Hospice involves a special system of supportive services, including pain and symptom management, social services, and emotional and spiritual support. Any individual of any age with a diagnosis of a terminal disease may turn to hospice.

In addition to traditional medical hospices, there is a non-medical hospice program in Montgomery County that offers support for patients with a year’s prognosis or less who may choose to continue their curative treatments.

How Do I Receive Hospice Care?

Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved.

Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered.

Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to

As care is usually provided in one’s home, many hospice patients live out their lives in the comfort of familiar daily routines, surrounded by their treasured possessions along with family and friends. However, hospice services may also be provided in long-term care facilities or in-patient hospice residential settings.

What Services are Provided? Hospice team members focus primarily on managing the patient’s pain and symptoms with medication, medical supplies and equipment. Other services, such as speech and physical therapy, are available if necessary.

If managing the symptoms within the home becomes impossible, hospice providers can offer shortterm inpatient care. While family members learn how to properly care for the patient, information and support is also available to help everyone deal

with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying. Surviving loved ones will receive bereavement care and counseling from the hospice professionals.

How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid,

private insurers or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For more information, see www.caringinfo. org or the information on hospice care at www.cancer.org.

Continuing Care at Home Aging in place with support Combining the amenities of a retirement community with the comforts of remaining in the family home, Continuing Care at Home (CCAH) programs offer a unique lifestyle option for older adults. CCAH is an innovative solution for older adults who wish to age in their own homes while still receiving the benefits of a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). These programs, sometimes called "CCRCs without walls," provide a range of services designed to support seniors in maintaining their independence and quality of life.

What is a Village? A Village is a community or group of people who want to live in their own homes as they get older, with all the resources needed to live active lives. A village provides many of the benefits of a traditional retirement community—all in the comfort of the family home. Village residents maintain their independence, their friendships and multigenerational community connections. Because they work together to ensure each other’s continued health and safety, residents are able to live long, full lives in their homes.

may organize book clubs, walking groups, knitting clubs, guest speaker events, group outings and so much more. Many Village events take place at a neighbor’s home; others take place at a local church, synagogue, mosque, library or community recreation center. Villages often partner with other local organizations to develop programs together. needed. Volunteers may also help with simple tasks at home.

Who Creates the Village?

What Does the Village Offer?

Examples include small repairs, changing light bulbs, providing cooked meals to a sick neighbor, or offering assistance with laundry for someone who was just released from the hospital.

Villages are created by residents of the community. The residents are people who have a vision for an improved quality of life for all. Every new Village starts with a vision and with a dedicated core of individuals ready and willing to make that vision a reality.

Villages focus on building social connections. There are organized events, large and small, that are of interest to the community. Villages

AGING IN PLACE

Safe and Accessible Homes Creating home environments that promote aging in place According to 2018 Home and Community Preferences: A National Survey of Adults Age 18-Plus by AARP, 3 out of 4 adults age 50 and older want to stay in their homes and communities as they age. However, older adults are painfully aware of the challenges that come with aging in place. In the same study, only 59 percent of respondents anticipated being able to stay in their communities. Unfortunately, more than half of Americans (52%) age 65 plus will need long-term care in their lifetimes, according to investment research firm Morningstar. Otherwise healthy older adults often need help recovering after a major illness or a fall. In fact, falls are the most frequent cause of injury for older adults and often lead to increased care needs. A 2015 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that about a third of older adults fall each year—and the number of falls is steadily rising. If older adults plan to successfully

Technology to Promote Independence

Smart home technology can make aging in place safe and easy.

• D igital voice assistants (like Amazon Echo) can offer simple improvements to everyday environments. For older adults with vision impairment, the speakers allow users to access audio books, so they can easily “read.” The devices can also play a wide variety of music and games, offering a remedy for both loneliness and boredom and can be programmed to control thermostats, lights and security features.

• V ideo doorbells and in-home cameras allow adult children and other caregivers at a distance to monitor the movements and safety of older adults who are living alone.

• P ersonal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) keep older adults connected to emergency call centers that are monitored 24 hours a day by using a small transmitter that can be worn around the neck or on a belt. Consumers can purchase, rent or lease a PERS.

A home’s entryways are particularly important for aging in place, since they control access to the house. Ramps, covered entryways, wider doorways, exterior lighting and key less locks can be used to make access easier.

Many older adults struggle with arthritis in their hands, making using traditional twist doorknobs and faucets difficult. More modern lever-style handles and knobs are easier to turn or push down.

Falls are a major risk for older adults. Often, a simple fall can lead to a long-term injury or even a hospital stay. Tip #2: Place non-slip strips or non-skid mats on tile and wood floors or surfaces that may get wet.

Tip #3: Replace handles on doors

Falls in the bathroom are a major concern. Grab bars are a simple fix. Have grab bars installed by a qualified

professional who can ensure they are anchored and able to support your weight. Tip #5: Install a ramp with handrails to the front door.

Easy entry to and from your home is essential for long-term aging in place. Tip #6: Place light switches at the top and bottom of stairs and remember to turn on night lights.

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

Medicare and Home Care Know the coverage options When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves confused by a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home health care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation.

Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent and in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted. Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following:

Fall Prevention Personal Care Post-Surgery Care Dementia Care

• H ome health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • M edical social services • C ertain medical supplies • D urable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided Continued on page 199

Planning for Care at Home by Phyllis Mensh Brostoff CISW, CMC, Aging Life Care Association™ Member, Fellow of the Leadership Academy

If you took a poll of older adults and asked each person if they wanted to remain in their own home until the end of their life, most people would say, “of course.” That is a wonderful goal, which often takes a lot of sound planning to be successful. Anything can get in the way—accidents, illness, lack of energy, declining physical abilities—of achieving your desired independence. It is hard to give up even a little autonomy, but asking for assistance can help keep you where you want to be—in your own home.

What if You Become Homebound? If you are recovering from an acute illness, you may be eligible for home health services that are paid for by the Medicare program. An Aging Life Care Manager™ can help you access licensed home health services by facilitating a conversation with your physician about your need for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/ or speech therapy in your home. This is an important conversation to have with your doctor and

However, Medicare will only pay for these services if you are “homebound.” Homebound is defined as only leaving your home for “medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for nonmedical reasons, like attending religious services.” You may also receive help from a home health aide under the supervision of a professional nurse or therapist. A physical or occupational therapist can evaluate your home and recommend equipment (such as grab bars in the bathroom) that will improve your safety.

Accessing services These services must be obtained from a state licensed home health agency certified to provide

Medicare-reimbursed services. They may be freestanding agencies, or they may be part of a large, hospital-based organization. Licensed home health services are usually time-limited, ending when you have met the goals of treatment and the need for the

skilled care has ended. If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage program, you may also have access to additional services such as home visits after a hospitalization. Continued on page 198

Caregiver Shares Hard-Earned Knowledge By Carol Hillegas Tracy Cram Perkins never set out to write a book about caregiving for someone with dementia. But when her father expressed his wish that she share what they were living through right then, there was really no choice. “Before I really lost my father to the fog of dementia, he made me promise him that I would find a way to help other people do what I’m doing ... that’s what put me on this track,” said Perkins. Out of her father’s generous wish came Dementia Home Care: How to Prepare Before, During, and After.

Tracy envisions caregivers who need help grabbing up her book, skimming through the table of contents, and going straight to the pages with realistic suggestions and ideas for that kind of situation. It’s immediate help from someone who has been there with four loved ones. She has been a caregiver for both her parents, an uncle, and an aunt, all with different types of dementia and other health issues.

What to Do with a Master Escape Artist? Tracy’s father had always been skilled at figuring things out. That didn’t change after the family placed

ingeniously found his way out through a window and they would have to find yet another place for him, Tracy and her husband found a way to bring him to their home to live. That meant the higher level of security was now up to them.

Caregivers: Take a Daily Photo Tracy learned from the Alzheimer’s Association to take a daily photo of your loved one each morning. That way, if they take off and become lost, you’ll know what they are wearing that day and can describe it or give the photo to police and others who are helping to find them. She then expanded that technique to solve another challenge—getting her dad to bathe and change clothes, which he regularly resisted.

She had him help her “wrap a present” for someone each night. Unbeknownst to him, a fresh set of his own clothes was in the box. The next morning, while he was having breakfast, she would put the wrapped present in his room. She told him it was from a loved one, and he was excited every day to open it. He wanted to put on his new present and would even agree to bathe. Once he was dressed Tracy took the daily photo of him, telling him they would send it to whichever loved one had sent the package that day. His dementia kept him from remembering the process from day to day. Genius, and fun for Dad! Tracy shares plenty of tricks and hacks she learned for keeping her

escape artist dad safe at home. Disguising exits to “disappear”visually by using one color of paint or murals, making doors look like windows, or posting signs discouraging entry can work well in keeping loved ones from leaving their safe home. Changing how doors work by moving working doorknobs to the very top or bottom of the door or putting locks or alarms on doors and windows. Tracy stresses that not every trick will work for every person. Each family will figure out what works for their loved one through trial and error.

Tracy shares much more of her own hardlearned and hard-earned help in her book and on her website tracycramperkins. com. You can reach Tracy at tracy@ tracycramperkins.com.

Other Home Care Services Many other care services are provided in the home but are not licensed or paid for by Medicare. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you understand what they can offer, access reputable services, and monitor them on an on-going basis.

Non-Medical Aides, Companions and Homemakers There are many types of paid care giving services available— often called non-medical aides,

companions and homemakers— who many people hire privately. If you do, you or your family should check at least two work-related references, develop a specific set of tasks and expectations for the caregiver, arrange to pay all appropriate taxes, and have the required insurance coverage. Caregiver services can also be

arranged through an agency. While this may cost more per hour than hiring an aide yourself, hiring an agency assures you of coverage when the aide is sick, on vacation or quits. The agency also carries liability insurance and is responsible for all employment taxes and employee bonding. An Aging Life Care Manager can help you find a reputable agency and get important questions answered, such as: do they check police and driver license records; do they provide supervision; how do they handle cancellations; and how long have they been in business?

Assistive Technology Continued from page 190 insert, worn on a belt or worn around the neck as a pendant. According to the Montgomery County Police—Project Lifesaver, it is imperative that an individual is found quickly, because for each moment lost, the search grid expands to a size that makes it almost impossible for individuals to be found. With that in mind, when choosing a tracking device, it is important to know how soon the device will notify caregivers the person is wandering. Very few of the devices currently on the market can give an exact location. Newer models also include twoway voice communication.

The assistive technology market also includes devices that can monitor health, sleep patterns and movement in the house. House sensors can monitor water leakage, movement in the bathroom, movement in and out of a bed or a chair, as well as the opening and closing of cabinets or doors. Finally, there are sensors that can turn off appliances if there has been no movement in a certain amount of time. Using the power of new technologies, caregivers can provide independent, safe living environments for their parents or other loved ones and still have peace of mind. By working with loved ones and professionals, seniors can easily create secure environments where they can age in place.

However, one of the most significant contributions of end-of-life doulas is our ability to normalize and facilitate conversations about death and dying.”

Not everyone finds themselves with family or friends to provide the support they need during the dying process. “As more Baby Boomers age, the number of ‘solo agers’ or people aging alone is increasing,” Butler continues. “They may have limited circles of care

Difficult subjects like death are often not broached until they become unavoidable. Unfortunately, waiting until the end may mean it is too late to have meaningful conversations with the person who is dying. Doulas

create safe spaces for open, frank discussions about end-of-life wishes and what types of care and support might be needed. These difficult but important conversations frequently lead to increased emotional and spiritual well-being for all involved. Most importantly, these conversations allow individuals to maintain their autonomy over final decisions and clearly outline their wishes with their loved ones and caregivers.

Doulas can also enhance the services offered by the broader healthcare system. By addressing the gaps that often arise during the dying process, doulas can help alleviate the burden on medical staff and unpaid caregivers. They serve as advocates by assisting clients in finding all the necessary resources and maintaining clear communication among all parties involved in a person's care.

Adult Day Care Providing socialization and care Adult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers, as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis.

Choosing a Provider After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. Insight_SourcebookAd12-2024-bleeds.pdf

While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff-to-participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. 1

12/18/24

Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easyto-understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step in the decisionmaking process. Source www.nadsa.org.
