A Special Tribute
A Best Friend for All By Christy Brudin
B
est friends are rarely forever. And they certainly are not for everyone. Developing a friendship takes effort. Maintaining a friendship is hard work. But Aileen England made it look easy. A retired elementary school teacher and the former Database Manager at Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, Aileen England was a best friend forever— and a best friend for all. On Sunday, July 24, 2016, we all lost a dear friend. A native of Colorado, Aileen and her husband, David, settled in Reston, Virginia, early in their marriage. A devoted mother to their two sons, Robert and James, Aileen was always involved in sports and school activities. She was also always an active member of the Reston community. Her neighbors quickly became her lifelong friends. After all, no one was just an acquaintance of Aileen. “Aileen was our neighbor for 45 wonderful years,” said Jo Koerner. “We were blessed to have her also as a wonderful friend.” Aileen spent 35 years teaching at Lake Anne Elementary School in Reston, Va. Her connections with both colleagues and students were legendary. It is rare for adults to vividly remember their elementary school teachers, but Aileen’s former students do. “Mrs. England was my very favorite teacher at Lake Anne Elementary School,” said former student Laura Killoran. “I have thought of her often throughout my adult years. Please know that she made a huge impact, I believe, in the life of her students; she definitely did in my mine.” Aileen had that kind of influence on not just one student—but on hundreds— during her tenure. Even after her retirement, Aileen continued to be a positive force in the community. Among other activities, she was active in a knitting group and a Mahjong group. Aileen was always dining with friends, going to the theater and attending sporting events.

A retired elementary school teacher and the former Database Manager at SourceBook, Aileen England was a best friend forever—and a best friend for all.
She was rarely alone, and she always made sure no one had to feel lonely. “I felt her warmth and humor the very first time I met her,” said Shirley Lieberman, a member of Aileen’s knitting group. “Of course, she could tell a story like no one I have ever known, often making fun of herself and always keeping us laughing. But then there was the way she would listen—she had a way of making you feel good and as if what was
“Aileen made friends easily, and she made friends forever. In fact, she had more best friends than most people have acquaintances.” going on in your life mattered. Aileen amazed and inspired me, and her love and kindness will always stay with me.” Carol Gross, a friend for 65 years, spent a lot of time traveling with Aileen. “Aileen and I had many memorable experiences as we travelled the globe,” Carol said. “Her passion was helping others realize their dreams. She was always willing to indulge my passion for figure skating, and we attended competitions together.”

It was no surprise that when Aileen launched her second career, her impact only continued to grow. In 1998, Aileen accepted a position as an assistant for one of her son’s friends who had recently started a new business. Steve Gurney, the founder and publisher of Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, needed some help with production and fulfillment. He got a dedicated teammate and a lifelong friend. “When Aileen first started working for SourceBook our operations were based in my basement, and it was just myself, Aileen and my golden retriever,” recalled Steve. “I realized within the first couple of days that I had connected with a very special person.” Steve was immediately impressed by Aileen’s work ethic and natural curiosity. He also quickly realized that she was a person who easily made connections. He explained, “Aileen cared about everyone she came in contact with. Whether it was a reader, an advertiser, a delivery person, or me and my family, Aileen made everyone feel special.” When Steve sold his growing business to an affiliate of The Washington Post, Aileen reluctantly agreed to join him in his new office. Although she was much older than all the other employees, Aileen quickly added even more friends to her

ever-broadening circle. One of those friends was Suzcelle Sembrano, the Production Manager for sister publication Apartment Showcase. “Aileen is a rare gem of a friend. It’s truly been a privilege to have been a part of her big circle of friends,” said Suzcelle. “Her impact on me has been tremendous, and there’s going to a be hole in my heart now that she’s gone.” In 2002, I walked into the SourceBook office and into Aileen’s circle of friends. I was fresh out of graduate school with a Master’s degree in English, a lot of enthusiasm and very limited experience. On my first day of work, I was wearing my new suit and carrying a notepad. I was all business. After making my way past the reception area, I was greeted by Ms. England, who said, “Aren’t you fancy? You must be a real writer.” I laughed nervously and immediately felt at home. What started as a sense of familiarity quickly blossomed into one of the most meaningful friendships I have ever had. I was 24, and Aileen was 65, and we were the best of friends. We laughed, we lunched, and we talked and talked and talked. I learned all about her large group of friends: the neighbors, the knitters, the Mahjong players, and the avid sports fans (including Aileen). Aileen always had a story to tell, and she was one of the best storytellers I ever met. I recall looking forward to Monday morning to hear about Aileen’s weekend adventures. She never disappointed. Of course, Aileen always wanted to hear my stories too. She wanted to know about my friends—about the bars we went to and the concerts we attended. Most of all, she wanted to hear about “the boys”— who was I dating, what did they wear, did they pay for dinner, and would there be a second date. She was a great talker and an even better listener. While we did a lot of talking and laughing, we also got a lot of work done. Aileen and I spent quite a few late nights together making sure that the tables you see throughout this magazine were correct. At that time, this was a laborintensive labor of love. We also spent hours doing fulfillment, setting up excel charts for UPS shipments. I may be the only person on the planet who has fond memories of using the

UPS database—and that’s all because of Aileen—who thought it was so funny whenever my language got colorful when yet another import attempt failed. I always ended up laughing with her. Our relationship quickly grew beyond work. Aileen was the person I told when I was afraid to drive into Washington, D.C., for my very first interview. After all, they don’t teach parallel parking when you grow up on a farm in Southwest Virginia. Aileen called her husband, David, and he graciously agreed to be my chauffeur that day. Once, in the days before GPS, Aileen and I got horribly lost returning to the office after a senior expo. While sitting in traffic, we laughed about how long our journey from Baltimore was taking. What would have been stressful with anyone else was fun with Aileen, who often spoke of that “adventure” fondly. While every day with Aileen was a celebration, she was always quick to find any excuse to create a truly special occasion. SourceBook frequently had “little parties” in the conference room—complete with the placemats, cloth napkins, and serving dishes that Aileen brought from home in a giant picnic basket. Everyone’s birthday was marked with a three-course lunch and white chocolate mousse cake. While we occasionally contributed, Aileen did the lion’s share of the work for these events. She just loved to make us feel special. Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

After four glorious years at SourceBook, I received a job offer and realized it was time to move on. I cried every night for a week. Leaving that wonderful job in that amazing environment was one of the hardest things I ever did. While I loved the work, I really couldn’t imagine facing every morning without Aileen’s smiling face to greet me. Of course, Aileen encouraged me to go and told me I could “write anything I wanted.” While my employers changed several more times, I always maintained my friendship with Aileen. When I worked downtown, she would meet me at restaurants on the metro line every month. We’d have dinner and drinks, and then she’d send me home with a box full of her leftovers. When I transitioned to a stay-at- home mother and freelance writer, my dinners with Aileen changed to lunches with kids. She would marvel at my transition, dig in her purse to find something for the little one to play with, and we would laugh and talk—just like always. Even after Aileen got sick, I continued to see her and she deftly avoided any questions about her health or her ongoing cancer treatments. No matter what was really going on, Aileen always had a smile and a great story to tell. The last time I saw Aileen was just a few days before she passed away. Her voice was weak, and she looked exhausted Continued on page 17

While she never met a stranger, her real gift was turning strangers into friends. Aileen made friends easily, and she made friends forever. In fact, she had more best friends than most people have acquaintances. Ultimately, Aileen England was not just my best friend—she was a best friend for all. And we are all lucky to have known her.

A Band of Sisters By Christy Brudin
S
ylvia, Nancy, Joann and Susan are neighbors, friends and confidantes. They are also sisters. The four sisters are all residents of Carroll Lutheran Village, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Carroll County, Md. A faith-based, not-for-profit community, Carroll Lutheran Village is currently celebrating its 35th anniversary. The community has grown dramatically in the last three decades and now includes nearly 300 apartments, 100 cottage homes, 50 assisted living suites, and 103 skilled nursing and rehabilitation beds. Wellness is a key component of the Village lifestyle. Through the Flourish wellness program, each resident can receive a customized wellness assessment and an individualized plan that focuses on the six dimensions of

wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, vocational and spiritual. Sylvia Creamer, Nancy Coats, Joann Crum and Susan Ridder are minister’s daughters who followed very different paths to the same destination—Carroll Lutheran Village. Their father, Edward A. Godsey, was a Methodist minister for his entire career, and the family moved around the area depending on where he was serving. As adults, the Godsey sisters led diverse lifestyles in various parts of the country, but they ultimately came back together once again to follow in their father’s footsteps—which led them to Carroll Lutheran Village. Rev. Godsey moved to the Village shortly after his wife passed away. “After our mother died, our father heard about this

community that was under construction, and he decided to make the move. He was not doing well without mom, and this was such a good move for him,” recalled Susan. Years later, Susan, the youngest of the four sisters, was actually the first to move to the Village. Susan was a nurse, and she married a doctor she met at the hospital where they were both working. The couple had four children and had been married for 27 years when he died suddenly. Susan continued to live for six more years in the home they had built in Howard County. After her children moved away, she moved to a smaller house, where she met her second husband, Herb, who lived just a block away. By the time Susan and Herb met, he had already reserved a place at Carroll Lutheran Village. One year after their marriage, the new couple moved into a house at the Village. “I was 64 when we met, and I had not been thinking about moving to a retirement community at all,” Susan said. “But I understood he had already made plans to move, and I had been single for 16 years, and I didn’t want to live in the house by myself, eating meals alone, any longer.” A few years later, Sylvia, the eldest sister, followed suit and moved to the Village as well. Sylvia met her husband through the church, while the family was living in Hamilton, Md. Sylvia and Tyson (Pete) Creamer dated through high school and college. One week after her graduation, Sylvia married 2nd Lt., USAF Pete Creamer and honeymooned at SAC Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. There, she taught kindergarten until Pete was reassigned to Hokkaido, Japan. Sylvia went home to Frederick, Md. After the birth of their first child, she and their son joined Pete in Hokkaido until he was reassigned to Ft. Campbell, KY. The young couple lived a typical military lifestyle, moving frequently with their growing family, which eventually included four children. After her husband retired, the family moved back to Frederick, Md., and Sylvia returned to teaching. With the children pursuing their own careers or soon to be, Pete and Sylvia purchased some acreage adjoining her sister Joann’s dairy farm. There, they lived in a log cabin from the 1800s and raised market lambs. Pete learned to shear, and Sylvia learned to spin and talk sheep with anyone who would listen. While she enjoyed the lifestyle, after Pete passed away, Sylvia decided to join Susan at Carroll Lutheran Village. She has since married a local boy, Bob Peterson, whom she met at the Village. Joann also moved following the death of her spouse, Jack. Jack was a farmer, and Joann met him when her father was stationed as a minister at Calvary United Methodist Church in Frederick. “I was a junior in high school when we moved from Baltimore to Frederick, and I felt like I had moved to Alaska— to the middle of nowhere,” she recalled. “I thought it was just awful.” While her initial impression wasn’t positive, Joann became

a longtime resident when she met Jack in church shortly after graduating from high school. The couple moved into an old farmhouse and began renovating, and Joann quickly learned about life on a dairy farm. After raising three sons, Joann and Jack decided to adopt a daughter. When their daughter requested siblings, the family adopted a sibling group of two girls and a boy—bringing their family to seven kids, which the couple raised together. Years later, when Jack died suddenly, Joann remained on the farm briefly, but she quickly decided that maintaining the house and the property was too much for her. “My son wanted me to get off the farm and just buy a little house in Frederick, but then I talked to Susan and Sylvia, who were already living here, and I decided to look at places,” she recalled. “It didn’t take me long to put my deposit down on a house that is just two houses up from Susan’s.” While she lived in Frederick, Joann worked at an assisted living facility as a receptionist. “It was important to me that CLV was a CCRC community, and that I would be moving through the different levels of care, if need be, within the

HOW TO
prepare to move
roll up your sleeves, or let a professional help
T
he organizational and physical challenges of moving can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision as to where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of. Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items you will be able to bring. Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months to plan a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning

your strategy. You might mark off “DDay” (for decision made) and “M-Day” (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, take a general tip from freelancers and independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two!
We are the physical & emotional reinforcements you need.
Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret giving away too much too soon, or to have important things lost in the shuffle.

transitioning parents lessons from one family’s experience n
Editor’s Note: The following excerpt is from Guiding Our Parents in the Right Direction, by Bruce Nemovitz
Recently, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful family as they transitioned their elderly parents from their home of many years to a senior community. Because I was so moved by the way they navigated this process, I asked the three daughters if they would allow me to share their story with you. They graciously accepted. Although we have changed their names and other identifying information, all that happened is true and in their own words. You will find their story unfold in detail throughout the book at the end of some of the chapters. Let me introduce you to them in their own words:
W
e are three daughters in a very typical and loving family of five. Both parents are nearly ninety. They grew up during the Great Depression and married after WWII when Dad returned home from the war. Throughout the years, they have been very independent. Both still are involved with their church. They value being active and independent as this is a very important part of keeping them mentally and physically fit. Until last year, they mall-walked, and Dad kept busy with yard work while Mom hung out the wash, navigating the basement stairs with wash basket in hand. Dad still hunts and fishes, and Mom still cooks, bakes, knits and quilts. As with any siblings, the three of us daughters have unique personalities, talents, temperaments and viewpoints, with an age gap of approximately five years between each of us. However, no matter what our opinions may be, we love each other and our parents dearly.
Due to this love, whatever differences we experienced were resolved by our common goal of doing what was best for our parents. Because of our various talents and different distances to our parents, we each assumed different roles in our parents’ lives throughout the years. It has been hard for all of us to come to terms with the fact that they have aged to the point of moving out of the home they bought new sixty years ago— the home we grew up in, the home they valued and wanted to live in until they could no longer function on their own. It took a while for our parents to realize that time had come. Subsequently, each of us, including our parents, has put part of our lives on hold in order to accomplish the common goal of getting them settled into their new home, while letting go of the old home they loved. After our mother had a mishap, Barbara and Dad were discussing next steps, and he said, “Well, I guess we should move now.” When visiting a few days later, Mom looked at housing prices in the paper, and that opened the door to talk about selling and moving. She said
prices were too low… but at least she was thinking about it! At dinner that night Dad said, “All I do is sleep. I made it to ninety, so I guess it’s time…,” as he jokingly made a motion across his neck. Barbara asked if he had ever thought about moving to a senior retirement facility. He replied that he would like to, “but your Ma’s not very social.” Dad basically felt his life was over, that the recliner was all he had left. Conversations among the three of us through recent years chronicled our parents’ physical decline, as both parents were slowing down, losing strength and in general not as steady on their feet. They began asking for assistance with yard work and financial items, which we all gladly helped with. But we agreed that for their ages, they were doing wonderfully! Then, in the middle of summer, we received a call from Dad saying Mom was in the hospital after falling. The diagnosis was a partially fractured femur. This accident and subsequent surgery was the beginning of our search for a new parental home. We observed just Continued on page 27

HOW TO
sort through items
donating and recycling your belongings
D
onating or giving away household items or recycling them (finding new uses) can be a frustrating and confusing matter. What can you actually give away, and who will take it? This is often the part of the process where people become the most easily bogged down. The following, from Moving On discusses a couple of options when you are sorting through your belongings. Donating and Recycling When people want to donate household items, often the first place they think of is one of the major charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America—and for good reason. These agencies are willing to take many of the things we would like to get rid of and put them to good use by either giving them to the needy or selling them in their thrift shops, with the profits going to support their social services programs. Often these organizations will make it even easier on donors by coming to the home to pick up donated items. And when you give to charitable organizations, your donation is tax deductible. To be considerate when donating, make sure that all clothes are clean and wearable; all appliances are in work-
ing order; and anything with multiple pieces, like children’s games or tool sets, have all the parts intact. Exactly which items charities accept varies from organization to organization and from location to location, so it’s best to contact your local outlet for specifics. Some charities post guidelines on their websites for items they will accept. Most charities accept clothing of all types and shoes for men, women and children, as well as costume jewelry and accessories; appliances in working order and household items; televisions, stereos and computers; books, toys and games; and sporting goods. Most do not accept broken appliances, water beds, furniture in bad repair, magazines or old encyclopedias, bathroom fixtures such as toilets or sinks, tires, paint, swing sets, water heaters, windows or doors. Household items can also be donated to smaller or locally based charities, such as veterans’ associations, churches and synagogues, children’s charities,
and programs for the elderly. Community theaters, women’s shelters, prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes also often accept donations of furniture and household goods. You might also inquire at local schools, preschools, day-care centers, art schools, and after-school programs to see if they could use toys, games, books, desks, art supplies or musical instruments. The following are among the many household items charities and companies may accept: furniture; clothing; computers; cell phones; medical supplies; books; and odds and ends such as fabric, wood, leftover tile or paint.

HOW TO
utilize real estate transactions
transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices Preparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving and setting up a new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing. Step One: Preparing to sell or buy It is important that homeowners select a real estate agent who can meet their distinctive needs. The emergence of specialized real estate designations has made the process of choosing an agent easier. Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES) are licensed Realtors who have received the SRES designation through the national Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the
tastes, the financial and sentimental value of possessions, and the new floor plan.
unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. After finding a qualified agent, homeowners are ready to begin the process of preparing to sell their home. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified professionals to complete such projects. Utilizing the help of professionals to prepare for a sale can ultimately result in a selling price that reflects the top market value for the home.
Step Three: Moving For many, moving day is simple and rewarding due to comprehensive, customized real estate services provided prior to the sale of the house. On moving day, real estate professionals can recommend trusted companies to help with the physical aspects of moving, while providing assistance with the job of unpacking and setting up the new home. Challenges become choices As the challenges of moving fade due to increasingly helpful professionals, people are left with nothing but choices—where to move, when to move, what to take and how to decorate the new home. Individuals considering a move are no longer faced with the difficult questions of how to market their homes and move their belongings, as there is help available every step of the way.
Step Two: Packing and sorting Items should be sorted into distinct categories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away. The initial list of items to keep will likely be larger than the new space can accommodate. Moving professionals, however, can offer advice by taking into account their client’s personal

how much both parents had aged, seemingly overnight. In normal day-to-day life, we had noticed small signs of slowing down, but during this stressful situation, the signs were amplified. Concern quickly increased, not only for Mom but also for Dad, who seemed to become more fragile and worn. Realizing the time had come, we turned to our parents’ Senior Real Estate Specialist, Bruce Nemovitz, who advised us that we needed to get the home ready for sale and that he had all of the contractors needed to do the job. We followed Bruce’s advice for preparing the home to make it look its best, including tackling the downsizing over several months and used his contractors to complete all of the work required. The suggested deadline of having the home ready for sale was met. Our parents are settling into apartment living, starting to participate more in activities, and bring up less often the elderly family and friends who are still living at “home.” Mom has even begun developing a “neighborhood” within the complex as she befriends more people, feels comfortable around them, and talks to us about their news. Mom goes to exercise class, and Dad plays sheepshead. They are going to look into Wii bowling next! Hopefully, they will enjoy their sunset years even more with their new stress-free lifestyle! Their new home provides meals but it also has a full-size kitchen, so Mom can still bake and cook, something she really enjoys. It also allows them to stick to their food budget as much as possible. Another positive is that the dining requirement gets them integrated a little bit quicker as it forces them to meet new people. In addition, we were able to get the complex to accept a donation of Dad’s pool table, making him and the
other residents very happy! If there is one thing we cannot stress enough, it is to let your parents know how much you love them. They need to know that is the reason for wanting them to move; we want them to be safe, happy, healthy and a blessing to us for as long as possible. Do your best to be patient and understanding, as it is a very emotional time for all family members. And always remember, as parents, they have given of themselves unconditionally, now it is time to give back, not out
of obligation, but out of love. That is the circle of life. Bruce Nemovitz has been a Realtor in the Milwaukee area for more than thirtyfive years. Bruce decided to focus his business on the needs of seniors and their family when moving from their long-time home.

HOW TO
obtain legal advice
elder law attorneys cater to your legal needs
S
ince living decisions are becoming increasingly complex, many people find themselves searching for someone who can cater to their specific legal needs. Making sure that you have the right professional for the job at hand is one of the most important tasks in getting any job done the right way. When it comes to your legal needs, there’s no difference. Finding the right attorney may take some research and time, but in the end, it’s always better to have done your due diligence. What is an Elder Law Attorney? An elder law attorney is an individual who specializes in areas of the law that are particularly relevant to senior citizens and their family members. These attorneys generally focus their practices in a few of the following areas: estate planning, long-term care planning, social security, public and private pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, long-term care insurance, age discrimination, durable powers of attorney, living wills, conservatorship and guardianship, or abuse. Elder law attorneys can offer an especially sensitive ear concerning the sometimes difficult decisions involved in
one’s later years. While dispensing legal advice, they are also able to refer clients to other professional and/or non-legal resources that are available to help meet their needs. Do I Need an Elder Law attorney? Because of the expense of legal services, you want to be absolutely certain that your situation necessitates the assistance of a legal professional before hiring an attorney. Before consulting an attorney, you should consider the following questions: Is this a complex legal issue? Is it likely that you will have to go to court? Are there non-legal resources available to help you? Can you resolve this difficulty on your own or with the help of a family member? To pick the right attorney and save yourself time and money, you must know your needs. If you aren’t familiar with your own situation, it can be difficult to explain it to someone else. Know your own financial limitations and the financial benefits of engaging the services of a specific attorney. In other words, only buy what you need and what you can afford. If you only want a will that names your spouse as your sole beneficiary and there are no other needs, you probably don’t need an expensive pack-
age. Be a smart consumer. Who Pays For It? In most cases, you pay for the services of these attorneys. However, there are attorneys who will occasionally take on pro-bono cases or will work on a contingency fee. Local law schools are good places to check for assistance as many students will help low-income or disabled individuals to practice their skills.

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions
T
he most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf. org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource as long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Whether you get a referral or try someone new, keep your options open. A friend may have had a good expe-
rience, but your case is different and you need to decide for yourself. Once you have found an attorney who you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs, as well as the attorney’s billing methods. The questions below will help you get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue and are there alternative courses of action? n What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility? n How many attorneys are in the office and who will handle this case? n How long has the attorney been practicing? n What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of elder law?
How much experience does the attorney have with cases like or similar to yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? If not, who will go to trial for you? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n Are fees computed on a flat or hourly rate and how often does the attorney bill? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred (such as copying, postage, court, messenger and phone fees)? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n Will the attorney require a retainer (money placed in a trust account before services are rendered)? n

HOW TO
understand estate planning and probate
elder law attorneys can help
E
state planning means much more than preparing a Last Will and Testament or tax planning for the disposition of your assets upon your death. Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximize the goals of the estate owner. The goals of estate planning typically include making sure the greatest amount of the estate passes to intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes. Estate planning must also provide for administration and protection of assets during a person’s lifetime and for decision-making in the event of a disabling illness. Any complete estate plan should contain: 1. A Last Will and Testament 2. A durable health care power of attorney naming an agent (and an alternate agent) responsible for medical decisionmaking 3. A living will or other advance directive giving instructions concerning the type of care one wishes to receive (or avoid) in the event of a terminal illness, and 4. A durable financial power of attorney
naming an agent (and an alternate) responsible for asset and financial management if one is unable to do such things for oneself. Estate planning may also include the creation of trusts. Estate planning is an opportunity to make wishes known and to determine what person(s) will be responsible for carrying out those directives. You are able to state your preferences concerning the type of care you receive, what types of medical care you do not wish to receive and can authorize someone to act as your agent in carrying out those wishes. Should you fail to do such planning, then there may be confusion as to what your wishes might have been and who you would have preferred to act as your decision-maker. In fact, without such information, your wishes may never be known. If you do not leave a Last Will and Testament, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestate succession in your state. There are laws in each state governing the rights of surviving spouses, heirs and next of kin in the absence of a Last Will and Testament.
Probate Probate laws, practices and costs vary from state to state. A qualified Elder Law attorney will be able to advise you as to the probate laws, practices and costs in your state. What You Need To Know In preparing an estate plan, it is essential that all of your assets are considered. You should do a complete inventory of all that you own before contacting your estate planner. Your estate consists not only of your home, your car and your bank accounts. Your estate also includes the value of life insurance policies, investments that you may own (including those held in joint tenancy with other persons), your IRAs and other retirement accounts, and any other assets over which you can exercise control. It is extremely helpful for you to have a centralized and secured record of all of your financial accounts; insurance policies; credit, debit or loan accounts; safe deposit box; and account IDs and passwords. You will need to make decisions about what to include in your estate plan. First,

you should determine who will inherit your property upon your death. You must also be certain that your spouse or heirs are capable of managing financial affairs. If capacity or vulnerability is an issue, you may want to name a trustee to handle financial affairs for him or her. You have to designate an Executor or Personal Representative to administer your estate. An alternate Executor or Personal Representative should also be appointed. Special arrangements may be needed if there are particular family issues, such as a second marriage by either spouse. You will also need to list any specific gifts you want to make to family or non-family members and/or to charities. Once these decisions are made and your inventory is completed, your attorney will be able to advise you as to the best technique to use in planning your estate. You should consider your preferences concerning health care options and decide who will be your decision-makers, and do the same with regard to your finances in the event of a disability. Finally, you should give thought to the difficult questions of what type of care you would want or not want in the event of terminal illness. If you have special desires concerning disposition of your remains, such
as burial in a certain place or possible cremation, these should be brought up during your planning conference as well. These are complicated and personal issues. The advice of a qualified Elder Law attorney is essential to protect your financial health and welfare and to ensure that your health care wishes are known and carried out. The Role of the Elder Law Attorney Elder Law attorneys who specialize in estate planning are trained and experienced with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives or living wills, and the intricacies of estate and inheritance taxes. They may recommend accounting services, financial planners or insurance purchases, but they do not earn their fees by selling such products. As a result, you are more likely to get thorough and unbiased advice from a qualified Elder Law attorney. Many Elder Law attorneys have developed special expertise in estate and disability planning and have obtained the specialized knowledge and experience to provide clients with a complete plan for caring for yourself or a loved one, transferring assets, and carrying out all of a clients’ wishes. In addition, Elder Law at-
torneys are sensitive to the special needs of elderly clients and their families. Be certain to assure yourself that the attorney you choose has such experience and training. Attorneys will ask clients for a great deal of information and will request original documents such as deeds, account statements and insurance policies. It is the attorney’s role to assure that all of the elements of the estate plan are properly handled and reviewing names on titles, beneficiary designations and other similar information is part of thorough planning. All of the information provided to an attorney is, of course, confidential and may not be disclosed to others without your permission. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), founded in 1987, is a national association of Elder Law Attorneys devoted to the education and training of attorneys who can meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, and who advocate for the needs of such individuals.

HOW TO
discuss billing methods
understanding the fees and expenses involved Attorneys may bill weekly, monthly or upon completion of work. Discuss how your attorney charges and how often he/ she bills at your initial meeting. It is very important that you understand and feel comfortable in this area. Some attorneys charge by the hour with different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. If this is the case, find out what the rates are. Other attorneys charge a flat fee for all or part of the services, which is not unusual if you are having documents prepared. Your attorney might use a com-
bination of these methods. In addition to fees, most attorneys will charge you out-of-pocket expenses which can include charges for copies, postage, messenger fees, court fees, disposition fees, long distance telephone calls and other such costs. Find out if there will be any other incidental costs. The attorney may ask for a retainer (money paid before the attorney starts working on your case). Usually placed in a trust account, the attorney pays himself or herself out of that account each time you are billed. Expenses may be paid directly
from the trust account. The size of the retainer may range from a small percentage of the estimated cost to the full amount. Ask that your arrangement with an attorney be put in writing either in a letter or formal contract that states the attorney’s services and what the fee and expense arrangement will be. Even if the agreement is oral, you are responsible for all charges for work done by the attorney and his/her staff.

the many benefits of adult family mediation n
By Sig Cohen
Families facing disagreements on issues such as caring for aging parents, encouraging an older adult to stop driving, or equitably distributing trust proceeds are increasingly turning to adult family mediation to settle their differences. Having a neutral third party help a family resolve their disputes is more attractive than the delay, cost and distress of litigation. When family members forge a path forward together, there are no winners or losers. As a result, an elder can look forward to his or her family having less rancor and more mutual respect. Adult family mediation offers families the opportunity to air their concerns in a “safe space.” Sessions are confidential. The process is simple: An adult family mediator confers one-on-one with parties before they meet in a “plenary” session. When they convene, the mediator explains how the discussion will move forward. Then the mediator invites each party (or their attorney) to share their concerns and goals. When a mediator facilitates the discussion, it’s more likely that the parties will listen to the other side and speak without interruption. If an exchange becomes too heated, the mediator will suggest taking a break. Throughout the process, family members are challenged to: (1) identify the issues dividing them, (2) come up with options to settle them, and (3) collaboratively carry out the terms of what they’ve agreed to.
Using a neutral third party to help them resolve disputes may allow families to avoid the delays, costs and stresses involved with litigation.
Mediators do not give legal advice. They recommend parties seek counsel from a qualified elder attorney. Nor are they therapists. Again, they suggest family members meet with a professional in that field. Mediation is future focused. While the process cannot repair the past, it provides an avenue to more peaceful, cooperative family relations in the future. Mediation also affords family members conflict resolution tools, so they can settle future disputes without a neutral third party. Once they’ve successfully settled
their case through mediation, families are more confident in their capacity to resolve future conflicts themselves. Adult family mediation brings out the best in people. When family members engage in mediation, their relationship usually moves from friction to traction and from deadlock to determination to put their issues behind them and create more resilient family bonds. Sig Cohen is a Family and Elder Mediator. More information is available at www. toughconversations.net.

HOW TO
prepare legal documents
advance directives that put your affairs in order
A
dvance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury.
1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, Finding an Agent donation of bodily parts for transplant or An agent under an advance directive research, etc.? has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address legal nuances, personal preferences and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items.
5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

Ag i n g L i f e C a r e The Aging Life Care Association™ (ALCA) developed the standards of practice and code of ethics to guide Aging Life Care Professionals™ in their daily professional and business practices. Additional information, as well as the full code, is available on ALCA’s website: aginglifecare.org.
THE CODE OF ETHICS PROVIDES: Accountability to our Clients ALCA members recognize diversity in our society and embrace a multi-cultural approach to support the worth, dignity, potential and uniqueness of each client. The Code of Ethics acknowledges the vulnerable population we serve and makes explicit the highest standards of practice. Accountability to the Public The Code of Ethics sets a national standard for the professional practice of Aging Life Care™. It defines for the public the ethical responsibilities expected of ALCA’s members and the organization’s role in maintaining the highest standards of practice and promotion of ethical behavior. Education of Aging Life Care Professionals 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. A Framework for Analyzing & Resolving Ethical Dilemmas The Code of Ethics offers a framework for ethical decision-making 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. Assistance in Reviewing Complaints In ALCA’s Peer Review Process the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice serve as the basis for assessing and resolving ethical or business practice complaints against members in their practice of Aging Life Care. THE CODE: ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS OF PRACTICE SUPPORTING THESE PRINCIPLES Integrity An Aging Life Care Professional is honest, diligent, and accountable in the provision of service. An Aging Life Care Professional always acts in a manner that is consistent with the professional values stated in this Code. Loyalty and Responsibility An Aging Life Care Professional is trustworthy and dependable in all aspects of both professional and business relationships. An Aging Life Care Professional maintains confidentiality, avoids conflicts of interest, and always pursues the best interest of clients. Promoting Benefit and Avoiding Harm An Aging Life Care Professional promotes clients’ interests, values, and welfare in order to maximize Continued on page 38

benefits and avoid harm. An Aging Life Care Professional is aware of potential conflicts that may arise when balancing the benefits and risks of interventions being considered.

Respect for Clients’ Rights and Dignity An Aging Life Care Professional treats clients with respect, as complete individuals with their own history, narrative, and unique cultural identity. An Aging Life Care Professional respects the rights of each client, including the right to privacy, and, for the vulnerable client, strives to balance client autonomy with the need for protection and safety. Justice 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.

HOW TO
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. Ideal for retirees, but not limited to those who have stopped working, active
adult communities are full of options and most of the costs are included in the living fees. Homes are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards, so residents can enjoy the tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking paths and fitness centers that are generally available within these communities. When researching this option, start by requesting information packets from prospective communities. Once you have narrowed down your options, schedule visits to each. While you are there, take
thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will enjoy for decades.

HOW TO
receive care for life
continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. There are three basic
types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care at daily or monthly nursing
care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities. While emergency and short-term nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to longterm nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life, and assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

HOW TO
understand entrance fees
knowing the options when paying for Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) Most CCRCs 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 CCRC 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 de-
clines 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 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 par-
The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen and agreement type.

In 1900, Americans aged 65 years or older accounted RISING OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS for about 4 percent of the total U.S. population; by Income levels for aging Americans are increasing, 2050, experts expect that but not as quickly as their medical bills. By 2040: this number will increase to more than 20 percent. The expansion prompts plenty of Median annual out-of-pocket costs for Americans age 65 will nearly double: hard questions. What are some common financial burdens faced by aging individuals, their families and caregivers? And what are some steps our $2,600 $6,200 health care system can take 2010 2040 to alleviate those burdens? MPH@GW, the online MPH offered through the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University, created The Cost of Aging in America, an extensive info graphic previewed on the following pages, to explore some of these issues.

More than
of seniors live below 200% of poverty ($22,002 for individuals who are 65 or older), meaning that many families quickly exhaust their assets and must rely on Medicaid to support their long-term care needs.
Residential care facilities tend to provide care for affluent populations. Residents in assisted living facilities usually self-pay.
Medicaid funds for long-term care have shifted away from nursing homes. However, funding for homeand community-based services has increased from 13% of total funding in 1990 to 43% in 2007.

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings. Some communities
also have tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. Most offer a variety of meal plans with the option to prepare meals in your apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services but some are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers. Paying for Independent Living Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents can purchase their own 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. What to Look For Research your options and request information from those communities to which you have narrowed your focus. A major question for those who are considering an independent living community is how to meet their future health care needs. It is important to have a specific plan covering various levels of care, especially if you are only interested in making one move during this time. You also may want to question whether to select a fee-for-service arrangement or an all-inclusive fee.

Understanding Independent Living in Maryland In Maryland, senior apartments are generally for people age 62 and over, but some will accept younger disabled people. Spouses under age 62 may be allowed. There are usually no supportive services available. Some apartments participate in the “Congregate Meals” program or the “Congregate Housing Services Program,” see below: Congregate Meals Congregate meals are offered in more than 250 meal sites including senior centers, religious facilities, housing facilities or other community sites throughout Maryland. Many meal program locations are within state-ofthe-art facilities and offer a variety of engaging activities such as health promotion and exercise centers. Meal sites offer an opportunity to meet new friends and participate in other social or health-related programs, including nutrition education, physical activity and health screening. In 2009, seniors received nearly 1.5 million meals in congregate settings throughout Maryland. Most senior congregate
nutrition sites offer a hot lunch; however, some congregate settings offer deli lunches, salad bars, soups and sandwiches or evening meals. Breakfast programs are offered in several locations. A variety of culturally-appropriate meals are offered in select locations including kosher, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean. Congregate Housing Services Program The mission of the Congregate Housing Services Program is to provide support services and state subsidies to eligible residents of low and moderate income senior housing who, due to advanced age or chronic health conditions, need daily help with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping and personal services. The Maryland Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations, such as local housing authorities, nonprofit organizations or housing management companies to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program for eligible residents of designated buildings. Eli-
gible residents are those who are at least 62 years of age and in need of assistance with one or more activities of daily living. The program provides meals; weekly housekeeping of each participant’s apartment; and limited personal assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing and laundry. The cost of the Congregate Housing Services Program varies by site. Individual program participants contribute to the cost based on a sliding scale. State subsidies are available for eligible residents of participating sites who require financial assistance. To qualify for a subsidy, an individual’s income may not exceed 60 percent of the State median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple. Currently, there are more than 574 units of Congregate Housing located in more than 25 senior citizen apartment buildings statewide. To view a list of congregate housing sites in Maryland or to receive additional information on local housing programs, contact your local Senior Information and Assistance Program.

HOW TO

F
or individuals who need some assistance with daily activities, assisted living communities are an important option. The living environments and amenities offered by communities vary widely; however, all communities provide residents with some level of daily assistance, which generally includes meal and housekeeping services. What is Assisted Living? Assisted Living communities offer housing and a variety of supportive services delivered by qualified staff members. As opposed to independent living communities, health care services are available at assisted living communities. The Assisted Living Federation of America notes that assisted living is “a unique transition from independent living without care” that “helps seniors enjoy an improved quality of life with independence and care combined.” Community amenities vary widely but can include private units, state-ofthe-art facilities, beautifully decorated common areas, barber shops and beauty parlors, pharmacies, physical therapy services, recreation rooms, libraries, gardening areas, and fitness centers. Consumers will quickly find that assisted living communities, also commonly called residential care facilities or personal care homes, come in a variety

Residents of assisted living usually include anyone who needs some help with the activities of daily life. This includes eating, bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, medication management and walking. Survey data from the National Center for Assisted Living reports that 81 percent of assisted living residents need assistance with one or more of the activities of daily living. Most communities offer three meals a day served in a common dining area. Many also offer some type of assistance with transportation. Housekeeping and laundry services are standard offerings. Staff members are available to meet resident needs 24 hours a day. Most commu-
Choosing a Community It is a good idea to carefully review several of the available options. First and foremost, consider the needs and desires of the potential resident. Begin the initial process of narrowing the search by reviewing a list of all the local communities. Request a brochure from your top choices, as well as other specific information including the resident agreement or contract, a list of services and amenities, detailed prices, staffing information, admission and discharge criteria, and community rules. It is advisable to visit a facility more than once to get a complete feel for the lifestyle at the community. Talk with staff and residents and tour the entire facility.

W
hen considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The National Center for Assisted Living reports that “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

Assisted Living
What is Person-Centered Living? The non-profit national advocacy organization previously known as the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL) is now known as CCAL-Advancing Person-Centered Living. They helped coin the term “person-centered living” that is now commonly heard in the assisted living and personal care field. While the term may be familiar to professionals, it may still be confusing to consumers who are just beginning to investigate assisted living/personal care options. So what is person-centered living? CCAL coined the term person-centered living (PCL) as a reminder that as people grow older or have disabilities they should not experience a loss of humanity or choice regardless of where they live. PCL means living as one chooses to. PCL is based on humanistic beliefs that every individual has a unique background, human experience, and the right to determine how to live his/her own life. PCL is also relationship-based and focused on supporting the individual’s emotional, social, physical and spiritual well being (e.g., belonging, experiencing a continuation of self-worth, purpose, meaning, enjoyment, comfort and opportunities for growth).

Assisted Living
CCAL upholds the PCL principle, “Nothing About Me Without Me.” This simple phrase means that every elder and individual with a disability is provided choice, privacy, dignity, respect, independence and autonomy. Elders and individuals with disabilities have the right to determine their needs; decide how best to have those needs met; and give feedback about the quality and nature of the care, services and supports they receive. If support is needed, supports are centered on their personal preferences and values that honor their selfhood. A person-centered culture is nurturing, empowering and respectful, and it optimizes the well being of not only the elder and individual with a disability but also the family and larger caregiving and/or services and support network. Ultimately, person-centered living means being kind, respectful and sensitive to those being served and honoring their right to make their own choices, regardless of the setting.

HOW TO
find residential living
a more close-knit way of life
A
ssisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well and can enjoy participating in the preparation and serving of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds.
As with any community, it is important to visit the homes to talk with staff and the current residents and their families. Be sure that you are given specific information about caregiver training, community
amenities and costs. For more information, a comprehensive guide to selecting a residence can be obtained through the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living at www.ccal.org.

HOW TO
evaluate nursing care
specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance
W
hile some individuals are able to continue running their households with little assistance, there are those who may have debilitating physical or emotional conditions that require care beyond what family or professional home care aides can provide. It is best to start researching nursing facilities before an emergency arises to avoid making a less than ideal choice.
What is Nursing Care? At a nursing home, 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 homes 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 enter a nursing home for a short-term stay after a surgery or illness, while others enter on a
more permanent basis. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and personal assets are all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 – 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills to all residents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate.
of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints. Visit your prospects at different times of day. Talk with residents. Be persistent about getting your questions answered.
Entering & Adjusting to Nursing Care Although some people enter a nursing home temporarily for a short-term stay, it is still a sad day for most. Reassurance from family and friends that love and contact will be maintained can ease the transition. The following steps may help lessen the trauma of this change: n Talk about the admission in advance and describe the home in detail. n Visit the home with the prospective resident beforehand and get to know the administration. n Involve the prospective resident as much as possible in the decision-making process. n Decide together what items to bring to What to Look For in Nursing the nursing home. n Be available the entire day of admisCare sion to help settle the resident and provide Before choosing a home, contact the support.

ehabilitation Hospitals offer a full continuum of rehabilitative programs and services for individuals who have suffered a major accident or illness, including trauma, stroke, head injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, arthritis, chronic pain, and neuromuscular and pulmonary diseases. A team of highly skilled physicians, therapists, Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses (CRRN®) and support staff provides a more intense regimen, greater therapy time, and increased availability of pharmacy and laboratory services compared to other levels of rehabilitative care. Each Rehabilitation Hospital is led by a medical director who supervises the hospital’s multi-disciplinary team to provide a coordinated program of care including goal setting, treatment plans, family education and discharge planning. Careful physician supervision ensures that all patients’ rehabilitation programs are compatible with and appropriate for their medical condition. Patients at Rehabilitation Hospitals benefit from fully equipped therapy gyms housing the latest in rehabilitative technology. These innovative technologies help patients walk again, regain use

A collective FIM® score is obtained upon hospital admission and discharge.

Use this checklist to judge and compare the nursing homes you call and/or visit • Is the facility Medicare-certified and/or Medicaid-certified? • Are the home and its current administrator licensed? • What type of education and training do staff members have? • How many Registered Nurses (RNs) and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are on staff? • Are background checks conducted on all staff members? • Is there a care plan developed for every resident?
• Are care plans reviewed and updated by providers and family members? • Is the interaction between residents and staff members warm and respectful? • Are public areas and resident rooms clean and comfortable? • Are there a variety of activities available for residents? • What is the staff to patient ratio at night and on weekends?
• Do staff members respond to residents’ requests for assistance promptly? • Are there enough staff members available to assist residents during meals? Does the food in the dining room look and smell appealing? • Are there handrails in hallways and grab bars in bathrooms? • Are exits clearly marked? • Is the facility outfitted with smoke detectors and sprinklers?

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. As you use your resources (like bank accounts and stocks) over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid.
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 Will Medicare pay for nursing a benefit period).

insurance policy to pay for long-term 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 out-ofpocket or with long-term care insurance, you eventually may “spend down” your assets while you’re at the nursing home, so it’s good to know whether the home will accept Medicaid. Check with the nursing home to see if they accept people with Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary 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. Information excerpted from a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publication.

HOW TO
solve long-term care issues
an ombudsman can help
The word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints against specific longterm care providers.Utilizing volunteers, an

If the concern requires a formal investigation, the Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He/she will gather facts and relevant information to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem.
What Can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint investigation and negotiation.

We’ve got you covered for
Memory Care, Senior Living, Nursing & Rehabilitation. HCR ManorCare offers a unique range of care in the Baltimore area under the ManorCare, Heartland, Springhouse and Arden Courts names. By pooling our resources and expertise, we are able to provide carefully coordinated, individualized care options that maximize health, comfort, independence and dignity for our patients, residents and their families.
We’ve got you covered for
Memory Care, Senior Living, Nursing & Rehabilitation. Post-Acute Services
HCR ManorCare’s skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers offer post-acute services for those transitioning from hospital to home. Our ManorCare and Heartland facilities offer specialized quality comprehensive skilled nursing care that helps shorten or eliminate hospital stays, laying the groundwork for a successful return home. Some of these services include: comprehensive skilled nursing care, high-intensity rehabilitation, cardiac recovery, skin and complex wound care, oncology care, head injury and joint replacement recovery. Memory Care
Arden Courts is a memory care community which is 100% dedicated to caring for persons living with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. We’ve considered every aspect of care, including design, staffing and activities, to offer a safe and supportive environment all to help maximize our resident’s sense of independence and self-esteem. Our structured, success-oriented programming, which is ongoing ten hours every day, is tailored for all levels of dementia and utilizes life skills and interests to create an engaging, social environment for our residents. At Arden Courts, we know, we understand, we can help. Because memory care is all we do.
Senior Living
Our assisted living residences provide a sensible mix of security, socialization and health care when needed. Assistance and companionship are never far away, but privacy and independence are always respected. Springhouse is a gracious home specifically for seniors who need extra support and assistance, but do not require the intensive services of a nursing home. We offer the support seniors need to lead full and independent lives. Hospice Services
Heartland Hospice Services are designed to offer support, care and comfort to terminally ill patients. Provided at home, within an assisted living or skilled nursing center our hospice program includes comfort care, pain management, counseling and education for the patient and family, as well as pastoral support.

HOW TO
find hospice care
improving the quality of life remaining
A
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 inpatient hospice residential settings.
How Does One Receive Hospice Care? Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance generally require a prognosis of six months or less for services to be covered. 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. Hospice is unique in that care and support are provided to the entire family, not just the patient. A team of skilled professionals and volunteers work to serve the special needs of everyone involved. Choice is at the center of the hospice approach — a person faced with a life-limiting illness is encouraged to remain in control of his or her life.
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 short-term 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. Adapted from Caring Connection’s and the American Cancer Society’s websites. For How Do I Pay for Hospice? more information, see www.caringinfo.org Most services are fully or partially or the information on hospice care at www. covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private cancer.org.
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.
insurers or prepaid health plans. The nonmedical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little outof-pocket expense.” To receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certifying that they are choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits. Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. In addition to Medicare’s coverage, hospice services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers.
Caring for life throughout the journey with illness and loss is the mission of Hospice of the Chesapeake. We understand that making hospice decisions can be overwhelming and confusing to patients and their families. Our care team is here to help.

Finding a Support Group Many grieving people wonder if they would benefit from joining a support group. Support groups are a time-tested method of help for people struggling with all sorts of difficulties. But groups are not magic: there are no words that can be uttered within a group setting that can make grief disappear.
Will a support group help? Groups are places to work together to support one another; they are places where everyone gives and takes. Not everyone will find a support group suitable; each individual grieves in his or her own way. For many, however, support groups have much to offer, such as: Validation: Grief is experienced in so many ways -- physical, emotional, and spiritual. One needs a place to recognize that these reactions are part of the journey of grief. Being with other grieving people can reaffirm that one is not going crazy. While every loss is unique, through support groups one can bask in the support of others who have experienced loss and understand. Time away: For many people, their support group can be a break in the loneliness and the boredom that often come with grief. Suggestions for coping: There is no one solution to dealing with loss; members of a support groups can offer a range of alternatives. By listening to stories of how others cope with a particular problem, one can find the solution that might work best.
Support groups offer two other gifts. They provide hope by providing models that reaffirm that one can survive loss. Participating in a support group can also help the griever find new empathy, new understandings, and renewed strength.
How to find a group Most hospices provide grief support groups, even to those who didn’t use hospice services. Funeral homes, hospitals, and places of worship will also have grief support resources and may be able to point to a support group. There are also national grief support organizations with local chapters that host support groups.

understanding palliative care Palliative care (pronounced PAHLEE-UH-TIVE) helps a person remain comfortable by addressing issues causing physical pain, emotional pain or suffering. Hospice programs have provided palliative care for the last thirty years. Currently, these programs serve more than 1.2 million patients and their families each year. Now, this very same approach to care is being used by other healthcare providers, including teams in hospitals, nursing 104

facilities and home health agencies. To palliate means to make comfortable by treating a person’s symptoms from an illness. The goals of palliative care are to improve the quality of a seriously ill person’s life, and to support that person and their family during and after treatment. Hospice focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting patients with a life expectancy of months, not years. However, palliative care may be given at any

Myths and Facts About Hospice Myth: Hospice is where you go when there is “nothing else to be done.” Reality: Hospice is the “something more” that can be done for the patient and the family when the illness cannot be cured. It is a concept based on comfort-oriented care. Referral into hospice is a movement into another mode of therapy, which may be more appropriate for terminal care. Myth: Families should be isolated from a dying patient. Reality: Hospice staff believe that when family members (including children) experience the dying process in a caring environment, it helps counteract the fear of their own mortality and the mortality of their loved one. Myth: Hospice care is more expensive. Reality: Studies have shown hospice care to be no more costly. Frequently, it is less expensive than conventional care during the last six months of life. Less high-cost technology is used and family, friends and volunteers provide 90 percent of the day-to-day patient care at home. Additionally, patients eligible for Medicare or Medicaid will pay few out-of-pocket expenses related to their hospice care. Most private insurers also cover some or most hospice related expenses. Myth: You can’t keep your own doctor if you enter hospice. Reality: Hospice physicians work closely with your doctor of choice to determine a plan of care.

HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option Certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address dementia special care units. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they have had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care
unit; others feel that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment. Before choosing a special care unit, you should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit.
Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety. Researching special care residences can ensure your loved one will receive the proper support he/she needs.

alzheimer’s: the facts and figures
alzheimer’s association report sheds new light on scope of disease
A
lzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and is the only leading cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. Based on 2010 data, Alzheimer’s was reported as the underlying cause of death for 83,494 individuals – individuals who died from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures reveals that in 2013 an estimated 450,000 people in the United States will die with Alzheimer’s. The true number of deaths caused by Alzheimer’s is likely to be somewhere between the officially reported number of those dying from and those dying with Alzheimer’s. Human and Financial Toll of Alzheimer’s More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Without the development of medical breakthroughs that prevent, slow or stop the disease, by 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease could reach 13.8 million. Previous estimates suggest that number could be high as 16 million. Alzheimer’s and dementia place an
enormous burden on individuals and families. In 2012, there were more than 15 million caregivers who provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion. Individuals with dementia often require increasing levels of supervision and personal care as the disease progresses. As symptoms exacerbate as the disease progresses, the high levels of care required by family members and friends can often result in increased emotional stress and health challenges for caregivers. Due to the physical and emotional toll of caregiving, Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers had $9.1 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2012. The burden on the nation’s health care system and government programs is also enormous. According to Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures, the total
payments for health and long-term care services for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias will total $203 billion in 2013, the lion’s share of which will be borne by Medicare and Medicaid with combined costs of $142 billion. Despite these staggering figures today, by 2050 total costs will increase 500 percent to $1.2 trillion. “Alzheimer’s disease steals everything — steadily, relentlessly, inevitably. With baby boomers reaching the age of elevated risk, we do not have time to do what we have always done,” said Robert Egge, vice president of public policy for the Alzheimer’s Association. “The National Institutes of Health needs to reset its priorities and focus its resources on the crisis at our doorstep, and Congress must fully fund implementation of the National Alzheimer’s Plan to solve the crisis.” The Alzheimer’s Association is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research and offers a variety of educational and support resources, including its 24/7, toll-free Helpline (1.800.272.3900), care consultation and online resources.

care contributors sacrifice own care new report shows financial burden of caring for people with alzheimer’s disease
T
he personal financial support required by a person with Alzheimer’s disease may ultimately deprive care contributors of basic necessities, such as food, transportation and medical care, according to the 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report. Alzheimer’s Association’s Facts and Figures shows that these care contributors were 28 percent more likely to eat less or go hungry while contributing care to someone with Alzheimer’s, and one-fifth of them sacrificed their own medical care by cutting back on doctor visits. Overall, nearly half of care contributors cut back on their own expenses to afford dementia-related care for their family member or friend. Today it is estimated that 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, and nearly 16 million family members and friends are caregivers providing financial, physical and emotional support. On average, care contributors, many of whom do not live with the person they’re caring for, spent more than $5,000 a year of their own money to care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease.
with Alzheimer’s, leading to an average loss of income of around $15,000 compared to the previous year. To help care contributors financially plan for the future, the Alzheimer’s Association suggests the following: • Look at retirement planning as a time to think about how to prepare for the need for long-term medical care. After an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, your options may be more limited. • Conduct an inventory of your financial resources. A financial planner or elder care attorney can help with this. • Investigate long-term care services (for example, home care, assisted living residences and nursing homes) in your area. Ask what types of insurance they accept and if they accept Medicaid as few individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias have sufficient long-term care insurance or can afford to pay out-ofpocket for long-term care services for as long as they are needed. • Call the local Agency on Aging to deThe financial burden of dementia is termine what community services and compounded for many care contributors, support programs are available. as more than one-third reported having For more information, visit alz.org or to reduce their hours at work or quit their job entirely while caring for someone call 800-272-3900.

Currently, it is estimated that more than 5 million Americans are living with the brain disorder, and that number is expected to triple by mid-century. Together, Perkins Eastman and the AFA developed “Excellence in Design” with the goal of fostering a continuous dialogue within the architectural and interior design community, as well as the long-term care industry about how best to design supportive and therapeutic residential settings for the dementia population. AFA originally approached Perkins Eastman to explore the intersection of dementia care and forward-thinking senior housing design. The resulting report illustrates how experts’ evolved understanding of the disease has inspired the design of flexible facilities with first-

The report also details all aspects of an environment’s impact on daily living. “Everyone wants—and deserves—a supportive place he or she can call home,” says Emily Chmielewski EDAC, an Associate with Perkins Eastman and the report’s author. “Our goal in developing this report was to present a philosophy of both care and design that will help change Tell them you saw it in the SourceBook

the long-term care landscape to meet the needs of residents, their families and professional caregivers.” According to Carol Steinberg, AFA’s president and a key contributor to the report, “We are enormously grateful to the Perkins Eastman team for taking on this important project. Where and how people with dementia live is an essential conversation, from medical, economic, social and practical perspectives.” Steinberg continues, “In the absence of a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, care is critical. This report presents practical building blocks for improving the overall care experience both for residents and their families.” The full report is available online: http://www.alzfdn.org/documents/ ExcellenceinDesign_Report.pdf. The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (www.alzfdn.org) is a national non-profit organization that unites more than 1,700 member organizations nationwide with the goal of providing optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families.

HOW TO
remain at home
receive assistance while enjoying the comforts of home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care includes companion care, home healthcare, or skilled nursing. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of the tasks that family members would
typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of companion care providers are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available. HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exercises, housekeeping, laundry,

medication reminders and transportation. SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed by a physician and is administered by a registered nurse. The services provided by skilled nurses include: administering injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more. Finding a Provider After determining the type and amount of services needed along with payment options, consumers should begin interviewing potential providers. This is a highly important decision, since finding a qualified, reliable and compassionate individual is essential to the health and happiness of patients and their families.

Selecting a Home Care Provider: A Checklist Before hiring a home care provider, you will want to learn more about their services, reputation and track record. The questions below will help you have productive conversations with providers and their professional references. How long has this provider been serving the community? Does this provider supply literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, fees and funding sources? Many providers furnish patients with a detailed “Patient Bill of Rights” that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the providers, patients and caregivers. n How does this provider select and train its employees? Does it protect its workers with written personnel policies, benefits packages and malpractice insurance? n Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient’s home care needs? If so, what does this entail? Do they consult the patient’s physicians and family members? n Does this provider include the patient and his or her family members in developing the plan of care? Are they involved in making care plan changes? n Is the patient’s course of treatment documented, detailing the specific tasks to be carried out by each professional caregiver? Does this provider take time to educate family members on the care being administered to the patient? n Does this provider assign supervisors to oversee the quality of care patients are receiving in their homes? If so, how often do these individuals make visits? Who can the patient and his or her family members call with questions or complaints? How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems? n What are the financial procedures of this provider? Does the provider furnish written statements explaining all of the costs and payment plan options associated with home care? n What procedures does this provider have in place to handle emergencies? Are its caregivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? n How does this provider ensure patient confidentiality? n n

HOW TO
maximize social security benefits
Too many people end up getting less than what’s due to them from Social Security when they retire because they don’t know the rules and the real financial impacts, says independent retirement advisor and CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors Gary Marriage, Jr. “There’s a lot of talk about the future of Social Security, but we still have this benefit, and if you’re 50 or older, you should be planning to make the best use of it,” Marriage says.
will suddenly vanish, so they want to get what they can as quickly as possible – at age 62. But if you’re counting on those benefits as part of your income, you should wait until you’re eligible for the full amount. That’s age 66 if you were born between 1943-54, and age 67 if you were born in 1960 and later. The average retirement benefit in June of this year was 1,222.43, according to the Social Security Administration. People born in the 1943-54 group who Waiting May Be the Best are eligible for that amount at age 66 will Option get just $916.82 a month if they retire at Many people are understandably ea- 62. If they live to age 90, that’s a total of ger to retire as early as possible; others $308,052.36. Waiting until age 70 can fear Social Security retirement benefits make retirees eligible for a bump in ben-
efits – up to 8 percent a year – but there are no increases if you delay longer. Divorce May Not Eliminate Spousal Benefits If you are divorced, were you married for a decade and aren’t currently remarried? You may be eligible to receive benefits based on the former spouse’s work record. Here are some of the other requirements: you must be age 62 or older, and the former spouse must be entitled to receive his or her own benefits. If the former spouse is eligible for a benefit, but has not yet applied for it, the divorced spouse can still receive a benefit. Additionally, two years must pass after the divorce.

Understanding Home Health Care Benefits 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: • Home health aide services on a part-time or intermittent basis, as long as there is a skilled need • Medical social services • Certain medical supplies • Durable medical equipment (wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, etc.) Given the services and products that Medicare does cover, it is also valuable to take note of what is not covered. Care that is required 24 hours a day will not be covered. Other services not covered include personal care provided by home health aides such as bathing and dressing, along with homemaker services like cleaning and laundry. Also not included are home-delivered meals. If you require care that goes beyond intermittent visits for a limited amount of time, or if your needs are not covered by Medicare, an important option to consider is private duty home care. For more information on Medicare coverage, visit medicare.gov. Information Provided by Family & Nursing Care/Legacy Home Care and adapted from medicare.gov.

assistive technology can help
T
he world of technology is exploding with options that could allow seniors and baby boomers to live in their homes longer. So why aren’t they all taking advantage of available technologies? The simple answer is because most of the people who would benefit from these technologies are unaware that they exist. We are all familiar with the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial advertising wearable pendants that can be pressed when a person needs help. But there is so much more available today. There are currently devices available that can visually and audibly alert individuals when it is time to take their medication. Given the fact that approximately 40 percent of nursing home admissions are the result of individuals being unable to take medication without supervision, these devices can help more seniors remain at home. Sold in varying shapes and sizes, holding large to small pills, medication management devices can beep, flash, and text patients and caregivers when it is time to take a medication or text when a medication is missed. They can be purchased with monthly services to allow distant caregivers the ability to manage medications. Devices range from $299.00 to $999.00.
Tracking devices are also available that allow people to be found quickly if they wander. These tracking devices can be worn as watches, placed in a shoe as an 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 two-way 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

pay for home care As the decision to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicarecertified agency. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care
and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for lowincome individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from state to state, you will need to contact your local Area Agency on Aging for more information concerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy. To be covered, care must
be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also cover a limited number of skilled home visits. Costs for these services vary greatly depending upon coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Contact your local Office on Aging or State Department of Health to find out if there are funds from social services block grants available to cover home care costs.

HOW TO
make aging in place possible
professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life becomes too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing remodeling projects and addressing common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS is that they draw from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized
and thorough plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typical modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, higher countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites and elevators. CAPS are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aestheticallypleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. The CAPS designation was developed by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.
(NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.
Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers
If facing this decision, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision:
1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or
otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?
homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.”
2. Are social security, federal and state
5. Are criminal history background checks,
3. Is there verification that the paid
6. Is there bonding and insurance in place
taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible?
caregivers can legally work in the U.S.?
4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who
is responsible? Remember that many
state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?
that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury or damages related to the caregiver(s)
working in the home.
7. A ssuming family is not available to
supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services? If the adult caregiver does not have the time or resources available to answer these important questions, the services of a professional home care agency or adult day care center may be the right solution.
We are Medicare certified and accept many private insurance programs. Using home health services helps bring the best possible outcome with patient centered services.

Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n
Small valuables Irreplaceable or sentimental items Small family heirlooms

understanding telemedicine a game changer for Senior Health Care
L
arry, a 72-year-old retirement home resident with high blood pressure, is experiencing a host of unpleasant side effects with his latest medication. Through a brief twoway video call, Larry consults with his regular physician, who writes him a new prescription. Going forward, he and his doctor chat weekly via video teleconference to make sure he is adjusting well to the new drug. This regular, personalized interaction allows Larry to get the monitoring he needs while avoiding the hassle of weekly doctor visits. Although the story above is fictitious, scenarios just like this are happening all across the nation in growing frequency. While health care for retirees once meant repeated trips to the doctor’s office, many are now able to receive highquality medical services without leaving the comfort of home. And it’s all because of telemedicine.

Decreased hospitalization rates. In North Carolina, telemedicine is helping aging adults remain in their homes longer through RPM. Patients with diagnoses such as heart failure, COPD, and diabetes were monitored by telemedicine technologies at home in between skilled nursing visits. Both response and intervention times improved dramatically. According to another study, RPM has the potential to prevent between 460,000 and 627,000 heart failure-related hospital readmissions every year. Prolonged autonomy. Evidence shows that telehealth supports the increased emphasis on aging in place. A Pennsylvania nonprofit that runs senior living communities reduced the percentage of patients moving into nursing homes from 20 percent to 12 percent. This was achieved by having frail patients wear monitoring devices that alert nurses immediately to a fall via text message, which allows for more rapid intervention. Improved quality of life. One analysis revealed that, compared to conventional home care, home telehealth services improved access to care, patients’ medical conditions, and quality of life. The results of another study
showed that a two-month telemedicine program led to lower scores for depression and anxiety in cardiac patients. Patients who participated in the program also had 38 percent fewer hospital admissions and 31 percent fewer readmissions.
conditions may simply not be possible with telemedicine, and may ultimately necessitate an in-person visit. A promising future, nonetheless All concerns aside, telemedicine holds tremendous promise for our aging population. And providers are catching on: As of 2013, 52 percent of hospitals utilized telehealth services, and another 10 percent were actively beginning to implement them.1 In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) extended Medicare coverage to include seven new telehealth services for beneficiaries in certain regions, giving providers even more incentive to embrace this exciting revolution in health care delivery. Would you like to help improve access to health care through telemedicine?

The challenges Despite its many perks, telemedicine is not without disadvantages. Like any technology platform, telehealth communication systems may be disrupted due to electronic glitches, bad weather, slow Internet connections, and other factors. And while confidentiality rules apply to telemedicine just as they do in face-to-face interactions, electronically transmitted information is susceptible to hackers. Patients should understand their legal rights as far as privacy and be sure they know how to use the technology properly. Additionally, although the situation is slowly improving, not all insurers reimburse for telemedicine-based services. Those that do, like Medicare, may provide limited coverage. Perhaps the biggest drawback of telehealth is the most obvious: the inabil1 ity for a provider to perform a physical American Hospital Association. The exam.

overnment agencies are an invaluable resource and can serve as clearinghouses for much needed information and provide a vital connection to programs and services. The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 created the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a national network of agencies that promote and protect the health and well-being of older adults. Amendments to the OAA provided grants to Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), giving them the resources to identify local needs and plan and fund local programs. The Department of Health & Human Services describes this comprehensive network as the National Aging Network. The key components of this network, which serves seven million Americans age 60 and over as well as 325,000 caregivers, are the Administration on Aging, the State Units of Aging, and the Area Agencies on Aging.
In addition to recommending policy and developing regulations, AoA is also responsible for providing grants to worthwhile projects. policy and developing regulations, AoA is also responsible for providing grants to worthwhile projects. The AoA can be reached at www.aoa.gov or 202-6190724.
Eldercare Locator In an effort to provide nationwide information assistance to the general public, the AoA developed the Eldercare Locator in 1991, connecting Americans and their caregivers with information about local services. The program puts individuals in touch with local AAAs and other community-based organizations.

Universal Design
Creating spaces designed for convenience, safety and economy Universal design is a method of designing and remodeling buildings and products to make them more inclusive. These carefully designed spaces and items are more accessible for older people and people with disabilities, as well as for people without disabilities. Universal design concepts can be applied throughout the home environment to make the space safer and more accessible for all occupants.
Stairways The optimal home would have all living areas on one level with no stairs. However, most homes in the region feature living areas on multiple levels which makes the stairway a critical element of design. Some solutions include: n Adequate
grip rails on both sides that extend beyond the landings n Lighting on and around the stairway n Contrasting
colors to provide visual cues n Floor treads n Chair lifts, platform lifts, elevators
Bathrooms A well-designed bathroom starts with ample lighting and non-slip surfaces. Additional features can be incorporated that can make your experience in the bathroom enjoyable and safe including: n
Motion-sensing lighting n Open storage shelves and hooks n Telephone and intercom system by the toilet n Adjustable
height showerhead n Removable transfer seat into a bathtub n Low/no threshold shower n Molded-in or fold-down seat in shower n Elevated toilet or adjustable toilet seat n Auto-flush toilet n Grab bars n Height-adjustable or English style rollunder sink n Lever handle or motion-sensing faucets n Tilting mirrors to improve visibility
Kitchens Well designed kitchens can accommodate the different heights and abilities of family members or visitors to the home. Some designs and products to consider include: n Varying
counter heights n Elevated dishwasher n Roll-out & pull-down shelves n Swiveling cabinet doors with lazy Susan
style shelving n Rolling carts
n
Dark and light colors for visual contrast n Pull-out countertops below ovens n Side-by-side
refrigerator n Knee space underneath cook tops and sinks n Front control touchpad appliances n Heat-proof surfaces n
Eliminating sharp corners n Additional lighting including under-cabinet lighting n Ergonomic utensils & products

continuing education
providing learning environments for senior-serving professionals
T
here is no question that the population of Baby Boomers and their aging loved ones is rapidly increasing. Therefore, understanding the needs of these groups and the issues affecting them has never been more important. What some may not realize, however, is that various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is one such school reaching out to professionals with its Odyssey Certificate on Aging. The core and elective courses have been constructed with a broad range of disciplines in mind and are especially relevant to caregivers, clergy, financial planners, lawyers, nurses, social workers, volunteers and work/life planners. However, admission to individual courses is open to any interested adult. Students receive the Certificate on Aging upon completing four required courses, four electives and a capstone project that allows them to delve into a topic of their choice with the supervision of a faculty adviser. Examples of
required courses include ‘Public and Private Programs for the Elderly’ and ‘Biological Aspects of Aging,’ while electives vary with ‘Aging, Nutrition and Fitness;’ ‘Counseling, Case Management and Older Adults;’ and ‘Death, Grief and End-ofLife Planning.’ Designed to address the ethical, financial, legal, medical and psychological issues facing the fastest growing population in the U.S., Odyssey and similar programs allow professionals to better serve the seniors they care for on a daily basis. Like JHU, McDaniel College features programs in Gerontology through The Center for the Study of Aging (CSA). Here, required courses and electives from 12 departments and programs are offered including social work, communication, exercise science and physical education, biology and religion. The Erickson School of Aging Studies is another program that strives to educate leaders with the goal of improving society for older adults. Focusing on Aging, Management and Policy, the program enables students to immerse themselves in several disciplines using an active learning environment.
Various educational institutions have implemented programs designed for those interested in or currently serving seniors and their families.
The Odyssey Certificate on Aging and similar programs are helping professionals improve the lives of older adults one class at a time. Through active learning environments, professionals in the field are gaining a greater understanding of the decisions facing today’s Boomers, ultimately helping them to enhance options for this growing group.
The Certificate on Aging at Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins Certificate on Aging is designed to meet the needs of those who serve aging adults and their families, offering a well-rounded curriculum suited for financial planners, nurses, lawyers, social workers, clergy, care-givers, volunteers, work/life planners, and others.
The Certificate on Aging: » Affordable » Exceptional faculty » Flexible, evening classes
» Part-time » No tests or grades » No admission requirements
Continuing education units available for social workers and professional counselors and therapists. For more information: advanced.jhu.edu/certificate-on-aging 410.516.7428

the neighborhood you dream about the village movement is prompting communities to think about creative solutions for aging in place
I
magine you are living in a community where you know your neighbors. Imagine that your patio needs weeding, and you prefer not to do it. In this neighborhood, a simple phone call can have someone over to take care of your weeding. Perhaps you need some home repairs, or you are returning home from the hospital after surgery and need some assistance. In this neighborhood, you can get assistance from trusted volunteers and providers with one phone call. This type of neighborhood is becoming a reality, and the Washington, D.C. region and the state of Maryland are the launching pad for several.
How it All Started Nearly 90 percent of Baby Boomers say they want to stay in their homes and close to family and friends as long as possible, according to a survey by AARP. The challenge these individuals face, however, is that if they do nothing to prepare for future needs, they may not be able to continue living in their homes as long as they would like. Residents of Beacon Hill, a downtown Boston neighborhood, responded to the challenge of staying in their community by joining their neighbors to take control over where and how they will live in the years to come. They formed

a non-profit, Beacon Hill Village, which serves those aged 50+ in central Boston, to take advantage of social, cultural and wellness activities without leaving their homes. The various services provided are designed to respond to the members’ specific needs and wants and include concierge services, comprehensive home care, home repair, house cleaning, grocery shopping, transportation and other services. Where it is Going The original Beacon Hill has now grown to nearly 400 members. The innovative concept has also grown exponentially. Hundreds of other communities have been founded based on the same principles in the United States and beyond. In fact, by the tenth anniversary of the original Beacon Hill, more than 60 Villages had opened. These Villages are all connected through the Village-to-Village Network, which is a means for villages to learn from each other, exchange ideas, pool resources and share tools.

Customized to the Neighborhood The design and implementation of individual villages is customized to the needs and wants of the specific neighborhood. Most of these groups have

A d u lt Day C e n t e r s
HOW TO
find daytime supervision
centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers
A
dult 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 Information on local Adult Day Centers may be available through senior centers, family physicians or the local Area Agency on Aging. After locating nearby providers, call them to request flyers, brochures, calendars and application information.
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. 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, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program. The layout of the building and the rooms should ensure easy accessibility for persons in wheelchairs or using walkers. The entire facility should be clean and pleasant. Furniture should be sturdy and comfortable, with choices available for lounging and participating in activities. Beyond the general setup of the facility, focus on the interaction between the

staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easyto-understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother.
