Proper care for the elderly Dear Readers: Being a good neighbor can be more complicated than it sounds, at least when it comes to finding financial help for the elderly who are seeking home care. That’s what experts in the field have discovered, and I am very grateful that so many of them spelled out the problems and offered possible solutions for helping out. Here are two wonderful letters from experts in the field: Dear Annie: As a longtime registered nurse and expert in home health care services, I am writing in response to the neighbor who was so kindly assisting her 90-year-old neighbor. I want to provide some alternatives for her to seek out. A hospitalization for a social issue like this is not likely, and Medicare home health care requires that there is a skilled need for nursing or rehabilitation therapy. From my reading of this case, the 90-year-old is not likely skilled. In addition, even if she did meet the skilled requirement, there is a national shortage of home health aides due to COVID19, so there is little likelihood of her being able to get 24 hours of care per week. Two things that the kind neighbor may try instead would be to call the local Area Agency on Aging and the 90-year-old’s primary care provider. There is a

provider through AAA in every state, and they have case workers and social workers who can work with the neighbor on available services. Service availability varies by state, municipality and region, so it is impossible to make a general statement about what is available, but they can certainly start the process to obtain services. The 90-year-old’s primary care provider will also be familiar with the organization that is the best to call, and it may take the primary care provider to make a referral to start services. I hope this is helpful. I am glad to answer questions. Thank you for your kind response to a wonderful neighbor. — Liz Madigan, RN Dear Annie: I love your column, but the information you provided in “How Can I Help My Neighbor?” is incorrect and misleading. I am a licensed clinical social worker in California with 20 years of experience working for a skilled home care department of a hospital. Medicare does NOT cover 28 hours per week of in-home care. It only pays for skilled care, i.e., nurses, therapists (physical, occupational, speech), and home health aide and social workers. These are visits of
30-60 minutes for typically up to a few weeks. People who need “custodial care” must typically hire private help unless they have longterm care insurance, are very lowincome (on Medicaid), or eligible for veterans’ services. Custodial care, also known as “shift care,” can help with bathing, dressing, meals and light housekeeping. Medicare covers up to 100 days at a skilled nursing facility in rare situations and only after a “qualifying stay” at a hospital. The more likely range of time is 20 days. Many people living full time at a nursing home have exhausted their financial resources, and then Medicaid can become a reimbursement source. My patients are often shocked to hear that Medicare doesn’t pay for home health services. It’s a shame people aren’t better informed because then they are ill-prepared. The Medicare verbiage is bureaucratic and confusing. The caring neighbors could contact Adult Protective Services and report self-neglect. APS could evaluate the eligibility for low-income or private hire services, or placement at a nursing home. They could call the distant family neighbors and explain the
details. This is a tough situation and very prevalent. Good luck responding in the future to this common situation. We are an aging society and the wave is just starting. Help people plan ahead with realistic expectations. Thanks for your fine work. — Mary McClain, LCSW Dear Liz and Mary: Thank you for your very informative letters. You are helping many readers by sharing your expert advice.
Therapy with a narcissist Dear Annie: While reading the letter from the “Parent Who Does Not Want to Get Divorced,” the way she was describing her husband sounded very much like he might have narcissistic tendencies. My husband is a narcissist, and the worst thing you can do is go to marriage counseling. I know that sounds crazy, but very few counselors know how to handle narcissism, and because of this, counseling will often only make things worse. Therapists always approach counseling with the belief that they’re dealing with two people who both want to work together and find resolution. However, with a narcissist, their only concern is their image and being right, not in finding common ground to grow from, which makes progress next to impossible.

And honestly, in my experience, they will usually twist everything during the counseling sessions to make the other spouse the bad guy, which only makes you feel more crazy. I’ve found far greater success keeping myself in individual counseling so I can be the healthiest version of me, which then changes how I respond and react to my husband. That is the only way I have ever seen true and sustainable changes in our marriage, and it’s the only thing that’s helped me keep my sanity. — Went at It Alone Dear At it Alone: Congratulations on taking the first step toward a healthy relationship and seeking counseling for yourself. But don’t give up on marriage counseling. A well-trained therapist will be able to see your husband’s narcissism and help him, and you, soften it. Your husband
might end up in counseling by himself as well. Remember, the goal is not to stay in therapy forever; the goal is for you to understand what you need (you are doing that with your individual therapist), for him to understand what he needs (hopefully he will see someone himself ) and for the two of you as a couple to talk through what your relationship needs to flourish. Your willingness to look at yourself is great. From that place, you can help your husband get into counseling. “Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie” is out now!
