Letter from the Editor Dear Readers, Welcome to Retirement Connection Guide of Greater Portland/Vancouver. We have received much positive feedback and truly appreciate all of your comments, suggestions, and most of all—your support.

Alzheimer’s Association: Six Out of Ten People with Alzheimer’s Will Wander It is common for a person with dementia to wander and become lost; many do so repeatedly. You can not know when it will happen. In fact, over 60% of those with dementia will wander at some point during the course of the disease. Wandering can be dangerous—even life threatening—for the person who wanders. The stress can weigh heavily on caregivers and family.

There are various reasons for wandering which can include:  Confusion at certain times of the day or night.  Inability to recognize familiar people, places, and objects.  Fear arising from the misinterpretation of sights and sounds.  Desire to fulfill former obligations, such as going to work or looking after a child.

To enroll a person with Alzheimer’s disease in MedicAlert + Safe Return, update a current enrollment with a member’s medical information or learn more about the program, contact the Alzheimer’s Association at 1.800.272.3900, your local chapter or MedicAlert at 1.888.577.8566. You may enroll a person or update a member’s medical information online at www.alz.org/ SafeReturn or www.medicalert.org.

In an emergency every second counts. In a move to significantly improve the safety of individuals with Alzheimer’s or related dementia, MedicAlert and the Alzheimer’s Association have formed an alliance to offer MedicAlert® + Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return. This is a live, 24-hour emergency service for wandering and medical emergencies.

The Alzheimer’s Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer research and support, is advancing progress in prevention, treatments and an eventual cure and provides support for all those affected by the disease. Memory Walk is the Alzheimer’s Association’s signature event for awareness and fundraising. It is a noncompetitive walk, and a festive event for families, coworkers, and friends of all ages.

When a person with dementia wanders or becomes lost, his or her information and photo is provided to local law enforcement.

Please join us at Pioneer Courthouse Square Sunday, September 27, 2009 9:00am Registration, 10:00 am Walk begins

 In search of an object.

12

When a person is found, a citizen or law official calls the 800-number on the identification product and the individual’s family or caregivers are contacted. The nearest Alzheimer’s Association office provides information and support during search and rescue efforts. Should medical attention be required, access to a personal health record is immediately available.

When it comes to health care, prevention is key. It’s always best to avoid getting sick than to get sick and be treated. That’s why regular health screenings are so important.

Necessary and suggested screenings vary by age, but there are several that senior adults should consider and be aware of.

Screenings you may simply

need to be reminded of  Blood pressure and cholesterol: You need to watch these, since heart attacks are the number one cause of death in older Americans. This screening can help reduce your chances for a heart attack.  Blood sugar: High blood sugar levels can lead to heart problems, kidney disease, eye damage, nerve disease and other serious problems.  Mammograms: Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. Women should get annual mammograms, starting at age 40.  Colon cancer screening: While often associated with men, colorectal cancer is actually common in both men and women, usually in those over 50, but the risk increases with age. Treatment works best when found early.

Screenings you may not know you need  Bone density screenings: These are important because they help identify osteoporosis, or weak bones. It’s as simple as a quick heel scan and can help you take action before your bones become brittle.

Care & Health

Screening your way to a healthier life

 Glaucoma screenings: Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by extra fluid pressure in your eye. It can cause you to gradually lose sight, often without symptoms.  Flu shots: You should get one every year.

They’re free for anyone in Medicare. You can’t get the flu from getting the flu shot!  Pneumococcal vaccine: This vaccine prevents the spread of pneumococcal disease, caused by a common bacterium, and which may cause the most common form of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.

 Prostate cancer screening: Starting at age 50, men should get checked annually.

There are a variety of ways your doctor can test for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is treatable when caught early.

Telephone Assistance Programs help Oregonians In 1987, Oregon Legislature passed a law assuring adequate and affordable telephone service is available to all Oregonians.

Based on that legislation, the Public Utility Commission of Oregon implemented these three programs:

The Link-Up America Program helps qualified individuals by paying for one-half (up to $30) of the line connection charges for new residential telephone service.

Telecommunication Devices Access Program (TDAP)

Many residential telephone and cellular companies participate in OTAP. Customers can complete or download applications online. Application are available in Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese.

Loans adaptive telephone equipment at no cost and with no income restrictions to eligible Oregonians who have a severe hearing, severe speech, vision, cognitive or mobility impairment and cannot benefit from the use of a standard telephone.

To receive the equipment, qualifying customers must complete and sign Section A of the application available in English and Spanish. The appropriate licensed physician, audiologist, speech-language pathologist or rehabilitation counselor must complete Section B certifying that the person requires adaptive equipment to use the telephone.

Oregon Telephone Assistance Program (OTAP) —Link-Up America Oregonians who receive one of these benefits may receive up to a $13.50 reduction in their monthly bill for local residential telephone service:  

Oregon Telecommunications Relay Service (OTRS) As required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a telephone service that is available for all Oregonians and provides telecommunications access that is functionally equivalent for persons with and without hearing or speech disabilities to communicate via the telephone.

Home Health Definitions: Hospice is a comprehensive program of care to patients and families facing a life threatening illness. Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment. The dying are comforted. Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided. Very few Home Health Agencies are also licensed for Hospice care.

In-Home Care/Personal Care is care related to activities of daily living, including: mobility, eating, toileting, bathing and personal hygiene, dressing and grooming or cognition support. These services are usually provided on a private pay basis and do not require a physician’s order.

Respite Care is short-term or temporary. It is designed to give families a break from the stress of daily caregiving. Respite care can be for a few hours, overnight, or for days. The amount of care changes with the needs of the family and the ill or disabled person.

24-hour care is “round the clock treatment” in a home environment. The care may be shared by multiple caregivers or by a single caregiver.

Skilled Nursing is a higher level of care where services are preformed by a licensed Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse. Skilled Nursing includes, but is not limited to patient assessments, performance of prescribed medical treatments, administration of prescribed medications, education for the patient and the caregiver (if available) related to the disease process, treatment, health measures and medication management. Skilled Nurses provide medical care as prescribed by physician.

Social Worker refers to a clinical social worker whose purpose in health care is to enhance, promote, maintain, and restore the best possible social abilities of the patient or family.

Services provided may be preventive, developmental, or remedial in nature.

Home Health Aides provide support services such as personal care which do not require a licensed nurse. Medicare does not cover home health aides unless the person is also receiving skilled nursing care or other therapy. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) provide personal care such as bathing, dressing, transporting and other essential activities.

Intravenous Therapy is any medical treatments/medications that need to be introduced to the body via a patient’s veins. Numerous IV Therapies can be provided in-home under supervision of a MD. Some of these include: inter-infective/antibiotic therapies, hydration therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and central line care and maintenance.

Diabetic Management refers to services including patient assessment, diet information, management of the disease process, medication management and education on all of the above. Services are provided by a Registered Nurse under the supervision of an M.D. Some agencies may employ certified diabetic nurse instructors or cardiac care specialty RN’s.

Care & Health

Cardiac Care refers to services including patient assessment, specific diet information, and management of the disease process, medication management and education. Cardiac rehabilitation is a program designed to help a person with heart disease return to health. Cardiac rehabilitation may consist of exercise, modifying risk factors to prevent further heart damage, or psychological rehabilitation.

Psychiatric Services refers to the agencies ability to offer services related to psychiatric support with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness. Services may include counseling or administering of medications.

Therapy Services (ST, PT, OT, RT) Speech Therapy (ST) refers to services to assess and treat speech and swallowing disorders.

Speech therapy can treat speech, language, cognitive skills or swallowing. A Therapist provides individually designed treatment programs to maximize communication and swallowing. Depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, common treatments may range from changes in food consistence, physical strengthening exercises, repetitive practice, to the use of audio-visual aids.

Physical Therapy (PT) refers to services for the treatment and the rehabilitation process where a physical therapist will often stretch, strengthen, facilitate muscles, challenge balance, test coordination abilities, teach home exercise programs and enhance basic mobility skills.

Exercise techniques are only part of the special skills used by therapists to treat patients to help lessen disability, pain and improve overall function and quality of life. Therapists may also use special equipment when treating patients which help aid in the healing and recovery of an injury.

Occupational Therapy, (OT) refers to services to assess and treat patients to improve their ability to perform tasks in their daily living and working environments. Patients may have mental, physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities. Therapists also help them to develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. Occupational therapists help clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. The goal is to help patients become as independent, productive, and satisfied as possible.

Respiratory Therapy (RT) refers to services for care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system. It may include the therapeutic use of medical gases and their equipment, environmental control systems, humidification, aerosols, ventilator support, bronchi pulmonary drainage and exercise, respiratory rehabilitation, assistance with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and maintenance of natural, artificial, and mechanical airways.

Experience of older workers Older workers have much to offer as members of today’s workforce. While they possess the work ethic, loyalty and life experience necessary to be assets to any workplace, but they often lack opportunity.

The Easter Seals Oregon Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a Department of Labor grant designed to help mature workers re-enter the workforce. The goal of the program is to help participants gain the skills necessary to obtain permanent employment and achieve economic independence.

Easter Seals SCSEP helps participants by providing opportunities to enhance existing skills, train for a new career, and find a rewarding job.

To qualify for the program, participants must be low-income, 55+, unemployed and be willing and able to work. Seniors are assigned to a Program Coordinator who develops an Individual Employment Plan, places them in a Host Agency training site and enrolls them in Job Club. The program assists them in how to write resumes, cover

48

letters, apply for jobs on-line and discover their strengths and weaknesses in relation to an identified career focus. Participants also take classes to enhance their computer skills to be competitive in the labor market.

As one SCSEP participant stated, “I have been unable to find work due to my inability to understand and operate computers. Now I am gaining the opportunity to learn how to use the computer to enhance my job search and improve my skills in this area”.

The SCSEP program holds monthly orientations to explain the program and set up intake appointments for those who qualify. Participants then enter an assessment phase designed to take a “snapshot” of basic skills, computer abilities and vocational options. The participant is placed at a training site and reassessed at regular intervals to ensure they are making progress. To learn more about the program, contact the Easter Seals Oregon office at 503-228-5100 or visit us at 5757 SW Macadam, Portland, OR 97239.

2009 marks the year Oregon celebrates 150 years of statehood. We commemorate our Sesquicentennial on February 14 with events planned through the State Fair in September. Oregon 150, a volunteer board is planning this important birthday—and we want you to join the party.

Share Your Story Oregon is a state of diverse and interesting people. We come from different backgrounds and different faiths; we come from cities, ranches, and mountains. We each have our own Oregon story, and we hope you’ll share yours so we can get to know each other. For our 150th birthday, Oregon 150 is collecting and sharing “Oregon Stories”. Please tell us your Oregon story on www.oregon150.org

See Your State Oregon 150 encourages you to go visit new places in our magnificent state. Surely there must be some parts of our 98,466 square miles that you’ve never seen! In partnership with Travel Oregon, we have 150 trips already mapped out for you. Be sure to make your vacation a “state-cation” in 2009! And send an Oregon 150 e-postcard to your friends at home!

Get Your Hands Dirty It’s important to cleanup for this party—so Oregon 150 is hosting “Take Care of Oregon Days.” Volunteers across Oregon will be clearing trails, painting schools, planting trees, or lending a hand in projects aimed at stewardship of this beautiful land.

Please join us! Just contact us at TCO@ oregon150.org or visit our Web site to learn what project your community is planning, or to add your own.

Plan for the Bash What’s a birthday party without kids?

Our three Youth Legacy Projects will bring tomorrow’s leaders together today and invite them to envision the changes they hope to see in Oregon over the next 50 years. Oregon’s youth are helping sustainably design and rehabilitate five local parks around Oregon, focusing on rediscovering nature and recreation with Oregon Parks and Recreation.

And embedded throughout the entire state education system are curricula, projects, and activities focusing on the Sesquicentennial, linking youth to Oregon’s history and culture.

A great way to cut health care costs is to find a generic drug that works just as well as your expensive brand-name drug. But how can you be sure that a generic is as good as the drugs you see advertised on TV? It may help to learn what a generic drug is.

Generic drugs are simply drugs whose brand-name patent has expired. They may look different because the brand-name drug is protected by trademark. They may contain different inactive ingredients (such as coloring) that have no effect on the drug’s performance. But the active ingredients that treat the medical condition are the same.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires all drugs, including generics, to be safe and effective. The FDA tests drugmanufacturing facilities routinely, and tests all generic drugs rigorously to make sure they are “bioequivalent.” That means they have the same active ingredients and can be expected to work the same way in the body as the brand-name drug. They also must have the same dosage, strength and form (such as pill or liquid).

In fact, many brand-name drug manufacturers even make and sell the generic versions. According to the FDA, brand-name manufacturers are involved with about half of all generic drug production.

Then why are generics cheaper? Patents give drug manufacturers exclusive rights to sell brand-name drugs for a number of years. During that time, they charge high prices to cover the average $800 million for research, development, getting the patent, marketing and advertising to bring each new drug to market.Generic drug manufacturers don’t have these upfront costs. Plus they compete with other manufacturers. As a result, generics cost 30 to 80 percent less than brands.

Generic Drugs: a Great Way to Cut Health Care Costs

Finally, many studies show that the “new” brand-name drugs may not be safer or work better than older generic drugs. The bottom line: Generic drugs have the same therapeutic benefit, quality, purity and safety as brand-name counterparts. They help reduce drug costs while maintaining care quality. Many health insurers charge copayments for generics that are substantially lower than the copayments for brand-name drugs.

To learn more, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, other health care professional or health plan representative. If you want to find out if there are generic options for your prescriptions, Consumer Reports’ Best Buy Drugs and the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research give cost-effective prescription options for common medical conditions.

Providence ElderPlace: Medical Coverage, Long-Term Care and Social Services—All In One Providence ElderPlace is part of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) that combines medical coverage with long-term care and social services.

A federally recognized program, there are over 40 PACE sites throughout the United States, but only one in Oregon.

Our goal is to keep older adults healthy and independent and living in the community for as long as possible. ElderPlace does this by providing and coordinating high-quality health and social services that are designed to meet the needs of each individual. Our person-centered program is a welcome relief to seniors, families and caregivers. It allows families to spend quality time together, without the stress of taking time off work to arrange medical and dental appointments and transportation to those appointments.

The ElderPlace program covers all medical services. This includes doctor visits, lab and other tests, medical equipment and devices, home services, specialist services, supplies and medications, including overthe-counter medications. The program also includes housing placement, transportation coordination and social center activities.

Anyone who is age 55 or older, able to live in the community (including adult foster homes, assisted living facilities and residential care facilities), living in or willing to relocate to Multnomah County, and meet state eligibility guidelines can join Providence ElderPlace.

60

What is the cost?

All medical and social services are covered—there are no hidden fees, or co-payments. Medicaid covers Medicaideligible participants. For those who do not qualify for Medicaid, the ElderPlace premium equals the current Medicaid rate.

Housing Definitions: Adult Day Care Programs offer a protective setting during the day, for those who cannot be left alone due to health care and social needs. The structured program within a community setting offers: socialization, planned activities, care services, companionship and meals. Adult Day Care provides daytime respite for the caregiver who typically works, needs time for other responsibilities, to simply to take a break. Some programs are designed for older adults with dementia and/or physical limitations. Programs through senior housing communities that are listed in this guide must be able accept non-residents to be included.

Adult Care Home or Family Care Home are private residences that provides a home-like setting, and serves 5 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions, such as personal care, housekeeping and activities and group meals. There are three levels of Adult Foster Care Home licenses. The classification system is based on level of care the Adult Foster Home may provide to residents who live in the home as well as the experience and training of the providers and their ability to assist residents with: personal hygiene, mobility, eating, dressing, toileting, and behavior management. Residents may require very light assistance or may be dependent with several care needs; it is best to ask individual locations for their specific policies and license.

Assisted Living Communities are State-regulated rental properties where six or more residents may reside. Care assistance is available, including: medication management, bathing, dressing, toileting and eating. Apartments must be fully self-contained private living units with a lockable door, private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities. The fee schedule is regular monthly rent along with additional fees for specific services and amenities. Assisted living communities are best suited for individuals who want to remain as independent as possible and who are able to direct their own care.

CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) are communities that include a continuum of care from independent living, assisted living, residential care and skilled nursing services all on one campus, allowing individuals to live within the same community as their needs progress through the spectrum of care. They typically offer the full selection of amenities associated with retirement living. An endowment fee in addition to a monthly maintenance fee can be expected.

Independent Living Communities provide residents an independent living setting without the burden of home ownership. Typically, residency is established on a monthly rental basis. Residents live in fully equipped private apartments or cottages from studios to large two-bedroom units that may be rental-assisted or market-rate depending on the community. Amenities and hospitality services such as housekeeping, linen service, transportation and social and recreational activities may be included, provided for an additional charge, or may not be available at all. These communities do not provide assistance with activities of daily living or personal care.

Memory Care or Dementia Communities offer or provide care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia in a home like environment. These communities, must receive an endorsement and is governed by additional regulations that are specifically intended to support individuals with dementia, including: a secure building that alerts staff if a resident has exited, a secure outdoor area that provides outdoor freedom safely, interior finishes that are non-glare and well lit, and visual contrasts between floors, walls and doorways. Alzheimer’s units must also have programs, which include: gross motor, self care, social, craft, sensory enhancement and outdoor activities.

Rehabilitation & Therapy is treatment for an injury, illness, or pain with the goal of restoring function, including nursing and therapy services. Rehab is ordered by a physician and services are provided by nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Examples include working with a physical therapist to help you walk and with an occupational therapist to help you get dressed.

Residential Care Facilities provide housing and supportive services for six or more people who do not require 24 hour nursing care. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the level of care provided and the size and amenities of each apartment. Accommodations are typically in a home like setting and may range from a shared bedroom with common bathroom, to private apartments with kitchenette and private bathroom. Monthly fees vary greatly based on unit amenities and care services. Many residential care facilities specialize in caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Respite Care is short term relief for family caregivers to take a break from the caregiving responsibilities and allows for a healthier and better quality of life for both the caregiver and care receiver.. Respite services include: companionship, personal care, recreational activities and security. Respite care can be provided as short stay or for a longer period that allows the family caregiver to go on vacation or a business trip. Longer duration respite care is generally found at select senior housing communities although some Companion services may provide this service in the home.

Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) or Nursing Homes are Statelicensed facilities that provide a safe, therapeutic environment for individuals who require rehabilitative care or can no longer live independently due to functional or cognitive impairment. Nursing Homes offer 24-hour skilled nursing care and medical services by registered nurses and support professionals. This is the highest level of care that can be provided that is not hospitalization. Additionally, nursing facilities offer residents planned social, recreational and spiritual activities. Nursing facilities are most appropriate for people who need 24-hour medical oversight and a protective/structured setting. Most residents must share their room, but residents are allowed to bring personal items to encourage a more home-like atmosphere.

Going Green: New senior living communities continue the environmentally friendly building trend Green design has made its way to the senior living industry and several new communities in the Portland area are a testament to that. Environmentally minded contractors, architects and designers are implementing green design into new buildings because they understand that consuming less energy, conserving water, and improving indoor air quality benefits the residents as well as the environment.

The key elements to reducing a building’s greenhouse gas emissions are energy efficiency, waste management, water conservation, and indoor air quality. Many new senior living communities are using this green strategy because a sustainably designed building can greatly improve a senior’s physical and mental health.

For example, many green buildings are designed to let in as much natural sunlight as possible. Studies have shown that exposure to daylight reduces depression.

Improving the air quality inside a building by using low VOC paint, frequently cleaning vents, and using effective weather stripping means seniors breathe much fresher air. This is especially important for seniors who spend most of their time inside and who are susceptible to pollution because of emphysema and asthma.

Laurel Parc at Bethany Village in northwest Portland is a senior housing development that has incorporated many green features into the building’s design. For example, the orientation and shape of the building

86

and the strategic placement of windows and skylights increases natural light and ventilation, underground parking reduces water use by lessening ground level surface space, and energy efficient lighting and Energy Star appliances will prevent light and energy waste.

Other steps taken during the design and construction phases of Laurel Parc include recycling 100% of construction waste, installing an efficient HVAC system and having low-flow showerheads and toilets.

Going green is not a money saver at first.

It usually adds 3 to 5 percent to a project’s upfront cost and sometimes will deter a company from doing it. However, once the building is complete the additional costs incurred during construction are returned through reduced energy costs. The long term benefits definitely outweigh the initial costs and contribute to the well-being of our seniors and our planet.

Laurel Parc at Bethany Village is a unique senior living community located in the heart of Northwest Portland. Set to open in March of 2009, Laurel Parc will feature independent senior apartments as well as assisted living suites.

What you Should Look For in a Retirement Community As providers of senior housing in a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community), we are often in the position of helping people choose where they are going to live. The following considerations are very important in making this decision.

The Residents Look for a community where residents are interested in their lifestyle, health, leisure activities and volunteerism. One where residents are striving to be fully engaged in activities that are satisfying, challenging and fulfilling.

The Staff Look for staff that recognizes the community is the home of the residents. Staff should be respectful, competent, and willing to go the extra mile to provide the quality of life you deserve.

Service and Trust Look for a marketing department that provides accurate and honest information. Review the longevity of the organization and review any financial information provided.

Look for flexibility in services, such as dining and other programs.

The Site Make sure the location is close to those things you enjoy doing.

Shopping, cultural events, medical services, and church are all things that should be within a short distance. Plan ahead to utilize public transportation and recognize its availability.

The Building Explore spaces and ask yourself if those spaces meet your needs. Are there

88

opportunities to enjoy nature, to engage in gardening, and to enjoy walking paths, quiet spaces, and fitness opportunities?

Are there spaces for group activities and social interactions? Are the grounds well maintained? Do you like the way it looks?

Remember, this will be your home—the place where you'll invite friends and family.

Focus Does the community focus on meeting the challenges and expectations of the residents? Is the theme to merely survive or is it to consistently try to recognize the changing environment.

Is the community focused on providing quality services and promoting good health? Does it provide a continuum of health services that will provide for you throughout your remaining years? Does it promote aging in place?

Accreditation It is important that a CCRC be accredited. Accreditation means the organization and community have met standards concerning governance, resident health care and services, and financial matters. Look for the seal that designates Accreditation and you can be assured the organization has addressed these areas.

Obviously, these are difficult questions, but finding the answers will help make your life enjoyable in your new home.

Cause Related Marketing, a Positive Cycle Cause-related Marketing involves the cooperative efforts of a “for profit” business and a non-profit organization for mutual benefit. Your cause-related marketing activities should highlight your company’s reputation within your target audience. A few reasons to incorporate fundraising into your marketing plan are:  Positive Media Coverage  Improved Customer Relations  Increased Sales  Increased Employee Loyalty

Choose a cause, about which you feel passionate. If your passion resonates with your target audience, your efforts will generate tremendous goodwill and additional media focus. A few local examples of cause-related marketing include: Every Marriage Matters, Courtyard Carnival, Elders in Action Book Swap, and the AMR Golf Tournament.

The Every Marriage Matters event is sponsored by Miramont Pointe, AMR, Dignity Memorial, and local Clackamas County church organizations. Every year, couples that have been married 25+ years, are invited to attend the “Every Marriage Matters Celebration.” Guests are invited to share stories, listen to a motivational speaker, enjoy chocolate and cider, and win fabulous door prizes.

The Courtyard Carnival is a yearly event that encourages residents, their families, and professionals to enjoy an old-fashioned carnival; while increasing awareness and fund-raising. The event is not only

a fund-raiser, but it also encourages the community to learn more about the Courtyard Campus. The Courtyard Carnival and other fundraisers raised over $10,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association this year.

Cause-related marketing is mutually beneficial to the supporting organization and the receiving cause. Are you looking for a cause, but not sure who to support?

You can begin by attending events and ask how you can help; volunteer with an organization or become a committee member with a local non-profit. When seeking potential partners, search for other organizations that share your passion.

Building trust is crucial to becoming more involved; and eventually building awareness of your personal skills, but also the company you represent.

No matter which organization you decide to support, it should be one you believe in, When people see that you care, it will increase your overall success. Don’t lose the marketing focus of your community partnership efforts. Even though the work is philanthropic, your cause should motivate others to choose your organization; in turn, allowing you to continue more support for the cause.

“I Still do!” Every Marriage Matters For the past five years, Every Marriage Matters and local business host a dessert and coffee social celebrating longevity in marriage. The event, which is for couples who have been married for 25 years or more, is free of charge, and the goal is to encourage and acknowledge that 25 years is a true milestone. Lasting marriages provide a powerful example for younger couples and encouragement for everyone.

Every Marriage Matters is a non-profit organization that began in 2001. Their goal is to provide support for the Clackamas County Marriage Policy. The Clackamas County divorce rate has dropped 21% since the establishment of the Clackamas County Marriage policy. Every Marriage Matters is a resource center for couples, pastors, and counselors throughout the region. Five years ago, the founders of Every Marriage Matters, Tom & Liz Dressel, along with local psychologist Dr. Steve Stephens, approached Community Relations Director of Miramont Pointe, Therese Lambert, about co-hosting a celebration of marriage.

None of them imagined it would expand so quickly and that so many community member’s would get involved. What started out as a smaller event with 60 guests in attendance has grown over the years to include over 300 attendees.

At this fun, exciting and heartwarming celebration, couples have the opportunity to share stories of how they met and what makes a successful marriage. Their stories can be hilarious! Local weatherman Bruce Sussman has been the Master of

92

Ceremonies for the past two years, along with host Dr. Steve Stephens. Steve has put together lists including “The best places to kiss in Clackamas County,” “20 things TO say to your spouse” and “20 things NOT to say to your spouse.”

We have been fortunate to have wonderful sponsors and are blessed again this year. Dignity and Lincoln Memorial, Miramont Pointe, American Medical Response, Courtyard Senior Living & Plaza, Retirement Connection along with Every Marriage Matters are the major contributors.

If you, or anyone you know, has been married for 25 years or more we hope you will join us. This year’s event will take place at New Hope Community Church Saturday February 21, 2009. There will be live music, wonderful desserts, fabulous door prize, including a weekend getaway to the Oregon Coast, and more.

Assisted Living Resources Licensing requirements for assisted living facilities vary by state and can be known by as many as 26 different names including: residential care, board and care, congregate care, and personal care. A complete list of each state’s terminology and state regulations can be found at: http://aspe. hhs.gov/daltcp/Reports/04alcom.htm

Choosing A Community A good match between a community and a resident’s needs depends as much on the philosophy and services as it does on the quality of care.

The following suggestions can help you get started in your search for a safe, comfortable and appropriate assisted living community:  What are your future needs and how will the community meet those needs?  Is the community close to family and friends? Are there any shopping centers or other businesses nearby (within walking distance)?  Visit each community more than once, sometimes unannounced.  Visit at meal times, sample the food, and observe the quality.  Observe interactions among residents and staff and ask questions.  Ask about social, recreational, and spiritual activities.  Ask about the type and frequency of staff trainings.  Review state licensing reports.

106

These steps should also be considered:  Contact your state’s long-term care ombudsman to see if any complaints have recently been filed against the assisted living community you are interested in. In many states, the ombudsman checks on conditions at assisted living units and nursing homes.  If the assisted living community is connected to a nursing home, ask for information about it, too. (Information on nursing homes can be found on the Medicare website at http://www. medicare.gov/nhcompare/home.asp).

Power of Attorney: Life Saver or Wrecker?

One of the first questions I ask elder clients facing financial crisis is “Do you have a power of attorney?” When meeting with a family to plan for possible disability, I ask “Who can we trust with your power of attorney?”

What is a Power of Attorney?

A power of attorney is used to delegate legal authority to another person. The principal (the person granting the power of attorney) gives the agent the authority to make legal decisions on his/her behalf, including handling bank accounts, selling real estate, and managing other assets. It’s an essential and powerful legal tool used to protect assets when the principal is incapacitated or just away from home.

Are There Different Types?

A power of attorney can be short and simple or very extensive. Some are limited to simple banking and real estate transactions.

Others include general powers to transact all kinds of business. A careful lawyer drafts a power of attorney to fit the client’s needs.

Powers of attorney for Medicaid related transactions, for example, must contain express authority for them to be effective.

When Does it Expire?

In Oregon all powers of attorney are “durable,” meaning that, unless the document says otherwise, the authority granted continues in effect after the person granting the authority becomes incapacitated. When that person dies, the power of attorney expires.

124

Can it Be Abused?

Potential for fraud exists in every power of attorney arrangement, through theft, embezzlement, and unlawful gifting.

Sometime, a power of attorney holder will significantly deplete an estate, leaving heirs with little or no inheritance. Other forms of exploitation include changing beneficiary designations on life insurance or annuities, and opening bank accounts with joint title or pay-on-death provisions in favor of the agent. The potential for power of attorney disputes is large and can lead to lawsuits.

Can it Be Challenged?

If a person doesn’t understand what he is signing, a power of attorney can be challenged. If a power of attorney has been abused by the agent, grounds may exist to sue the agent for the return of property or for monetary damages. The guilty agent may also be charged with a crime. The person granting the authority may sue or, if he/she is deceased, the intended beneficiaries may be able to sue for breach of fiduciary duty, tortuous interference with estate planning, or other causes of action.

I tell clients that a power of attorney is like a sharp scalpel—one of the most important tools in our legal “black bag.”It can preserve and protect, but in the wrong hands it can harm. It is wise to have an experienced Elder Law Attorney create your power of attorney and advise you how to safely use it.

Reverse mortgages: finance your “wants” as well as “needs” Reverse mortgages are gaining unprecedented popularity, not only among those who “need” the money; but also for seniors using reverse mortgages to finance the “wants’ in their retirement years.

A reverse mortgage is a loan product that allows homeowners age 62 and over to tap a portion of the equity in their primary residence without having to sell the property or take on a new mortgage payment. Although the reverse mortgage has existed for many years, the structure and safeguards of the product today have made it an attractive way for many seniors to finance those golden years.

134

In a nutshell, the reverse mortgage can provide equity to borrowers who qualify for as long as they live in the home. The borrower controls how the funds are takeneither in a lump sum, monthly allowance, line of credit, or any combination of the three. So for example, if a senior wants to eliminate some debt, receive a monthly check, and have some funds in reserve for future needs, the reverse mortgage can satisfy all of these. If there is a mortgage or home equity loan/line on the property, it must be paid off when the reverse mortgage is taken. For many, simply having this mortgage payment “go away” is enough to make a big difference in their monthly budget. If a senior is currently making a home equity loan payment of $300.00 each month, that $300.00 can now be put toward other monthly obligations or expenses such as prescription medications.

The amount of reverse mortgage funds available to a senior homeowner is based on several factors. First, the age of the youngest applicant is used. Of course, the minimum age is 62. In addition, the home value, as determined by an appraisal is taken into account. (FHA maximum lending limit is $417,000). Lastly, the current interest rate is the used in the calculation. These pieces of the puzzle will determine the amount of reverse mortgage proceeds the senior homeowner can take. If there is an existing mortgage or any type of lien, it must be paid in full at the time the reverse is taken. Other than that, the use of the funds is determined by the homeowner.

And the funds are tax-free.

More and more seniors are taking reverse mortgage proceeds and using the funds for travel, purchasing a motor home, giving gifts to children, funding grandchildrens’ college education, and contributing to favorite charities. Some are even putting this equity to use in the purchase of a vacation property or second home.

The uses for reverse mortgage funds are as many and varied as the seniors themselves.
