Letter from the Publisher

Dear Readers,

I write this letter not just as a publisher, but as someone who, like many of you, has faced life’s unexpected transitions. Navigating the twists and turns life throws our way can be overwhelming, but it's during these moments that we often find our greatest strength. Over the years, I've witnessed and experienced the impact of change—sometimes planned, sometimes sudden. In these moments of uncertainty, I’ve come to embrace a powerful question: What if the things that happen to us, actually happen for us? This shift in perspective has been a guiding light, reminding me that even in the midst of life’s hardest transitions, there is room for growth, resilience, and new opportunities. Life’s transitions—whether they involve health, family, or career—ask us to be resilient. We may not have control over the timing or circumstances, but we do have control over how we adapt. It’s important to take stock of what we can prepare for, from organizing important documents and sharing our wishes with loved ones, to simply allowing ourselves the grace to adjust at our own pace.

The journey may be uncertain, but resources are available to help us along the way. Whether you are facing a major life change, helping a loved one, or planning for the future, you are not alone. I’ve personally leaned on the support and guidance from the very providers included in this guide— whether that’s from legal experts, care providers, or financial advisors. They’ve not only helped me through complex decisions, but they’ve also reminded me of the power of preparation and community.

My advice? Be gentle with yourself. Change takes time. Plan ahead when you can, ask questions, and lean on those around you. The providers we work with are dedicated to serving seniors and their families, offering care and guidance in every season of life. When the unexpected happens, know that resources like CareAvailability.com and this guide are here to support you, just as they have for me.

Retirement Connection is provided free of charge because our sponsors/advertisers have provided financial support to maintain and update the guide and the website. Please return the favor by contacting our sponsors when you encounter a need. If your physician’s office, church, or other organization would like additional copies, we are happy to provide these at no cost. Please call us, visit our websites or email us at: mktg@RetirementConnection.com to order as many as you need.

3. Housing

Assisted Living & Adult Family Care

Begin by reviewing the Housing Definitions at the beginning of the section to determine which level of care best fits your needs . Then turn to the easy to read comparison grids which are separated into 4 primary care levels: Independent Living, Assisted Living & Adult Family Care Homes, Memory Care & Skilled Nursing/Intermediate Care . The communities are separated by city so you can quickly search a specific geographic area . If you are unsure where to begin, you may want to contact a Housing Placement & Referral Specialist, many of whom are also included at the beginning of the housing section .

Home Care Definitions:

Behavioral Health can include the prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery support to people with addiction and mental health needs. Behavioral health may also include care for patients with memory loss and confusion, but typically includes more intensive treatment and intervention than simple redirection.

Homecare agencies provide non-medical services. Personal care may include: dressing, feeding and personal hygiene to facilitate self-care; homemaking such as housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation, and transportation; or respite care to provide support to the family. The Department of Health licenses home care agencies.

Home Health Care includes skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy and medical social services. A home health care agency may choose to be Medicare certified to be reimbursed for their services. Home health agencies may also teach you how to care for yourself.

In-Home Care/Personal Care is care related to activities of daily living. Care may be provided by Home Health or Homecare Agencies. These services are typically not covered by medical insurance or Medicare and do not require a physician’s order.

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 inhome under the supervision of an MD. Some of these include: inter-infective/antibiotic therapies, hydration therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and central line care and maintenance.

Master of Social Work (MSW) is a master’s degree in the field of social work. MSWs help promote more integrated care with education and collaboration among care providers and support services.

Medicaid Certified A joint Federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid Certified facilities can offer services to individuals receiving Medicaid benefits in exchange for reimbursement from Medicaid. Some people qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (these people are called “dual eligibles”).

Medical Social Services are assistance with social and emotional concerns related to illness including counseling or help finding community resources.

Medicare Certified facilities can offer services to individuals receiving Medicare benefits in exchange for reimbursement from Medicare. A physician’s order is required to be reimbursed by Medicare. Medicare is a Federal health insurance program for those 65 and over for those who meet other criteria.

Nurse Delegated Tasks a licensed registered nurse may delegate specific nursing care tasks to qualified nursing assistants in community-based and in-home care settings. One task taught and delegated to one caregiver for one client. Before delegating a task, the registered nurse delegator must determine that specific criteria are met and ensure that the patient is in a stable and predictable condition.

Psychiatric Services refers to the agency's 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.

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.

Skilled Nursing requires the oversight of a staff nurse and may include: rehabilitation, wound care, therapy services, or other medical care. These services are typically provided by a licensed Home Health Agency. This is different than Nurse Delegation services that may use a third party agency or consultant to delegate as needed for an individual specific need.

Therapy Services (OT, PT, RT, ST)

Occupational Therapy (OT) refers to services to assess and treat patients to help them 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.

Physical Therapy (PT) refers to services for the treatment and rehabilitation process where a physical therapist will often stretch, strengthen, facilitate muscles, challenge balance, test coordination abilities, teach home exercise programs to enhance basic mobility skills; to help lessen disability and pain and improve overall function and quality of life.

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

Speech Therapy (ST) refers to services to assess and treat speech and swallowing disorders. Speech therapy can treat speech, language, cognitive skills or swallowing.

Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse (WOCN) WOC nurses have advanced training in acute and chronic wound care as well as the physical, emotional, and social issues of patients with ostomies (those who have had some kind of bowel or bladder diversion), stomas, acute and chronic wounds, and incontinence (those with bladder and bowel control and associated skin care issues).

Medicare Certified Home Health Services

In this Retirement Connection Guide, we list all Medicare Certified Home Health agencies licensed in King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. Additional agencies are listed as In-Home Care on the following pages. In Washington State, some companies offer Home Health services but cannot bill Medicare. Payment must be through private pay, Veteran Benefits, or Long-Term Care insurance (if applicable).

Home Health includes a range of healthcare services provided in your home for illness or injury. It is typically less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective as care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF).

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and/ or Part B (Medical Insurance) cover eligible home health services if you need part-time or intermittent skilled services and you’re “homebound.” This means:

You have trouble leaving home without help (e.g., using a cane, wheelchair, walker, crutches, special transportation, or help from another person) due to illness or injury.

Leaving your home isn’t recommended because of your condition.

You are normally unable to leave your home because it’s a major effort.

Covered services include medically necessary part-time or intermittent skilled nursing care, such as wound care for pressure sores or surgical wounds, patient and caregiver education, intravenous or nutrition therapy, injections, and monitoring serious illness and unstable health status. You may also receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, speechlanguage pathology services, and medical social services.

Part-time or intermittent home health aide care is provided only if you're also receiving skilled nursing care, physical therapy, speech-language pathology services, or occupational therapy. This includes help with walking, bathing or grooming, changing bed linens, and feeding. Additionally, you may receive durable medical equipment, medical supplies for use at home, and disposable negative pressure wound therapy devices.

A doctor or healthcare provider (like a nurse practitioner) must assess you face-to-face before certifying that you need home health services. A doctor or healthcare provider must also order your care, and a Medicarecertified home health agency must provide it.

Medicare doesn’t cover:

24-hour-a-day care at your home

Home meal delivery

Homemaker services (like shopping and cleaning) unrelated to your care plan

Custodial or personal care for daily living activities (like bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom) when this is the only care you need

You won’t qualify for the home health benefit if you need more than part-time or "intermittent" skilled care. You may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, such as attending religious services. You can still receive home health care if you attend adult day care.

3 Things Family Caregivers Need— And How You Can Help

“How are you doing?” is all too often just another way of greeting someone. Detailed answers are not usually expected.

Family caregivers may feel overwhelmed or exhausted and chances are they would appreciate a sympathetic ear and help.

“While nonprofessional caregivers provide invaluable service to others, they often haven’t been asked how they are doing,” notes an article in Next Avenue, an online publication for older adults.

Here are three things caregivers often say they need, along with specific ways family and friends can help.

Caregivers Need Help

Ask specifically, “What can I do to help today?” Do not be vague. Be prepared to help with anything from visiting to housecleaning to running errands.

Caregivers thrust into the role suddenly may need help learning how to bathe the person they are caring for or how to change incontinence briefs. Help them find YouTube videos or other resources.

Caregivers Need Financial Support

There is a good chance the caregiver had to reduce their work hours or even quit their job to care for a loved one. You might help them by:

Offer to help pay for in-home services or supplies not covered by insurance.

Ask them for a good time to bring a home cooked or favorite carryout meal.

Caregivers Need a Break

Caregivers need time to rest and recharge. Here are some ways you can help:

You can offer to help pay for respite care. In-home care agencies provide respite care for seniors—allowing them to be cared for in their own home while the family caregiver is away.

Buy the caregiver an outing they would enjoy. Movie or theater tickets, a spa day, or a tee time (and a cart!) at the local golf course are just some examples. Arrange replacement care while they are out.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) offers wise advice when deciding how to offer help. Consider what you are particularly good at and how those skills might help. If you are a wizard at cleaning, offer that. Enjoy research? Help with information on care and medical conditions. It is important to offer help, but in a way that is sustainable for you.

Professional In-Home Care

Can Help

Professional in-home caregivers can help family caregivers by taking over caring duties on a schedule that works for everyone. From nursing and personal care to companionship and more, in-home care services can make a big difference in the daily life of both the family caregiver and the person needing help.

The Alzheimer’s Association® and Rippl Partner to Improve Quality Dementia Care

and Caregiver

The Alzheimer's Association Washington Chapter recently launched the new Dementia Care Navigation Service, powered by Rippl and the Alzheimer’s Association. Working together, this new service provides comprehensive, personalized support for people living with dementia and their caregivers through their dementia journey, every step of the way.

Millions of Americans are living with dementia, yet many do not receive consistent, high-quality coordinated care. Families often navigate these complexities on their own, leading to poor outcomes, high rates of hospitalization and emergency room visits, and significant caregiver stress. This service is designed to provide customized support to those living with dementia and their caregivers so they can successfully navigate care.

Key Features of the Dementia Care Navigation Service include:

A dedicated person (care navigator) who will help coordinate care and develop a care plan.

Clinical support including medication management and counseling.

Access to Alzheimer’s Association resources and education.

24/7 Helpline.

Ability to self-refer

Ability to diagnose

This partnership has been accepted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to be a part of the eight-year pilot program, Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, which is designed to test an alternative payment for

Support

participants who deliver key supportive services to people with dementia and their caregivers, including comprehensive, personcentered assessments and care plans, care coordination, and 24/7 access to a support line.

“The Alzheimer’s Association is excited to increase access to quality dementia care to thousands of individuals and caregivers in Washington who desperately need it,” said Meghan Means, Director of Programs and Services for the Association’s Washington and North Idaho Chapter. “Our partnership with Rippl and the new Dementia Care Navigation Service will provide comprehensive care and support to help make the dementia care journey a little easier — guiding people living with dementia and their caregivers each step of the way.”

With a presence in communities nationwide, the Alzheimer's Association continues to be the trusted name for dementia resources, including its free 24/7 Helpline, support groups, education programs, Community Resource Finder -- and now, the Dementia Care Navigation Service. If you are facing Alzheimer’s or another dementia, you are not alone.

For more information about the Dementia Care Navigation Service or to speak to a Rippl engagement specialist, visit ripplcare.com/alz or call 800-272-3900.

Choosing the Right Agent Under a Power of Attorney

A power of attorney (POA) is one of the most important estate planning documents you can create. It allows you to appoint someone—known as an agent or attorneyin-fact—to manage your financial or healthcare decisions if you become unable to do so. While many people naturally choose a spouse, child, or close friend, selecting the right agent requires careful consideration. In Washington, there are compelling reasons why choosing a professional fiduciary may be the better option.

An agent under a POA has significant legal authority and may be responsible for managing bank accounts, paying bills, buying and selling real estate, handling tax matters, making healthcare decisions, and applying for government benefits like Medicaid or Social Security. Given these broad responsibilities, the agent must act in the principal’s best interest and comply with Washington’s Uniform Power of Attorney Act (RCW 11.125). The law requires them to act prudently, avoiding conflicts of interest.

Appointing a family member or close friend may seem natural, but it carries risks. Financial and healthcare decisions often require expertise, and even well-meaning relatives may struggle with complexities. Additionally, the stress of making tough decisions can lead to guilt or hesitation, especially in high-stakes situations.

Family disputes are another concern. If multiple relatives disagree with the agent’s decisions, conflicts can escalate into legal challenges or strained relationships. Disagreements over financial management, asset distributions, or medical care can create lasting divisions among families. Additionally, while Washington law requires agents to act in good faith, cases of

financial abuse by family members are not uncommon. A relative in financial distress may be tempted to misuse their authority, leading to mismanagement or even selfdealing.

A professional fiduciary—such as a licensed guardian/conservator or trust company— can provide a neutral and experienced approach to managing affairs. Unlike family members, professionals have specialized expertise in financial management, tax law, Medicaid planning, and fiduciary duties. Their legal and ethical obligations ensure accountability, reducing the risk of mismanagement. A professional agent also remains impartial, avoiding the personal conflicts and inheritance disputes that often arise within families.

Reliability is another key advantage. Unlike family members who may move away, experience personal struggles, or become unavailable due to illness, a professional fiduciary ensures continuity in managing financial and healthcare decisions. Many professionals also carry liability insurance, providing additional protection in case of errors or disputes.

If you're considering a professional fiduciary as your agent, consulting an estate planning attorney can help clarify your options. A tailored POA ensures your affairs are handled responsibly. Whether a family member or professional, the key is selecting someone you trust to act in your best interest, providing peace of mind for your financial and healthcare decisions.

Regenerative Treatments for Longevity

Harnessing the power of Regenerative Medicine.

There are now non-pharmacological, non-invasive methods, that are successfully elevating the quality of life for thousands of people.

Regenerative treatments like stem cells and exosomes are effective for longevity because they help rejuvenate tissues, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular repair mechanisms. They are an effective way to leverage your body’s natural ability to heal itself. This selfrenewal process can continuously divide and produce new cells, maintaining their population for continued healing.

Here’s why they work:

Tissue regeneration: Stem cells can replace damaged or aging cells, promoting the repair of organs, joints, and skin.

Anti-inflammatory effects: Chronic inflammation accelerates aging, and stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells, release anti-inflammatory factors that help mitigate this.

Cellular communication with exosomes: Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by stem cells that carry growth factors, proteins, and genetic material to damaged cells, enhancing repair and rejuvenation.

Mitochondrial and DNA repair: Stem cells and exosomes help improve mitochondrial function and may aid in repairing DNA damage, slowing the

aging process at a cellular level.

Immune system modulation: they help balance the immune system, reducing autoimmunity and enhancing the body’s ability to fight age related diseases.

Collagen and skin rejuvenation: Exosomes and stem cells promote collagen production, improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and supporting overall skin health.

By addressing the root causes of aging, cell damage, inflammation, and impaired regenerations – stem cell and exosome therapies have the potential to extend health span and improve overall vitality.

Regenerative medicine leverages the powerful capabilities of stem cells and exosomes to repair damaged tissues. Stem cells contribute through their ability to differentiate and secrete reparative factors, while exosomes act as natural messengers that carry these healing signals to target cells.

Creating a Safe Home That Ages With You!

Did you know that, on average, people stay in their homes for about 6 to 18 years?

According to the National Association of Realtors, this timeline can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances.

With that in mind, it’s essential to maintain your home, your biggest asset, to ensure its longevity and functionality for years to come. A well-maintained home not only retains its value but also provides comfort, safety, and efficiency for you and your family.

Here are some important lifespan estimates for key home components:

Furnace: Typically lasts 15 to 20 years, but this depends on the type and how well it’s maintained.

Roof: Can last anywhere from 25 to 50 years, depending on materials, installation quality, climate, and upkeep. (Important tip: Never pressure wash your roof—it can significantly reduce its lifespan!)

Heat Pumps & Central Air Conditioning Units: Expect a lifespan of 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.

Water Heaters: Generally last between 10 and 25+ years, depending on the type and care given.

To help keep track of home maintenance, consider keeping a dedicated binder/ folder to organize your records. Every time you purchase an appliance, repair a major component (roof, gutters, windows, etc.), or perform routine maintenance like servicing your furnace or cleaning gutters, file the records in your binder. Not only will this keep you organized, but if you ever sell your home, you’ll have a well-documented history of its upkeep—something future buyers will appreciate!

As we age, our homes should evolve with us to ensure comfort and safety. Consider these simple but impactful updates:

Comfort-height toilets: Standard toilets are about 15 inches high, while comfortheight models range from 17 to 19 inches. A plumber can easily swap them out, and trust me—you’ll be thankful later!

Grab bars: Installing them in showers and near toilets can provide crucial support when needed.

Minimizing tripping hazards: Assess door thresholds and flooring transitions to prevent falls.

Lighting improvements: As vision changes over time, extra or brighter lighting—both indoors and outdoors—can enhance safety. A professional can ensure proper installation that meets electrical codes.

Many seniors have lived in their homes well beyond the “average” timeframe. If you know a senior who may need assistance with home maintenance—like checking gutters or inspecting the roof—offer a helping hand or recommend reliable professionals. Our homes are valuable, but they are replaceable. Our loved ones are not. Let’s take care of both—maintaining our homes for longevity while creating a safe and welcoming environment for all, especially our seniors. If you are a senior, consider allowing friends or neighbors to assist in making your home as safe and comfortable as possible. After all, a house should grow with you, providing security and ease as you continue to enjoy it for years to come.

Next Steps: Making the Right Move

Deciding where to move in the Modern Aging Care Continuum is a major life transition, and finding the right place requires thoughtful planning. Whether seeking a retirement community, assisted living, or an adult care home that better suits health and acuity needs, the process can feel overwhelming. However, with the right support, rightsizing and relocating can be an empowering step toward a fulfilling and energizing lifestyle.

Choosing the Right new Place: Your Next Steps

The first step in selecting a new home is identifying individual needs and priorities. Some key factors to evaluate:

Lifestyle Preferences: You may prefer an independent living community with social activities, a location to receive care services without requiring an additional move, or a setting that provides enhanced assistance with more complex medical needs?

Geography to Family and Friends: Staying connected is vital for emotional well-being, so think about how close you want to be to loved ones.

Financial Considerations: Establishing a budget and understanding costs. Knowing your financial picture is critical whether renting, buying, or moving.

Healthcare Access: Find a place where your preferred health plan is accepted.

Visiting locations with a Family Advisor, talking to residents, and researching reviews can make decision-making easier. A qualified Advisor helps ensure your next move aligns with your goals.

Rightsizing: A Well-Planned Transition

Once you decide where to move, the next step is rightsizing your belongings. While it can be emotional, it's a chance to focus on what truly matters and create a more manageable living space.

Helpful Ways to Make Rightsizing Easier:

 Start Early, Don’t Wait! Take Small Steps: Begin the process well in advance, tackling one room at a time to avoid undue stress.

Keep What Brings Joy and Usefulness: Rather than focusing on what to get rid of, concentrate on what is essential and meaningful and makes you smile daily.

Sort Items into Categories: Organize belongings into “keep,” “donate,” “gift,” or “discard.”

Seek Support: Enlist family, friends, or professional organizers to help with the process.

Digitize Memories: Scan photos and important documents to preserve them without taking up physical space.

Rightsizing is about creating a comfortable space that fits the next phase of life, without giving up what matters.

Embracing your Next Steps

Moving into Modern Aging living or a rightsized home is an emotional transition. With the right planning, it can be smooth and empowering, leading to a lifestyle of comfort, community, and well-being.

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, or simply to take a break. Some programs are designed for older adults with dementia and/or physical limitations. Day Care programs in senior housing communities that are listed in this guide must be able to accept non-residents to be included.

Adult Care Homes or Family Care Homes are private residences that provide a home-like setting, and serve 8 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions such as personal care, housekeeping, activities, and group meals. 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. Some may be fully self-contained private living units with a lockable door, private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities. Accommodations are typically in a home-like setting and may range from a shared bedroom with a common bathroom to private apartments with a kitchenette and a private bathroom. 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. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the level of care provided and the size and amenities of each apartment.

CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) also known as Life Plan Communities, 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 and 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 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 are 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 the 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.

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 a 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 state licensed 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.

Homeowners Beware!

Home sellers beware of the investor home buyers

With property values rising rapidly and inventory being the lowest in decades, real estate “deals” have dried up. “Professional” investors are locking arms and franchising tactics to target longtime homeowners. These opportunistic or predatory investors offer low prices 25%-50% below market value and make misleading claims. They exploit homeowners' lack of knowledge about current home values, and at the same time they work to convince homeowners not to get representation by licensed real estate agents.

What makes this segment of homeowners such a robust market for opportunistic investors?

Here are four reasons:

1. Homeowners having purchased their homes many years or decades ago tend to underestimate current home values.

Unlike Realtors, who are bound by a code of ethics, investors aren’t required to educate homeowners on the true value of their properties. Phrases like “fair price” or “competitive offer” often mask offers that are 25%-50% below market value. Longtime homeowners, especially those with no mortgage, may mistakenly accept these low offers without seeking a second opinion.

2. Those feeling overwhelmed by the home sale or liquidation process are susceptible to unfounded offers of simplicity and convenience.

As a perk to homeowners selling at a steep discount (often 25%-50% below actual value), investors may offer to manage disposing of belongings or let the homeowner stay until they liquidate personal items.

Homeowners unaware of reputable professional services (for a fair price) may sell without fully understanding their options.

3. Many trusting homeowners don’t check references, tending to trust those with titles (despite proof of expertise).

Creative investors have begun marketing themselves as “Senior Transition Specialists” or other similar titles without true credentials. Legitimate training for reputable real estate, move management, and liquidation experts typically require extensive education, experience, references, background checks, and testing.

4. Stress, grief, decision fatigue, and illness can interfere with informed decision-making strategies.

We have all heard of someone having been scammed by an unscrupulous business, organization, or con artist. No one likes to admit it, but we are all at risk of such practices. Opportunistic or predatory investors often appear kind, empathetic, and even charming; true motives, however, are anything but honest or fair.

Get the facts first!

Investors aren't always looking out for your best interests. Get the fiduciary representation you deserve by choosing a Realtor with specialized senior services training, such as the SRES certification or CHSP credentials. These professionals are equipped to guide you through senior transitions, ensuring a safe and smooth process.

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 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.

These steps should also be considered:

 Contact your state’s long-term care ombudsman to see if any complaints have 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 https://www. medicare.gov/care-compare/.

Due to the large number of Adult Family Homes, not all are listed in this guide. This link provides a complete list: https://fortress.wa.gov/dshs/adsaapps/ lookup/AFHAdvLookup.aspx

Memory Care for Alzheimer’s Residents

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. As the disease advances, individuals may experience confusion, frustration, and difficulty with daily tasks. Families often struggle with the decision to move a loved one into a memory care community, but these specialized environments provide structure, safety, and enrichment that greatly enhance quality of life. A well-designed memory care community offers not just assistance but also opportunities for joy, familiarity, and dignity.

Understanding the Need for Memory Care

When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, family members naturally want to provide the best care at home. However, as the disease progresses, challenges such as wandering, agitation, confusion, and difficulty with personal care can become overwhelming. Safety concerns, especially related to wandering and falls, often prompt families to seek a secure environment.

A memory care community is designed specifically for those with memory impairments. These communities provide a structured setting where residents receive personalized support, engaging activities, and security to reduce stress and confusion. Unlike traditional assisted living, memory care facilities have specialized staff training, thoughtfully designed spaces, and programming tailored to enhance cognitive function and emotional well-being.

The Benefits of a Structured Environment

One of the greatest challenges for individuals with Alzheimer’s is managing daily routines. Memory loss leads to frustration when

familiar tasks become difficult. A structured environment helps minimize anxiety by providing predictable schedules and consistent routines, reducing behavioral challenges and enhancing well-being.

Specialized Life Enrichment Programs

Memory care communities offer life enrichment programs tailored to cognitive and emotional needs. These include:

Music and Art Therapy: Stimulating creativity and memory recall.



Reminiscence Activities: Using photos, objects, and storytelling to foster connections.

Exercise and Movement: Promoting physical health and reducing restlessness.

Gardening and Nature-Based Activities: Encouraging relaxation in secure outdoor spaces.

Highly Trained Staff and Personalized Care

Memory care staff receive specialized training to understand the behaviors and needs of residents with dementia. They learn techniques to provide gentle redirection when residents become confused or anxious, preventing frustration. Staff members practice patience and compassion, ensuring that interactions are respectful and supportive.

Residents receive personalized care plans that may include hygiene assistance, medication management, and mobility support. The goal is to maintain independence while providing necessary support.

Thoughtfully

Designed

Spaces for Safety and Comfort

The physical design of a memory care community enhances resident well-being with:

Secured Entrances and Exits: Preventing wandering while allowing freedom within designated areas.

Clearly Marked Signage: Reducing confusion with visual cues.

Calm Environments: Soft lighting, comfortable furniture, and muted colors minimize agitation.

Outdoor Courtyards and Gardens: Providing safe access to nature, reducing stress, and improving mood.

Mindful Meal Management and Nutrition

Mealtime can be challenging due to confusion and appetite changes. Memory care communities provide structured meal plans designed to accommodate these challenges. Staff assist residents as needed, offering finger foods and adjusting meal textures. Meals are served in a calm, structured setting to reduce distractions and anxiety. Hydration is also closely monitored to prevent dehydration.

Emotional Support for Families

Deciding to move a loved one into memory care can be emotional, filled with guilt and uncertainty. However, families often find comfort in knowing their loved one is in a safe and supportive environment. Many communities offer family support services, including educational resources, support groups, and opportunities for meaningful visits.

Staff encourage family involvement, creating opportunities for loved ones to participate in activities, special events, and shared meals. This maintains strong family connections and reassures residents that they are loved and valued.

A Compassionate Choice for Quality of Life

A memory care community is not just a place for supervision—it is a place where individuals with Alzheimer’s can thrive. With structured routines, specialized care, and engaging activities, residents experience reduced frustration and improved wellbeing. For families, knowing their loved one is safe, supported, and engaged brings peace of mind and allows them to focus on their relationship rather than the daily challenges of caregiving.

If your loved one is struggling with memory loss, confusion, or wandering, a memory care community may provide the structure and support they need to live with dignity and comfort. The transition may be challenging, but the benefits of specialized care, compassionate staff, and an enriched environment can make all the difference in ensuring a higher quality of life for those facing Alzheimer’s disease.
