Care & Health Services

Dear Readers,

Adult Day Programs Ambulatory Aids Care Management Emergency Response Systems Health Insurance/Medicare Home Health/In Home Care

Hospice Medical Equipment/Supply Prescription Assistance Rehabilitation/Therapy Respite Care Other

In the last year, I have tried to embrace the idea- "What if the things that happened to us, actually happened for us.” Last year was tough for our personal and work-family when we lost one of our closest friends and team members to cancer. With that loss and other trials, we were ready to put 2018 behind us. In the past, I have missed wonderful moments because I was waiting and planning for what would come next. I did not appreciate all that I had. Maybe loss has helped me find something.

Housing

Adult Foster Care Homes Assisted Living/Residential Care Independent Living Preferred Location

Memory Care Nursing Home

This year I will not wait for "someday".

Instead, I will breathe deeply and smell, taste, and feel every momentgood and challenging (there is no bad). I will live in the moment fully every day and I hope you will also.

This year began with an emotional start, but I choose to see adversity as an opportunity. I will choose to find something positive in my encore year, a year my friend did not have. Embrace your encore performance and the next chapter. I would love for you to send us your stories and maybe a picture of how you have chosen to live in the moment.

Then turn to the easy to read comparison grids; which are separated into 5 primary care levels: Independent Living, Assisted Living/Residential Care, Adult Foster Homes, Memory Care & Skilled Nursing/Intermediate Care. The communities are separated by county 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 found at the beginning of the housing section.

Additionally the guide offers ▶ Many featured articles written by local experts, a Caregiver Checklist, and a “Request for Help” form.

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.

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.

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, 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.

These services are covered only when the services are specific, safe and an effective treatment for your condition. The amount, frequency and time period of the services needs to be reasonable, and they need to be complex or only qualified therapists can do them safely and effectively. To be eligible, either: 1) your condition must be expected to improve in a reasonable and generally-predictable period of time, or 2) you need a skilled therapist to safely and effectively make a maintenance program for your condition, or 3) you need a skilled therapist to safely and

You may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for nonmedical reasons, like attending religious services. You can still get home health care if you attend adult day care.

Your costs in Original Medicare  $0 for home health care services.  20% of the Medicare-approved amount for durable medical equipment.

Before you start getting your home health care, the home health agency should tell you how much Medicare will pay. The agency should also tell you if any items or services they give you aren't covered by Medicare, and how much you'll have to pay for them.

This should be explained by both talking with you and in writing. The home health agency should give you a notice called the "Home Health Advance Beneficiary Notice" (HHABN) before giving you services and supplies that Medicare doesn't cover.

Respite: What a Family Caregiver Needs Family caregivers of the chronically ill or disabled are generous, compassionate individuals. These caregivers are “on call” 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, so their patients can remain in the comfort and security of their own home or community.

90% of seniors want to age at home, but soon the family caregiver needs a break.

Respite provides those caregivers this break from their daily responsibilities.

A paper compiled by Dr. Dale Lund and Scott Wright, experts in the field of caregiving analysis, states that family caregivers should consider accessing services early in their caregiving experience.

They found that family caregivers need sufficient and regular amounts of respite, and it is important that the family give sufficient thought as to how he or she wants to use that freed-up time, when and if it becomes available.

For the family, personal respite varies for the caregiver and could mean any break including: a chance to attend a doctor’s appointment or to go shopping; attending a church service or seeing a movie; or simply visiting friends or relatives.

Here’s what some family caregivers have said: “I took a vow when we got married 54-years ago, and I intend to carry it out. My only fear is that I will die from exhaustion before she does, and who will care for her then?”– Caregiver husband; Chicago, IL “Respite is my number one need. I’ve been caring for Mom for seven years . . . in that time, I have had one vacation for 3 days.”

– Caregiver daughter; Milwaukee, WI

Many caregivers noted hardships of physical and mental strain. Some felt they did not have enough time or energy to meet the demands of caregiving or of their personal lives.

important things that you can do to make it possible for you to continue to care for someone.” – Mace and Robins, The 36 Hour Day.  Many caregivers experience immense stress and feelings of burden, high rates of depression, and feelings of anger and anxiety.  Caregiving can adversely affect one’s physical health and ability to continue providing care leaving two impaired persons, rather than one.  The emotional and physical strain of caring for a frail older relative is often exacerbated by worries over paying for care, particularly for nursing homes.

Research has shown that many caregivers experience increased absenteeism, lower productivity at work, and lost career opportunities. Respite care can relieve the burden of the family caregiving situation and allow family members to continue to care for loved ones at home.

Who to contact for help at home : Home health agencies provide nurses, physical therapists, occupational and speech therapists as ordered by your doctor. They can also provide a weekly bath aid.

Home care agencies can be contacted directly by families without doctor’s orders.

Home care agencies provide screened, trained and supervised caregivers which can give occasional or continuous respite for you so you can get out and rejuvenate.

These services can be short appointments or up to 24/7 care. These caregivers are compassionate and there to assist your loved one to age in place by providing housekeeping to medication help.

Home Care Advantages & Common Questions Below is a unique insight into the world of caregiving and consideration before choosing the path that is best for you and your loved ones.

Agency Home Care Advantages  Caregiver background checks, reference checks and ongoing drug screening  Liability insurance for accidents and wrong doing, workers compensation insurance for caregiver injuries  Back-up caregivers allow for continuity of care, no breaks in service, and having family/friend to manage

is classified as non-medical assistance with daily activities including personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, ambulatory assistance, medication administration, and nurse delegated care. Although in-home care agencies can manage medications and some minor wound care, they are limited in their medical services.

Q: Will my Medicare or Health Insurance pay for my services?

 Access to RN’s, Case Managers, & schedulers

A: No, both are medical insurances.

The entire home care industry is nonmedical. The only insurance that ensures a benefit for home care is Long Term Care insurance.

 Continuing education and training of caregivers on latest industry techniques

What questions should you ask an agency when deciding on care?

 Industry and Department of Human Services oversight on best practices

Q1: Do you pay your caregivers as employees or as contract employees?

A: It is a State law that all agencies must employ their caregivers as employees.

 Quality assurance programs to ensure standard of care

Our Values

Services

Q: Are “Home Health” and “In Home Care” the same thing?

Q3: If I am unsatisfied with my caregiver what can I do?

A: You should have the ultimate choice in your caregiver. It is wise to try and work out issues, as caregivers want to please you and are willing to adapt, but if you don’t have a choice, look elsewhere.

A: Home Health is a medical service for people who are home bound which includes skilled nursing, at-home physical therapy, pain and prescription management, and wound care. Home Care

Parkinson’s Disease or Lewy Body?

Thousands of American seniors are told they have Parkinson’s disease, when in fact, they do not. For a number of these people, the correct diagnosis is a very similar, but not as well-known disease: Lewy body dementia, also known as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).

Dementia with Lewy bodies impacts as many as 1.4 million Americans, as reported by the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA). That approximation may be too low, given that a number of people who have been incorrectly identified as having Parkinson’s still haven’t been given an accurate diagnosis.

Dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) are considered Lewy body dementias, but there are differences. The most important difference is in the “one-year rule” associated with cognitive symptoms.

Patients with Parkinson’s disease typically do not present cognitive issues until at least a year after mobility symptoms begin.

DLB is the exact opposite, with cognitive symptoms showing up around a year prior to movement issues.

Here are the signs and symptoms of Lewy body dementia that you should know about, reported by the LBDA:

Hallucinations of other senses – Touch or hearing are the most typical. REM sleep behavior disorder – Can appear decades prior to the onset of dementia or Parkinson’s. Repeated falls and fainting – Include unexplained loss of consciousness. Other psychiatric disturbances – Most of these differ from patient to patient.

Is a proper diagnosis crucial? Diagnosing DLB promptly and accurately may mean the difference between life and death, according to Howard I. Hurtig, M.D., Chair, Department of Neurology, Pennsylvania Hospital and Elliott Professor of Neurology. Improperly treating DLB with Parkinson’s medications can result in significant negative effects and even exacerbate symptoms and preclude accurate symptom management.

Funeral & Cemetery Arrangements: Why You Should Pre-Plan A thorough and careful pre-plan for your funeral, memorial service, cemetery and end-of life choices gives you enhanced peace of mind knowing there will be adequate funds to cover funeral expenses and that your wishes, beliefs, and preferences will be met. There are many benefits of the pre-plan and we have covered a few below.

Telling Your Own Story vs Someone Telling It For You:

Locking In Costs vs Inflated Costs:

Pay As Affordable vs Cash Up Front:

Pre-planning and pre-funding generally ensures that your funeral and cemetery arrangements are completely paid for at today’s prices. The funeral and cemetery industry faces inflation, which drives costs up each year. National statistics show that cemetery and funeral costs are expected to double every 7-10 years. By pre-planning, you lock in today’s cost rather than forcing your family to pay inflated costs upon your passing.

Making Rational Decisions Together vs Emotional Decisions Alone: Making these decisions ahead of time allows for more careful consideration of all the options in choosing the funeral and cemetery arrangements that are right for you and your family. Statistics show that more often than not, a widow is left to make these decisions in the worst time of his or her life, upon the loss of their best friend and life partner. These are not times that anyone should be making any kind of financial decision.

56

Thoughtful pre-planning of your arrangements allows you to make choices based on your preferences. Making your wishes known in advance will reduce the number of decisions that your loved ones will have to make and may help make this time of loss less stressful.

Many people assume that savings or life insurance policies will cover the costs of one’s funeral and burial, but when a death occurs, these costs must be paid up front before services are rendered. Pre-planning allows you to pay as affordable with terms to meet your budget verses your family having to pay the entire amount at the time of your passing.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that all of your affairs are in order will give your loved ones peace of mind.

Vision Loss and Retinal Detachment The retina is a thin layer of nerve tissue that lines the back wall of the eye and senses light. If you imagine the eye as a camera, the retina is the film in the camera. The most common type of retinal detachment occurs after the vitreous gel, which fills the back cavity of the eye, shrinks as we age and separates from the retina with enough force to create a tear.

Retinal tears may be associated with the sudden onset of flashes and floaters but may also have no associated symptoms. A tear or hole is of concern because it allows a path for clear vitreous fluid to collect and spread underneath the retina, leading to a retinal detachment. When detected early, a retinal tear may be treated in the office with laser or cryotherapy, greatly reducing the risk of a retinal detachment. Both of these treatments effectively “tack-weld” the edges of the tear to the wall of the eye, preventing fluid from extending under the retina.

Vision loss occurs when there is a retinal detachment. Retinal detachments start in the peripheral anterior-most part of the retina initially leading to a greyish shadow in some part of the peripheral field of vision. Retinal detachments typically progress posteriorly towards the area of central vision, leading to hand motions or counting fingers acuity. A retinal detachment is a medical emergency usually requiring surgery, which fortunately is highly successful.

history of retinal detachment, myopia or nearsightedness (needing glasses to see far away), previous eye surgery and other eye conditions such as uveitis and retinoschisis. Lattice degeneration with thinning of the retina and formation of an atrophic retinal hole is associated with retinal detachments in younger patients.

The symptoms of retinal tears and retinal detachment are the sudden onset of arcs of flashing lights in the periphery, floaters and a peripheral visual field defect. Immediately contacting your eye care provider and undergoing a dilated eye exam can significantly improve your chances of having successful treatment and a good visual outcome.

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 6 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions such as personal care, housekeeping, activities, and group meals. There are three levels of Adult Foster Care Home licenses. The classification system is based on the 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. 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.

Indicates website link available at www.RetirementConnection.com 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 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 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.

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,

These Steps Should Also Be Considered:

Indicates website link available at www.RetirementConnection.com

You Deserve the Best.

A 55 + Community

• 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.

857 Mountain Meadows Dr. Ashland, Oregon 97520 (800) 337-1301 www.mtmeadows.com

You are invited to lunch with us!

• 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).

It is a good idea to review The Substantiated Facility Abuse Complaints at https://ltclicensing.oregon.gov This website contains Facility Adult Protective Services (APS) investigations that constitute abuse as determined by Corrective Action Coordinators.

You're Never Too Old to Make New Friends!

We can easily make friends as young adults but once you leave school, or the working world, you no longer have regular access to respective places or people you shared significant life moments with. It can be difficult to maintain or grow your network of friends when you are retired. Well, it’s time to change this typical thinking, as retirement actually affords the perfect opportunity to spend time with those you enjoy.

A study indicates that close friendships are very important for your physical, mental and emotional health. Your self-esteem and longevity are linked to close friendships.

Let’s learn how you can expand your circle of friends in social communities or after retirement: Socializing: One of the exciting advantages of moving to a senior living community is the variety of social opportunities available, and it is one of the easiest ways to make new friends.

Try to get in touch with other residents and neighbors. Your initiative matters a lot here! Chances are many of your community residents and neighbors will want to get together.

Community events: Whether it’s of interest or not, just attend various events. Even if the event does not seem like something you are really interested in, getting out of the house increases your chances of making new friends. New friends are found in the most unlikely places. Senior Living Communities offer

102

many social activities so that you can engage and make new friends!

Have pets: Animals are our best friends!

Get a pet! Take them for a walk, and start conversations with other walkers. This way you and your pet both can make a new friend!

Although it is not always easy to meet new people after retirement, it is not impossible either. As you try new things and explore, you will come across all kinds of people.

Don’t be afraid to share your passions and interests. If you are willing to put yourself out there and open up; you might uncover your next best friend to be.

Interactive Caregiving What is Interactive Caregiving?

Caregivers who are actively involved with their clients and not FOR their clients are considered Interactive Caregivers.

Activities are planned and involvement with the clients is highly encouraged.

Quality of life is important at every stage of life, but especially for seniors. As we age, our bodies and minds change. We lose people who we depend on and love deeply. Depression sets in and then we begin to let go of things that really matter to us, like independence and personal care. Life happens and many seniors are just not prepared for it. So the question is, how do seniors stay connected as their circumstances change around them? The answer is family, friends, community and Interactive Caregiving.

Less Isolation Today there are increasing strides and medical advances in healthcare, and we are living longer than any generation before us. With Interactive Caregiving, vital and regular interactions with peers produce a greater feeling of connectedness and less isolation.

Interactive Caregiving Ideas

1. Attend plays, movies and other entertainment that seniors previously enjoyed.

2. Encourage socialization with other seniors. Set up shopping trips, lunches out, golf, bowling and other physical activities with friends.

106

Indicates website link available at www.RetirementConnection.com Call us today at: (541) 535-5497

3. Involve seniors in daily housekeeping activities such as folding laundry, dusting, yard work and setting the table.

4. Take time to create a photo album(s), ask questions about the pictures, listen to the stories and help them write down the memories of photographs.

Navigating Hospice: What You Need to Know Considering and beginning hospice care presents sensitive times not only for the individual, but also for their loved ones.

Here are answers to a few questions to help as you begin this journey.

What is hospice?

Those who receive hospice care are seeking comfort and compassion as they near the end of life. The goal of hospice is to help the patient rest comfortably.

Caregivers focus on providing comfort, companionship, and peace.

They provide care wherever the individual calls home, whether it be their own home, a skilled nursing facility, an assisted living community, or an adult foster home.

What does hospice care involve?

Hospice care includes four levels of care: routine home care, continuous care, general inpatient care, and respite care.

Routine home care is a starting point for most patients in hospice because it allows the patient to live wherever they call home while receiving the care they need to help them feel comfortable.

Continuous care is provided for brief periods when the patient has high needs. Hospice nurses or aids care for these patients round-the-clock to avoid hospitalization.

General inpatient care includes any needs that can’t be managed at home. Patients needing this type of care are sent to a hospital or inpatient unit until their symptoms are alleviated enough to be able to return to their home.

Respite care is temporary care provided to give family caregivers a break.

The right time for hospice is different for each individual and family. Hospice is an individualized approach to end-of-life care.

It meets the patient wherever they are in their care.

help transitioning from hospital to home. Our staff are specially trained to help you get back on your feet as soon as possible – in a setting that’s caring and comfortable.

Frequent hospitalization, doctor visits, and skilled nursing stays are a few factors to watch for. Talk with a physician to discuss what will work best for your loved one.

My family member is ready for hospice. Where do I begin?

People who qualify for hospice have a life expectancy of six months or less. To determine if your loved one is ready for hospice, he or she needs recommendations from two physicians. They will determine the life expectancy based on a physical assessment, medical history, and other diagnoses.

How long does hospice care last?

Hospice is an elected benefit meant to serve patients the last six months of their lives. Your loved one is welcome to remain in hospice care as long as they meet the criteria.

Some patients remain on hospice longer than six months and some improve and graduate from hospice care, moving on to independent living or home health. Others remain in hospice care and receive help and comfort as they and their families prepare.
