Medicaid Planning - How to Pay for With the monthly cost of care in a the Nursing Home nursing home averaging $8,500 in Without Going Broke the Denver and Boulder metropolitan area, one of the greatest challenges faced by elders and their families is how to pay for such care.

For many, the Medicaid Program is there to help.

To qualify for Medicaid for longterm care, the Medicaid applicant: (1) must need a nursing home or assisted living level of care; (2) have gross monthly income of less than $8,039 (the income of the well spouse is not included in this calculation); and, (3) not have more than $2,000 in “countable assets.” “Countable assets” do not include: a home, an automobile, prepaid burial/funeral plans, small life insurance policies, medical equipment, and most personal property.

For married couples, there are some very important protections.

First, the well spouse is entitled to keep $1,991 of the couples’ income (increased to a maximum of $2,981 if the well spouse has certain additional qualified expenses). Then, in addition to the home, car, personal property and other exempt assets, the well spouse is also permitted to retain roughly $119,000 in countable assets.

If a Medicaid applicant has countable assets in excess of the permissible amount ($2,000 if single; $119,000 if married), there are

16 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2015-2016

Medicaid planning strategies which can be used to protect your estate.

One set of strategies involves converting excess countable assets into exempt assets. For instance, the well spouse might use some of the assets in excess of $119,000 to make improvements to the home, purchase a newer automobile, prepay burial/funeral plans for both spouses, etc.

The other set of Medicaid planning strategies involves giving away assets.

This only works if it’s done just right. There are penalties for giving away assets to create Medicaid eligibility. If done properly, however, a significant portion of a person’s assets can often be preserved.

Because Medicaid is a very complex and rapidly changing area of law, and this is only a brief summary, individuals considering Medicaid should seek the assistance of a knowledgeable Elder Law attorney prior to acting on any such information.

Bookkeeping for Family When you take on the financial Fiduciaries fiduciary role for a parent or family member, one of the most important aspects of the processes is bookkeeping.

It is critical to give this area thought, especially if there will be a transition from your parent doing their own bookkeeping to you doing all the bookkeeping. If you have siblings, being transparent in the bookkeeping process is very important and supports trust and shared understanding of the parent’s financial situation.

Cultivating good bookkeeping habits makes tax time a snap as well as providing appropriate records to support your fiduciary decisions.

If you are good with computers, bookkeeping can be managed easily

using QuickBooks, or other bookkeeping software. Most software allows you to download bank and credit card transactions directly and the software has become smart enough that once you categorize a transaction, it will remember that item and automatically put it in that account category when the transaction occurs again. If you are not good with computers, a simple paper system is easy to set up and does not have to be arduous.

Bookkeeping for Family Fiduciaries continued accuracy before payment is made.

A system to keep receipts either digital or by hard copy is very important. The industry standard is to have a receipt that exactly matches each payment you make and serves as your back up document. This is critical for medical expenses at tax time, as well as important to maintain transparency.

There are also great tools available to provide secure funds to a parent or loved one for household expenses.

The True Link prepaid Visa Card is designed specifically for fiduciaries to provide funds that are secure.

This card allows you to set spending

parameters and receive alerts for a variety of transactions to quickly and easily monitor card activity and balance.

A good bookkeeping system reduces your time and stress, and allows you to attend to the many other fiduciary tasks that come up when caring for a parent or family member.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Long Term Acute Hospitals Long term acute care hospitals (LTACH’s) (LTACH’S) provide specialized medical, nursing, and rehabilitation services for patients who need more advanced care for their recovery process, but who no longer require services in a traditional acute care hospital.

Patients typically have a chronic or medically complex medical condition that requires hospitalization for an average of 25 days or more in a facility that offers a 24/7 specialized treatment program.

LTACs are Post-Acute Care hospitals…they are not to be confused with Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs). appropriate conditions treated in the Long term acute Hospital are: ■ Medically Complex ■ Respiratory Disorders including Tracheostomy ■ Ventilator Dependent ■ Cardiac/Cardiovascular Conditions ■ Renal Disease ■ Wound Care ■ Reconstructive and Extended Post-Surgical Care ■ Rehabilitation Related Diagnosis with Complex or Tertiary Needs ■ Oncology the top admitting diagnoses in the Long term acute Hospital are: ■ Respiratory Failure (Ventilator weaning, high flow oxygen) ■ Infectious Disease (IV antibiotics, infection monitoring)

Extensive Wound Management (Ulcers, Fistulas, Surgical) ■ Parenteral Nutrition (Abd. wounds, Post-op) ■ Multiple Trauma (Multiple fracture/deconditioning/malnutrition) ■ Head Injuries (CVA’s, TBI’s) ■ Dialysis (ESRD, ATN) ■ Medically Complex Patients ■

the following differentiates Ltacs from other levels of care: ■ Attending Physician and Consultants: – Daily Hospitalist Rounding – Pulmonologists – Nephrologists – Surgical Specialists – Physiatrists (PM&R) ■ Procedures: – Dialysis – Bronchoscopies & Chest Tube Management – X-Ray – Line Placement (Central lines, PICC lines) – Telemetry/ Cardiac Monitoring & Continuous Pulse Oximetry – Wound Debridement ■ Medications – Pharmacist on site – IV therapies (abx, etc.)

Starting an Exercise Program: We recognize and have heard time What Do and again that the key to staying healthy is proper diet and exercise.

Seniors Need?

But “exercise” can be quite vague to those who encounter age-related physical obstacles or have never been part of a fitness regimen.

Few activities are more important to senior health than those which help improve balance, flexibility, strength and endurance.

Simple practices around the house can help improve balance or strength without disrupting daily routine.

Standing up from a chair or walking up stairs can improve a sense of balance and build muscle strength when practiced and repeated.

Even bending over to pick something up can be beneficial.

In addition to building strength and balance, endurance exercises are important to maintaining heart health and metabolism. This can mean anything from raking leaves to going for a bike ride –it’s simply important to increase the heart rate. And for individuals with joint problems, swimming allows seniors to access all of the challenges and benefits of exercise while easing strain on problematic areas.

It’s also good to remember that keeping the mind active and atten-

40 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2015-2016

tive is just as important as physical health, often driving the body’s overall health. Some of the best exercises for both body and mind are derived from Eastern cultures.

Tai chi is an excellent practice for older adults. Yoga has many different forms, but all include a two-fold approach: holding and maintaining a series of postures while focusing on breathing. Before attending just any yoga class, make sure it is specifically tailored for older adults to ensure comfort and safety.

I can say over and over how important it is to our physical wellness to practice balance, strength, endurance and stretching, but perhaps the ultimate benefit of exercise programs is an increase in self confidence.

This helps alleviate several fears seniors may have, whether it’s of falling or of not being able to complete a task.

REHABILITATION HOSPITALS Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury or other medical conditions.

They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/or Speech), and

interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day.

REHABILITATION HELPS SCOTTSBLUFF RESIDENT RETURN TO FAVORITE ACTIVITIES

NORTHERN COLORADO REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

R

ehabilitation is a medical specialty that helps people recovering from disabling diseases or injuries such as strokes, brain, spinal cord, or orthopedic injuries.

“Rehabilitation helps patients to improve their quality of life and reduce subsequent illnesses or problems,” says Dr. Revelyn Arrogante, Medical Director of Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital. “The goal is to help a person reach the highest level of function possible – physically and cognitively. For some, this may mean learning to walk again or how to maneuver a wheelchair. For others, it may mean learning how to communicate with loved ones.”

For Judy Hartman, a Scottsbluff resident, it meant getting her life back.

Today, you can find Hartman gardening, camping, swimming, or even jet skiing. But two years ago, she thought none of this was possible.

After a serious car accident, she was left in a wheelchair and could only walk about 5 feet with assistance. She was referred to Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital.

“Even though it was more than two hours away, I was so glad I could get treatment at a hospital that’s nationally known for its care,” Hartman says. “I would have traveled even further to reach them if I had to.”

Patients like Hartman who receive rehabilitative services often experience positive results in regaining or improving productivity and independence. For example, a national study commissioned by the ARA Research Institute, shows that patients treated in inpatient rehabilitation facilities live longer, have less hospital and ER visits, and remain longer in their homes without additional outpatient services.

With Hartman, after 10 days of individualized therapy – and much determination – she could walk on her own, perform daily activities and was able to go home.

“While I don’t wish for anyone to need these services, the good news is that we have rehabilitative services available to us right here in Johnstown that are recognized among the top 10 percent nationally,” Arrogante says.

Hartman agrees. “They are my Angel Army,” she says. “They provided me with optimal conditions to heal and find peace. Two years later, I’m still so thankful and overwhelmed by the staff’s care and compassion.”

because of juvenile eye disease, a working aged adult who struggles with Diabetic eye disease, or an older loved one who has Age-Related Macular Degeneration, the outcome is the same. Vision is lost and they have to learn to adapt.

According to the 2014 US Census, approximately 15% of Coloradoans are experiencing medical issues that leads to low vision, including diabetes. Low Vision is defined as the loss of vision that cannot be corrected through the use of prescription lenses and cannot be fixed through medical interventions.

A person with low vision may find it difficult or impossible to accomplish activities such as reading, writing, shopping, watching television, driving a car or recognizing faces.

This is where adaptation becomes a necessity. Because many people who are currently living with vision loss are over 60, (1 in 6 people over the age of 60) adaption maybe very difficult. The team at the Ensight Skills Center for visual rehabilitation urge Coloradoans to reach out to find services that will help walk them through the difficult transition. A skilled team of professionals, like the team at Ensight, can facilitate skills training, modifications

to activities, and introduce devices that can help to manage tasks. For more information visit www.ensightskills.org “Learning about a diagnosis and how to adapt is the most positive step a person can take. Taking the fear out of vision loss through education helps our clients get back to activities they both love to do, and need to do.” says Ensight’s CEO, Denny Moyer. “Often,

What to Expect When You Hire Home Care You might ask a caregiver to prepare breakfast, or help with some basic household chores. Perhaps you need assistance transferring your loved one from the bed or transporting him to medical appointments, whatever your needs, licensed caregivers help by providing nonmedical care and companionship to older adults in the places they call home.

How to Hire a Caregiver The process of hiring a caregiver begins the moment you call an agency. Many licensed agencies can be found in this guide, others through a Web search, or by referrals from area senior centers or the county department of aging.

After you reach out, most agencies will provide a free, in-home assessment to help identify the scope of care and then develop a comprehensive care plan for your loved one.

You should also expect a home care agency to match your loved ones’ needs and preferences to a caregiver who shares similar expertise and interests. If the match doesn’t lead to a comfortable connection, ask the agency to provide another caregiver.

And don’t be afraid to ask about caregiver training and agency hiring

practices. The best agencies will adhere to rigorous requirements including criminal background checks, drug screenings, and a check of the driving records.

Ongoing Updates and Communication While caregivers offer daily assistance, expect agency administrators to handle the business end of billings and scheduling. Some may even help families access their long-term care insurance to cover the costs of home care.

This kind of administrative support allows the caregiver to do what she does best, care for your loved one and to document the daily routine so that family members and other care providers can stay up-todate on the older adults’ needs.

When hiring home care look for the agency that not only delivers compassionate care to your loved one, but also provides peace of mind for the entire family.

HOSPICE CARE

HOSPICE CARE - DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions HOSPICE Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with care at home or in a healthcare facility.

The goal is to assist patients to live the last stage of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than treatment.

Services Provided: N-NURSE – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family teaching as needed SW-SOCIAL WORKER – Assesses patient and family emotional and social needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, referrals and support to meet identified needs CHAPLAIN – Assesses patient and family spiritual needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, assists with memorial preparations.

HOME HEALTH AIDE – Provides direct personal care to patient, emotional support to patient and family, reports identified needs to RN. VOLUNTEER – Provides respite and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement.

Levels of Care: RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private

residence, a retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility.

RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Longterm care facility.

GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or

INDEPENDENT LIVING / RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

“Growing Old Isn’t The Betty Davis bluntly stated: For Sissies” “Growing old isn’t for sissies.”

Wise decisions about how your parents or loved one will live their Golden Years begin with having a plan and openly exploring best options for one’s next life adventure.

Begin the conversation Saying “goodbye” to a home where a lifetime of memories has been made is never easy.

Discuss how the family will manage such change.

Talk about what the next step should be, and what will define the new home.

Research and identify options Based on your goals as a family, research and select senior living community options you can investigate further. Visit websites, look for testimonials (and critiques), understand operations and lock-in-on the things that are most important.

Schedule a visit Once you’ve identified your choice options, request a visit. While touring, be aware of things such as cleanliness, security, and the overall ambiance of the property. Observe how happy the residents and employees are while paying attention to how they interact with one another.

94 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2015-2016

Learn about amenities and services Find out about the amenities and services of the community, and evaluate how nimble they will be as the needs of the residents change.

For example, what are their dining options; what type of programs are in place; are friends, children or grandchildren welcomed to participate in programs; does the community provide a continuum of care; what is their approach to memory care and Alzheimer’s; do they have residential options for couples with different healthcare needs; what is the longevity of their staff; do they provide transportation (and what is the schedule and level of flexibility); do they have a physician on-site?

Understand the financial model Senior living communities vary in financial models. Take care in understanding current and future costs. For example, “buy-in” models can start at a cost of $250,000 and exceed $1,000,000, and sometimes are duplicative of insurance plans. A rental-plan means that there is a monthly payment due.

Rental models often provide more

Assisted Living is Assisted Living is big business.

Big Business!

Senior care communities are expanding rapidly in response to our aging population. Baby boomers, people born between 1945 and 1964 now represent 25% of the total population.

Seniors have more choices than ever for care options. One alternative that some families are unaware of is a group home. A group home is a single family home, licensed by the State of Colorado to offer assisted living services. This option is often not considered because these homes are tucked away in ordinary neighborhoods.

You may have a group home in your neighborhood.

Group homes offer the same services such as bathing, dressing, meals and laundry but for fewer residents. Most group homes have five to eight residents. A group home feels more like the home your mother lived in prior to needing assisted care. Research also shows that people with dementia respond better in a home environment. Residents do not sit alone all day in their apartment, they are helping fold laundry, setting the table or making the salad. These activities give the residents a sense of purpose and

100 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2015-2016

belonging.

Most experts agree that the single most important factor when considering options for a loved one is the care that is offered. The most important person is the caregiver that interacts every day with your loved one. When evaluating senior care, look past the fancy amenities and take a good look at the way the business is managed. Look at the care staff, look at the company training standards, and ask the staff if they are happy. The care staff sets the tone for residents. If the staff is cheerful and well trained the residents will receive excellent care.

Four of the caregivers at MillBrook Homes have been nominated this year for The Pat and George Sugerman Award (an award offered by the Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association to a professional caregiver that offers outstanding care).

While no one plans or expects to fall ill or become injured requiring a hospitalization, even fewer people think that they will not be able to go directly home from the hospital.

However, when you no longer need the amount of care provided in the hospital, but are not able to safely return home, your care team will recommend continuing your recovery in a skilled nursing facility.

Skilled nursing facilities provide care and rehabilitation for people who are not yet able to care for themselves at home. The goal of your stay in a skilled nursing facility is to participate in physical, occupational, and speech therapy while being under the care of a medical team including nurses and doctors, in order to regain your mobility, strength and health to return home safely.

Physical therapists (PT’s) will help you improve your strength, endurance, and balance to increase your ability to get in and out of bed and a chair, walk better, climb stairs, and help to reduce your risk of falls.

Occupational therapists (OT’s) help you return to completing your activities of daily living, including dressing, bathing, meal preparation, leisure activities, and the use

of adaptive equipment and activity modifications.

Speech and language therapists (SLP’s) evaluate for and treat problems with swallowing, speaking, thinking, and memory to work on the skills and cognition required to live independently.

During your stay your medical care will be overseen by a physician and you will be under the daily care of a registered nurse (RN) who will assist in your medication administration, wound care, and daily assessment of medical conditions. Other members of your care team will include a case manager and social worker who will assist in your discharge planning and ensure you have the services and support you need for a safe and successful transition to home.
