Our mission at Seniors Blue Book is to provide the most accurate and comprehensive information available that can help our senior population age with dignity and grace.

Trying to stay in your home, but need some assistance? Or are you a family caregiver who needs support? If so, then Adult Day Health services could be the answer to your questions and concerns. Adult Day Health programs help seniors stay in their homes and communities for as long as possible, by providing a safe, day-time environment with meaningful and therapeutic activities like exercise or gardening, as well as opportunities to socialize with peers and make new friends. Additional services include skilled nursing care, nutritious meals, social services, and door-to-door transportation. Family caregivers benefit from respite during the day, support and education. What should you look for when considering Adult Day Health? First, learn about your options by visiting the Massachusetts Adult Day Services Association website at www. madsa.net for a list of programs in your area. Next, call and schedule a visit at the one or two centers near you, to meet with the staff and gather more information. Be sure to ask what type of programs or activity groups are offered on a daily basis, what level of training the staff have, and how they assess participants’ needs. If memory care is needed, inquire about activities designed for those who have cognitive impairment and make sure the center is secure.

Your local Alzheimer’s Association chapter can also provide information about appropriate programs. Other things to consider include transportation services, policy for absences and payment options. While some Adult Day Health centers are private pay only, most accept MassHealth (Medicaid), State Home Care, Veterans’ Administration funds, and Senior Care Options plans. Sometimes private long-term care insurance policies will reimburse for Adult Day Health. Compared to assisted living or home care, Adult Day Health is often more accessible and affordable. Once you or your loved one starts attending an Adult Day Health program, it is important to try it out for at least two days a week, for four to six weeks, to give you an accurate sense of the program and level of adjustment to the new routine. Keep in mind that it is normal to be anxious or somewhat resistant at first, but most participants adjust well and have a good time. A quality program will recognize that seniors thrive emotionally and physically by having social connection with others, meaning, and purpose in their lives.

How to Prepare Financially If you ask people, many of for a Longer Life them will tell you that they are not afraid of dying so much as they may be afraid of outliving their resources. No one looks forward to the time when you can no longer care for yourself.

When that time comes, your ability to live as good a life as physically possible will depend on what preparations you make today. Exercise, eat right, stay mentally fit and financially prepared. Long-term care can be expensive and costs can quickly impact a person’s financial security. People are living longer, which increases the odds of developing a chronic illness that could require on-going care. If the day comes that you are unable to do basic things, such as dressing yourself, getting in and out of bed, eating a meal or going to the bathroom alone, you will need to be prepared for the costs of paying professional caregivers for the help you need. As health care costs escalate, an increasing number of people are protecting themselves by planning for long-term care. Though Medicare covers skilled care for acute conditions such as heart attacks and broken bones, in general, it does not cover the custodial care required for chronic medical conditions. When making your plans for a secure retirement, it’s also important to consider long-term care needs as a way of helping to protect your assets

22 BOSTON METRO WEST – SuMMER-FALL 2015

so they aren’t exhausted by possible extended-care costs. By planning ahead, you can help maintain your independence and help ensure you have financial security to live your life your way. There are quite a few factors to consider when planning for long-term care. For this reason, it’s important to work with a financial professional who understands your needs, and who can design a plan that will meet those needs at a cost you can afford. Specifically, look for a financial professional who is supported by a well-established company with a solid history of strength and stability. A company that is well-positioned to deliver long-term value and will be there when you need it most. The right long-term care plan can provide you with options on how you receive the care you need and where. It gives you choices about how your final years are lived and where. And maybe, with such a plan can help reduce the fear of outliving your resources.

Alzheimer’s Association In November 2014, the Alzheimer’s Association ® Massachusetts/ New Hampshire Chapter launched its newest campaign, “Power and Purpose – Live. Life. Today.” The program is directed at people living with mild Alzheimer’s disease or a memory disorder with the goal of helping these individuals live the best life possible. Research has shown that staying active and engaged in life is one of the most powerful ways to manage a disease of this nature. The program itself will focus on four areas; Education, Consultation, Engagement, and Advocacy. Education is based on the simple truth that knowledge is power. The program teaches about Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and helps the individual or family facing the disease to better understand the challenges and how to best control each step. Learn about strategies to manage day-to-day from programs including the 4-session MindSet where individuals can share experiences and learn from others in similar situations. Consultation is the direct availability of working with an Alzheimer’s Association trained consultant who can help you to choose the path that meets your personal plan of action. Working with a trained consultant can help the individual with the disease to best control the various difficulties they face on a daily basis and better allow them to engage in daily activities.

Engagement refers to the exercising of the body and mind and promotes events such as theater, sports, music, discussion groups and more. An online events calendar connects individuals with activities in their community and presents opportunities to get out and engage within their community. Finally, Advocacy offers the chance for these individuals to use their powerful voice for research and programs that will make a difference. The Alzheimer’s Association can help you to become an effective advocate for Alzheimer’s issues. No one better understands Alzheimer’s disease than those living with it. For more information about the program, call 800.272.3900 or visit AlzToday.org and let us help you to Live. Life. Today. About the Alzheimer’s Association: The Alzheimer Association provides services and programs for those with Alzheimer’s, family and professional caregivers in the form of support groups, a 24/7 Helpline, care consultation, advocacy efforts, and education programs. The Alzheimer’s Association is also the world’s leading nonprofit funder of research into causes, treatments and, someday, a cure. For more information about Alzheimer programs, visit www.alz. org/MANH or call 800-272-3900.

Moving Day Boston, a Walk The National Parkinson Foundafor Parkinson’s tion’s (NPF) Moving Day ® is a ®

unique fundraising and awareness-raising event held by local communities across the United States. With a festival atmosphere, Moving Day is not your traditional fundraising walk/run. The course is a shorter, family friendly route, so that participants can walk, run, or roll side by side, some with a goal of one loop. Before the walk, Moving Day participants spend time exploring sponsor tents, actively participating in demonstrations of health and well-being that are found to help manage the symptoms of Parkinson’s such as yoga, Zumba, dance, boxing and engaging in family fun and the Kid Zone. This fundraising event is designed to create greater awareness – not just of the importance of movement, but of Parkinson’s itself, a complex and chronic movement disorder. You can sign your Moving Day team up today at www.movingdayboston.org. Our first Moving Day ® Boston event was held on Saturday, October 11th where we raised nearly $160,000, well over our initial goal of $100,000! The majority of net proceeds stay local to benefit our Centers of Excellence, the Movement Disorders Centers of Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in

addition to local programming. Parkinson’s disease affects 1.5 million people in the US and, according to the National Institutes of Health, about 50,000 new cases are reported annually. It is a chronic neurodegenerative illness with variable progression over time. Many features of the illness can cause increasing disability over an individual’s lifespan. Your support will not only assist researchers in providing better treatment options and care for people with Parkinson’s, but through this event, we hope to educate patients, their caregivers, healthcare professionals and the general public about Parkinson’s to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. The 2nd Annual Moving Day® Boston will be held once again at DCR Artesani Park in Brighton, Massachusetts on Saturday, October 10, 2015. If interested in joining the movement, you can sign your team up at www.movingdayboston.org or email the event manager, Pat Nelson, at pnelson@parkinson.org with any questions. We hope to see you at Moving Day® Boston! Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Patrick Nelson, Moving Day Coordinator-Boston, National Parkinson Foundation. See ad on page 63.

once A Warrior – You and the US Department of Always A Veteran! Veterans Affairs Networks of Care It has been said that a definition of “Veteran” is someone who at one point in their lives made a check out to the United States of America pledging “everything up to and including my life”. For most Veterans, the gravity of that commitment makes a life-long impact. With only 8 percent or less of the US population having ever served, our Veterans find themselves in a relatively elite category of American society. Whether in combat or peacetime operations, short tours or career service, anyone who has ever served can proudly claim the title of “American Veteran”. With that title comes a wealth of comprehensive care services provided by the hospitals and clinics of the Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA) and the benefits and compensation packages provided by the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA). Anyone who has served can testify to an intense sense of comradery almost without parallel in the human experience. That same sense of community continues to exist and is an essential part of the unique environment at our facilities. No one understands the unique needs of American Veterans and is more powerfully equipped to deliver quality care than the VA! Savings! Most Veterans find that VA care comes with significant

savings when compared to the constantly rising costs of the commercial care industry. There are no premiums and conditions resulting from injuries or illnesses incurred from their time in the military are treated entirely free of charge. Between the VHA and the VBA our array of services includes: ■

Quality care! “Best Care Anywhere!” The title of this 2007 book investigating American healthcare says it all, decisively concluding that overall, today’s VA hospital system stands head and shoulders above the rest. This may be a surprise to some but Continued on next page

certainly not to the vast majority of Veterans who take advantage of these exceptional services every day. Locally, the VA Boston Healthcare System (VABHS) is the largest integrated care system in the region and has easy access at fully equipped community based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) located in Framingham and Lowell. Of 150 major VA facilities nationwide, Boston has received a 5-star ranking for quality in 12 consecutive quarters. This is great news for local Veterans and those who care for them!

to help others in need. RSVP is one of the largest volunteer networks for people 55 and over.

You can use the skills and talents you’ve learned over the years, or develop new ones while serving in a variety of volunteer activities within your community. RSVP organizations are making a difference by helping people in partnership with non-profit organizations throughout Massachusetts and the United States. At Norfolk County RSVP, many men and women between ages 55 and 95 are stepping forward to help tutor elementary school students, assist in food pantries or deliver meals on wheels. Others are receptionists and friendly visitors at local hospitals and senior centers, others write thank you letters to active duty military service members or drive veterans to medical appointments. Bill Topham of Needham is an RSVP Rides for Vets driver. He has been driving for over a year and averages at least one ride a week. He drives a veteran in Norfolk County from home to one of the VA hospitals in Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury or Brockton for a medical appointment and back home again. “Some guys do not have any family

or friends to drive them to important medical appointments,” Bill reflects. He feels that this program makes a big difference for vets in need. When asked why he volunteers as much as he does, he replies: “For the sake of doing good… it gives me meaning.” With the assistance of federal and county funding, Norfolk County RSVP volunteer drivers such as Bill are reimbursed mileage and offered supplemental driver insurance coverage for their service. All program volunteers are invited to an annual appreciation lunch where they can be acknowledged and celebrated for their spirit of giving. Service opportunities are as diverse as the communities in which RSVP volunteers serve. Volunteers choose how, where, and how often they want to help, with commitments ranging from a couple hours to 20 hours per week.

The use of technology at home for the purpose of keeping seniors safe and independent is not a new concept. In fact, the basic medical alert system has been around for over forty years. These systems have evolved slightly over that time but they still are very limited in their capabilities and often serve to deliver a false sense of security to the wearer and/or family. Technology is being called on to keep pace with the powerful trend of seniors demanding to age gracefully at home. AARP data confirms that 96% of seniors would prefer to live at home. To support this, one of the latest trends in home-based safety technology for seniors are systems that can provide much more than simply limited “fall risk intervention”. These newer systems can deliver real-time “passive” safety monitoring, requiring no action on the part of the senior. This means you’re protected even if you forget to wear or press a pendant or are unconscious from a fall. Using virtually invisible sensors throughout the home or apartment, the system also identifies changes in patterns of behavior that might suggest a physical, emotional or mental change; a change that left unaddressed could lead to a fall, a diabetic complication, unrecognized cognitive impairment, a safety hazard or other such preventable incident. Motion sensors, “presence” mats, door and re-

frigerator sensors, and even integrated medication dispensing systems wirelessly feed data to a small base unit that also serves as a two-way safety communicator. By proactively and passively monitoring activity (or lack of activity) in the home, advanced systems today can serve as a true CRISIS PREVENTION system, by identifying risks early, and taking incremental steps to alter care well before a crisis arises. New to the market, these advanced home safety monitoring systems offer a way to initiate or enhance a care plan at home. Systems today are very affordable (not much more than a daily cup of coffee), require no wiring or Internet, and can be customized to meet the needs today, and as the needs change over time. The system offers customized alerts and messages, including phone calls, for medication or doctor’s appointment reminders. Your caregivers or anyone interested in your well-being that has a smartphone, tablet or computer can get instant, real time alerts, messages or simple insights into how you’re doing at home. It’s more than a superficial peace of mind…it’s real data, that can be acted on before a crisis happens and an accident ensues.

potential Home Care Agencies.

A question of serious consideration is caregiver continuity. Families should inquire of potential agencies as to how many caregivers will be taking care of their loved one and will they be the same caregivers. The continuity of caregivers is of the up-

most importance for care recipients that have cognitive challenges such as brain injuries, Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia. Many different caregivers arriving to care for the cognitively challenged can cause stress and confusion. Caregivers that are familiar to the care recipient and know how to interact with them makes the care experience much more pleasurable and successful. Continuity of caregivers is very helpful to involved family members. Consistent caregiv-

ers know the client’s daily routine, where things belong, how things are done around the home and the timing of key activities such as medications, bathing and meals. It is very important that a caregiver team be created, trained and familiar with a care recipient. The caregiver team concept is especially true for clients who receive many hours of care. A caregiver team will know a client’s baseline and observe changes, both positive and negative, that will be communicated to the family. Caregivers that work together will provide the best care experience for the care recipient and the family. A team will also provide coverage for each other during absences so that that family does not have to step in to provide care coverage.

RE-Respite Care – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Ideally,

this service is provided for five consecutive days. 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 Long-term care facility, at no cost to the patient or the family. 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.

HOSPICE CARE

HOSPICE - DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 97 that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team. 24/7 ADMISSIONS – Can a patient be admitted to the particular hospice agency 24/7? If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice, 24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays. GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Each hospice agency will have a grief and bereavement support program. Many provide grief groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting. INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients. Many Hospice agencies utilize social workers to help find resources for indigent families. LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Massage has become one of the fastest growing trends in therapy for hospice patients. Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-

on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients. MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. A music therapist is not just a music performer, but actually trained in counseling and music. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/ singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide to their patients. PAIN PUMPS AVAILAbLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency.

RESOuRCES FOR AGING WELL

PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. For some patients, contact with these

gentle animals evokes memories of pets in their lives, past or present. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare, it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients.

HOSPICE CARE

PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care. Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria.

SeniorsBlueBook.com

VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care.

(Sec 236) Property owners in this program make mortgage payments that are based on a 1% mortgage interest rate. HUD then provides a subsidy to their lender to cover the difference between 1% and the market interest rate on the property’s loan. Participating households are required to pay rent equal to the greater of 30% of their adjusted income (not to exceed the market rent) or the basic rent amount set by HUD for that particular property. Any amount paid by the household that is more than basic rent is considered excess rent, which the owner pays back to HUD in repayment of the subsidy.

ASSISTED LIVING COMMuNITIES

Considering an Assisted Living Based Homebound elders are often Psychiatric Program overlooked and forgotten. Many homebound elders are withdrawn and depressed, suffer with anxiety, and are afraid to come out of their homes. These elders have mental illness and are in need of help. When living safely and soundly at home is no longer an option, a geriatric psychiatric assisted living facility should be considered. Geropsychology is a branch of psychology that seeks to address the cognitive and mental health concerns of older adults. Mental health disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorder), neurocognitive changes, depression, anxiety, and age-related illnesses all increase the need for older adults to seek psychological care in a supportive setting. A multi-disciplinary team should offer an extensive array of services to this high-risk population in a specialized setting. The program is designed to provide both short term respite care and long term psychiatric care. Assisted living based psychiatric programming should be overseen by a licensed physician with a specialty in Psychiatry and include wellness support form clinically trained geropsych nurses, mental health counselors and social workers. Residents can arrive either from a hospitalization or directly from home. They are evaluated, sup-

can offer the same psychological support and medication management of the Geropsychiatric Health Center in a less restrictive setting. The residents are encouraged to participate in regular assisted living activities both within the facility as well as in the community. This provides a more encouraging and supportive atmosphere to ease their integration back into the community. Therapeutic services provided to those on both the Geropsychiatric Health Center and the Transition Program should include: n

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

difficult. When debating if mom should stay in her current home or move to a secured memory care community, you first need to ask yourself, “Is she safe?”

Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias cause a number of changes in the brain and body that may compromise safety. Depending on the stage of the disease, your loved one may experience changes in: Judgment: Forgetting how to use everyday household appliances. n Sense of time and place: Getting lost in one’s own neighborhood; being unable to recognize or find the laundry or bathroom in your own home. n Behavior:Becoming easily confused, suspicious or fearful. n Physical ability: Having trouble with balance and mobility. n Senses: Changes in vision, hearing and depth perception. n

If you decide your loved one can no longer live safely alone and would benefit from memory care assisted living, there are many things to consider in selecting the best community to meet their needs. Consider each community’s location, cost, life enrichment programming, quality of food, physician services, and security of outdoor space, just to name a few. For most people, however, the decision comes down to the feeling they get when they tour a commu-

nity. It’s a lot like the feeling you get when shopping for a new home. Usually, you know from the moment you walk through the door whether or not it’s the right fit for you. The decision to place a loved one with cognitive impairment in a memory care community can be challenging not just for you, but for your loved one as well. Minimizing the number of moves is essential to making the process easier. Routine and familiarity are key factors in creating an environment that will best support their quality of life and enhance their wellbeing. After residents move into EPOCH of Weston’s Memory Care Assisted Living community, they never have to move from this campus again because we offer a continuum of care, including palliative and end-of-life care. In this way, we promote the concept of “aging in place.” We are able to provide a seamless transition to our long term care unit, located on campus, if and when a resident needs 24-hour nursing care. Our team at EPOCH of Weston is here to help you navigate complex placement decisions.

Bringing the Concierge to The decision to move into a Skilled Nursing nursing home can be a difficult one. According to research by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), nearly 90 percent of seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age, which is often referred to as “aging in place” (Farber & Shinkle, 2011)

When aging in place becomes impossible or impractical, the next best thing is a facility that offers the comfort and convenience of home. Many skilled nursing facilities are improving their overall ambience and programming to make residents feel welcome and fulfilled. Chris Russo, Director of Customer Service at Watertown Health Center, describes how his company aims to personalize a resident’s experience and bring boutique-style services to their facilities throughout Massachusetts. Such personal touches as a Concierge welcome, where every new resident is escorted to their room after Admission, make a big difference for seniors who are embracing a new lifestyle. “We know that arriving at the facility for the first time can be a difficult transition and we want to make sure there is someone with our new residents every step of the way to make them feel at home,” says Chris. New residents receive a welcome basket along with an amenity tray filled with pastries and fresh fruit, and a personal, handwritten note

from the Concierge. Concierge services are available around the clock, whether for a midnight snack or assistance with arranging a special event, allowing residents to exercise their individuality and maintain their independence. To keep loneliness and boredom at bay, it is crucial to help new residents develop a network of friends and to provide a wide variety of recreational activities. A caring staff will introduce new admissions to a number of other residents, who may share common interests, helping to develop a vibrant social circle which is an integral part of a healthy, joyous lifestyle. An important part of acclimating to a facility is being assured of visits from loved ones. Watertown, for example, offers a complimentary chauffeur service to family members of new admissions for the first thirty days. Because choosing the right facility is a difficult decision, the chauffeur service is also available to those who would like a facility tour, any time of day or night. The right nursing home will provide the benefits of skilled nursing while preserving the nurturing atmosphere of home.
