DEAR SENIORS, PROFESSIONALS AND FRIENDS OF THE SENIORS BLUE BOOK,

Welcome to the 11th Edition of the Seniors Blue Book!

Time flies so fast, this is actually our 6th year anniversary this month and the 41st anniversary of the corporate Seniors Blue Book! When Clifton Chadwick founded this publication in 1983, his vision was to create a comprehensive resource that would empower seniors and their caregivers to navigate the complex landscape of aging.

Little did he know that the Seniors Blue Book would become a trusted companion for millions of families across the country.

Over the past four decades, we have witnessed remarkable advancements in senior care, technology, and the overall quality of life for older adults. Through it all, the Seniors Blue Book has remained a steadfast guide, adapting to the changing needs of our community while upholding the core values of

compassion, integrity, and unwavering commitment to our readers. In this spring 2024-2025 edition, you will find a wealth of information on senior services and resources, home health, senior housing and some great articles.

As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, I am reminded of the profound impact that each of you –our loyal readers, dedicated advertisers, and passionate community partners – has had on the Seniors Blue Book’s legacy. Your support, feedback and shared experiences have been the driving force behind our success and for that, I am eternally grateful! May the Seniors Blue Book be a beacon of hope, a source of inspiration, and a trusted companion on your journey through the vibrant and fulfilling years ahead.

“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.”

– Nahum 1:7

The Voice of Summer

Legendary Minnesota Twins broadcaster

Dick Bremer starts a new chapter

For 40 years, most of the major plays of the Minnesota Twins – from long home runs and dominant pitching performances to fans in the stands and the stories off the field – were narrated on television by a Twins fan raised in Dumont, MN, population 73.

In October 2023, legendary broadcaster Dick Bremer announced that he would be stepping away from the microphone and transitioning into a special assistant role in the Twins’ front office at the end of the year. This new role ensures that the revered play-byplay voice remains an ambassador of Twins baseball and continues to represent the organization in the community and among fans, many of whom consider him the voice of their childhoods. Bremer retired as the longest-tenured television broadcaster for a single team in Major League Baseball.

“For 40 years, I’ve been blessed to totally immerse myself in the game that I love for the team that I love,” Bremer said at the time of the announcement. “In those 40 years, I broadcast 4,972 Twins games. Over the last year or so, I thought it would really be cool to make it to 5,000. Then, I thought to myself, how selfish would that be? A broadcast should NEVER be about the announcer. It should ALWAYS be about the game and those who play it. I hope in my final season, I proved that ‘I’ve still got my fastball’, a goal I set when I started with the Twins in 1983.”

Born in St. Paul and raised in Dumont, Bremer’s play-by-play career began with calling University of Iowa men’s basketball. He joined Twins telecasts doing play-by-play on Spectrum Sports from 1983-85 and, after a one-year hiatus, rejoined the broadcast team in 1987,

a place he held until the end of the 2023 season. Along the way, Bremer also called Minnesota North Stars games; Minnesota Vikings pre-season football; University of Minnesota football, men’s basketball and men’s hockey; Big Ten basketball; and the Minnesota State High School League’s football and girls’ and boys’ basketball tournaments. He received the Silver Circle Emmy for Broadcast Excellence in 2013 and was inducted into the Minnesota Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame that same year. In 2020, Bremer authored his best-selling memoir, Game Used. In January, he won the Herb Carneal Lifetime Achievement Award, as decided by the Twins and the Twin Cities Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Though he’s no longer in the booth, a special place at Target Field will forever bear his name. In March, the Twins announced that the club’s Home Opener festivities on April 4 will include several tributes to Bremer. The home television broadcast booth within the Herb Carneal Press Box will be formally

named the “Dick Bremer Broadcast Booth”. After that dedication, Bremer will take the field and throw out a ceremonial first pitch, caught by National Baseball Hall of Fame electee Joe Mauer, whose entire career was narrated by Bremer.

Bremer’s legacy also lives on in his children, Hannah and Erik, both of whom grew up around the Twins and are now forging their own paths in the sports industry. Hannah interned with the Twins, left for a few years and is back with the organization as the club’s Manager, Community Impact. Erik has followed more directly in his father’s footsteps as a broadcaster, working his way up through the minor league ranks –including a stint calling games in the offseason in Australia – and is currently the lead play-by-play broadcaster for the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a Miami Marlins affiliate. When Dick accepted the Herb Carneal Lifetime Achievement Award at the Diamond Awards in January, his family – Hannah, Erik and wife, Heidi – were present, supporting him as he takes this next step in his life’s journey. ~

“I look forward to the next chapter in my life with the Twins and thank Twins Territory for 40 incredible seasons. God bless.”

– Dick Bremer

HWhy You Need a Health Care Directive and Agent

Who will make medical decisions on your behalf should you become unable to speak for yourself?

aving your medical care choices outlined in a health care directive and assigning someone to be your health care agent will help assure your wishes are communicated to your medical team.

A health care agent carries out the choices in a health care directive. It is the person specifically named to speak on your behalf regarding medical decisions when you are unable to speak for yourself.

A health care directive is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding medical treatment. It names your health care agent and guides them in making decisions for your care should you become incapacitated due to an illness, accident or unforeseen circumstance.

Through Supported Decision-Making services, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota can act as your health care agent. We will work with you to establish a health care directive that outlines medical treatments you want to have and those you do not. We will discuss and document situations in which you want treatment and situations where you choose to avoid treatment. We will ask you about your values

and wishes, so we understand how best to honor your choices should the need arise.

As your health care agent, we will:

n Make medical decisions on your behalf when you are unable to communicate them yourself.

n Advocate on your behalf with doctors and medical staff to assure your choices are respected.

n Communicate with family members and loved ones regarding your care choices.

LSS health care agents are trained and certified by Honoring Choice Minnesota. There is no charge for an initial consultation; we do charge an enrollment fee when you sign on. Our affordable fee structure means you only pay for services as you need them.

Get FREE Local Expert Advice from a Senior Living Advisor

hanging homes can be a stressful event. As we age, that event can become even more overwhelming. Today there are so many more choices in senior living. Senior living advisors can help you simplify the process of finding senior housing.

Although online searches and printed materials can help narrow your search, a senior living advisor offers personalized service that you can’t get from visiting a website. They are with you every step of the way through your search, and they are especially helpful in a health crisis when time is short, and you need care now. Everyone wants to avoid a crisis, yet they do happen.

What do local Senior Living Advisors provide?

u Education on all types of senior living options; buying vs. renting, continuum of care options, independent living vs. assisted living, dementia care, why would I need a skilled nursing facility?

u Information on the cost of care

u Narrow the search based on your preferences, care needs, and finances – saving you time and stress!

u They arrange the tours and will often tour with you.

u Compare your options to help you make an informed decision.

u Support as you make the move with resources you may need.

What is a typical process when working with a Senior Living Advisor?

1Completion of an intake or “needs assessment” which covers support/ care needs, preferences, geographic requirements and financial situation.

2Identify housing options in your preferred location.

3Determine the best 3-5 options matching criteria.

4Set appointments by making referrals.

5Tour the residence with you and aid you in the decision-making process.

6Recommend or refer you to other resources needed with the move.

This is FREE!!

Senior Living Advisors are paid by senior housing communities when their referring client moves in. When county assistance is needed for the Elderly Waiver program through Medical Assistance, Senior Living Advisors can help provide you with the best options in your preferred location.

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell” (Parts A, B & Medigap Plans)

Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional Medicare supplement also known as a “Medigap Plan.”

Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance

Generally no cost

(If you paid Medicare taxes while working)

$1,632 deductible (per benefit period)

It is possible to pay the $1632 deductible and other daily charges for multiple stays & extended care.

Plan covers: Inpatient hospital care, home health care services, hospice, inpatient skilled nursing & more.

Providers are paid by Medicare assignment.

No coverage outside USA.

No out-of-pocket maximum.

Many people add a Medigap plan, Part D or an Advantage Plan (Part C) to fill the “gaps” in the coverage.

Medicare Part B Medical Insurance

Most people pay monthly $174.90 (Premium could be higher based on income)

$240 annual deductible. (this can increase each year)

80/20 after deductible.

Plan covers: health care providers, ambulance, emergency care, outpatient surgical, wellness & other Medicare approved benefits

Most doctors accept Medicare.

No coverage outside the USA. No out-of-pocket maximum.

Many people add a Medigap plan, Part D or an Advantage Plan (Part C) to fill the “gaps” in the coverage.

A & B are designed for people over age 65 and those with certain disabilities

Supplemental Policy Plans A - N Medigap

Premium varies by company, age, location & other factors.

Guarantee Issue at initial enrollment

(Other special enrollment periods may be avalable)

These plans generally pay the 20% not covered by Part B & other Medicare eligible benefits

When this coordinates with Medicare, many benefits are 100% covered

Can provide benefits outside USA

Plans are available through insurance companies.

Important to add Part D plan to cover prescription drugs & avoid penalties.

Must have Part A & B to enroll.

There is NO additional cost to use the services of a full time insurance professional. Please call us or a broker in your local area for additional assistance.

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”

Med

Advantage (Part C) with RX (Part D)

Medicare Advantage plans are governed by Medicare. They are only offered through insurance companies that have an annual contract with Medicare. They are NOT the same as Medigap policies. They must cover all Medicare approved services. Most Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage.

Advantage Plans Part C

INSTEAD of a Medigap Plan (A-N)

Premium varies by company and coverage. (Same premium for all ages).

Part B premium $174.70 is still paid (Premium can be higher depending on income)

There are many plan types available: PPO, HMO, HSA, etc.

Plans have co-pays and / or coinsurance for covered benefits & services.

Preventive care is covered 100%.

Plans have an annual out-of pocket maximum.

Plans may have additional services and discounts, including dental, vision, gym membership & more.

There is an Annual Election Period (AEP) which runs from October 15–December 7 of each year. This is the time to make changes in company or coverage.

Must have Part A & B to enroll.

Medicare Part D Drug Program

Premium varies by company and coverage. (Same premium for all ages).

Plans are generally a variation of the following:

Deductible (Phase I)

$0–$545 deductible

Initial Coverage (Phase II) co-pay coverage until the total cost of the drugs = $5,030

Coverage Gap / Doughnut Hole (Phase III)

The member now pays much more for covered drugs 25% generic / 25% brand. There is a drug manufacture discount on certain drugs that can count toward the “True out-of-pocket” (TrOOP). You remain here until the $8,000 (TrOOP) has been met. It’s estimated you will pay about $3,300 of the $8,000.

Catastrophic Coverage (Phase IV)

$0 for covered drugs on the plan’s formulary for the rest of the calandar year

Approved formulary insulins are no more than $35 per month.

Part D can be separate with Medigap & PFFS plans. There is a penalty for late enrollment into Part D.

Annual Election Period is Oct 15–Dec 7 each year

Must have Part A or B to enroll.

Aging in Place: A Closer Look at In-Home Care

n-home care offers a viable and often preferable alternative to facility-based care for many individuals, providing the necessary support while maintaining comfort, independence, and dignity at home. Care can range from services such as personal care, light housekeeping, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.

BENEFITS OF IN-HOME CARE

n Personalized Care: Tailored to meet the specific needs and providing 1:1 care.

n Comfort: Allows seniors to stay in a familiar home environment.

n Independence: Supports autonomy and self-sufficiency.

n Flexibility: Care schedules can be adjusted according to needs.

n Family Involvement: Easier for family to be a part of care decisions and routines.

n Peace of Mind: Personalized care provides peace of mind for clients and their families.

PREPARING FOR IN-HOME CARE

For many, selecting a care provider is arguably the hardest step in this journey. Once you have chosen a quality care team, it’s time to make any final preparations before care begins.

n List out specific care needs and preferences. Take the time to list out specific care needs and preferences, including daily schedule, dietary restrictions, and any physical limitations that need to be addressed. This will help the team provide personalized and effective care.

n Discuss care plans with others. Discuss the care plans with family members, spouse, or friends to ensure everyone is on the same page and to allocate responsibilities accordingly. Open communication and coordination among everyone is crucial for a smooth and efficient caregiving experience. This may include identifying if other tasks family members were assisting with can be done by a caregiver moving forward.

n Create a schedule. There are several tasks that can be done each week, however identifying preference on time and days each week will provide consistent care and a smooth transition. For example, identifying days to take a shower, go to the grocery store or complete any laundry will create a task list each week for the care team.

Choosing in-home care is a decision that encompasses much more than addressing physical care needs. It’s about fostering lives with dignity, respect, and compassion. With diligent consideration and support during the transition, in-home care can provide a dignified, respectful, and compassionate way of life.

Health Care that’s Built Around You

“When it comes to living ‘the good life’, medical care may often be necessary but is never sufficient.” – Dr. Bill Thomas, MD

There’s a better way to age. No matter how many candles are on the cake, no one wants to miss out on life’s adventure because they’re on a roller coaster of hospitalizations and subsequent recuperations. This up and down cycle of sickness, injury, rehab, and re-injury almost always ends with lost independence. But this is how many seniors wind up living – or not getting to live – in the sick care system of senior health. Aging doesn’t have to be this way.

Lifespark has a proactive approach to senior care.

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 Long-term 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 other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

24/7 ADMISSIONS – 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.

AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

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. 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

IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or build-

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.

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 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.

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.

PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness –whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in

a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

When Is the Right Time to Move into a Senior Living Community?

ging is an inevitable part of life, and as our loved ones grow older, it becomes crucial to consider their well-being and living arrangements. Determining the right time for a senior to move into assisted living, memory care or a long-term care community is a decision that requires careful consideration and understanding their unique needs. Let’s explore the factors that indicate when the time might be right for a transition to a senior living community.

1Health and Mobility:

One of the primary indicators that it might be time is if there are changes in health and mobility. If a senior is experiencing difficulties in performing daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, or managing medication independently, it could be a sign that additional support is needed. Senior communities are equipped to provide assistance with these activities while ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.

2Social Isolation:

Seniors who find themselves increasingly isolated due to the loss of a spouse, friends, or limited social activities may benefit greatly from this transition. Loneliness and

social isolation can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. At Broadwell Senior Living, we offer a wide variety of opportunities for social engagement, fostering connections with peers and providing a supportive community.

3Safety Concerns:

As physical and cognitive abilities decline, safety becomes a significant concern. If a senior is at risk of accidents or injuries at home, a senior living community can provide a safer environment with features such as handrails, emergency response systems, and trained staff available around the clock. This ensures a quick response in case of emergencies, reducing the risk of falls or other accidents.

4Caregiver Burnout:

For family members taking on the role of caregivers, burnout can be a significant issue. Balancing work, personal life, and the responsibilities of caregiving can be overwhelming. Recognizing when the demands become too much and seeking the support of assisted living can ensure that your loved one receives the necessary care while relieving the strain on family caregivers.

Saint Therese – A Twin Cities Legacy

Saint Therese has been a staple in the northwest metro of the Twin Cities since the 1960’s. But those new to the area, or from other parts of the metro, may not be as familiar with our history, who we are and what we offer.

Our Beginnings – Our legacy started in New Hope with local businessman Jerry Choromanski, who had a vision to build the first Catholic nursing home in the area. A man guided by faith, Choromanski followed the example of St. Therese of Lisieux who was known for “doing ordinary things with extraordinary love.”

This sentiment became our mission and is our touchstone every single day. We work hard to serve a larger purpose by establishing a place where everyone feels welcomed, valued and loved. This is done at our five communities throughout the metro.

Saint Therese of New Hope – Founded in 1964, this was our very first community and the first Catholic nursing home in the area. It eventually added independent and assisted living apartments and a transitional care unit, along with a vast outdoor patio that provides fresh air, gardening and views of the nearby golf course. Inside is a welcoming space that counts generations of families among its residents. This is our only community that accepts people needing Elderly Waiver.

Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake – We strengthened our reach in the north metro with this community in the northern part of Brooklyn Park. Opened in 2006, this community has the full continuum of care – independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and transitional care. It is tucked into a residential neighborhood, and among its amenities is a full gym and warm saltwater pool.

Saint Therese of Woodbury – Opened in 2016, this was our first full continuum of care community in the east metro. Its main campus has independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and transitional care. Separately, it has luxurious senior living apartments, called The Redwoods, all of which provides an active and vibrant senior loving option in this fast-growing city

Saint Therese at St. Odilia – Nestled on the grounds of the Church of St. Odilia in Shoreview, this is our most intimate community. It is an eight-bedroom residence in a tranquil and compassionate setting focused on hospice and palliative care. It is known for its caring, dedicated staff that provide comfort and end-of-life care.

Saint Therese of Corcoran – In 2024, we’ll expand our mission into the far northwest metro. Our Corcoran community will have independent living, assisted living and memory care. It will include multiple dining options, an outdoor amphitheater, a wellness center, warm saltwater pool and a golf simulator. It will also welcome pets. We expect this community to open in the late summer of 2024.

continued from page 144

5Decline in Cognitive Abilities:

If a senior is experiencing cognitive decline, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia, assisted living communities with specialized memory care programs can provide the structured environment and trained staff needed to ensure the well-being and safety of individuals with these conditions.

6Financial Considerations:

While not always the primary factor, financial considerations play a role in the decision-making process. Senior living costs can vary, and it’s essential to assess the senior’s financial situation, explore available resources, and plan accordingly. Some commu-

nities offer different levels of care, allowing flexibility in budgeting.

Deciding when it’s the right time for a senior to move into senior living is a complex and individualized process. It involves careful consideration of all the items above. At Broadwell Senior Living, we provide communication between the senior, family members, and our healthcare professionals to help you make an informed decision that prioritizes the well-being of your loved one. Our goal at Broadwell is to provide a supportive and enriching environment that allows seniors to age with dignity and comfort. Please call us for a free consultation at 763-7623610. ~
