Take the Stress Out of Finding Long-Term Care Services

NEW TOLL-FREE NUMBER

by JEFF CARMACK | Texas Health and Human Services

W

ith the rapidly aging Baby Boomer cohort—the so-called “Silver Tsunami”—comes another great wave, the need for long-term care.

Fortunately, there’s a service that makes it easier for Texans to find it.

The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) launched a toll-free number, 1-855-937-2372, that connects people with trained professionals who can assess callers’ needs and put them in touch with long-term service providers in their area.

How big is this issue? The latest U.S. Census data show that the aging population in Texas is growing fast—Texas expects its 3 million 65-plus population to more than double to 7.5 million by 2040.

Additionally, approximately 40 percent of Texans have some type of disability that may require long-term care. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that 70 percent of people over the age of 65 will need some type of care before the end of their life. And the Family Caregiver Alliance says about 45 million Americans are already providing that care for an aging family member.

16

www.SRGserv.com

With one phone call, people can now handle a task that once took days or even weeks.

• The job of finding services for this population often falls to the “sandwich generation”—those who take care of aging parents while also supporting children. This new toll-free service will make that job a lot easier.

• Callers will enter the ZIP Code corresponding to where they need services; they will be routed to one of 22 aging and disability resource centers (ADRC) for assistance. ADRC staffers are experts on the ins and outs of state and federal benefits for those who might need long-term care.

• Through this toll-free number, DADS can help those who already qualify for Medicaid or Medicare, as well as those who need help in determining their eligibility, connect with long-term care providers.

• Texans who are older, have a disability, or are working as caregivers, can get the help they need faster and more efficiently than ever before.

What Is Long-Term Care?

Long-term care is kind of what it sounds like—services that you will receive for a long time. Sometimes services can be provided in your home. Other times you may get help in a facility, such as a nursing home.

Long-term care includes things like: • Help with monitoring your health or taking medication.

• Help with bathing, dressing or using the bathroom.

• Help with preparing meals or getting meals delivered.

• Help with cleaning or maintaining your home.

• Help with getting to and from medical appointments.

• Providing a break (also called respite care) for the people who care for you.

If you are older or have a disability, there may be some things you no longer can do for yourself. Call 1-855-937-2372 to talk to a trained professional who can start you on the road to getting the services you need.

DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE

Home Care vs Home Health Care How can I determine if home care is necessary?

When self-care at home becomes difficult and/or family caregivers are not available to assist, home care may be the answer. Home care often relieves family members of basic caregiving functions and makes it possible to spend quality time, rather than the functional caregiving time.

Home care is often easier and faster than moving to an institutional care setting and allows the senior to stay at home in familiar surroundings.

What is home health care?

When the need is for more than home and personal care, a home health care agency may be required. Home health care provides skilled medical services (such as administration and adjustment of medication levels, monitoring and dressing of wounds, etc.) in the home by trained medical personnel. Home health care is always ordered and supervised by a physician.

What is home care?

Simply put, home care is non-medical, personal assistance provided in the home. Home care may include help with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. It may include a wide range of services: taking and recording vital signs, assistance in the bathroom, light housekeeping, meal preparation, companionship, grocery shopping and pharmacy errands, home safety supervision, medication reminders, bill-paying, laundry, and transportation.

Will my insurance cover the costs?

Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances are sources of payment for receiving home and home health care. Home Healthcare services are typically medically necessary. They are paid for by Medicare or other health insurance, and have been ordered by a physician. Private duty home care services are typically paid for privately, or using long-term care insurance, reverse mortgage proceeds, or Veterans aid and attendance pension benefits, or some combination of any of these programs.

Assessing An Aging Parent DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE

If you suspect that a loved one may be having difficulties, here are a few key areas to observe.

• Life Tasks Life tasks include two areas: Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, feeding and grooming; Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLS) such as shopping, meal preparation and house cleaning.

• Safety Areas to be mindful of: finances, cognitive, driving, elder abuse, health • Physical/Mood/Mental Health Are there any noticeable changes?

• Medication Safety and Management Are they forgetting to take their medications, getting them mixed up or not remembering to refill a prescription?

What To Do When Parents Resist Help Problems in each of these areas make a loved one susceptible to problems in other areas, so it’s important you ask questions.

Keep the following in mind.

• Make sure you’ve heard and validated their emotions • Consider the possibility of cognitive impairment • What are their goals and what trade-offs might they be willing to make • Distinguish what you need from what they need 26

Need Long-term Care?

DADS Can help

by JEFF CARMACK | Texas Health and Human Services

Most of us don’t like to think about long-term care but there’s a good chance that, sooner or later, we’ll need it. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 70 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will need long-term care services at some point in their lives.

If you or someone you care about needs long-term care, Texas Health and Human Services can help. The agency offers a wealth of information to connect you to resources, healthcare providers and services that help you live healthier.

VISIT the website at www.dads.state.tx.us. Click “Help For Texans” and find information on services for people with medical or physical disabilities, intellectual or developmental disabilities, for older adults, and for caregivers who need a break from their duties.

When you go to this page you can start the application process that will let you know if you qualify for services.

CALL 1-855-937-2372 for information. Although you may not qualify for services, HHS can still steer you in the right direction.

The 28 area agencies on aging offer help to Texans age 60 and older, their family members and caregivers to locate and access local services, including benefits counseling, legal assistance, care coordination, caregiver support services, in-home support and the ombudsman program.

DIAL 2-1-1 Texas, a program operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, connects Texans with the services they need. Accurate, well-organized and easy-to-find information from more than 60,000 state and local health and human services programs is available by phone and online. For more information, dial 2-1-1 or visit www.211texas.org.

been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now...

The MDHearingAid PRO ® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price.

Over 75,000 satisfied PRO customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registeredhearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune.

The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a medical-grade hearing aid.

MDHearingAid PRO ® gives you a sophisticated high-performance hearing aid that works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. You can contact a hearing specialist conveniently on-line or by phone —even after sale at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. Now that you know... why pay more?

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR

45-DAY RISK-FREE TRIAL!

Hearing is believing and we invite you to try this nearly invisible hearing aid with no annoying whistling or background noise for yourself. If you are not completely satisfied, simply return it within that time period for a

100% refund of your purchase price.

So it’s time to take the next step.

Who do you call?

by Liz McNeel

Certified Senior Housing Professional, KellerWilliams

Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) are among the most respected real estate professionals in the market. They are more equipped than general real estate agents to address the needs of senior adults and are committed to serving as partners throughout the entire consultative process surrounding a late-in-life move.

Who are CSHP realtors?

CSHPs are caring and compassionate advocates, skilled business people and master collaborators. When an older adult needs a team of experts to assist with a complex move, their Certified Senior Housing Professional is fully educated and prepared to serve as both a guide and a consultant, providing referrals as well as personal service from start to finish.

Why choose a CSHP ?

While their profession is selling real estate, CSHPs have a strong vocation to serve. Their commitment to assisting as trusted advisor and advocate ensures that their senior clients will get what they want and under the terms that best meet their goals and desires.

Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) know that to best serve the diverse transition needs of senior adults, they must surround themselves with a trusted resource team.

When looking for a realtor, be sure to look for the CSHP designation.

Alzheimer’s disease presents many challenges, and communication is a big one. Despite the challenges, you can communicate effectively with a loved one who has Alzheimer’s. Consider these tips provided by the Mayo Clinic staff: • Speak clearly. Introduce yourself. Speak in a clear, straightforward manner.

• Show respect. Avoid secondary baby talk and diminutive phrases, such as “good girl.” Don’t assume that your loved one can’t understand you, and don’t talk about your loved one as if he or she weren’t there.

HOUSING: Memor HOUSING y Care

Tips for Effective Alzheimer’s Communication

• Stay present. Maintain eye contact, and stay near your loved one so that he or she will know that you’re listening and trying to understand.

• Avoid distractions. Communication may be difficult—if not impossible— against a background of competing sights and sounds.

• Keep it simple. Use short sentences and plain words. As the disease progresses, yes-no questions may work best, and only one question at a time is best. Break down requests into single steps.

• Don’t interrupt. It may take longer than you expect for your loved one to process and respond. Avoid criticizing, hurrying and correcting.

• Use visual cues. Sometimes gestures or other visual cues promote better understanding than words alone. Rather than simply asking if your loved one needs to use the toilet, for example, take him or her to the toilet and point to it.

• Don’t argue. Your loved one’s reasoning and judgment will decline over time. To spare anger and agitation, don’t argue with your loved one.

• Stay calm. Even when you’re frustrated, keep your voice gentle. Your nonverbal cues, including the tone of your voice, can send a clearer message than what you actually say.

Preparing Presenting a

by JOHN B. EARTHMAN

Eulogy

T

he purpose of a eulogy is to acknowledge and share information about a person’s life. It is a great honor for someone to present and it’s an important part of the grieving process for the presenter, as well as the audience.

A good place to start is to make a list of thoughts and memories you’d like to share. While others might not be comfortable or able to give their own eulogy, they might find great comfort in sharing memories with you that you could incorporate into the eulogy. Things you might include are stories, quotes, expressions of love or prayers, all of which can be delivered in a serious or humorous manner depending on what you feel is appropriate.

In an effort to have the audience connected and involved in your tribute, the eulogy can be compiled from private memories that your audience might not be aware of as well as personal traits and details of the loved one that all will remember. You will want to include any accomplishments or honors no matter how big or small that were especially important to your loved one. Memories shared should always acknowledge the person in a positive manner and recognize them for who they were accurately.

Once you are ready to write the eulogy, decide on how you will begin, then pick the main thoughts and memories that you wish to share and finally determine how you will close. You need to properly introduce yourself when you begin and have a summarizing statement to share when you close. You can read from your notes, but practice giving the eulogy and change any part that does not feel like natural conversation in your own words.

Presenting a eulogy can cause great anxiety. Stopping at any time to collect your thoughts or emotions and then continuing when you are ready is understandable and acceptable. If you decide that you cannot continue, simply skip to your final statement. It is the message about the impact of your loved that is important, not the delivery, so just be yourself.

A qualified applicant can be an immediate family member (by blood or marriage), a legal guardian, or the legal representative of the person for whom the document is requested. If you are not a qualified applicant, you may request a verification of a birth or death record.

Fees charged for copies of birth and death certificates by the different county offices may vary slightly – contact your local office about cost for copies of Birth and Death Certificates.

Certified copies of the birth and death certificates are issued with a state seal and are printed on security paper. Heirloom birth certificates have a different cost and are printed on special paper that boasts a design celebrating Texas.

The heirloom certificate ($60) is only offered through Austin, Texas.

Funeral homes will supply certified copies of a death certificate for a small fee if requested at the time funeral arrangements are made.

It is recommended that you get at least twelve copies of the certificate and notify anyone with whom the deceased had an account.

Understanding

by Senior Resource Guide

H

Hospice

ospice care is a philosophy of care that accepts dying as a natural part of life. When death is inevitable, hospice seeks neither to hasten nor postpone it. Hospice provides care, comfort and support for persons with life-limiting conditions as well as their families.

How Does Hospice Work?

Hospice care is for any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness.

All hospices consider the patient and family together as the unit of care. Most reimbursement sources require a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients with both cancer and non-cancer illnesses are eligible to receive hospice care.

The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or the homes of a loved one. “Home� may also be broadly construed to include services provided in nursing homes or hospitals.

Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and when appropriate, helps make decisions for the hospice patient. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided.

Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!

129

Who is the Hospice Team?

Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes, at a minimum, a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers. They work together focusing on the dying patient’s needs; physical, psychological, or spiritual. The goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible until death.

The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient’s individual needs for pain management and symptom control.

How is Hospice Paid for?

Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and private insurers. If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided.

Who is Eligible for Medicare Hospice Benefits?

Hospice care is covered under Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance).

You are eligible for Medicare hospice benefits when you meet all of the following conditions: • You are eligible for Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance), and • Your doctor and the hospice medical director certify that you are terminally ill and probably have less than six months to live, and • You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare covered benefits for your terminal illness, and • You receive care from a Medicare-approved hospice program.

Please note: Medicare will still pay for covered benefits for any health problems that aren’t related to your terminal illness.

What Does Medicare Cover?

Medicare covers these hospice services and pays nearly all of their costs: • Doctor services and Nursing care • Medical equipment (like wheelchairs or walkers) • Medical supplies (like bandages and catheters) • Drugs for symptom control and pain relief • Short-term hospital care, including respite and inpatient for pain/symptom management • Home health aide and homemaker services • Physical, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy • Social work services and Dietary counseling • Grief support to help you and your family Please note: You will only have to pay part of the cost for outpatient drugs and inpatient respite care.

The Medicare Hospice Benefit Does Not Cover the Following: • Treatment intended to cure your terminal illness. You should talk with your doctor if you are thinking about potential treatment to cure your illness.

• Medications not directly related to your hospice diagnosis. Hospice team 130

www.SRGserv.com

members will consult with the hospice physician and will inform you and your family which drugs and/or medications are covered and which ones are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit.

• Room and board aren’t covered by Medicare. You may receive hospice services wherever you live, even in a nursing home, however, the Medicare Hospice Benefit does not pay for nursing home room and board.

Respite Care and Medicare Respite care is care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest. As a hospice patient, you may have one person who takes care of you every day, like a family member. Sometimes your caregiver needs someone to take care of you for a short time while they do other things that need to be done. During a period of respite care, you might be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice residential facility, hospital, or nursing home.

How Do I Begin Receiving Hospice?

Anyone can inquire about hospice services. You or your loved one may call a local hospice and request services. The hospice staff will then contact your physician to determine if a referral to hospice is appropriate. Another way to inquire about hospice is to talk with your physician, and he or she can make a referral to hospice. Hospice can begin as soon as a ‘referral’ is made by the person’s doctor.

As a hospice patient, you always have the right to stop getting hospice care and receive the “traditional” Medicare coverage you had before electing hospice.

All care that you receive for your illness must be given by your hospice team.

Questions to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Program • What services are provided?

• What kind of support is available to the family/caregiver?

• What roles do the attending physician and hospice play?

• How does hospice work to keep the patient comfortable?

• How are services provided after hours?

• How and where does hospice provide short-term inpatient care?

• Can hospice be brought into a nursing home or long-term care facility?

• Are any of the staff members certified or credentialed in hospice?

• Do physicians visit the patient in the home?

• What is the staff to patient ratio?

• Are any alternative therapies provided to manage symptoms?

• What ‘extras’ does the hospice provide?

Must-Have Legal Documents

by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

W

hether you’re a caregiver or interested in getting your own business in order, we’ve identified five recommended legal documents that every adult should have. There are many online resources that explain in further detail about each document. If you have an attorney, be sure to ask about these documents or there are online resources that provide a free template for you to create your own. Don’t wait until it’s too late—take a moment to get organized.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVE Also known as a living will or health care declaration/directive, this document outlines your wishes for medical treatments and life-sustaining measures, in the case that you are not able to communicate them verbally. Details might include a “do not resuscitate” order (DNR), the use of breathing machines, tube feeding or organ donation. Making these decisions in advance lets medical professionals know what measures to take and grants your loved ones peace of mind, should they have to communicate these decisions for you.

142

www.SRGserv.com

DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE While an advance directive is limited to end-of-life concerns, a durable power of attorney for health care accounts for all health care decisions in the case that you are incapable of making decisions for yourself. In this document, you are able to outline how your designated power of attorney should act. Their authority to make these decisions ends when you are once again capable of making your own decisions.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Many people know this document simply as a “will.” It outlines how your property (including digital property such as email accounts and blogs) should be distributed and to whom. Different states have different requirements for one’s will. In Texas your will must be signed by two witnesses.

LIVING TRUST A living trust designates someone (trustee) to help manage and distribute your assets rather than going through the court system, as in a last will. This often prevents your last wishes from becoming public record. This document also designates terms in which the trustee would set into action, should you be unable to make decisions regarding your assets during and after your life.

FINANCIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY This document designates someone (principal) to do business on your behalf, should you be unable to take care of necessary matters yourself. Tasks designated might include paying bills, selling property, managing assets or applying for medical benefits. Unlike a living trust, a financial power of attorney dies when you do.

FIGHT CANCER

50,000 new cancer patients every year.

1 new marathoner.

At Texas Oncology, our patients are as remarkable as our care.

They’re part of a cancer-fighting community the size of Texas, with 420+ physicians, 175+ locations statewide and thousands of patients on clinical trials. In fact, more than 50,000 Texans choose us every year — including amazing patients like Charlet. She came in for treatment and ran her way to victory over breast cancer.

See her story at TexasOncology.com/Charlet.
