Medicare and Continuing Care

serious illness or injury can create a need for ongoing care. With the right kind of support, some people can continue to lead independent, productive lives at home. Others may need full-time care outside the home. And for those who cannot recover, end-of-life care may be the answer. Medicare can cover costs for some continuing care needs.

Continuing Care Options: Terms to Know Here is a list of terms relating to continuing care options and Medicare. Benefit Period. This is the way that Original Medicare measures a person's use of hospital and skilled nursing facility (SNF) services. A benefit period begins the day the person goes to a hospital or skilled nursing facility. The benefit period ends when the person hasn't received any inpatient hospital care (or skilled care in a SNF) for 60 days in a row. If the person goes into a hospital or a skilled nursing facility after one benefit period has ended, a new benefit period begins. The person must pay the inpatient hospital deductible for each benefit period. Custodial Care. This is non-skilled, personal care, such as help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, eating, getting in and out of a bed or chair, moving around, and using the bathroom. It may also include care that most people do themselves, like using eye drops. In most cases, Medicare doesn't pay for custodial care. Durable Power of Attorney. This is a legal document that enables someone to name another person, called the attorneyin-fact, to act on their behalf, in the event they become disabled or incapacitated. Home Health Agency. This is an organization that gives home care services like skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and personal care by home health aides. Home Health Care. This includes limited part-time or intermittent skilled nursing 12 N OV E M B E R 2 015

care and home health aide services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, medical social services, durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen, and walkers), medical supplies, and other services. Homebound. A person who is homebound is normally unable to leave home unassisted. To be homebound means that leaving home takes considerable and taxing effort. A person may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for nonmedical reasons, such as a trip to the barber or to attend religious service. A need for adult day care doesn't keep someone from getting home health care. Hospice Care. This is a special way of caring for people who are terminally ill. Hospice care involves a team-oriented approach that addresses the medical, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient. Hospice also provides support to the patient's family or caregiver as well. Hospice care is covered under Medicare Part A (hospital insurance). Living Will. This is a legal document also known as a medical directive or advance directive. It states a person's wishes regarding life-support or other medical treatment in certain circumstances, usually when death is near. Long-term Care. This includes a variety of services that help people with health or personal needs and activities of daily living over a period of time. Long-term care can be provided at home, in the T h E VA L L EY R E V uE

This is a facility that primarily provides skilled nursing care and related services for the rehabilitation of injured, disabled, or sick persons. A nursing facility may also, on a regular basis, provide health-related care services above the level of custodial care to individuals who are not mentally retarded. Nursing Homes. Nursing homes serve as permanent residences for people who are too frail or sick to live at home because of physical, emotional, or mental problems. Nursing homes provide a wide range of personal care and health services, including helping people with dressing, bathing, and using the bathroom. Nursing home residents usually require daily assistance. Power of Attorney. A medical power of attorney is a document that lets people appoint someone they trust to make decisions about their medical care. This type of advance directive also may be called a health care proxy, appointment of health care agent, or a durable power of attorney for health care. Regional Home Health Intermediary. This is a private company that contracts with Medicare to check on the quality of home health care and pay home health and hospice bills. Rehabilitation. Rehabilitative services are ordered by the doctor to help with recovery from an illness or injury. These services are given by nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Examples include physical therapy to help with walking and occupational therapy to provide help getting dressed. Respite Care. This is temporary or periodic care provided in a nursing home, assisted living facility, or other type of long-term care program so that the usual caregiver can rest or take some time off. Skilled Nursing Facility. This is a nursing facility that has the staff and equipment to give skilled nursing care and/or skilled rehabilitation services and other related health services.

he warm mineral waters of Berkeley Springs have drawn visitors over the centuries from Native Americans to colonial notables like George Washington to today's travelers looking for stress relief and a quirky respite from daily routine. The waters flow at a constant 74 degrees in a small state park in the heart of the historic town. They are freely available for the taking from a public tap or for wading in the largest open display of spring waters in the Blue Ridge. A thriving spa community has grown up around the springs. Berkeley Springs boasts three times as many massage therapists as lawyers with a menu of more than 50 cutting edge spa treatments available daily to 21st century health seekers.

W E S T

Wander charming and peaceful streets in the National Historic District within the 1776 town boundaries around the springs and indulge in all the pleasures of a nationally recognized art town from distinctive shops, galleries and antique malls to fine dining restaurants. Whether you are captivated by the vintage movie house or the Victorian castle on a hill overlooking the town or the Sunday Farmers Market, there is no mistaking Berkeley Springs for someplace else.

HERITAGE AREA

By Rachel B.K. Nichols Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area www.heartofthecivilwar.org

ur nation's single bloodiest day of war forever changed the hopes and dreams of 23,110 soldiers. That day was September 17, 1862, when the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first incursion into the north during the Civil War was halted following 12 hours of vicious combat on what is now the Antietam National Battlefield. Of that day's casualties, nearly 20% were killed, close to 80% were wounded in battle and the rest were missing in action. One out of every seven wounded men died within the next few weeks. Twenty-three thousand, one hundred and ten. It's an impossible number to picture. The annual Antietam Memorial Illumination presents a unique opportunity to sense the sheer magnitude of that day's carnage as 23,110 luminary candles are placed throughout the battlefield in memory of those lives that were shattered. The event is being held on December 5, 2015. For more than 20 years, the Illumination has awed tens of

thousands of visitors who make the five-mile drive through the battlefield. The mood is somber as the caravan winds its way through the battlefield where there are flickering candles as far as the eye can see, each representing one soul lost on that fateful day. Touching not only the hearts of the viewers, the illuminationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than 1,500 volunteers have formed a deep connection to this meaningful event. Some groups have been part of the effort since the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception. This year, the public is invited to participate in an adjunct illumination on the grounds of the historic Newcomer House, which is located within the park. All are invited to dedicate a luminary in memory of a loved one by visiting Newcomer House where they will be able to write their personal message on a luminary bag. Newcomer House will be open Saturdays and Sundays in October and November and on the day of the Illumination, December 5, from 11:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. The house is located at 18422 Shepherdstown Pike, Keedysville, MD ThE VALLEY R EV u E

The Newcomer House on the Antietam Battlefield serves as the Visitor and Exhibit Center of the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area.
