Understanding Continuing Care Retirement Communities

F

rom Active 55 communities to rentals, seniors have choices when it comes to where they will live after retirement. One commonly misunderstood option is the continuing care retirement community (CCRC).

People often categorize CCRCs with nursing homes and associate them with a loss of freedom and personal identity—but this is far from accurate.

20

Vicinity Magazine â€

November 2019

Here is the truth behind some CCRC myths:

Myth 1: CCRCs are just fancy nursing homes.

CCRCs offer a range of senior living options in one location. Residents live independently in maintenance-free apartment homes and enjoy the convenience of having a range of services and resources right on campus.

CCRCs also offer continuing care options.

This is ideal for seniors who want to live independently, with peace of mind that higher levels of care are available, if needed.

Myth 2: I can’t afford it.

Expenses like utilities, property taxes, and meals are covered by a monthly fee that stays the same all year long. You won’t be burdened with surprise repairs. Home maintenance is included.

In addition to predictable expenses, CCRCs like Lantern Hill in New Providence, provide access to a host of convenient on-campus services, including transportation, a fitness center, pool and on-site medical center.

Myth 3: My family won’t get any money back if I pass away.

If you’re not careful, this myth can sometimes be a reality. Fortunately, there are several different types of CCRC fee structures to choose from. Look for a Type C fee-for-service community, like Lantern Hill. You’ll secure your apartment with a one-time entrance fee that is 90% refundable to you or your heirs. Most importantly, you only pay for higher levels of care if you need them—an approach that could save you thousands of dollars.

Myth 4: I’ll never fit all of my stuff into an apartment.

The number one concern most seniors have about moving from their house is downsizing. Lantern Hill has a team who will help you downsize, find a real estate and moving professionals and even help you with furniture placement.

Can Cold Weather Cause

ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS?

D

o you have a trick knee that can predict rain? Do your hands get sore when the temperature starts to drop? As autumn—and then winter— approaches and the weather changes to colder and damper conditions, many people with arthritis anticipate an uptick in their symptoms.

a 2007 Tufts University study suggests that every 10-degree drop in temperature corresponds with a slight increase in pain for people who have knee osteoarthritis.

“The science is far from clear, but anecdotally, many of our patients notice that their symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis are more severe in cold or damp weather,” says Eric Mirsky, MD, chair of Summit Medical Group’s orthopedics department.

One theory that many arthritis researchers have is that precipitation or temperature is not at play when it comes to weather and arthritis symptoms, but rather barometric pressure. Barometric pressure is a measurement of the weight of the air. It is believed that drops in barometric pressure cause the fluid inside joints to swell. For already-inflamed, sore joints, that can mean more pain.

Researchers aren’t sure how—or even if—weather affects the joints. A huge 2017 study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found no link between rainy days and joint pain. On the other hand,

“There may be something in the weather— or changes in the weather—that affects symptoms of arthritis,” says Dr. Mirsky.

The most common forms of arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)

have no cure, but they can be managed— in any weather condition. If you have joint pain caused by arthritis, contact Summit Medical Group Orthopedics. We can recommend a treatment plan that’s right for you and your individual situation.

Direct Access to Physical Therapy Speeds Recovery Patients Get Better Faster Thanks to State Policies Enabling Direct Access to Physical Therapists

W

hen it comes to the world of physical therapy, many prospective patients aren’t aware that state policies enabling direct access to physical therapists have made the path to getting beneficial physical therapy faster, easier, and more convenient than ever before.

“The former concept behind physical therapy was that it was physiciandriven,” shared John Gallucci, Jr., MS, ATC, PT, DPT and CEO of Woodbridge, NJ-based JAG-ONE Physical Therapy.

“Before, a patient in need of physical therapy would have to go to a physician to get a prescription for PT, then contact their insurance carrier to find

out which physical therapy providers were in-network with that carrier in their area.” The bottom line? “It was often an involved and lengthy process and represented a barrier to people getting back to full functionality and mobility,” he said.

As a licensed physical therapy group that practices across 56 convenient locations in three states (New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania), Gallucci said that JAG-ONE Physical Therapy can help get patients on the road to long-term recovery and is an in-network provider for all major insurance carriers. Because patients can just walk into a facility, it was important for us at JAG-ONE PT to

become an in-network partner with all of the major insurance companies in our area – Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Workers’ Compensation and now UnitedHealthcare & Oxford – so we can best serve as a medical resource to the local community. Now, our patients don’t have to worry about out-of-network costs and can get care as quickly as possible.

Jag-One Physical Therapy 461 Main Street, Chatham 240 Cedar Knolls Rd, Hanover

Tips for Recognizing Ripe Fruits Strawberries: Check the area at the top of the berry near the stem and leaves. A ripe strawberry is fully red; green or white near the top means the fruit is underripe.

Watermelon: The “field spot,” or the area where the melon sat on the ground, should be yellow, and a tap on the rind should produce a hollow sound.

K

eeping fresh fruit around the house provides a healthier alternative when your sweet tooth comes calling. Understanding how and when to buy at the peak of ripeness (or just before, in some cases) can help you avoid food waste while keeping your doctor happy.

Consider these simple tips for recognizing ripe fruits: Cherries: Flesh should appear dark with a crimson color and feel firm.

32

Vicinity Magazine

Blueberries: Similar to cherries, color should deepen to dark blue. A reddish or pink color may be visible in unripe berries.

Blackberries: Look for a smooth texture without any red appearance. Because blackberries don’t ripen after being picked, they tend to spoil quickly.

Pineapple: Smell is again an important factor for pineapple - a sweet scent shows it’s ready, but a vinegary one likely means it’s overripe.

November 2019

Cantaloupe: You should detect a sweet smell, and the melon should feel heavy upon lifting.

Peaches: A sweet, fragrant odor should be apparent. Skin should feel tender but not soft.

Raspberries: Generally follow the same rules as blackberries. Best eaten within a couple days of purchase, a bright red color represents ripe berries.

Bananas: A ripe banana features a peel lightly spotted without significant bruising.

Your best bet may be to purchase bananas still slightly green and allow them to ripen at home.

Barry Farber

Going to bed at a good hour is important.

The body has circadian rhythms that help the body function properly and be healthy.

We are programmed to getting up when

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light and going to bed when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark.

Some light bulb idiot invented the electric

(laughter) and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all been downhill ever since (more laughter). Also, people are

not getting enough sunlight! Sunlight is like a nutrientâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we need it. We have been misinformed to stay out of the sun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly the opposite. The sun is healthyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;

just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get sunburned.

We are cave dwellers. We live in caves and then we go out in our mobile cave to another cave.

We are never out in the sun. Historically people were out in the sun all day. You get a tan and that protects you from the sun and of course the nutrients in a good diet also protect you from the sun.

If people want to take charge of their health and learn more about how to get well and stay well, I recommend they read one of my books. The Great American Health Hoax explains why, if you are sick with a chronic disease, conventional medicine has little to offer. It also contains a maintenance list for the human body that provides the information you need to accept responsibility for your health.
