Adult Day Care

Generally operating on weekdays during normal business hours, adult day care programs present a unique “best of both worlds” care solution for many of our frail, impaired, elderly, or disabled loved ones. On one hand, they provide the adult needing care with vital social interaction, professional supervision for health and safety, and nutritious meals. On the other hand, because they go back to their families at night, the loved one also retains treasured independence, valuable time with family, and the distinct comfort of their most familiar environment: home. You should expect an individualized care plan to be developed for social engagement, medication administration, health-related services and monitoring, and assistance with activities of daily living such as eating and personal care. Using an adult day care center can help you to maintain a job, tend to your own family, and take care of yourself amidst the demands of being a family caregiver. If you’re considering adult day care for your loved one, take time to get to know the staff when you visit. Choose wisely and you’ll find the center will be a highly valuable partner for you and your loved one – yielding greater independence for you both. - Lynn Ivey is Founder and CEO of The Ivey, Charlotte’s Only Memory Wellness Day Center.

Aging in Place

According to the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, ‘aging in place’ means not having to move from one’s present residence in order to secure necessary support services in response to changing need. Most American seniors desire to stay in their homes for the rest of their lives. An AARP survey found this number to be greater than 80% of seniors. Several reasons are cited for this strong preference. These include: comfortable environments, feelings of independence, convenience, familiarity, safety and security and proximity to family. 70% of seniors spend the rest of their life in the place where they celebrated their 65th birthday. “Aging in place” successfully requires planning. To accommodate physical, mental, and psychological changes that may accompany aging, physical changes should be made in your home.

“It is when we are in transition that we are most completely alive”William Bridges Change is inevitable but it does not mean that it is always welcomed. Change is even more difficult if you have to go through it alone. The stress and anxiety levels for the person in transition, along with their family members can be a daunting experience. The good news is that no one has to face transition alone. Having a professional Certified Senior Move Manager (SMM-C) to partner with you throughout this process is essential. Certified Senior Move Managers specialize in helping older adults and their families with the stressful process of downsizing and moving to a new residence, or aging in place. The value in having a Certified Senior Move Manager to partner with you is immeasurable. Imagine having a professional team who will create specialized floor plans in order to help create furniture placement ideas.

Consumer Protection Older adults continue to be the “victim of choice” when it comes to investment scams and frauds. Financial fraud against senior citizens is rampant, but the problem is even larger than it was generally perceived. According to a 2010 survey conducted by the nonprofit Investor Protection Trust, one of five Americans 65 and older, or 7.3 million people, has been swindled. To make sure that our older adults avoid becoming victims of investment fraud, the following tips are offered: • Take the time to check out investment offers. A good place to begin is with your own state securities division. Other resources for additional information in helping you make wise financial decisions include the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Federal Securities and Exchange Commission, the North American Securities Administrators Association, and of course, your own Better Business Bureau. • Ask if the seller is registered with FINRA, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or your state securities regulator. Licensing is critical, so be sure to verify if you seller is properly registered. • Don’t believe individuals that tell you about investments that claim that there is no risk. There is always risk with investments. Only a con artist will tell you otherwise. It is important to know the risk before you invest your hard earned money. • Beware of promises and guarantees of large returns on your investments. There is no way to predict how investments will perform. Often the investments that promise the highest return are also the most risky. • DO NOT agree to anything on the spot. Pressure to act immediately is a danger sign of fraudulent activity. • Be cautious when responding to special investment offers through unsolicited emails. Many unsolicited emails are fraudulent. • Don’t judge a person or company by their website. A flashy website

does not mean a company is reputable. Websites can be set up quickly. • Be especially wary of investments in commodities. Con artists often promise that the value of investments in coins, precious metals, artwork, oil leases, gemstones, and other commodities will rise. The truth is that the value of these types of investments is volatile and can go up and down significantly. • Understand your investments. Do you know the difference between stocks and bonds? Margin accounts and cash accounts? Options and futures? Mutual funds and certificates of deposits? If not, don’t invest in anything you are not absolutely sure about. Do your homework BEFORE you invest. • Get all of the details in writing. Legitimate companies are willing to provide information in writing. • Avoid “offshore investments.” These are often promoted as a way to avoid taxes. Actually, a person is still responsible for taxes, and the investments are usually very risky. - Maryanne P. Dailey, MA, Senior Vice President, Better Business Bureau.

GOVERNMENT DENTAL PROGRAM INFO: Dental Health / Oral health National Institute of Health www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/dentalhealth.html Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 1-866-232-4528 The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administers three important federally-funded programs: Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). • Medicare is a health insurance program for people who are 65 years and older or for people with specific disabilities. Medicare dental coverage is limited; it does not cover most routine dental care or dentures. • Medicaid is a state-run program that provides medical benefits, and in some cases dental benefits, to eligible individuals and families. States set their own guidelines regarding who is eligible and what services are covered. Most states provide limited emergency dental services for people age 21 or over, while some offer comprehensive services. For most individuals under the age of 21, dental services are provided under Medicaid. • CMS (1-800-MEDICARE) can provide detailed information about each of these programs and refer you to state programs where applicable. State and Local Resources Your state or local health department may know of programs in your area that offer free or reduced-cost dental care. Call your local or state health department to learn more about their financial assistance programs.

It is important for all of us to have and maintain good health. Many people are often unaware that oral health plays a significant factor in your overall health. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, affects many American adults. A significant amount of evidence has shown that periodontal disease contributes directly to serious health problems including: heart attack, oral and throat cancers, diabetes, stroke, kidney problems, blood related cancers, and pancreatic cancer. In the United States, the top two causes of death are diseases of the heart and cancer; these diseases are responsible for more than fifty percent of annual deaths. According to the National Cancer Institute, each year in the United States, more than 21,000 men and 9,000 women are diagnosed with oral cancer. Most are over 60 years old. Historically, the death rate associated with oral cancer is particularly high not because it is hard to diagnose, but due to the cancer being routinely discovered late in its development. People with no teeth are still at risk for oral cancer and should have routine checkups. We can provide routine oral cancer screenings for our patients to monitor and detect any suspicious areas of the mouth and tissues. Untreated dental decay or cavities are concerns that if not treated can lead to infection or abscessed nerves in teeth; which can lead to infection in your blood stream and cause very serious problems to your general health. The advances in dental technology and skill level of your dentist can make dentistry easy, painless and of course esthetically pleasing. The last topic I wanted to share with you was the proper fit and function of dentures. We prefer dentures to be the last resort if at all possible to replacing natural teeth. For those denture wearers you know the challenges you face day to day: proper fitting to avoid embarrassment if they come loose, the sunken in appearance of the face and of course good function for eating the foods you love! Denture wearers have to be aware that your gums are constantly changing and to assure proper fit your dentures they need to be checked routinely and refitted by your dentist. Facelift dentures™ restore the youth of today’s denture wearers and provide an incredible fit. Your smile is your greatest asset! A great smile and healthy gums will make you feel good, look good to yourself and others and most importantly allow you to eat properly. Remember to schedule annual oral cancer screenings and dental exams to be proactive in maintaining optimal health.

Disability Services Hearing & Vision Disability Services

Disability Services Hearing & Vision As we age, sensory limitations increase our vulnerability and quality of life. Our independence decreases due to the inability to get from place to place easily or to communicate with others. This can lead to isolation and unhappiness. Although people 65 and over are 12.8% of the US population, they account for 37% of people with hearing loss and 30% of people with vision loss. A little known fact is that the number one disability of all Veterans since the Civil War has been hearing loss. As the population increases over the next 30 years, the number of people with vision and hearing loss will increase significantly. But early detection and treatment can address and postpone serious effects of hearing and vision loss. Technology is being developed daily that will provide assistive aids that will increase the independence of someone with a sensory limitation. The businesses and agencies listed on these pages know about the most up-to-date resources to help us maintain our ability to see and hear the world around us.

created to educate lawyers on all aspects of law pertaining to the elderly, while helping the general public identify a lawyer that is knowledgeable and proficient at helping with their specific needs. When dealing with elder law it is advisable to choose a lawyer that is familiar not only with elder law, but one that can also recognize ethical issues that may arise and can suggest public and private non-legal resources in the community to help meet your needs.

Elder Law

As one ages, they may find themselves facing new issues. Estate planning, disability, health care, retirement, taxes, financial planning, abuse and discrimination issues may arise in the elder years. It is important to know your rights and seek counseling and advice when needed. When dealing with legal issues that pertain to the elderly, it is wise to seek counseling from a lawyer who is certified in ‘Elder Law’.  Elder law is a field of law in the United States that covers all aspects of issues facing the elderly. It is a moderately new form of law practice that focuses solely on the needs and laws governing the elderly.  Many laws and community-based programs exist for the elderly. Unless you are educated in this area, you may need help deciphering what is available to you and what rights you may have inherited as you have aged. Today, lawyers can specialize in this field of law by getting certified by the Board of Certification of the National Elder Law Foundation (NELF, www.nelf.org ) a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and proficiency of lawyers practicing this form of law.

Funeral Services & Planning need arrangements so that your wishes will be honored.

Deciding how you would like to remember and honor your loved one—or how you would like to be remembered—is a personal choice. With so many options available, you can customize a fitting tribute that reflects a unique life and individual passions. Today, funeral and memorial services can be as varied as the individual they represent.

A funeral service followed by cremation need not be different than a funeral service followed by ground burial. The funeral service can be elaborate or simple; it can be traditional or nontraditional. Today, arrangements are as individual as the persons for whom and by whom they are made. A ceremony may be personalized to reflect the life of the deceased and, thus, have special meaning for those present.

No matter how you choose to remember, you have many options when planning a service, including: Time and Place A funeral or memorial service can take place at any time and can usually be held in the location of your choosing. A service can be held, not only immediately following a death, but also at a later designated date or as an annual event of remembrance. Choosing Cremation The number of people choosing cremation increased significantly during the past few years, but cremation itself remains unchanged. What is done before or after the cremation process is up to the family or to you. You can even make pre-

Contrary to what some people believe, cremation does not limit one’s choices, but, in fact, increases one’s options. It need not be looked upon as being a break in family or religious traditions. Cremation, in fact, is only one part in a series of events that leads to memorialization.

Personalization Services A funeral can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. The things that had meaning to your loved one will also give meaning to the people who attend the service. Choosing a funeral provider is an important decision. Whether you need immediate assistance because a death has occurred, want to plan for a death that may be close-at-hand or are interested in learning more about the many advance-planning options available, it’s important to choose a funeral home that offers support, guidance and the ability to meet your needs.

Funeral Services & Planning

From the beginning of civilization, the custom of caring for the deceased, honoring a life passed, and supporting those who mourn has been at the core of our humanity. Funeral service rituals have always been truly for the living, giving those left behind an opportunity to grieve, accept the loss and find closure. It remains an important part of the healing process.

PACE – Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly PACE of the Southern Piedmont

What is a Geriatric Care Manager? Think of a Geriatric Care Manager (GCM) as being like a general contractor. If you were, say, building a new house, your general contractor would be responsible for the day-to-day oversight of the construction site, management of vendors, and communication of information to involved parties. There are a lot of moving parts to such an endeavor, and so designating one person as the responsible coordinator and point-of-contact can make the difference between a smooth and easy experience...or disaster. Similarly, coordinating the many needs of an aging family member is a huge job – one that can quickly spiral out of control if it’s not in the right hands. A GCM is a professional who specializes in assisting older adults, disabled individuals, and their families with all of their care needs, as well as connecting them with a vast network of services, benefits, programs and facilities in the community. The best care managers have certain hallmarks: they will listen to you, advise you, and act on your behalf. They will be an unwavering advocate for your loved one’s health, safety and quality of life. They will have a passion for helping seniors and their families with the greatest level of respect and discretion, and they will work hard to provide you with priceless peace of mind. When should I contact a GCM? Ask yourself a few questions: Do you often miss work, or arrive late because you are involved with rendering care to an elderly spouse, parent, or loved one? Stay up nights worrying about how your parent’s ailments continue to progress, and that you will soon be unable to manage? Unable to go on vacations, or even fear leaving your home for extended periods of time, because there is no one available to care for your loved one? Concerned about depleting the life savings of a parent for a nursing home or other institutional care? Are you physically or emotionally drained due to ongoing demands of caring for a family member – including perhaps frequent hospital visits? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you could benefit from the services of a certified Geriatric Care Manager. Visit the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers website at www.caremanager.org and use their “Find A Care Manager” search feature to locate a professional care manager near you. Sally Olin, RN, CMC, CSA, is a certified Geriatric Care Manager. She is the recipient of numerous honors, including Wake Forest University’s “North Carolina Family Business of the Year.” You can contact Sally at [email protected].

VETERANS AFFAIRS Of the 25 million veterans currently alive, nearly three of every four served during a war or an official period of hostility. About a quarter of the nation’s population -approximately 70 million people -- are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members or survivors of veterans. VA operates the nation’s largest integrated health care system with more than 1,400 sites of care, including hospitals, community clinics, nursing homes, domiciliaries, readjustment counseling centers, and various other facilities.

To apply, please call the Social Security Administration at 1-800 772-1213 or visit or call your local Social Security office. Medicare has two parts: Part A and Part B. Medicare Part A, also known as hospital insurance, helps cover your inpatient care in hospitals, critical access hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. It also covers hospice care and some home health care. Medicare Part B, also known as medical insurance, helps cover your doctors’ services, outpatient hospital care, and some other medical services that Medicare Part A doesn’t cover, such as some of the services of physical and occupational therapists, and some home health care. Medicare Part B helps pay for these covered services and supplies when they are medically necessary. To find out how/whether to purchase additional health insurance (Medigap policy, long-term care insurance, etc) call the NC Senior Health Insurance Information Program at 855 408 1212.

General Eligibility Eligibility for most VA benefits is based upon discharge from active military service under other than dishonorable conditions. Active service means full-time service, other than active duty for training, as a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or as a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service, Environmental Science Administration or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or its predecessor, the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Generally, men and women veterans with similar service may be entitled to the same VA benefits.

Important Documents Needed for Verifying and Processing VA Claims Veterans seeking a VA benefit for the first time must submit SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION a copy of their service discharge form (DD-214, DD-215, 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235-0001 or for World War II veterans, a WD form), which documents 1-800-772-1213 www.ssa.gov service dates and type of discharge, or give their full name, Social Security has a toll-free number that operates from military service number, and branch and dates of service. 7AM to 7PM, Monday to Friday: 1-800-772-1213.

The AAA provides planning, monitoring and technical assistance to local government aging service programs for the following programs as directed under the Older American’s Act of 1964.

Care Option Choices When considering a care community, older and disabled adults are the primary consumers of both assisted living and nursing facility care. They should be the primary decision makers, when possible, about the move from independence to an environment where they receive help in one or more areas of their daily life. The “resident” is involved in all aspects of the decision making process, health and financial assessment, identifying and touring potential facilities, and considering charges in the contract/resident agreement. Surrogate decision makers can participate, but nothing is more important than involving the older adult in this process! There are two basic questions consumers should ask themselves when considering a change: 1. What are your needs, both current and to the extent possible those needs in the next few years. 2. How will you pay to have those needs met?

Housing & Care

Through the combined efforts of Centralina Area Agency on Aging, Catawba Area Agency on Aging and All About Seniors, we have produced this comprehensive list of Housing & Care Community Choices to provide our readers with the most accurate and valuable information possible.

Consider These Things When Answering Your Basic Questions: • What type of care (if any) is covered by your insurance? • How will the monthly fees and any deposits be covered? Investigate the options you choose. • Use on-line resources such as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services to see up to date information about home care, home health and nursing homes. www.cms.gov. • As the assisted living for their most current corrective action reports, or their deficiency statements. • Visit the facilities you are interested in as often as needed to get a clear picture of what care, treatment and services are being offered. • Talk with present residents and their families about what life is like within the community or facility. Read the contract carefully. Ask a trusted friend to review it with you. You may also want to discuss the contract with an attorney. • Request a copy of the contract prior to admission to review the language and prepare questions. • Keep a copy of the signed contract on hand. • Regulated facilities are obligated to make sure that residents and their representatives understand the contract, the programs available to cover the services, and the limits of these programs.

These advocates work together with groups of volunteers called the COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE to accomplish this goal. Together, these volunteers make regular unannounced visits to extended care facilities and work collaboratively with residents, staff, community and families to improve the quality of life before, during and after older adults find it necessary to have additional care.

Housing & Care Community Choices Alzheimer’s Care secured environment. Beds within a secured environment are not covered by the Special Care Unit Disclosure Act described above and are not subject to the same staffing ratios as described above for facilities that indicate they provide specialized dementia care. If a locked unit is being considered as an option, consider asking questions about resident care and assessment, staff to resident ratios, staff training, etc. before making a decision. SPECIAL CARE UNITS Both Assisted Living (AL) and Nursing Homes (NH) have special care units for people with dementia. Adult Care Homes are required to provide consumers a “disclosure statement” that describes a wide variety of specifics about the unit. There is more information on disclosure statements later in this section. The following chart might help in comparing services among units.

Third shift (11 PM to 7 am) should have 1 staff person for every 10 residents. The Special Care Unit Disclosure Act allows consumers to make informed decisions when choosing a Special Care Unit. The Bill requires that any Adult Care Home or Adult Day Care which advertises itself as providing Specialized Dementia Care must disclose the following information to consumers: philosophy and mission statement, criteria for admission, transfer and discharge, assessment and care planning, activity programming, family involvement in care, cost of care and additional fees.

Assisted Living

Definition: Assisted Living Residence means “Any group housing and services program for two or more unrelated adults, by whatever name it is called.” The State Division of Health Services Regulation

The assisted living program makes available at a minimum one meal a day, housekeeping services and provides personal care services directly or through a formal written agreement with one or more licensed home health agencies. Nursing services provided to an individual in an assisted living residence may not exceed those allowed under Medicare home health regulations. 1. Adult Care Home is an assisted living residence in which the housing management provides 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled personal care services to two or more residents, either directly or for scheduled needs, through formal written agreements with licensed home care or hospice agencies. Formerly called Domiciliary Homes, adult care homes are commonly called “Rest Homes” and are licensed by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to provide assistance with daily activities of living and are monitored by the County Department of Social Services for compliance with minimum regulatory standards. 2. Multiunit Assisted Housing with Services provides handson personal care services and nursing services, which are arranged by housing management and are provided by a licensed home care or hospice agency through an individualized written care plan. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services maintains a registry of these facilities. The State Division of Health Services Regulation DOES NOT LICENSE THEM.

w w w. al l a b ou t s e n i o r s . o r g

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE For those on limited incomes, there is a part of the Medicaid program called State/County Special Assistance (SA) that provides financial assistance for eligible residents in an adult care home. This program is administered by the local Department of Social Services and may help cover an adult care home stay. Residents receiving Special Assistance receive a small Personal Needs Allowance ($66) to cover the cost of personal items. HOW TO APPLY • All people, regardless of payment source, applying for placement in an Adult Care Home are required to have an FL-2 form (medical summary) completed by a physician to indicate that this type of care is appropriate. This form may be obtained from the facility or the County Department of Social Services and most Doctors’ offices.

50

• If you are entering a special care unit for persons with dementia, there is a PRIOR approval process that includes the FL-2, the facility disclosure statement, and an assessment to determine if the resident needs primary mental health services.

Financial Considerations COST All N.C. Residents entering an adult care home must have a basic health assessment within the first few days of admission. This N.C. regulatory assessment form is not used to set rates for reimbursement. However, some facilities set their “rate” of reimbursement on their own company assessment. There is NO STANDARDIZED formula for rate setting in North Carolina or for the forms used by facilities to determine private pay rates. Before signing a contract, consumers should clearly understand: •

What aspects of resident care are being assessed and who is doing the assessment? What are their credentials? Does the consumer have an opportunity to participate or challenge the results?

• Will the assessment create a change in how service is delivered? Since there is no rate setting standard in North Carolina, the costs of adult care homes can vary from $1,800 – $5,500 a month. Many facilities charge a basic fee for a complete package of room, board, and services. Others have a base fee and then charge from a “menu” of cost associated with each specific service. There may be other fees associated with a stay at the assisted living. Remember, that ALL charges for services should be specifically outlined in the contract/resident agreement and agreed to by both the resident and the facility. These are not regulated or standardized either. Consumers should: • Request a copy of the contract prior to admission to review the language and prepare questions. • Keep a copy of the signed contract on hand.

Housing & Care Community Choices Family Care Homes

What is a Family Care Home? Family care homes offer highly personalized care for up to six residents who require assistance with activities of daily living. Services include lodging, 24/7 care, housekeeping, laundry service, three daily meals, snacks, social programs, activities, transportation to doctor’s appointments, and medication management. Higher end residences even offer amenities such as hair salons, nurse and physician services, personalized activity plans, and meals. Family care homes are a growing trend offering boutique assisted living where residents get the best of both worlds — an intimate, home-like environment seniors are accustomed to combined with highly personalized care — and should be strongly considered when researching assisted living options. In fact, residents who remain in home-like setting experience greater levels of personal dignity and less depression

and anxiety. A family care home offers an easier transition to assisted living. What truly sets family cares home apart is the high level of individual attention that residents receive. Because family cares homes can only have up to 6 residents, the community provides maximum ratio of 1:6 caregivers to residents and awake-atnight staff. Higher end homes even offer ratios of 2:6 caregivers to residents, which makes them ideal solutions for seniors with greater care needs such as those with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and diabetes. Like any large facility, family care homes are strictly monitored by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) and staff are often comprised of highly trained and experienced CNAs, medication aids, and, in some cases, registered nurses.

Housing & Care Community Choices Skilled Nursing Facilities

Nursing Homes

Financial Considerations:

DEFINITION Nursing Facilities (NF), often called Nursing Homes, provide extensive and professional medical care to people of all ages. Admissions to Nursing Homes begin with those who need assistance with activities of daily living. A person who has at least a threenight hospital stay prior to entering the NF may qualify for Medicare coverage. It is important to communicate your wishes about short term/long term stays when you are working with the Admissions staff. However, there are certain rights that protect consumers from being discharged from NF beds that may apply, be sure to contact the Regional Ombudsman Program if you have questions or concerns. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has a free Guide to Choosing a NF. Contact them at www.medicare.gov or 1-800- 6334227 (1-800 MEDICARE). CMS also maintains the NURSING HOME COMPARE information on all certified nursing facilities in the United States. This website has a comprehensive review of the home’s complaint reviews and performance.

Consumers can notify the Division of Health Services Regulation of their concerns in a Family Care Home, Adult Care Home or Skilled Nursing Home. Many NFs have special units to care for Residents who are acutely ill, who can benefit from rehabilitation, who are younger than the average resident (under 50), or have Alzheimer’s Disease or another dementing illness.

Veterans may also be eligible for assistance from the Veteran’s Administration.

COST The cost of nursing home care varies; averaging from $7,000 to $10,000 a month. This cost covers 24/7 care by professionally licensed and trained staff, room and board. Some therapies require additional charges. Depending on your pay source, there may be fees for laundry, haircuts, personal items and supplies. Prescriptions are not covered in the monthly charges but may be covered by Medicare D prescription drug program. The Medicare nursing home benefit is limited to residents admitted to skilled beds in a certified nursing facility - and then only following a three-night stay in a hospital and ONLY if Medicare requirements are met. • The physician must determine that skilled nursing care is needed. • If eligible, Medicare pays 100% of the cost the first twenty days. The resident pays a co-payment, which could be covered by supplemental insurance or Medicaid, beginning on day twenty-one up to day one hundred, and Medicare pays the remaining approved daily medical expenses. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT MEDICARE WILL PAY AT ALL! You have a right to appeal the Medicare denial. Contact Medicare directly to learn more about these rights. Medicaid is a State and Federal program that will pay most nursing home costs for people with limited income and assets. If you have questions about Medicaid eligibility, the CARE-LINE (1-800-662-7030) operator can connect you with the Medicaid Eligibility Unit in the North Carolina Division of Medical Assistance. http://www.dhhs.state.nc.us/dma • The resident pays the facility a “patient liability” payment based on their income. The amount is set by the County Department of Social Services.

Independent Adult Living

If you are looking for a life with fewer worries about caring for a home and you are still capable of maintaining your full independence, then you should consider Independent and Active Adult Living communities. Several different types of housing/living choices ranging from Single-Family and Patio Homes to Condominiums and Senior Apartments can be either purchased or paid for by a monthly fee. Often, these types of residences offer housekeeping, laundry, indoor or outdoor maintenance, transportation, meals or full dining services as well as daily activities. Your monthly fees can be allinclusive for these services or you can choose only those you desire, and pay accordingly. The more luxurious Active Adult communities can have amenities such as swimming pools, golf courses, health clubs and other recreation facilities. Although these type communities are designed for the active adult, the homes are specifically designed to be very accessible and more senior living friendly than general communities developed for all ages. DEFINITIONS 1. Apartments: Some apartment complexes are designated specifically for older adults; others have sections reserved for those over a certain age. Security systems are often provided and residents may have access to common areas for recreation. The apartment complex itself does not provide other services, although community agencies may offer meals or transportation. Often there are long waiting lists. 2. Retirement Communities: Retirement communities offer housing and other services specifically for older adults. The housing community may be a freestanding facility with private rooms or may have several acres of land with cottages and/ or condominiums. Typical services may include meals, linen services, planned activities and security. Retirement communities with rental units include some services in the monthly rent. Communities where residents buy their own units charge a monthly service fee. If a deposit is required, find out under what circumstances the deposit is refundable. Nursing services may be available in the retirement community. Some may have a nurse on duty, whereas others may have an infirmary. A few have licensed nursing home beds and residents are given priority access to them. Other communities include licensed Adult Care Home beds for those who cannot live independently, but who do not need continuous (24 hour medical/nursing) care.

Subsidized and Affordable Senior Housing Usually managed by a city or county housing authority, these subsidized complexes can be found in many urban areas. They may also be privately-owned, and exchange housing to lowincome adults for government credits or subsidies. Some complexes are open to people of all ages, but specifically reserve spaces for senior adults. Eligibility for this kind of public housing is based on income. The senior must earn below a set income and these income levels often change based on the median income in the given area. Subsidized housing rent is based on a percentage of the senior’s income, so rates vary for each individual. Affordable housing is often the same rate for all residents if the living unit is the same size (regardless of income).

“subsidies,” to private housing developers. In return, the housing developers charge low rents to eligible households. Am I eligible? To be eligible for private subsidized housing, you must meet income guidelines. Your past history as a tenant and your criminal record must show that you will be a good tenant. Public Housing - affordable apartments for low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. If you need public housing assistance or would like specific information about public housing programs such as housing choice vouchers, please contact your local Public Housing Agency.

Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) – this program allows you to find your own place and use the voucher to pay for all or part of the rent. The Housing Choice Voucher Program is the federal government’s major program for assisting very lowincome families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including singlefamily homes, townhouses and apartments. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects. Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies (PHAs). The PHAs receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer the voucher program. A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family’s choice where the owner agrees to rent under the program. This unit may include the family’s present residence. Rental units must meet minimum standards of health and safety, as determined by the PHA. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and Privately owned subsidized housing - HUD helps apartment the amount subsidized by the program. Under certain owners offer reduced rents to low-income tenants. Private circumstances, if authorized by the PHA, a family may use its subsidized housing is affordable rental housing for low and voucher to purchase a modest home. moderate-income families, elders, and the disabled. It is owned and managed privately. The government gives funds, called http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/hcv/about/fact_sheet.cfm The Fair Housing Act (FHAct) protects all citizens from discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap or familial status (families with children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians; pregnant women and people securing custody of children under 18). Although the FHAct was amended in 1988 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability and familial status, Congress intended to preserve housing specifically designed to meet the needs of older persons. Such housing that meets the FHAct definition of “housing for older persons” is exempt from the law’s familial status requirements, provided that: HUD has determined that the dwelling is specifically designed for and occupied by elderly persons under a Federal, State or local government program or it is occupied solely by persons who are 62 or older or it houses at least one person who is 55 or older in at least 80 percent of the occupied units, and adheres to a policy that demonstrates intent to house persons who are 55 or older. Therefore, housing that satisfies the legal definition of senior housing or housing for older persons described above, can legally exclude families with children. If you have been trying to buy or rent a home or apartment and you believe your rights have been violated, you can contact the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Home Care evokes thoughts of seniors who wish to maintain their independence and quality of life as long as possible while remaining safe in their homes. Many seniors do not require a nurse, but simply need assistance with the tasks of daily living; meal preparation, basic household chores, dressing, personal hygiene, shopping, companionship and, in some cases simply providing respite for family caregivers. Adult children are often sandwiched between taking care of their own children and helping their elderly parents. Home care also relieves family caregivers of the stress of doing daily tasks for two households and allows them to have quality time with their loved ones. Home care is also a service utilized by many Veterans and adults whose lives have been altered by injury or chronic health conditions. Choosing an agency and caregiver is a very personal decision. For your peace of mind and loved one’s protection there are certain facts you should obtain from agencies: (Answers should be YES.) • Are caregivers employees of the agency? • Are well experienced caregivers hired? • Are caregivers bonded and insured by workers compensation? • Are employment, criminal background and DMV checks performed? • Does the agency allow you to set the schedule? • Can you meet and interview the caregiver before service starts? • Are services and caregivers supervised by a Registered Nurse? • Is the agency licensed as either Home Care or Companion Sitter services, if required by your state? • Does the agency have a quality assurance program? • Are caregiver healthcare credentials verified? This is only a sample of questions that you may want to ask. The goal is to assure you are working with a respected and trustworthy agency that will allow you or your loved one to safely stay at home and maintain their independence while providing you and your family peace at mind.

Home Health Care

How can home “healthcare” help you and your family and how is it different from “home care”? Imagine if a company that could bring your loved one professional, skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy at home, while teaching them how to live more independently. That’s what home healthcare is all about. Often confused with “Home Care”, our services are more technical and can help patients rehabilitate from medical events like stroke or surgery. We can also help patients manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease or arthritis. It’s like having the hospital or rehab center visiting your home instead of you going to them. A bridge between your loved one’s doctor and home. Certified medical clinicians bring state-of-the-art medical care to your loved one’s home. Typically the first visit is from a nurse who assesses their environment, their needs and their goals, and work with them to achieve results. The nurses and therapists will also coordinate with their doctor to deliver a clearer picture of your loved one’s progress and respond to any sudden health changes. Home healthcare may be available at no cost to you. If your loved one is covered under Medicare A benefits, these home healthcare services may be available at no cost to you. Many Home Healthcare companies also accept commercial insurance and private pay patients. Get more information. At the end of the day, Home Healthcare is about compassion, caring and helping seniors live more independently with a higher quality of life. To find out more, talk to your healthcare provider or just call one of the companies listed below. They will be glad to discuss your situation with you.

What you should know about Hospice? • Focus is on controlling pain, managing symptoms and providing comfort, dignity and quality of life. • Hospice care is for patients whose illness is no longer responding to aggressive, curative therapy. • The patient and family make up the core of the Hospice team and are the center of all decision-making. • Hospice care eases the daily responsibilities of caregivers and families with guidance and support in the home. • Hospice guides families through the overwhelming experiences faced everyday. • Hospice treats the person, not the disease. • Hospice Care is available to meet your needs 24 hours a day. What does your Hospice Benefit Include? • On Call nurses that are available day and night • Rapid Response time • Aide services for assistance with personal care & homemaking • Volunteers – a new friend, errands, transportation, meals, etc • Counseling services for patient and/or caregivers/children grandchildren • Pharmacy and medical consultation • Respite care in a contracted facility • Social workers / family support specialists • Medications related to diagnoses paid for by hospice • Medical equipment • Spiritual care, prayer, guidance, loving support • Symptom and pain management • Physician home visits, if needed Who pays for Hospice… Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid & most Insurance providers. When is Hospice right for me and my loved one? • When you have decided to change from an aggressive treatment approach to comfort and symptom management approach • Many families tell us they have to ask for Hospice services... you have the right to ask for a hospice presentation or evaluation and the right to choose who provides your hospice care. • When frequent hospital and ER admissions are not resulting in improved condition but are becoming more of a burden than a help. • When the patient is experiencing a significant increased dependence and decline in ability to participate in activities of daily living. • When your physician has spoken with you about “Comfort Care” or a more palliative approach to care. • Most people tell us, “I wish I would have started this service sooner… but nobody told us about Hospice” • People want to feel they have helped a loved one deal with physical and emotional pain. They want to be involved but they don’t want to be overwhelmed or alone. Hospice can be there with you. You don’t have to be alone. A Hospice Team member is available anytime to discuss options & provide information so you can decide when it is right for you.

Insurance Long Term Care Insurance

Insurance

Facts About Long-Term Care Insurance In North Carolina Long-term care insurance is designed to pay some or all the costs of nursing home, community, or home health care when you cannot meet the needs of everyday living on your own. While such insurance is costly and might not cover all your expenses it can help to safeguard your assets and protect your financial stability. It is not for everyone. If your only income is Social Security, it is unwise to buy a long-term care policy. Long term care insurance has two purposes: − To protect the lifestyle of your spouse and/or family from the high cost of long-term care − To protect your assets for your heirs NC Requirements for LTC Policies: • There can be no requirement for a prior hospital or skilled nursing home stay as a trigger for benefits. • All pre-existing conditions must be covered after six months. • Policies must be issued in a guaranteed renewable basis. • Portability is required for all group contracts. • A meaningful inflation protection must be offered. • Whether expressed or implied, no high pressure sales tactics are allowed. • After age 65, no attained age rating is allowed. • Policies must provide at least three levels of care for at least 12 months. • Policies must be issues free of exclusionary riders. • Policies cannot require that home health care be provided by an RN or LPN. • All policies must have a 30-day “free-look” provision. • Clinical diagnosis must be accepted on all organic brain disorders. • Annual lapse and financial reports must be filed with the Insurance Commissioner. • Third-party notification is required to prevent loss of coverage. • Rate revisions must be approved prior to implementation. • Insurance agents selling long term care insurance must pass a supplemental exam. • No new waiting period for preexisting conditions is required when replacing policies. • Advertising policies must be accepted by the Insurance Commissioner prior to use. Important Terms: INFLATION PROTECTION – The NC Department of Insurance requires companies to offer you at least one of three methods of increasing the daily benefit amount to offset the effect of inflation. You may reject or accept the offer. The three methods available are a) benefit levels increase annually at a minimum of five percent annually (simple or compounded), b) insurer guarantees periodic opportunities to increase benefit level, or c) benefit covers a specific percentage of actual reasonable charges. If you reject the inflation protection, it MUST be in writing. FREE LOOK – All long-term care policies must provide a “free look” period of at least 30 days that will allow you to review your purchase. For a full refund, return the policy before the end of the 30 day period. DUPLICATE COVERAGE – Do not buy duplicate coverage. Consider increasing current coverage instead. If you replace a policy with another new policy, North Carolina Department of Insurance regulations require agents or insurance companies to a) offer to check on all your other policies for possible duplicate coverage, b) warn you in writing not to cancel any policy until the “free look” period is over and you are satisfied with the new one and c) give credit for time spent under your previous policy toward satisfying pre-existing condition waiting periods. ELIMINATION PERIODS – An elimination period is the time you must be confined to an eligible facility and must pay for the care you receive before a policy begins to pay benefits. Select the longest elimination period you can afford in order to keep costs down. HOME HEALTH BENEFITS – Do not confuse at home recovery benefits with more extensive home health care benefits. Recovery benefits often are limited to short periods, usually no longer than your hospital or nursing home stay.

Insurance

GUARANTEED RENEWABLE – Long-term care insurance policies sold in North Carolina must be guaranteed renewable. This means you must be allowed to continue in force as long as the premiums are paid. The company may not change policy provisions or refuse to continue your coverage. Premiums, however, may be raised for an entire class of policyholders. Policies issued on or after December 1, 1994 may not increase rates based on attained age after your 65th birthday. PREMIUM PRICING – Policies with attained age pricing have premiums that start low but increase with the policyholder’s age Policies with issue-age pricing have premiums that do not increase solely due to increasing age.

NONFORFEITURE BENEFITS – A nonforfeiture benefit provides that after a policyholder has paid into a policy for a specified period of time, the policyholder continues to have some benefits even if he/she is unable to continue paying premiums. Those benefits take different forms and affect the policy price. Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) 11 South Boylan Avenue Raleigh, NC 27603 www.ncshiip.com 1-800-443-9354

MENTAL AND NERVOUS DISORDERS – Long- term care policies may limit or exclude coverage of some mental or nervous disorders. However, they must provide coverage of Alzheimer’s’ disease and related disorders of biologically caused brain diseases and serious mental illness, including progressive dementing illness, organic brain disorders and degenerative brain disorders.

The Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is an innovative model that provides a range of integrated preventative, acute, and long-term care services to manage the complex medical, functional, and social needs of the frail elderly. PACE was created as a way to provide flexibility in meeting a person’s health care needs while they continue to live safely in the community. The purpose of a PACE program is to provide comprehensive health care services that are designed to enhance the quality of life and autonomy for older adults. Through PACE the dignity and respect of older adults is maximized; older adults are able live in their homes and in the community as long as medically and socially feasible; and the support of the older adult’s family unit is preserved. Eligibility criteria for PACE is as follows… • Participants must be age 55 or older. • Reside in the PACE organization’s service area. • BE certified as eligible for nursing home care by their state. • Be able to live safely in a community setting at the time of enrollment. Eligible beneficiaries who choose to enroll in PACE agree to forgo their usual sources of care and receive all of their services through the PACE organization. FEATURED SERVICE

Insurance

PRE-EXISTING CONDITION – A pre-existing condition is an illness or disability for which you received medical advice or treatment during a period of time before you apply for insurance. Most policies do not pay for these conditions during the waiting period after you become insured. State law limits the long-term care preexisting policy waiting period to six months.

Older adults may have difficulty shopping or preparing meals. Caregivers also are often at risk, neglecting themselves while they tend an ailing loved one. Most counties offer a variety of resources for meals and nutrition services. Seniors may qualify to receive home-delivered meals. You may also call your Department of Social Services or Senior Center for more information. In addition to home-delivered meals, there are numerous sites where seniors gather for a meal. Operating hours and days may vary by site. Other organizations offer grocery relief by providing and delivering both fresh and frozen items at a cost savings. Volunteers are the lifeline of these organizations. Each day hundreds of volunteers help cook, package and deliver meals to the homebound elderly and disabled. For more information, contact the sites or agencies listed.

Medical Equipment

Medical Equipment & Supplies The aging population is already influencing the future direction of the medical device industry due to their changing health needs and an accompanying shift in thinking on how and where seniors will be treated. Baby boomers are living longer lives than previous generations, requiring more sophisticated and longerterm healthcare. This has driven the need for advanced medical electronic devices and raised expectations that new technologies will enhance the quality and length of patients’ lives as they get older. As the US population increases and pressure to contain costs increase, expensive hospital stays will be discouraged and health care will be increasingly delivered in alternative settings, such as nursing homes, hospices and patients’ homes. As a result, home health care products are expected to become one of the fastest growing segments of the $6 billion medical device industry. In recent years these products have become more sophisticated and are now used in a wider variety of situations.

Rehab Products Power wheelchairs, custom manual wheelchairs, high-performance sports and recreation wheelchairs, scooters, seating and positioning products, motor controllers. Respiratory Products Oxygen concentrators, nebulizer compressors and respiratory disposables, sleep therapy products, portable oxygen systems. Medical Supplies Distributor of ostomy, incontinence, diabetic, skin and wound care products Many community resources and agencies (i.e. Red Cross) loan medical supplies such as crutches, canes, walkers, wheelchairs, hospital beds and T.E.N.S. machines, for short-term medical needs.

Medical Healthcare Facilities & Rehabilitation REHABILITATION - HOSPITALS

Rehabilitation

A rehabilitation hospital provides care for stabilized patients who still need inpatient hospital care. Unlike the patient in the standard hospital, the patient sent to a rehab hospital needs additional help to recover from an injury or surgical procedure. They might require physical, occupational or speech therapy as their condition improves, and they might need social work assistance to determine how to live life once they are released. Like a regular medical hospital, a rehabilitation hospital has 24 hour nursing care, 7 days per week. Many nurses are RNs and rehab nurses. Rehab hospitals are required to use a coordinated interdisciplinary team approach led by a rehab physician, and includes a rehab nurse, a case manager, and a licensed therapist from each therapy discipline who must meet weekly to evaluate/discuss each patient’s case. All patients, regardless of diagnoses/condition, must demonstrate need and receive at least 3 hours of daily therapy or 15 hours over a 7 day period. Patient must need 2 different therapies minimally (Occupational, Physical and/or speech therapy) and need medical supervision by a doctor. For the family of the patient, a rehabilitation hospital can be a positive intermediary step before a family member returns home. The rehab hospital not only instructs the patients and helps them regain function but also works with the family to determine what will be needed when the patient is released.

S um m e r 2 0 2 3

Most rehabilitation hospitals offer comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. For individuals recovering from a brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke or other neurological impairment, the outpatient treatment program can be a very important step on the pathway to recovery. Patients receive intensive rehabilitation and are able to return home at night to practice newly learned skills in a familiar environment. The outpatient program helps prepare patients for living independently and returning to work.

Multi Cultural Diversity

Cultural Diversity Many things play a role in who we are and how we view the world around us. In many ways our cultures separate us, but yet they also unite us by the fact that each unique individual still has the same needs, wants and desires. Cultural awareness is the process in which one becomes aware of, appreciate of and sensitive to the values, beliefs, practices and problem solving strategies used by people of different cultures. By demographic standards, the racial and ethnic mix in our area is changing very rapidly, with ethnic and racial minorities now accounting for one-third of our population. By Myra S.

Senior Centers

Senior Centers – Your Place to Connect Senior centers are filled with a wide variety of opportunities to meet the needs of an ever increasing diversity among seniors. One day the center is bursting with young seniors (just turning 55) receiving counseling to navigate the Medicare maze, 55 to 80 year old seniors exercising in Jazzercise Lite classes, 60 to 85 year old seniors learning how to buy and sell items on Ebay or oil painting a piece to enter into the Senior Games competition. The next day classrooms are full of senior refugees from all over the world learning more about American government while improving their English skills in preparation for the US Citizenship test. Senior centers help senior gain skills and knowledge they need to remain healthy and independent as long as possible. This includes exercise opportunities that range from personal training and post rehab exercising to stay healthy, get stronger, improve balance AND improve memory function. A healthy body also means a healthy mind. Sometimes improving health means learning to cook for one, changing life-long eating habits, attending Living Healthy classes which address multiple factors that come with chronic illnesses and assuring that medications are taken optimally. No matter what age senior (55 to 95), there is something at a senior center to improve the quality and most probably, the quantity of their life. 98% of seniors attending Charlotte Mecklenburg Senior Centers report being more able to remain independent, 99% report having something to look forward to each day and 100% report feeling happier and more satisfied with life.

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is managed by the Public Transit Department. The Department maintains a dual focus, managing and continually improving day-to-day operations of the City’s transit services while moving swiftly ahead with planning for a regional transit system which will include bus rapid transit, light rail, commuter rail, and expanded bus service within a six-county area. An integral element of this effort is proactive participation in virtually every facet of land use and development planning in Mecklenburg County. It is CATS’ philosophy that the transit system should and can share the responsibility for improving the quality of life throughout the Charlotte region by helping to create a community in which public transportation, and its impact on social and economic development, benefits both riders and non-riders.
