WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BASIC ESTATE PLANNING

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

What You Need to Know If you think estate planning is just About Basic for the wealthy, think again. Estate Estate Planning Planning can be as simple as three basic documents, which establish the foundation you need to be confident that your wishes are followed.

Last Will and Testament –This is the document where you designate the future ownership of your possessions to your loved ones. Your assets may include your house, car and bank accounts. What most people do not know is that the Will does NOT designate the future ownership of assets that you own jointly with another person and assets that have a designated beneficiary. Jointly owned assets or assets that have a designated beneficiary (or TOD (“Transfer on Death”)) pass outside of your Will. This is why it is so important to review your estate plan with an attorney. An estate planning attorney will review all of your assets to ensure that they are all passing how you wish.

Power of Attorney - This document gives the person of your choice all the powers and rights that you have over your financial matters. Your POA can sign documents for you, pay bills and handle financial and business transactions. If you do not have a Power of Attorney and you lose capacity to handle your financial affairs, then

the Probate Court will get involved. The Court has the authority to name a Conservator for anyone who is incapable of handling their affairs.

Advance Healthcare Directive – The Advance Healthcare Directive, also referred to as a Health Care Proxy, is a document that includes a Living Will, designation of a representative to make medical decisions for you and organ donation preferences. Many people have a Living Will, which is the statement that you do not want life support if you are in a coma. It does not name a representative, which is important for all other medical decisions. Again, if you become incapacitated and have not named someone to make these decisions for you, the Probate Court will get involved and appoint a Conservator for you. Planning ahead ensures that all of your assets will pass to the right people and that your most trusted people will have the right to make decisions for you if you cannot.~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted Joan Reed Wilson, Esq.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Chefs For Seniors specializes in preparing flavorful, nutritious meals for Seniors. Proper nutrition is so important and can make a significant difference in seniors’ well-being. Cheryl Bieling started the first franchise in Connecticut in 2020 with the mission to “provide amazing food and proper nutrition. We offer a fresh alternative to senior meal delivery services throughout Connecticut”, Bieling said. Chefs for Seniors is a way to combine her love of cooking with helping people. Before starting CFS, Bieling spent more than 15 years in nonprofit with United Way of Coastal Fairfield County and Make-A-Wish Connecticut. “I always loved to bake but as a parent I realized that cooking is a way to nurture and show care and love.” In fact, love is the secret ingredient in all her recipes. The Chefs for Seniors service begins with a consultation to discuss meal planning, budget, and dietary needs such as low sodium or lactose intolerance. Bieling and her chefs (who are licensed, undergo background checks, and are fully insured), take notes on staples in seniors pantries. They supplement by grocery shopping, for which there is

no additional fee. Then they prepare meals to last through a week; ranging from scallops and shrimp risotto to comfort foods like meatloaf and mashed potatoes. “I really like the food, and I can’t tell you how it takes my stress level down. I can’t do much cooking for myself,” said Jeanne S. of Madison.

CHEFS FOR SENIORS

Chefs For Seniors

Bieling’s service is not just about providing healthy meals; It’s also about companionship. Many of her clients are part of the meal planning. Some watch the chefs prepare their meals in their own kitchens or even enjoy helping. “I encourage them to share their favorite food memories from their childhood, their parents, their spouses, from their cultural backgrounds.” One client asked Bieling to make him a traditional meal for Rosh Hashanah. “I had never cooked a Rosh Hashanah dinner, so I learn from them as well,” she said. There are no long-term contracts, and Chefs for Seniors takes every precaution, following all coronavirus protocols. Many adult children arrange the service for their parents.

SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT – FAIRFIELD, NEW HAVEN, AND MIDDLESEX COUNTIES – SPRING-SUMMER 2021

Welcome to the Spring–Summer 2021 edition of the Seniors Blue Book! As we publish this guide, we are finally feeling optimistic that we are emerging from the worst of the incredible distress our country has experienced with COVID-19; though our lives will surely be impacted for a very long time. We cannot adequately express the gratitude we feel for our healthcare workers and their commitment to seeing our nation through the pandemic. As we look forward to hope and healing, it is more important than ever for Seniors Blue Book to continue our effort to publish the most current and accurate information available and to enhance the lives of the aging population. Our goal is to help Connecticut seniors age well by providing an authoritative guide with color coded sections: Community Resources are in Blue, Home Health is in Purple, Seniors Housing is in Green. Additionally, you will find many timely articles listed in our Table of Contents on pages 4 -6.

The Lessons Learned In March 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I offered advice to help people navigate such unprecedented times. Looking back on those earlier days and the advice shared, I realize that pandemic or not, we have the power to choose how to live our best lives. Perhaps the pandemic has taught us how to navigate each day, seize the moment and live life to its fullest. The following is the advice shared in March of 2020 and I hope it remains relevant and helpful:

Even if you don’t have someplace to go, get up each day as if you do. Shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, read the newspaper, watch the news and give yourself a purpose. Don’t stay in your pajamas—it’s not healthy for you or your loved ones.

Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s important!!

Start your day with some light exercise. Stretch. Move from room to room. Play your favorite music and dance! Toss a ball back and forth. Blow up a balloon and play indoor volleyball. Regardless of what you do, get moving. Exercise lightly after every meal. Set a timer and stretch after every hour or so. MOVE AROUND!!! Get outside when the weather allows.

Breath in the fresh air. Open the windows!

Reminisce: It honestly doesn’t matter if you have heard the same story a zillion time. It’s time well-spent together. If you want to interact in a way that your family member feels most successful, ask them about the time when….

If you and your family member want to stay awake during daytime hours, limit your screen time! Perhaps you can plan for a special movie or tv show but try your hardest not to leave the tv on all day. It just becomes noise and a means for a good nap.

Draw, paint, do a puzzle, FOLD LAUNDRY!!!! Regardless of what you do, allow your family member to use his/her hands. This is busy work but keeps the mind and body occupied.

Cook or bake together. Recipes evoke memories.

Take advantage of the time you have together. This is a special opportunity to be with the people we love. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Donna Spellman, MS, Executive Director at River House Adult Day Center.

Strength is your ability to exert force against an external resistance. As we age, the importance of staying strong becomes paramount to effectively perform everyday tasks and remain independent. Bone density and muscle mass decrease progressively after midlife. In current research, strength training has been shown to slow down and potentially reverse these age-related physiological changes. In order to combat bone density and muscular loss, safely working against progressively heavier loading using movements that incorporate the most muscle mass, over the longest effective range of motion, is particularly helpful. Squatting, overhead pressing, deadlifting, and bench pressing are examples of movements that meet these criteria. They reflect ranges of motion people need to perform in everyday life if they are going to continue living full lives independently. Squatting mirrors sitting down and standing up out of a chair. Overhead pressing is like reaching overhead to put groceries in a cabinet. Deadlifting can be seen picking a box up off the floor. Bench pressing is similar to being able to push yourself up if you’ve fallen. The stronger you make these ranges of motion through progressive linear loading, the easier they are to perform in everyday life. This is because of a physiological process called the Stress Recovery Adapta-

tion Cycle that applies to everyone, no matter your age. If you impose a physical stress (like strength training) on yourself, your body will in response create a recovery effect that stimulates the increase of bone creation and muscle mass growth to be able to meet that demand in the future. This way when you encounter that stress again or complete that task again, it won’t be so hard to overcome. Just because we get older, doesn’t mean we can’t get stronger! You can improve your quality of life, your health, balance, mobility, reduce your risk of injury and so much more through strength training. Always consult with your doctor before beginning a strength training program. For more information on this topic check out The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 by Andy Baker (SSC) and Johnathan Sullivan (MD, PhD, FACEP, SSC) or contact a strength specialist like a Starting Strength Coach to begin your strength journey. ~

Relay Connecticut’s Captioned Relay Connecticut offers a capPhone Service tioned telephone service for people with hearing loss called CapTel.

This service allows individuals who aren’t able to follow conversations with traditional or amplified telephones to hear and read simultaneously what their callers are saying. The captions appear on the phone’s display screen allowing people who have difficulty hearing the freedom of telephone access regardless of their hearing ability. Through the Relay CT equipment distribution program, partnered with Converse Communication Corporation, CapTel phones are distributed at NO-COST to those who qualify! To qualify you must meet the following criteria: Be a full-time resident of Connecticut

Have a hearing loss

Be at least 8 years old (Parent consent is required for those under 18 years old.)

Relay Connecticut gives users the choice of which CapTel model best suits their needs. Whether it’s a model that only requires a traditional analog telephone line OR a model that uses high speed internet connection, there is a CapTel model that fits the bill. Because it doesn’t really matter which phone you use, what matters

is that you can understand every word of the conversation. Using Relay Connecticut give you the confidence to enjoy calls again, knowing that the captions will help you catch every word. ~ For more information, visit www.relayconnecicut.com/captel To apply for your own CapTel phone: E: Michelle.Vicino@Sprint.com or info@conversecommunications.com P: Call 1-800-743-1219 or 1-800-242-4974 FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. IP Captioned Telephone Service may use a live operator. The operator generates captions of what the other party to the call says. These captions are then sent to your phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund. No cost is passed on to the CapTel user for using the service. CapTel is a registered trademark of Ultratec, Inc.

The Ultimate In Disinfection If you were to ask patients or the Technology most impactful workers at a hospital or healthcare facility what may be the most crucial element of all for maintaining a safe and healthy environment, you will probably receive the same answer, infection control.

There is a great need for a technology which can prevent and control infections restricting the possibility of a disease outbreak such as Covid, which could jeopardize everyone’s health and safety. Of course it is essential to think about the routine procedures including proper hand washing, gloves, masks, eye protection and sterilization. There are many disinfection products on the market that help fight the battle of Covid and other viruses, bacteria, spores and pathogens. But ultimately none really come close to proper sterilization and disinfection without side effects. Many sprays are omitting harmful chemicals into the air and even technology like UVC light disinfection (non-far) can be very harmful to the skin and eyes. Executive Care is proud to announce the we are the very first home care agency in the entire country to invest in the technology of Far-UV light disinfection. This was confirmed by both CEO’s of the following products: We offer two units. One is the

Hepacart Germbuster, which is designed primarily for air disinfection. The second is the Sterilray Excimer Wand. This industrial type wand focuses on hard surfaces. When both technologies are used together, there is no better disinfection method on earth. These technologies are hospital grade and used in operating rooms. n n n

Destroys up to 80,000 viral particles per second

Five leading universities in the world have done extensive scientific studies on Far-UV light disinfection including Columbia University. They all confirmed that this patented wavelength destroys Covid 19. To be transparent, the FDA has yet to give its final approval. Executive Care believes that non-medical home care is a very

Depending on needs and abilities, a home health aide can help with personal care, preparing meals, and chores around the house. They can help keep loved ones safe and independent as possible. Although we often think of HHAs as the primary caregiver for in-home care, there are other professionals who should be working in tandem with them. A Registered Nurse can do care planning as well as supervision of the HHA. The RN can also provide medication administration, wound care, and other services that require a higher level of care than can be provided by an HHA. Having a home care professional can help families in so many ways. Safety is a big concern for adult children when their parent ages in place and the risk of falls increases. Home health staff can offer suggestions to help reduce tripping hazards and suggest other ways to keep older adults safe and avoid unnecessary visits to the hospital. Getting proper nutrition and managing medications can also be challenges to your loved one’s health as they get older. When there is someone helping at home, people are more likely to take medications

on schedule and eat healthy meals. Many of us will serve as a caregivers for a loved one at some point in our lives. When this happens, we often spend more of our time “doing” than simply visiting with them. Using home care services can reduce the burden of caring for a loved one and allow more quality time with them. There are many reasons to consider home care options for a family member. Having a professional home health aide is less expensive than the costs associated with assisted living. The best time to review these options is before there is major health issue. To arrange a complimentary assessment at home, please contact Osborn Home Care, (914-925-8221 in Westchester County, 203-6417683 in Fairfield County) or visit www.osbornhomecare.org. Please feel free to take our online Home Care Assessment. There is no cost or obligation to do so and it may help you determine if home care is the right choice. ~

pleases us aesthetically, is an important element in our efforts to increase our quality of life. Being surrounded by the beauty of a garden, the sounds of our favorite music, the exquisite movement of a body in motion, the freedom of exploring art and the joy of sharing a personal story is what makes each of us realize who we truly are. In a time of COVID, self-care has become a popular concept. Exploring the arts has become a means to self- care.

At The Greens at Greenwich, the creative arts therapies are at the core of our care. Creative arts therapists see those with whom they work as a symphony, a dance, a work of art and a piece of literature. When approaching a person in this way, you see them as rich and vibrant, their spirit as a wonderous and mysterious tale to be explored. Working with people with dementia, the journey is indeed challenging and yet, always heartwarming. Now scientists recognize that the arts benefit our health and well-being mentally and physically. Studies have found that singing can reduce pain, depression and confusion. Dance relieves stress and anxiety. Art soothes and storytelling connects us to ourselves and our community. Creative arts psychotherapists watch and listen carefully as language and nuance change in people diagnosed with

dementia. At The Greens, we know creative arts therapy to be the “new best medicine” for persons living with dementia. Our staff consists of licensed creative arts therapists in music, art, dance/movement and drama therapy. Residents enjoy one or more of these groups daily. In drama therapy we explored our hands and told stories of all our hands have held. Virginia gestured how she helped pull her baby out of her womb. Johnny reminisced how he asked his wife to marry him while holding her hand. In dance/ movement therapy Peter sat stiff and pouted. “I don’t dance. Never have. Never will.” The therapist played “I won’t dance, don’t ask me”. Suddenly Peter rose and playfully danced a solo that everyone soon joined. In art, Carol squiggled lines all over her page and carefully ran her finger along it speaking of her life’s journey. Their psyche is awakened. Personal rhythms are stricken, and we are summoned to dance. A familiar object brings forth a memory and becomes an open invitation to tell a story. The community is primed to listen. The teller gains an affirmation. “I am here and my story matters.” ~

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions HOSPICE (See definition in home health grid definitions) Services Provided: N-Nurse – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family teaching as needed. SSW-Social Worker – Assesses patient and family emotional and social needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, referrals and support to meet identified needs. Chaplain – Assesses patient and family spiritual needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, assists with memorial preparations. Home Health Aide – Provides direct personal care to patient, emotional support to patient and family, reports identified needs to RN. Volunteer – Provides respite and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement. Levels of Care: RO-Routine Care – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s residence, this can be their private home, a retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility. RE-Respite Care – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of

town for a short time. Ideally, this service is provided for five consecutive days. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility, at no cost to the patient or the family. GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period. CC-Continuous Care – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs. Continuous care also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically

24/7 ADMISSIONS – Can a patient be admitted to the particular hospice agency 24/7? If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice, 24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays. GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Each hospice agency will have a grief and bereavement support program. Many provide grief groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting. INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients. Many Hospice agencies utilize social workers to help find resources for indigent families. LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Massage has become one of the fastest growing trends in therapy for hospice patients. Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anx-

iety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients. MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. A music therapist is not just a music performer, but actually trained in counseling and music. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide to their patients.

PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency. Continued on page 104 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 101

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 101 PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care. Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria. PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional

care settings. For some patients, contact with these gentle animals evokes memories of pets in their lives, past or present. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare, it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients. VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

Senior Housing Definitions AGE RESTRICTIONS – Some communities have a restriction on the youngest age they are allowed to accept. These restrictions vary by community. ALZHEIMER’S / DEMENTIA ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Licensed assisted living facility or skilled nursing facility that specialize in delivering care to victims of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Communities are typically bedroom-style rental units with common areas for dining and activities. Many are locked for residents’ safety. Specifically trained staff usually serves the special needs of this population. Amenities vary for each community. ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Typically apartment-style with kitchenettes and private baths. Some offer companion accommodations. Personal assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating and ambulation. Rates vary from an all-inclusive to base rates with levels of care. Amenities vary for each community. DAY CARE – Any provider can elect to provide day/night services on a short or long term basis. Rates typically include a place to rest, one or two meals and snacks and activities for the day. Licensed communities are prohibited by law to promote

these services without a specific license. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING & URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) – helps apartment owners offer reduced rents to low-income tenants. HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM – (Sec 8) - find your own place and use the voucher to pay for all or part of the rent. Participating households are required to pay the greater of 10% of their gross annual income or 30% of their adjusted income towards rent. To qualify, a household’s annual income must not exceed the applicable income limit for the area as adjusted by family size. (Sec 236) Property owners in this program make mortgage payments that are based on a 1% mortgage interest rate. HUD then provides a subsidy to their lender to cover the difference between 1% and the market interest rate on the property’s loan. Participating households are required to pay rent equal to the greater of 30% of their adjusted income (not to exceed the market rent) or the basic rent amount set by HUD for that particular property. Any amount paid by the household that is more than basic rent is considered excess rent, which the owner pays back to HUD in repayment of the subsidy.

What to Look for When Selecting a Here are some questions to ask Rehabilitative yourself as you consider the next Community step in your recovery journey following illness, injury or surgery.

If you or a loved one have recently suffered an injury or had a hospital stay, you may benefit from the services provided in a sub-acute rehabilitation community. What factors should you consider in choosing a community that will fit your needs? Overall Environment The location of the community you choose is important, since friends and family likely will want to visit. In addition, consider the appearance and overall feel of communities you review. Is the community clean and orderly? Does the environment feel welcoming? Although sub-acute rehabilitative stays are temporary, you or your family member may spend significant time in the community before regaining health. Quality of Care The primary reason for a rehabilitative stay is recovery following an illness, accident or surgery. Before choosing a community, consider the many factors that go into evaluating the quality of care provided. Along with visiting in person, you will want to ask questions, including: n

hat are staffing levels, and how W do they compare to state requirements?

n n

hat is the level of staff turnover? W What measures are in place to provide for the safety and comfort of residents, particularly during COVID-19? Does the medical team work with you to create a personalized care plan? What types of supplemental therapies—such as physical, occupational and speech—are available? What is the current Medicare rating?

Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 109

TRACH CARE - Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions. VENTILATOR - Moves breatheable air into and out of the lungs, to provide the mechanism of breath-

ing for a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or is breathing insufficiently. WANDERGUARD - Offered at some facilities. A resident with memory loss or confusion wears a small discrete pendant. Each external door in the care home is fitted with a radio detector which detects when a pendant moves near an exit. The WanderGuard will sound an audible alarm, alerting the staff of a patient wandering. ~
