SENIOR HOUSING

First you should familiarize yourself with the many options available and determine which one is best for your needs. You will find definitions of each type of housing throughout each section. Then turn to our easy to read comparison grids. The grids are divided into 4 categories, depending on the type of community: Independent Living and Retirement, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Skilled Nursing. The buildings are listed by city or county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

Why We Fail To Plan For Long-Term Care – Planning Ahead By Most Americans do not know, or refuse to accept, the facts surroundGetting Past The ing their potential need for long-term care and the costs associated with it. Unknowns According to a Genworth Survey, 70% of Americans over the age of 65 will need some type of long-term care. In addition, by the year 2040, 22% of the population will be over the age of 65, which is a 10% increase from the year 2000. Yet, this survey showed an increasing number of people over the age of 40 refused to believe they will ever need longterm care. Cost of Long-Term Care The survey showed a lack of understanding by many of the coverage available for long-term care. The truth is that Medicare does not pay for ongoing long-term care and typically doesn’t pay for care in the home. Most health insurance plans will not cover long-term services. Medicaid is a federally and state funded needs-based benefit that will provide for various types of long-term care. The actual costs for long-term care are staggering. The average annual bill for a nursing home is $90,000 and for home health care, approximately $50,000. Planning Ahead Most Americans are unprepared for the costs associated with long-term care. For example, the results of the

survey showed that only one-third of adults were “very or extremely confident” in their ability to pay for long-term care. While many individuals reported being concerned over leaving family with debt or becoming a burden on loved ones, many do little to alleviate their concern in the way of planning. In fact, just over 30% of those over the age of 65 reported being concerned with this. And, finally, two-thirds of Americans over the age of 40 reported doing no planning for long-term care. Help is Available Although not a popular topic among Americans over the age of forty, the experienced attorneys and staff at Elder Law of Omaha are available to provide caring guidance that will help you navigate the overwhelming and confusing information regarding long-term care.

The waivers allow the state to waive traditional Medicaid services to provide services and supports in community settings (as opposed to nursing homes or institutional settings).

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Respite Care And Finding Trustworthy FACT: Most adults over the age In-Home Care of 65 prefer to stay in their own home as long as possible. We know there are many long-term benefits of allowing adults the freedom to age in place. Staying at home helps seniors maintain a routine, and home provides the familiarity and comfort no other place can. FAMILY CAREGIVERS: Their duties cover a wide range of responsibilities requiring endless amounts of energy, empathy, and patience. It can be a fulfilling experience, but it also comes with its own unique challenges including: Emotional and physical stress A loss of self-identity n Lack of time to care for themselves n Financial strain n Feelings of isolation n Sleep deprivation n N eed to do it all and not ask for help n n

FAMILY RESPITE CARE SERVICES: Respite care allows family members in a primary caregiving role to take some time off from their responsibilities so they can focus on themselves for a while. While the family member takes a break, a professional caregiver can be there to make sure that their loved one is well taken care of, safe and comfortable. FINDING A HOME CARE YOU CAN TRUST – Preparation: n I dentify your loved one’s In-Home care needs n A sk family, friends or doctor for referrals and/or go online

M ake a list and choose 3 to 5 home care providers n C all and ask for a complimentary in-home assessment n

HOSPICE CARE

Honoring Veterans and Veteran Volunteers 1 Out of Every 4 Americans Dying is a Veteran As we care for our hospice patients, we see that active military personnel or Veterans may have unique and special needs that enable us to care for them in a very special way. They may have served in combat, witnessed their comrades die in battle or suffered trauma during their military service which has created memories that have been hidden away for years. They may have never told anyone about their experiences and only when they have developed a relationship with their hospice team are they able to finally share their stories and memories and achieve a true peace which heals their heart and soul. AseraCare Hospice an Amedisys company in Lincoln, NE is proud to be a Level 4 We Honor Veterans Partner. We Honor Veterans is a national program conducted by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in cooperation with the Department of Veteran Affairs. This program assists hospice professionals to better understand the challenges Veterans may be facing during their end-of-life journey. We are proud to coordinate and offer special ceremonies and services such as our Vet-to-Vet cafes, We Honor Veterans pinning ceremonies, support groups and special recognition and honors on military holidays. In addition, AseraCare Hospice an

Amedisys company in Lincoln, NE collaborates with the Lincoln Quilters Guild to present our Veteran patients with a Quilt of Valor. The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. As part of our Volunteer Program and our partnership with the We Honor Veterans Program, we utilize Veteran Volunteers within our Volunteer Program. Our Veteran Volunteers are active members of the military or Veterans, who are trained as a Hospice Volunteer to serve as a specialized hospice volunteer to help care and meet the needs of our Veteran patients at the end of life in our Vet to Vet Volunteer Program. Our Veteran Volunteers make regular visits to the Veteran patient, allowing them to share their stories with someone who understands military culture and/or military history. It is a great privilege for AseraCare Hospice an Amedisys company in Lincoln, NE to collaborate with the Lincoln Quilters Guild and our Veteran Volunteers to honor the Veterans who come to us for care, to thank them for their service to our country and to help them find peace and comfort in their end-of-life journey. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Bruce Jones, He is with AseraCare Hospice and may be reached at 402488-1336 or by email at Bruce.Jones@ aseracare.com.

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions continued 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. 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. IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting. LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety 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. 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 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. 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. PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. 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. 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. 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. ~

OVATION HEARTWOOD PRESERVE

Ovation Opening Soon in Nebraska

vation Heartwood Preserve is now accepting reservations in Nebraska. With a focus on wellness and fitness, the new independent living, assisted living and memory care campus is opening late 2021. The active adult lifestyle village is part of the new 500-acre Heartwood Preserve master-planned community in West Omaha. Ovation’s two-building campus covers 325,000 square feet and will include a full continuum of care and 300 residences. Those interested in learning more about this innovative concept can visit Ovation’s Reservation Showroom in the Pepperwood Village shopping plaza. “Our Reservation Showroom is an opportunity for people to experience what living at Ovation has to offer,” says company President Nicolette Merino. “It’s important that we deliver an unparalleled combination of innovation, service, amenities, wellness, culinary arts, and technology. We’ve already had multiple reservations, so the premium views are going quickly.” Ovation will be the first of its kind in many ways. It will allow today’s aging innovators, leaders, and civic-minded individuals to find their inspiration for life and freedom to relax, give back, travel, inspire, and tackle life with enthusiasm. Ovation will be Nebraska’s first voice-activated smart community. The Ovation Connect system brings together all of the technologies residents want and need into a single, easy-to-use system. The technology will be personalized to the unique needs and interests of each resident and includes security and safety features that provide peace of mind. Set amid parks, 8 miles of walking and bike paths, Ovation’s campus is located northwest of the corner of South 144th Street and Pacific Street near Millard North High School. In addition to high ceilings, classic detailing, stainless steel appliances, and quartz countertops, Ovation will also feature multiple restaurants including 1863 fine dining, Miller’s@Omaha and the Peony Park Bistro. Ovation will offer residents a rooftop deck, business center, theater room, Quik Pik convenience store, Starbucks, and lush courtyards. The community will also feature a pool and wellness center. Classes offered include yoga, tai chai, and access to a personal trainer. “We believe everyone is looking for an ovation for their life’s work and purpose,” states Merino. “Within these walls are places to live, thrive, invent, volunteer, and innovate.” For more information contact Ovation at 402-999-7900 or heartwoodpreserve@ovationbyavamere.com.

Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 91 INTERMEDIATE CARE – 24 hour inpatient care residents who need licensed nursing supervision and supportive care, but do not require continuous nursing care. Residents may receive full assistance with ADL’s and transfers. Residents receive meds from a nurse following a doctor’s orders and may receive outpatient rehab services. Facilities may use a nurse as a their consultant and the residents receive periodic assessments from a licensed practitioner. LONG-TERM CARE – Chronic, custodial care provided on an on-going basis MEDICAID WAIVER – An assisted living waiver may be used to transition individuals out of nursing facilities or to provide persons at risk of institutionalization with options for remaining in their communities. Assisted living waivers are designed to provide an alternative to more costly nursing home care. PRICE DEPENDENT ON LEVELS OF CARE – Flexible levels of service geared to accommodate different needs over time. Rates may vary depending on the changing levels of care while one maintains the same physical residence. PUBLIC HOUSING (PH) – Affordable apartments for low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities.

REHABILITATION AND THERAPY – Many skilled nursing facilities offer restorative and rehabilitative physical and occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services. Short-term rehabilitation services may be provided to individuals with diagnoses such as joint replacements, stroke, etc. Long-term rehab may also be provided for permanent residents of the facility who have chronic or progressive illnesses. Occupational therapy services in this setting are generally reimbursed by Medicare Part A for short-term, acute care clients; Medicare Part B for long-term residents who require skilled services and have medically necessary need for rehab; and often by private insurance, Medicaid, or private pay for younger clients. RESIDENTIAL HOME – Assisted living homes are private residential homes that typically have a small number of residents who live together and receive care from live-in caretakers. Adult family homes offer room and board for seniors who want a more private, home-like community. Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing are provided. Amenities and nursing services vary greatly between homes. Ask about their services when you tour. They are also referred to as personal board and care homes. Most accept private pay; Medicaid in some instances. Continued on page 125

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Just as no two people think exactly alike, no two people have the exact same reason for making a move. However, there are some common reasons that people may consider, including:

interests and hobbies – such as taking you fishing or hunting, setting up regular card games or pool tournaments – as well as offering you opportunities to try something you’ve never experienced before!

Help With Care Assisted living communities have the capability to help residents with varying care needs maintain their independence with a little help staff on-site. Some of the typical cares provided by an assisted living community include medication management or assistance with bathing and/ or getting dressed.

Maintaining a Home Is No Longer Feasible or Wanted For some people, the responsibility that comes along with maintaining a home becomes a hassle, especially as they age. In assisted living, these responsibilities are removed. Regular housekeeping and laundry are most often included. Delicious meals are provided and can even be customized to fit specific dietary needs. And say goodbye to home maintenance – most communities even have a maintenance director or handyperson on-site or on-call.

Peace of Mind Assisted living can provide peace of mind for both a resident as well as their family and friends. Even if little care is needed, the fact that they will be in a safe environment, among the company of others, with staff on hand to check on them regularly can ease worries for all. Good Company and Social Opportunities Assisted living offers fun social opportunities including games, crafting, cooking, art and more. Many communities offer outings and trips for residents to enjoy. Good communities will provide opportunities for you to continue your current

ing for a way to talk about it and see if they are open to any changes and support? Introducing assisted living may improve their quality of life and support their needs.

How do you start this heart-toheart? “It’s important to know what’s going on in his or her life,” says Amy Muller, Housing Advisor at Prairie Gate, a Presbyterian Homes & Services (PHS) senior living community, located in Council Bluffs, IA. “It’s even more important to listen. Ask questions, knowing that the conversation will occur over time. Above all, keep your parent in the ‘driver’s seat’ so that they make the decisions about their life,” she advises. Ask your parent what it takes to maintain their house and how well they can move about it comfortably and effectively. Find out how much space in the house they actually use and how well they can go in and out freely and safely. “Limited mobility beyond the walls can translate into isolation and loneliness,” Amy observes. It’s also vital to dispel outdated notions. Far from being a “nursing home,” assisted living at Prairie Gate offers studio, one or two bedroom apartments with open floor plans and fully equipped kitchens, complemented by supportive services including housekeeping, meals and personal care.

Your parent may fear losing their independence. “Assisted living residents make their own decisions and continue to lead their life the way they wish,” Amy assures. For older adults with memory loss, Memory Care offers a vibrant and secure neighborhood within the assisted living setting. Trained care staff and specialized programming create a community designed to help those with memory loss to function at their highest level. Scheduling a tour of Prairie Gate will give you a firsthand look at community life. “The most successful moves I have witnessed are made by seniors, with the support of their grown children,” said Amy. Change is hard for all of us, so be prepared to provide emotional support to your parent and be patient. The goal is to obtain the best possible quality of life in the best living environment for them today and for the future. ~

in a position where they don’t know which direction to turn. Senior care and senior living are a rapidly changing landscape of options, and the choices available to Continued on next page Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 115

Why You Need An Eldercare Advisor continued

the average person looking for a new home can seem overwhelming. It’s time to get informed. While navigating the senior care maze can be emotional and frustrating, there are resources available to you. This turning point is especially challenging since very often, the need is unexpected and immediate. An eldercare advisor can help bridge that gap by educating and informing you of the options that relate to your specific situation. An eldercare advisor can be an invaluable voice in sorting out the issues and bringing a fresh perspective to the situation. Here are 3 reasons why you need an eldercare advisor to help your family:

It’s an Emotional Decision Making decisions, sometimes fast decisions depending on your loved one’s situation, can be emotional and stressful. We don’t make our best — or most informed decisions — when we are faced with frustration and sadness.

An Advisor is a Local Expert That Can Save You Time Eldercare advisors can provide an insider’s view on local senior communities and short- and long-term care options. They can narrow down your list of communities to visit and ensure it is the right fit for your loved one. They visit communities regularly and have been working with families in your similar situation. Comprehensively trained, they are true experts and are a great resource for community, care and transition information.

It’s a Free Service! Eldercare Advisors are ready to help you find independent living, assisted living and memory care communities that meet your loved one’s care needs. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Nikki Wulff, Owner of Assisted Living Locators.

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

When the Crisis Hits... “When the Crisis Hits”, families may have very little time to decide on the best care facility for a loved one. Trying to find a Skilled Nursing Care center as the clock races can make you feel overwhelmed or even paralyzed. Fortunately, there are always care options available, even when time isn’t. We recommend breaking down your decision into three steps: Step 1: Research Ask family and friends to recommend caregivers or centers. Find and compare Skilled Nursing Care Centers online with Medicare’s “Nursing Care Compare,” a rating site for Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes, professionally called Skilled Nursing Care centers. Medicare has developed a fivestar quality rating system based on health inspection results, care center staff data, quality measures, and fire safety inspection results. Though there is plentiful information you can find, relying on ratings alone is not sufficient enough to make a decision. Be wary of for-profit placement services, you want your decision to be based on careful consideration, not their commission. Step 2: Consider Based on your research, choose about three centers to visit. Call each to schedule a tour. Communi-

cate the immediacy of your situation and ask to speak with an admissions coordinator. The admissions coordinator can tell you more about the center and availability. Only visit centers that you know have available accommodations.

Step 3: Select After visiting and doing your research, select the center that best meets your care needs and consider giving yourself one night to sleep on your decision. Once you have made your care choice, learn more about what to expect during the transition. As you go through the decision process, remember your loved one will need you as much now as ever. You’ll remain an integral part of your loved one’s care and decisions. You are your loved one’s strongest voice and advocate. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Karl Bieber, Public Relations Coordinator for Vetter Senior Living.
