Welcome to the 21st Edition of the Seniors Blue Book for South Central Pennsylvania, covering Adams, Berks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York counties.
With the rapid rise of computer use and the emergence of artificial intelligence, many aspects of daily life are changing. While these advances bring exciting opportunities, they can also make it easier to feel out of touch—or even become a target for scams. That’s why it’s more important than ever to stay informed. We’re here to help you continue learning, stay connected, and remain resilient in a changing world. Be sure to check out the articles “Scam Proof Your Retirement” and “Scammers Impersonate the Government” on pages 74 and 138.
Inside this guide, you’ll find a wide range of resources and helpful information related to senior living and care, aiming to make those answers easy to find. The guide is organized in a simple, user-friendly format. Take a look at

the color-coded edge of the book—each color helps identify a section: Resources (Blue), Health at Home (Purple), and Housing (Green). This edition also features several insightful articles, including “Understanding Senior Living Options,” an overview of the new online scheduling tool for transportation in Lebanon County, and “Making Our World a Nicer Place.” We hope these articles inform and inspire you.

ALZHEIMER’S IMPACT MOVEMENT (AIM) ADVANCES CAUSE THROUGH POLITICAL PROCESS
Alzheimer’s disease is not just an aging issue—it’s a public health crisis. More than 7 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s, and in 2025, Alzheimer’s will cost the nation more than $384 billion.
Alzheimer’s affects not only individuals, but families, businesses and communities. And while there is good news—with new diagnostic tests making it easier to identify Alzheimer’s and new medications coming on line to help delay the progression of the disease—this new era of treatment is already facing hurdles when it comes to providing Alzheimer’s patients with access to the care they need.
AIM (Alzheimer’s Impact Movement) is working to change this. As the advocacy arm of the Alzheimer’s Association, AIM fights to support Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding and to advance bipartisan legislation that will have a positive and meaningful impact on people living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers today and in the future.
“AIM works to ensure that Alzheimer’s remains a leading priority on Capitol Hill by participating in the political process,” said Michael Galvan, Director of State Affairs-Pennsylvania, Alzheimer’s Association. “We work to educate candidates of both parties to make sure that Alzheimer’s and dementia are part of the national plan. Our voices make sure that Alzheimer’s remains a national priority.”
Working collaboratively, AIM members target numerous issues on both a state and national level that affect those with the disease. These include the creation of Alzheimer’s-related public health infrastructure, pushing for more federal funding for research, and fighting the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for its decision to block access to FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatments.
“When we talk about the need to move our mission forward and to change the trajectory of the disease, work in policy and advocacy is instrumental in that,” said Galvan. “The impact of what we do is big, because changing the laws changes the lives of so many people.”
To volunteer for AIM or to learn more, visit www.alzimpact.org or reach out to Michael Galvan at mrgalvan@alz.org.

HOSPICE - Hospices provide individuals facing a terminal illness with care in a private residence or in a healthcare facility. The goal is to provide quality of life and to assist patients to live the last stages of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than curative treatment of the terminal illness.
SERVICES PROVIDED:
RN-REGISTERED NURSE – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family education as needed
SW-SOCIAL WORKER – Assesses patient and family emotional and social needs, develops a plan of care, and provides counseling and support to meet identified needs, and makes referrals to other providers based on family and patient’s needs
CHAPLAIN – Assesses patient and family spiritual needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, assists with memorial preparations.
VOLUNTEERS – Provides companionship and needed nonmedical services for patients and their families, o ers support at time of death and during bereavement.
LEVELS OF CARE:
RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in managing the individual’s disease symptoms. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence or in a healthcare facility.
RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a skilled nursing facility. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the facility.
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 higher level of care is due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. The 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. It 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 to the patient at their private residence or in a personal care home or assisted living facility. 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 reserved for crises that require a constant presence by a nurse or care team.
THERAPY SERVICES PROVIDED:
AR-AROMA THERAPY – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence, a retirement
community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility.
MA-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.
MU-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.
P-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.
24/7 ADMISSIONS – 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. Many hospice companies provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting.
HOME HEALTH – Indicates whether the hospice agency has a sister
home health agency that will provide assistance with medically based home health needs such as nursing services, home health aide services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy or speech therapy.
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.
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.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Charge your device as far away from your bed as possible. Added bonus? The distance may help youfeel less overwhelmed in general.
Dim your screen or use a red filter app at night. The bright blue light of most devices can mess with your circadian rhythm and melatonin production.
Alarms aren’t just for waking up – set a bedtime alarm to remind you that it’s time to wrap it up for the night.
If you’ve got a scrolling habit you need to kick, try an app-blocking app that makes it impossible to get lost in after-hours emails, social media or gaming.
Tell notifications to buzz off if they’re waking you up at night. Put your phone on “do not disturb” mode to block it all out when you’re trying to sleep.

Questionnaire for Evaluating Healthcare and Lifestyle Needs
Preparing for healthcare and lifestyle needs as you age is essential to ensuring comfort, financial security, and peace of mind. At some point, most people will face ongoing and potentially large healthcare costs, these odds increase dramatically with age. This questionnaire promotes proactive planning to access and manage the financial, medical, and lifestyle aspects of aging effectively.
Lifestyle:
Do you have a plan for transportation and appointments when you stop driving?
Have you considered in-home services or relocating as you age?
Are you aware of local senior services and support systems for caregiving, especially for dementia care?
Cash Flow:
Do you know your social security or pension income and survivor benefits?
Are you prepared for the direct and indirect costs of health insurance and emergency healthcare?
Do you understand Medicare and Medicaid qualifications and their limitations?
Have you planned for income changes if a spouse passes away?
Taxes:
Do you know what healthcare-related expenses may be tax-deductible?
Have you consulted a tax preparer to optimize deductions for increased healthcare costs?
Continued on page 158
Continued from page 156
Are you aware of how recent legislation, such as the SECURE Act, affects your retirement plans?
Financial Institutions:
Do you work with a financial advisor to manage healthcare cost increases?
Have you reviewed your investment strategy and considered consolidating financial accounts?
Are family members informed about your accounts to assist when needed?
Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI):
Do you know the benefits, limits, and premium changes for your LTCI policy?
Are you aware of care costs versus LTCI reimbursement and the claims submission process?
Planning Where to Live:
Have you decided whether to stay in your home, move closer to family, or relocate?
If aging in place, is your home assessed for livability, or have you researched home care fees?
Are you informed about retirement community services, pricing models, and 24-hour care needs?
