How to find the proper type of Senior Housing and Level of Care*

Retirement Housing

Apartment-like facilities that include living essentials such as meals and transportation. These often include facilities for various activities.

Assisted Living

These facilities are set up to provide residents help with daily activities and also usually offer some level of healthcare services.

Residential Care

Non-apartment facilities that provide assistance for residents with medication, hygiene, and simple tasks such as getting dressed. Typically a home setting.

Skilled Nursing/Rehab

These facilities are licensed and equipped to provide residents with healthcare that meets the needs of more involved medical problems.

Alzheimer’s/Dementia Assistance

Alzheimer’s facilities provide special programs and assistance for those with memory loss. Some may provide special security measures to prevent residents

from wandering off during periods of disorientation.

Respite Care

Facilities that provide Respite Care offer family and other caretakers a reprieve from the stress and work of everyday care of elderly persons who cannot perform

or manage care for themselves.

Home Care

Various types of at-home care, both medical and non-medical, that allow seniors to remain in their place of residence rather than having to travel back and forth or be admitted to a medical facility. A cost-effective alternative to hospital stays or

Skilled Nursing facilities.

Senior Day Care

Facilities that provide for the needs of seniors during daytime hours only. Services typically include meals, social interaction, arts/crafts/entertainment, and

stretching/gentle exercise. Centers often accommodate seniors with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. Day care allows family to go to work or a much needed rest.

Hospice Care

End of life care for the terminally ill, usually via visits in the home or facility of residence. Focus lies with pain management, comfort, and emotional

support for the individual and family.

Care Management

Care managers examine their clients’ needs and make recommendations regarding Home Care providers, the best type of housing for the individual, and

other aspects of care that can be daunting for a senior or their family. These recommendations are orchestrated into a comprehensive plan of care.

ChoosingtheRIGHT

Living Facility

Although Baby Boomers are redefining aging as they enter their retirement years, many will discover that they are beginning to need assistance with day-to-day activities either for

themselves or a family member. Regardless of whom the job of caregiving falls to, caring for a loved one is an extremely important and stressful task. Fortunately, today there are many options for the willing and the reluctant. But, due to budget cuts some of the senior housing in your area may no longer be an option. For some, a living facility may be beyond their own community which means that planning ahead is the best option; getting a head start eases the stress, gives the individual more control over the selection, and provides more time to research options. Once a loved one has determined that assistance is necessary or desirable, consider these things:

1. Safety Issues – How well can he/she get around on their own?2. Medical Issues – Are they able to take medications as directed per label or doctor? Or do they need supervision?3. Costs – Payment options:

– Medicare Part A is a hospital insurance provided by Medicare. Most people are not required to pay a premium for this type of coverage.– Medicare Part B is to pay for medically necessary services. Most people will have to pay a premium for this coverage.

– Private Pay – Long-Term Care Insurance

4. Location- How close to family and friends will your loved one want/need to be?5. Medical Options? Are they showing signs of Alzheimer’s/Dementia or Parkinson’s?

Once these have all been taken into consideration, begin to look into the different types of housing available to determine the best fit. Assisted Living – This category of housing provides care for those who need some help, yet would like to remain as independent as possible. Assisted living facilities offer, but do not require, aid with things such as: bathing, eating, dressing and housekeeping. An excellent option for those who do not require constant care. Nursing Home – While this type of housing is designed to care for those unable to care for themselves, with numerous

medical and health requirements, it is always best to consider a nursing home that allows for frequent visits from friends and family.

Home Care – Home Health services include skilled personnel who provide care in the patient’s home or in a living facility. This will ensure a continued independence while providing all of the care and assistance required. A doctor must prescribe home healthcare. Medicare may cover all or part of this service. Homemaker Services do not require a doctor’s order because a nurse and medical assistance is not needed. Home Care companies providing homemaker

services allow a loved one to remain in their own home and provide services such as transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands and companion services. Some companies accept Medicare, but most are private pay. Continuing Care Retirement Community – Combining residential accommodations and health services, the Continuing Care Retirement Community allows for the aging to receive appropriate care as needs change, while in a community environment. They generally include independent living options that progress to skilled nursing options as the resident’s aging needs require. Skilled Nursing – Skilled Nursing provides different levels of care, care that can only be administered by trained medical professionals. Other Considerations – Patients may have to rely on personal funds or may be able to utilize Medicaid or Medicare. The levels of independence and privacy will vary depending upon the type of housing chosen. Some offer private rooms and some will have

roommates. Deciding whether to go with medical or homemaker care depends upon whether a meal will need to be provided, medications dispensed and assistance with bathing and/or getting dressed is needed. Again, whether the job falls to a friend or a relative, caring for a senior is an extremely important and stressful task. Be sure to research your options so that you know what is available. There are many companies now providing services for a fee to assist families in navigating through options for housing. One group, Geriatric Care Managers (GCM’s), are individuals with expertise and knowledge in working with families to help determine

patient needs and then match local resources available to meet them. GCM’s can assist families with referrals for special needs (Alzheimer’s) as well as determining which options fall within the patient’s budget. Be sure to check if they are a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers. There are many online tools and resources to assist with researching what options are best for you or your loved one. In addition to online resources, there are many websites and blogs specifically to provide a support system for caregivers. The good news is that you are not alone.

Respite care provides short term breaks that relieves stress, restores energy, and promotes balance in one’s life.In-home respite • Informal family support and relief • Online caregiver communities and video workshops • Volunteer or paid companionship • Personal care or skilled health assistanceOut-of-home respite• Adult day programs • Residential respite care • Caregiver support groups

Be sure to ask some of the following questions when searching for the proper form of respite for your loved one…• How are care providers screened? • What is the training and level of experience of the care providers? • Will care providers need additional training to meet specific family needs? • How, and by whom, are the care providers supervised? • What procedures does the program have for emergencies? • Are families limited to a certain number of hours of services? • Does the program provide transportation and meals? • What is the cost of services? How is payment arranged?

How to use the Senior Resource GuideGETTING STARTED IS EASY

1. HOUSINGYou should first familiarize yourself with the different options available to determine which housing option best fits your needs. To get started, locate our article on Choosing the Right Living Facility. Use our SRG Living Facilities Listings to quickly to find locations in/near the city of your choice. The SRG Living Facilities Checklist is a handy tool to compare different facilities. This section is subdivided by type of housing noted on the Housing tab – Retirement/Independent; Assisted Living, Residential Care Homes, Skilled Nursing Facilities.

2. HOME CARE This section provides resources for both Home Health services that provide skilled nursing assistance as well as Home Care services that provide sitter services, transportation and light housekeeping.

Included in this section are resources for caregivers – Help for Caregivers. Use the SRG Home Care Charts once you determine whether you are looking for skilled or non-skilled home care assistance to direct to you local companies providing those services.

Texas Law dictates that both birth and death certificates are deemed confidential for a set period of time. Birth certificates are confidential for 75 years, and death certificates are confidential for 25 years after the death has occurred. If a birth or death certificate is requested before this period of time elapses, certified copies of these documents can only be obtained by a qualified applicant. A qualified applicant can be an immediate family member (by blood or marriage), a legal guardian, or the legal representative of the person for whom the document is requested. If you are not a qualified applicant, you may request a verification of a birth or death record.

Fees charged for copies of birth and death certificates by the different county offices may vary slightly – contact your local office about cost for copies of Birth and Death Certificates. Certified copies of the birth and death certificates are issued with a state seal and are printed on security paper. Heirloom birth certificates have a different cost and are printed on special paper that boasts a design celebrating Texas. The heirloom certificate ($60) is only offered through Austin, Texas. Funeral homes will supply certified copies of a death certificate for a small fee if requested at the time funeral arrangements are made. It is recommended that you get at least twelve copies of the certificate and notify anyone with whom the deceased had an account.

VERIFICATION OF BIRTH AND DEATH The verification of a birth or death record is NOT a certified copy of the birth or death certificate, but a letter with the person’s name, date of occurrence, county where the birth or death took place and a state file number. Letters may not be available at all birth and death registrars. Verifications are available from 1903 to the present date. Fees for birth and death verification (for regular mail or walk-in service) range from $22–$30. This fee is non-refundable for records that are not located. Additional fees will apply for faxing and overnight services.

Deceased Identity TheftTo avoid identity theft of a deceased person, it is recommended that you take the following steps:

• Scale back the obituary—don’t provide too much information.

• Notify banks and creditors.

• Contact credit reporting bureaus—request decedent’s credit report and flag as “deceased.”

• Report death to Social Security; they will flag decedent’s number as inactive.

PHASES OF GRIEFThe death of a loved one shakes the very foundation of your life. Grief has four distinct phases:

1). Shock and numbness

2). Yearning and searching: Survivors

experience separation anxiety and cannot accept loss.

3). Disorganization and despair: Family members feel depressed and find it difficult to plan for the future or concentrate and focus on anything.

4). Reorganization

How Does Hospice Work?• Hospice care is for any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness. Most reimbursement sources require a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients with both cancer and non-cancer illnesses are eligible to receive hospice care. All hospices consider the patient and family together as the unit of care.

• The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or the homes of a loved one. “Home” may also be broadly construed to include services provided in nursing homes, hospitals and prisons.

• Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and, when appropriate, helps make decisions for the terminally ill individual. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Who is the Hospice Team?• Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes, at a minimum, a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers. They work together focusing on the dying patient’s needs; physical, psychological, or spiritual. The goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible, with loved ones nearby until death. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient’s individual needs for pain management and symptom control.

How is Hospice Paid for?• Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and most private insurers. If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided.

What You need to Know and Where to CallHospice

Who is Eligible for Medicare Hospice Benefits?Hospice care is covered under Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance). You are eligible for Medicare hospice benefits when you meet all of the following conditions:

• You are eligible for Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance), and

• Your doctor and the hospice medical director certify that you are terminally ill and probably have less than six months to live, and

• You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare covered benefits for your terminal illness,* and

• You receive care from a Medicare-approved hospice program.

Please note: Medicare will still pay for covered benefits for any health problems that aren’t related to your terminal illness.

What Does Medicare Cover?Medicare covers these hospice services and pays nearly all of their costs:

• Doctor services

• Nursing care

• Medical equipment (like wheelchairs or walkers)

• Medical supplies (like bandages and catheters)

• Drugs for symptom control and pain relief

• Short-term care in the hospital, including respite and inpatient for pain and symptom management

• Home health aide and homemaker services

• Physical and occupational therapy

• Speech therapy

• Social work services

• Dietary counseling

• Grief support to help you and your family

Please note: You will only have to pay part of the cost for outpatient drugs and inpatient respite care.

Respite Care and Medicare?Respite care is care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest. As a hospice patient, you may have one person who takes care of you every day, like a family member. Sometimes your caregiver needs someone to take care of you for a short time while they do other things that need to be done. During a period of respite care, you will be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice residential facility, hospital, or nursing home.

The Medicare Hospice Benefit Does Not Cover the Following:

Treatment intended to cure your terminal illness –As a hospice patient, you will receive comfort care to help manage symptoms related to your illness. Comfort care includes medications for symptom control and pain relief, physical care, counseling, and other hospice services. Medications not directly related to your hospice diagnosis are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit.

Hospice team members will consult with the hospice physician and will inform you and your family which drugs and/or medications are covered and which ones are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit. The Hospice uses medicine, equipment, and supplies to make you as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Under the hospice benefit, Medicare won’t pay for treatment to cure your illness. You should talk with your doctor if you are thinking about potential treatment to cure your illness. As a hospice patient, you always have the right to stop getting hospice care and receive the “traditional” Medicare coverage you had before electing hospice.

Care from another provider that is the same care that you are getting from your hospice –All care that you receive for your illness must be given by your hospice team. You can’t get the same type of care from a different provider unless you change your hospice provider.

Nursing Home Room and Board –Room and board aren’t covered by Medicare. You may receive hospice services wherever you live, even in a nursing home, however, the Medicare Hospice Benefit does not pay for nursing home room and board.

How Do I Begin Receiving Hospice?Anyone can inquire about hospice services. You or your loved one may call a local hospice and request services. The hospice staff will then contact your physician to determine if a referral to hospice is appropriate. Another way to inquire about hospice is to talk with your physician, and he or she can make a referral to hospice. Hospice can begin as soon as a ‘referral’ is made by the person’s doctor.

Questions to Ask When Choosing a Hospice ProgramHospice care is a philosophy of care that accepts dying as a natural part of life. When death is inevitable, hospice seeks neither to hasten nor postpone it. Below is a list of questions you should consider when looking for a hospice program.

• What services are provided?

• What kind of support is available to the family/caregiver?

• What roles do the attending physician and hospice play?

• What does the hospice volunteer do?

• How does hospice work to keep the patient comfortable?

• How are services provided after hours?

• How and where does hospice provide short-term inpatient care?

• Can hospice be brought into a nursing home or long-term care facility?
