Assisted-Care Living Facilities. An Assisted-Care Living
Facility accepts residents for domiciliary care and non-medical
assistance, and medical assistance as prescribed by the resident's
treating physician, limited to the extent such orders can be provided
by a home care organization. The facility may provide assistance
with medications, and assistance with all activities of daily
living. Skilled nursing services, nursing care, physical, occupational
and speech therapy, and medical social services may be provided
in the facility by a licensed home care organization. Residents
may not continue to reside in the facility (for more than 21 days)
if they are in the latter stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Adult Day Care
 Adult
Day Care programs provide an assortment of health, therapeutic, and
social services to those at risk of being placed in a nursing environment.
Adult Day Care services support elderly individuals who lack full
independence but who do not need 24-hour nursing care. Services may
include therapeutic and social activities designed to meet and enhance
the participant's level of functioning through individual plans of
care. Such Adult Day Care services generally provide support, respite
and education for caregivers.
A typical Adult Day Care center operates 10 - 12 hours per day and
provides meals, social/recreational outings, and general supervision.
Some Adult Day Care centers maintain a nurse on-site and may also
provide transportation and personal care.
With the added support through participation in Adult Day Care, admission
to rest homes or nursing homes may be delayed. Hence, participants
may be able to remain at home with family members for a longer period
of time. In addition the social stimulation and recreational activities
often mitigate the decline of cognitive/physical functions.
Adult Day Care support also aids caregivers by providing respite services
thus enabling caregivers to work or to have a break from their caregiving
responsibilities.
Costs for services are usually less than a home health visit and significantly
less than a skilled nursing facility. Daily fees for adult day services
vary depending upon the services provided.

Insurance, Long Term Care
|
Because of old age, mental or physical illness,
or injury, some people find themselves in need of help with eating,
bathing, dressing, and other physical activities. Long-term care
insurance can help pay for such care in the future. To help protect
your financial independence, as you grow older, many Long Term
Care Insurance providers have plans that offer comprehensive benefits
as well as a proven track record of claims payments and financial
stability. You should review all your options carefully.

Assisted Living Communities
 Your
retirement planning should be based on understanding the options
associated with Assisted living. As part of a retirement plan
these options combine housing, support services and health care,
as needed. Assisted living is a retirement service for individuals
who require assistance with everyday activities such as meals,
medication management or assistance, bathing, dressing and transportation.
Some residents may have memory disorders including Alzheimer's,
or they may need help with mobility, incontinence or other challenges
of senior life. Residents are assessed to determine the level
of service they may need. These retirement services generally
include: 24/7 supervision, 3 meals a day, housekeeping, transportation,
minor medical attention, personal care assistance, security and
emergency call, exercise programs, social and educational activities.
In addition some Assisted living communities may provide: gardens,
libraries, and chapels. Assisted living communities are operated by both
profit and non-profit organizations. Pricing can range from $1000
to over $4,000 per month based on your location. There may be
extra fees for special services.

Aging In Place
 |
"Aging in place"
is growing older without having to move. Aging in place with
supportive services is one of the most desirable ways of aging.
Aging in place can achieve efficiencies enabled by the customized
care. Successful aging in place approaches focus on the provision
of the most appropriate care for the specific individual.
Thus avoiding wasted costs brought on by a "generic"
care model. |
An aging in place scenario, creates
housing and health care options to provide support as defined by
an individualís wishes and efforts to live independently.
Aging in place can work best when it is employed as a part of a
comprehensive plan for retirement and aging. A key step in implementing
aging in place is to make your home aging friendly. As we age we
don't hear so well, we sometimes forget or get confused and we can
even outlive doctor's predictions about our longevity. So as long
as we persist in growing older, why not arrange our homes to accommodate
our reality. Incorporate memory triggers into the way we arrange
cabinets and counters, add soft fabrics to muffle background noises,
change appliances to better accommodate our short-comings.
Here is a book to help you make your
homes senior-friendly.
