National Home Care and Hospice Month – Honoring Front-Line Heroes in the Home

November is National Home Care and Hospice Month.

Designated as such by the National Association for Home Care and Hospice, this month recognizes individuals in the US who care for the aging and chronically ill in their homes. These compassionate professionals play a pivotal role in our healthcare system and the families of more than 5million people across the country.

National Home Care and Hospice Month celebrates home health aides, therapists, social workers, and nurses for their care, time, and energy.

Among those receiving ongoing care, receiving care in the home is the preferred method of healthcare delivery. 90% of Americans choose to age in place and for a good reason. According to AARP, aging in place promotes life satisfaction, a positive quality of life, and healthy self-esteem. With over 12,000 home care agencies, choosing the right one can be overwhelming.

It’s essential to choose a provider that best suits your individual needs.

We advise you the following tips to ensure you’re working with the home care agency that will prioritize your goals for aging while keeping you safe in your home, no matter what comes:

How long has the agency been serving the community?
What training does the care team receive? Are their workers insured and bonded? Do they check references and perform background checks?
Does the agency have a care manager that evaluates the specific care needed? What does this process look like?
Does this agency include the individual and their family in the plan of care? Are they involved in making care plan changes?
Does the patient receive a copy of the care plan? Do they update the care plan regularly?
Does the agency have a method for overseeing the quality of care? Does anyone from the agency make home visits? If so, how often?
Does the agency provide a list of contacts in case there is a concern or complaint? What is the agency’s procedure for addressing concerns or complaints?
How will you pay for care? Does the agency provide a list of payer resources and guidance for finding financial aid and benefits?
What procedures does the agency have in place in case of an emergency? What is their process?
Is someone from the agency available outside of business hours?
How does the agency ensure patient confidentiality?

Although November is designated National Home Care and Hospice Month, we see the impact that these front-line heroes have on our communities every day. If you know of someone who gives their energy to keep the aging, chronically ill, or disabled safe in their homes, take a moment this month to thank them for all they do. And if you or someone you love needs help in their home, contact us today.

Agency or Registry: Which is the Better Choice When it Comes to Finding Care for Your Loved One?

How do you choose between an in-home care agency and a registry?

The time has come. It may have snuck into your life quietly, in the form of repeated conversations, forgotten words, or names. Perhaps it raged into existence in the way of a tragic diagnosis or a bad fall. However it happened, the time has come to consider the safety and well-being of a loved one. Searching for care options can be a daunting task. A quick Google search will bring up a plethora of in-home care agencies, as well as registries. But what’s the difference between an agency and a registry?

The primary distinction between the two is that a home care registry is a third party whose objective is collecting a fee. A home care agency has your interests at the forefront.

A registry provides you with a directory of caregivers in your area. That’s the extent of what they provide. When you choose to work with a registry, you take personal responsibility for the caregiver who’s coming into your home. The registry has no oversight of the people it is recommending. Background checks, drug testing, training, and liability all fall on your shoulders. And if the caregiver doesn’t work out, or isn’t able to be there at the scheduled time? It’s up to you to replace them.

When you go through an agency to secure your in-home care needs, it’s a vastly different experience.

An agency provides the security of professional oversight, among other things. An agency is responsible for the hiring and training of their care team. This includes background checks and drug testing. They are also responsible for finding a replacement when a caregiver cannot be with your loved one as scheduled. Even the most consistent caregiver will have times when they are unable to show up as expected. Agencies have a pool of professionally trained and vetted caregivers to call upon when a replacement is needed.

Having an agency that manages your loved one’s schedule, care needs, and caregivers is a better option for navigating what is already an emotionally taxing and stressful situation. It’s also important to note that because registries are a third party, their priorities lie with their interests, not yours.

When you work with an agency, you’re getting a service directly from the provider, whose interests are that of your own: to keep your loved one safe and happy in their own home. An agency is invested in the positive outcomes resulting from the work they do from all angles.

In the end, you want to be sure that the goals of the care provider you’ve chosen align with your goals.

Choosing an agency as your provider ensures a collaborative relationship. If you or someone you know is struggling with caring for their loved one, reach out to us. We are as invested in the health, safety, and quality of life of your loved one as you are.

American Diabetes Month: We Stand Greater Than Diabetes

November is American Diabetes Month. As declared by the American Diabetes Association, this year’s theme is “We Stand Greater Than Diabetes.” The association chose this theme to highlight that when we stand together to support the research efforts, legislation, and a healthy lifestyle, we can be greater than the threat of diabetes.

There are three main types of diabetes: Gestational, Type I, and Type II. Type I and II are the most common. Most of the time, patients can successfully manage their diabetes, no matter which kind. Managing this condition can be done through diet and exercise, and in some cases (always, in the case of Type I), medication.

But what is the difference between Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes?

Type I Diabetes: With this type, the body doesn’t produce insulin at all. This type cannot be prevented but can be addressed with medication and insulin therapy. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help manage Type I as well.
Type II Diabetes: Though Type II is preventable, it is the most common type. It often occurs in aging adults. Someone who has Type II diabetes can produce insulin, but their body doesn’t use it properly. One can manage this type successfully with diet and exercise, but in some cases does require medication.

While there’s no cure for diabetes, managing the disease can ensure most people diagnosed will live long, healthy lives. However, complications from the disease can arise if it is not taken care of properly. If left unchecked, this disease can lead to underlying conditions that cause further complications and stress on the body.

Some of these complications are seen frequently in older adults and can require regular medical attention and care.

When diabetes is not managed appropriately, neuropathy (a condition affecting the nerves that can cause a loss of feeling and weakness in the area affected) and poor circulation can occur. This can quickly lead to diabetic wounds and ulcers, often seen on the feet and lower extremities. Not only that, but uncontrolled diabetes can cause other, severe conditions. Examples are heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, issues with vision, and some skin conditions. And of course, some of these can require frequent hospitalizations and multiple new medications.

If you have diabetes, there are things you can do to prevent further complications.

You must keep track of any prescribed medications or insulin therapies. Ensure you’re tracking your blood sugar regularly, if necessary. And of course, maintain a healthy diet and get as much exercise as possible. If your diabetes has already caused complications, it might be a good idea to reach out to an in-home care company that can help you manage a healthier lifestyle. Having caregivers in your home can help ensure that you’re following a proper diet, can help with medication reminders, and, in some cases, medication management. You can also have the peace of mind of having oversight to address any further complications that might emerge.

If you’re an aging adult with diabetes or know someone who could use assistance managing the disease process, reach out to us today. Our professional and trained caregivers can help.

Combating Loneliness and Isolation in Seniors

The effects of loneliness and isolation on aging adults are no small matter. These days, finding ways to connect with our loved ones from afar has become more commonplace than ever.

It’s no secret that social isolation has a poor effect on seniors. Loneliness is connected to anxiety, depression, and higher suicide rates in older adults. Not only that, but seniors that regularly go without social interaction are at increased risk of developing dementia and are at an over 50 percent higher risk for hospitalizations and emergency room visits. In fact, according to the CDC, the risk of premature death from all causes is significantly higher when a senior regularly experiences social isolation.

For many seniors, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, the isolation is not only unwelcome but can be detrimental to their quality of life.

While we are all learning to adjust to a “new normal,” it’s those that are at increased risk of severe complications if they contact Covid-19 that are feeling the effects of this pandemic the most. If your loved one lives in a senior living community, their day-to-day life likely looks much different from months ago. At least they are still surrounded by those in their peer group, as well as the frontline heroes that work to keep them safe and engaged.

But what if your loved-one lives by themselves, in their own home?

If your loved one is comfortable enough with technology, we’ve all learned how integral video chatting can be during this pandemic. Most of us are using zoom or other platforms to stay connected from home with our co-workers. We can connect with those we love in the same way. If not via zoom, Facebook messenger has a video chat option. Skype is another option for keeping in touch from a distance. Have a loved one that isn’t tech-savvy? Pick up the phone, and give them a call.

Hearing from those that love you, especially when it’s too risky to see them in person, can go a long way in making one’s day better.

Because social isolation can be so detrimental to our seniors’ quality of life and overall health, staying active, even from the comfort of one’s home, can make a big difference in mental and emotional health. As can encouraging them to “see the world” from the comfort of their own homes. The Louvre offers virtual tours, or your loved one can take a walk through the Swiss Alps.

Across the globe, people are ready for life to take on some semblance of normal again. For our aging loved ones, this is especially true. In the meantime, find ways to connect with those significantly impacted by the socially distanced landscape. It’s the small things that keep us linked and reminded us that we’re not alone.

If your loved one is struggling with feelings of isolation, reach out to us. A Place At Home can match those you love with a trusted companion to run errands and help curb the loneliness that can be so pervasive during the pandemic.

Parkinson’s CARE Program – A Personalized, In-Home Care Experience for Those Living with PD

Parkinson’s Disease affects over 6 million people worldwide.

Parkinson’s Disease is a slow and progressive neurological condition. Nerve cells in the brain produce dopamine. The nervous system uses dopamine to communicate between nerve cells. Dopamine affects our moods, movement, and memory, among other things. Parkinson’s Disease attacks the nerve cells that produce dopamine. Individuals diagnosed with PD may experience tremors, difficulty speaking, generalized slowness, and shuffling. Cognitive changes may occur as the disease progresses.

Currently, there is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease.

A diagnosis of PD will bring many changes and adjustments to everyday life. As a result, one can find themselves struggling with tasks once done with ease. Things such as getting dressed, eating, and even communicating can become difficult or impossible. The ability to regulate and process emotions can become challenging. Their family members will feel the impact as well. Family members may need to make considerable lifestyle adjustments to address the care needs of their loved one. They can quickly become overwhelmed with the loss of routine and normalcy of their relationship with their loved one.

A Place At Home has designed a Parkinson’s CARE Program to help those diagnosed with PD navigate the Disease on their terms.

A Place At Home has developed a Parkinson’s CARE Program to address those diagnosed with PD’s specific care needs. This program includes:

A personal care plan complete with Parkinson’s-specific assessments to address your individual care needs.
Active and ongoing communication with all other members of your health care team.
A Parkinson’s CARE certified care team who is specifically trained in the needs of those living with PD.
Change in Condition tracking addresses any changes in condition as they happen to prevent further risk or injury.

Living with Parkinson’s Disease can be overwhelming. Having a team of professionals in your home supporting you can help you make huge strides in your quality of life. Reach out to us today to learn more about our Parkinson’s CARE Program or to schedule a cost-free consultation.

Recovering After a Stroke Can be an Uphill Battle. Our CARE Program Supports Your Climb

Every 40 seconds, someone in the US has a stroke. Recovering from a stroke doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Recovering from a stroke can be daunting. Sometimes, one can suffer minimal effects after a stroke. But a lot of the time, a stroke can leave an individual and their family reeling. A stroke can cause paralysis, aphasia, cognitive issues, and trouble with one’s memory. These are just a few things people can struggle with recovering from a stroke. While a stroke can be devastating, the CDC reports that about 80% of strokes are preventable. It’s essential to know the signs and symptoms of a stroke, as well as lifestyle changes you can make to lessen your risk.

A stroke doesn’t just affect the individual who’s had one; recovery from a stroke has a heavy impact on their loved ones as well.

Taking care of a loved one after they’ve suffered a stroke can be overwhelming and daunting. Caring for someone while they recover can mean a loss of routine and normalcy, both in everyday life and in the dynamics of their relationship with the person who had the stroke. Many people find themselves making large lifestyle changes to accommodate the care needs of their loved ones. And studies show that family members caring for a loved one following a stroke experience psychological distress, depressive symptoms, lower quality of life, and lower overall life satisfaction. These detriments can be present for years after their loved one has had a stroke.

We’ve designed our Stroke CARE Program to help individuals and their families as they recover from a stroke.

A Place At Home has developed a Stroke Recovery CARE Program to address the specific care needs of those recovering from a stroke. This program includes:

A personal care plan complete with stroke-specific assessments to address your individual care needs.
Active and ongoing communication with all other members of your health care team.
A specifically trained Stroke Care certified care team.
Change in Condition tracking ensures that your care team addresses any concerns as they happen to prevent further risk or injury.

Recovering from a stroke can feel like an uphill battle. Having a team of professionals in your home supporting your recovery can help you make huge strides in your rehabilitation and quality of life. Reach out to us today to learn more about our Stroke CARE Program or schedule a cost-free consultation.

How New Medicare Advantage Changes Could Affect You

Medicare, in general, is more focused than ever on positive health outcomes, specifically on keeping seniors out of the hospital.

Medicare Advantage plans have been responding this, and to the competitive environment, they face, by adding extra coverage. For the first time, these extras may include basic (non-medical) in-home senior care.

This newly-offered type of care may provide for household support activities for seniors that help them live comfortably and healthily at home. These essential tasks could include light cleaning, cooking, dishwashing, grooming and more. Home safety equipment may also be included. For more detail and background, read on.

About Medicare Advantage

Also called Medicare Part C, the Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies and replace Medicare Parts A (hospital), B (doctors, office visits and tests) and sometimes D (drug coverage). You may have a choice of several Medicare Advantage plans, depending upon where you live. If you choose an Advantage plan, you must follow their rules and must typically use their network of doctors.

The private Medicare Advantage insurance plans must cover the same medical care that traditional Medicare does, but may charge more (or less) for specific services. These plans may also impose extra rules, such as requiring a referral to see a specialist, etc. (Referrals are not currently required in traditional Medicare.) Medicare Advantage may charge an additional monthly premium, over and above your regular Medicare premium ($135 monthly in 2019), and some Advantage HMOs charge no extra premium.

New Medicare Advantage Offerings

For a few years now, Medicare Advantage has been touting “extra benefits” like vision care (optometry and prescription eyeglasses), dental cleanings, hearing aids and/or free gym memberships. They hoped the extras would encourage people to switch from traditional Medicare, to Medicare Advantage. Recently, the private insurers that offer Medicare Advantage plans have been given permission to add even more extras, which vary from one plan and company to another.

What’s so interesting for seniors who need home caregivers is this: In the past, seniors could only get limited, skilled medical in-home care from traditional Medicare or Medicare Advantage. They would not cover any “non-skilled” in-home care that seniors need. Now, these items may be included. Examples of new in-home supportive services Medicare Advantage may cover:

At-home custodial care (grooming, meal preparation, bathing, and more)
Transportation to medical appointments
Meal delivery
Shower grab bars and other home safety devices
Caregiver support
Adult daycare
And more

Keep in mind that coverage varies significantly by plan, so be sure to read the details before choosing among the Medicare Advantage plans, or deciding to stick with traditional Medicare.

Study Coverage Details and Rules Carefully

This extra at-home coverage is welcome news for seniors and their family caregivers. It’s very important to be aware, however, that different plans will have different specifics, varying rules about accessing these benefits, and limits on the maximum number of home visits allowed. Medicare’s guide to Advantage Plans may help you.

By adding this extra coverage, Medicare Advantage is acknowledging what we have known for so long—that proper in-home care (beyond skilled medical/nursing care) improves long-term health for seniors. This type of care can keep seniors living successfully at home, which saves seniors money and helps the senior to enjoy greater independence, as well as enhanced quality of life. It’s about time, and we hope for even more positive changes in the future.

Spouse Caregiver Burnout: Signs of Stress and How to Cope

Spouse-Caregiver Burnout: Signs of Stress and How to Cope

Caring for your partner is an act of love, but it’s vital to protect your well-being. Discover practical strategies and resources to manage stress and prioritize your health while providing the care your spouse needs. Recognize the warning signs of spouse-caregiver burnout — and find the support you need.

Spouses are stepping up to provide essential care and it’s a heavy load. There are more than 5.7 million spouses who provide care for their partner in the U.S., and nearly half of them are over the age of 65. Spousal caregiving is often medically intensive and can last for years. At least 29% of spousal caregivers have been providing care for more than five years and 66% receive no outside help, according to the Well Spouse Association.

Common Struggles of Spouse Caregivers

The burden of spousal caregiving is hard work, and it can take a physical, emotional, and financial toll.

Physical: Caregiving often involves physically demanding tasks such as lifting, bathing, or assisting with mobility. Over time, this can lead to fatigue and even physical injuries. The chronic stress caregivers face increases the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and a weakened immune system, making them more susceptible to illness.
Mental: Even when you are committed to your significant other caregiving can cause your mental health to take a nosedive. It often leads to feelings of guilt, grief, and resentment.
Financial: Caregivers also take a financial hit, as many of them are forced to reduce work hours or quit their jobs to provide care.

Signs of Caregiver Stress

While it’s only natural to suffer from spouse-caregiver burnout when you’re under stress for an extended time or simply worried about your companion, you need to stay on top of any symptoms to prevent severe burnout. Recognizing these signs early can put you on a path to a brighter future:

Physical signs: fatigue, headaches, and weakened immune system
Emotional signs: feelings of guilt, resentment, or hopelessness
Behavioral signs: withdrawing from friends and activities or losing patience

How to Alleviate Caregiver Burnout

If you can identify with these symptoms, there are steps you can take to manage stress. Make self-care a priority by taking time to rest, exercise, and eat healthy, well-balanced meals. Joining a support group or spending time with treasured friends can help break up the monotony of caregiving and boost your spirit. Some people find success in implementing mindfulness techniques such as journaling or meditating.

Asking for help and taking time for yourself is not a weakness, it’s a necessity. Professional home care can help share the responsibilities of caring for your loved one, reducing both your physical and emotional strain. In addition to providing specialized care that might exceed your expertise, they can enable you to have more time to take care of your personal needs. Professional care ensures consistent, high-quality support for both you and your loved one.

Senior Care Plan: A Comprehensive Guide on How to Start

Ensuring your loved ones have compassionate and comprehensive care as they age requires an effective senior care plan. Start your care planning journey with our step-by-step guide.

Benefits of a Senior Care Plan

At least 75% of adults age 50-plus want to remain in their homes as they grow older, according to a new study conducted by AARP. Yet, many seniors will need extra services as they age. And many will need to relocate to an assisted living facility or a smaller home that better suits their needs. Although two-thirds of adults would consider downsizing, 73% want to continue to live in their current community.

Having a senior care plan facilitates the well-being of aging individuals and helps give families peace of mind. It gives seniors a voice and enables them to be treated with dignity and respect, improving their quality of life and accommodating their wishes.

A good senior care plan:

Provides direction: A senior’s care plan outlines their specific circumstances, enabling caregivers, family members, and healthcare providers to work as a team.
Plans for the future: A comprehensive care plan for the elderly outlines both current and future needs. It enables families to prepare for transitions, such as moving to an assisted living facility or securing in-home care. Having a plan helps alleviate caregiver stress when change occurs.
Outlines comprehensive care: Caregivers need to focus on the physical, mental, and social needs of their loved ones. A detailed plan covers all the bases, creating a holistic approach to care.
Streamlines financial planning: Caring for a senior can be costly. It’s crucial to have the resources you need to provide care. A care plan will allow you to create a budget and start exploring funding resources, such as long-term care insurance or Medicaid.
Improves safety: A care plan takes steps to identify potential risks, such as fall hazards, and it helps maximize independence.
Offers connections: A care plan can connect seniors and their families to valuable resources, such as home care services, adult day programs, or senior centers, to enrich their lives and foster a better lifestyle.

5 Steps for Developing a Senior Care Plan

Your senior care plan needs to cover daily needs, provide emergency preparation, and outline a communication strategy so nothing falls through the cracks. To create a comprehensive plan, follow these steps:

1. Assess the Senior’s Needs

Start by doing a full assessment. You’ll need to evaluate your senior’s physical, mental, and cognitive health. It’s important to evaluate their social circumstances as well. You’ll need to determine their ability to perform activities of daily living, such as their ability to feed themselves and take care of their personal hygiene. The evaluation also needs to determine their ability to manage their finances, handle meal preparation, and take care of housekeeping.

2. Outline Goals

Take time to set goals to address the senior’s immediate and long-term care needs. Some of the goals might be aging in place, improving health, or providing relief for family caregivers.

3. Identify Support Services

After your senior is thoroughly assessed, you’ll be able to start determining the types of support that would be beneficial. These services can be customized to meet their individual needs. Your senior may need medication management or help with meal preparation and grocery shopping. They may benefit from companion services to prevent loneliness and isolation.

4. Evaluate Finances

It’s important to develop a plan that meets the needs of your senior without causing undue stress on their finances. The median cost of an assisted living facility is $5,511 per month, which may be out of reach for many families. As part of your care plan, you’ll need to conduct a comprehensive financial evaluation to determine how you allocate resources effectively. Creating a budget is an important component of this step.

5. Build a Care Team

The strain of caregiving can be detrimental to a person’s physical health. The isolation that comes with caregiving makes spousal caregivers prone to depression. The stress from caring for a loved one puts caregivers at a higher risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Elderly spousal caregivers have a 63% higher mortality rate than non-caregivers.

To prevent caregiver burnout, make caregiving a team effort. A care plan should identify a care team responsible for providing support. The team needs to include medical professionals, family members, and others, such as home care providers, financial advisors, and pharmacists.
