Start with the Table of Contents. There you will find the categories in which businesses, agencies and organizations which provide services or products for active aging adults, are listed. If you know the name of a business, look in the Index found at the back of the Guide, which has an alphabetical list of advertisers, including phone numbers.
Categories in the Table of Contents are color coded. You will find the same color on the page tabs inside the Guide that correspond to each category. Various businesses that you might expect to find in each category are listed adjacent to this page.
Once you have identified a business category or a specific company, you can either go directly to the page number listed beside the company name or find the corresponding color coded page tab inside the Guide to see all businesses in that specific category.
If you are looking for non-profit or government resources go to the Resource category (purple coding) in the table of contents.
For articles of interest, see the Articles category in the table of contents.

Many people think ahead to the future with the same single thought – “I’m going to stay in my home forever,” or “I will never go to a nursing home or other alternative type of senior housing.” However, few people ask the question “How accommodating will my home be as I grow older?” The truth is that most homes are designed for healthy, active adults; not for accommodating the needs of aging occupants. However, with the right plan, most homes can become safe and accessible for occupants of any age.
The remodeling of a home can be unnecessarily stressful. When remodeling for accessibility, the question is not only “What do I want?” More importantly, it is “What do I need?” The right approach in the planning stage will help alleviate the potential for costly mistakes and help to insure that you achieve the desired outcome. It is best to take the time up front to fully assess your current needs and to prepare for what you feel your needs will be in the future. Every successful project needs a good blueprint and a good blueprint starts with thoughtful answers to serious questions.
Start by considering the concerns and challenges of today. Vision, hearing, walking, weakness and lack of agility are common issues for an aging adult. Are these problems temporary, on-going or urgent? What does your family history tell you? Do you need assistance or assistive equipment? Do you want to stay in your own home permanently or do you see a time when you will feel happier and more secure in an Assisted Living Facility or Group Home? Are doorways and hallways wide enough for a wheelchair or walker? Are interior stairs becoming obstacles?
Aging In PlaceHow To Age ComfortablyIn Your Home
By Eric Hansen, HealthLink Construction

What changes or modifications do you see as necessary now or in the future in order to stay in your own home?
These are tough questions and are all too often put off until there has been a sudden, life changing event which brings them to the center of attention and requiring immediate action. However, like a good insurance policy, a little planning now will pay huge dividends in the future. One of the most common safety improvement areas in the home is the bathroom. If you are planning a remodel, have the contractor add blocking in the walls to install grab bars in the future. If you need grab bars now and don’t have blocking to screw into, use a fastener designed specifically for installing grab bars without blocking such as those made by WingIt Innovations.
A simple, affordable, and often overlooked solution in the bathroom is a bathtub modification. The TubcuT™ modification converts a bathtub to a walk-in shower in less than a day and at a fraction of the cost involved with replacing a bathtub with a traditional walk-in shower.
Another common limitation in most homes is the width of bathroom
and closet doors. These are the narrowest doors in the home and frequently will not accommodate wheelchairs. Some doors, especially in master bathrooms with toilets having their own small closet-like space, are so narrow that they are difficult even for walkers. If you are planning for ultimately having in-home healthcare assistance, these doors may need to be widened to accommodate wheel chairs, walkers, or to create an environment that is accessible for the occupant and a caregiver providing assistance.
These are just a few of the simple, yet specialized modifications that can be done in the home to make it a safer, more accessible place to age gracefully. When you are ready to make home modifications such as grab bars, walk-in showers, leaning rails, or wheel chair ramps, be sure to use a contractor who understands your needs and has the knowledge and experience to do the job right. The National Association of Home Builders, in association with AARP has created a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) designation. CAPS certified contractors can be found at www.NAHB.org.
Staying in your home has many benefits – the greatest of which is maintaining your independence – and the best way to assure that independence is to start early. Basic home modifications are generally not a great expense and, with a plan in place, your future needs can be addressed before they become urgent.

Maintaining a sense of independence is critical, which means that assistance may be required due to recovering from an injury, long-term disability or just normal aging. With so many different forms of mobility equipment to choose from, it can sometimes be overwhelming to make the right selection. Before choosing the right equipment it is always a great idea to “try it before you buy it.”
Consider the following when choosing: Canes are a great option for those seeking more balance as they walk. Individuals that have very little problem with moving around are the best candidates for a cane. A standard cane, which has a single tip, can be used by those who need just a little extra balance. Those that need to bear their full weight can opt for a quad cane which has four tips and will give more balance during movement. For those seeking a little more from their canes, a specialty cane, such as one with a seat attached might be a consideration. Walkers are great for those who are still mobile, but have a higher risk of falling while walking. A standard walker without wheels is the most stable option. However, for a smoother form of movement, a walker with wheels can get one from point A to point B faster. Manual wheelchairs are great for individuals that have very limited overall mobility. This type of equipment comes in standard weight or light weight for those unable to lift and transport heavy equipment. Power wheelchairs are ideal for people that have very limited mobility and are unable to self-propel in a manual wheelchair. For those that need something more customized for specific disabilities such as a quadriplegia, a custom wheelchair may be the best solution. Be sure to ask what options are available.
Mobility is the ultimate necessity for independence. Though choosing the right form of mobility equipment may seem challenging and overwhelming, with the proper evaluation of needs and the help of a healthcare provider, independence is only a simple selection way!

When a patient goes for a hearing test they can expect to be seated in a special soundproof room. The audiologist will evaluate how they hear a series of sounds as well as
their ability to understand speech. If the patient has a hearing loss, the audiologist will demonstrate some hearing devices
programmed specifically for the patient’s hearing loss. This will allow the patient to hear with a hearing device programmed for their needs. Most digital hearing aids can range from $1200-3200 each. Hearing aids are like computers in that the more expensive hearing devices have faster processing capabilities. The more expensive hearing aids are quicker at adjusting so they are better at processing sounds in noisy environments. In the past, hearing aids were simply basic broadband amplifiers with fixed analog circuits. There was not much that audiologists could adjust if patients did not like the sound quality of their hearing aids. New hearing devices have computer chips and are digital circuits. These instruments are programmed specifically for the patient’s hearing loss. They constantly sample the environment and make adjustments as the sounds are processed through the instrument. They automatically increase or decrease the volume of sounds. They decrease background noise while at the same time increase the speech signal, thereby helping patients hear better in difficult listening environments. Because these devices can process sound quickly, patients are not limited to fixed programs or settings to deal with special listening situations such as listening to music or hearing in noisy environments like restaurants. For active adults, new hearing instruments also offer wireless connectivity that allows audio from mobile and landline phones, TV and other entertainment devices to stream directly into the user’s hearing device. Changes in your hearing are usually subtle and may occur gradually so it is often difficult to notice them. Be sure to have your hearing checked at the first sign of hearing loss. Ten years ago, there were fewer options for mild hearing loss, but due to improvements in technology, that is no longer the case. There is no reason for anyone to allow untreated hearing loss to make it difficult to keep up with conversations or to join in everyday activities. With a variety of hearing instruments available today, there is a solution to benefit every type of hearing loss.

Stress Management is a skill for people of all ages because stress is a fact of life. How we manage the stress
we experience will create our quality of life. Stress is a psychos-physiological response to living. It impacts our body, mind and spirit. No matter what age we are, our bodies respond to stress with physiological changes including muscle tension, increased heart rate and rapid breathing. Hormones (including adrenaline and cortisol) are released to prepare our body to meet a threat or challenge. Not all stress is bad – when our body is activated to meet a challenge, it can increase performance. However, if stress is excessive or prolonged it can create adverse health issues. The stress response creates tension in our bodies. Increased tension in our bodies can increase pain, aggravate illnesses and contribute to other illnesses ranging from colds to heart disease and strokes.
Our mind determines what we experience as a threat or challenge. What is threatening or challenging to one person may not be so to another. Our experiences, our temperaments, our coping style all impact what we experience as stress. Stress can impact your mind by affecting memory, concentration and problem-solving skills. It is hard to think straight if you are experiencing a lot of stress. Stress can impact your emotions. It can manifest as anger or anxiety or self doubt. If stress levels are not managed well it can lead to depression and other mental health issues.
During times of stress we may question the meaning and purpose of our lives. It can be an important time to take stock of your values, your priorities and your lifestyle habits. Stress can be the catalyst to begin a deeper spiritual inquiry in our lives.
It’s Never Too Late to Improve the Quality of Your LifeManaging Stress in the Latter Part of LifeBy: Kris Kerlin, LPC-S
�0 www.srgserv.com
As a mature adult there are circumstances in life that are specific to growing older that may be the source of stress in your life. Aging, retirement, changes in living arrangements, illness, changes in independence, death of a spouse or a loved one, caring for a loved one, lack of social support, mobility issues, regret, concern about personal safety and financial concerns can create stress. The good news is that our circumstances do not have to dictate our quality of life. Stress management skills can help you manage your response to circumstances so that you can experience peace on the inside regardless and sometimes, despite, what is happening on the outside of your life.
Here are 7 Stress Management Skills that can be practiced at any age:1. Breathe Deeply and Slowly: One of the first things that happens when we are stressed is that our breathing becomes more rapid. Deep breathing from our diaphragm is a signal to the body to slow down and helps to invoke the relaxation response. Over time many adults adapt a habit of breathing shallow breaths from their chest. Bringing conscious attention to your breathing and noticing whether you are breathing fast or slow, shallow or deep and from your chest or your diaphragm is the beginning of stress management. For diaphragmatic breathing, your stomach should inflate when you breathe in and when you breathe out your stomach pulls in toward your back.
2. Practice an Attitude of Gratitude: Gratitude can turn any external circumstance or event into a secondary matter. When we focus on what we have to be grateful for it helps us shift perspective on the things that are causing stress in our lives. It can also help us to connect with a larger meaning that extends beyond our current circumstances.

3. Focus your thoughts on what you can influence: Spending time thinking about matters outside of our control can be an instant stressor. First, determine whether you can change the thing that is causing you stress. For example, if you are retired and having a difficult time adjusting to life without the structure of work, you can create a routine for yourself that fits your life now. Even if we can’t change the situation, person or event that is happening in our lives, we can, with practice influence how we think about the stressor. None of us can change the fact that we are aging, but we can focus on the rewards of growing older and the unique gifts of this time in our lives. Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and when we change the way we think about something, our feelings about it and our behaviors often change too.
4. Feel your feelings: Feelings are friendly even though they may be uncomfortable. They give us information about how we are doing, how we are impacted by people and events and what is important to us. It can be tempting to avoid feelings if they are uncomfortable or painful. Feelings of loss, sadness, anger, anxiety can feel unwelcome. Stored feelings can cause a chronic stress reaction. Find a way to feel your feelings – journal, talk to someone you trust, cry, create art, do something physical. Express your feelings.
5. Move your Body: Our physical body is designed to move. Movement flushes stress related hormones out of our body and promotes healthy physiological reactions. Ten minutes a day of physical activity or exercise has been shown to lower blood pressure, body mass index and improve overall health. The sooner that you get up and move after you feel stress, the better. It is like cleaning up a spill as soon as it hits the carpet.
6. Let Go and Let God: Things in life happen that are outside our control. Acknowledging that we can’t control everything and finding meaning and purpose beyond ourselves can alleviate stress. Whatever spiritual or religious beliefs, practices and traditions you have, a connection with your spiritual life is good for your health. In addition to the wisdom of the ages, there is now a substantial amount of research that supports the health benefits of spirituality.
7. Laugh: We’ve heard that laughter is the best medicine and it does in fact, help us to relieve stress. Laughter helps us find delight, experience joy and release tension. The first documented case of humor positively affecting disease was in 1964 when Norman Cousins, published “Anatomy of an Illness.” Humor allows us to shift perspective about a situation, expresses emotions and increases respiration and circulation. Tell a joke or read a joke, watch a funny TV show, see the humor in your situation. SRG

It is important to stay active and keep our bodies fit as we age. However, it is often forgotten that this principle applies to our minds as well. As a caregiver, there is a simple way to help your loved one keep their mind
sharp: play games. Research has shown that playing card games and working on puzzles can lead to improved cognitive function in seniors, helping them to retain mental sharpness. Furthermore, “evidence suggests that people who spend long stretches of their days, three hours and more, engrossed in some mental activities like cards may be at reduced risk of developing dementia,” reported the New York Times. Card games, puzzles, and board games all provide older adults with entertainment while giving the brain a mental workout. Games such as concentration can also be used to help prevent memory loss. Research suggests that challenging the mind keeps brain cells healthy and therefore less prone to damage, reported CBS News. Socialization is another key benefit games offer seniors. Engaging your loved one in a round of cribbage or helping him or her with a jigsaw puzzle is great way to spend time together, while also stimulating the mind. Organize a weekly or monthly game night, and try classic games such as bridge, cribbage, backgammon, rummy, or Scrabble. Seniors can also exercise their minds alone with crossword puzzles, word searches, Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles, or by playing solitaire. As the old adage goes – use it or lose it. Help your loved one stay mentally sharp – and get ahead of the game yourself – with something as simple as a game of cards.

What is the best choice?
Senior Housing
It can be hard deciding when it’s time to explore a new living situation for a loved one. When everyday tasks such as cooking or maintaining a house appear to be burdensome, or signs of loneliness become prevalent, it may be
time to consider other options. So, where do you go from here?
Consider hiring a geriatric care manager (GCM) who is experienced in the different levels of senior care and can assist you with choosing the right one matched to your specific needs. They are usually familiar with local options including their associated costs and can be instrumental in helping determine the types of services your loved one may need. Most GCM’s charge a fee so be sure to get references and fee information before hiring one.
If you are prepared to do the research yourself, then the first step is to become educated on what options and choices are available. From there, you can begin to locate places in your area to find one that meets your specific needs and criteria. There are five major housing options to consider: living with a family member or friend, independent retirement communities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, or continued care retirement communities.
Moving in with a family member or friend is an ideal option when it is convenient for both parties. This option allows seniors to remain in a comfortable environment and maintain social relationships. Living with family can often be the most affordable, as well.
Home care providers should also be considered as part of this option. Home care services assist caregivers by providing specialized non-medical care as well as
128 www.srgserv.com
create respite opportunities for caregivers, all of which allow a senior maximum freedom. Not to be confused with home health companies who provide medical home care assistance. Be sure to look for those organizations that provide the type and level of care that is needed.
Independent retirement communities are housing options specifically designed for active aging adults who need no assistance. This can range from apartments to townhouses and single family homes. This housing option gives seniors maximum independence.
Retirement communities generally provide opportunities for socialization, such as a localized clubhouse or game nights. They are ideal for independent seniors looking to retire near people their own age and retain their social lives. However, communities are not a viable option for those who need help with everyday tasks, such as cooking or cleaning.
Assisted living facilities provide a low level of care for those who need additional
help, but still wish to remain independent. Most are residence hall style with single or double rooms. However, housing options vary depending on the location and can range from a single room to an individual apartment, some with kitchens. Help with tasks such as dressing, bathing and cleaning is provided, and additional help is available around the clock. In general, most places provide three meals per day, transportation, 24-hour security, medication management and social activities. Be sure to ask each facility which services they provide.
Assisted living facilities are usually not covered by insurance and most families use private pay options such as personal savings, pensions or social security to cover the costs. Because this option can be expensive, it is important to check your budget and make sure you or your parent can handle the cost long-term.
Skilled nursing homes provide the highest level of care available. Unlike assisted living facilities, they maintain constant care, with a physician or trained nurse on call at all times. Skilled nursing facilities include residence hall style housing, three meals per day, and help with dressing, bathing, eating and managing medications. Most will also provide recreational activities for their residents as well.

This housing option is ideal for those who can no longer live independently and need 24 hour care. Many also offer temporary stay options for those who need constant care after hospitalization and wish to regain their independence post-recovery. Temporary nursing home stays are often covered by Medicare, but long-term or permanent stays are not.
Continued care retirement communities, also known as CCRCs, provide increasing levels of care as needs change. These communities are equipped for all levels of care, from completely independent housing options to constant care options. Seniors can live independently at the outset and transition into minimal care options or nursing care as their needs change. A major benefit is that your loved ones do not have to keep moving as their condition changes. Although cost plays a large factor with this option, it creates a stable environment for retiring and allows seniors to form and maintain social relationships.
Overall, choosing to transition your loved one into a different living environment is a big decision with many factors to consider. It is important to honestly asses your loved one’s financial situation, their current care needs and how those factors may change in the next five to 10 years.

what you need and what the doctor orders.

I am sure you remember the day when turning 100 years old was quite the accomplishment. Today there are over 80,000 Americans who are living as centenarians. That number is only expected to grow exponentially going into the future. Scientists are estimating that those children that are born
today may very well reach their 150th birthday. That doesn’t mean that the last fifty years will be spent in a nursing home. Quite to the contrary, people are expected to be very active and living independently well into their 100s.One of the greatest discoveries of all time was the human genome. It unlocked doors and changed the playing field of the science world forever. Now that we have a road map to the body and are understanding diseases and disorders on a whole new level, we can not only develop treatments, we can prevent them altogether. The pharmaceutical industry can also begin to make drugs that are targeted to groups of individuals, instead of a “one size fits all” approach.Just as it’s hard for us to look back to a time when the average time span was sixty years of age, our children and their children will soon find it hard to believe that people died in their eighties and nineties. Right now we have the technology and medical advancements to detect disease in the earliest stages and slow the aging process down. Each individual has a choice about their health. They can either go along with the “status quo” each day or they can get proactive about their health and take charge of their future. Being proactive will make a significant difference in not only how long you live, but in how well you live out those later years.
Tips for Longevity
KNOW YOUR HEALTH STATUS Start by learning everything there is to know about your family medical history and then move on to your own personal health. When you go in for your yearly physical exam, share your family history first so your physician can understand your person risk factors. Also, don’t settle for a ten minute visit with your healthcare provider, instead ask for a half day.

Don’t expect your health insurance to cover everything you need. This is an investment in you and your health. You owe it to yourself to have a thorough exam, a clear understanding of your current health status, and a road map to making improvements. Lastly, keep a copy of your records so you can compare them year to year.
BE FLEXIBLENo, I am not talking about your busy schedule. Flexibility is the most over-looked component to any exercise routine. Everyone should take some time to stretch each day when they wake up. Furthermore, flexibility exercises should be part of each work out. As we age we become rigid and once we lose flexibility, it’s harder to get it back. Stretching each day will also help prevent injuries by improving muscle tone and balance.
EAT THE RIGHT FOODSThe old adage “you are what you eat” is one of the truest statements of all time. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables each and every day along with protein like lean meat will help your body obtain the nutrients it needs. Super foods such as salmon, sweet potatoes, eggs, and blueberries should always be on your grocery list each week. Avoid processed foods and artificial sweeteners. A good rule of thumb is to avoid ingredients that you can’t pronounce.
GET AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENTThe power of the mind is simply amazing. You should be thinking positive thoughts and keeping a good attitude towards life and in your relationships. Negativity can actually cause you to age by releasing cortisol and other hormones that have negative effects on the body. On the flip side, serotonin which is often referred to as the “happy hormone” is released when you smile and stay positive. Keeping a positive attitude also increases sleep quality which is essential to longevity.
STAY SPIRITUALLY HEALTHYThe World Health Organization (WHO) defines true health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.” While the western world is one of the last to fully appreciate the spiritual component of health, ancient civilizations completely understood the link between spiritual health and physical health. No matter what your religious preference is, studies have shown that prayer and quiet time increase longevity. In today’s busy hustle and bustle world, taking time to enhance your life spiritually will reduce stress and increase overall well-being.
KEEP THE MIND ACTIVEWhile technology has afforded us the luxuries of having information at our fingertips, it may prove to have a negative effect on our memory. Take time to memorize phone numbers, addresses, word spellings, and facts. Our brains need to be exercised just like our bodies. Exercise your brain today to be sure that it is healthy and strong to withstand the coming years.

SUPPORT THE ARTSSupporting the arts is not just a great way to keep your romance alive; it can help you live longer. Listening to music has been proven to alter brain waves. Classical music can increase focus and improve memory, ward off depression, lower blood pressure, and increase immunity. Next time you decide the symphony is too expensive, think about the overall benefit you receive.
In ConclusionWe need to start seeing seventy as young. At that age we still have a third of our life to live. I wish I had a quarter for every time I heard a patient say “Doc, I would have taken better care of myself had I known I would live this long!” If you are in your forties or fifties now, you have a very good chance at becoming a centenarian. You have a choice to make about your future. Do you want to live long and healthy or long and miserable? Take a moment to imagine your 100th birthday – chances are you’ll see it.

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
178 www.srgserv.com
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 . . . . . . . . . . Continued
Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide when contacting our advertisers! 179
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?

The fashionable & functional patient gown— look as good as you want to feel!
We realize how important self-esteem and individuality are to sassy seniors. When put in a medical environment or nursing home it can strip
you of those things. There aren’t many variables that can be changed when in that situation, but you CAN choose to wear your own gown. We have created seven styles in a slew of gorgeous prints for every possible medical use. Whether you are having an operation, going in for a check-
up, or at home care— we have you covered…literally!

Different people have different fears, and often Halloween seems to be a time to talk about them. Children may be afraid of monsters in the closet or creatures lurking beneath the bed. Teenagers may fear not fitting in with the popular crowd. There’s something else that needlessly frightens some people: doing business online with Social Security. The good news is that those fears should be just as unwarranted as being afraid of children in costumes. There are a number of things you can do online at www.socialsecurity.gov, and none of them should send so much as a shiver down your spine. Save yourself a trip to a Social Security office and transact your business from your home or office computer. There’s no need to be afraid to go online because it’s so easy to do business at www.socialsecurity.gov.
Here are just a few of Social Security’s online services you can take advantage of with ease from the convenience of your home or office computer:
• Apply for retirement, disability, or Medicare benefits;• Find out what benefits you might be eligible to receive;• Apply for Extra Help with your Medicare prescription drug costs; • Estimate your future benefits;• Appeal an unfavorable decision on a disability claim; • Change your address; and• Report employee wages.
For a complete list of our online services, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/onlineservices. You also can find forms, publications, answers to frequently asked questions, Social Security news, and much more at www.socialsecurity.gov.
You’ll find our online services are frighteningly easy to use. Don’t be afraid to visit www.socialsecurity.gov

Question: How do i update or correct the name on my social security card?
Answer:to update or correct the name on your social security card:• complete an Application for A social security card (form ss-5), available at www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.pdf; • show us original documents proving your legal name change, identity, and u.s. citizenship (if you have not already established your citizenship with us), or immigration status if you are not a u.s. citizen; and• take or mail your completed application and original documents to your local social security office. Note that we must see originals and cannot use photocopies. We will return any original document you mail to us.learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov.
Question: How do i report a lost social security card?
Answer:You do not have to report a lost social security card. in fact, reporting a lost or stolen card to social security will not prevent misuse of your social security number. You should let us know if someone is using your number to work (call 1-800-772-1213; TTY 1-800-325-0778). if you think someone is using your number, there are several other actions you should take:• contact the federal trade commission online at www.ftc.gov/bcdp/edu/microsites/idtheft or call 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338);• file an online complaint with the internet crime complaint center at www.ic3.gov;

• contact the irs identity Protection specialized unit by calling 1-800-908-4490, Monday – friday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.; and• Monitor your credit report.
Question:i work in retirement. How much can i earn and still collect full social security retirement benefits?
Answer:social security uses the formulas below, depending on your age, to determine how much you can earn before we must reduce your benefit:• if you are younger than full retirement age: $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $2 you earn above the annual limit. for 2011, that limit is $14,160. • in the year you reach your full retirement age: $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $3 you earn above a different limit, but we count only earnings before the month you reach full retirement age. for 2011, this limit is $37,680.• starting with the month you reach full retirement age: you will get your benefits with no limit on your earnings. find out your full retirement age at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm.
Question:Do i have to pay income tax on my social security benefits?
Answer:it depends. fewer than one-third of our current beneficiaries pay income taxes on their benefits. You will have to pay federal income taxes on your benefits if you file an individual federal income tax return and your total income is more than $25,000. if you file a joint return, you will have to pay income taxes if you and your spouse have total income of more than $32,000.
