  Veterans Aid and Attendance
  
  The Aid and Attendance (A&A) Pension provides benefits for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in eating, bathing, dressing and undressing or taking care of the needs of nature. It also includes individuals who are blind or a patient in a nursing home because of mental or physical incapacity. Assisted care in an assisting living facility also qualifies.
  
  To qualify for A&A it needs to be established by your physician that you require daily assistance by others to dress, undress, bathe, cook, eat, take on or off prosthetics, leave home, etc. You do not have to require assistance with all these. There simply needs to be adequate medical evidence that you cannot function completely on your own.

  Reverse Mortgages
  
  Established in 1997, National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA) is the national voice for lenders and investors engaged in the reverse mortgage business. NRMLA fulfills several roles, which include educating consumers about the opportunity to use reverse mortgages, training lenders to be sensitive to the needs of older Americans, developing Best Practices and enforcing a Code of Conduct to make sure lenders participating in the program treat seniors respectfully, and promoting reverse mortgages in the media.

  Life Settlements
  
  A Life Settlement can be a “funding bridge” to help people with a life insurance policy who have experienced an urgent need for liquidity but would prefer to not tap into their home or stocks during down economic times or to be rushed into selling dearly held assets during a time of personal crisis.
  
  
  • Liquidate any existing life insurance policy for an amount greater than the “surrender” cash value for individuals 65 or older
  • There are no caps on the amount of money that can be raised through a Life Settlement
  • There are no restrictions on how money raised through a Life Settlement can be spent
  • A Life Settlement is the sale of a policy, not a loan, and has no restrictions or requirements to be paid back
  • A Life Settlement is not a reverse mortgage, not long-term-care insurance and not a government program
  • There are no interest fees, guarantees or liens associated with a Life Settlement
  • There are no upfront fees paid by the policyholder
  Information on Life Settlements can be found on many websites.

For Someone Else

• How do I know that the time is right for my loved one to transition to a senior living facility?
• • Tasks that were once simple are now laborsome
  • Weight loss/lack of appetite
  • Less mobility/trouble getting around
  • The house is unkempt and laundry is piling
  • Difficulty managing their medications
  • Personal appearance and hygiene are lacking
  • Loneliness or need for socialization
  • Lack of interest or motivation
  • No longer able to drive
• How do I talk with my loved one about making this transition? 
• We recommend identifying your loved one’s fears and concerns that they face on a daily basis, some of which you may have already identified as a family. Our senior care professionals are always available to talk to your loved one and to your family about our services.  We will visit in the home, hospital or at our campus when your family is ready to make a decision. We recommend coming to our campus to take a tour as part of your decision-making process.
  
  We enjoy meeting with your loved one to discuss the options available and assist them with the decision to move.  Our staff can also review financial options, as there are several ways to assist with financing long-term care.
  
  A physician may be a resource to review the benefits of moving into a retirement community.  These benefits include medication administration, assistance with activities of daily living, 24-hour security and rehabilitation to name a few. Many people find value from a physician recommendation, lessening the responsibility of the move on the family.
  
  Often, hospital discharge planners begin discussing a short-term rehabilitation stay or long-term care with your loved one and they may invite someone from our campus to visit with you and your loved one to discuss available options.
  
  A bank trust officer, attorney, long-term insurance agent, pastor, or close friend are also people who may provide guidance and insight.
  
  The following may also be helpful when initiating conversation:
  • Discuss their socialization needs with them (e.g. Would you enjoy being able to visit with others when you wanted to, yet still have privacy when you don’t feel like being social?)
  • Plan ahead for the conversation and be prepared with facts and financial information at hand
  • Discuss the benefits of feeling safe and having piece of mind, both for the resident and for their family members
  • Discuss the timeline for moving
  • Ask for feedback and support from your loved one
  • Ask for suggestions from family members
• Does insurance or Medicare cover these costs?
• This is dependent upon variables such as a recent hospital stay, a physician’s recommendation or order, and the clinical services you require.  We are happy to review your insurance policies and explain coverage to you. Please contact a health campus in your area for additional information.
• My parent does not need as much assistance right now but may in the near future. Do you accommodate a wide spectrum of needs at your facility?
• Yes. We provide the following levels of support: Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing Services, Memory Care, Rehabilitation Services, Transitional Care, Adult Day Services/Respite Care, Home Health Services and Hospice Services. Services vary by location so please contact campuses in your area for specific services offered.
• My loved one has Alzheimer’s disease. What services do you have in place to accommodate those with memory challenges?
• We have specially trained caregivers who understand the issues related to memory loss. We design programs that are sensitive to the needs of each individual and provide a host of daily activities designed to stimulate memories.
