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.



The Senior Resource Guide has 3 editions that cover a specific area in the greater Houston region so that you can find resources that are close to where you live. To determine which area edition is right for you, see our Where We Are page located across from the Kroger Pharmacy locator page. Each section is identified and color coded in the Table of Contents.

3. LIFESTYLEOur lifestyle section covers local medical facilities & physicians, healthcare products and services, legal & financial as well as lifestyle products & services such as travel & home repair. Each section is color tabbed and can be quickly located in our table of contents.

4. FINAL PLANNINGThis section is intended for those who are looking for end of life resources such as hospice care or funeral homes. Read the article on Hospice – What You Need to Know and then locate one close to you on the SRG Hospice Listings page.

5. RESOURCESOur SRG Information You Can Use pages are packed with local, state and national resources. There are category headings to help you navigate through the many resource listings. Non-profit assistance can be found in this section. If you are looking for senior centers or day care centers, you will find them in this section under SRG Adult Day Care Listings and SRG Senior Center Listings.

From the Publisher

Each year, I always get the overwhelming urge to

make changes. Over the next year you can expect to see the changes we are making to our publication, our website and facebook page. For instance, we updated our table of contents to make them easier to read and locate resources with new color coding and a different layout. Our Lifestyle section is expanding to include suggestions for active aging! On facebook we are posting events for the public. It’s our goal to be the publication of choice for active aging in Texas!

What can we do better? We want to hear from you!

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.

“The culinary-themed mystery genre isn’t new, but DeMers sidesteps the common “cozy” into a darker world heavily influenced by mid-20th century noirs. All the usual suspects turn up in Marfa, beginning with the cynical but softhearted hero exchanging witty repartee with his hulking and spiritually inclined Native American sidekick in charge of firepower. There’s the beauteous but duplicitous homegirl making it big in Hollywood, the bent cop, the smarmy L.A. lawyer, a pair of buttoned-up FBI agents, the mysterious drug kingpin, and his heinous henchmen.”– MM Pack, Austin Chronicle

his is the perfect

time to review your finances and

determine what you can do now to live a more comfortable

retirement. While many retirees have taken the proper steps to build wealth for their golden years, that simply

isn’t enough. In order to make that wealth go the distance, you must work to preserve your assets by: investing based on your risk tolerance; protecting your investments from unnecessary fees; minimizing your tax

liabilities; and creating an income plan to ensure your money is properly structured to last as long as you do.

In order to help your money go the distance in retirement, start off on the right track by considering the following three retirement resolutions.

Resolution #1: Invest based on your risk tolerance and reduce your investment fees. Take a moment to gain a better understanding of your risk tolerance, and then

make changes (if needed) to invest accordingly. A single market downtown could cause a portfolio to lose significant

value, and as a result, years of financial security.

Depending on your personal financial situation, the market may not necessarily be the best place for your money, especially if you can’t afford to lose those investment dollars. If that’s the case, consider more conservative investment vehicles like some intermediate term bonds, guaranteed insurance contracts such as a fixed annuity or Exchange Traded REITS. But if you can afford to invest in the market and are comfortable with the risks involved, you can still work to preserve your accounts from unnecessary fees and expenses. This year and every year, make sure you review each of your brokerage accounts to see what fees, charges and other expenses you are currently paying. If you feel you are paying too much, look for lower priced alternatives such as mutual funds sold wholesale versus retain, dividend paying stocks in well performing industries, insurance products or bonds, to name a few options.

Resolution #2: Minimize your taxes to optimize your savings. Start with a little tax planning. This will help to ensure that you are maximizing your wealth by not overpaying on your tax liabilities to the IRS. One strategy to consider using is to review your annual deductions and make sure you are taking advantage of all the deductions you are qualified to receive. Some commonly overlooked deductions include: accounting fees for tax preparation services and IRS audits; appraisal fees for charitable donations; investment advisory fees; long-term care insurance premiums and more! Also, some investments are more tax advantageous than others as well. If you’re looking to reduce your tax liabilities, consult your financial professional to see if you could benefit from tax-deferred investments or if they can help you reduce taxable events within your investment portfolio.

Resolution #3: Establish or review your income plan. If you are retired, chances are good that you’re aware of your retirement income sources. Typical retirement fixed income sources include pensions, Social Security or required minimum distributions from your retirement savings plan (if you’re age 70 ½ or older). Other more flexible income sources come from savings and investments. The key to making your retirement savings go the distance is to withdraw just what you need to cover living expenses and allow the rest of your money to continue to grow. For example, if you don’t need Social Security in order to afford your current lifestyle, delaying it for a few years can help your future monthly check be much larger. Also, by having a clear idea on your income needs, some of your currently unneeded savings and investments may be placed in tax deferred accounts, allowing you to gain interest on the principle, interest on the interest and interest on the deferred taxes, giving you more money to use later in retirement.

This year, resolve to become financially fit. Be sure to consult a qualified financial professional regarding your personal financial situation and take the steps needed today to gain financial security in 2012 and beyond.

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.

We believe that the home environment is essential to promoting wellness in the patient. Our aim is to help each patient and their family identify and overcome obstacles present in home settings, thereby enabling the patient to receive the highest quality care. Hospitals and nursing homes can provide the highest level of service when acute care is needed, but once acute care is no longer needed, care at home, surrounded by family and friends, is often the best alternative.

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?

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

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.
