Introduction to Certified Aging in Place Specialist

The Certified Aging-in Place Specialist (CAPS) designation was developed by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), in collaboration with the AARP. This program was developed to provide professional training that would enable them to accommodate the needs of people over the age of 50, as well as the knowledge they would need to modify their homes for aging in place. The program focuses specifically on the customer service skills, technical information and business management training needed to properly serve the needs of older adults. In laymen's terms, a CAPS certified professional has trained on the unique needs of seniors, modifying homes so someone can live there longer as they age and addressing the most common barriers in a home.Choosing a CAPS professional is always the right choice for an aging-in-place remodeling project or new home construction for those seniors building the home they want to age in. These professionals have taken part in a training and certification process through the National Association of Home Builders which prepares them to anticipate and meet the needs of older people. Through the use of universal design principles, CAPS professionals can work with you to create a safe, comfortable and more independent life in your home; both now and for the future. But, it doesn't stop with addressing design. CAPS professionals are trained in common remodeling projects and costs, accessibility issues, product recommendations, codes and standards, and the process and resources needed to provide a complete aging in place solution. When you use the services of a Certified Aging in Place Specialist, you can rest assured that this person has been reliably instructed on how to craft solutions that meet the needs of seniors.To find a Certified Aging in Place Specialist in your area call 1-800-368-5242 or the Grand Junction HBA office at 245-0253.Editors Note: This article was submitted by Randy DiDonato, owner of Tile Meister and a CAPS Professional.

Lifelong Vitality: Senior Organizations Focused on Health

As our society continues to age, the spotlight on senior well-being becomes increasingly crucial. Ensuring a vibrant and fulfilling life for our elderly population involves the dedicated efforts of organizations focused on senior health. In this blog, we explore the concept of "Lifelong Vitality" and delve into the impactful work of senior organizations committed to promoting health and wellness throughout the golden years.The Essence of Lifelong VitalityLifelong Vitality encapsulates the idea that aging should not be synonymous with decline but should rather embody a continuous journey of health, joy, and fulfillment. It emphasizes the importance of fostering physical, mental, and social well-being across all stages of life. Senior organizations championing this cause understand that a holistic approach is essential, addressing not only medical needs but also the emotional, social, and recreational aspects of a senior's life.Senior Organizations in ActionThese health-focused organizations operate as pillars of support for the aging population. From community centers and senior living facilities to non-profit groups and healthcare providers specializing in geriatrics, they work collaboratively to create an ecosystem that promotes lifelong vitality. Here's how:1. Tailored Healthcare Services:Health-focused organizations recognize the unique healthcare needs of seniors. They offer specialized services such as preventive care, chronic disease management, and rehabilitation. These organizations ensure that medical professionals are well-versed in geriatric care, providing comprehensive and personalized attention to seniors.2. Holistic Wellness Programs:Beyond medical care, senior organizations curate a range of wellness programs. These may include fitness classes, mental health workshops, and social activities that foster a sense of community. By addressing physical, mental, and social aspects of health, these programs contribute to the overall well-being of seniors, promoting a lifestyle of vitality.3. Community Engagement Initiatives:Building a sense of community is a cornerstone of lifelong vitality. Senior organizations actively engage in community initiatives, fostering connections among seniors. Social events, support groups, and volunteer opportunities create a supportive network, combating isolation and contributing to a positive and active senior lifestyle.4. Education and Empowerment:Health-focused organizations empower seniors through education. Informative sessions on nutrition, healthy living, and disease prevention equip seniors with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health. This emphasis on education fosters a proactive approach to well-being.

Long-term Care Medicaid vs Insurance: What's the Difference?

5 Minute ReadUnderstanding Long-Term Care Medicaid and InsuranceThe #1 cause for people filing for bankruptcy due to medical bills. A new study from academic researchers found that 66.5 percent of all bankruptcies were tied to medical issues. Therefore, the cost of long-term care is often a major concern for families. When it comes to managing the costs associated with long-term care, there are 2 primary options available to individuals and families.Long-term Care MedicaidLong-term Care Insurance Before deciding which option is the best fit, its important to understand the differences between these two types of coverage. Read on to learn more about understanding Long-term Care Medicaid and Insurance.Long-term Care MedicaidLong-term care Medicaid is a government program that provides medical and related services for people who meet certain income and resource requirements. This program is jointly funded by state and federal governments, so the details can vary from state to state. In general, eligibility requirements include being over 65 years old, blind or disabled and needing help with more than 2 of the activities of daily living. (Activities of daily living examples getting dressed, bathing, cooking, and more.) In some cases, individuals may be eligible for Long-term Care Medicaid even if their income and resources exceed the eligibility limits. Long-term Care InsuranceIn contrast to Long-term Care Medicaid, Long-term care insurance is an individual policy that you purchase from an insurance company. This type of coverage pays for custodial services such as assistance with activities of daily living like bathing and dressing as well as inpatient nursing home stays up to a predetermined amount per day. It can also cover other professional services like adult daycare programs or home health aides. Depending on your policy, you may also be eligible for additional benefits such as mental health treatment or respite services for family members who are providing care at home.Pros and ConsMany people find that they cannot afford the high premiums associated with Long-term Care Insurance, and Medicaid is a great option when it comes to paying for long-term costs.  Preexisting conditions may also hinder an applicants ability to attain a Long-term Care Policy. With a lot of misinformation, many people also find it hard to determine if they are even eligible for Medicaid.                                                                                                                                     Deciding which type of coverageLong-term Medicaid vs Insuranceis right for your situation can be difficult because of their complexities. Both options have their pros and cons but understanding them both can help guide you toward making an informed choice about how best to manage the costs associated with long-term care. Need to determine if you are eligible for Medicaid? Meet with Stacy Osborne, a Medicaid Certified Planner. In 1 hour, you will walk away with a Long-term Care plan in place at no charge.  Stacy Osborne, MBA, CMP   Beneficent CEO  719.645.8350
