Financial Wellness: Wills and Trusts

Elder law attorney Jim Koewler joins Suzanne to talk about what to do when a care facility threatens to discharge or evict a senior loved one. There are specific federal rules that apply when the reason for the discharge is failure to pay:

* No "failure to pay" if Medicaid application is pending

- If not first application, there must be difference from first

* Maybe no "failure to pay" if state hearing or appeal is pending

* Facility may try to discharge despite the Medicaid application

Just the fact that they are prohibited from these discharge threats doesn't mean they won't try. If they succeed because the family doesn't know any better, then they get away with it.

If someone wants to challenge a threat to discharge, make sure you follow all these steps:

* Appeal instructions are in the discharge notice

* Appeal to the appropriate governmental office

** Include a copy of the proposed discharge paperwork in your appeal

** Send a copy of your appeal to the facility

Have the written discharge notice before you began your appeal. You have 30 days, but don't wait to appeal — if you don't appeal soon enough, the facility can go ahead and discharge them. If you win your appeal after that, the facility is first in line to take them back, so long as they have the space.

Possible defenses against the discharge:

* Challenge the reason for discharge

** If discharge is for failure to pay, show there is aa pending application or appeal

* Challenge the choice of their new facility as not appropriate

** If it's your home, for instance, show how it can't meet the loved one's needs

* Challenge failure of proper notice

In a hearing, the nursing home or assisted living facility goes first, because they carry the burden of proof. When it's your turn, you're probably going to have to be specific about why the new place isn't appropriate. The hearing officer will assume because it was on the notice that it's appropriate, unless you say otherwise. Challenging them is not easy. Every family should have an elder law attorney, because all sorts of situations happen.

How to Deal With Threats to Discharge Your Loved One, Part 2

We sign all sorts of paperwork when a senior loved one is admitted to a nursing home, assisted living, or memory care community. But often we don't know what we're signing. Elder law attorney Jim Koewler joins Suzanne to explain exactly what we're signing, and helps us spot legal red flags in the paperwork.

This segment focuses on a care facility's threats to discharge or evict a loved one. These rules apply to communities that take Medicare or Medicaid, regardless of whether your loved one is using those programs. If they're private pay, if there's a problem along the way, these laws may still apply:

Must give 30 days advance notice, unless
Resident's health has improved
Resident hasn't yet been there for 30 days
Health or Safety Emergency to anyone in the facility
Medical Emergency for Resident (Hospitalization)

Must still give notice as early as is practical

The "health or safety emergency" is often used in cases where a resident has improperly touched or threatened others.

The notice of discharge must contain:
Reason for proposed discharge
Proposed date of discharge
Proposed new care facility
Right to a hearing and how to request it
Long-Term Care Ombudsman contact information

The proposed new facility may not be the site where the loved one ends up going, because of circumstances that happen in the ensuing 30 days, but a site must be proposed.

While preparing to discharge:
A new place must be able to meet care needs
New place needs to agree to take the personNot necessarily at time of notice of dischargeRequired at time of actual discharge
Old place must ensure a safe, orderly discharge

Given the threat of discharge to your residence, anyone challenging the discharge should say that your residence is unable to meet care needs, or else the hearing officer can assume whatever is on the notice is appropriate. They may say you have to come and take your loved one, but no, that is not a safe discharge. They have to make transportation arrangements.

The ombudsman should give you this information, but we don't know that they will, or how much they know. Services in the Seattle area such as Sound Generations and Homage Senior Services help seniors with discharges and qualifying for Medicaid. Reach out to your city or county departments of aging but

How to Deal With Threats to Discharge Your Loved One, Part 1

Elder law attorney Jim Koewler joins Suzanne to talk about the admissions paperwork we have to sign when a senior love one comes into a skilled nursing facility. Most nursing home and assisting living agreements now have a spot where they want someone else from the family to sign as "resident representative." Subject to federal rules:

Resident Representative:
Promise to pay from resident's money
Has "Sole" control of the resident's money
"Volunteer" to guarantee payment
Will take in resident if the nursing home discharges the senior loved one

The second point you're signing, that you have "sole" control of the resident's money, is often not the case. You may have the ability to spend mom's money as power of attorney, but you don't have sole control unless you're the guardian of their estate — your mom can still also spend her money. If you sign that, you've already lied. The admission person handing this for you to sign doesn't know the difference, but the nursing home's attorney knows it isn't true and has put it in there anyway.

The third part means if you sign this, you personally will be held accountable to pay bills. The fourth part meets state and federal rules for the nursing home to provide a save environment in case of discharge.

You don't want to agree to these items if you can avoid it. If there's a Medicaid mess-up, then you become responsible for the private pay of your loved one's care. This actually happened to Suzanne, who signed admission papers for her mom even though she wasn't her mom's power of attorney, because someone had to fill out the forms, and by signing, she "volunteered" to cover the bills.

How do you avoid this? Watch for it; cross it out. Or if you don't want to draw attention to that, sign your name with a comma, followed by POA. This means that you're signing this on behalf of the loved one, not as your individual self, which legally protects you from agreeing to consequences that affect you personally.

Suzanne urges anyone who's facing these situations to consult with an elder law attorney so they you can avoid the situation she found herself in.

How to Spot Red Flags in Admission Agreements, Part 3

Elder law attorney Jim Koewler joins Suzanne to talk about the admissions paperwork we have to sign when a senior love one comes into a skilled nursing facility. In part one, they talked about how the agreement should document what services are available that meet your loved one's needs. This segment focuses on aspects of the agreement that are subject to federal rules.

Under CMS rules, a place that takes Medicare and Medicaid:
Can't demand giving up right to Medicaid, unless the facility doesn't accept Medicaid
Can't demand a waver of personal property loss
Arbitration Agreement: Resident can reject at signing, can rescind up to 40 days after signing

How to Spot Red Flags in Admission Agreements, Part 2

This hour addresses all the paperwork — legal contracts — involved in a loved one's transition to senior living. Sometimes you're electronically signing your name and initialing a few signature blocks on an iPad, but you aren't shown the 50 related pages that are on the document you just signed. You're under the gun in an emergency and need to arrange for a care now, and you just assume you'll sign this, and mom or dad will be taken care of, and everything will be OK. Usually it is. Today we're talking about troublesome clauses that might be in the underlying contracts you were asked to sign with or for your loved one.

Elder law attorney Jim Koewler joins Suzanne to showcase red flags to watch out for. They apply to nursing home, assisted living, and memory care admissions. First off, this agreement must document what services are available that meet your loved one's needs, and they must disclose limitations on service.

How to Spot Red Flags in Admission Agreements, Part 1

Elder law attorney Jim Koewler joins Suzanne to talk about presumptive qualifications for VA Compensation, particularly service during Vietnam, in which veterans are presumed to have been exposed to Agent Orange if certain disabilities have occurred.

At the 6 minute point, Jim talks about services administered through the health side of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the same group that runs the VA hospital. Available services include geriatric evaluation, adult day health care, respite care, and skilled home health care. There are also a number of services available, tied to being in a particular residence. They help support assisted living, residence at adult family homes, and others. To qualify, you have to qualify for VA Compensation or VA Pension, have to have income low enough to qualify, and if you don't qualify for some other government benefits.

Dr. Shawn Weiss joins Suzanne on the Answers for Elders Radio Show to talk about Intellectual Wellness, one of the eight fundamental principles of senior wellness featured in this summer's Vitality Revolution podcast series. We want to stimulate our brains and be life-long learners. You can make small changes, but having a sharp mind takes more than just exercising our brains.

As defined by the University of Colorado, intellectual wellness is "feeling stimulated and engaged with learning and staying open to new ideas and perspectives. It suggests: being a life-long learner, sharing knowledge and experiences, mastering new skills, expanding knowledge, and being curious."

Ten Easy Minutes to Improve Brain Health

We often don't think about our gut health, but there's a gut-brain connection that affects our physical health. Dr. Shawn Weiss joins Suzanne to talk about improving gut health.

Dr. Shawn says, "There's such a gut-brain connection, it all affects your physical health. Your gut has its own ecosystem, called the gut microbiome. Think about this: there's 100 trillion types of bacteria, viruses, fungi, all living in your gut, in this microbiome. And what's funny, there are types of bacteria and organisms that are found nowhere else in the world, only in the human gut. It's getting a lot of attention, I'm so glad now that people are paying attention to it. When I practice my root-cause health, I'm digging deeper into the gut and the root causes of the illnesses and the symptoms we're having. We want to know what is affecting your gut... Poor nutrition, processed food, is going to certainly cause a lot of inflammation in your gut lining. Your junctions in your gut line are supposed to be nice and tight. They're not supposed to be permeable. And so when you're eating a lot of processed food, or things with a lot of toxic things, the junctions will separate and it's called "leaky gut" Well, what happens with that? That stuff gets out into your bloodstream."

Dr. Shawn adds, "I do a 60 days to optimal health program. You're going to have a form to fill out. I'm doing sleep questionnaire, stress questionnaire, and we do gut testing. That's how we start the whole thing. We want to lead you to optimal health by making small changes in all of those areas of optimal wellness. And I consider those stress, sleep, nutrition, gut health, emotional health, and exercise."
