<li>Challenges in planning or solving problems (e.g., poor concentration, difficulty paying bills).</li>
<li>Difficulty completing familiar tasks (e.g., getting lost driving near home, inability to use household appliances correctly).</li>
<li>Confusion with place or time (e.g., forgetting of important dates).</li>
<li>Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships (e.g., may not recognize one's self in the mirror).</li>
<li>New problems with words in speaking or writing (e.g., difficulty keeping up with conversation, trouble with word finding).</li>
<li>Decreased or poor judgment (e.g., a noticeable decrease in grooming, poor spending habits).</li>
<li>Withdrawal from work/social activities (e.g., stop usual hobbies, social avoidance).</li>
<li>Changes in mood and personality (e.g., easily confused, new sense of paranoia).</li>
</ul></div><div>While there is no cure, lifestyle changes (e.g., memory aids) and medication (e.g., anticholinesterases and NMDA-receptor antagonists) can help combat Alzheimer's symptoms.</div><div><b><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">In-home non-medical assistance</span></div><div>Services are provided a few hours per week, including companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, assistance with personal care, transportation to medical appointments.<br />
<br />
<em>Home health services</em><br />
Services include short-term physical, occupational, and speech therapy; nursing services; and medical social work.</div><div><br />
<em>Asssisted living</em><br />
Apartment or condo living within a planned community that may include meals, laundry services, transport, or medication management.</div><div><br />
<strong>Short-term care</strong><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Respite care</span><br />
Temporary residential care for patients that provides a period of relief for their permanent caregivers.</div><div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Skilled nursing facility (SNF)</span></div><div>Includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as skilled nursing care (e.g., wound care or IV antibiotic administation) on a short-term basis within the confines of a nursing home.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Short-term rehabilitation (Rehab)</span></div><div>Intensive rehabilitation (e.g.; 3-hr per day) includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy for elders after having experienced a serious cardiovascular, neurologic or orthopedic malady (e.g., stroke, hip fracture, deconditioning).</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Facility hospice</span></div><div>Small residential institution for terminally ill patients that focuses on the patient's well-being rather than a cure. It emphasizes pain management and emotional support. Treatment can extend to family members in the form of bereavement counseling.<br />
<br />
<em>Home hospice</em></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">Like facility hospice</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">, the aim of home-hospice care focuses on the well-being of the patient rather than cure. Hour-to-hour care is provided by family members. Nurses and counselors perform home visits a few times during the week to address changes in the patient's condition. Hospice nurses are available by phone 24-h a day.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Long-term care</span></span></i><b><br />
</b><br />
<i>Nursing home care</i><br />
<i></i>Provides a room or apartment within a large facility. Residents receive assistance with activities-of-daily-living. All meals are catered and activities are scheduled throughout the day to entertain residents.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Residential care homes</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">Provide services similar to assisted living or nursing home facility but in a smaller, intimate setting. Such homes can specialize in particular needs such as diabetes care, dementia, a particular language (like Spanish) or residents with specific religious or cultural backgrounds. </span></span><br />
<br />
<em>Alzheimer's ward</em><br />
<em></em>Skilled nursing facility specializing in the needs of those elderly with dementia. Most wards are locked-down to ensure that residents wander away and put themselves in harm's way.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">PACE: Program of all-inclusive care for the elderly</span><br />
The mission of PACE is to provide elders who qualify for nursing home care requisite services to keep them living within the community. It is an interdisciplinary effort including, but limited to the following:<br />
<div><ul><li>Adult day care: supervision, recreation, personal care, and meals</li>
<li>Therapeutic services: occupational/physical therapy, nutritional counseling, social work</li>
<li>Medical services: Coordination between PCP and specialists</li>
<li>Respite care</li>
<li>Hospital and nursing home treatment when needed</li>
</ul><div>PACE can be thought of as a virtual skilled-nursing facility, but which can serve the needs of patients more quickly. In comparison to non-coordinated care, patients on PACE have significantly less hospitalizations.</div><div><br />
</div><div>To qualify for PACE, a patient must have at least 2 ADLs they need help. Payment can be covered by Medicaid, Medicaid plus Medicare, Medicare plus a copay, or private insurance. The cost for PACE is generally less than a nursing home.<br />

Medicaid is a joint Federal and State program that pays for health care for eligible benificiaries (e.g., disabled, low-income). Acceptance into Medicaid allows a patient to sign up for the NM Managed Care Program (Salud!) and join a Managed Care Organization (MCO). Salud! members receive healthcare services from in-network doctors, pharmacies, and hospitals. Medicaid may also pay the coinsurance, deductibles and premiums for Medicare Part A and Part B.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Medicare</span><br />
<br />
Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for those 65-years and older, receiving Social Security benefits.<br />
<ul><li>Part A: Helps pay for inpatient hospital care, hospice, and skilled nursing facility (SNF) care.</li>
<li>Part B: Helps pay for doctor visits, some home medical care, medical equipment, rehabilitation therapy, laboratory tests, x-rays, mental health, ambulance services, blood, and some preventative services.</li>
<li>Part C: Covers Medicare Advantage Plans that are administered either as a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). Part C is optional and may enable recipients to expand their covered healthcare benefits. </li>
<li>Part D: Helps pay for prescription medications. (Note, most Medicare Advantage Plans also cover prescriptions.)</li>
</ul>(Note: Parts B and D are optional. However, waiting to sign-up for them often results in increased monthly premiums. Medicare does not pay all of one's healthcare costs. Recipients usually pay monthly premiums and co-pays.)<br />
<br />
Medicare can come in multiple configurations, including the original plan (Parts A and B), a Medicare Advantage Plan, or a Private Fee-for Service (PFFS) plan. Note, that the PFFS may cover more items, but the PFFS and not Medicare decides how much a recipient will pay in premiums and co-pays.<br />
<br />
Medicare does not cover all healthcare costs. If a patient has Parts A and B, they may want to invest in Medigap to pay for items and co-pays not covered by Medicare. Medicaid covers most gaps in insurance left by Medicare. Note, that Medicare does not pay for long-term term health care, like nursing homes and home health aides. Such items are covered by Medicaid (when eligible) or long-term health insurance.<br />
<br />
State Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Programs (SHIPs) can answer patients' questions and aid them in choosing a plan that meets their needs.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Medicaid and Medicare Physician Pearls</span><br />
<ul><li>You, as a physician, must personally approve in writing an order recommending a patient be admitted to a facility.</li>
<li>Medicaid will pay for a nursing home only if the patient has been shown to meet eligibility requirements (e.g., low income).</li>
<li>A patient must be in the hospital for 3 midnights before they are eligible for SNF placement.</li>

Such advanced planning also avoids confusion, arguments, and guilt among family members when tough decisions need to be made.</span></div><div><br />
</div></b><b>Living will</b><br />
<div><div>A living will is a document that your patient create to let their family and doctors know :</div><div><ul><li>Who they want to make health care decisions for them when they cannot make them.</li>
<li>The kind of medical treatment they want or do not want.</li>
<li>How comfortable they want to be.</li>
<li>How they want people to treat them.</li>
<li>What they want their loved ones to know.</li>
</ul><div>One recommended format is the <a href="http://www.agingwithdignity.org/five-wishes.php">"Five Wishes,"</a> authored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Note, a living will only needs to be witnessed and notarized.</div><div><br />
</div></div><div><b>Medical power of attorney</b></div><div><b><br />
