Support Groups: monthly Alzheimer’s/Dementia meetings
Encore Senior Living provides free support to families at monthly Alzheimer’s/Dementia meetingsFriends and family dealing with the impact of Alzheimer’s disease and related memory impairments gather each month to offer supportSuddenly, from the back of the room, a woman exclaims, “Since there is no cure, what is the role of the doctor?” This statement of frustration is a common occurrence at a recent Alzheimer’s/Dementia Support Group meeting held at a local Encore Senior Living specialized memory care community.Each month, family members and friends gather to ask questions, share experiences, and learn about resources and educational opportunities as they cope with the diagnosis of a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or other related memory impairments.Encore Senior Living communities host free Alzheimer’s/Dementia Support Group Meetings for families. Many times, answers to tough questions asked – and the greatest insights provided – come from other family members who have walked the same path. It becomes clear at each support group meeting that family members really are the experts; including their changing role after a loved one has moved into a care community, and when and how to make a smooth transition for the person with dementia from their old home to their new home. As family members of a person with Alzheimer’s disease, the support group participants spend a considerable amount of time discussing the countless number of transitions they have faced and will continue to face as the disease progresses and impacts their loved ones. At the end of each support group meeting there is a sense of renewed hope and optimism on the part of participants. Members feel like they have both helped someone else and learned in the process.Alzheimer’s/Dementia Support Group Meetings are held at convenient times for families and friends. These meetings are free and open to the public, so please feel free to attend a support group when your schedule permits, or call an office for scheduled times and for additional information or visitwww.encoresl.com.In ArizonaEncore Senior Village at Paradise Valley16621 N. 38th StreetPhoenix, AZ 85032Phone: 602-787-0800Encore Senior Village at Peoria9045 W.

Senior Housing Options
Encore Senior Living: VA Benefits for Families In today’s unpredictable economic environment, one of the most difficult aspects of care decisions for loved ones is the issue of cost. While I am proud that Encore Senior Living offers families financial assurance with our Lifetime Fixed Pricing program and all inclusive pricing options, I know that many families still need additional help. As caregivers, we dedicate ourselves to helping you and your family each and every day. That is why we always want to pass along information we feel could benefit you or your family. The following information is a brief overview of the Veteran’s Administration’s Pension and Aid and Attendance programs. As with all government benefits and medical assistance, the exact guidelines, rules and regulations can be fairly complex. We recommend you consult with a VA specialist with any questions and to make sure you qualify. Approximately 70 million people are eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans or have a family member that is a veteran. The federal VA offers two types of disability benefits: compensation and pension. Both these programs pay monthly benefits to disabled veterans. But whereas compensation is meant to compensate a veteran for a disability that occurred while in service, the pension benefit is a needs-based program. The pension portion is an amount paid to wartime veterans with limited income who are no longer able to work, or are age 65 or older. A pension is also available for a widowed spouse of a veteran. Aid and Attendance is a pension add-on benefit and is available to a veteran, or eligible spouse, if the VA determines the applicant needs in-home, nursing home, or assisted living care and meets the income and asset guidelines of the VA Pension program. Who is eligible for Aid and Attendance • A veteran who has served at least 90 days of active military service, one day of which was during a war time period • Countable family income is below a yearly limit set by law • The veteran or spouse requires the aid of another person in order to perform personal functions required in everyday living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, toileting, adjusting prosthetic devices, or protecting himself/herself from the hazards of his/her daily environment • The veteran or spouse is bedridden, in that his/her disability or disabilities requires that he/she remain in bed apart from any prescribed course of convalescence or treatment • The veteran or spouse is a patient in a nursing home or care community due to mental or physical incapacity To be eligible for Aid and Attendance benefits, you must first file a claim for VA Pension benefits. The process to determine eligibility for VA Pension and Aid and Attendance may take a few months and can be a confusing process. The above information is intended to give you and your family a brief summary of Veteran’s Benefits. If you believe you or your loved one qualifies for benefits, we encourage you to talk to a VA official at a regional office for additional assistance and information. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Here are some website links to the VA about the Pension and Aid and Attendance benefits. You can download VA Pension Form 21-526 at www.vba.va.gov/pubs/ forms/VBA-21-526-ARE.pdf. You can also call this toll-free number for additional information: 1-800-827-1000. ...read more
