Whether you've been a teacher or a student, the typical pattern of classroom education is familiar: The instructor shares the material and the students listen and learn. The information flows primarily one way. Occasionally, however, under just the right circumstances, a wonderful reversal can occur in which the student becomes the teacher by sharing a moment in their own life that has been reawakened by the topic. These snapshots of personal history can take your breath away. Here are a few of our favorites.For several years, Active Minds has taught a class on the history of the game of baseball. It runs the gamut from Abner Doubleday to Barry Bonds and tells several good stories in between. On a crisp fall day, with the Colorado Rockies in the hunt for post-season play, the instructor was winding up this topic when he noticed one of the attendees seemed to have something to share. With a little encouragement she began, When I was a young girl, I worked as a waitress in a diner in Baltimore. One afternoon, the other waitresses stopped me in the kitchen and asked, Do you know who you're waiting on? I didn't know, so they told me. I served Babe Ruth. And he tipped two dimes and a nickel.One evening, we were providing a class in a retirement community on the nuclear threat posed by North Korea. A gentleman toward the front of the room raised his hand, accompanied by a quick buzz of hushed comments in the back of the room. When the instructor paused to call on him, he began his comment with, Well, when I was working with Oppenheimer on the Manhattan projectAnother afternoon we were presenting a program on the G.I. Bill. A gentleman volunteered that he had been the Captain of the USS New Jersey in World War II. When pressed to tell a story, he at first demurred, then commented, Well, our first voyage out of dry dock, we sank three submarines. The person on his left, mouth open, responded incredulously, You sank three German subs??? To which he replied, with a wry smile, Well, I sure hope they were German!Whether you want to listen, comment, question, or share, lifelong learning programs have much to offer and maybe so do you!Zane Robertson is the President of Active Minds, a Denver based provider of educational programs for seniors.

Read MoreWith the monthly cost of care in a nursing home averaging $8,500 in the Denver and Boulder metropolitan area, one of the greatest challenges faced by elders and their families is how to pay for such care. For many, the Medicaid Program is there to help. To qualify for Medicaid for long-term care, the Medicaid applicant: (1) must need a nursing home or assisted living level of care; (2) have gross monthly income of less than $8,039 (the income of the well spouse is not included in this calculation); and, (3) not have more than $2,000 in "countable assets." "Countable assets" do not include: a home, an automobile, pre-paid burial/funeral plans, small life insurance policies, medical equipment, and most personal property.For married couples, there are some very important protections. First, the well spouse is entitled to keep $1,991 of the couples' income (increased to a maximum of $2,981 if the well spouse has certain additional qualified expenses). Then, in addition to the home, car, personal property and other exempt assets, the well spouse is also permitted to retain roughly $119,000 in countable assets. If a Medicaid applicant has countable assets in excess of the permissible amount ($2,000 if single; $119,000 if married), there are Medicaid planning strategies which can be used to protect your estate. One set of strategies involves converting excess countable assets into exempt assets. For instance, the well spouse might use some of the assets in excess of $119,000 to make improvements to the home, purchase a newer automobile, prepay burial/funeral plans for both spouses, etc.The other set of Medicaid planning strategies involves giving away assets. This only works if it's done just right. There are penalties for giving away assets to create Medicaid eligibility. If done properly, however, a significant portion of a person's assets can often be preserved. Because Medicaid is a very complex and rapidly changing area of law, and this is only a brief summary, individuals considering Medicaid should seek the assistance of a knowledgeable Elder Law attorney prior to acting on any such information. More information can be found on the Vincent, Romeo & Rodriguez, LLC website: www.elderlawcolorado.comEditors Note: Richard Vincent is certified as an Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation.

Read MoreThere are very few times in our lives where we fail to plan for the future. Before we are born our supplies and living arrangements are planned and the joyous event takes place, we are born.. From infancy all our steps are arranged. From there, we continue forward with schooling, coming of age and careers. As we grow, we continue to plan for our futures and eventually retirement. It is in this latter planning where sometimes plans are not as strong as they once were or could have been. Life is unpredictable as we all know and in some cases a health care crisis can change the entire tone of our futures we have planned. I can provide Home and Health Financial Planning before, during and after this crisis to make a difference. Make your appointment today!

Read MoreToday there are more options than ever for residential housing geared toward supporting people in their later years. Making sense of the options requires first determining how much assistance will be needed on a daily basis, as well as the kind of support needed. From there, its a matter of matching up the type of community with those needs. Then, weighing costs, location, and fit can help narrow the options to the perfect one for you or your loved one.Determining the level of support neededA good first step is to make an honest assessment of the amount of assistance needed to perform routine daily activities, or ADLs:Personal hygiene bathing and showeringDressing choosing what to wear and being able to dress and undressEating feeding oneself, not cookingMaintaining continence being able to use a restroom, including getting on and off the toiletTransferring/mobility being able to get out of bed and chairs and walk from one location to anotherFor each ADL, people can vary from needing a little support to full dependency, meaning a care partner is required to do the task for them.After assessing the amount of support needed, youll need to determine which type of community will meet those needs.Independent LivingIf someone can perform activities of daily living on their own, without help, an independent living situation may be the best option. Residents can be part of the social fabric of a vibrant community while maintaining an independent lifestyle and saving on costs.Assisted LivingAssisted living communities will provide non-medical help and some assistance with activities of daily living while encouraging residents to live as independently as possible. Apartment-style living is common in assisted living communities and residents are generally able to get around on their own. Costs for assisted living typically fall between those of independent living residences and facilities that offer skilled nursing. Wheelchair-bound seniors and those who need help with ongoing medical issues may need to consider a skilled nursing community.Skilled NursingThose needing higher levels of care will find skilled nursing communities are better equipped to handle their needs. In addition to assisting with activities of daily living, skilled nursing communities provide around-the-clock support for people who need daily medical care for chronic illnesses. They handle complex medical care and supervision, including:wound careinjectionsIV therapymonitoringphysical, occupational, and speech therapiesStays in skilled nursing communities could be short-term or long-term depending on needs. For example, short-term rehabilitation is common after an injury. During short-term rehab, treatment sessions like physical therapy are employed to achieve the goal of getting the body back in working order.Considering CostsSkilled nursing communities are typically the most expensive of the options discussed as they provide medically intensive care. In assisted living, costs vary by floor plan and according to what services and amenities are included. A variety of monetary sources should be considered as ways to pay for care. Private financing options include long-term care or life insurance policies, reverse mortgages, annuities and trusts.Government aid may be available in some circumstances when qualifications are met. Options to consider include Medicare, Managed Care, Medicaid, and PACE. Visit our FAQ page for more information on financing options.Finding the right fitAn old real estate adage states the three most important things a property should have are location, location, and location. When searching for a community, keep in mind that a good location might mean different things for different people. Does the community offer proximity to family and friends, doctors, parks and community spaces, shopping and restaurants?The best communities offer a range of options that cover changing needs. Is the community designed to offer a continuum of care? Could a resident transition from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing over time? If so, this would alleviate concerns about future needs. The best community doesnt just meet basic needs, it provides a caring atmosphere where one feels at home. Schedule a virtual tour and be sure to do a gut check. Does it feel like just a place to hang a hat or does it embrace the art of fine living at any age? Ensuring a good fit will save the cost and stress of another move.
