COMMUNITY LIVING OPTIONS
The following describes the various options available to individuals who need
supportive services in their place of residence. Choice of a suitable alternative
depends on a number of factors, including lifestyle preferences, the level of
support needed, cost, and the options available in a particular community. Some
of the options are subject to specific government regulation, while others are not.
IN HOME CARE
Supportive home care services can be provided to individuals in their own
home or apartment. Homemaker, chore services, Meals on Wheels, home
health care, attendant care, and transportation are some of the services that
make it possible for people with long term care needs to remain in their homes.
These can be arranged through public social service agencies, purchased from
private agencies, or provided by family and friends. While most services are
unregulated, home health agencies are licensed by the state.
SENIOR AND DISABLED HOUSING/INDEPENDENT
LIVING APARTMENTS
This housing is multi-unit rental housing that is specially designed for, and
marketed to elderly and disabled tenants. Most offer studio and/or one bedroom
apartments and some have a recreation room or other common space for social
gatherings. There may be a manager available to make referrals or organize
events. Tenants may individually arrange for supportive services from outside
providers, as with any in-home care. No license or special regulation is required
for the facility.
RESIDENTIAL CARE APARTMENT COMPLEX (RCAC)
RCACs combine apartment housing with supportive, personal and nursing
services. Residents have their own apartments, including full bath and kitchen
facilities, and retain control over their personal space, care decisions and daily
routines. Services are individually tailored to each resident’s capacities and
preferences and are adjusted as necessary to avoid requiring people to move
when their condition deteriorates with age. Facilities may provide up to 28 hours
of service per resident per week. RCACs are either registered or certified.
Certified facilities will be monitored by the state and eligible to receive Medical
Assistance waiver funding, registered facilities will not.
ADULT FAMILY HOME
An adult family home is a residence where one to four unrelated adults live
and receive meals, supervision, and personal care. Many adult family homes,
especially those with only one or two paying residents, are private homes where
elderly or people with disabilities live with a foster family. Adult family homes
caring for one or two unrelated adults are certified by the county; homes caring
for three or four residents are licensed and regulated by the state.
12
COMMUNITY BASED RESIDENTIAL FACILITY (CBRFS)
Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRFs) are staffed group living
arrangements that provide room, board, supervision and other supportive
services to five or more adult residents. Typically, residents have either a private
or shared sleeping room and share living, dining, and bathroom space with
other residents of the facility. CBRFs are intended for people who cannot live
independently but are neither acutely ill nor need extensive amounts of nursing
care. Facilities vary in size from five residents to over 100. Some are houses,
others are facilities. Some serve a frail elderly population; others serve people
with disabilities, people with Alzheimer’s disease, or mixed group of residents. All
CBRFs must be licensed by the state.
NURSING HOME
A nursing home is a health care facility which provides room, board, and 24 hour
a day care. Residents may be admitted for a short-term respite or recuperative
stays or for long-term care for chronic conditions. Nursing homes are licensed by
the state. Most are also certified for Medicare and Medicaid, which provide public
funds to cover the cost of care for eligible residents.

MEDICARE PART D & MEDICARE
SAVINGS PROGRAMS
MEDICARE PART D
Any person who receives benefits through Medicare (Part A and/or B) is eligible
for the Medicare Part D drug benefit. Medicare Part D is a voluntary program and
if you want the benefit you will need to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan. Please
be aware that if you do not enroll in Medicare Part D or have other “creditable
coverage” you will be subjecting yourself to a permanent premium penalty
if you decide to enroll at a later date. Unlike traditional Medicare coverage,
private insurance companies, whose plans have been approved by the federal
government, offer drug coverage through Medicare Part D. The private insurance
company will administer the drug coverage not the federal government. A Benefit
Specialist can meet with you to discuss your prescription drug coverage needs
and help you enroll in a Medicare Part D plan if you choose to enroll.
MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAMS - EXTRA HELP
Medicare Savings Programs can help Medicare recipients with limited income
and assets pay for their Medicare Part B premium. Some Medicare recipients
may also qualify for Prescription Extra Help to pay for the costs of the monthly
premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments that are related to a
Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. Many people qualify for these potentially
big savings and don’t even know it, so it is worth asking the question.
To find out if you qualify for Prescription Extra Help or the Medicare Savings
Programs, contact the ADRC-CW and ask about these Low-Income Medicare
programs. We can assist with a financial assessment to see if you qualify and
help with the application if you meet the guidelines.

There

are physical and/or emotional reasons they cannot prepare food
The ADRC-CW offers Nutrition Program services to help older adults get good
nutrition. Our meals meet 1/3 of the daily nutritional needs for older adults.

(such as chemo/radiotherapy or dialysis). Both hospice and
palliative care offer a personalized plan of care, delivered
by an interdisciplinary team that incorporates what is most
important to the patient and family in order to achieve the

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES
As a competent adult, you have the right to make your own health care
decisions. However, you could become incapacitated at any time by an accident
or illness or by a debilitating condition that could lead to your loss of ability to
express your wishes about medical treatment. For this reason, it is important
for you to plan in advance for future health care decisions. An advance directive
is a legal document that allows you to make your health care desires and
preferences known.
An advance directive includes written instructions recognized under state law by
which you communicate your health care preferences. There are many different
terms used to describe advance directives. The written advance directives
recognized by Wisconsin law are:
Power of Attorney for Health Care (POAHC)
Declaration to Physicians (known in Wisconsin as Living Will)
Completing either of these documents is voluntary. They are “valid” once they
have been completed, properly witnessed and signed. It is important to know
that you continue to make your own health care decisions as long as you
are able. A Power of Attorney for Health Care becomes effective when two
physicians, or one physician and one psychologist, personally examine you and
sign a certificate that you are “incapacitated” to make health care decisions. A
Living Will becomes effective when you are
either in a “persistent vegetative state” or have a terminal illness with death
imminent. Two physicians must certify that one of these conditions exists.
