Maureen’s
Corner
The Dale Association’s Administrative Office and
Outreach Staff are moving! We have been in the
Bewley Building, temporarily, since the mid 1990’s
and are finally able to realize our long term goal of
being located in our own facility and near our program building.
Outreach staff who were located in 9 Ontario Street
are also moving. A majority of the staff will be relocated to 20 Lock Street – that is the building adjacent
to our parking lot.
Debbie Babcock, my assistant and volunteer coordinator, and I will be located in the Centre at 33 Ontario
Street. Our offices are near the front door and information desk. We are both excited to be located inside
the Centre and look forward to seeing you, our members and clients, on a more regular basis.
This is a very exciting time for The Dale Association
- it has always been our vision to house program staff
and administrative staff near each other. While the
change will be invisible to most, it allows us to be
operationally and financially more efficient – thus
making it better for our program areas in the long
run. The move will be complete on September 5th.
After a couple of weeks to get settled, it’s back to
business as usual.
The following programs have joined the existing programs at 33 Ontario Street:
Office of the President/CEO and Executive Assistant
Volunteer Coordinator
Vision and Hearing Program
Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program
Healthcare Navigator
Peer Specialist

Senior
Advocate
DALE Senior Advocate /Counselor
Our Senior Counselor assists seniors to live with dignity, respect and self-determination. This program is free
of charge and made possible by the Niagara County
Office for the Aging.
I get a lot of repeat questions from our members and
thought it would be beneficial to start a column, to not
only address these questions but to give members a place
to ask questions anonymously. Feel free to ask questions
about Medicare, Medicaid, HEAP/SNAP, housing senior living, companionship or aging in general. All questions will be answered; however, but not all questions
will be published.
As many of you know, I am moving on to another
opportunity, but my heart will always be with all of you
here at The Dale Association. So, I went through my
archives and chose a letter that would be the best to leave
on….
Dear Beth (Senior Counselor),
My grandfather was very active, but since my grandmother passed he doesn’t leave the house, meet people,
etc. He’s willing but I find it hard to find things for him
to do, can you help?
Nancy W. Town of Lockport
Dear Nancy,
Your grandfather seems great but it sounds like he is still
grieving. It is wonderful that you care so much. It is
important to try to get him out of his home as often as
you can, isolation is not good for him. Playing cards or
bingo, fishing, working on the car or garden, taking a
class; like chair exercises or even just sitting outside and
talking to a neighbor, it doesn’t matter as long as he gets
out. It is important to keep learning. Learning more
about the computer, cell phones, gardening, or anything
of interest is great. Never let the brain be idle. When you
keep your mind active, you help keep it healthy. Many
colleges, such as NCCC allow Senior Citizens the ability to audit classes for free. The Dale Association has
great classes for low cost too. Both of these options, will
keep his mind from being idle, and will allow him to
meet new people. Remember, men of his generation
were taught not to cry, so you may need to remind him
that tears happen and that’s okay. I was always taught
“Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is
with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you
are alive.”
Finally, if he needs help, it’s ok to ask. There are grief
support groups (and caregiver support groups for you if
needed) and other great resources at The Dale
Association, The Office of Aging, and on 211.org website. Good Luck, and he is lucky to have you.
Beth, (Senior Counselor)
…and a final note…. I hope these “Dear Beth” Columns
have been helpful, because you all taught me so much
over the last five years…. patients, kindness, and I have
learned so much from YOUR history that you so kindly
shared. The last five years have been a blessing… and I
thank you!--Beth

Viewpoints
Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care center
The Odd Fellow Fraternal Organization originated in England
in the Eighteenth Century. The sole purpose of the organization was to help the needy with charity, and caring as their
main concern. They became known as the “Three Links”
Society, their motto being: “Friendship, Love & Truth”.
The Rebekahs, a Sisterhood of the Odd Fellows was formed
to assist their Brother Odd Fellows.
In the spirit of caring and charity, the Odd Fellows built &
maintained Homes all over the United States to care for
orphans, wives of the Odd Fellows, the Rebekah sisters and
their aged and infirmed members.
In Lockport the original home was built in 1894. With the
inception of NY State Laws and their strict rules and regulations the old home was replaced with our existing facility in
1975.
Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center
is a 126 Skilled Nursing Facility located at 104 Old Niagara
Rd. Odd Fellows offers, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, respite
care and Rebekah’s Pathway – A Hospice Unit.
Our Subacute Rehabilitation program is designed with one
mission – to help you recover, strengthen and ultimately
return home after a scheduled surgery or an unplanned hospitalization. Our Physical and Occupational Therapists will
develop a program at your pace and exercised tailored to your
individualized needs. We will send you home with the confidence you need along with follow up services for your continued recovery.
The Skilled Nursing units at our facility are headed by a
physician and comprised of a professional team of nurses,
rehabilitation staff, a dietician, social workers and activities
staff all trained in geriatric care. Caregivers work together
with other staff members and family members to ensure the
highest quality of care and to preserve the highest level of
independence for our residents. We encourage families to join
their loved ones during meals, as they participate in the activities, or simply spend time reminiscing.
Odd Fellows continues with some exciting changes. Our
20
www.daleassociation.com
focus for 2014 – 2015 is to grow with culture change. We are
promoting close relationships with our residents and families,
changing our duties to support and empower all staff to
respond to the resident’s needs and desires. We are creating a
homelike environment, naming our neighborhoods and decorating our facility with Niagara History.
We understand that caring for a loved one may be difficult at
times. Our team is here to assist and provide service when the
need arises. Respite Care provides short-term breaks that can
relieve stress, restore energy and promote balance in life.
Your loved one will enjoy delicious meals, 24-hour nursing
care and the opportunity to participate in our wonderful calendar of activities – all in a safe, pleasant environment.
Odd Fellow & Rebekah and Niagara Hospice are happy to
announce the opening of Rebekah’s Pathway. Hospice
Services are designed to bring comfort to your loved one as
well as peace of mind to the family. The staff members of
Rebekah’s of Rebekah’s Pathway along with Niagara Hospice
want to ensure that the time with us is a comforting and nurturing experience.
Univera Healthcare
Univera Healthcare Earns “Star” Ratings
The CMS Five-Star Rating System was originally
created as a system for beneficiaries to compare
Medicare Advantage Plans. However, after the
Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, the program
was transformed into a way for Medicare Advantage
Plans to receive reimbursement. By focusing their
efforts on improving quality performance, MA plans
could achieve higher star ratings. Higher star ratings
would then translate into bonus revenue for that plan.
CMS requires Medicare Advantage Plans to participate in The Star Program. With the goal of the program being to encourage plans to improve the health,
experience, and overall costs of care for their
Medicare enrollees.
The Star Ratings are currently based on 53 measures
with financial impact. These measures come from a
variety of data sources up to and including the
HEDIS, HOS, CAHPS, CCIP and QIP surveys.
These data sources measure plan quality, access to
care, plan responsiveness and beneficiary satisfaction.
The measures we are currently focusing on for 2013
are as follows:
•
Physical activity
•
Osteoporosis in woman who had a fracture
•
Blood sugar control
•
Blood pressure control
•
Bladder control
•
Reducing falls
•
Hospital readmissions
•
Members who receive HRM (high risk med
ications) when there are safer alternatives
•
Getting information from drug plan
•
Enrollment timeliness
•
Rating of drug plan
•
Review of appeal decisions
The measures are weighted to become the overall star
score. CMS applies a rating system of one through
five stars. Five stars being “excellent” with the highest amount of bonus payment awarded. One star
being “poor” with no bonus payment awarded.
Our current Star Rates are as follows:
•
HMO 4.5
•
PPO 4.5
•
PDP 5
Why we starve for five:
•
CMS encourages beneficiaries to join plans
with a higher star rating
•
CMS discourages beneficiaries to join plans
with a low star rating
•
5 Star Plans can offer a year round election to
enroll
•
Plans with a high star rating receive bonus
revenue
•
Plans with consistently low star ratings can
be subjected to CMS sanctions or even plan termination
CMS updates star measures and rating levels on an
annual basis. It is important for MA plans to understand their current performance and put forth the
strongest effort into improving the measures that they
can have the biggest impact on.
