The Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fourth Edition, of the American Medical Association defines impairment as a medical term referring to any anatomic or functional loss.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities:"Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) offer seniors long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. In return, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. Depending on the contract, the entrance fee may be nonrefundable, refundable on a declining basis over time, partially refundable, or fully re-
fundable. CCRC residents enjoy an independent lifestyle with the knowledge that if they become sick or frail, their needs will continue to be met. Most CCRCs establish minimum requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level, and physical health and mobility. In general, residents are expected to move into the community while they are still independent and able to take care of themselves" ******************************************************
Housing Options:"When different living arrangements are needed someone will be required to sign a number of important legal papers such as: Admissions Contract , Real Estate Settlements, Moving Contract, Power of Attorney documents, Health Directives, DNR (do not resuscitate) orders, and more. If you have an attorney, ask him or her to review all legal documents before moving or signing. If you don't have an attorney, consider joining a legal insurance plan. Document and contract review is but one of the many legal benefits available in nearly all of these plans." ******************************************************
How To Get Help Paying Nursing Home Costs:"Because of the high cost of nursing home care--an average of $2,498 per month in Texas at this writing--most people who go into nursing homes for extended times will sooner or later need help from the Medicaid program to pay the nursing home. In all, about 72% of Texas nursing home residents are qualified for Medicaid, and 94% of Texas nursing homes are certified to participate in the Medicaid program." ****************************************************** Magazines:
