Need Long-Term Care? Courtesy
of
Texas Health
and
Human Services
Most of us donโt like to think about long-term care but thereโs a good chance that, sooner or later, weโll need it. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 70 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will need long-term care services at some point in their lives. If you or someone you care about needs long-term care, Texas Health and Human Services can help. The agency offers a wealth of information to connect you to resources, healthcare providers and services that help you live healthier. VISIT the website at hhs.texas.gov. In the menu bar at the top of the website, click on โServicesโ to find information on services for people with medical or physical disabilities, intellectual or developmental disabilities, for older adults, and for caregivers who need a break from their duties. CALL 1-855-937-2372 for information. Although you may not qualify for services, HHS can still steer you in the right direction. The 28 area agencies on aging offer help to Texans age 60 and older, their family members and caregivers to locate and access local services, including benefits counseling, legal assistance, care coordination, caregiver support services, in-home support and the ombudsman program. DIAL 2-1-1 Texas, a program operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, connects Texans with the services they need. Accurate, well-organized and easy-to-find information from more than 60,000 state and local health and human services programs is available by phone and online. For more information, dial 2-1-1 or visit 211texas.org.

DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE
Care Transitions When it comes to long-term care, people often use more than one solution over time. As people switch from one type of care to another, there is a transition period. A care transition may occur when someone leaves the hospital and needs support to heal at home after theyโve been discharged from the hospital, or it might happen when someone who is receiving in-home care decides to move into a supportive community, such as assisted living or senior housing. The goal is to avoid a gap in care for the individual as they pivot from care type. When someone leaves the hospital or a rehab facility for home, their doctor or nurse canโt go with them and a family or professional caregiver might be needed as they continue to heal at home. For example, someone might need help with using the bathroom, taking new medications, or going back to see the doctor for follow-up appointments. An even longer and different type of transition may occur when someone decides to move from their current residence to a new oneโwhether that is from a stand-alone home into a senior housing apartment, assisted living facility, or in with family across town or another state. A caregiverโwhether a family member or a professionally-trained oneโcan help to make these types of transitions smooth. If they are transitioning to an assisted living facility, a caregiver can inquire about opportunities to join in meals and activities prior to moving in. This type of engagement can help the individual feel more relaxed about their new surroundings and making a big change. When making changes in long-term care options, aim for a continuity of care during the transition so risks for setbacks are minimized and chances for success are increased.

DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE
Home Care vs Home Health Care How can I determine if home care is necessary? When self-care at home becomes difficult and/or family caregivers are not available to assist, home care may be the answer. Home care often relieves family members of basic caregiving functions and makes it possible to spend quality time, rather than the functional caregiving time. Home care is often easier and faster than moving to an institutional care setting and allows the senior to stay at home in familiar surroundings. What is home health care? When the need is for more than home and personal care, a home health care agency may be required. Home health care provides skilled medical services (such as administration and adjustment of medication levels, monitoring and dressing of wounds, etc.) in the home by trained medical personnel. Home health care is always ordered and supervised by a physician. What is home care? Simply put, home care is non-medical, personal assistance provided in the home. Home care may include help with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. It may include a wide range of services: taking and recording vital signs, assistance in the bathroom, light housekeeping, meal preparation, companionship, grocery shopping and pharmacy errands, home safety supervision, medication reminders, bill-paying, laundry and transportation. Will my insurance cover the costs? Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances are sources of payment for receiving home and home health care. Home Healthcare services are typically medically necessary. They are paid for by Medicare or other health insurance, and have been ordered by a physician. Private duty home care services are typically paid for privately, or using long-term care insurance, reverse mortgage proceeds, or Veterans aid and attendance pension benefits, or some combination of any of these programs.

Battling with Caregiver Guilt - Let Respite Care be Your Shield As caregivers, it is our inclination to drop nearly everything on our own agenda to be available to a loved one in need, oftentimes foregoing attention to our own health status. However, contrary to what we believe will be the most beneficial use of time amid the urgent needs of our loved one, our long-term practice of self-sacrifice can consequently produce compounding health issues such as sleep deprivation or poor eating habits. Irritability from lack of sleep and poor nutrition may interfere with the patience our loved one needs most from us. Fatigue may beat at our spirit when our loved one needs our strength to help them get through their time of fear. Anxiety may paralyze us from making confident decisions in time of our loved oneโs uncertainties. A gamut of insinuating emotions can thus incite a battle against our undertaking in caregiving. As health education professional Eleanor Brownn said, โRest and self care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.โ Realize you may need to ask for helpโperhaps to act as a shield to allow a moment of rejuvenation. But is the guilt of โhomingโ your loved one causing you to hesitate in seeking help? Respite careโshort-term hourly, daily or weekly staysโmay be your answer. It is when we understand that others are there to help us through our lifeโs journey, we realize asking for help is a sign of strength.

ADVANCED HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY For Less Than $200
โI was amazed! Sounds I hadnโt heard in years came back to me!โ โ Don W., Sherman, TX
How can a hearing aid that costs less than $200 be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,250 or more? The answer: Although tremendous strides have been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now... MDHearingAidยฎ uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price. Over 300,000 satisfied MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registered hearing aids donโt have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you donโt need to spend thousands for a hearing aid. MDHearingAid is a medical-grade hearing aid offering sophistication and high performance, and works right out of the box with no time-consuming โadjustmentโ appointments. You can contact a licensed hearing specialist conveniently online or by phone โ even after your purchase at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. Now that you know...why pay more?
Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Alzheimerโs and Dementia? A study by the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimerโs and dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that an intervention โ such as a hearing aid โ could delay or prevent this by improving hearing!

When exploring a potential therapist or psychiatrist, inquiring about their approach to treatment can be helpful in determining if they are a good fit. For some, a medication-based treatment through a psychiatrist or other qualified medical professional might be best, whereas a combination of medication and therapy or just therapy on its own might be more appropriate for others. If seeking traditional talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy, or counseling, there are a number of possibilities, including clinical or counseling psychologists, social workers, counselors, or family therapists. The terms therapist and counselor are often used interchangeably and sometimes highlight the level of education or credentialing.
TREAT & PREVENT: Mental Health
What Type of Mental Health Professional is the Right Fit?
Psychotherapy might not work for everyone and alternative methods including animal-assisted psychotherapy or somatic therapy might be healing options to consider. Another alternative is e-therapy via video conferencing or through services on an appโsuch as Talkspace which essentially puts a licensed therapist in your pocket. Psychotherapy versus Psychological Counseling Counseling is often more short-term than therapy and focuses on specific issuesโitโs designed to help a person address a particular problem, such as stress management. The focus may be on problem solving or on learning specific techniques for coping. Psychotherapy is more long-term and focuses on a broader range of issues. Be sure to: โข Inquire as to the experience level in treating individuals with similar problems โข Make sure they are licensed to practice in your state SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE!

The ideal patient-doctor relationship is really a partnership. Research has shown that a strong doctor-patient relationship leads to better medical outcomes and patient satisfaction. An important element of this partnership is communication. Open and honest exchange of information is critical to managing good health and identifying health issues as early as possible. This means feeling comfortable asking questions, sharing health concerns and taking an active role in the exchange. Below are a few tips to enhance communication with your doctor during clinic visits:
TREATMENT & PREVENTION: Doctors
Tips on How to Talk to Your Doc
โข Start by making a list of concerns prior to the visit. Itโs possible you may not have a chance to get through your entire list, so prioritizing your questions and concerns is important. โข Be prepared with the details about your symptoms, medications and any special needs you might have while in the exam room. โข Bring a trusted friend or family member. Ask them to take notes so you can pay close attention to what the physician is saying and asking. Ask them to remind you of important details or questions that you may miss. โข Following the visit, review your notes and start making preparations for the next steps. Make sure you understand what is needed for any testing, supportive therapies, new treatments and subsequent follow-up visits.

Choosing the Right Location for Rehabilitation after Hospitalization Many families are not aware that they have choices regarding where to complete rehabilitation and that it can take place in a variety of settings, including in the home. The most important factor in determining where to complete rehabilitation is to find a setting that will reduce the risk of hospital readmission while helping your loved one regain their strength and confidence as quickly as possible. Things to Consider When Selecting a Rehabilitation Center โข Determine whether the rehab center can provide short- or long-term rehabilitation as needed. Some only provide short-term. โข Try to visit several to be able to compare and contrast. โข Ask to see patient rooms and common living spaces to evaluate the levels of cleanliness, comfort and privacy that residents have. โข Ask if both private and shared rooms are available. โข Check out the dining options and menus. โข Visit the community areas to find out about social events and activities designed to keep residents engaged and entertained. โข Ask for information about your loved oneโs specific rehab program. โข Ask if the person who is administering the rehab program is an employee or outsourced and if possible, try to meet them. โข Ask about the availability of specialized staff, with regard to you or your loved oneโs specific needs. โข Inquire about a personalized care plan and get actual details about it in advance. โข Ask to see their most recent โSatisfaction Surveyโ results and statistics on benchmarked outcomes.

20 Questions to Ask
DURING HOSPITAL DISCHARGE
By asking the right questions and taking an active role in your care, you can bridge the gap that patients typically experience when transferring from one care setting to anotherโwhich is one of the top causes for hospital readmission. โข What care or therapies are needed after discharge? i.e. Home Health, Outpatient Therapy, Rehab/Skilled Nursing etc. โข Will my loved one be safe at home upon discharge or will someone need to be with them 24 hours a day? Keep in mind dressing, bathing, cooking and housework. โข Can you show me how to do tasks that require special skills? i.e. changing a bandage, giving a shot, wheelchair transfers etc. If we need help with these tasks who do we contact? โข What is the average length of recovery time? โข Which doctor appointments are needed after discharge and when should they be scheduled? โข What problems, symptoms and side effects should we watch for? โข May we have the latest list of prescribed medications? What does each medicine do and why is it needed? โข What are the medication dosages, conflicts and side effects? Who should we contact with questions about the medications? โข What medical equipment is needed? i.e. walker, oxygen etc. Who will arrange for this? โข Are there any activity restrictions and for how long? โข Are there any dietary restrictions? โข What are our options for when/where my loved one is being discharged?

HOUSING: Assisted Living
Seniors Living at Home As we age, we require more attention and assistance. It is up to us to accept the fact our senior loved ones can no longer do things like they could in the past. It is also up to us to seek out proper care and assistance to help them live a life of dignity and purpose. As seniors experience the milestones of aging, they can often feel lonely. It can be tough to accept that a lot of the things they once knew as the norm are now changing, and often it can seem like itรข€™s happening all at once. Seniors who are isolated in their own homes may start to experience a decline in happiness, which in turn can lead to depression. Depression promotes a lack of motivation to be active and connect with others, which are vital keys to staying healthy and achieving joy. It is important that we take note of these trends before they start becoming the new standard for each day. Everyone, regardless of age or ability, has a purpose. However, before that purpose can be achieved, they must first become connected to their community, both inside the walls of wherever they call home, as well as the city they live in. Once they make these connections, they will want to become more activeรข€”physically, socially, mentally. Only when they become active participants in their community will they gain a higher sense of purpose. Ask yourselfรข€”does my home offer my loved one the opportunity to live a connected, active, purposeful and safe life? How much alone time does my loved one experience? What can I do to help my loved one re-engage in a socially active lifestyle?

Tips for Effective Alzheimerโs Communication Alzheimerโs disease presents many challenges, and communication is a big one. Despite the challenges, you can communicate effectively with a loved one who has Alzheimerโs. Consider these tips provided by the Mayo Clinic staff: โข Speak clearly. Introduce yourself. Speak in a clear, straightforward manner. โข Show respect. Avoid secondary baby talk and diminutive phrases, such as โgood girl.โ Donโt assume that your loved one canโt understand you, and donโt talk about your loved one as if he or she werenโt there. โข Stay present. Maintain eye contact, and stay near your loved one so that he or she will know that youโre listening and trying to understand. โข Avoid distractions. Communication may be difficultโif not impossibleโ against a background of competing sights and sounds. โข Keep it simple. Use short sentences and plain words. As the disease progresses, yes-no questions may work best, and only one question at a time is best. Break down requests into single steps. โข Donโt interrupt. It may take longer than you expect for your loved one to process and respond. Avoid criticizing, hurrying and correcting. โข Use visual cues. Sometimes gestures or other visual cues promote better understanding than words alone. Rather than simply asking if your loved one needs to use the toilet, for example, take him or her to the toilet and point to it. โข Donโt argue. Your loved oneโs reasoning and judgment will decline over time. To spare anger and agitation, donโt argue with your loved one. โข Stay calm. Even when youโre frustrated, keep your voice gentle. Your nonverbal cues, including the tone of your voice, can send a clearer message than what you actually say.

Preparing Presenting a
Eulogy
by JOHN B. EARTHMAN
T
he purpose of a eulogy is to acknowledge and share information about a personรข€™s life. It is a great honor for someone to present and itรข€™s an important part of the grieving process for the presenter, as well as the audience. A good place to start is to make a list of thoughts and memories youรข€™d like to share. While others might not be comfortable or able to give their own eulogy, they might find great comfort in sharing memories with you that you could incorporate into the eulogy. Things you might include are stories, quotes, expressions of love or prayers, all of which can be delivered in a serious or humorous manner depending on what you feel is appropriate. In an effort to have the audience connected and involved in your tribute, the eulogy can be compiled from private memories that your audience might not be aware of as well as personal traits and details of the loved one that all will remember. You will want to include any accomplishments or honors no matter how big or small that were especially important to your loved one. Memories shared should always acknowledge the person in a positive manner and recognize them for who they were accurately. Once you are ready to write the eulogy, decide on how you will begin, then pick the main thoughts and memories that you wish to share and finally determine how you will close. You need to properly introduce yourself when you begin and have a summarizing statement to share when you close. You can read from your notes, but practice giving the eulogy and change any part that does not feel like natural conversation in your own words. Presenting a eulogy can cause great anxiety. Stopping at any time to collect your thoughts or emotions and then continuing when you are ready is understandable and acceptable. If you decide that you cannot continue, simply skip to your final statement. It is the message about the impact of your loved that is important, not the delivery, so just be yourself.

Birth certificates are confidential for 75 years, and death certificates are confidential for 25 years after the death has occurred. If a birth or death certificate is requested before this period of time elapses, certified copies of these documents can only be obtained by a qualified applicant. A qualified applicant can be an immediate family member (by blood or marriage), a legal guardian, or the legal representative of the person for whom the document is requested. If you are not a qualified applicant, you may request a verification of a birth or death record. Certified copies of the birth and death certificates are issued with a state seal and are printed on security paper. Heirloom birth certificates have a different cost and are printed on special paper that boasts a design celebrating Texas. The heirloom certificate ($60) is only offered through Austin, Texas. Funeral homes will supply certified copies of a death certificate for a small fee if requested at the time funeral arrangements are made. Continued SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE!

Understanding
H
Hospice
ospice care is a philosophy of care that accepts dying as a natural part of life. When death is inevitable, hospice seeks neither to hasten nor postpone it. Hospice provides care, comfort and support for persons with life-limiting conditions as well as their families. How Does Hospice Work? Hospice care is for any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness. All hospices consider the patient and family together as the unit of care. Most reimbursement sources require a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients with both cancer and non-cancer illnesses are eligible to receive hospice care. The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or the homes of a loved one. รข€œHomeรข€? may also be broadly construed to include services provided in nursing homes or hospitals. Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and when appropriate, helps make decisions for the hospice patient. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE!
127
Who is the Hospice Team? Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes, at a minimum, a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers. They work together focusing on the dying patientโs needs; physical, psychological, or spiritual. The goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible until death. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patientโs individual needs for pain management and symptom control. How is Hospice Paid for? Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and private insurers. If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. Who is Eligible for Medicare Hospice Benefits? Hospice care is covered under Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance). You are eligible for Medicare hospice benefits when you meet all of the following conditions: โข You are eligible for Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance), and โข Your doctor and the hospice medical director certify that you are terminally ill and probably have less than six months to live, and โข You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare covered benefits for your terminal illness, and โข You receive care from a Medicare-approved hospice program. Please note: Medicare will still pay for covered benefits for any health problems that arenโt related to your terminal illness. What Does Medicare Cover? Medicare covers these hospice services and pays nearly all of their costs: โข Doctor services and Nursing care โข Medical equipment (like wheelchairs or walkers) โข Medical supplies (like bandages and catheters) โข Drugs for symptom control and pain relief โข Short-term hospital care, including respite and inpatient for pain/symptom management โข Home health aide and homemaker services โข Physical, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy โข Social work services and Dietary counseling โข Grief support to help you and your family Please note: You will only have to pay part of the cost for outpatient drugs and inpatient respite care. The Medicare Hospice Benefit Does Not Cover the Following: โข Treatment intended to cure your terminal illness. You should talk with your doctor if you are thinking about potential treatment to cure your illness. โข Medications not directly related to your hospice diagnosis. Hospice team 128
SRGTEXAS.COM
members will consult with the hospice physician and will inform you and your family which drugs and/or medications are covered and which ones are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit. โข Room and board arenโt covered by Medicare. You may receive hospice services wherever you live, even in a nursing home, however, the Medicare Hospice Benefit does not pay for nursing home room and board. Respite Care and Medicare Respite care is care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest. As a hospice patient, you may have one person who takes care of you every day, like a family member. Sometimes your caregiver needs someone to take care of you for a short time while they do other things that need to be done. During a period of respite care, you might be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice residential facility, hospital, or nursing home. How Do I Begin Receiving Hospice? Anyone can inquire about hospice services. You or your loved one may call a local hospice and request services. The hospice staff will then contact your physician to determine if a referral to hospice is appropriate. Another way to inquire about hospice is to talk with your physician, and he or she can make a referral to hospice. Hospice can begin as soon as a โreferralโ is made by the personโs doctor. As a hospice patient, you always have the right to stop getting hospice care and receive the โtraditionalโ Medicare coverage you had before electing hospice. All care that you receive for your illness must be given by your hospice team. Questions to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Program โข What services are provided? โข What kind of support is available to the family/caregiver? โข What roles do the attending physician and hospice play? โข How does hospice work to keep the patient comfortable? โข How are services provided after hours? โข How and where does hospice provide short-term inpatient care? โข Can hospice be brought into a nursing home or long-term care facility? โข Are any of the staff members certified or credentialed in hospice? โข Do physicians visit the patient in the home? โข What is the staff to patient ratio? โข Are any alternative therapies provided to manage symptoms? โข What โextrasโ does the hospice provide?

Is Your Power of Attorney Powerful Enough? Powerful โpower of attorneyโ (POA) documents are essential especially if there ever comes a time when you or your loved one become unable to manage your finances or make healthcare decisions. However, not all POAs are created equal. Beware if you rely only on POAs that hospitals provide, or you pull off the internet, or get from other attorneys who do not focus their practice specifically on elder law. When an emergency arises, the bank or healthcare provider may refuse to allow your agent to act and then the only recourse is to go to court and get a guardianship. Of course, this is not what you want to hear when dealing with an emergency. Guardianship proceedings can cost time and money, expose your private affairs to the public and you or your loved one can lose control of your autonomy. Worst case, unfriendly family members can try to take advantage which can cost tremendous anxiety and expense to defend against that threat. POAs for financial and healthcare matters tend to be lengthy if done right. Your attorney should help you anticipate as many nuances as possible, to ensure that when you need assistance, your documents will be there to avoid guardianships and help you get the responsible financial coverage and healthcare treatment you need. Here are a few key items that your POA should contain: โข It should specify the kind of healthcare the individual would want. โข It should comply with state law. โข It should protect the individualโs agent from liability for a bad decision. โข It should provide the agent with access to essential medical records. โข It should designate who should serve as an agent.

Five Must-Have
Legal Documents W
hether youโre a caregiver or interested in getting your own business in order, weโve identified five recommended legal documents that every adult should have. There are many online resources that explain in further detail about each document. If you have an attorney, be sure to ask about these documents or there are online resources that provide a free template for you to create your own. Donโt wait until itโs too lateโtake a moment to get organized. A D VA N C E D I R E C T I V E Also known as a living will or health care declaration/directive, this document outlines your wishes for medical treatments and life-sustaining measures, in the case that you are not able to communicate them verbally. Details might include a โdo not resuscitateโ order (DNR), the use
146
SRGTEXAS.COM
of breathing machines, tube feeding or organ donation. Making these decisions in advance lets medical professionals know what measures to take and grants your loved ones peace of mind, should they have to communicate these decisions for you. D U R A B L E P O W E R O F AT T O R N E Y F O R H E A L T H C A R E While an advance directive is limited to end-of-life concerns, a durable power of attorney for health care accounts for all health care decisions in the case that you are incapable of making decisions for yourself. In this document, you are able to outline how your designated power of attorney should act. Their authority to make these decisions ends when you are once again capable of making your own decisions. L A S T W I L L A N D T E S TA M E N T Many people know this document simply as a โwill.โ It outlines how your property (including digital property such as email accounts and blogs) should be distributed and to whom. Different states have different requirements for oneโs will. In Texas your will must be signed by two witnesses. LIVING TRUST A living trust designates someone (trustee) to help manage and distribute your assets rather than going through the court system, as in a last will. This often prevents your last wishes from becoming public record. This document also designates terms in which the trustee would set into action, should you be unable to make decisions regarding your assets during and after your life. F I N A N C I A L P O W E R O F AT T O R N E Y This document designates someone (principal) to do business on your behalf, should you be unable to take care of necessary matters yourself. Tasks designated might include paying bills, selling property, managing assets or applying for medical benefits. Unlike a living trust, a financial power of attorney dies when you do.
