Our inaugural issue of the Summer Buxmont edition was a huge success. We received numerous requests for new drop off locations and subscriptions mailed to homes (if you would like to subscribe please contact us). Since we have been publishing for over 11 years we know what people enjoy reading. We also added an option for readers to sign up to receive our monthly emailed activities newsletter that will include games, puzzles, trivia, fun facts and local information. You can simply sign-up at Lifestylesover50.com and print it out to read and complete the Sudoku, crossword puzzles and more.

As we move into the fall we will enjoy more moderate temperatures. No more of the overpowering summer heat to drain our energies. One of our favorite pastimes is picking fruits, vegetables and especially pumpkins. We have a listing of prime locations for you and your family to enjoy the fall picking season. For your own pleasure you might consider volunteering in your area. Most volunteers find that it becomes an important part of their lives. Making someone else’s life a bit better or more comfortable is a powerful gift and one you should consider giving. Read our article by RSVP to gain insight into the benefits of volunteering. We also

It is an unpleasant fact that as we get older we are prone to dementia. This can be quite difficult for young children to understand and to accept. In our article we list some tips for facilitating interacting between a child and a grandparent with dementia.

The article on reverse mortgages gives you an idea as to how it works and how it might benefit you. Safety should be on everyone’s mind at all times. Guarding and improving your health should be your number one priority. We present several suggestions as part of our article titled “Tips for a Safe and Healthy Fall”.

For those who are semi-retired, like to keep busy or want to make some extra cash, Lifestyles over 50 has opportunities to deliver magazines on a quarterly basis to locations in your community. Call for details.

Know Your Neighbors Artis Senior Living Takes Extraordinary Measures to Understand Its Residents

Many senior living communities have impeccable facilities and upscale amenities to attract new residents. Having a beautiful, well-maintained home is important, but the quality of care is vital, especially when seeking a home to care for a loved one with dementia. Artis Senior Living, a national leader in memory care living, offers both.

“Our approach to caring for residents and their lives is the glass-is-half-full attitude,” explains Betsy Szamboti, Director of Community Relations for the new Artis Senior Living in Huntingdon Valley. “We want to celebrate the lives of our residents and create memories for our families, not focus on what may have been lost,” says Szamboti in referring to the devastating effects of dementia.

Artis is a senior living community devoted to caring for residents with dementia, offering 72 private studios, each with its own full bathroom. Staff is specially trained to care for residents with dementia. “Staff will be selected for their passion and dedication in caring for those with dementia, as well as their experience in the field,” says Nancy Dungan, Director of Nursing for Artis.

Artis has excelled in caring for individuals with dementia, developing an innovative approach, known as the Artis Way, to resident care. Prior to moving a loved one to an Artis community, families complete an eight-page partnership profile of family and personal history, covering work experience, hobbies, likes, dislikes, and more. All Artis staff study the profile to understand who each resident is: what they did, what they enjoy, and how to better connect with them. “Staff also completes a partnership profile to match their own interests with our residents to find shared interests – art, athletics, music and more,” explains Stacy Ayers, Director of Partnership Development at Artis. This helps residents feel comfortable and also provides staff with

insight to caring for residents, whether in the mundane aspects of daily living activities or during periods of managing resident frustration.

“One of the most devastating effects of dementia and moving into senior living is the loss of control for the individual,” reveals Sherry Nikisher, executive director of Artis Huntingdon Valley. “Our residents have input on their routine and decisions in our community.”

This includes allowing residents to make choices – from selecting paint colors and decorations for their personal suite to daily participation in activities to changing the dining menu and more.

This is achieved through on-going staff and resident conversations as well as regularly scheduled town hall meetings with residents, staff and families to discuss issues. “We had a group of residents who enjoyed having a glass of wine and cheese at 3 pm and wanted this activity to be part of their routine, so we made it happen,” says Nikisher.

Another aspect of quality care for dementia residents is keeping them active and involved. “Those with dementia tend to withdraw and isolate themselves,” explains Nikisher. “Through our partnership profile and training, staff can cue residents to participate in activities like “I’m Alwrite”, a structured letter writing campaign to family and close friends, or “I Can”, a series of volunteer and service projects including writing to Veterans, reading at schools, making wreaths for Habitat for Humanity and more.

All standard senior living activities are Montessori based and include art therapy, outdoor activities, gardening, pet therapy, music therapy, karaoke, current events, and live entertainment.

Artis Senior Living’s care and facilities are completely designed for dementia care. The building is a walkable, one-story community with four distinct neighborhoods that include a common area kitchen, dining area and living room surrounded by resident rooms. The core of the building consists of a town center, beauty shop, therapy room, and activity room in core of building, enclosed patio spaces, and private areas for family visitation.

Artis Senior Living of Huntingdon Valley opens this fall. For more information call Betsy Szamboti at (267) 5712699 or visit ArtisSeniorLiving.com.

Things to do with Grandkids Rainy day, stuck at home or bored? This these ideas:

• Turn your living room into a campsite by building a pillow fort. Children will be crawling in and out, bending, lifting, and having a great time. Despite how it may look, it’s not difficult to clean up afterward.

• Play a game of coin critters. Take coins from your pocket or purse, lay them out on a piece of paper, and have your child draw arms, legs, and other body parts to create a creature. Help her total up the value of the coins and write it beside the creature. Add or take away coins to form new shapes and figure out the new sums.

• Help the kids learn about their family roots. They can interview you, their parents and other family members to hear the names and stories of people who’ve helped make them who they are today. Filling in the names on the family tree branches can keep their interest long after snowmen have melted and winter is gone.

• Discover the science behind melting and cooling chocolate in the “tempering” process as you create scrumptious treats. Dark chocolate (in moderation, of course!) is actually good for you.

Understanding Grandparents with Dementia

By Jeff Tintle Lifestyles over 50 One of the greatest joys in life is the relationship between a grandchild and grandparent. Unfortunately, not every child has the opportunity to spend time and really know their grandparents due to any number of factors, including having a deceased grandparent, How can families encourage geographic separation, and increasingly interaction between a grandchild more common -- the effects of dementia. and a grandparent with dementia?

Dementia robs an individual of their personality and dramatically alters the relationships of those around them – spouses, children, and grandchildren.

Dementia is particularly painful for those who witness the harrowing transformation from who they were into who they are with dementia. The silver lining is that they had the opportunity to know the individual. This is not true for some grandchildren of individuals with dementia.

We asked one of the most respected dementia educators in the world, Teepa Snow, who trains health and senior professionals across the nation, what advice she has for grandchild/ grandparent interaction:

Explain the situation.

“The most important thing is for child to understand that the grandparent is going through changes. They are not who they used to be and may act erratically. The most important thing is the child understands that, regardless of the situation, the grandparent does love them,” says Snow. “Families need to let go of idea that granny will behave. Teach kids that grandma is different, and might not recognize them or even at times be nice.”

Make everyone comfortable.

Many times when a child is present the attention goes to the child. It may good to sometimes visit a grandparent with dementia without the child. If a child is present for the visit, let the child know that they are there to visit the elder and set the expectation that they are not the focus. Similarly, the elder should be comfortable, in a relaxed setting, with no expectations or pressure.

Encourage participation.

Snow also recommends taking a toy and allowing the child to play

independently in front of the grandparent. The grandparent can observe, and if they wish to participate and interact with the child, they can do so. This allows the elder to have control of their participation and not force them into an activity. It is also a good idea for the child and parent to prepare to bring activities or hobbies of interest to the grandparent.

Many times the grandparent will want to participate, especially if the activity is something they once enjoyed or were good at. If the senior enjoyed playing the piano, go to a where a piano is and let them listen to another player or invite them to play. Oftentimes they will become interested and participate, ultimately creating a wonderful memory for the child.

Teens have hardest time because they also experience significant psychological and emotional changes; they can be impulsive and impatient and not understand the other’s point of view. “Like engaging a teen, it is necessary to make all feel comfortable and encourage participation in an activity. This typically yields the best results,” explains Snow.

Ramblings of a Retired Mind What is a Reverse Mortgage?

• You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn’t like me anyway.

• I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!

• I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it ‘Pumping Rust’.

• When people see a cat’s litter box, they always say, ‘Oh, have you got a cat?’ Just once I want to say, ‘No, it’s for company!’

• Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, ‘A Good Doctor’!

• He who hesitates is probably right.

• Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL. • If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

• The sole purpose of a child’s middle name is so he can tell when he’s really in trouble.

Did you ever notice? The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL. • Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

• Some people try to turn back their odometers.

Not me, I want people to know ‘why’ I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.

• When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra.

• One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

A reverse mortgage is the only financial tool available that allows homeowners to remain in the comfort of their own home, gain access to a substantial amount of money (tax free), and not have to endure the added stress of a monthly mortgage payment.

What is a Reverse Purchase Mortgage Many people find themselves needing to purchase a new or preowned home later in life. Sometimes the former home is too big, too far away from loved ones. A reverse purchase can help borrowers buy the right place and have no monthly mortgage payment. Under normal circumstances, a borrower can expect to put about half down of the sale price and the reverse mortgage will cover the rest.

Reasons Most People use a Reverse Mortgage As people age, many unexpected expenses can arise such as medical bills, prescription drugs, home repairs and the need for long term care. Additionally, when a spouse passes, one of the Social Security checks goes away. When savings and retirement accounts run low and life insurance is no longer available, a reverse mortgage eliminates your monthly mortgage payment and increases monthly cash flow, giving you a greater sense of financial security.

Seniors are living longer and running out of money. Clients should think of a reverse mortgage as a financial planning tool.

Have a Plan in place, be ready! Do not wait for a crisis. You do not have to have a mortgage.

My name is Michael Friedman, and I am the owner of Reversing Pa Mortgage, LLC. For the past decade I have been educating hundreds of seniors on the benefits of the reverse mortgage program. I am local and meet with all of my clients in person.

When we meet, I will review your situation, confirm your eligibility, and you will decide if a reverse mortgage is the right plan for you. www.reversingpamortgage.com

Tips for a Safe and Healthy Fall

By Robert Formica, Health Partners Plans Health Partners Plans wants you to be healthy all year round. Since fall is upon us, here are some tips for preventing illness, promoting good health and to help you have a great fall season.

Eat the Rainbow By adding an array of different colored fruits and veggie picks to your diet, you’ll be getting a wide variety of vitamins and minerals!

Summer gets a lot of credit for fresh produce, but you can enjoy colorful healthy picks in the fall too. Orange root vegetables, like carrots and sweet potatoes, have beta carotene (vitamin A) for eye health and immunity. Beets are a great source of folate (vitamin B9) for overall health. As for greens, Brussels sprouts are packed with vitamin C, an essential nutrient. Try any of these fall and winter vegetables roasted in the oven with olive oil and thyme.

Flu Season Is Here It’s flu season. To lower your chances of getting sick, wash your hands often and get a flu shot. The CDC recommends getting your annual vaccination by the end of October. Adults over the age of 65 are one of the groups of people at highest risk for complications and death from the flu. Medicare covers an annual flu shot, so get vaccinated today!

Walk for Health For many of us, the summer heat means staying inside with a fan or an air conditioner. As the mild fall weather rolls in, it’s time to get back outside. Walking is a great low-impact exercise that helps manage weight and maintain strength and stability. Whether you’re hiking in the woods or walking around your neighborhood, the most important thing is to just get out there. Make sure you have comfortable, supportive shoes with soles that provide good traction. If you’re walking on uneven surfaces, use a cane or walking stick to prevent falls.

Your family.

Our focus.

Health Partners Plans has been serving residents of Southeastern Pennsylvania for more than 30 years. We are exceeding expectations with health plans that help you get well and stay well.

What makes Health Partners Plans different?

Safe Cooking

We are the plan you can trust.

You may be having a full house for the holidays, but don’t invite salmonella (a type of food poisoning). Preventing food poisoning is all about temperature. That means keeping your meats cold (below 40°F) until they go in the oven. Be sure to thaw frozen meats in the refrigerator or in cold water, which should be changed every 30 minutes. Invest in a food thermometer to make sure meats get to a safe internal temperature when cooking.

Finally, refrigerate leftovers promptly.

To learn more about Health Partners Plans, call 1-888-HPP-9800 (TTY 711) or visit www.HealthPartnersPlans.com.

Adult Day Care Services provide a coordinated program of professional and compassionate services for adults in a community-based group setting. Services are designed to provide social and some health services to adults who need supervised care in a safe place outside the home during the day. They also afford caregivers respite from the demanding responsibilities of caregiving. Adult day care facilities for the elderly are licensed and inspected by the Department of Aging. Costs for Adult Day Care Services range from $75/day to $100/day. The costs are paid for with private funds or may be partially/fully covered by long-term care insurance, Veterans Assistance, or Medicaid through the County’s Aging Waiver Program. A list of questions to ask when visiting adult day care services can be found at Lifestylesover50.com.

Non-medical home care includes a wide variety of companionship, home helper and personal care services that helps individuals with living activities as well as ensure a safe environment. All non-medical home care companies are licensed by the state of Pennsylvania. Payment for services is often made by the client as traditional medical insurance does not cover non-medical home care. For those who qualify, non-medical home care may be paid for partially or fully through Medicaid (via the County’s Aging Waiver Program), Veterans Assistance and long-term care insurance. The average cost of non-medical home care services can range from $18 - $28 per hour, depending on one’s needs.

Private

Independent Living is designed for individuals who can live independently. Some are affiliated with health care facilities that provide additional support, if needed.

Ombudsman provides assistance in investigating and resolving complaints brought by, or on behalf of, longterm care consumers such as residents of nursing homes, personal care, assisted living facilities and recipients of home health care. Contact 1-800-677-1116 or Eldercare.gov for your local ombudsman.

Personal Care Homes are Pennsylvania State licensed facilities that offer semi-private and/or private rooms to those who need assistance with living activities but do not require skilled nursing care. The levels of assistance varies among the communities.

Respite Care is short-term care and relief to enable those caring for a loved one in their homes to have a break for rest and relaxation or time away to do errands. Personal care homes typically offer respite care as a short term (several days) admission to the facility.

Semi-private

communities that offer varying levels of on-site care to residents; from assistance with daily living activities to nursing services. The costs for personal care homes can range. The average cost per month for a semi-private room is between $2,000 and $4,500, and a private room costs between $3,500 and $7,000 in southeastern Pennsylvania.

The costs are typically funded by the residents but may be funded by Veterans Assistance and long-term care insurance. Below are some commonly used terms.

Alzheimer’s / Dementia care is a service offered by some personal care homes to manage the needs of those with memory impairment. Levels of care vary and may include staff training, special programming and secured areas.

Assisted Living is a term for personal care facilities that meet specific Pennsylvania State licensing criteria.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities offer a comprehensive, lifetime range of care from independent living to skilled nursing care. Costs and levels of care vary widely.

Rehab / Therapy

Skilled Nursing Facilities provide 24-hour care for those requiring rehabilitation or for those with long-term illnesses.

Services may include medical care, therapies and assistance with activities of daily living. Facilities are licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Depending on an individual’s circumstances, costs for skilled nursing and rehabilitation can be covered fully or partially by Medicare, Medicaid, major insurance, and long-term care insurance. In some cases, care needs to be paid for by an individual’s private funds, in which case monthly costs can range between $10,000 and $14,000.
