The hip is a ball and socket joint Levi Frasier, PT with a ring of cartilage that supports the hip keeping the ball and socket in place. With repetitive activity, trauma or arthritis, the cartilage may be torn away from the bone leading to pain and limited activity.

Symptoms usually manifest in the front of the hip or groin and stiffness or locking up of the joint may be common complaints.

Physical therapy can be effective in the management of hip pain associated with labral tears with exercise, pain management, and education in activity pacing.

Contact the professional staff at the Institute of Physical Therapy so we can assist you in relieving pain and restoring function.

Cohousing: New trend in senior living Baby Boomers save by sharing living spaces with roommates

By KAREN D’SOUZA OF THE MERCURY NEWS

Bay Area News Group/Doug Duran

From left: Phoenix Commons residents Angela Hunkler, Vincent Wong, Karin Bloomquist and Jane Voytek visit in the senior cohousing community’s hot tub in April in Oakland, Calif. Residents own individual condos but share public spaces like the hot tub, a common room and a dining room — which make it easy to socialize. professor of gerontology at University of North Carolina Wilmington. “So many older people endure a crippling sense of isolation. Why not live in a village where you know all of your neighbors?”

Companionship is a key reason seniors are turning to shared housing. Loneliness is a huge health risk for older Americans, bigger than smoking or obesity according to a 2015 Brigham Young University study. The desire for independence is another factor

fueling the trend.

Unlike in a traditional retirement community, residents in cohousing communities are in charge.

They decide how things should work. Some communities vote; others just work toward a consensus.

There is no staff providing meals, landscaping or programs. The residents, most of whom sell family homes to finance their moves, volunteer to do all that.

“This isn’t an institution, it’s a community,”

says Murphy, 64, an estate lawyer. “No one wants to live in an institution.”

In the Bay Area, there are three senior cohousing communities — Phoenix Commons, which opened two years ago, the Mountain View Cohousing Community and Santa Cruz’s Walnut Commons. The attraction isn’t about price: Most units aren’t much cheaper than any other Bay Area home.

There are 13 other communities across the country and more are beginning to

take shape, including one in Marin. The nation’s first senior cohousing community opened in 2005 at Davis’s Glacier Circle.

For those on fixed incomes who want to stay in their own homes — or are happy living in someone else’s — there is also home sharing. Organizations and even private companies are springing up to make the traditional roommate search much easier.

he skyrocketing cost of Bay Area housing almost forced Marietta Borgel to leave San Jose, the place she’s called home for six decades. Then she discovered home-sharing and, for the first time in her 75 years, Borgel moved in with a roommate.

Life in a traditional retirement home didn’t appeal to Angela Hunkler, a 73-year-old artist, so she and her wife, Kate Murphy, sold their Berkeley house and bought a small condominium in a senior cohousing community on the waterfront in Oakland.

It’s an easy walk to her studio and the views of the water just won’t quit.

Borgel and Hunkler are part of a burgeoning trend in communal living among seniors, who are banding together to share resources and camaraderie. Whether they’re finding roommates or living in a modern cohousing development — private homes clustered around shared spaces that residents manage together — these seniors are finding a new way of thinking about retirement, one that revolves around creating a community where you can age in place with others.

Some say living-together options are the future of aging.

“These folks are really pioneering a new way of living,” says Anne Glass, a

All you have to do is come downstairs to find friendship.” — JANE VOYTEK, DESCRIBING LIFE AT PHOENIX COMMONS safety net so that everyone knew they could make ends meet, but we don’t,” says Glass. “Home sharing can be a blessing for seniors who are cash-strapped.”

As Boomers age, they are demanding alternatives to the traditional retirement home, experts say. Overall, the number of U.S. residents age 65 and over grew from 35 million in 2000 to 49.2 million in 2016, according to Census data. And there are now 4 million women over the age of 50 who live with two other women of the same age, according to AARP. “The Boomers have revolutionized every stage of life, and the senior years are no different,” says Wendi Burkhardt, CEO of Denverbased Silvernest, which is sort of like a Match.com for seniors who want to share living spaces. Launched in 2015, Silvernest has connected many Bay Area seniors. “In the past, you lived at home and then you went into assisted living. Now, people want more control over how they age.”

The vibrant lifestyle you find at Phoenix Commons, a 41-unit senior cohousing community on Oakland’s waterfront, looks a lot more like an episode of “Friends” than “The Golden Girls.”

Prices range from $500,000 for the smaller units to $700,000 and up.

Jane Voytek, 66, who manages the donor database at Berkeley Rep, often hits the hot tub at 9.

“My daughter says it’s like a dorm for grownups,” says Voytek, who moved in after years of living in a condo at Jack London Square where she never got to know anyone. “All you have to do is come downstairs to find friendship.”

Residents own condos that frame the community’s common spaces where people can easily socialize — a kitchen, a dining room and a gym. Like other retirement communi-

ties, there are guest units where family or caregivers can stay if needed. Phoenix Commons has a rooftop garden and a library, while the 19-unit Mountain View Cohousing Community, where units sell for $1 million and up, is built around a picturesque garden.

“It’s a lot of fun to garden with other people, while alone it can be drudgery,” says Patricia Ann Boomer, 63, who picks strawberries for breakfast at the Mountain View community, where she moved after selling her Peninsula home. “I love the feeling of a good old-fashioned neighborhood.”

tech freelancer who lives in San Jose. “We walk the dogs together.”

Getting a roommate also has been a game changer for Joseph Karnicky. The retired engineer suffers from MS, which has left him almost completely paralyzed and in a wheelchair. The Menlo Park resident needed a helping hand, so he found a housemate through a home-sharing service run

by HIP Housing, a San Mateo County nonprofit.

“I don’t want to leave my home,” says Karnicky, who has wired a lot of his house for voice commands. “I need my freedom.”

Disagreements happen in shared housing situations, of course. Over the years, Karnicky has had his share of horrible housemates, including one who stole from him and smoked crack.

“You need to find a good fit or it can be a nightmare,” says Karnicky.

And at Phoenix, one hot button issue is when and where to walk the dogs (There are 14 of them).

“A lot of people romanticize living in community,” says Marianne Kilkenny, an expert on senior communities. “The reality is that we are human and there will be conflict.”

Still, having people around you can count on in a pinch can be priceless.

“There is always someone you can turn to,” says Hunkler.

together, which keeps people connected.

“The common meals are the glue of the community,” says Hunkler, tucking into a meal of lasagna and apple crisp at Phoenix.

“It’s when we chat and catch up.”

Of course, you can always retreat to your own private condo. At Phoenix, the code is simple: Close your blinds if you don’t want visitors.

You may have to work a little harder to keep your privacy in a home-sharing arrangement. Still, renting out a room is one way to raise extra money and avoid living alone. On the other side of arrangement, it’s a way to live in the Bay Area without having to fork out big bucks.

Sharing a home was a lifesaver for Borgel. She couldn’t find any place she could afford and having a dog made it harder.

“A lot of elderly people end up homeless in Silicon Valley and I can see why,” says Borgel. “It’s a real struggle living here on Social Security. It’s been very hard.”

Then she found Cathy Logie, 50, an empty nester with four bedrooms. They met through a mutual friend and now live together in Logie’s house with two dogs, a cat and three foster kittens.

Surgery near end of life is common, costly

At

87, Maxine Stanich cared more about improving the quality of her life than prolonging it.

She suffered from a long list of health problems, including heart failure and chronic lung disease that could leave

her gasping for breath.

When her time came, she wanted to die a natural death, Stanich told her daughter, and signed a “do not resuscitate� directive, or DNR, ordering doctors not to revive her should her heart stop.

Yet a trip to a San Francisco emergency room for shortness of breath in 2008 led Stanich to get a defibrillator implanted in her chest — a medical device to keep her alive by deliv-

ering a powerful shock.

At the time, Stanich didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully grasp what she had agreed to, even though she signed a document granting permission for the procedure, said her daughter, Susan Giaquinto.

That clarity came only during a subsequent visit to a different hospital, when a surprised ER doctor saw a defibrillator protruding from the DNR patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thin chest. To Stanichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horror, the ER

doctor explained that the device would not allow her to slip away painlessly and that the jolt would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;so strong that it will knock her across the room,â&#x20AC;? said Giaquinto, who accompanied her mother on both hospital trips.

Surgery like this has become all too common among those near the end of life, experts say. Nearly one in three Medicare patients undergo an operation in the year before

they die, even though the evidence shows that many are more likely to be harmed than to benefit from it.

The practice is driven by financial incentives that reward doctors for doing procedures, as well as a medical culture in which patients and doctors are reluctant to talk about how surgical interventions should be prescribed more judiciously, said Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiologist

older than 80, according to a 2015 study. Doctors implant about 158,000 of the devices each year, according to the American College of Cardiology. The total cost of the procedure runs about $60,000.

Procedures performed in the elderly range from major operations that require lengthy recoveries to relatively minor surgery performed in a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, such as the removal of nonfatal skin cancers, that would likely never cause any problems.

Research led by Dr. Eleni Linos has shown that people with limited life expectancies are treated for nonfatal skin cancers as aggressively as younger patients. Among patients with a nonfatal skin cancer and a limited time to live, 70 percent underwent surgery, according to her 2013 study in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Surgery poses serious risks for older people, who weather anesthesia poorly and whose skin takes longer to heal. Among seniors who undergo urgent or emergency abdominal surgery, 20 percent die within 30 days, studies show.

With diminished mental acuity and an old-fashioned respect for the medical profession, some aging patients are vulnerable to unwanted interventions.

Stanich agreed to a pacemaker simply because her doctor suggested it, Giaquinto said. Many people of Stanichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generation â&#x20AC;&#x153;thought doctors were God â&#x20AC;Ś They never questioned doctors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ever.â&#x20AC;?

Health, said that older patients often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the financial pain of surgery because insurance pays most of the cost.

When a surgeon offers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixâ&#x20AC;? the heart valve in a person with multiple diseases, for example, the patient may assume that surgery will fix all of her medical problems, Schwarze said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With older patients with lots of chronic illnesses, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really fixing anything.â&#x20AC;?

Even as a doctor, Redberg said, she struggles to prevent other doctors from performing too many procedures on her 92year-old mother, Mae, who lives in New York City.

Redberg said doctors recently treated her mother for melanoma â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most serious type of skin cancer. After the cancer was removed from her leg, Redbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was urged by a doctor to undergo an additional surgery to cut away more tissue and nearby lymph nodes, which can harbor cancerous cells. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time she went in, the dermatologist wanted to refer her to a surgeon,â&#x20AC;?

Redberg said. And â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicare would have been happy to pay for it.â&#x20AC;?

But her mother often has problems with wounds healing, she said, and recovery would likely have taken three months. When Redberg pressed a surgeon about the benefits, he said the procedure could reduce the chances of cancer coming back within three to five years.

Redberg said her mother laughed and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not interested in doing something that will help me in three to five years. I

doctors should lay out the best, worst and most likely outcomes.

In the best-case scenario, a patient might spend weeks in the hospital after surgery, living the rest of her life in a nursing home.

In the worst case, the same patient dies after several weeks in intensive care. In the most likely scenario, the patient survives just two to three months after surgery.

Schwarze said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone says they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate the best-case scenario â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which involves them being in a nursing home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then maybe we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be doing this.â&#x20AC;?

Maxine Stanich was admitted to the hospital after going to the ER because she felt short of breath. She experienced an abnormal heart rhythm in the procedure room during a cardiac test â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not an unusual event during a procedure in which a wire is threaded into the heart. Based on that, doctors decided to implant a pacemaker and defibrillator the next day.

Dr. Redberg was consulted when the patient objected to the device that was now embedded in her chest. She was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very alert. She was very clear about what she did and did not want done. She told me she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be shocked,â&#x20AC;? Redberg said.

After Redberg deactivated the defibrillator, which can be reprogrammed remotely, Stanich was discharged, with home hospice service.

With nothing more than her medicines, she survived another two years and three months, dying at home just after her 90th birthday in 2010.

The momentum of hospital care can make people feel as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a moving train and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump off.

The rush of medical decisions â&#x20AC;&#x153;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow time to deliberate or consider the patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; overall health or what their goals and values might be,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jacqueline Kruser, an instructor in pulmonary and critical care medicine and medical social sciences at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

Many hospitals and health systems are developing â&#x20AC;&#x153;decision aids,â&#x20AC;? easy-to-understand written materials and videos to help patients make more informed medical decisions, giving them time to develop more realistic expectations.

After Kaiser Permanente Washington introduced the tools relating to joint replacement, the number of patients choosing to have hip replacement surgery fell 26 percent, while knee replacements declined 38 percent, according to a study in Health Affairs.

(Kaiser Permanente is not affiliated with Kaiser Health News, which is an editorially independent program of the Kaiser Family Foundation.)

In a paper published last year in JAMA Surgery and the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, Schwarze, Kruser and colleagues suggested creating narratives to illustrate surgical risks, rather than relying on statistics.

Instead of telling patients that surgery carries a 20 percent risk of stroke, for example,

who treated Stanich when she sought care at the second hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a culture that believes in very aggressive care,â&#x20AC;? said Redberg, who specializes in heart disease in women at the University of California, San Francisco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are often not considering the chance of benefit and chance of harm, and how that changes when you get older. We also fail to have conversations about what patients value most.â&#x20AC;?

While surgery is typically lifesaving for younger people, operating on frail, older patients rarely helps them live longer or returns the quality of life they once enjoyed, according to a 2016 paper in Annals of Surgery.

The cost of these surgeries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; typically paid for by Medicare, the government health insurance program for people older than 65 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; involve more than money, said Dr. Amber Barnato, a professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Older patients who undergo surgery within a year of death spent 50 percent more time in the hospital than others, and nearly twice as many days in intensive care.

And while some robust octogenarians have many years ahead of them, studies show that surgery is also common among those who are far more frail.

Eighteen percent of Medicare patients have surgery in their final month of life and 8 percent in their final week, according to a 2011 study in The Lancet.

More than 12 percent of defibrillators were implanted in people

Flagrant error CLARKSTON WRITER SALUTES THE TRUE CREATORS OF THE STARS AND STRIPES

By JULIE BRESLIN • JBRESLIN@LMTRIBUNE.COM

> ROBERT L. LOEFFELBEIN

ven in a valley that bleeds red-whiteand-blue, longtime Clarkston resident Robert Loeffelbein stands out as unusually patriotic.

Not because he wears a stars-andstripes necktie, but because he wrote the book on why that tie should never be worn. Flagthemed apparel, earrings and bedspreads violate flag etiquette, and by extension the memory of those who died defending Old Glory (see Page 76 of “The United States Flagbook”).

Published in 1996, Loeffelbein’s book never hit the New York Times’ best-sellers list.

But it does carry some serious intellectual creds. It’s part of the Smithonian’s library collection, where it can be checked out by museum staff — a fact verified

by Trina Brown, a branch librarian at the National Museum of American History Library.

“I can confirm that we have a copy of Mr. Loeffelbein’s book (library catalog record) in the National Museum of American History Library,” Brown wrote in an email. “It is currently checked out to a museum staff member, so Write Here will it is being used by someone here run periodically, at the Smithsonian.” highlighting the Not to be outdone by the Smith, work of regional Asotin County Library also writers. Those carries Loffelbein’s flag tribinterested in ute, which can be borrowed by contributing patrons in good standing with a excerpts from their published swipe of their VALNet library book(s) may card. It also may be purchased on contact Golden Amazon by those who want the Times editor book in their private collection.

Julie Breslin at Loeffelbein was inspired to (208) 848-2241 write the book after reading reor jbreslin@ lmtribune.com. ports that Betsy Ross was falsely credited with designing the modern U.S. flag. He was a quartermaster in the Navy at the time and greatly surprised by the statement, having heard Ross lauded since grade school.

Eventually, he decided to track down the flag’s true origins. Along the way, he collected myriad facts about flag code and the colorful history of the U.S. flag. The quest morphed into his book. Dedicated “To those who have served our flag, even unto death,” it

HOMETOWN: Wenatchee. “The little house I was born in is still there,” he said, but “it’s not the nice little town I used to know.”

YEARS IN CLARKSTON: More than 20 FAMILY: Adopted dog, Red Sox. “I’ve outlived my whole family down to about second cousins, I believe.”

A brief wartime marriage is dismissed with a wave of the hand. “That was a bad deal.”

After retirement he moved to Clarkston, where his parents May and Roy Loeffelbein were ailing.

Cancer claimed his sister and eventually his mother, whom he describes as “stubborn,” beating the disease twice to live to age 99½.

After his dad died, he moved in to help his mom, but “she went to bed and wouldn’t get up, wouldn’t eat,” he said. “She just gave up on life. I talked to a doctor once, who said that’s very common.

“That was a hellish time — there’s nothing you can do.”

Roy Loeffelbein was well-known locally, where he had worked the automotive department of Ward’s.

“Dad was one of the best salesmen I ever met,” Bob Loeffelbein said.

EDUCATION: He attended or taught at eight colleges, including Lewis-Clark State College, Washington State University, the U.S. Naval academy and Stanford. He earned a bachelor’s education in recreation leadership from Central Washington University in Ellensburg and a master’s degree in recreation management at the University of Oregon.

“I had about six years on the Navy (GI bill), and so I used it to the ultimate. That was a good deal for a lot of guys who would otherwise never have gone to college.”

CAREER:  Author of books and magazine articles  Recreation director  Journalism, physical education and recreation management teacher at the high school and college level and with the Navy  Sailor: He served with the Navy’s amphibious warfare division in World War II and was a quartermaster navigator when he was called up for Korea.

“They needed navigators, and I figured I’d be on a ship somewhere, and next think I knew, I was on a Naval air station on Maui running swimming pools.”

Really Old Glory: What to do with dilapidated flags > IF YOU GO WHAT: Flag retirement ceremonies WHEN AND WHERE:

l 4:30 p.m. June 14 at the Lewiston Elks Lodge No. 896, 344 Country Club Drive l 10 a.m. June 21 at Lewiston VFW Post No. 10043, 1104 Warner Ave. FLAG DROP BOXES: Located at posts in Lewiston and Clarkston (829 15th St.)

If

your flag has seen better days, now is a good time to think about retiring it.

Two flag retirement ceremonies are planned in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley. The first, sponsored by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Alice Whitman Chapter and the Clarkston High School Junior ROTC, is set for Flag Day, June 14, at the Lewiston Elks Lodge. The second, organized

by local veterans, will take place June 21 at the Lewiston Veterans of Foreign Wars post (see sidebar for details).

The posts have drop boxes where they’ve been collecting aging flags all year.

“We’ve probably got close to 1,000 right now,” said Gus Budach, commander of the Clarkston Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 1443. “Right now I have two 32-gallon trash cans (full of flags) ready to be destroyed — that’s just my post.”

At the June 21 ceremony, “we have two or three fire barrels, and that’s where we dispose of (flags) correctly,” he said.

Burning that many flags “takes a good two or three hours — maybe longer, depending on how big of a crew we get,” he said, so citizens are welcome to drop off faded or torn flags at any time during that window of time and watch the ceremony.

Writing some wrongs FLAG Clarkston author’s specialty is history and research writing

By JULIE BRESLIN JBRESLIN@LMTRIBUNE.COM

W

ell into his retirement years, Robert Loeffelbein keeps busy writing.

He has eight books in print, including his flag book (see the main story, Pages 12-13) and “Knight Life: Jousting in the United States,” which he recently learned has achieved cult collector status.

“This isn’t jousting man-against-man,” Loeffelbein said, but a niche sport still popular on the eastern seaboard that involves galloping student riders spearing little rings. Six states still participate in national tournaments in Washington, D.C. The book originally sold “for $8 or something,” he said. Last week, used copies were selling for between $39 and $118 on Amazon. com. He wishes he were collecting the proceeds.

Current writing projects include a book on the history of scams — they are by no means a new invention, he notes — and a humorous take on the history of baseball. “How rules have been changed and why,” he said. “At one time, a batter could come up and call where he wanted the ball to be pitched to him, and if they didn’t pitch it there, it was a ball.”

Pre-retirement jobs ran the gamut from grueling to pretty posh.

His favorite was serving as an instructor on the ground floor of the College of the Seven Seas program, in which students earned credits while studying at sea.

“I got paid for traveling around the world,”

Golden Times/Barry Kough

Bob Loeffelbein of Clarkston has written a comprehensive book about the United States flag — its care, use, history and who really designed it.

Loeffelbein said.

“Now, that failed after about two years. The people running it were academics … not people who know how to use or get money.”

But the concept led to spinoffs, including the current Semester Afloat and University of the Seven Seas programs, which have a more limited scope. Students travel to a single destination instead of all over the world, but with far better accommodations.

“Instead of the revised ferry boat that we were on, it’s now a fancy cruise boat,” he said.

On the other end of the spectrum, “the hardest two jobs I did were summer jobs,” he said.

One was a task no one else wanted: setting up concrete in metal braces used to form well tubes.

“All day, you’d go around pounding sand,” Loeffelbein said. “For a kid, summer job, it was OK money … I don’t think we even made a dollar an hour — it might’ve been a dollar and a quarter.”

“The union didn’t want to do it (hire students), but all the men, they overruled them, because they hated that job.”

The other job that sticks with him was working at a cold storage plant for an outfit that sold frozen vegetables.

“You’re pushing these 80-pound boxes over your head into these stacks. I was in the best shape of my life at the end of the summer,” he recalled. “But I got some frostbite on my hands and feet, so when it gets cold now, it’s murder.”
