Flying in the face of aging Senior ‘techie’ is plugged in By Peter Jones Many older adults are dumbfounded by a newfangled world of the Internet, email and phones that are often smarter than their owners. Ron Cox is not one of them, however. While many of his neighbors at the Inn at Greenwood Village retirement community were playing cards, the 71-year-old former engineer was singlehandedly building a $2,000 computerized camera-equipped drone. “I put the components together. Of course, there’s a lot of technology in this with the GPS,” he said. “I bought the frame first, and then I said, what kind of flight-control system do I want? So I got the very best at the time.” Cox’s most frequent flight path has been his regular pre-programmed jaunt around the perimeter of the senior-living community that he and wife have called home for four years. “It’ll just keep going around and around until I flick a button,” he said. The resulting professionalquality video, synched to an electric blues soundtrack, has caught the attention of the management of Inn at Greenwood Village, which plans to enlist Cox’s dronevideo prowess for marketing purposes after a major landscaping project is completed this year. Although Cox had no particular vision for his golden years when he retired from General Motors in 2001, the engineer knew technology would play a bigger role than golf or bingo.

The wonder of gadgetry had been a part of Cox’s life since he was a farm kid growing up in rural Iowa. As one might imagine, it all began with a ham radio in 1956. “I was way beyond CB radios when CB radios came out [in the 1970s],” he said, noting the expansive radio system that still the fills the back end of his truck. Too independent for a career in the Air Force, Cox would pursue technology in the private sector and eventually land a job with General Motors.
“I started my career developing secret monitoring systems and then we got into bank systems. Then I got into automotive engineering,” he said. “When the Clean Air Act was enacted and Denver had a smog problem, they assigned me the most important project they had at the time, which was emission-control systems.” Cox’s long-held love for flying model airplanes is what eventually led him to his passion for drone craft and remote-control helicopters.
Just Like Home but you are not alone Share your day with friends, participate in enriching activites, and rely on caring associates to support your changing needs over time.
In his spare time, he has also assembled a $10,000 computerized telescope. “I can take pictures of the Orion Nebula in the wintertime. Exposures are under 30 seconds and they’re fabulous pictures,” Cox said. When the septuagenarian techie has had his fill of the sky and things that fly in it, he is often following his passion for hybrid vehicles or operating a weather station he maintains on top of the Inn at Greenwood Village. “We’ve had six inches of rain so far this year – actually 5.99,” he said. The sometime videographer has even found time to produce extensive family histories – in book and video form – for himself and fellow residents and has built a documentary around footage he shot years ago at President Kennedy’s funeral. He has even made film-trailer spoofs, coupling innocuous footage of a hat show at the retirement home with ominous music and graphics. “It’s a phase I went through,”
he laughed. When Cox needs a break from technology, he is often tending an herb garden for the Inn’s chef or raising captive butterflies in the backyard. Before long, he is back as the Inn’s unofficial IT expert, helping fellow residents with their PC and Apple computers, or assisting staff with the Wi-Fi system. Cox concedes that his love of technology has not been cheap, but says his wife, Janis, has gradually gotten used to it. “I’ve got so many expensive hobbies, she’s expecting it,” Cox said with a smile. “They used to say, if you’re an executive at General Motors, you’re going to be a millionaire. Well, it didn’t quite turn out for me, but I made a run at it.”

Caring for your parents Submitted by Home Care Assistance of Centennial o to a dinner party or the gym and you are sure to hear of someone fretting about their parent’s health and well being. The amount of adult children caring for their parents has reached more than 44 million. In addition, many are caring for their parents while raising their own children, hence the term “sandwich generation.” The majority of the adult children are women, taking on the traditional role of caring. The only difference is the resources and support one finds in caring for their children are harder to find when caring for our parents. Instead many adult children muddle through the day-to-day realities putting band-aids on where they can and handling crises as they arise. We are living in a different time where people are living longer than ever before with more health ailments. Many women did not have role models in caring for the elderly like they had in caring for children. It can seem daunting. The worst part is many of our parents don’t want our help or don’t want to be a bother. Their need for independence is vital and never did they think they would be leaning on their children for support. It becomes important to first come to terms with the idea of role reversal, in many instances; you become the parents to your parents. The psychologi-
G
cal impact is not to be taken lightly. For many of us, we have never seen our parents so vulnerable. The pain of watching them deteriorate is real. In many instances, old wounds begin to re-emerge. Sibling rivalries flare up. Instead of seeing this as an extra burden, this can be a wonderful time to heal those wounds and deepen the relationship with one’s parents and siblings. Take time to speak with a friend or therapist of the feelings arising. Join a support group for adult children caring for their parents. Have family meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page. The truth be known, most of us will be caring for an older adult some time in our life, whether we like it or not. To prepare it is important to begin gathering information. One of the best places to start is the Denver Regional Council of Government, which is the local Area Agency on Aging for the Denver metro area and oversees all the state and federal programs on aging. Other resources are available at Alzheimer’s Association, which provides education information and support groups for any form of dementia. Many local senior centers provide classes and support groups for adult children caring for your parents. Remember, you are not alone, but one of more than 44 million people caring for your parents.

2014 Toyota Avalon St. Andrew’s Village ‘the premier choice’ for senior living Hybrid Limited is a smart choice By H. Throttle The Toyota Avalon has been a favorite for a number of drivers down though recent years. Sleek in appearance and affordable quality in a fourdoor sedan. The new Avalon Hybrid Limited brings the standard “Synergy Drive” system that runs the car partially on battery power with an eight-year, 100,000 miles warranty on the hybrid system. The silence when starting the vehicle takes some adjustment, as the car operates on battery power only. Starting and stopping the vehicle recharges the battery. The combination of the battery and 2.5 L engine provides an amazing 40-mpg of fuel economy with plenty of power from both systems. The technology is becoming better and the shift from battery power to engine is almost undetectable. Craftsmanship is perfection
and the cypress pearl paint makes this a very modern appearing vehicle loaded with standard accessories with a delivery price of $44,160. The 2014 Avalon has the new SST system that will stop you from rear-ending a vehicle in most cases. If you’re texting, or dialing the radio, the radar system will react in your favor to stop the car. The new braking systems on the fleet of Toyota and Lexus products are outstanding. The new brakes include “regenerative braking” that adds to the solid assist brakes. No doubt the brakes are stronger due to the additional weight of the battery system on the tires and suspension. The 10-way driver’s seat and an 11-speaker sound system leave the driver surrounded by leather-trimmed seating. The Avalon is a smart choice for those seeking the luxury of a larger car, the hybrid feature for economy, and the addition many safety features.

Submitted by Vonnie Brewer I perhaps have had a rather unique experience at St. Andrew’s Village. For five years, I was the life enrichment coordinator, I moved my mother into our assisted living community, retired two years ago and a year ago came back part-time as a residency counselor in the marketing department. I can say that from all my experiences, it is a community that has a very supportive and resident-oriented management team, an exceptionally qualified and genuinely caring staff, and wonderfully diverse and welcoming residents. As the life enrichment coordinator, I had the pleasure of getting to know residents in all of our levels of care as we have independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care and a rehabilitation center. While planning activities that I hoped would be fulfilling to the residents, I always felt like they enriched my life on a daily bases. I guess I did not realize that until I retired and left for a year. Having a parent here gave me a
whole different prospective, of the community and the staff. My mother was very active when she first moved in to St. Andrew’s and as the life enrichment coordinator it could be at times a bit of a challenge as she had her own ideas of what the activity department should be doing. The

staff was always very supportive of her ideas for change as she could be very vocal. As the years went on, she needed to be in the rehabilitation center for a time. The staff was wonderful at keeping me updated of her condition. When mother could no longer read, which she loved to do, the director of assisted living would take time out of her busy day to read to her. So from a family member’s prospective, I could not have asked for better care. So if you are looking for a community that has an exceptionally caring staff, activities that are as varied as the interests of our residents, is safe, secure and beautifully appointed, come for a visit as it would be our pleasure to tour you.

3 tips for choosing an assistedliving home for your parent Mike Heflebower
Talking about death and why it’s important Heflebower Funeral Services ensures topnotch care
Submitted by Mike Heflebower Talking about death and funerals is usually not at the top of the list for conversations at dinner parties. This is a subject that no one wants to discuss in any way. There is apathy toward the whole death “thing.” The most difficult part of talking about funerals and dying is that it brings the inevitable close to home. For as much as none of us want to deal with it, all of us will experience this part of life in a personal way some time or another. This is not a topic to dwell on or fret over. It is just a reality; it is life in the realest sense. Are there pieces of death that should be considered before that time arises for you or your family? Absolutely there are! Even in apathy there are emotions. These emotions can guide your judgments and choices.
With that, we at Heflebower Funeral Services would like to share the top 10 things families feel they need from their funeral provider. A caring attitude, personalization of the services, a comfortable environment for the family, going the extra mile, feeling special, exceptional service, not feeling pressured, a personal connection, a service celebration, and peace of mind. That sure sounds like a great list of attributes and services you should expect from a funeral home. These are actual statements from families we have had the honor to serve. This is an important list when the time comes and you must chose who you should trust to handle your loved one. Consider all these families’ emotions, before and when those times come for you and your family. We are available at any time to visit with you and your family regarding final choices and arrangements. The “value” placed in these emotions is “priceless.”
Expert also shares biggest mistake you can make
Seventy percent of people age 65 and older will need long-term care at some point in their lives, according to a 2014 study by CareScout, a division of Genworth Financial Services. “But that doesn’t mean they have to sacrifice their quality of life,” said Peder Johnsen, CEO of Concordis Senior Living, which owns, operates and develops senior housing communities. “In fact, a person who needs some assistance with day-to-day living will often find he or she is much happier in a good assisted-living community with an atmosphere that reminds them of their former home.” And it doesn’t have to be outrageously priced, notes Johnsen, a third-generation assisted living facility (ALF) operator whose family pioneered the contemporary congregate community model. The median price for a private, one-bed home in an assisted living community is $42,000, he says, citing the CareScout report. By contrast, a semi-private nursing home bed costs a median $77,000 a year. But it’s up to prospective residents and their families to ascertain the quality of the community and whether it’s a good match for the person who will be living there. “ALFs are not federally regulated and states vary widely on the breadth of oversight they provide, so you can’t necessarily rely on the law,” Johnsen said. “And don’t rely on salespeople either – that’s the biggest mistake people make.”

Family matters

Let ours take care of yours
“What if I can’t afford the funeral?” A funeral is not the time to worry about cost and we know that. That is why we offer a wide range of realistic and affordable options. We can create a meaningful service within a budget that is comfortable for you. It is what you have in your heart that matters, not what’s in your wallet.
Here are important tips on finding the perfect assistedliving home for your parents. There are, however, a number of easy ways to see if a home has a truly caring atmosphere and welltrained staff. • Ask to see the home’s state licensing survey, an assessment that usually includes inspections, audits, interviews with residents, etc. Every state has an ALF licensing agency and all have some form of survey system for ensuring that certain standards of quality are met, according to the Assisted Living Federation of America. “Requirements vary from state to state about how often the surveys are conducted and how the public can access the reports, but no matter what state you live in, you should be able to ask the ALF for its most recent report, or obtain it from the licensing agency,” Johnsen said. The surveys will tell you if problems were found – or not – and what the ALF did to address them. • Visit the ALF during nonbusiness hours. Go before breakfast or after dinner – times when the administrators aren’t around.
What’s the atmosphere? How do employees behave with the residents? “That’s a good time to talk to residents, too,” Johnsen said. Be a “mystery shopper,” he suggests. Pretend you’re just visiting the community – not scouting it out as a prospective customer. • Ascertain how truly “homelike” the community is. In your own home, if you don’t feel like eating breakfast at 7:30 a.m., you don’t have to. You can have breakfast at 10 a.m. You can get snacks when you want them. “Depending on what’s important to your loved one, there are potentially many rules that can affect how ‘at home’ a person feels,” Johnsen said. “Some communities allow residents to have pets, others don’t. Some provide lots of activities. At some, residents can quickly and easily arrange for transportation or a service like hair styling.” Not every community can offer everything, he notes. That’s why it’s important to look for those features that are especially important to your loved one.
