Seniors need to be cautious when donating Charities often target certain groups of people when soliciting donations. Those groups may include past donors and people who have recently attended charitable fundraisers. Such an approach can be very effective. It should come as no surprise that criminals posing as legitimate organizations tend to target specific groups of people as well. Anyone can be fooled by a fraudulent charity, but such criminals tend to target seniors more than others. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, seniors often make attractive targets to con artists because seniors are most likely to have substantial savings, own their homes and/or have excellent credit. In addition, the FBI notes that elderly victims of fraud and other crimes are less likely to report those crimes out of fear that their families may feel they are no longer able to take care of themselves or manage their own finances. There are steps seniors can take to protect themselves from fraud. • Be skeptical of solicitors. Many con artists will indicate that persons have given to the charity in the past, hoping that prospective victims simply won’t remember if that claim is valid or not. If a solicitor or appeal letter claims that you donated in the past, don’t simply take it at face value, especially if you don’t recall making such a donation. Get specific information about alleged past donations, checking that information against your own bank records and receipts. Many donors claim donations as deductions on their tax returns, which also can be used to verify or debunk solicitors’ claims. Though not all solicitors claiming a past history of donations are dishonest, this

is one way that criminals attempt to create a rapport with potential victims, so such claims should be verified before making any donations. • Don’t feel obligated to reciprocate a gift with a donation. Many charities send gifts, be it mailing labels or holiday cards, to prospective donors as a token of appreciation for past donations and as a way of encouraging future donations. Con artists are fully aware of this tactic and may try to imitate it in an attempt to defraud potential victims. No matter if the people behind those mailing labels or holiday ornaments are legitimate charities or con artists, you should not feel compelled to reciprocate a free gift

with a financial donation. • Beware of solicitors pressuring you to donate. Reputable charities should not be on the verge of shut down if you fail to make a donation, so such organizations never pressure prospective donors into making donations. If a solicitor is pressuring you into making a donation over the phone or in person, chances are strong that this person is not representing a reputable charity. In such instances, hang up the phone or, if the solicitor is on your property, politely close the door, ask the solicitor to leave your property and contact the local authorities. • Send donations directly to the charity after independently confirming their address. When making charitable donations, those donations should never be given directly to solicitors. Donations should only be made after you have independently confirmed the charity’s address and mailed straight to the organization. Never make a cash donation, as cash provides no paper trail should you want to deduct your donation or should you learn that you were victimized by a con artist posing as a representative of a reputable charity. • Request personal information not be shared. Upon receiving a charitable donation, many charities share their donors’ contact information with other charities. Such actions are legal as long as no sensitive information is shared. But many donors would prefer their contact information not be shared so they don’t find themselves being inundated with solicitations from other charities. Donors can ask to opt out of having their personal information shared upon making a donation. This is especially important for seniors living on fixed incomes.

PRMC Senior Circle a great destination BY JAN PARSONS PRMC SENIOR CIRCLE
Payson Regional Medical Center’s Senior Circle has a wide variety of programs to meet the needs of young, active seniors. Senior Circle is a nationwide organization that promotes health and wellness among people 50 years of age and over. “We promote health and wellness through education, exercise and social activity,” says Jan Parsons, Senior Circle adviser. HEALTH EDUCATION
One of the more popular events at Senior Circle are the Lunch and Learns. Local doctors talk about health issues or new services that are offered at Payson Regional Medical Center. Some of the more well attended sessions have recently included Dr. Toby Paulson speaking about peripheral vascular disease; Dr. Katharine Raymer speaking on colon health; and Dr. Michael Darnell speaking on arthritis. Coming up on Dec. 10, Dr. Paul Gilbert will be speaking about sepsis. A light lunch is offered free of charge. Reservations are required and can be made by calling (928) 472-9290. “We try to keep the programs varied and offer topics that are of interest to people our age,” says Parsons. Other health events include a diabetic education group that meets on the last Monday of the month. Diabetic education instructor John Hancock, RN, facilitates the group. There are also two grief support groups: the Widowed Women’s Grief Support Group, led by Janine Neilson, bereavement coordinator, which meets the first Thursday of each month at 9:30 a.m.; and the Lost Loves Support Group, which is geared toward anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide, facilitated by Bits
Siller, the group also meets on the first Thursday of the month at 4 p.m. The PRMC Senior Circle also hosts the 12 step Rim Country Women’s AA meeting every Tuesday at 3 p.m. Fresenius holds a kidney dialysis outreach training on the second Tuesday of each month for those who have been diagnosed with kidney failure. The program is referral based and educates attendees about home dialysis. Members also receive a quarterly Senior Circle Magazine and a Circle news magazine. Additionally, health periodicals are sent via smartphone or email. EXERCISE
Senior Circle has a number of exercise programs to meet the needs of members — no matter what shape they are in. Popular instructor Tom Quirk teaches Tai Chi on Monday and Thursday at 9 a.m. Tai Chi is a slow meditative movement that both relaxes and strengthens. Some versions can be practiced while seated, making it helpful for those with arthritis and mobility issues. Another exercise class that can be done seated or standing is Feeling Fit. This class is held on Tuesday and Friday at 10 a.m. and is the more standard form of exercise. Senior Circle also offers Line Dancing every Friday at 11 a.m. and Ballroom Dancing, led by Dee Force, at 3 p.m. on Thursdays. One of the most popular offerings at Senior Circle is the partnership with the Tonto Apache Gym. For $55 a quarter, you can enjoy all of the offerings at the gym; water aerobics, sauna and steam rooms, jacuzzi, weight room and aerobic exercise room. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

A little planning never hurt anyone. It’s actually more distressing to think about what could happen without Advance Funeral Planning.

At Messinger Payson Funeral Home we are dedicated to guiding our families through every step of the Pre-Planning process. The wants and needs of the families we serve are our sole focus — and it’s our primary goal to make it as helpful and simple as possible.

Memory screenings may slow memory loss BY CHRISTY VANDERMOLEN PAYSON CARE CENTER
Payson Care Center recently provided free memory screenings to Payson seniors concerned about memory issues. Memory screenings are a significant first step toward finding out if a person may have a memory problem. Kathy Vance, a licensed social worker with a master’s degree in social work administered the test. Kathy is one of two social workers employed at Payson Care Center. While a memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a qualified physician or other health care professional, it is very helpful. A screening can check a person’s memory and other thinking skills. It can indicate if someone might benefit from a more complete medical visit. Some memory problems can be readily treated, such as those caused by vitamin deficiencies or thyroid problems. Other memory problems might result from causes that are not currently reversible, such as Alzheimer’s disease. In general, the earlier the diagnosis, the easier it is to treat one of these conditions. Early recognition of mild cognitive impairment — mild mem-

ory loss that may eventually lead to dementia — provides an opportunity for health care professionals to treat this condition and possibly slow down the changes in memory and other
thinking skills. A memory screening is a simple and safe evaluation tool that checks these skills. A screening consists of a series of questions, sometimes combined with
tasks, designed to test memory, language skills, thinking ability and other intellectual functions. The person who gives the screening will review the results with the individual. Individuals with a below normal score or those with a normal score but who still have concerns, should follow up with a qualified health care professional. Keys to successful aging that prevent the loss of brain cells, maintain the brain’s capacity to make up for any loss and let remaining brain cells function well include: • Regular visits to your doctor or health care professional • Follow a healthy diet and take vitamins as discussed with your doctor • Exercise daily, such as walking 30 minutes a day • Control your hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, lower cholesterol and quit smoking • Participate in activities that stimulate your brain, such as reading, crossword puzzles and learning new skills • Be social • Manage stress • Treat depression • Limit alcohol consumption If you are interested in scheduling a free memory screening please call (928) 951-2305 to be notified of Payson Care Center’s next testing date.
Great Christmas gift idea, with a great cause BY CHRISTY VANDERMOLEN PAYSON CARE CENTER
LaVaun Schultz has been a homemaker and avid seamstress all her adult life. She is also the mother of Lisa Schultz, director of rehab at Payson Care Center. Years ago, Lisa asked her mom if she could make much-needed walker bags for her physical therapy clients. The walker bags were a huge hit and LaVaun sewed
and distributed more than 100 bags. The walker bags, now distributed through Payson Care Center, can be custom made using a fabric that interests the walker user. Examples are prints used in making the bags: camo, birds, flowers, cars, books, cats, dogs, horses, etc. More than 20 samples are already available at the Payson Care Center. The cost for a walker bag is $25. A portion of the cost will go toward local charities.

If a picture’s worth 1,000 words; this one says it all BY CHRISTY VANDERMOLEN PAYSON CARE CENTER
Payson Care Center photo
Payson Care Center nurses Dave Cordaro and Deb Bassett make a really great team.
The adage “A picture is worth a thousand words” refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image. “When I took this picture, I wasn’t sure if I liked it, but then I realized it really does capture and convey (the essence of) these two individuals,” said Christy VanderMolen. Big man plus tiny woman equals a great team! Dave Cordaro and Deb Bassett are one of Payson Care Center’s best skilled nursing teams. Together they serve the Payson Care Center patients on the short-term rehab unit. Dave, the biggest, nicest, friendliest, warmest guy you could imagine and Deb, the tiny,
caring, detailed, in charge woman have been repeatedly praised by the patients they serve. Deb is known to educate family members on the continuing needs of the patients after discharge to home and is both inspiring and encouraging. Dave’s calm approach has been reported to make patients feel safe and secure under his care. Both Dave and Deb have won Payson Care Center’s “whatever it takes award” for outstanding care and going above and beyond. This team is one of the biggest reasons Payson Care Center can claim to provide exceptional care to the patients they serve.

How seniors are staying connected For seniors, keeping in touch with friends, family and caregivers is important to maintain an active social life and remain independent. The number of seniors — and the need to find creative ways to be mindful of their care — is on the rise. With nearly 7 million Americans providing support as long-distance caregivers, according to the National Institute on Aging, staying in touch is especially important. Nurture relationships Email, cell phones and texting are some of the ways technology is helping people stay connected today. These tools can be especially useful for seniors living away from friends and family or for those who aren’t able to travel as much as they used to. One affordable option is a complete phone system, such as VTech CareLine, which has no monthly fee. Offering a wearable pendant, one-button or voice-activated dialing, big buttons and volume booster, CareLine has features designed with seniors in mind.

Caring for an elderly relative at home Decisions about providing care for an aging loved one are seldom easy. Various options exist in terms of elder care, including assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Seniors who are self-sufficient may be able to stay in a retirement community or active living building. In other instances, the best course of action is to have an elderly relative move in with family members. According to Dr. Nancy Snyderman, who recently took on the role of caregiver to her own senior parents, 44 million American adults are caring for an older friend or family member. MetLife estimates that nearly 10 million adult children over age 50 now care for an aging parent. Care is defined as helping with feeding, bathing, dressing, and other personal care needs, going beyond driving a parent to appointments or helping them with financial matters. Taking care of a senior requires a profound commitment and can completely disrupt a person’s life, both at home and at work. Men and women faced with caring for an aging parent at home may want to employ several strategies to make that transition go as smoothly as possible. • Talk to the senior about your options. Making decisions together will be best for everyone involved. It can be challenging to discuss mortality and whether or not elderly parents or relatives can properly care for themselves. Broach the subject well in advance of making any plans so you will have some understanding of how the senior feels about the situation and what would make him or her most comfortable. Your parents may already have a plan in place.

Caring for an elderly relative at home should be approached with thought and conversations.
• Establish a caregiving budget. Caring for the elderly is expensive. MetLife says working Americans lose an estimated $3 trillion in lifetime wages, with average losses of $324,044 for women and $283,716 for men, taking time to provide care. Before a senior can be welcomed into your home, you must first determine which financial changes must be made to accommodate this person. Will a parent be contributing to a portion of the expenses or paying rent? Is it feasible for you to reduce hours at work to care for this individual? Once you have the numbers in black and white, you can better assess your situation. • Make physical modifications.

Your home may not be equipped and safe for an elderly resident. You may need to add a private space for your parent or relative, and install night lights, secured railings, grab bars, ramps, a shower chair, and anti-slip surfaces. You may need to build an extension on the home or completely renovate what you have to make the space safe. • Aim for stability. Moving and changing routines can be especially stressful for seniors who are used to their own schedules and habits. Transfer furniture and mementos from their home into yours. Encourage seniors to maintain a social schedule and invite friends over. Try to help your loved one keep his or her doctors and, if possible, take them to shop where they have shopped in the past. These opportunities will make the transition to a new home easier. • Discuss finances. It’s essential to understand your loved one’s financial situation. Make lists of his or her assets and any insurance policies in his or her name. Understand which health procedures are covered and discuss ways to finance any procedures or medications that are not covered by your loved one’s policy. Ask if your loved one wants you to manage his or her finances or when he or she may feel this is necessary. Professional help, such as an attorney, financial planner or a geriatric care manager, can make it easier to understand the legalities and subtleties of these arrangements. • Make time for yourself. Caring for the elderly can seem like a full-time job, and it’s easy to forget yourself in the process. Make time for yourself so your own health is not sacrificed while you tend to your loved one.

Tips for a flu free winter Spending significant time in close proximity to others indoors can make people more susceptible to the flu. As a result, winter, when people typically spend more time indoors than outdoors, is often dominated by the sniffling and sneezing synonymous with the flu. But men and women can take steps to protect themselves from the flu this season. • Get a flu shot. Most flu shots contain an inactive virus that will not make you sick, but will trigger your body’s immune system response to a foreign invader. It can take a couple of weeks for full immunity to develop. Also, a flu shot does not guarantee you won’t get the flu. People can still get the flu after receiving a flu shot, as it may be another strain of the virus. But flu shots are largely effective. • Avoid sick people. When those around you are sick, it is best to keep your distance, especially when those people have the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that people with the flu can spread it to others up to six feet away. This is why doctors recommend that anyone who has the flu stay home from work or school until they are fully recovered. • Get plenty of rest and good food. Adequate sleep and a healthy diet can bolster your immune system. It’s important to stay hydrated, eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and prioritize getting a good night’s sleep each night. • Beware of homeopathic remedies. Always check with a doctor before adding any natural remedies to your flu-fighting repertoire. While some supplements like elderberry syrup, zinc and oscillococcinum can mitigate symptoms of the flu, there’s no solid evidence that these items offer any preventative value. Homeopathic remedies also can interfere with medications or may be dangerous to a developing fetus, so do not take these substances without first checking with a doctor.
