SENIORS WEEK 2016

Baby Boomers are working hard to remain active and eat healthy so they can hold onto their independence and quality of life for as long as possible. But as the first members of this demographic turn 70 this year, personal care homes are preparing for an influx of residents who have different requirements than the generation before them. – GET T Y IMAGES

THE BABY BOOMERS ARE COMING! M I K E S H I PL AC K

See the date on the top corner of today’s newspaper? Now ask yourself, “How much time do a I have until I’m 80?” If how little time there is surprises you, then there’s a good chance you’re a baby boomer (born between 1946 and 1964). This means that by 2026 you could be living in the last place you’ll call home.

Good news is there will be WiFi and robots — well, potentially robots.

For the last 10 years, elder care communities across the country and right here in Saskatchewan have been building towards welcoming the biggest and most affluent generation ever to live on planet Earth. And the organizations behind these communities are rolling out the red carpet.

And by red carpet, I mean independence and choice.

“People want to have more choice,” explains Vivienne Hauck,

chief executive officer for Luther Care Communities for the past nine years. “Right now we are dealing with a majority of people that had to make do with very little, so they are appreciative for anything and everything you do for them.

Our expectation — and I am within that baby boomer era — and my personal opinion is that expectations will be higher.”

American TV journalist, Tom Brokaw called those who grew up in the Depression the Greatest Generation for a reason. Not only did they end the Second World War, but they also spent a lifetime avoiding a third one. According to Hauck, they are now working harder than ever to remain active and eat healthy so they can hold onto their independence and quality of life for as long as possible.

Offering independence within care homes isn’t a new phenomenon. When Luther Care opened its first building in Saskatoon in the

1970s, freedom of choice was part of the Luther Tower design. Every unit was built with a kitchen, and, even today, Luther Care still only offers a limited meal service.

As people’s needs change, they are moved to extended care homes within the same building, so they can still be part of the community.

This is a trend that will continue as baby boomers begin to move into these established communities.

But there will be differences.

“We find that with our new facility that is currently being built, it is the larger suites that have gone first, and the smaller ones are left.

People are downsizing but do not want a 650-square-foot home — more like 8, 9 or even 1,300 square feet. That is really a change that we’ve noticed in the last five to 10 years,” says Hauck.

“The basic services that we provided way back in ‘78 have not changed, we have just enhanced them… what we’re anticipating is

that people will want more services. They will want to have a glass of wine with their meal; they will want to have a cappuccino. And we’ve planned for these types of services in our new building. We even have a communal barbecue and patio area, and all the suites have their own deck.”

As senior homes become larger, they also come with more options such as en suite laundry areas, and parking is at the top of the list. So don’t be surprised if there is a waiting list for parking.

However, technology will be the real game changer. “We have Wi-Fi in all of our buildings in the common areas, and in our new building, it’s right in our suites. That is something that wouldn’t have been thought about 10 years ago,” says Hauck.

“I also think that the development in the field of robotics in the next 10 years will impact some of the services that we will be able to

offer in senior housing. I envision, that people will have their own personal robotic assistant to provide care. I’ve often thought about that, and I’ve seen places in the U.S. where they are now using robotics to assist in certain services,” she adds.

A quick Google search of “robots senior living” corroborates her story. Robots may be used for may services, including delivering food and medications, socializing and playing games, and performing simple cleaning tasks for seniors.

Regardless of whether you are a baby boomer, generation X, Y or a Millennial — whether the decision is yours or it is made for you — living out the last of your days in a care home is a real possibility.

So, when it’s time to make the move, the real struggle for independence will come down to a combination of health and wealth. It’s best to start saving now — just like the greatest generation did.

Cost of ambulance may prevent seniors from dialling 911 M I K E S H I PL AC K

Universal health care means different things to different people.

The majority of Canadians know that, when they are sick or injured, they will be taken care of at a clinic or emergency room at no cost. For some, though, the biggest hurdle to receiving health care arises before they even reach the health care facility — with ambulance fees, which are often paid out of pocket, even by those on limited incomes.

That’s why the Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism (SSM) is trying to change things — not only for seniors, but for all Saskatchewan residents. “Ambulance fees need to be covered by our health care system,” says Holly Schick, who has been the executive director for SSM for the past seven years.

“Ideally for all people, but I think that for seniors and other vulnerable populations that are unable to pay, it’s more important for them.”

A non-profit organization, SSM represents various seniors’ organizations across the province that work together to contribute to a better quality of life for older adults. SSM currently represents 16 member organizations, such as the National Association of Federal Retirees, the Saskatchewan Union Retirees Federation and the Superannuated Teachers of Saskatchewan.

“We’ve had a chance to make government aware of the issue, but we haven’t had changes as of yet. I’ve got to say that, in terms of the government, they are willing to listen to our concerns, even though we don’t always see the results we might like,” said Schick.

SSM has passed two resolutions: one for the elimination of all ambulance fees for seniors, and the other for the elimination of ambulance fees to transfer patients — regardless of their age — from one facility to another. This includes the wait time of an ambulance during medical appointments and

tests, or when the patient is being transported to and from special medical vehicles like the STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society) helicopter. “In our opinion, no one should be charged for transfer between health facilities. That seems like a cost that shouldn’t be there for anyone,” says Schick.

Ambulance services in Saskatchewan can be costly. Basic services range from $245 to $325, there is a per kilometer rate for rural residents, wait time fees are between $50 to $100 per hour, and there is an additional special escort fee if a nurse, therapist or health professional is riding with you, Additional fees include Saskatchewan Air Ambulance at $385 per flight and STARS charges $385 per flight. Neither of these fees includes the cost of a ground ambulance that may deliver a patient to and/or from the special medical vehicle.

The government of Saskatchewan currently offers assistance programs for seniors, lower-

income families, and people who live in northern Saskatchewan to help cover the costs of ambulance fees. If you are over the age of 65, ambulance fees are capped at $275 per ambulance trip. Also, SGI and Worker’s Compensation cover ambulance costs, but only if it’s related to a workplace accident.

Unless seniors have health care benefits as part of their retirement package or pay for third party medical insurance, they could be on the hook for hundreds of dollars in case of an emergency. The reality is that some people avoid calling 911 if there is an emergency, because they simply can’t afford it.

“Many people are coming from jobs where there wasn’t a pension plan other than CPP, or there wasn’t additional health insurance that follows them after they retire.

There are not a lot of alternatives out there for people, so if you’re on a fixed income you have to make decisions. You’ll have to get the money from family or make decisions to do away with something

else,” explains Schick. “The fact is that for seniors in particular, they are on a fixed income and often can’t earn more due to health concerns. The pension is their income and that’s it. That could be a real concern for people.”

In Saskatchewan, the wellbeing of seniors falls under the Ministry of Health and is found specifically within the Community Care branch. As a unified voice that represents more than 100,000 seniors, SSM currently has quarterly meetings with the Community Care branch, and meets directly with the minister every six months.

Anyone can help make ambulance fees part of Saskatchewan’s universal health care system by making their views known to government by writing letters, for example.

G4G EMPOWERS AFRICAN GRANDMOTHERS

Gail Greenberg, chair the Regina Grandmothers for Grandmothers Sponsorship Committee, (left, wearing red shirt) takes part the South African march. S UPPL IED PHOT O A N D R EW L I V I N G S T O N E

When Stephen Lewis, the United Nations’ special envoy for HIV/ AIDS in Africa, spoke out in 2005 about the challenges faced by sub-Saharan grandmothers who were forced to fend for a generation of AIDS-orphaned children, grandmothers across Canada were inspired to organize in support of their African peers. Women like Orla Lockerbie and Sharon Maher of Saskatoon began to raise funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) and spread awareness of the issue, and thus began the Grandmothers 4 Grandmothers movement, which now boasts groups in Regina, Saskatoon, and throughout the country.

Claire Brown, current co-chair of the Saskatoon G4G group, said that two or three other groups across the country were similarly galvanized

by Lewis’ words, and, “When we had money, we went to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, and then they realized pairing up African grandmothers and Canadian grandmothers was a really good match.” Although the SLF would use the name Grandmothers “to” Grandmothers, the concept was the same. “They liked our name, but they didn’t want to just copy it.”

It was the SLF’s gathering of 100 African grandmothers in 2006 on the eve of the International AIDS Conference in Toronto that prompted grandmothers in Regina to take action, said Gail Greenberg, who sits on the G4G Regina executive as chair of its Sponsorship Committee.

By that time, the SLF was poised

to connect grandmothers who expressed an interest in the cause, and the Regina group quickly took form. “For many of us at the time, we were used to volunteerism of one sort or another — many of us in our own communities — and many of us were touched by what we saw, recognizing that we live in the ‘land of plenty,’” Greenberg said. “It started with a very small group of us and a commitment to doing some volunteer work that impacted on the international community.”

Prospective members need not have grandchildren or even be female, but Brown said that the majority of the organization’s membership is, “Women of a certain age.”

Since the movement began, the Regina group has raised just under $600,000, while the Saskatoon group has taken advantage of its head start to raise $627,000. In that time, both organizations have adopted increasingly effective and creative fundraising methods.

The Regina group held its Art from the Attic event on Sept. 17 at the Cathedral Neighbourhood Centre.

“It’s a huge job,” said Greenberg. For weeks, the organization had volunteers constantly travelling throughout the city to retrieve and price the donated art in order to orchestrate a successful event. “Last year, we got donations of 1,800 pieces of art, which have to be cleaned, and priced, and prepped, and then set out for a one-day sale, so it requires a tremendous amount of energy.”

Other annual events in Regina include the Scrabble for Africa and Jabula dinner fundraisers, which

will take place on Oct. 31 and Apr. 30 respectively.

Meanwhile, the Saskatoon group is preparing for its Fabric Sale fundraiser on Oct. 17 at St. Martin’s United Church. “It’s a big event for us,” said Brown. “They’ve donated fabric, and we sell it, and the money we raise goes to the Stephen Lewis Foundation … A lot of the people who buy it are buying it to use in some sort of charitable organization as well, so you’re giving twice.”

Following that, Saskatoon’s fundraising dinner will be on Mar. 3, its Art from the Attic will be on May 27, and members will be participating in the Stride to Turn

the Tide walks in June.

Brown said that these efforts are important because, rather than making African grandmothers dependent on donations, the money raised will help them to empower themselves. “The Stephen Lewis Foundation doesn’t give somebody a fish — they teach them how to fish …

These ideas aren’t told to the African people. They come up with the ideas because they know what’s going to work in those communities.”

This summer, Greenberg had the opportunity to confirm that for herself when the SLF arranged for her and several other Canadian members to visit Zambia, to see

examples of how their fundraising dollars are spent, and South Africa, to attend a gathering of grandmothers from across that country. “The one thing that resonates with me is that they’re grassroots organizations,” she said. “It makes it really real, and you come back thinking, ‘We’re going to keep doing this, because our job is to raise funds, and their job is to care for their kids and do everything else that they need to do in order to stay on top of the pandemic.’”

LIFELONG LEARNING TOBIE HAINSTOCK

Now that school has started for another year, it brings to mind the days of listening to the teachers talk about a variety of subjects. Exciting challenges always seemed to be looming around every corner.

As we grow older, we are more “seasoned” and life doesn’t necessarily hold as many surprises or mysteries as it once did. One of the ways that we can find enrichment is through continuous learning programs.

Here are some reasons why seniors are heading back to class: Seniors get to pick the topics that they want to learn. Educational choices are not focused on developing a career or completing a degree. This is the ideal time for studying topics that are of high interest.

Seniors have time to study.

During retirement there is time to crack open the books. There are no distractions such as a job or young family to take time away from studying.

Learning keeps the mind sharp. Many times retirees will find that they slow down intellectually because they don’t have the stimulation and challenge that comes with a regular job.

Learning keeps retirees engaged socially. Once retirement comes, many of those relationships dwindle. Being involved with a group of people who share your interests, such as classmates in a lifelong learning environment, helps to create new friendships.

According to Division Head Kerrie Strathy, the Lifelong Learning Centre got its start in the spring of 1977 when a group of adults approached the University of Regina about offering programming for adults looking to engage in further learning.

The initial concept of the lifelong learning programs was initiated by what is now the Seniors’ University Group (SUG). Since that time, the Lifelong Learning Centre has provided those interested in ongoing learning with a number of engaging, non-credit courses that are as fun and enriching as they are educational.

Although affiliated with the Lifelong Learning Centre, the SUG is a separate entity that is open to people 50 years of age and older.

For an annual fee of about $30 per year, members enjoy many privileges such as lower fees for personal enrichment courses, invitations to special lectures and events, free

access to the University of Regina libraries and more. The Lifelong Learning Centre has no minimum age requirement.

“We offer a large variety of very interesting classes that cover everything from Art Appreciation to Yoga,” says Strathy. The list of classes is quite diverse and includes such topics as: Ancient Cultures and Places, Regina History, Myths and Legends, Carbon Capture, Astronomy, Creative Writing, Geology, Philosophy, Line Dancing, Yoga (about five different types), Spanish, Floral Design and Chinese Language.

The Lifelong Learning Centre also features Wellness Wednesday, providing information on a variety of topics, and on Thursday, individuals with specific areas of expertise speak at Noon Hour Forums.

The classes have proven to be popular. “We are also now offering evening and weekend classes to accommodate even more people,” Strathy adds.

Whether looking to enhance your skills, study a language or just meet people, there is truly something for everyone at the Lifelong Learning Centre. For more information or to register, visit www.uregina.ca/cce/lifelong.

CONNECTING THREADS, CONNECTING HEARTS

W E N DY L I V I N G S T O N E

A cozy, hand-made quilt can provide warmth for chilly toes on a winter night, but the actions of a Regina quilting group can also warm the heart. Harkening back to 19th century quilting bees, when community members came together to make gifts and charity items, Connecting Threads brings quilters together in Regina to create items for community organizations.

Once a week, 20 to 30 quilters, many of whom are members of the Prairie Piecemakers Quilters’ Guild, meet at the Neil Balkwill Centre and combine their creative efforts, enjoying their hobby while striving to help those who are in need feel comforted and cared for.

“We are a productive group,” says Marlene Smith-Collins. “We donated 204 quilts to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and 214 went to the pediatric and adolescent inpatient and outpatient care at the General Hospital and Wascana Rehab Centre. These are given to kids who are in a chronic medical condition, terminally ill or have experienced some type of trauma. They are comfort quilts.”

The group also donated 10 quilts to Sofia House (a second-stage wom-

en’s shelter) and 15 to the women and children at Kate’s Place (a residence for women completing court-mandated drug treatment).

Three other women’s shelters received 300 pillowcases, and 152 placemats were donated to the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region Meals on Wheels program, which serves households as far away as Moosomin.

This high productivity does not result in a reduction in quality however. “When we are donating quilts to charity, we want them

to be attractive — we want to be proud of what we donate, and we want the people receiving them to be comforted — they are a comfort quilt and they should be comforted by them, not looking at them and thinking ‘who made this,’ type of thing. We take a lot of pride in the charity quilts that we make,” says Smith-Collins.

All the tools and materials needed for the projects are made available at the Balkwill for Connecting Threads participants. “We work with donated fabric — donated by members of the guild who are downsizing, members of the public because they know we make charity quilts, and estates. Sometimes, we have somebody who is cleaning out their mother’s house, and they just drop it off at Neil Balkwill and we don’t know who donates it,” says Smith-Collins. Several sewing machines, rotary cutters and mats are also available for use.

The group receives monetary support from various sources.

This year, Farm Credit Canada donated $1,500, which will be used to purchase the quilt batting required for projects. The Prairie Piecemakers Quilters’ Guild also

contributes financially. It holds a quilt show every two years and sells raffle tickets for a hand-made quilt to raise funds for Connecting Threads’ efforts. In 2016, $2,400 — which will also be used for batting and flannelette backing — was raised through this endeavour. An additional $1,000 was donated in July through Sask Energy’s Share the Warmth program.

Even though the group is very production-oriented, Connecting

Threads sewers manage to find time to socialize and share quilting tips. “There is a tremendous exchange of ideas,” says SmithCollins. “Somebody always has a different way of doing things, or a different pattern. You will always get advice — whether you want it or not!”

Many hobbyists are members of both the Prairie Piecemakers Quilters’ Guild and Connecting Threads, but membership in neither organization is dependent on belonging to the other. Both groups meet from September until June.

Connecting Threads meets from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on and come-and-go basis at the Neil Balkwill Centre every Thursday, and the Prairie Piecemakers Quilters’ Guild meets at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at the Whitmore Park United Church.

The guild, which comprises about 140 members, is also a way for quilters to exchange ideas and learn more about the art and craft of quilting. At each meeting, 80 to 90 members meet to discuss topics of interest, such as fibre art or modern quilt design. Presentations cover various concerns that quilters may have, including correct body mechanics for sewing (presented by a physiotherapist) and sewing machine maintenance (presented by the owner of a quilt shop). For those who like to receive their advice in printed form, the guild meetings’ venue houses an extensive library of quilting books.

Like any labour of love, time passes quickly when one begins the process of making a quilt. “I don’t think even any of us that sew or quilt even know how much time we put into something. When I’m asked, ‘how long did it take you to make something,’ I have no idea,” says Smith-Collins.

What a great way to wile away those long winter days.

Loops and Crinkles, a contemporary dance, features the skill of Connie Moker Wernikowski (back, left) and her daughter Katrina Currie (back, right) and the energy and spontaneity of Connie’s granddaughters Evelyn Currie and Elle Wernikowski. SUPP L I E D P H O TO TOBIE HAINSTOCK

Since she was five years old, Connie Moker Wernikowski has loved dancing! “I took ballet lessons in Prince Albert and when my teacher left, my parents drove me to Saskatoon.”

Eventually she went on to achieve a BA in Dance at York University and a master’s in education at the University of Regina.

From 1994 to 2009, she served as the artistic director of Youth Ballet and Contemporary Dance of Saskatchewan.

Moker Wernikowski is a highly talented and creative professional contemporary dance artist who still maintains a healthy balance of physical activity through dance and yoga at the age of 62. “My body may be limited, but my body still moves and I’m able to express myself in an artistic way,” she says.

As owner of Big Fish Yoga, Moker Wernikowski offers instruction to people of many age groups — classes are available for beginners and up. There are also gentle levels for those with limited flexibility. Having always practiced yoga, she finds that it has made a difference in her body movement, making her more flexible. It was in 2010 that she decided to become a teacher and pass on to others what she had learned.

Being a dancer, choreographer and yoga instructor, Moker Wernikowski understands the value of being active throughout all stages of life. According to NIH Senior Health, regular physical activity and exercise are important to the physical and mental health of almost everyone, including older adults. Staying physically active and exercising regularly can produce long-term health benefits and even improve health for some older people who have diseases and disabilities.

She encourages people of all ages to do activities that they enjoy and find something that is sensitive to their body’s limitations, but adds that whatever you do, don’t let your age stop you. Moker Wernikowski says that maintaining

an active lifestyle at any stage of life is also beneficial on a deeper level. “Dancing and yoga connect me to myself. They help centre me and find my inner joy. I even dance through sad times and times of grief.”

To celebrate the varied stages of life and motivate people of all ages to live an active lifestyle, Moker Wernikowski has choreographed a contemporary dance, titled Loops and Crinkles. This thoughtful and graceful performance is multigenerational, and features Moker Wernikowski, her daughter Katrina Currie along with granddaughters Evelyn Currie and Elle Wernikowski. The dance intimately praises the inherent human spirit as it moves through all of the stages of life.

Moker Wernikowski says that her daughter is also a trained dancer and that her granddaughters exude a lot of energy and spontaneity. Her focus in choreographing Loops and Crinkles was to channel that energy and include that spontaneity while demonstrating the experience and skill of herself and Currie — it is a demonstration of the beauty of youth and experience melding into one. “We hope to throw a few ‘Loops and Crinkles’ into the preconceived notions that some may have about the age and timeline for dance, and who can dance together.”

Moker Wernikowski and her family are thrilled about performing this stunningly artistic dance at the 9th Annual Healthy Dancer Canada Conference in Saskatoon.

The theme for the conference this year is Dancing through Life. The Loops and Crinkles dance will be part of the opening at 9 a.m. and will encompass the conference’s theme.

As we move through life, our bodies transition from one stage to another; this does not, however, mean that we should sit on the sidelines after a certain age.

Not only is keeping active through life beneficial for us on a physical level, Moker Wernikowski says that it is very important to help us maintain quality of life.

Asthma is a chronic lung condition. The airways become inflamed and swollen, causing them to narrow. The airways produce mucus in response to the inflammation, clogging the shrunken tubes.Air can’t move through the lungs as well as it should, making it difficult to breathe. Everyone’s lungs are sensitive to different things such as pollen, air pollution, or strong chemicals. People with asthma have lungs that are more sensitive than average. Asthma is in part an allergic response and may be triggered by some external substance that particularly irritates your lungs. Some people are sensitive to more than one trigger. Common allergens include: • • • •

grass, tree, and ragweed pollen moulds house dust mites animal dander

Asthma attacks can also be triggered by non-allergic irritants such as: • • • • • •

viral infections such as the common cold or the flu laughing hard, crying, shouting smog and smoke strong smells (e.g., paint fumes, perfumes, cleaning products) suddenly breathing cold air vigorous exercise

There is no cure for asthma. It’s a chronic condition, and it can last a lifetime.

Asthma treatment is aimed at keeping you feeling well, with as few symptoms as possible. Avoiding triggers is your first defense against an asthma attack.

Try using an asthma diary card to keep track of your symptoms and your surroundings. Most importantly, see your doctor and ask for help to achieve better asthma control.
