his guide will offer resources for readers who are looking to move their loved ones closer to home, as we provide an overview of several senior living facilities in the tri-city area. We also outline information on where seniors can learn more about utilizing technology, as well as direct them to a litany of podcasts and smartphone apps to keep a sharp mind. Readers can also learn about volunteering opportunities with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, which is a great way to help support local police services while promoting safety in the community. And in this issue, we dive into details on how to identify early warning signs of memory loss and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, which is becoming more prevalent among seniors who are living longer than previous generations. All of these stories and resources are meant to help our senior citizens in the community thrive as they approach their golden years. With so much to offer, South Orange County is certainly an ideal place for seniors to enjoy a beautiful life.
S TAY O N T H E R OA D LONGER with AARP’s Driver Safety Course

o help keep aging motorists up to date on the rules of the road, AARP offers driver safety classes at local community centers in South Orange County. During the AARP Smart Driver Course, instructor George Dobbie will review all of the laws and procedures on the books, as outlined by the Department of Motor Vehicles. With the course geared toward elderly drivers, Dobbie noted how advanced age can impact our driving. “As we grow older, things happen within our bodies, and we take medications and the conditions that we have in our bodies, they all affect our driving,” he said. “Our purpose is to help people drive safely for a longer period of time.” The course, he also said, is ideal for those who may be preparing to retake their written driver’s license exam with the DMV. “A lot of people come to us when their license is about to be renewed,” he said. “The things that we cover help them with being able to know the things they need to know in order to renew their license.” As an incentive, many car insurance providers also offer discounts to drivers for completing the course, explained Heidi Ivanoff, senior program coordinator at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center. “What they can do with that is take (the cer-
for the Young at Heart
tificate) or contact their insurance provider and ask them if that provider gives them a discount for taking that course; and many do accept that,” Ivanoff said. The class, she also noted, is strictly an old-fashioned, student-instructor-style course and doesn’t incorporate any behind-the-wheel instruction. New students, or anyone who hasn’t taken the course in more than five years, are required to first complete the two-day class. After that, participants who just want a refresher can take the one-day class. AARP members can take the class for $15, while non-members pay $20. Dobbie will conduct two-day courses at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center on June 18 and June 20 and at the Dana Point Community Center on July 24 and July 25. He’ll also hold a one-day refresher course at the Dorothy Visser Senior Center in San Clemente on June 11. All classes are scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. To register, contact your city’s community center or go there in person. The San Juan Capistrano Community Center is located at 25925 Camino Del Avion and can be reached by phone at 949.493.5911. The Dana Point Community Center is at 34052 Del Obispo Street and can be contacted at 949.496.2337. San Clemente’s Dorothy Visser Senior Center is located at 117 Avenida Victoria. The phone number is 949.498.3322.

BANK ON IT Food Banks and Senior Service Groups Partner to Close Hunger Gap By Lillian Boyd
H
ome-delivered meals are becoming more and more popular, with dishes being brought to your home with the touch of a button on your smartphone or computer. But with aging residents becoming dependent on a fi ed income and losin mo ility, access to fresh, quality food becomes more of a necessity than a convenience. Beginning June 1, seniors in California who receive Social Security Income (SSI)/State upplemental ayment ) enefits will e a le to apply for al resh food enefits. alifornia has been the only state in the country to disqualify SSI/SSP recipients from receiving CalFresh, or food stamps, prior to June 1. “This has been a huge barrier for seniors hoping to apply for CalFresh,” said Ellie Nedry, the community program manager for Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. “We believe that nobody should go hungry, ever. Our work focuses on helping clients overcome those barriers.” Second Harvest works to provide nourishment to more than 300,000 people throughout Orange County, including Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano. The organization works with more than 200 partners in the
community to combine efforts in combating hunger. Second Harvest’s Groceries for Seniors program provides supplemental groceries to low-income seniors at nearly 40 sites around Orange County, twice a month. You do not need to rin proof of income, a e, or identification. Sites of service include Father Serra’s Pantry at Mission Basilica and Boys & Girls Clubs of Capo Valley in San Juan Capistrano, RH Dana Elementary School in Dana Point and Family Assistance Ministries (FAM) in San Clemente. Second Harvest also offers a mobile pantry service that brings fresh produce, lean protein items and healthy foods to the public. Nedry says this service has been overwhelmingly popular since the organization implemented feedback to provide healthier options, as opposed to canned goods and items with preservatives. “These sorts of services are really what make a difference in a senior having to choose between paying for medication or rent and paying for a meal,” Nedry said. “Nobody deserves to go hungry.” Second Harvest’s programs are free for recipients. For information regarding food distributions in your area and other direct food assistance in English and Spanish, call the helpline at 1.855.2.FEEDOC. Dana Point’s senior services offer a nutritional food program each weekday beginning at 11:30 a.m., which includes an entrée, beverage and dessert. The program is operated by Age Well Senior Services within the Dana Point Community Center, 34052 Del Obispo Street. Age Well conducts several programs that cater to the needs of senior residents. Every Monday, from 11 a.m. to noon, Helping Hands Worldwide distributes food items donated by local businesses and grocery chains through a number lottery system. Additionally during the week, Room B at the Dana Point Community Center has been transformed into a arden af for a fine din-

in e perience. ro ram or ani ers hoped to steer away from a cafeteria setup and create a welcoming environment with tablecloths, cloth napkins, silverware and glass dishes. “The (City of Dana Point) has really put forth an effort to improve services and e perience for senior residents,” said Sandy Anderson, the site manager for Age Well at the Dana Point Senior Center. “They’ve remodeled the space, and they provide a lot of items for our programs.” Free transportation is available for Dana Point residents, age 60 and older, to the weekday lunch program. Call the City of Dana Point at 949.248.3536 to register. For homebound seniors, age 60 and older, or anyone unable to shop or cook on their own, Age Well provides home-delivered meals. For a suggested donation of $7.50 per day, recipients are given three meals, including breakfast, hot lunch and cold dinner. “Our mission is to provide resources for older adults to promote their vitality and support their independence,” said Anderson. “Our
founder, Marilyn Ditty, believed that nobody should be denied our services. Nobody should go hungry.” For the month of April, Age Well Senior Services provided 448 meals at the center, and 1,129 meals were delivered to homes in Dana Point. A e ell enior ervices is a nonprofit organization providing resources throughout South Orange County, with several sites, including Dana Point. While the 501(c)(3) relies on government funding, services also depend on private donations, Anderson said. About 90% of money donations support the programs directly. Age Well is currently holding a fundraiser du ed ive , ive in order to finance meals on wheels and transportation services. Visit give.agewellseniorservices.org to give a donation.
The fast-paced world of new technology can make life tough on aging adults. Luckily, there are plenty of local options to assist those who need a little help keeping up on technology: >> San Clemente’s Dorothy Visser Senior Center offers two technology programs each week. Computer Assistance is held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays, and Technology Assistance is held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursdays.

MEMORY LOSS: IDENTIFYING E A R LY S I G N S OF DEMENTIA By Shawn Raymundo
M
emory loss can be a frustrating feeling. And while misplacing small items such as keys may seem inconsequential, if it becomes frequent at a certain age, it could be an early sign of dementia. In her experience as a quality assurance care lead and registered nurse with Home Instead Senior Care in Mission Viejo, Jaiden Tanaleon said the age at which a person may develop symptoms of dementia can vary, but usually it’s found in those in
their 80s and 90s. “If you’re starting to get it in your 60s or 70s, that’s early onset . . . that’s not good; it tends to progress,” she said. While advances in medicine and technology continue to keep people alive longer, the risk of dementia and degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, increases, Tanaleon notes. “As our population gets older and older, a problem we come across is dementia,” she said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Alzheimer’s disease ranked as the fifth-leadin cause of death for those a ed and older in . Al heimer s wasn t on that list ac in , the notes. Tanaleon said that if family members or friends begin to notice signs of memory loss in a loved one, the person should check with their primary physician to get a referral for a neurologist. Tanaleon further explained that there are several signs for both early and late stages of dementia. When it comes to the late stages of dementia, Tanaleon said the individual would experience changes in their basic activities of daily living, including forgetting how to do familiar tasks. Such activities include dressing, eating, ambulation—or walking and movement—toileting and hygiene. As a mnemonic, Tanaleon notes, these activities spell out DEATH. In the early stages of dementia, she said, those close to the person would start seeing changes in their instrumental activities of daily living, which include shopping, housekeeping,
accounting, food preparation and transportation—or SHAFT. Using that mnemonic device, Tanaleon explains that a person showing early stages would display the following: • Shopping: forgetting certain items that they meant to buy. • Housekeeping: not putting items in the right place or not disposing of trash properly. • Account management: letting bills pile up without paying them or improperly writing checks. • Food preparation: havin difficulty coo in meals, especially when it comes to new recipes, not washing hands, or not turning off the stove or oven. • Transportation: losing the ability to drive safely, such as going in the wrong direction, ettin lost, or not loo in out for traffic. Tanaleon said the T in SHAFT could also stand for Telephone, as the individual may not remember a family member’s number or just forget how to answer phone calls. Other situations, she added, may also involve the person not knowing where they are to whom they’re talking.
“They may be disorientated, may not know where they’re at or what’s going on,” she said. For family members, the transition can also e difficult, as they re stru lin to fi ure out how to cope with the situation. “Some family members may take it personally,” she said, later adding that there are a lot of resources to turn to in order to better help their loved one. Tanaleon recommends “being very patient. Listen every time they speak, even if it’s the same thing they said over and over again. . . . or them, it s the first time they re sayin it, so the family member has to treat it that way.” “And if there’s a point, especially when it gets later in the stages, where a family or a senior ets very difficult to tal to, she said, you should “take a moment to cool off, as long as the senior is safe, take a step back. You don’t have to win the battle. You have to think about the war.” For that senior or individual who’s suffering from memory loss, Tanaleon explained that it feels like they’re losing control. “Many times our seniors are struggling for their independence,” she said. “If they’re not able to do the daily activities or their daily living, they’re losing control.”

Senior volunteer patrol programs coordinated with Orange County Sheriff’s Department are a great way to stay active, help support police services and get involved with the local community.

RSVP // ne of the first pro rams of its ind, established in 1985, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides support for the city of San Clemente Police Services.
