The Long Goodbye By Paula Gibson, Community Relations Director for Harbor House Memory Care
A
lzheimer’s disease is often referred to by family members and caregivers as “the long goodbye.” Although progressive, those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease can live from 2 – 20 years with the disease slowly eroding their ability to remember, make decisions and perform daily tasks. If you are a providing assistance to someone with memory loss whether it is daily hands-on care or that of a long-distance caregiver it is important that you take care of yourself too. Below are a few items to keep in mind: ► Care for Yourself First — If you’ve ever listened to the stewardess on an airplane you know that if the oxygen masks are deployed you should put the mask on yourself and then help those around you. This is the same direction a caregiver should take. Care for self first! Take time out of every day for yourself, otherwise you are running the risk of caregiver burnout. Also just as you would not let your loved one miss a doctor appointment, don’t put yours off and while you are there, make sure your medical professional is aware of your caregiving situation. Perhaps they will better understand why your blood pressure is high or help you to strategize ways to deal with stress and anxiety. ► Take Offers of Help — Who hasn’t been told “If there’s
Take time out of every day for yourself, otherwise you are running the risk of caregiver burnout. anything I can do...” and then never followed up on the offer. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease usually is a fulltime job. Therefore it is easy to feel like you are alone in the fight. However, if we open ourselves up to asking for and accepting help, odds are it will allow us to provide better care for a longer period of time for our loved one. Make a list of things that you would feel comfortable delegating, errands that need running or activities that your loved one enjoys. That way the next time someone offers you help, you’ll have something that they can “do.”
► Seek Support — As a caregiver it is important that everyone immediately connected to your loved one be on the same page and when possible united in their love and compassion. However, realize that it is common that everyone will not be in agreement all of the time. When this happens try to find common ground and when needed ask for assistance from a third party. Remember your relationship with those that assist you in caring for your loved one, especially if they are family or friends, if tended well will likely outlive your loved one. ► Find Local Resources — It is very important that upon diagnosis you begin to seek out services within your community that can assist you throughout your caregiving process.

people who will provide care and where your loved one will live. You should also identify who the ultimate decision maker will be, usually this is the Power of Attorney, and when they will take over making these decisions. As a caregiver if you take the necessary steps listed above you can make sure that your loved one’s days are filled with compassionate care. Regardless of the length of the journey your love will last far beyond their final goodbye.

► Make a Plan — Due to the fact that Alzheimer’s disease is progressive your loved one will never recover those things that they have lost. Realizing this is one of the hardest parts of coping with the disease, but the most important. By making a plan of what you need and want to do for your loved one, helps to keep everyone on the same page. It is important to identify the

► Be Real — As a caregiver it is key that you have a good understanding of your loved one’s diagnosis. If not, you truly set yourself and your loved one up for frustration and failure. As the disease impairs more of your loved one’s memory and decision making process, your expectations need to change. For example if your loved one can no longer tie his shoes it is not because he is being lazy, it is because the disease is no longer allowing him to remember how to tie his shoes. In addition, be realistic with yourself and what you can expect from others. You will not be able
to be with your loved one every second of every day and you may get frustrated at times. That’s OK. You are not abandoning them nor are you a bad person for needing time alone. Remember even Mother Theresa got frustrated. If you are a long-distance caregiver you will probably not be able to see your loved one as often as you or their immediate caregiver would like. However, perhaps there are other ways that you can help such as scheduling doctor appointments or making healthy meals that can be easily heated and eaten.

You may not need Respite Care right now, but you also don’t want to be scrambling to find out what is out there when you do. Luckily a great place to find out about resources in our community is through our local Aging and Disability Resource Center and Alzheimer’s Association.

Quality End-of-Life Care By Ellen Ness, Director, Patient Services, Mayo Clinic Health System – Home Health & Hospice
W
hen life’s journey is nearing its final phase and treatment is no longer an option, the goal of care transitions from cure to comfort. Hospice care is here to help. Hospice is recommended for patients who have a life-limiting illness with the anticipated life expectancy of six months or less. It focuses on excellent quality of care at this final stage of life. Helping patients and their families with lifelimiting illness is the sole mission of the hospice team at Mayo Clinic Health System – Home Health & Hospice. It is our purpose to give strength and support, and to serve as a muchneeded resource at this trying time. Home Health & Hospice is a state-licensed, Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nonprofit agency that began in 1984. We serve more than 11 counties in northwestern Wisconsin and employ specially trained hospice staff to provide services in the comfort of your home or anywhere you call home, such as an assisted living facility or nursing home. Patients routinely receive periodic in-house services of a nurse, hospice aide, social worker, spiritual care provider and other members of the hospice team. Our on-call nursing staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To ease the financial burden, hospice will supply and pay for medical equipment, supplies and medications related to the hospice illness. Family members often wish they had been referred to hospice much earlier for full access 10

to its services. Late referrals make it difficult for the hospice team to address all the complex needs of the patient and family. HOMEPL Evidence also shows quality hospice care can be life-prolonging. Reports are increasingly showing that patients who are kept comfortable and given proper support can extend their life, and quality endof-life care is cost effective. Hospice services are typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance, and the hospice team can help with financial arrangements. No two patients are alike, which is why hospice patients and families are actively involved in the care plan. A life-limiting illness can challenge emotions, relationships, finances and spiritual strength. Providing comfort in these areas is important, too, and the hospice team is specially trained to help with this. We can help you cope, and we will guide and prepare you as we serve as your partner along your end-of-life journey. For more information on hospice care, call 1-800-236-8408 (toll free).

Information courtesy of The American Elder Care Research Organization
Medication—Many drugs (i.e., sedatives, anti-depressants) reduce mental alertness, affect balance and gait and cause drops in systolic blood pressure while standing. Mixing certain medications increases these effects, causing falls. Solution: Have a home care professional carefully monitor medications and interactions.
Impaired Vision—Cataracts and
glaucoma alter depth perception visual acuity, peripheral vision and susceptibility to glare. Solution: Add color contrast to identify objects, such as grab bars and handrails.
Weakness, Low Balance— Weakness and lack of mobility leads to many falls. Solution: Exercise regularly to boost strength and muscle tone.
Home Hazards—Most
homes are full of falling hazards. Solution: Add grab bars in the bathroom, install proper railings on both sides of stairways, improve the lighting, remove loose rugs and fix uneven or cracked sidewalks.
20%-30% of people who fall suffer moderate to severe injuries. These injuries can make it hard to get around or live independently.
adults age 65 and older fall each year, yet less than half talk to their healthcare providers
Chronic Conditions—Parkinson’s
Every 15 seconds across America, a senior citizen is sent to the E.R. for a fallrelated injury.
heart disease and other conditions increase the risk of falling. Solution: Enlist specially-trained caregivers to ensure that patients follow their treatment plans, assist them to doctor appointments and recognize red flags.

Nursing Home or Assisted Living – What’s the Difference?
W
hen people talk to me about planning for long-term care, they often ask me to explain the difference between assisted living facilities (ALFs) and nursing homes (also referred to as skilled nursing facilities). It’s an important question to ask, as most people do not understand how these facilities are the same or different. It’s also a good idea to understand the differences so that the proper type of care can be arranged and affordable. There are many similarities. Both facilities provide daily care, meals, laundry service and social activities. Both will assist with the management of medication. After that, there are many differences. Assisted living facilities typically have fewer residents than nursing homes and offer more options for privacy. It is not uncommon for nursing homes to have 75 to 100 residents. Assisted living facilities typically have 12 to 25 residents. Some people feel that the smaller environment of an ALF allows for a more “home-like” atmosphere. Assisted living residents are also more likely to provide for their own self-care and hygiene. ALF residents typically require less care than nursing home residents, so those facilities have fewer caregivers on staff. In many cases, there may only be one caregiver in the facility during overnights. The staff of assisted living facilities are typically certified nursing assistants (CNAs) or uncertified personal care workers. Many assisted living facilities have nurses on staff, but they usually spend only limited time in the facility. Nursing homes have nursing staff on duty twenty-four hours per day. They typically have several nurses in the facility at any given time. Caregivers in nursing homes are almost always certified (CNAs). In addition to nurses and CNAs, nursing homes also employ activities staff, dietary staff, and quite a variety of other professionals. This includes social workers, dietitians, physical and occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Nursing homes also employ nurses in management and supervisory positions. Nursing homes are able to provide for complex medical needs. This can include IV medications, respirator treatments, care of wounds, and skilled therapy. Nursing 20
homes are also able to provide for individuals who require assistance with all aspects of daily living (hygiene, toileting, self-care, etc.). The other factor to understand is cost and affordability. The cost of nursing home care is significant, but state funding (via Medicaid) is available for those individuals who meet certain income and asset guidelines. Assisted living facilities are generally for those people who can afford to pay privately for their care. Some facilities can be funded through state aid, but most are only for those individuals who can afford to pay privately. Both facilities are necessary for our communities and important sources of care for individuals who are aging. It is important for seniors to have options so that their specific needs can be met in the best and most cost effective manner. In order to make the best choices for care, you should understand the type of facility you need, research the various options in your community, and visit several facilities before making a decision. Ask questions about care, services and cost and inquire about how the facility can meet your unique needs. Be informed and understand your options.

In November 2014, we were fortunate to be able to break-ground for our new skilled nursing and assisted living facility at S9969 State Road 27 in Augusta. We look forward to moving into this state-of-the-art building later this year. We will have 46 private skilled nursing rooms and 2 semi-private skilled nursing suites. In addition to a specialized therapy center we will also have 12 assisted living rooms. Also during 2014, our Director of Nursing, Vicki Shilts, passed the national certification exam to become Wound Care Certified (WCC). The WCC credential is a nationally recognized certification, which is highly regarded and held by the most professional wound care clinicians in the United States. This certification affirms that Vicki Shilts, RN, WCC, possesses the qualifications to deliver the highest standard in wound care to her patients. Services we provide include the following:
• Medicare and Medicaid Certified Facility • 24-hour Licensed Nursing Staff • Wound Care and Wound Vacuum Treatment • IV Therapy & Tube Feeding Treatment • On-site Physician Services • On-site Podiatry & Dental Services • On-site Audiology & Optometry Services • On-site Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy • Inpatient and Outpatient Therapy Services • Daily Restorative Therapy
