SENIOR HOUSING
First you should familiarize yourself with the many options available and determine which one is best for your needs. You will find definitions of each type of housing at the beginning of the housing section. Then turn to our easy to read comparison grids. The grids are divided into 3 categories, depending on the type of community: Independent Living and Retirement, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing. The buildings are listed by city or county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

Hearing Loss and Cognitive Decline Hearing loss affects more than
just hearing—it plays a crucial role in brain health. Research shows a strong link between hearing loss and cognitive decline, making early intervention essential for those 50 and older.
Hearing loss reduces brain stimulation, as the auditory cortex receives less input, weakening cognitive functions. It can also lead to social isolation, increasing the risk of depression and cognitive decline. Additionally, the brain works harder to process sounds, straining mental resources.
Though hearing loss is common with aging, it shouldn’t be ignored. Addressing hearing issues early, staying socially engaged, and keeping the brain active can reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Taking care of your hearing supports a fuller, more active life. If you or a loved one experience hearing difficulties, consult a Doctor of Audiology to explore options for maintaining both hearing and brain health. ~ See ad below.

Every year, more than one in four adults 65 years or older experience a fall contributing to over three million emergency department visits across the country.1 In 2023, Good Samaritan Hospital treated 787 trauma patients due to fall-related injuries, making falls the number one trauma injury seen in Good Samaritan’s Emergency Department. Simply stated, the risk of falling and fall-related problems increases as we age. Why do falls happen? Falls can result from a range of personal and environmental factors. Hazards like dimly lit rooms, steep stairs, and hard-to-reach shelves or storage areas present tripping risks. Additionally, as we age, changes in our vision, hearing, and overall health can raise the risk of falls. How to prevent falls Fall prevention is about identifying and mitigating as many risk factors for falling as possible. Take some time to do an inventory of your home and your physical health to see if there are any risks present. Once you’ve identified potential risk factors, you can take steps to address them. n Remove home hazards. Remove clutter and items on the floor and in areas where you walk. Secure electrical cords so they don’t block
walkways, and secure or remove any area rugs that bunch or slip. n Make home modifications. Install grab bars near the toilet and in your shower, install handrails along your stairs, have lightbulbs replaced or install new lights in dark hallways and rooms, and use non-slip mats in your shower or bathtub. n Stay active. Regular physical activity and exercise keeps your muscles strong, prevents bone loss, and can improve your balance. Walking, water workouts, or Tai Chi are great activities that improve strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility. Be sure to consult your physician before beginning any new exercise program.

Changing the Life of Seniors, One Delicious There are many options when Meal at a Time! looking for help for Seniors that desire to age in place.
As we grow older, good nutrition is important but may cause a challenge to aging adults. Getting to the grocery store alone can be an obstacle, as well as having the mobility to actually prepare nutritious meals on a daily basis. Although some delivery services like Meals on Wheels are convenient, they are not customized to the individuals tastes and likes. Hello Fresh and other meal box type services can be expensive, and the meals still have to be prepared. Some home care services provide meal prep, but only on a limited ba-
sis and the care provider is probably not a trained Chef. Chefs For Seniors provides meals prepared in the home by a professional Chef. Meals can be customized to individual tastes and dietary needs. The meals are packaged with care for the week in microwave safe containers. It is our mission to change the life of Seniors, one delicious meal at a time! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Darren Rabie. Darren is the franchise owner with Chefs For Seniors - Denver/ Boulder and may be reached at 720445-8232 or by email at darren.rabie@ chefsforseniors.com. See ad below.

How PACE Helps Older Adults and Their Caregivers When it is time to seek out healthcare assistance for yourself or an older adult, there are many options. Creating a plan can be a confusing and daunting task as you try to piece together services to meet all of your needs. For family caregivers, this can be especially stressful while also balancing the needs of work and family. Many caregivers find that care coordination for their parents can be a full-time job. PACE, which stands for Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, is an option that removes the burden of care coordination for older adults and their families. PACE is an innovative model of healthcare providing wrap-around services and coordinated care all in one place, alleviating stress on the older adult and their family. PACE provides the flexibility needed to meet the health care needs of older adults to support them living successfully in the community. A Unique Approach For Every Person Every individual who receives care and services through PACE has a unique plan of care developed by an interdisciplinary team including providers, nurses, social workers,

therapists, dietitians, homecare, transportation specialists, and more. The team works with each PACE participant to create an individualized plan that cares for the whole person, including their medical, social, and mental health needs. Pace Is More Than A List Of Services; Pace Is A Complete Solution PACE offers a day center, where participants can receive medical care, rehab therapies, meals and socialization. The PACE Center serves as the central hub of all services, including scheduling and transportation to and from all appointments. PACE’s comprehensive services and care coordination can be an invaluable solution for the older adult and their caregivers who are balancing the needs of family and work. If you think PACE may be a solution for you, please call TRU PACE at 303-665-0115. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Samantha Black, LSW, Executive Director at TRU PACE and may be reached at 303-665-0115 or by email at SamanthaBlack@TRUcare.org.

Isolation in the Aftermath of Isolation and loneliness are not new the Pandemic concepts to those who work in the field of aging. And, as a result of the COVID pandemic, almost everyone, regardless of age, experienced some form of isolation and loneliness.
Many of us were separated from family, friends, and coworkers for so long that the isolation left a nearly permanent mark. As a senior service provider, Cultivate has seen, firsthand, the negative effects isolation has had on our senior clients. We have also seen the power of healing that the volunteers provide when they take time to build connections with our clients. According to the CDC, loneliness and social isolation in adults can lead to serious health conditions beyond the effect it has on mental health. The senior population has been disproportionately affected by isolation for years, and it is only in the aftermath of the pandemic that much of the population can begin to understand. Society saw a surge in volunteerism during the beginning of the pandemic because many people were struggling with the loneliness of quarantine while becoming very aware of the fact their neighbors
needed help. However, that surge ended and non-profits are finding a significant reduction in the number of new volunteers. Many forget that just because most of the population is no longer quarantined, this does not mean that the issues of isolation have disappeared. There are different ways that the community can get involved to help reduce isolation and loneliness in seniors. This work can start by reaching out to family, friends, and neighbors. You never know how much of an impact your time and words can have on someone. Volunteerism is also a good way to reach people who need the most help. Often the volunteers get as much out of their experience as those they are helping do. Whatever you choose, remember that we all know what it feels like to be lonely, and we all have the power to relieve the loneliness of others. ~

with Affordable Housing & Community-Centered Care
As the senior population continues to grow rapidly, the demand for accessible, affordable, and supportive housing is more pressing than ever. Seniors often encounter unique challenges, such as limited income, health concerns, and social isolation. Addressing these needs requires more than just providing housing; it calls for creating environments that foster well-being, cognitive health, and community engagement. Programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and the Boulder Affordable Rental (BAR) program, which is budget-based, are key to preserving affordable senior housing. Organizations like the Boulder Housing Partners (BHP) exemplify comprehensive resident support through innovative and inclusive housing solutions. BHC collaborates with the City of Boulder and other partners to develop sustainable, permanently affordable homes. Affordable Housing and the Role of LIHTC and BAR Programs Affordable housing tailored to seniors provides a lifeline, enabling independence, community connections, and a place to thrive. LIHTC incentivizes developers to build lowcost, quality housing units that often
include age-friendly features such as wheelchair ramps and elevators. BAR ties rent to operating costs, ensuring affordability while supporting high standards for maintenance and stability. Together, these programs create accessible, well-maintained communities that promote social engagement and health. Comprehensive Resident Support By maintaining high-quality standards and prioritizing community, BHP’s model addresses seniors’ health and social needs, prioritizing mental stimulation to support cognitive health and memory and promote overall well-being. Activities such as book clubs, classes, tailored exercise programs, and mindfulness practices foster meaningful community connections. BHP focuses on holistic resident care, fostering partnerships to provide wellness programs, social engagement, and essential services. If you’re in the market to move to an Affordable/Subsidized senior community, search for a company committed to making senior living accessible, supportive, and empowering, ultimately enhancing lives and strengthening communities. ~

was immediately confronted with my own failure to plan.
Having helped hundreds of families find the “right fit” senior living community for their loved one has confirmed this axiom. I’m not the only one who didn’t think about planning for long term care! 70% of people 65 or older will need long term care. Only around 30% of the population will not need additional healthcare to live to the end of life at home. That means most of us will need to do some
planning. Start now! Connect with a Senior Placement Company and begin the planning process. The service is FREE and Placement companies are a rich source of information regarding community costs, spend-down and care options. You don’t have to plan to fail! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Walt and Britt Roberson who are co-owners of Harmony Senior Referrals.
