More than 30 million Americans are taking five or more maintenance medications daily, however approximately 50% of these patients aren’t taking their medications as prescribed. ACORx Pharmacy manages medications to help improve adherence to a medication regimen, which in turn reduces costly ER visits and unnecessary doctor’s appointments. ACORx (Adherence and Compliance Optimized) is a new kind of pharmacy, dedicated to improving patient outcomes through enhanced compliance and ultimately, reducing the overall cost of care. The Medication Adherence Packaging (MAPS) are filled at the ACORx Pharmacy in Carnegie, PA, then hand delivered to patients by a member of the team who knows both the patient and caregiver. For decades, patients have had the responsibility to either sort their own medications or organize their pill bottles. ACORx Pharmacy can manage this process for them. Their skilled pharmacists have evaluated available options and can offer the patients the best solution to instill greater confidence in their own, or loved ones’, daily medication regimen. ACORx Pharmacy’s Medication Adherence Packaging (MAPS) clearly organize multiple medications in an easy-to-follow format, providing instant visual reinforcement of what medications to take and when. Simply stated, the patients’ focus is only to take that day’s morning, afternoon, evening, or bedtime pre-sorted

medications. Five Reasons Why to Use ACORx Pharmacy: 1. A CORx fills and refills each pack, eliminating possibility of patient or caregiver errors.

Think of your life as a story. In the early years it was playtime and school. Then came love and work. Then came the kids, which eventually gave way to the empty nest years. Perhaps, you are lucky enough to have grandkids close by. During all these years, you’ve worked hard to be a good family member and neighbor. You’ve devoted yourself to your passions and interests. You’ve lived your version of the American Dream. Like all stories, though, yours too will end one day. After it does, how will you be remembered? Will you be remembered for all of the good things you’ve accomplished? Will they mention how great of a person/ parent/neighbor you were? Or will your final chapters be marred by a lack of organization and planning? Will they say things like “he left us a mess to clean up”, “he didn’t have a will or trust” or even worse, “he lost it all in the nursing home.” I’ll share something with you about my family. My grandfather spent his lifetime building a business and raising six kids. He was a WWII vet. He worked his tail off and was an active member of his small town. However, when I meet new people who knew him, that’s not what they tell me about.

They almost all say something like “It’s too bad he lost it all to the nursing home.” See, my grandfather’s last chapter isn’t really about him. His last chapter was written by Alzheimer’s Disease. It’s about how he lost his cognition, his memory, and yes, his money. You don’t have to leave this all to chance. You can plan for all of these issues. You can plan for a last chapter of dignity and respect. You can pick the stories they tell. You can choose organization over chaos. You can choose leaving a legacy over nursing home poverty. You can leave messages and instructions for your family. This planning requires you to become educated on your options and then you have to make the right decisions, just like you always have. The choice is yours… what’s it going to be?

(or “stepped-down”) to the value of the securities (or other asset) transferred using a transfer on death (TOD) designation at the time of your death. A step-up reduces the resulting taxable gain if the recipient sells the securities. Strengths to a TOD designation: • Can help you avoid or minimize the expense of probate Ever wonder how you can immediately transfer securities to your loved ones once you passed? If so, you should consider a TOD designation. By making a transfer on death (TOD) designation for securities (such as individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds, or trading accounts), you will transfer ownership of these immediately at your death to the people you designated. This can be very helpful when there are limited funds for funeral expenses, helping to provide the beneficiaries an insurance like death benefit. One thing you want to keep in mind is, that although referred to as a will substitute, a transfer on death (TOD) designation can be used only to transfer certain assets. Some states will allow you only to transfer securities, while other states allow TOD designations to transfer land, cars, and other assets. An income tax consideration to keep in mind is that the recipient’s basis will be “stepped-up”

• Minimizes delays in the transfer of property • Discourages interference with your plans to distribute your property

Transfer on Death Designation

• Circumvents some statutory limits on your power to transfer property • You retain control over the securities or other assets and can revoke your designation until your death • Simple and inexpensive to create Tradeoffs: • Does not reduce estate taxes • Does not avoid other costs arising at death • Recipients of the property are not protected from your creditors Editors Note: This article was submitted by Erin Weber.

Medical Marijuana for Anxiety | Solevo Wellness Anxiety continues to be a disorder that plagues many across the nation. Anxiety does not discriminate — it knows no age, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. While it is normal to experience occasional anxiety, those that suffer from an anxiety disorder have persistent and recurring intrusive thoughts and concerns. This affects their daily life, as some avoid situations completely out of worry or fear. There are several types of anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Often, those that suffer from anxiety disorders can also suffer from depression concurrently. One such treatment option is medical marijuana, and Pennsylvanians can obtain a medical marijuana card to treat anxiety. Marijuana is made up of cannabinoids. These compounds act on various receptors in the brain that play an important role in various bodily processes, such as memory, perception of pain, mood, and appetite. The two most commonly known cannabinoids are CBD and THC: CBD, or cannabidiol, is a nonintoxicating compound used as therapy and treatment for a large range of medical conditions. THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive compound associated with the euphoric effects of cannabis.

72 GREATER PITTSBURGH AREA - FALL 2021 - WINTER 2022

Strains of cannabis exhibit certain characteristics and can often be blended to produce certain effects. The most common way to think about strains is to consider the similarities and differences between indica vs. sativa. Sativa strains can increase serotonin levels and elevate mood, stimulate focus and creativity, and can be known for an “energizing” effect. Indica strains can stimulate appetite, promote muscle relaxation, and are known for the “couch-lock” effect. It has been shown that marijuana, specifically CBD-dominant strains, can offer temporary relief for anxiety. When using medical marijuana to treat anxiety, strains with a high level of CBD and a lower level of THC tend to be most effective. Of particular note, CBD has been shown to reduce anxiety symptoms. Several 2019 studies showed that CBD reduced or improved anxiety and symptoms in patients with a variety of anxiety disorders. Prior to using marijuana for anxiety, be sure to consult your treatment team. At Solevo Wellness, the health and wellness of our patients is our first priority. Patients have the option of reserving medical marijuana online or walk in, no appointment needed. If you have additional questions, please visit us at www. solevowellness.com or follow us on Facebook and direct message our team anytime.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

GIFT is a grassroots organization started in 2015. GIFT’s “Thanksgiving to GO” program provides 600 Thanksgiving kits for seniors spending the holiday at home. Adult volunteers cook and package the perishables, assemble the nonperishables, and deliver the kits to seniors — all, as the nonprofit’s name suggests, giving it forward together. Now, during the pandemic, many seniors who would normally have interactions with their families are now completely isolated, staying at home and no one to speak with. GIFT is stepping up, offering an intergenerational phone matching program called CHAT. We reach as many seniors as possible. “Before COVID, I don’t know that everyone could understand that concept — how a senior might feel, that feeling of being really lonely and

What do you want to pass down to your children and grandchildren? Many people respond to that question by saying “the house, a car, money or GreatAunt-Betty’s ruby ring”. But have you ever considered the things that you may be missing such as the reason behind the family traditions you practice, lessons you’ve learned in life or the stories that made you who you are today? All of these components make up your legacy. A legacy is a collection of items passed down from one generation of family to the next. We

are accustomed to hearing about the first set of answers above, but until now it hasn’t been possible to pass down the things that aren’t physical items. You have spent a lifetime creating family traditions, instilling values in your children, gathering real life experiences and the lessons that come along with them. The possibility of passing on that information is incredibly powerful. Not only is it

nostalgic and wonderful, but it also allows your legacy to live on far beyond your life. Imagine if you could record a video describing your family tree with photos and stories of each person rather than simply showing one on paper. What if you could leave a message to your future granddaughter to open on her wedding day – one that is beyond your days. Conversely, what would it be like to watch a video of your grandparents having done that for you? Finally, technology has caught up to where you now have the opportunity to not only record these types of messages and stories, but also secure

Facing the reality of finding a caregiver and a Home Care agency that can assist us with an aging parent, loved one with disabilities or someone who cannot be left alone can be stressful. None of us want to face that reality however, it does and will come for many of us. The first thing we must do is evaluate the needs for our loved one and determine what kind of services they will need and how often will they need them. A few examples are: • Company, conversation and companionship • Ensuring that medications, etc. are taken on time • Fun activities and community engagement • Light housekeeping and similar household task • Personal care, bathing and related support • Preparing meals and ensuring proper nutrition • Shopping, laundry and similar errands Most of these tasks are basic but for loved ones who had lived independently in the past, these basic tasks present a challenge. Do your research when choosing a home care agency are, here are some tips for making your decision: • Look for a reputable, well established company.

• What kind of benefits does the company offer to its workers. Larger, more established companies offer great benefits which bring long term satisfied employees. • Does insurance cover caregiver services? Or what governmental programs are there to help.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Facing Reality in Home Care

• 24/7 Availability. • Availability of caregiver staff (days off, holiday coverage, backup caregiver if needed). • Does the agency employ Family Members to take care of loved ones? Also, make sure that you talk to your loved one. Their opinion counts too. Allow yourself and your loved one to build trust in the company and the caregiver. The agency is there to help you and the needs of the one you care about. Editor’s Note: Submitted and written by: Garry Aronson, Director of Communications, Patriot Home Care.

You noticed a bruise on Grandma’s arm. “It was just a little fall,” she says. Maybe, but what about next time? According to the National Council on Aging, every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall, and every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Even if someone isn’t hurt when they fall, they may become afraid of falling, which can have a big impact on their life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found the fear of falling causes people to limit their activities and cut back on social engagement. When someone is less active, they become weaker, which increases their chances of falling.

During a fall risk assessment, a senior should be evaluated on factors, such as: • History of falls • Mobility issues • Visual impairment • Certain medications • Chronic conditions If someone is found to be at a high risk of falling, the person should take proactive measures to prevent a fall. This can include consulting a It’s a common belief that falls physical therapist for strengthening are just a part of aging.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Transitional (Postsurgical) Care 101 Transitional care can fill a gap between returning home from the hospital after a procedure, or a rehab facility after an associated stay. A senior in-home care agency and the care givers they provide are a good option when returning home from a surgical procedure. The healthcare reform that has been evolving over the last several decades has been moving to a shorter hospital stay, and this means patients go home before they might have in the past. This leaves that patient vulnerable, especially if they do not have a support system in place to help them with activities of daily living (ADLs) during their athome recuperation period. When you are discharged from a hospital or facility, your recovery is often just beginning. A non-medical in-home care agency makes the transition from hospital to home easier with an approach to care management that is built around patient goals and creating a safe environment for recuperation. A customized in-home assessment will take stock of what you need to successfully recover and builds a care plan around your condition and goals. The agency will provide only the most appropriate assistance with companion or personal care services to support their ongoing success. Companion care can include tasks such as transportation, shopping, medication reminders, pet care, meal prep, light housekeeping, and errands. Personal care refers to assistance with hygiene, bathroom

use, dressing, and walking. The care plan is designed with your input and is the blueprint for the activities that you need accomplished on a day-to-day basis until you are self-sufficient once again just like prior to the surgical procedure. It should spell out the days and hours of care that will occur as well as the specific tasks that must be completed. Regular visits to the doctor and any necessary followup appointments are important to a successful recovery. If you need a ride, the care agency has insured drivers who can get you there and pick up your prescriptions as you return home. Eating nutritious meals is very important to maintaining good health. It becomes even more important when special dietary requirements are necessary, such as with a post-surgical, diabetic, or congestive heart failure patient. Compliance with any post-discharge nutrition orders can be enhanced by prepared meals to meet your specific dietary needs. Many people delay or even avoid having a procedure completed due to not having in-home help when they are back in the comfort of their own home. Being in this situation may not necessarily be restricted to seniors, as anyone of any age might need supplemental help with their care after a hospital stay.

The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration.

HOSPICE CARE

When a patient with an advanced illness is ready to start the conversation about hospice, one concern inevitably arises: Where will I receive care?

bereavement specialist and volunteers—provides clinical, spiritual and psychosocial care to the patient and their family wherever they call home.

VITAS® Healthcare has over 40 years of experience providing hospice care that focuses on improving quality of life, and we’ve found that most patients fare best where they’re already most at ease: in their home.

Expert Care for the Patient—and Their Family The team will teach the designated family caregiver(s) skills for dayto-day care. Individual members of the team will coordinate and schedule regular visits. Ultimately, the patient and family are the core of the team, and their input is factored into an evolving care plan. Our team supports the patient’s family during the most difficult moments of their loved one’s last days of life. After a patient dies, VITAS offers bereavement support to the family for a minimum of 13 months. For patients with advanced illness, hospice helps make the best of those final months, weeks and days. VITAS patients enjoy being home among loved ones, free of medical expenses, and in the care of a team dedicated to their comfort and dignity.

Choosing Home over Hospital Studies show that more than 70% of people would prefer to die at home, so it’s easy to see why that’s where most hospice happens. Home offers the simple comfort of familiar faces and surroundings, and a reprieve from the hospital or emergency department. Receiving hospice care at home doesn’t mean “giving up” or compromising on quality of care. As part of the Medicare Part A hospice benefit, VITAS patients are entitled to whatever their terminal diagnosis requires. This includes medications, home medical equipment, supplies, supportive services and care from a team of experts. The interdisciplinary hospice team—nurse, hospice aide, social worker, physician, chaplain,

HOSPICE CARE

Pennsylvania Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) (also known as Portable Medical Orders) Do you or your loved one have a serious medical condition, such as advanced heart, lung, or kidney disease, cancer, liver failure, Parkinson’s, or dementia? Individuals with a serious illness may want to make very clear their wishes regarding the type of care they want to receive, or do not want to receive, if their condition progresses. The Pennsylvania Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form is a document that helps to ensure that patients’ wishes regarding medical treatments during emergency situations are made known to doctors,

nurses, and other healthcare providers. POLST is not intended to replace an advance directive (such as a living will or healthcare power of attorney). The POLST form documents the patient’s preferences for resuscitation, intensity of care, use of tube feedings, and other medical interventions. It is completed after a conversation between the patient and doctor or other healthcare provider. If a patient is unable to have the conversation, the doctor may speak to the patient’s legal medical decision-maker. POLST is valid and effective once it is signed by a doctor or nurse practi-

Hospice Care Definitions continued from 135 INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients. PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through 140 GREATER PITTSBURGH AREA - FALL 2021 - WINTER 2022

an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency. PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

If you think a POLST is right for you or your loved one, talk to your healthcare provider. Your doctor, nurse, social worker, or other healthcare professional is the best resource for information about POLST. The following websites also provide more detailed information on POLST: • www.polst.org (Watch the How Hope Grows short video) • www.papolst.org (Go to “For Patients and Families” from the home page, then select “POLST” for links to a brochure and other helpful information.)

tioner and the patient or his medical decision-maker. It then becomes a specific medical order designed to be honored by healthcare workers during a medical crisis. This is a distinctive difference from an advance directive, which identifies an individual’s preferences for future medical care or conditions. The chart below explains the difference between an Advanced Directive and POLST. The POLST form travels with the patient between care settings such as home, hospital, long-term care, or any other facility. The POLST form is printed on bright pink paper so it can be easily seen and medical choices recognized wherever someone is receiving care.

PERSONAL CARE HOMES & ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

How Senior Living Communities Focus on Nutrition A recent Time Magazine article stated that “New recommendations for U.S. dietary guidelines included the surprise suggestion that cholesterol should not be a nutrient of special concern—but added that sugar and saturated fat are still worth worrying about.” Doctors also say that if we cut out processed food and focus on eating whole foods, the instance of disease and chronic health conditions will decrease. It is essential for the elderly to maintain a healthy diet. That is where living in a senior living community can prove to be an enormous help. Most communities offer dining services with excellent, healthy meal options to ensure that those living there get the nourishment they need. Following are some of the ways senior living communities focus on nutrition: Three Balanced Meals. Senior living communities include meals prepared by expert chefs who create delicious, fresh, and healthy options that all the residents enjoy. Proper Nutrition. As people get older they become deficient in vitamins and minerals that are essential to proper health, specifically Vitamin

D and Vitamin B12. Not only do they provide three balanced meals, but also dining services at most senior living communities focus on ensuring that residents get the recommended allowances of vitamins and supplements. Dining is an Experience. Depending on the community, dining is typically done similarly to a high-end restaurant and mealtimes are social times. Chef’s Participation with Residents. Just like in a restaurant, the chef at most senior living

communities comes out before serving to go over the menu and describe each item to entice residents to look forward to their meal. Chef Accommodates Dietary Restrictions. Overall, most any chefs will prepare meals as healthy as possible by using different seasonings and spices in place of salt and preparing meals that are not laden with fat. But for those who have specific dietary

restrictions, the chef is usually able to accommodate each meal to meet those needs. Food and diet are essential to maintain optimum health. Senior living communities understand this and work hard to ensure residents get balanced nutrition. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Grace Manor at North Park. Visit www.

The BIG 3 Estate Planning Documents Though most people dread the thought of their own death, through a well-conceived and properly executed estate plan, you can protect your loved ones by leaving an organized strategy with your wishes instead of a mess. You should have at least the “Big 3” documents (as I like to call them), which are the Will, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive. Without having all three of these documents in place, you leave gaps in your plan that could cause conﬂict among your loved ones and possibly require court intervention. Let’s walk through these documents in the order that you might need to use them so that you can better understand what purposes they serve. In Pennsylvania, three components work together in a Healthcare Directive document, which affects access to healthcare information and the power to make medical decisions. First, a HIPAA Authorization will allow you to name loved ones to have access to your medical status or records from a doctor’s office or hospital. Next, a Healthcare Power of Attorney names your healthcare agents, in the order that they can serve to make medical decisions for you if you can not do so for yourself. Lastly, a Living Will communicates detailed instructions for others to follow if you end up in a permanent vegetative state due to irreversible brain damage or suffer from an end-stage medical 182 GREATER PITTSBURGH AREA - FALL 2021 - WINTER 2022

condition where you no longer have the capacity to voice your own opinion about your medical care or treatment. A Durable Power of Attorney grants another person (known as an agent) the power to make all of your financial and legal decisions. Or simply put—if you can do something for yourself, then your agent can do it for you. These powers include significant ones like banking and investments, changing beneficiaries on policies, taking out credit cards and life insurance, or filing taxes. A Last Will and Testament spells out how you wish for your assets to be distributed after your death through probate. In order for this to happen, you also need to name an executor of your estate. An executor takes on a fiduciary role to collect your assets and then will pay any final bills, funeral expenses, attorney fees, or other debts owed. Then, that executor will distribute your remaining assets according to your wishes. Editor’s Note: This article was written by Ashley E. Sharek, Esq., Sharek Law Oﬃce, LLC.

WARNING SIGNS OF A STROKE

Warning Signs of Stroke

Learn the many warning signs of a stroke. Act fast and call 911 immediately at any sign of a stroke. Use FAST to remember warning signs:

F ACE

Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A RMS

Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S PEECH Ask the person to say a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?

T IME

If you observe any of these signs, call 911 immediately.

Note the time when any symptoms first appear. If given within three hours of the first symptom, there is an FDA-approved clot-buster medication that may reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke. Learn about more signs of stroke at www.stroke.org/symp
