True numbers are hard to obtain as some aides do not work for organizations per se, but work directly with families of older adults or there are other arrangements. Whatever the work setting, aides need to be valued more. The numbers are staggering and speak for themselves. Anyone working, practicing or managing in health care should be very concerned. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) (retrieved online November, 2017), there were 2,927,600 jobs in 2016 for home health aides and personal care aides. Their job outlook for 20162026 is projected to grow 40%. Similarly, jobs for nursing assistants and orderlies are also projected to grow at 11% faster than average. We know that about 10,000 Americans are turning 65 every day – a huge population of baby boomers. We also know that when asked, people generally want to be cared for in their home. Aides can make the difference from a safety and quality perspec-

tive. They can allow someone to remain at home with proper support and assistance. This may range from personal care activities to assistance with daily living. When an aide working in home care needs to be absent from work, there may be no one else in the home, to continue the needed care. Some people at home cannot even get out of bed or use the toilet, without the help of a trained aide. This is unlike an assisted living or other “inpatient” building where there are aides “down the hall” and onsite supervisors and nursing directors. We must recognize the value of aides—whatever the title and work setting. Simply put, those who nurture and retain their aides – will have them. It can be heartbreaking for a family or the recipient of care to learn that their beloved and sometime long-term aide left because they needed a .50 cent raise. Call to action: How do we value and “take care of” our aides? What do we offer aides that others may not? Do we provide day care? Do we provide a living wage? Do we provide transportation when that is identified as a problem? For those us in the health and healthcare business, it is time to consider how we thank our aides and demonstrate their value. The holidays are a great time of the year to do just that!

This is a question I get asked a lot! With hundreds of communities to choose from in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlottte counties how do you go about picking one? My guess is that someone picks up a magazine, goes online, or gets recommendations from friends, family, etc. While these can all be good resources, there are some SERIOUS matters you need to consider. First is SAFETY. Is the community you are going to SAFE as deemed by the state of Florida? Does it meet your loved one’s care needs? (did

How NOT to Select a Medicare Plan Choosing a Medicare Plan can be overwhelming for most. If you are coming out of a group plan, aging into Medicare, recently moved, on disability or Medicaid or exploring options during Open Enrollment, there are specific plan features to consider. Let’s explore what to do and what NOT to do when reviewing your Medicare plan options. Do NOT go with a plan because it’s your friends’ plan. My first question to a Medicare beneficiary is, how did you select this plan? The answer 95% of the time is “because my neighbor or friend is on the plan”. That is great for them, but may not

be for you. What TO do? Consider your physicians, medications, travel and budget to name a few. It’s important to have a professional review all of the options to determine which plan and carrier is right for you, your finances and lifestyle.

Plymouth Harbor on Sarasota Bay Features New Memory Care Center Plymouth Harbor on Sarasota Bay, a not-for-profit Life Plan Community*, opened its new Northwest Garden building in January 2018. The Northwest Garden Building, located on the west side of Plymouth Harbor’s campus, includes 30 new Assisted Living residences, 30 new Memory Care residences, and 10 luxury Residential Living apartments. The Starr Memory Care Residence is a new featured addition to Plymouth Harbor, and specifically focuses on providing personalized care and services for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementiarelated conditions. The Assisted Living and Memory Care residences are also available to the general community for direct admissions. The new assisted living residences are located on the first and second floors. These spacious residences offer between 500-600 square feet for a one bedroom apartment to over 900 square feet for a two bedroom apartment and are designed for those who would benefit from more assistance in daily living. Three separate courtyard gardens, designed as welcoming gardens for assisted living and

memory care residents provides an opportunity for a safe, secure outdoor experience for residents and family members. Whether a sunny stroll, pleasant social visit, or taking in the wonderful aromas of the plant life, the courtyard gardens offer a wonderful change of pace for residents. Each garden offers a water feature and convenient seating for social visits. The Starr Memory Care Residence features two neighborhoods made up of 15 residences for a total of 30. Each memory care neighborhood accommodates 15 residents in private suites. Each neighborhood is equipped with a home-like kitchen and dining room. Residents may opt to prepare a meal or simply dine together with friends and family. The dining rooms are designed for open seating, casual dining, daily cooking activities, and is accessible around the clock, just like home. Other amenities include a Reflection Room, a Salon/Spa, Sensory Circles and Family Room. *Plymouth Harbor on Sarasota Bay, founded in 1966, is a not-for-profit corporation which operates as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) regulated under Chapter 651, Florida Statutes.

We realize that a diagnosis of dementia affects all family members, not only the resident. Because of this, we plan to offer on-going family support and one-on-one counseling through collaborations with nationally recognized leaders, as well as education and training for community members outside of the Plymouth Harbor campus. Finally, we will host internationally-known speakers who will share information on the latest research and treatments being tested and offered throughout the world. 80 MANATEE, SARASOTA & CHARLOTTE COUNTIES – WINTER/SPRING 2018

Hope When Other Treatments Have Failed Gulf Coast Ketamine Center is on a mission to infuse life with hope. KETAMINE INFUSION THERAPY Ketamine infusions can help people who thought they were out of medical options, taking narcotic painkillers or antidepressants with undesirable side effects. Treatments are typically reserved for individuals who have not responded to more conventional therapies. Ketamine is effective because it works in the spine and brain through a different set of nerve receptors — known as NMDA receptors – than traditional antidepressants and pain relievers.That’s one reason it may be successful in helping individuals manage mental health disorders, including various types of depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s also efficient in relieving neuropathic pain disorders, such as CRPS/RSD, chronic severe headaches and migraines, fibromyalgia, and the symptoms of Lyme disease, among others. “We have observed dramatic improvement in some patient’s depressive symptoms, mood and dysthymia, often after just one infusion. In others, the changes may be subtler.” These subtle changes may include improved sleep, improved focus and concentration, more desire to engage with family and friends, etc. It is important to realize that every patient responds differently and that subtle signs of improvement in function are

generally cause for optimism in completing an initial series of infusions. MEDICAL MARIJUANA Over the past year, the ratification of Amendment 2 in Florida has allowed for patients with qualifying conditions to obtain Medical Marijuana (MM). The process begins with a visit to a physician who is certified by the state of Florida to determine if a patient qualifies. Qualifying Medical Conditions There are 12 medical conditions defined in the Florida medical marijuana initiative. However, the law also states that any medical condition in which the physician believes the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient may also be used. The medical conditions specifically defined in Florida’s medical marijuana law are: Cancer, Epilepsy, Glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, Seizures, Crohn’s disease, Chronic muscle spasms, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, Multiple sclerosis The benefits of Medical Marijuana are becoming more evident every day. Please call us at 941-213-4444 to see if one of these treatments may be right for you. Editor’s Note: Dr. Steven Reichbach has expertise using ketamine for the past 25 years.

Surviving the Medicare Donut Hole Most Medicare Prescription Drug Plans have a coverage gap known as “the donut hole”. In 2018, the coverage gap begins after you and your drug plan have spent $3,750.00. At that point, you start paying out of pocket. Many expensive brand name drugs are available as generics through approved international pharmacies that aren’t available yet in the U.S. Those medications are not included in the calculation toward the donut

Making the decision to move, whether downsizing to a smaller home or moving to one of the many beautiful retirement communities in the area, the process can be both exciting and stressful at the same time.

With so many things to consider….“What will I do with all of my stuff”, “What is my home worth in today’s market”, “Who will help me” the next logical question becomes “Where will I begin”? Scott and Kelli Nold’s personal experiences with transitioning their own parents from hundreds of miles away left much to be desired and they immediately recognized the need for a very well thought out and efficiently organized transition plan in our local market. They needed a local Realtor, mover, clean-out and hauling services, liquidation services, landscapers, a handyman… and the list went on. The countless tasks involved were time-consuming and stressful. There was not a single person/organization in the area that could provide intelligent answers. There are many challenges, emotions, and legal issues that can accompany transitioning and moving, and the unfamiliarity with the process only compounded the stress.

Based upon this experience, the Nold’s immediately forged a complete service plan to provide their transitioning clients with advice and resources tailored to fit each of their personal objectives, as opposed to simply one-sizefits-all suggestions that some others offer. Getting the best advice possible at the start makes all the difference. All clients will have access to market research and experience-based analysis and are provided with several possible outcomes and opportunities for diversification by representatives who are willing to put their years of experience to work for you to help you to make prudent financial decisions. From “Clean-out to Close”, The Nold Group’s well-established, full service Real Estate sales team is designed to address any challenges and keep you fully informed throughout all aspects of the transaction. Rest assured you will receive straightforward and timely answers throughout the process from people who have walked in your shoes and will advocate for your needs.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Home care provides seniors with the choice to age at home and promotes peace of mind and wellness for family caregivers. For seniors with challenging physical and cognitive impairments who require help with activities of daily living, home care is the solution. But home care also benefits those who are still in good health. Can You Benefit from Home Care Services? First In Care private-pay home care is an innovative solution that helps seniors maintain healthy and active lifestyles. Our caregivers receive professional training, enabling them to

assist in daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, transportation, running errands, and light housework. More importantly, First In Care caregivers provide companionship and mental stimulation by engaging clients in conversation and other activities. They communicate with clients’ families and healthcare professionals to ensure continuing safety by alerting them to potential signs of declining health or other risk factors.

“I was going to stay in my house, which I did for two years, but it started getting a little hard because I was walking with a walker and my balance started declining.” The balance issue began affecting one of her passions - cooking - as she could not use both hands in the kitchen. It required a lot of assistance from her children, and she came to the realization that she was putting that burden on their shoulders.

Eleanor Holsinger

“I decided it was time for me to downsize. It was very hard, but I made up my mind that my kids needed their lives.” She mentioned her intention to her children and they restarted the process of looking for a perfect fit.

DISCOVERY VILLAGE AT SARASOTA BAY

When Eleanor Holsinger’s husband died several years ago, her son and daughter thought she should move into an independent living community, but she was fiercely committed to staying in her own home and being her own person.

DISCOVERY VILLAGE

“While she was looking, my daughter heard about this place,” Holsinger said. “There wasn’t even one brick put up here yet, but when I heard about it, I said yes!” That ‘place’ was Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay, which features 126 residential supervised independent living, assisted living, and memory care apartment homes. With a staggering 120,000 square feet available, there’s something for everyone including a theater, salon, barber shop, library, fitness center, heated therapy pool, dining room, club room, bistro, and more! “I’m very happy and satisfied. I have a beautiful courtyard view, and everybody on the team is just wonderful; they treat you like a person, not a number,” she says. “They have so many activities and I can’t go to all of them! I try to keep myself busy and out of my apartment.” “This place is very accommodating. There’s no request that’s too much for them.”
