Life Care Planning – A Fresh Approach to As we age we navigate many changes Elder Law including social, work, physical, and financial to name a few.

We’ve become pretty good at addressing our physical, work and social opportunities. We might downsize to a smaller home as our children move out. We may plan for retirement by considering volunteer and travel opportunities. We also connect with a doctor to identify ways to stay healthy. As we are busy planning and enjoying the next phase of our lives, we sometimes forget about formally considering our legal and financial futures if faced with a life changing illness. We’ve paid into Medicare and saved into a 401K, but how do we protect ourselves and our assets in the event of an unforeseen medical crisis? One worthwhile solution is a Life Care Planning approach. Life Care Planning is a holistic, elder-centered approach to the practice of law that helps families respond to many of the challenges caused by chronic illness or disability.

Care Planning is a prevention based model rather than a crisis-oriented one. In preparation for a possible debilitating health change, an individual can educate himself on available resources, evaluate current investment/insurance/burial policies, and budget accordingly, avoiding crisis driven decisions. Second, good Life Care Planning relies on an inter-disciplinary team that evaluates current and future needs and locates and coordinates appropriate resources, helping to ensure quality care and services. When an individual receives advice from several independent sources, communication and continuity suffer and important information can fall through the cracks. In contrast, Life Care Planning offers a “one stop shop” team of specialists, including a social worker, attorney and paralegal, that provide a more comprehensive, cohesive long term care plan. Third, Life Care Planning assists with preserving family wealth. When a person requires professional inhome or residential care, families are often shocked at the cost. The Continued on page 26

hospital emergency room was a person’s only choice for an illness or injury that wouldn’t wait for normal business hours.

Today, it’s one of a menu of options for such care, from urgent cares to neighborhood micro-hospitals and stand-alone ERs. n

Defining an emergency It starts with knowing what a health emergency is. Generally speaking, it’s a serious or life-threatening condition that requires immediate attention or advanced care such as heart attack, major broken bones and large wounds. Emergency rooms, whether they are attached to a hospital or are stand-alone, are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and offer extensive testing options to care for life-threatening emergencies. Have a Plan In the event you are sick or have an emergency, you don’t want to be scrambling for where to go or what to do. Calling 911 is the obvious first step in the most serious of emergencies, but you should know what services are close to you for needs that don’t rise to such a level. n

K now where your closest emergency department is. Confirm level of care and what your insurance covers before a need arises. D ownload a virtual doctor tool, such as the Doctor On Demand

app for your phone, for nonacute care any time. Find out if your primary care doctor provides same-day visits or offers after-hours care. This is often the best option for urgent, but non-emergency medical issues. For affordable after-hours care, find out if an urgent care facility is near you, and exactly what its capabilities are. Find out where the nearest accredited Chest Pain and Certified Stroke Centers are. These emergency departments provide the best care for these specific critical issues. Keep vital information with you, Keep a list in your wallet of such information as medications, allergies, primary care doctor and advanced directives. Know your insurance, such as if you have differing co-pays for urgent care, emergency care and doctor visits. When you have a true emergency, don’t worry about insurance and call 911 immediately.

What is PACE? Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) are programs that provide comprehensive health services for individuals age 55 and over who are sufficiently frail to be categorized as “nursing home eligible” by their state’s Medicaid program. Eligibility for PACE requires that individuals be 55 years old or older, certified by the state to need nursing home-level care, reside near a PACE program, and be able to live safely in the community. Services include primary and specialty medical care, nursing, social services, therapies (occupational, physical, speech, recreation, etc.), pharmaceuticals, day health center services, home care, health-related transportation, minor modification to the home to accommodate disabilities, and anything else the program determines is medically necessary to maximize a member’s health. How PACE works: PACE programs become the insurance and the health care provider and are directly responsible for providing all health services and manage all aspects of their participant’s healthcare. PACE is paid

34 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2018-2019

through Medicaid and Medicare combined (dual eligible) or private pay on a monthly basis. Most PACE patients have multiple diagnoses, with an average of over 7 diagnoses per member. Among the most common are cardiac problems, diabetes, hypertension, and vascular disease. PACE programs tend to provide high levels of preventive services, such as very frequent check-ups, exercise programs, dietary monitoring, programs to increase strength and balance, etc. PACE programs organize their services in a “PACE Center”. These Centers have a Day Center, medical clinic, social services and rehabilitation services, along with administrative staff, all in one site. Members attend centers from rarely to 5 days a week, depending on their care plans. Care planning is done with the member, his or her care team, and appropriate family members; most members attend about 2 days per week. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Leslie Mader. Leslie is the Manager of Outreach and Enrollment for TRU PACE based in Lafayette, CO. She may be reached at 303-665-0115 or lesliemader@trucare.org. See ad on page 35.

Ask a Doctor: Talking Social isolation is a serious About Isolation problem with older adults that is expected to increase. and Loneliness There are many reasons we become isolated as we age, including loss of a loved one; health challenges like low vision, hearing impairment, limited mobility; and external barriers such as lack of transportation. Dr. Elise Reinhard discusses why your Primary Care Provider (PCP) is a good person to tell about feelings of isolation and loneliness. Why should I tell my PCP if I feel isolated? Dr. Reinhard: Isolation is an issue affecting your emotional, mental and even physical health. Studies have shown that socially isolated older adults are at greater risk for depression, unrecognized memory problems, malnutrition, poor health, and medical emergencies. Patients have told me they consider these feelings a normal part of aging that can’t be changed. The good news is that things can be done to help. How can my PCP help? Dr. Reinhard: Talking to anyone about these feelings is the first step in affecting change, but your doctor

may have some suggestions to improve emotional and physical issues contributing to your isolation. A PCP is trained to support all aspects of your life: physical, mental, and emotional. You don’t need to have a physical symptom to bring up feelings of isolation or loneliness with your doctor. How can I talk to my doctor about isolation and loneliness? Dr. Reinhard: Many people have difficulty talking about their feelings. Letting your doctor know that this is an issue you are dealing with ahead of time is a great way to start the conversation. I suggest sending your doctor an email or letter before your appointment. If you have feelings of hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, or loneliness talk to your doctor to see how they can help. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Elise Reinhard, MD.

A Season for Full Community It was once said that, “Aging is Participation not ‘lost youth,’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” The wisdom of this statement is demonstrated well by those seniors who, upon entering this new life stage, actively contribute to their community. Unfortunately, people of all ages often view seniors primarily as passive recipients of community services rather than full participants who also give back. While seniors may in fact need specific services and support, the act of also contributing to their community leads to the greater good of all. What do these new opportunities and strengths look like for individuals entering the senior stage of life? They can manifest in a number of ways, including a greater self-awareness of one’s individual skills and talents, an increased amount of available time, and wisdom born from diverse life experiences. And while it is true that physical, social, economic, and other challenges may come with aging, it is nonetheless vital for a community’s health that seniors seek to contribute in meaningful ways. If you need help figuring out how to give back to your community, Cultivate, a nonprofit formerly known

as Boulder County CareConnect, is ready to assist you. With a passion for helping seniors reconnect—as recipients and contributors—with their surrounding communities, they offer a variety of volunteer opportunities in which to participate. They are also the local RSVP connection, meaning they are equipped to match volunteers with meaningful opportunities through other organizations. Don’t be too quick, however, to look beyond what’s already right in front of you. Invite the neighbor who may not have family living nearby over for dessert. Visit the local library you already frequent and read to a group of young children. Simply give a smile and a friendly hello to the folks you encounter on a daily basis. The opportunities are endless. Our communities need your participation—both your presence and resources—to contribute not only to your own personal flourishing, but also to that of the entire community. Consider how you might start contributing today! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Shun-Luoi Fong, Director of Communications at Cultivate.

How to Keep Your Spine Healthy It is not uncommon to experience increased aches, pains and joint stiffness as we age. When it comes to the spine, some decline in function and flexibility may be expected. Here’s what you should know about what happens to your spine as you age, and ways to help prevent back pain and injuries. Common spinal conditions in older adults may manifest themselves in symptoms such as early morning back pain, leg pain when standing and walking, loss of height and more. n

S pinal arthritis develops as the cartilage separating the facet joints gradually breaks down over time. Symptoms include low back pain and stiffness that seem worse in the morning and at the end of the day, including after an extended period of physical activity. Osteoarthritis may also cause radiating leg pain known as sciatica. L umbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in low back and leg pain that characteristically occurs while standing or walking but dissipates once you sit down or lean forward. Pain may also occur with symptoms of sciatica including tingling and numbness in the buttocks and legs.

isk degeneration and narrowing of D the spinal canal may occur as the natural part of the aging process. These changes cause spaces in the spine to narrow and press against the spinal nerves. Many people with spinal stenosis also have spondylolisthesis, where one spine bone “slips” forward over the one below. Nerve pressure from these conditions can result in leg pain, tingling, or numbness that gets worse when walking or standing, and improves when sitting or bending forward.

While not all back pain can be avoided, it is never too late to start protecting yourself against preventable spine problems. This starts with exercising regularly to keep off excess weight and strengthen the core muscles in your back and abdomen. n

HEALTH AT HOME - HOME HEALTH AGENCIES

Helping Individuals With Parkinson’s The challenges faced by individuals Disease with Parkinson’s disease (PD), even within their own homes, can be many and varied. PD is a disease that develops and worsens slowly over time. Symptoms range widely from motor symptoms (like tremors, coordination, balance, walking deficits, lack of facial expression, decreased vocal volume and inflection) to non-motor symptoms (like depression, anxiety, constipation, lethargy). Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, depending on how long they have had the disease, what sorts of treatments they employ, as well as other disease processes and other factors which may impact them. Treatments which can be used to successfully manage the symptoms and may assist with slowing the disease progression include medication management, evidence-based, PD-specific exercise programs and possibly surgery. Skilled home care agencies working with these individuals are in the unique position of seeing exactly what challenges patients with PD and their care partners face in their homes. Symptoms can fluctuate, sometimes in an unpredictable manner. Skilled home health staff can help to improve safety and function within the home, as well as help with the transition back to the community.

84 BOULDER COUNTY - OCTOBER 2018-2019

Within the home, individuals with Parkinson’s disease may struggle with slow, small movements which can affect their ability to dress, bathe, move in bed and prepare food efficiently and safely. Deficits in walking caused by PD may make it difficult to negotiate changes in flooring, small spaces and doorways, and may also increase an individual’s risk for falls. Individuals with PD and their care partners may require community resources and/or may need to find additional caregiver help in the home and information regarding finances and planning for the future. Lack of facial expression, deficits in speech and decreased breath support may impact communication and individuals may have cognitive deficits. Correct and timely medication regimens are also integral to safe and efficient management of symptoms. Home health clinicians with specialized training coordinate closely with all team members to target the deficits associated with Parkinson’s disease. RNs, PTs, OTs, STs, MSWs and CNAs enable their patients with PD to meet their goals and maximize their potential. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Susie Lefebvre, PT, of Boulder Community Home Care.

Many agencies admit patients to hospice,24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays. AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being.

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Many provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting. 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.

Your Brain: Top Ten Things Taking care of your brain is just You Need to Know as important as taking care of your body. Below are the top ten things you should know about brain health as you age. Taking care of your brain is just as important as taking care of your body. Below are the top ten things you should know about brain health as you age. Use it or lose it. Exercising your brain is key to maintaining its functioning. Do things that are new and challenging to best work your brain. You can grow new brain cells. This is scientifically proven for brains of all ages. Exercise, nutrition, and mental stimulation are the keys to growing new brain cells. Your brain is constantly changing. The pathways in your brain are not fixed and static. Through a process known as “neuroplasticity,” our brains are constantly rewiring and changing. The more we are learning, the more this process occurs. Brain exercise can lower the likelihood of dementia. Research has clearly demonstrated that increased cognitive activity levels are associated with significantly lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Social activities are important. Participating in cognitively engaging activities with others have positive effects on brain health. Some functional decline is normal. The speed and accuracy

of recall and some types of cognitive functioning do decline as the brain ages. By taking care of your brain in the ways listed above, however, you can have a significant positive impact on this process. Functional improvements are possible. Under the right circumstances, the brain can recover many apparent age-related losses. Purpose and meaning in life are beneficial to your brain. The more you engage in activities that have meaning, purpose and joy for you, the healthier your brain will be. As the saying goes, “When you stop growing, you start dying.” Lifelong Learning can keep you young! Henry Ford once said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” You can create your own brain health plan. For a variety of resources on how to take charge of your own brain health, go to www. activeminds.com/brains.html. ~

Memory Loss vs. Forgetfulness: How If your mom and dad are to Recognize the advancing in years, chances are you’ve noticed some Difference changes in their memory, like not remembering where they parked or forgetting to grab eggs at the grocery store.

But where’s the line between “this is a normal part of aging” and “dad may need help”? Here are some signs to look for when assessing whether or not your parent might be having a significant decline in their memory.

1) Repetitive short-term memory loss A lot of times, seniors with memory loss can recall the name of every friend they had 30 years ago, but they can’t remember what they ate for breakfast. Checking your parents’ short-term memory is easy: ask them questions about their day. If they have a hard time with their responses, that might be a red flag.

2) Difficulty following storylines If your mom has a puzzled look on her face every time you explain why you had a rough day at work or try to catch her up on your favorite TV show, you might want to look into other symptoms of memory loss. Why? Because memory loss impairs our abilities to recognize words, both visually and audibly. So, if your mom can’t follow your stories, it may be because she doesn’t recognize some of the words you’re using. 3) Failing sense of direction Did your dad always have an impeccable sense of direction that guided your family through every summer vacation, but now he needs to pull out a map? Chances are, that’s a normal part of aging. But what if your dad gets lost on his way to the same grocery store he’s gone to for 15 years? Or takes the wrong turn on his routine morning walk around the block? If your mom or dad has multiple episodes of being disoriented in familiar places, that may be a sign of more significant memory loss. 4) Skipping parts of their daily routine We all have days where we put less effort into our appearContinued on page 120

Memory Loss vs. Forgetfulness: How to Recognize the Difference continued from page 112 ance (messy hair and sweat pants, anyone?) but if your mom goes days without brushing her teeth or changing her clothes, or if she appears to be avoiding bathing altogether, that might be a cause for concern. If you can’t see your mom every day, some things to look for when you visit are unkempt hair, uncommonly bad breath or stained clothes. 5) Losing things… a lot. Have you ever been in a panic over misplacing something important and thought to yourself “where is the last place I had it?” People with memory loss have a really hard time answering

that question, so a lot of their stuff, important, mundane, or anywhere in between, gets lost and stays lost. Also, people with memory loss sometimes stash things away in “safe” places and forget where they are, compounding the lost-and-can’t-befound conundrum. If care at home is not working well, it could be time for a transition to senior living. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Northglenn Heights.
