f the many mysteries surrounding Alzheimer’s, one of the most puzzling is why more women than men develop the disease (spoiler alert: it is not simply because women tend to live longer than men). In the United States, nearly two-thirds of the more than 6 million people living with Alzheimer’s — or about 3.8 million individuals — are women. A woman's estimated lifetime risk of developing Alzheimer's at age 65 is 1 in 5. As real of a concern as breast cancer is to women's health, women in their 60s are about twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's during the rest of their lives as they are to develop breast cancer.

While more research is needed, recent studies support a possible theory that events that happen across someone’s lifespan — like those associated with reproduction — may impact their dementia risk. Nonbiological factors may be at play as well. Work and family patterns, which have changed drastically over the last 100 years, may play a role in a woman’s memory decline. Women who participated in the paid labor force between early adulthood and middle age experienced slower memory decline in late life, building on previous research that associates work and education with higher levels of cognitive engagement.

WOMEN & ALZHEIMER’S

WOMEN & ALZHEIMER'S

Just as with any disease, early detection is critical. Talk to your doctor. Educate yourself on the early warning signs. Learn about ways to possibly reduce your risk of developing dementia.

Women are disproportionately impacted by Alzheimer's and dementia Quick facts

Approximately 11 million women in the United States are either living with Alzheimer's or caring for someone who has it. Almost two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer's are women Women in their 60s are more than twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease More than 60% of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers are women and, more specifically, over one-third of dementia caregivers are daughters. Women take on more caregiving tasks than their male counterparts - and care for people with more cognitive, functional, and/or behavioral challenges. Nearly 19% of women Alzheimer's caregivers had to quit work either to become a caregiver or because their caregiving duties became too burdensome. For more information visit alz.org/women

SQUAD 51 REPLICA IN NORTH TEXAS!

If you're located in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex, you may spot this 1991 Dodge D-350 replica of the Rescue Squad 51 from the 1970's show "Emergency!" This particular truck was formerly a service vehicle for the University of Arizona when it was purchased and refurbished by a firefighter/paramedic in California to resemble the truck from the show. He rebuilt the truck and later sold it where it bounced around various auction houses before a private sale to a gentleman in Michigan. He installed several intricate details from the show and other features from the era.

The truck has now been purchased by Philip Perdue and Firefighter Roofing to showcase at firefighter and first responder-related charity causes. Funds raised will support DFW Scanner Donates, a North Texasbased 501c3 that supports first responders in various capabilities.

EMERGENCY SQUAD 51 REPLICA IN NORTH TX

GRANDPARENT SCAMS

Grandparent Scams Fraud is on the rise, and one of the most popular scams is the Grandparent Scam. This scam hit close to home when my step-father, who lives in Mississippi received an odd call from a man claiming to be my son. The caller had greeted him with, “Hi Grandpa, it’s Chris. I’ve been in a car accident, I’m bleeding and in jail. I need you to call my lawyer.” The caller sounded a bit like my son, but it made no sense that he would be calling his grandpa two states away for help. I checked in on my son, who

was sound asleep in his bed and had not been in an accident. My step-father had been the target of a Grandparent Scam! Grandparent Scams involve an imposter posing as a grandchild who is in trouble: they’ve been in an accident, or arrested. Once they have the grandparent concerned and ready to help, they hand the phone off to another scammer posing as a police officer or lawyer who then will make arrangements to have the grandparent wire money to them.

This scam is on the rise, but you can protect yourself by following these 5 tips: 1) Set privacy settings on your social media accounts. 2) Ask questions that only your grandchild could answer. 3) Tell the caller you will call them back, then call your grandchild’s cell number. 4) Contact other family members to verify the story. 5) Trust your gut instinct. Fraud targeting older people should be reported to the FTC at 877-382-4357. Article submitted by Lori Williams with Lori Williams Senior Services

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. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. 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. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients.

IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting. LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals”. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. Continued on page 104 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 101

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 101

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. PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care. Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team

can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria. PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare. VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

DOWNSIZING hen it comes to moving, we are all looking for ways to maximize the process while reducing our stress, responsibilities, errands, and belongings. The definition of downsizing is reduction. We have all been there in one capacity or another – collecting too many items in our home. From your closet to the kitchen “junk” drawer, maybe your spare room, or garage - it can happen anywhere. When you are moving, cleaning out these areas on your own can be a challenge. There are solutions and resources to help with downsizing. Hiring a professional move management team trained to help make the right downsizing decisions is a start. Some experts say the process of minimizing excess in your home can feel liberating. How you move matters so these 6 downsizing “surprises” will hopefully inspire you to start the journey.

Here are 6 surprising benefits to downsizing: 1. Honoring your decisions means honoring you and your desire for a happier life. 2. Once you get started you won’t want to stop. Before you know it, you will be done. 3. Saying “yes” to donating is rewarding. Donating is all about helping others. 4. Your feelings will guide you toward success. Keep what you love, pass on the rest. K N O W M O R E

5. Reliving stories is a wonderful and necessary part of the process. 6. Your children will thank you. Maybe not now but they will definitely thank you later.

MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Medication

What is Medication Management?

Medication management is the process of ensuring the medications prescribed for a patient are taken properly and achieving their planned, therapeutic outcome. A critical aspect of successful medication management is medication adherence which means taking the right dose, at the right time, in the right way and frequency. Many patients do not follow health-care provider instructions on how to take medications for various reasons. Such as, not understanding the directions, forgetfulness, multiple medications with different regimens, unpleasant side effects or the medication doesn’t seem to be working.

Importance of Medication Management? 20 to 30 percent of new prescriptions are never filled at the pharmacy. Medication is not taken

138 GREATER DALLAS – SPRING 2022–2023

as prescribed 50 percent of the time. For patients prescribed medications for chronic diseases, after six months, the majority take less medication than prescribed or stop the medication altogether. Only 51 percent of patients taking medications for high blood pressure continue taking their medication during their long-term treatment. The results of this are poor health outcomes, increased doctor visits, potential overdoses, and increased readmissions to the hospital, particularly for people with chronic conditions. Prolonged illness can weaken immune systems and physical strength, causing additional illness or falls. And poor outcomes can land patients back in the hospital or on a revolving door of doctor visits. Your pharmacist is an expert in medications, find one that you trust to work with you and your doctor on how best to take your medications.

Tips For Managing Medications:

Taking photos of the prescription labels using a smartphone may be useful. Ask your doctor or pharmacy about the benefits of pharmacy “pill packs" or other medication management services. Visit with your doctor or pharmacist about known drug interactions with supplements or other the counter medications. Seek recommendations and information on an automated, pill reminder app.

If medication side effects are bothering you, talk with your doctor or pharmacist immediately to find a solution. Make sure you understand how long to take the medication. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if medication cost is an issue. For example, our pharmacist can help shop coupons for you to manage costs. Set daily routines to take medication. Keep Your Medications Keep medications where Safe you’ll notice them. Keep your medications out Use daily dosing of direct sunlight and containers or RX Med heat. Packs. Keep your medicine away Keep a written or from pets and children. computerized schedule for Don't store your reminders. medications with other family member medicines Active Ways To Stay On or household cleaners.

COMMUNICATION

Communication

in Long Term Care Settings: Tips for LTC Facilities

Communication between Long Term Care Facilities with a family member, can go a long way and set a very strong foundation for the families to feel assured and safe with their loved one’s care. With the set back of COVID-19, along with other barriers there has been a change in the typical customer service communications. There are many psycho-social studies that show there is already a lot of guilt, stress, anger, exhaustion, financial burden, and distrust by the time that they reach the point to admit their loved one in LTC setting. It is crucial to be extra sensitive about his matter when assisting a family member in this process.

Long Term Care Communication Tips: Reduce Confusion: Upon admission is the best time to reduce confusion by taking time to explain Director Roles, also be sure to provide them with their cards so that they can make notes of who will be calling and the purpose of the communication. Visitation: It can be very frustrating for families when they do not understand or have a very clear picture of the visitation process. High Communication: Communication is key, when you are dealing with people’s loved ones, whether it is financials, health insurance, hospitalizations, new treatments, progress, or onset of new illnesses. Communications leads the way to a happy family and a happy resident. Article submitted by Valerie Niebrand with Highlands Guest Care Center.
