WE’RE MAKING IDAHO AN EVEN BETTER PLACE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.

We’re working hard to make Idaho a better place to live, work and play. When con artists try to separate you from your money, we’re there with the Idaho attorney general hosting statewide identity theft and fraud conferences. When family caregivers need resources to keep loved ones at home, we‘re ghting at the Idaho State Legislature to get them the help they need and deserve. And when you want to stay sharp and engaged, we’re offering exceptional continuing education classes designed exclusively for people 50+.

… AND

"After visiting a number of senior facilities throughout Boise, our mother and family agreed MorningStar was the right fit. The staff is so well trained and genuinely invested in the residents. The atmosphere is active, friendly and inclusive. If there is a concern, it is quickly addressed.”

MORNINGSTAR SENIOR LIVING OF BOISE

“MorningStar of Boise has been a wonderful residence for my 93-year old mother. It is the second senior living facility she has lived in, and the difference between the two are like night and day. The management team is not sequestered in their offices away from residents. It is clear to me that compassion and genuine caring of residents is an essential part of MorningStar's mission, which is communicated and acted upon from the top down. She is happy at MorningStar; and for that, I am grateful."

Care Management there to advocate for you to ensure your medical choices will be carried out as planned. A Care Manager can even help find appropriate housing solutions, including independent, senior care communities and skilled nursing homes.

Few people know about Care Management. This article explains what it is, how it works, and who can benefit. Care Management focuses on managing a person’s healthcare needs and best interests. It is available for people with aging related issues, mental health, traumatic brain injury, or developmental issues. When someone hires a Care Manager, an Assessment is conducted to gather psychosocial, medical, and personal information to determine the appropriate care and services. Using this information, a Care Plan is created. A Care Manager works with medical personnel, conservators, attorneys, and others to meet the individual’s unique needs and assures that doctor’s orders are followed and medications are ordered. The Care Manager is there to advocate for the best possible outcomes during medical appointments, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. He or she works with discharge planners and social workers to assure a smooth transition home with the appropriate support services in place. Care Managers can also provide a cost-effective way to prepare for your health care needs using a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care so you know someone will be

Who needs Care Management? Seniors without family to make medical decisions for them, as well as those with families that live out of the area. Families who are in crisis or realize caring for a loved one is creating a hardship. People whose loved one is being combative and could benefit from professional guidance and assistance to help restore the relationship. Family members who travel on business or vacation and want someone local to advocate for their loved ones in their absence. ~

Don’t Get Caught Paying Too Much A group of local dentists have For Dental Care organized themselves to offer seniors an affordable alternative to dental insurance.

Traditional dental insurance is one method for individuals to pay for dental care. However, seniors are at a disadvantage when losing access to dental insurance that an employer may have previously provided. Data now shows that only 50% of the population has dental insurance. Patients feel that dental insurance is limited and costly and are looking for alternatives. The other 50% of the population feel “on their own” when it comes to paying for dental services and simply don’t seek the dental care they need to maintain their dental and overall health. In response, independent dentists in Idaho have organized themselves to offer a non-insurance alternative. It’s called, The Dental Benefit Program. Here is how it works and specifically, why it works. Most dentists become network providers and accept discounted contractual fees to be included on

a dental insurance plan. In this fashion, they receive new patients steered to their practices. In like fashion, a group of local dentists are willing to accept similar discounted fees to reach the many patients who do not have access to dental insurance. The Dental Benefit Program has been available to employer groups and individuals. You only pay for the dental services you receive at the published, discounted rates. There are no premiums to pay, no annual maximums, no waiting periods, no deductibles, no age limits, and no claims to process! Every type of dental procedure is included for general and specialty dentistry. Simply go to www.DentalBenefitProgram.com and choose GET STARTED - NO COST. Enroll using the Group ID# SBB01. It takes minutes and it’s free. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by The Dental Benefit Program. 888397-6453. www.dentalbenefitprogram. com Use Group ID# SBB01 to enroll.

Paperwork…Paperwork… Sorting through the paperwork of What Should a deceased loved one is a daunting task. It is important to know I keep? what to keep and what to discard. Here are some helpful tips.

Deeds, Titles and Vehicle Registrations Deeds and titles to property may not be obvious on the face of the document so it is important to read everything carefully. Keep anything that has a legal description (“Lots and Blocks” or “Metes and Bounds”), a vehicle identification number (VIN), contains the word “title,” “deed of trust” or “warranty deed.” Receipts Some property does not have a title such as a tractor, farm equipment or certain recreational equipment. In such cases, keep the purchase receipts for this type of property. It will be useful if there is a question about ownership, the value of the property or the date it was purchased. Bank Records Save all bank records and statements. These will be valuable if a dispute arises about ownership of an account, payments or distributions made from the account and to whom. Shred unused checks. Retirement Accounts Save all statements and records

26 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2018

pertaining to the decedent’s individual retirement accounts (IRAs), 401(k) plans or pension plans. Life Insurance Policies Save all life insurance policies. Social Security Paperwork and Earning Statements Save information about the decedent’s Social Security account or earning statements. Cancel the Decedent’s Credit Card Accounts Nowadays, identity theft is a huge issue. Contact Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to report the death of your loved one. Request the credit report be flagged as “Deceased.” Being proactive prevents a lot of hassle later on. Cancel all credit cards in the deceased person’s name. Also, there may be questions about the credit card purchase of certain items or property. Save credit card statements until probate of the decedent’s estate is complete. Documents that contain the decedent’s Social Security Number If you find any documents with the decedent’s Social Security Number and you make a determination that the documents are not going to be saved, make sure it all gets shredded.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Loan Paperwork Keep all loan paperwork including loans on property or a loan the decedent made to a relative, friend, individual or organization. This may show that there is outstanding debt or money owed to the decedent’s estate. Business Agreements Sometimes people have business agreements that have been documented in writing. Such agreements may contain a succession plan, what should happen with business equipment or property, or what should happen upon the death of a business partner. Military Records Save all military records just in case there are benefits owed to a survivor such as a spouse, dependent child or disabled child. Some benefits are dependent upon verification of military service during war time which occurred prior to the

u u u u u u u

advent of computer records. This includes photographs taken during wartime. Birth and Marriage Certificates Save all birth and marriage certificates. Again, for certain benefits for survivors, such certificates may be needed. Timeframe for Keeping Paperwork It is advisable to keep these potentially important documents until the estate of the decedent is settled, at a minimum. Otherwise keep them at least seven years and longer if possible, especially if real estate is involved.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Tax Records Keep the decedent’s tax records. There may be a question about real property valuation, exemption or other issues that can be resolved by information in a tax return.

may be keeping a secret!

We know they aren’t doing it on purpose, but we also know that many of the vets who are eligible for it aren’t using what’s available. Here are a couple of things to know: First, vets just don’t know about it, haven’t heard about, don’t know someone who is using it. It seems that each vet upon separation from the military should be educated on this possibility and then any time he or she revisits a VA facility for medical or other help, especially as he or she reaches age 65. We know that the VA is huge (230,000 employees) but our homeless and destitute vets deserve our best efforts. Second, even when they know about the benefit dealing with the VA is difficult so many just don’t bother. The forms themselves can be overwhelming. Gathering the information is daunting. Dealing with the personnel at the VA is exasperating.

The process can be difficult for our team and is almost impossible for an older vet or widow. Third, many vets don’t think they deserve the benefit and want to preserve it for someone who needs it more than they do. First, they served. They’ve earned this benefit and so much more. Second, the VA budget process is mandatory for the pension benefit program. This means that a good chunk of money (much more than is used) is set aside each year to fund this benefit.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

What Vets and Surviving Spouses Should Know About When it comes to the VA Aid & Attendance (more accurately called VA Benefits the Pension Benefit program), the VA

If you’re a vet, the surviving spouse of a vet, child of a vet, friend of a vet, neighbor of a vet, caretaker of a vet, just happen to know a vet, then you need to get educated on the Pension Benefit or Aid & Attendance program and make sure the vet you know is taken care of. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Idaho Estate Planning, 453 S.

Memory Loss and Hearing Function – While hearing loss often presents What You Need a host of emotional complications, such as feelings of frustration, to Know research now ties hearing loss with additional health conditions.

Recent research from Johns Hopkins drew a connection between varying levels of hearing difficulty and diminished mental health. This included increased difficulty walking and dementia. Along with hearing loss, individuals demonstrated general brain function loss, resulting in forgetfulness, impaired thinking and fluctuations in mood or personality. About the research Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D. led the study. It tracked and analyzed 639 adults over 12 years. Brain scans showed degeneration occurred at a faster rate in those with hearing loss over those without. The study concluded that: n Individuals with mild hearing loss were two times as likely to have dementia. n Those with moderate hearing loss were three times as likely to have dementia. n Individuals with severe hearing loss were five times as likely to have dementia. Why does hearing loss contribute to mental deterioration? We don’t know for sure. However, medical practitioners believe that

social isolation may play a role. Individuals with hearing loss tend to disconnect and withdraw from their social world. As a result, they miss out on conversations and everyday

interactions that stimulate the brain. Without the frequent mental stimulation of socializing, the brain may begin to undergo atrophy. Therefore, an individual’s diminished hearing impacts memory. Additionally, the brain works harder to process surrounding sounds and signals to compensate for hearing loss. This increased exertion and mental multitasking may interfere with the neural connections needed to walk and move around. Reducing risk factors Hearing aids help individuals process sound and follow conversations. Data shows that even though millions of Americans have hearing loss, only

The good news is that there are products out there that don’t have to look like a hospital, look good and you won’t even think of them as safety bars every time you use them. And remember if you have those suction cup bars, please throw them away, they will fail, they are no substitute for something anchored securely. Look around your home start thinking now and if you need assistance call a professional for an evaluation, which should be at no cost. ~

If I asked would you like to live in your home for the rest of your days, the answer would be an overwhelming yes. If I asked have you thought or done anything to make your home safer, it is typically a no. I meet a lot of clients every week, the majority of which are returning from rehab and it is the first time they have thought about home safety, particularly in the bathroom. Whether we like it or not we are aging (see my gray hair as a prime example) and that comes with a whole set of challenges. You cannot prevent every eventuality, but a simple grab bar in the shower now, safety strips on the floor could be the difference to a great spring and summer enjoying the grandkids, or a trip to the ER and weeks of rehab. The biggest comment I get is ‘oh I don’t need any of that stuff yet’,

Paying for Long Term Care In Idaho, the monthly cost of nursing Without Going home care averages $7,290 and the monthly cost of assisted living averBroke ages between $3,000 and $4,000.

Many families find it difficult or impossible to pay these monthly fees. It can be especially daunting when one spouse needs long term care but the couple is hesitant to spend all the life savings on that spouse’s care when the healthier spouse may have many years of life left. It is extremely important that families understand how to get help paying for care without becoming impoverished; and it is crucial to know that there may be help available. First, for veterans and their spouses there is a program (often referred to as Aid and Attendance) that helps veterans and their spouses pay for long term care. Currently, a married veteran needing nursing home care may qualify for up to $2,169.66 per month from the VA to help pay for long term care. There are rules about assets and income when qualifying for a VA Aid and Attendance pension. Often, veterans and their families are told

they don’t qualify for this help when they make an initial inquiry to the VA. However, before giving up, it is important that a family consult a VA certified elder law attorney to evaluate whether there is anything the veteran can do to change their situation and become eligible for the pension. A good advisor may be able to make suggestions of how a family can make changes to become eligible for help. The other help that families can get in paying for care is Medicaid. Medicaid has a program to help seniors pay for long term care. Like the VA pension described above, Medicaid has strict rules about assets and income for eligibility. However, Medicaid also has rules that can be used to protect assets and income under certain circumstances. Even if you have been told that your loved one does not qualify for any help, you must consult with an elder law attorney to see if anything can be done to help your loved one qualify for help

Idaho Medicaid received the Money Follows the Person grant in 2011 to help Idaho rebalance long-term care spending from institutions to home and communitybased services (HCBS). What Does IHC (The Idaho Home Choice Program) Mean to Me? Some people living in facilities may think that they do not have the ability to move back into the community. IHC gives individuals living in nursing facilities, Intermediate Care Facilities for people with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/ID), acute care hospitals and Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD) more informed choices and options about where they live and receive services. What Can IHC Do for Me? Should you choose to move to the community, you will enjoy all the privileges of living independently: Choosing your service providers, expressing your satisfaction or dissatisfaction with services and supports, visiting with family and friends, and being a part of your community! In addition, IHC participants can receive:

I D A H O

Transition Management – If you choose, you will be eligible to have someone help you navigate your transition back into the community. Assistance with up-front household expenses at transition including: – Household Furnishings – Household Goods and Supplies – Moving Expenses – Utility Deposits – Security Rent Deposits

Eligible persons must: n Be a resident of Idaho n Currently live in a nursing facility, ICF/ID, or an IMD n Have lived in the above setting for at least 90 consecutive days n Have been eligible for Medicaid for at least one day n Qualify for one of the HCBS waivers (Aged and Disabled Waiver or Developmental Disability waiver), or Medicaid State Plan Services n Move to a “qualified residence” in the community For more information: n Call: (208) 364-1889 n Email: IHCMFP@dhw.idaho.gov n Visit: www.IdahoHomeChoice. dhw.idaho.gov ~

Wish Granters Inc. provides an opportunity for a wish to adults 18 years and older who have nonage related, terminal illnesses. Our organization was founded by Doug Raper in 2010 because there was a need within our community. We come into their lives and give them something to look forward to, something to hold on to, at a time when it is needed the most. There are lots of organizations that grant amazing wishes for children with life threatening illnesses, but very little was being done for adults and their families. Our first wish was granted to a man named Brent with ALS who wanted to take a ride in a helicopter with his wife and two sons. Since then we have granted wishes from adults who wanted to take their children to Disney, to see a friend or family member one last time, to see the Northern Lights in Alaska, or just to go out to dinner and a movie. Those are just a few examples of wishes that have been completed.

The wish does not just impact the individual, it has an impact on their loved ones as well. We help build lasting memories, we help smiles happen, and we bring people together to help dreams come true. To qualify a person must be at least 18 years or older, live in Ada or Canyon counties, and their doctor or hospice must confirm that they have a non-age related terminal illness.

Recognizing Fall Risks A variety of factors, some of which are listed below, make older adults more susceptible to injury. C ognitive or physical impairment often due to a chronic illness, such as arthritis, dementia, diabetes, heart disease and/or stroke. n D iminished bone density, hearing, vision or sense of touch. n F ear of falling and/or a lack of confidence that often occurs after a person’s first fall. n H ealth issues affecting balance and equilibrium. n I ncorrect use of walking aids and other assistive devices. n L ack of sufficient hydration and nutrition. n L imited endurance and physical strength. n P oorly fitting or worn shoes. n P otential hazards due to environmental issues, such as n

poor lighting, clutter, spills and unsteady furniture. Side effects of medications or taking four or more medications.

If you feel you meet any of the criteria above, take the time to discuss specific risk factors with your health care professional. As the saying goes, “Better safe than sorry.” While certain factors, such as age, are out of your control, others are modifiable, including physical strength and environmental hazards. While home safety is important, research has shown that people who pursue multiple safe aging measures, including use of a personal emergency response system (PERS), a much lower risk of injury. ~ Editor’s Note: This information is present by Direct Link / Home Helpers Boise, 208-322-2668, BoiseOffice@homehelpershomecare. com,5537 North Glenwood St., Suite B, Garden City, ID 83714.

Whether you reside in your own home, senior community or in an assisted living facility, relocating because you need greater support is an event most seniors and baby boomers want to avoid. This not only creates challenges at a time in life when simplicity and familiarity are relished, but a change of residence can also significantly draw down on one’s finances. So, prevention now becomes priceless! At Cypress, our team of therapists provide physical therapy fitness and wellness visits to help with PREVENTION of falls, slowing the normal decline with aging and avoiding possible hospitalizations. Our fitness and wellness programs focus on: n

Improved BALANCE for fall prevention. Building STRENGTH to make it easier to get up and down from a chair or tend your garden. Enhanced RANGE OF MOTION to be able to dress, wash and comb your hair.

Boosting your WALKING distance to reduce joint pain and enjoy family events.

For some, a few visits are all that’s needed to give you the tools to begin your own fitness program. For others, we are available as your needs demand—we are under no visit restrictions. Medicare does not participate with prevention, fitness or wellness to help you age in place, yet we can work with you on a private pay basis. These visits are designed to be convenient for you in the comfort of your own home. Cypress Physical Therapy is an age-in-place resource, aiming to support individuals and their families within the Boise community. We are passionate about empowering your confidence to stay independent and continue doing the things you love. ~

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com R•R

Selling a seniors most valued and valuable asset, their home, and the subsequent move, often requires unique expertise on a number of different fronts. The first step is to ask the question, is moving the best alternative? If so, where? Have other options been explored? Most seniors would prefer to continue living in their own home, or aging in place but sometimes circumstances are such that other options much be considered. n

ome maintenance becomes a h burden a major life event forces considering a move a n aging parent wants to live closer to adult children or other caretakers nancial concerns make it difficult fi to keep the home s upport services are needed that are not available at home

Selling a senior’s home can be much more complicated due to these issues and sometimes the number of people involved. Whatever the reason, there may come a

time when parents, along with their adult children make the decision that selling is the right thing to do for their loved one. The financial, logistical and emotional issues involved in a move can be stressful for a family to navigate. Senior parents and their adult children may feel they are in unfamiliar territory as they deal with these questions. A Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) can help guide your family through the complex issues and unique situations you may encounter. This designation is only given to those Realtors who have been trained on how to help seniors. A real estate professional who has experience in senior’s issues, and who can put you in contact with other similar trained professional advisors, can be an invaluable resource at this time. You can count on a SRES to help guide you through the process and the special considerations, making the transaction less stressful and more successful. ~

Osteoporosis Can Be Prevented, Treated Osteoporosis is a systemic disease that weakens bones, resulting in increased risk of painful fractures that And Managed may require surgery.

But recent advances mean osteoporosis is no longer seen as an inevitable consequence of aging, but rather a manageable condition in which fractures can be prevented and quality of life maintained. Osteoporosis is referred to as the “silent thief” because there are no symptoms until a bone breaks, although you may notice a loss of height or that your posture is becoming stooped. Many factors lead to osteoporosis, but in general it’s caused by loss of calcium from the bone. Fortunately, osteoporosis is both preventable and treatable. Calcium and vitamin D are essential nutrients for normal bone formation. Bone mass accumulates throughout youth and begins to wane significantly around the age of menopause. If you did not get enough calcium throughout your life, your bones may weaken. Taking a calcium supplement and vitamin D can ensure you’re getting adequate absorption and help prevent osteoporosis. The risk factors for developing osteoporosis include being older, female, Caucasian and postmenopausal, and having a family history of osteoporosis. They also include tobacco use, low body weight, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications such as corticosteroids, and a seden-

tary lifestyle. It’s important to modify these risk factors as much as possible to reduce your risk of developing this condition. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed on the basis of X-ray, but the gold standard test is a DXA (or DEXA) scan. This scan shows the degree of bone calcium loss and corresponding risk for a fracture. The scan can be repeated over time to monitor the effects of treatment. Your doctor may also request blood and urine tests to verify there are no other underlying causes of bone calcium loss. Osteoporosis is treated with a multifaceted approach that starts with exercise, a good diet, and adequate calcium and vitamin D supplements. Your doctor may also recommend medication to reduce your risk of future fractures. You will also learn how to reduce your fall risk, increase strength and improve posture, often with the aid of physical therapy. By working with your health care team, you can reduce your risk of fractures through a long-term, comprehensive approach. ~ Editor’s Note: : This article was written by James E. Loveless, MD, a St. Luke’s physician and board certified rheumatologist. He has extensive experience in osteoporosis treatment and research. See their ad on page 77.

Technology Expands Opportunities for Since 1979, the Dick Eardley Boise Seniors Senior Center has been serving Boise seniors by providing activities and educational programs to enhance the physical, educational and social wellbeing of its users.

A recent facelift of the facility, including a major technological expansion, has furthered those efforts by enabling broader connectivity. Adults who visit the center can now access the City of Boise’s online recreation registration system to sign up for classes and travel opportunities, use a credit card by phone to take advantage of a half-price taxi program, and even explore national parks and museums in real time from the comfort of one of the senior center’s connected classrooms. “We have the ability to bring local, regional and even national services to seniors through the use of technological resources available to us,” Denise Peterson, the center’s program coordinator said. “We are developing a richer, more inclusive experience for seniors while improving the efficiency of our services. Our goal is to reach motivated adults of all ages and engage them in a wide variety of activities and programs. We realize that with the expanding population of seniors in Idaho, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to senior services. The broader our

offerings, the greater our reach.” In December 2016, the center was brought under the management of Boise Parks and Recreation and onto the citywide recreation registration system. This gives seniors access to dozens of programs developed specifically for them, not just at the Dick Eardley Senior Center, but throughout the Parks and Recreation Department as well. Those who are comfortable using the system from home can browse an expansive listing of offerings – fitness classes, art classes, sight-seeing trips, wine tours, lunch dates and more – make their selections and pay using the online system. Those who prefer to register in person or by phone may do so at any of the Parks and Recreation Department’s offices. The city’s online registration system has also expanded the availability of the Scrip Taxi Program, a city-subsidized service that allows seniors and disabled residents to purchase half-priced taxi vouchers. Prior to the computerization of Scrip, all transactions were conducted and documented in person and on paper in a labor-intensive process that limited availability to the first business day of each month. Merging Scrip with the city’s registration system has allowed recipients to purchase

Boise and offer people an opportunity to explore the world from the safety and comfort of our classrooms,” Peterson said. “We can travel to Badlands National Park in South Dakota on Monday and visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in New York on Tuesday.” Programming for 2018 includes a visit to Hearst Castle, a trip through time to explore the geologic history of the Grand Canyon, and a trek through the Library of Congress. Senior Center staff plan to continue to broaden technology and web-based learning opportunities in the years to come. The Dick Eardley Senior Center is a drop-in facility and is open to the public, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 208-608-7580. ~

Additional building upgrades over the past year have included the installation of computers, webcams, speakers and microphones in the facility’s three meeting rooms for interactive presentations or videoconferencing. In December, the center debuted its live interactive presentation programming through the Senior Learning Network with “Christmas with FDR.” A crowd attended to watch and interact with a live broadcast from the Franklin D.

What Is a Hospice Volunteer? Did you know there are approximately 96,000 hospice volunteers at work in hospices throughout the United States? These volunteers are an essential part of the hospice philosophy of care, which recognizes that dying is not just a medical event, but a personal one as well. In fact, when hospice care became a Medicare benefit in 1982, written into the law signed by President Ronald Reagan was the requirement that community volunteers had to provide a minimum of 5 percent of total patient care hours. It is one of the things that makes hospice care unique in healthcare. Support For Patients This can include visiting, reading, taking walks, writing letters, bringing in music, supervising visits with pets, or even massage therapy for volunteers with the necessary skills. Respite And Support For Family Members Volunteers can assist with shopping or household maintenance, or allow family caregivers the opportunity to take care of necessary

errands and get some time away from the house. Specialized Services Performed By Professionals Massage in the home, nail care, or hair care are examples Handyman skills Installing ramps, grab bars, assisting with light home repairs, or yard work Bereavement Support Programs Hospice volunteers can work closely with the hospice’s professional bereavement staff in duties that range from assisting as a support group facilitator to serving refreshments and helping with mailings to clients and families. Fundraising And Administrative Work Installing ramps, grab bars, assisting with light home repairs, or yard work Bereavement Support Programs Hospice volunteers can work closely with the hospice’s professional bereavement staff in duties that range from assisting as a support group facilitator to serving refreshments and helping with mailings to clients and families.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Private Duty Home Care HOME CARE – We understand that budget is a primary consideration when you are making arrangements for home care, and it is our expectation that you will “shop around” to find the best provider at a manageable cost. As you do, please consider the following point in orders to ensure that you and your loved ones are protected and receive the best care possible.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK Before you make your first phone call, thoroughly consider what your care needs are. Make sure to paint a realistic picture of the patient’s needs so that the right caregiver match can be made: Do you need a companion, or someone who can provide handson care (i.e. assisting getting in/ out of bath, etc.)

Do you need assistance with cooking and light housework?

Do you need skilled medical assistance for things like blood pressure & blood sugar testing, medication administration, wound care or tube/drain/bag maintenance?

Do you need a caregiver who can drive you to social events appointments or?

Is a memory loss diagnosis (i.e. Alzheimer’s, dementia) a factor or is the patient becoming confused?

98 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2018

Do you need a caregiver trained in a specialization such as hospice care or mobility needs?

Do you need a caregiver that speaks a particular language or is versed in sign language?

INTERVIEW THE AGENCY In order to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential liability, be sure to ask about and consider the following when selecting a home care agency: What levels of care are available? Are you licensed for medical care or only companion care services?

Are your caregivers supervised by an RN? Who conducts the initial assessment before starting each case?

Are all caregivers employees that are licensed, bonded, and insured? What happens if a worker is injured in my home?

Do you take care of paying the taxes and withholdings for the caregiver?

If there is a personality conflict or other problem with a worker, can a change be made? How is this handled?

How much notice will you give me if a caregiver is leaving or will be unavailable for an extended period of time?

SeniorsBlueBook.com

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

What are your rates? Is there a minimum # of hours that I have to commit to each day/week/month?

Remember that you are the customer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do not hesitate to express your needs and give feedback, especially if you are dissatisfied or worried. The matching of a caregiver to a patient is as much and art as a science, and clear, constructive feedback will help everyone settle in quickly.

What happens if a caregiver calls out sick or has an emergency? Will you send another caregiver of equal skill and experience?

Can I interview the caregiver(s) before I commit to using your agency? Do you check references, and can I get details of the caregivers experience and background? Can I get someone that has worked on similar cases / patients?

What happens in case of an emergency? Can your caregiver provide hands-on help (i.e. lifting, CPR, etc.) or do they need to wait for emergency services?

HELPFUL HINTS The following are a few suggestions on ways to make the process of obtaining quality home healthcare a little easier and eliminate the unwanted surprises: Before a new caregiver starts, write out a basic daily and weekly schedule for the patient. Be

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

sure to include a list of likes and dislikes with respect to both foods and activities. This will make the transition much easier and less stressful for the patient, and will allow the caregiver to get up to speed quickly.

A note on 24-hour care; Live-in caregivers are often more convenient and cost-effective than utilizing multiple workers in 12hour shifts. However, live-ins do require some time off and private space for meals, sleeping, and grooming, while 12-hour workers generally do not sleep while on duty. Therefore, if the patient requires lots of attention during the night, 12-hour shifts or an additional overnight caregiver may be the right solution. Live-in caregivers do need to sleep sometime in order to provide quality care!

Why Everyone Needs An Annual Physical As we age, most of us hope to expeTherapy (PT) rience a lifestyle that is fun, rewardEvaluation ing, and meaningful. Maintaining mobility and independence are fundamental components to aging well.

Unfortunately, too many older adults in the United States experience chronic disease, illness, and debility. Some of the most common chronic illnesses facing older adults (such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, pulmonary diseases, and neurological disorders) are sadly considered a normal part of the aging process, when in fact they are not. Although chronic disease, illness, and debility are common in today’s society, it’s not part of a normal aging process. The normal aging process should allow a person to

112 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2018

maintain his/her most basic mobility and independence until the end of life. To insure this happens, it’s critical to be proactive about the aging process. Most of us are familiar with the term life span, which is a reference to how long a person will actually live. A newer and even more important term is health span, which means the length of time that a person is healthy and not just alive. Physical therapy can help a person age well by improving health span and by helping a person maintain his or her independent mobility

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Physical therapy can be an important and integral component to aging well. As a physical therapist (PT), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a strong advocate for all older adults to see a physical therapist at least one time per year for a screening and when appropriate a full evaluation. This is an opportunity to develop an exercise and training prescription to address any new physical issues or impairments that are starting to occur. A PT can help to establish a preventative training program that allows a person to identify any areas of concern (such as decreasing balance or

muscle mass). A training program can be developed to address his/her physical impairments early in the process to allow for a healthy and normal aging process to occur. A proactive stance and plan to address noted physical impairments is a critical step in insuring a health aging process and maintaining mobility and independence which is vital for any adult to age well. ~ Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This article was written by Ben Shatto, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS Director of Therapy Services at MultiCare Home Health, Owner of The Medical Fitness Center in Eagle, ID, and author of the website www.thePhysicalTherapyAdvisor.com)

HOSPICE CARE

A Hospice Social Worker Can Help Your A Social Worker is an integral part of the hospice interdisciplinary Family! team. A hospice social worker is involved in the full range of hospice care, from assessment, through the bereavement process. Their experience allows them to cultivate advanced social work skills and utilize community resources to best meet the needs of their patients and the families they serve. They work hard to provide practical and emotional support to the patient, the caregiver, and the family members. Your hospice social worker wears multiple hats. For families who may not have had significant conversations about end-oflife wishes, the social worker can walk you through an advance directive document. They can provide you with information about filling out your advance directives, and declaring a healthcare power of attorney, and a POST form. Hospice Social workers can connect your family to community resources. They suggest organizations that can help you fill caregiving needs, offer insight into the process of applying for veterans benefits or long-term care assistance, or give recommendations for a care home, assisted living facility, or skilled nursing facilities, if that need arises. They facilitate support groups and assist with bereavement programs,

122 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2018

which are available to families for 13 months after their loved one passes away. Most importantly, the social worker listens. They create a safe space and offer a comforting presence, things all families need at end of life. Hospice Social Workers listen to the patient’s fears and the family caregiver’s struggles. Sometimes it’s just listening, but many times they offer solutions, and point our families in the right direction. The social worker will meet you where you are and give you the caring support you need. It is difficult to watch life come to an end, but when you have been part of an experience where that life has been well lived, cherished, and shared with family and friends until the very end, that is a gift that adds spirituality and meaning to your life. “It is an honor and a privilege working with hospice families, each day I have the opportunity to meet wonderful patients and families and I am able to support them on this journey, with the goal of finding peace and acceptance.” ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Shannon Adamcik, MSW Hospice Social Worker, Doctors Hospice of Idaho

Hospice Care Definitions continued 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. 24/7 Admissions – Can a patient be admitted to the particular hospice agency 24/7? If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice, 24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays. 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. Each Hospice Agency will have a grief and bereavement support program. 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. Many Hospice agencies utilize Social Workers to help find resources for indigent families.

Licensed Massage Therapy – Massage has become one of the fastest growing trends in therapy for hospice patients. 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; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients. 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 is not just a music performer, but actually trained in counseling and music. 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; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide this to their patients. Pain Pumps Available – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through

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. For some patients, contact with these gentle animals evokes memories of pets in their lives, past or present. 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, it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients.

HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM – (Sec 8) - find your own place and use the voucher to pay for all or part of the rent. Participating households are required to pay the greater of 10% of their gross annual income or 30% of their adjusted income towards rent. To qualify, a household’s annual income must not exceed the applicable income limit for the area as adjusted by family size. (Sec 236) Property owners in this program make mortgage payments that are based on a 1% mortgage interest rate. HUD then provides a subsidy to their lender to cover the difference between 1% and the market interest rate on the property’s loan. Participating households are required to pay rent equal to the greater of 30% of their adjusted income (not to exceed the market rent) or the basic rent amount set by HUD for that particular property. Any amount paid by the household that is more than basic rent is considered excess rent, which the owner pays back to HUD in repayment of the subsidy.

SENIOR HOUSING

Plans for our “Golden Years?” Throughout our working years all of us had made plans for retirement and retirement was described in glowing terms as “the Golden Years”. We looked forward to the day of ending the daily grind of a job or responsibilities and spend the rest of our days doing whatever we wanted in the blissfulness of our home. It was a nice thought back in the day when gold was worth its weight. Unfortunately, the reality now for seniors as they age in retirement is they need to plan even more thoughtfully and carefully. As some seniors are living another 10 years or so past the age they thought and now are struggling with their finances and chronic health problems they didn’t anticipate. That is the question we need to ask ourselves, how do we really want to live in our “Golden Years?” Because reality has changed the “Golden Years” idea we grew up believing. Fortunately, here in the Treasure Valley we have quality services for seniors to help in the “Golden Years”. As the numbers of baby boomers head into retirement, services to help seniors in the transition have grown. This can be confusing to know where to start in the planning process for seniors but publications like the Seniors Bluebook and agencies like

142 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2018

the Idaho Commission on Aging can provide local trusted resources. Recent studies have shown that 85% of seniors plan to live out the rest of their lives at home but this is not always possible due to declining health or sudden health events that require alternate living arrangements either temporary or permanent. This leaves seniors and families in a difficult situation, without knowing where to go for direction on the senior living options in the Treasure Valley. A local senior advisor can help to explain the choices and what housing options are available to guide you through the process. The idea of what retirement looks like is changing dramatically and will continue to do so as the baby boomer generation has changed the landscape with any direction they went like a heard of elephants just because of the overwhelming numbers that will strain resources. I encourage seniors to seek out help early in their retirement to understand what resources are available to them, establish trust and have the courage to ask themselves “Do I really have a good plan for my Golden Years?” ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Lloyd Husar, Oasis Senior Advisors.

Smart Strategies – Your Best Life: As we age, it is important to balance Mind, Body, our mind, body, and spirit in a way that will support good health and and Spirit well-being. Sounds good? Of course, but, as usual, with most good things, this can be easier said than done. To live well with age, focus on these essential strategies. Take Time for You There is only one person who is consistently with you on a daily basis and that person is YOU. While it may sound selfish, it is critical that you make yourself a priority. This doesn’t mean that you focus exclusively on your own needs and wants and forget about the people around you. It simply means that you carve out quality time every day for your own personal growth and development. Be Responsive to Change Life is consistently changing, and so are you. With aging, your body and mind will experience inevitable changes – good or bad. If your habits and routines from the past no longer work for you now, be willing to let go. Make the appropriate adjustments to thrive with each passing day. Take Control of your Health Care You are your greatest advocate for

144 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2018

your health and well-being. Keep informed on the latest trends and scientific research on aging. Maintain scheduled health visits for dental, hearing, skin, eye care, and general physical exams. If you feel uncomfortable with the outcome of any diagnosis or prescribed treatment, be willing to get a second or third opinion. In all, prevention is your best approach to healthy living. Find the Joy in Living Your attitude on the topic of aging will drive your priorities, actions, values, and outlook on life. Keep a positive attitude toward “getting older” and treat it as a blessing. Learn to treasure every moment you have on earth. Take time to distract yourself from your concerns and to focus on the positive - those things that bring a smile to your face or make you laugh. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Patricia K.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

While it’s important for everyone to plan for the future, legal plans are especially vital for a person diagnosed with dementia. The sooner planning begins, the more likely it is that the person with dementia will be able to participate. Legal planning includes: lanning for long-term care •P and health care. aking arrangements for •M finances and property. aming another person to •N make decisions on behalf of the person with dementia. QUICK TIPS FOR LEGAL PLANNING

1. Those named in the power of attorney document should have a copy of and access to the original. 2. The person with dementia should name a successor (back-up) agent for power of attorney in the event that the agent may one day be unable to act. 3. Once a power of attorney for health care documents and/or a signed living will is in place, give copies to the person’s health care providers. 4. Consider choosing an attorney or a bank to manage the individual’s estate if the person lacks a trusted individual with time or expertise. 5. The person with dementia should discuss his or her wishes with the chosen power of attorney to make sure the agent is comfortable carrying them out.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL PLANNING

After receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, the need for and cost of future care may not be immediately considered. Financial planning often gets pushed aside because of stress and fear. The sooner planning begins, the more the person with dementia may be able to participate in making decisions. KEY TIPS

1. Discuss finances and future care wishes soon after a diagnosis. 2. Organize and review important documents. 3. Seek help from well-qualified financial and legal advisers. 4. Estimate possible costs for the entire disease process. 5. Look at insurance options. 6. Find out for which government programs you are eligible. 7. Learn about income tax breaks you may qualify for. 8. Take advantage of low-cost and free community services. 9. Consider how personal property and work-related benefits can become a source of income. ~

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

Skilled Nursing – Not Yesterday’s Nursing Homes Senior care has come a long way in the last 50 years!

What used to be called nursing homes are now skilled nursing facilities. The industry has grown – and adapted to the needs and expectations of today’s seniors. Skilled nursing facilities today continue to provide housing and 24-hour skilled nursing services to seniors, but the population has in many respects changed, and so have the services and amenities. Most skilled nursing facilities now offer rehabilitation services (physical, occupational and speech therapies) in addition to nursing care. Many are professionally decorated and offer amenities for their residents such as private dining rooms for meals with family and friends, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, private rooms, ice cream parlors, fine dining and hair salons that provide services several times a week. These days, skilled nursing facilities serve two basic populations – long-term residents and short-term patients. Most people are familiar with the

long-term resident population. These are the traditional nursing home residents who are not able to take care of themselves. Long-term residents’ health problems may be physical, such as advanced age or an advanced stage of a disease, or mental, such as Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Long-term residents benefit especially from the compassionate care that the nursing teams provide, from the hands-on care of the certified nursing assistants to the clinical skills of the licensed practical nurses and registered nurses. Short-term patients are very different from long-term residents. They come to skilled nursing facilities for rehabilitation after an illness or surgery, and from the day they arrive, they set a plan of care with the professional care team. They begin to work toward their goals so they

Skilled nursing facilities address the needs of both types of customers, from nursing care and rehabilita-

tion to dietary needs, on-site laundry to activities that engage residents and patients with various interests and talents. These are just some of the core services that skilled nursing facilities offer these days. Of course, each center is unique, and some centers offer specialty services and programs, like dementia care units, Parkinson’s exercise programs or outpatient therapy. With such a diverse variety of programs and residents, today’s skilled nursing facilities are a far cry from the nursing homes of yesteryear. ~
