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+.

All About Better Living

SAINT ALPHONSUS

Three new clinics provide solutions for individuals living with complex care needs. In 2016, the Saint Alphonsus Health System greatly expanded its capacity to provide high-quality health care for people who have chronic illnesses. After hiring ten new providers - including 6 physicians, 2 nurse practitioners, a pharmacist and a social worker – Saint Alphonsus opened 3 new consultative outpatient services including a: n

Geriatrics Clinic – for older people who have several chronic conditions Palliative Care Clinic – for adults of any age who have serious chronic illnesses and who need additional help for their symptoms, emotional distress, family support, advance care planning and spiritual comfort House Calls Program – for people who have chronic illnesses and insufficient care because they have great difficulty traveling to health care facilities

These new specialized services all focus on providing patient-centered, team-based, comprehensive care for patients and their families who are dealing with chronic illnesses and receiving complex care. For each new patient who comes to one of these services, the team begins with a comprehensive assessment of all of their health-related needs, including medical, pharmaceutical, emotional, social and spiritual. The team then meets with the patient and family to inquire about the patient’s healthrelated goals, i.e. what’s most important to the patient. Members of the care team then develop a comprehensive plan of care and recommend specific steps for attaining the patient’s goals. With this plan, tests are performed, prescriptions are modified, new treatments are begun, needed equipment and supportive services are obtained, healthy patient behaviors are encouraged, and help with emotional distress, spiritual needs and advance care planning is offered. Because of this coordinated, focused care plan, most patients’ health begins to improve after a few visits. During this process the team continues to communicate with the patient’s referring provider and to establish a plan for continued improvement going forward, under that provider’s care. In some cases, if the patient and the referring provider request, the team also arranges or provides further care for the patient and family. 10 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2017

SAINT ALPHONSUS

Additional available services To further enhance the care of people with chronic conditions, Saint Alphonsus has also developed five additional programs which include: n n n n n

an inpatient palliative care service an advance care planning program a free, community-based, patient self-management series a professional education series a system for bringing needed healthcare services to patients who are at high risk for serious health-related problems in the near future.

Where to find us The Geriatrics and Palliative Care Clinics are located at 5966 West Curtisian Avenue. Providers can make referrals to these clinics or to our House Calls Program through their electronic medical records or by calling the Saint Alphonsus Resources Center at 208-367-DOCS (3627).

Few people understand Care Management. This article explains what it is and who can benefit. Care Management focuses on managing a person’s healthcare and best interests. When someone hires a Care Management company, an Assessment is conducted to gather psychosocial, medical, and personal information to determine the appropriate care and services. Based on this information, a personalized Care Plan is created. A Care Manager works with clients, 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 outcome during medical appointments, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. He or she works with discharge planners to assure a smooth transition home with the appropriate support services in place. Care Managers can also provide a cost effective way to plan for your health care needs

with a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care so you know someone will be 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 nursing homes. 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.

Good Planning Is Having LIFE…It’s full of PLANNING, An Estate Plan making informed DECISIONS and keeping up with CHANGIn Place ES. Good planning is having an ESTATE PLAN in place. If you have a current estate plan in place-Great job! Now ask yourself, “When was the last time you reviewed your estate plan?” The probability is high that your life has encountered some changes from when you first executed your estate planning documents. Your estate plan should be reviewed every 5 years. Is it TIME to review your estate plan and update your wishes to REFLECT the changes in your life; or better yet, to make an appointment with your attorney to complete a more comprehensive REVIEW. Whether you are drawing up a Will for the first time or completing a review, INFORMED planning will be crucial. One question you must tackle: Who will you name as your Executor or Personal Representative? In the state of Idaho the individual handling a person’s estate holds the title of Personal Representative. The individual you choose to be your PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE is significant because you are depending on them to carry out the terms of your WILL. In addition to administering your estate according to your wishes, the personal rep-

resentative has many STATUTORY DUTIES, which must be carried out with the same FIDUCIARY DUTY of care as that of a trustee. Their duties include filing required court documents, posting bond, if required, inventorying and valuing all the assets of the estate, keeping the beneficiaries informed, determining the debts and liabilities of the estate, and paying the creditors, as required, choosing professionals such as an attorney, bank, financial advisor, appraiser, CPA, etc, filing taxes and, finally, making distribution to the beneficiaries. WHO can carry out all these responsibilities? Many couples name one another to be their personal representative. As long as the SPOUSE will be able to manage administering the estate in the wake of losing their spouse, this is often the BEST CHOICE due to the fact that they owned their assets as community property. Many people choose their OLDEST ADULT CHILD to be their Personal Representative. A TRUSTED FRIEND or third party such as a BANK or a TRUST COMPANY may prove to be a better choice.

gives legal authority to another (the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) to act on behalf of the principal. “Durable” means the agent can act when the

principal loses capacity. A General Durable Power of Attorney permits your agent to manage any part or all of your financial affairs and property. A Health Care Durable Power of Attorney enables your agent to make any or all health care decisions if you become incapacitated. A Living Will allows you to spell out your desired medical treatment regarding life-saving procedures, artificial nutrition and artificial hydration if

Choosing the right person as an agent is a very important decision and should be given careful consideration.

Choosing the right person as an agent is a very important decision and should be given careful consideration. It should be someone who is trustworthy, honest, knows how to handle money and accepts the responsibility as an agent. This agent owes a duty to the principal called a “fiduciary” duty, which means the agent has to act in the principal’s best interest, in good faith and with care, and keep good records. Abuse by an agent or a breach of fiduciary duty can be punishable civilly and criminally. A principal has the control to revoke a Power of Attorney at any time.

If you become incapacitated and have not executed Power of Attorney documents, court proceedings called Guardianship and Conservatorship may be needed for someone to obtain decision making authority, which is both time consuming and costly. However, this may be avoided by planning in advance the execution of Durable Power of Attorney documents, which give you greater control and freedom of choice in an affordable manner.

Who You Gonna Call? In the movie Ghostbusters, the battle cry in the fight against the weird, the macabre, the undead, the ghosts was “Who You Gonna Call?” Of course, the answer was “the Ghostbusters” and for a fee they fought off your unwanted non-living guests. When it comes to planning on how to pay for your long term care or catastrophic health issues, maybe you should ask, “Who you gonna call?”. Many people rely on information they get from friends, neighbors, family members or the internet. I have no doubt that many, if not most of these people, are well intentioned and mean to help. However, if they don’t have years of training and experience, in providing families the latest information on Medicaid, estate planning, or Veterans Benefits, (if, in fact, they have never applied for a Medicaid or VA benefit) I strongly suggest great care in taking their advice. An Elder Law attorney must be educated in areas of Estate Planning, Income Tax issues, Gift and Estate Tax Planning, Real and Personal Property Law (including community and separate property issues) Probate, Guardianship and Conservatorship, Revocable and Irrevocable Trust Planning, Incapacity Planning, Asset Protection Planning, Elder Abuse and Fraud, Housing, Social Security and Retirement Planning.

While usually not an expert in each field, addressing issues for retired and senior adults requires understanding of how these areas of law interact with each other and how planning in one area affects the rights of a client in another area. It’s rarely as simple as it seems. The team at Idaho Estate Planning has decades of experience in the areas making up Elder Law. We have help over 3000 families plan and/ or administer their estates. We have helped war-time vets in the Treasure Valley receive over $3 million in VA benefits. We have spent countless hours in presentations educating financial, legal and insurance professionals as well people like you concerning Estate Planning and Elder Law. Mark Wight is also a published author and host of the Senior Matters Radio Show heard every Saturday at 12:30 pm on KBOI 670 AM. If you have questions concerning your estate, your independence, paying for long term care or protecting your loved ones after your passing, call us.

WISDOM LIVES HERE— AND A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE MorningStar team members are wise—wise through their character, wise by their deep respect for seniors, and wise in judging that MorningStar is a place where their character and their calling can entwine in service to others. But MorningStar residents are wiser still. From them, do we learn much every day. Here’s how some team members describe those lessons: “As a driver for MorningStar, I have the opportunity to visit with our residents and learn their histories. I love hearing stories of where they were raised, their careers, their travels, their families. They’ve led such interesting lives.” “Where else can you get hundreds of hugs? I’ve grown and learned so much about life and love from MorningStar residents.” “Residents become family! There is no greater joy than serving others, especially when you’re loved back.” “I love making residents smile, watching their faces light up whenever I do anything nice for them.” “It’s so natural for me to love and serve our residents, and to respond to what they want or need even before they ask.” In describing their love of MorningStar as company, our team members also wax poetic: “What’s not to love about working for here? MorningStar is family-oriented, understanding when life situations arise. We all take care of each other.” “You are not just an employee, but a member of the MorningStar family, recognized for your efforts, listened to and treated with respect.” And what does our team say about working in a culture of kindness, love and respect, an atmosphere we affectionately call Radiance?: “Radiance gives us the tools to create a nurturing home for both residents and team members.” “Radiance gives us the tools to create a nurturing home for both residents and team members.” “Radiance is who you become at MorningStar. It’s being ‘Way Over Wonderful’ (WOW) in other people’s lives.” “Radiance is a daily reminder of how we should carry ourselves. I not only try to live it out here at MorningStar, but everywhere in my life.” “Radiance means doing things for others out of the kindness of your heart.” One definition of Wisdom is the ability to discern between the trivial and truly important. We have that in plentiful measure at MorningStar. Come and see for yourself. 32 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2017

Even Mild Hearing Loss Mild hearing loss may be Can Change changing your brain. Your Brain New research from the University of Colorado shows that adults with hearing loss have decreased activation of the hearing portion of the brain compared with normal-hearing, age-matched adults. Adults with mild age-related hearing loss show brain changes in hearing portions of brain, which are being taken over by visual functions. This is not seen in age-matched adults with normal hearing.

This means that the auditory cortex (which is used for hearing and understanding sounds) is being hijacked by visual functions instead of hearing functions in people with hearing loss. In addition, changes to the frontal lobe (which is used for higher cognitive functions such as decision-making and thinking) are also being taken over by visual functions. This makes it harder to think and pay attention. It also may explain an increased risk of falling and higher incidence of cognitive decline, social withdrawal, and fa40 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2017

tigue among people with even mild hearing loss. The good news is that early research suggests that people who

are fit well with hearing aids show a reversal of these brain changes. According to the National Institutes on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, most people who have hearing loss don’t get the help they need. Early intervention matters, so ask your doctor to refer you to see an audiologist to have your hearing tested.

The Comforts of Home In the course of my work I visit several hundred homes every year, in the process of working to make the home safer, a few home comforts always come up for discussion. In this edition of the Senior Blue Book we will look at these items and see what the fuss is about. Pets (and other random items) Our furry companions are one of the most important members of the family, just ask my dog Maggie. However, they have this great habit of checking if you are still coming down the stairs or along the hallway by stopping. I have several clients that have landed in rehab after unexpectedly being helped by their furry friend. Grandkids and their toys are similar to pets; they are fun, but can get in the way. So no one is giving up their pet or the grandkids, I brought this up as something to keep in the back of your mind. If the dog is always excited around visitors, and can knock you over may be that’s a good time to have them in a carrier or kennel. If the Lego are taking over the entire living area, maybe it’s time to find a handy tote or basket. Rugs Rugs add character, warmth on wood floors, trap dirt at doorways, and keep your feet warm in front of the sink. They also have two great characteristics, they have edges and they like to move. Which are exactly why in a home safety assessment the occupational thera-

pist will hone in on your rugs. The most common fall I have seen is a walker catching the edge of the rug, also if you cannot make clean steps your feet might catch too. They are a major risk, so take them out. They can also slip from under your feet on wooden floors or bunch up, I see this a lot in halls and entry ways. One area where a mat or rug can work is in a bathroom, some will disagree on this but a slick wet vinyl or tile surface is dangerous and a mat with a good non slip backing or is stuck down can be safer. Remember it still has edges you can catch on and if not secured correctly can move. Shower Doors Of all of the items in the home removing shower doors is the longest discussion. Whether it is fear of water getting out, bad memories of dirty shower curtains years back, or a host of other reasons. If you are mobile, do not need to sit down in the shower, can easily step over the threshold, and the layout of the bathroom works, then shower doors are great. If have access issues they can be a hazard. Hinged shower doors are not a support because they move. The frame and any door type can restrict your ability to physically get in and out of the shower, particularly if you are trying to sit down, and if you fall you can find yourself trapped I have taken out many shower doors and the vast majority of clients are amazed how much easier the

Collectables, Furniture and Stuff. Lastly the topic of stuff. If you have lived in your home for many years, downsized, or just like collecting, you have likely gathered a lot of memories and things. It can be hard to part with these, but it doesn’t do any harm to look around for possible hazards. A couple of quick tips; Make sure surfaces are clear in areas you transit, so if you fall you have a chance of holding onto a counter edge and not those collectable figurines. Are there items that are unstable that if they fall could hurt you; For example, the antique umbrella stand or the bronze bust of Napoleon.

Are the walkways through your house clear of items that restrict access, stop a door from fully opening, present a trip hazard, or stop you getting to your car. If there are, maybe it’s time for the kids to stop by and do some rearranging. I hope this article gives you a few things to think about until the next edition. Have a great spring! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Bryan Connington is the owner of Safety for Seniors, a local home modification specialist, a National Association of Home Builders Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), and holds an Executive Certificate in Home Modification from the University of Southern California.

of a loved one who is seriously ill and is possibly near the end of life.

Each member of the family has a different idea of what their loved one would want. Heartbreaking scenarios such as this happen far too often. Usually after a loved one dies, family members often realize they should talk about what they each would want in the event of a medical crisis. But how do you do that? One way…crazy as it may sound – is over dinner. I have hosted several dinners over the past year. One of the things I have discovered is that most people think they have had meaningful conversations with their loved ones. Only to realize after the dinner previous conversations have been only surface level talks. One of the most powerful dinners I attended was with a group of mothers and daughters. Most of the mothers believed their daughters knew their desires. Only to find out during the dinner that the perspective of many of the daughters was that they “only kind-of” knew what their mothers

would want in a medical crisis. So, here are a couple of questions to get you started: If you ever lost someone close to you – what went well about their death or what would you have wanted to happen differently and why? you were informed that you If would die in 30 days, are there things you would want to say or do before you died? Discuss how you would want your own life to end and be specific. Would you be at home or in the hospital? Who would be with you? Music planning? Candles?

Medicare 2017 “In A Nutshell” (Parts A, B & Medigap Plans) Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional Medicare supplement also known as a “Medigap Plan.” Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance

Medicare Part B Medical Insurance

Supplemental Policy Plans A - N Medigap

Generally no cost (If you paid Medicare taxes while working)

Most people pay monthly $104.90 - $121.86 (Premium could be higher based on income) $166 annual deductible.

Premium varies by company, age, location & other factors.

$1,288 deductible (per hospital stay) It is possible to pay $1,260 several times a year. Plan covers: Inpatient hospital care, home health care services, hospice, inpatient skilled nursing & more. Providers are paid by Medicare assignment. No coverage outside USA. No out-of-pocket maximum. Many people add a Medigap plan, Part D or an Advantage Plan (Part C) to fill the “gaps” in the coverage.

80/20 after deductible. Plan covers: health care providers, ambulance, emergency care, outpatient surgical, preventive services and other Medicare approved benefits. Most doctors accept Medicare patients. No coverage outside the USA. No out-of-pocket maximum. Many people add a Medigap plan, Part D or an Advantage Plan (Part C) to fill the “gaps” in the coverage.

These plans generally pay the Part A & B deductibles, the 20% not covered by Part B & other Medicare eligible benefits. When this coordinates with Medicare, many benefits are 100% covered Plans coordinate with any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare Can provide benefits outside USA Plans are only available through insurance companies. Need to add a Part D plan to cover prescription drugs & avoid penalties. Must have Part A & B to enroll.

Basis Internal Medicine Aging can be an overwhelming process to all involved, it brings aches and pains that can be frustrating to deal with. One of the most frustrating parts of seeing a loved one age is declining health. As those we love get older, it becomes harder and harder to make it to regular doctor appointments. If our loved one becomes ill it’s often very hard to reach a provider which, can lead to a costly visit to the emergency room. Often these visits to the emergency room can be avoided all together with proper nurse and physician oversight. But the cost of having in-home nurses can reach well over $5,000 a month, not including medication expenses. Even if your loved one is in an independent living facility, having access to expert providers is extremely important to keep them healthy, happy and in an environment that they are comfortable with. Basis Internal Medicine is a mobile doctor’s office that brings internal medicine doctors to the comfort of your home. Dr. Lazarte (the founder of Basis Internal Medicine) believes

58 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2017

that bringing healthcare home is the key to preventing more serious illnesses down the road. Many people don’t realize that most insurances cover a doctor’s visit from Basis Internal Medicine in your home. Because preventative medicine is the core principle that Basis was built on, we have released a new telemedicine

program. Telemedicine allows your loved one even more oversight-care and freedom. For at least 90% less than you would spend on an in-home nurse per month we can provide a comprehensive electronic tablet that gives your loved one access to all the care they deserve. Some of the features of the telehealth program include: n n

24/7 clinical call center access R outine outbound health assessment calls from a nurse D isease specific education

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

F ollow up on symptoms, changes, issue and concerns R emote patient monitoring of wellness, vital signs and much more S chedule of all appointments, with reminder notifications. S ocial work assessment to determine any needs.

P rimary care provider home visits

R apid response visits as needed

T exting and video conferences with physicians and or nurse.

Being the first in the area to offer this state of the art technology we are looking forward to assisting you in giving your loved one the best care possible, visit us at basisim.com or call to learn more at 208-789-2131. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Andres Lazarte VP of Business Development for Basis Internal Medicine tel: 208-789-2131.

Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) 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. (From “Moving On” A Guide to Housing-Related Resources Tailored to Seniors and their Families).

Staying in our homes as we get older is the desire for most of us, but for many reasons circumstances change. Give me a call and I can help you navigate the maze of details and emotional issues involved in selling your home.

Understanding Rehabilitation in a After a brief stay in the hospital Transitional for illness, injury, or even surgery, people are often faced with Rehab Facility questions about what comes next. For example, if I can’t walk or dress myself, how am I supposed to go home? If I can’t go home, where should I go? Do I have to go to a nursing home? For those people who simply require a shortterm regimen of rehabilitation, a Transitional Rehab Facility may be the answer.

they’re not healthy enough to return home, but they’re not sick enough to remain in the hospital. They simply need a “tune-up” before they return to their lives. Under the supervision of a physician, Transitional Rehab Facilities provide not only skilled nursing care, but the necessary physical, occupational, speech, and in some cases, respiratory therapy that enable people to get stronger and

return to the lifestyle they enjoy. On average, people who require rehabilitation at a Transitional Rehab Facility stay there about three weeks. (Naturally, some people stay for a shorter period of time, and some people may need to stay longer.) The therapies are intense—six to seven days a week— but they are provided in a beautiful resort-like setting. Your exercise in physical and occupational therapy will be demanding, but you’ll feel like you’re at a luxurious getaway rather than in a hospital. Amenities like a private suite and 24-hour room service make the hard work in Transitional Rehab Facilities that much easier to tolerate. One thing is for sure: Transitional Rehab Facilities are NOT traditional nursing homes. They do NOT have

that kind of “institutional” environment, and nobody lives there as a long-term care resident. Instead, Transitional Rehab Facilities provide comprehensive therapies in beautiful surroundings, and they serve as a retreat for recovery until you’re strong enough to return home. Moreover, their services are covered by Medicare and some major insurance companies. If you find yourself in need of short-term rehabilitation services, ask your physician or healthcare provider if you qualify for a stay at a Transitional Rehab Facility.

The End of Alzheimer’s Starts with You! Alzheimer’s is an epidemic devastating our families, our finances and our future. The disease is all around us – but the power to stop it is within us. Join us for the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. This inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to join the fight against the disease! When you participate in Walk, your fundraising dollars fuel our mission – to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Your participation in the event helps to change the level of Alzheimer’s awareness in your community. The Alzheimer’s Association provides free, easy-to-use tools and staff support to help participants reach their fundraising goal. While there is no fee to register, we encourage participants to fundraise in order to contribute to the cause and raise awareness.

Take the first step by finding a Walk near you. Once you register, you will have access to a wide range of ideas and support through your customized Participant Center. Join us and lead the way to Alzheimer’s first survivor. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease! How to Participate in 3 Easy Steps:

What Is a Hospice Volunteer? A Hospice Volunteer is someone who is committed to making a difference in the life of an individual or family faced with a life limiting condition. Many people imagine themselves becoming a hospice volunteer, but are afraid to make the call that could change their life because they’re not sure what will be expected of them, or what they have to offer the special people they would serve. The Boise and Treasure Valley have several local hospices with opportunities for Volunteers. Volunteers typically range in age from young adulthood to senior citizens. Some volunteers may have professional skills or specialized expertise, but most are just people who want to help their friends and neighbors and serve the community. 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. Many of these volunteers were introduced to hospice through the death of a family member and understand firsthand the value of hospice care. Volunteers consistently report that helping the terminally ill through hospice is not about dying, but about living. About making every moment in life matter. There is a wide range of opportunities available for local hospice volunteers which include: 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.

Fundraising And Administrative Work

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. Family members also appreciate a visit from a compassionate friend who understands what they are going through.

A volunteer with clerical skills can serve a hospice by helping in the office with simple administrative duties. Fundraising responsibilities can range from preparing mailings or thank-you letters to organizing fundraising events and contacting possible donors.

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.

To ensure that all volunteers are equipped for the challenge of working with the dying, hospices require that volunteers complete extensive orientation and training sessions, as well as submit to a routine background check. It’s important that volunteers understand the history of hospice and are aware of the specific ways their local hospices work to serve the community. Depending on the area of service, additional training may be available or necessary. ~

Understanding Key Influencers Accepted Thought Process: I can’t make the decision for my parents. It has to be their decision.

COVER STORY – VERANDA SENIOR LIVING

Reality: Your decision-making role may adjust, depending on need. One of the main causes for delay in making a move to a senior living community is not understanding who the key influencers are and their role in the decisions at hand. Their involvement is dependent on many factors and may need to adjust as the needs and situations change. Many factors can determine who the key influencers are. n A parent or spouse may have Alzheimer’s or another dementia-related disease and is not capable of completely navigating or understanding all the details involved in this large of a decision. n A spouse or family member may feel that it’s his or her responsibility to care for the loved one and it may keep the loved one from getting necessary help. n A widower may not have been the key decision maker or is not used to making significant decisions without their spouse and is overwhelmed at facing it alone. n The thought of making a change is so overwhelming that they can’t see how their current situation is affecting their health, safety, and overall well-being. Adult children are often active partners in the decision-making process, hand in hand, side by side, facing the fears and overwhelming details of this decision. Questions to ask yourself: n Who is the primary decision maker? n What would I gain by making a move? n If the current support you are receiving ended, how long would you be safe living alone?

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 2017

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!

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Helping seniors keep their independence - and their address.

“

When I found out the love of my life, the person who I depended on the most for 25 years, suddenly lost his independence, I was devastated. I knew I couldn’t take care of him alone. Our caregiver provided the level of personal care we needed in our own home that I couldn’t provide by myself.” — Ellen, a ResCare HomeCare client

How to Prevent Falls “Falls don’t just happen, and people don’t fall because they get older. Often there is one underlying cause or risk factor involved with the fall.” --National Institutes of Health (NIH) Falling is a top concern of many older adults. This fear leads to apprehension and a reduction in activity which only increases the risk of falling and debility over the long term. Most falls are preventable! The Truth about Falling n One-third of adults over 65 fall each year and more than half of adults over 80 fall annually. n In older adults, falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries. n 20-30% of older adults that fall suffer a moderate to severe injury including lacerations and fractures. n Recent information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that each year at least 250,000 older people (those 65 and older) are hospitalized for hip fractures. Fall Risk Factors Intrinsic (Self Risk Factors): n Balance and gait impairments. n Visual and motor reaction time problems. n Medication side effects and reactions. (Polypharmacy refers to taking more than four medications.) n Visual impairments. n Cognitive impairments. n Cardiovascular issues.

114 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2017

Incontinence (loss of bladder or bowel control). Medical complications such as urinary tract infections or dehydration.

Extrinsic (External Risk Factors): n Poor lighting. n Stairs with poor railings. n Throw rugs or slick floors. n Improperly fitting clothing or footwear. n Lack of or improper use of assistive devices such as canes or walkers. n Cluttered living areas. n Rushed movements such as hurrying to answer the phone or a door. What You can do to Prevent Falls Fall Proof your Home: n Make sure that you have adequate lighting. This eliminates potential trip issues and helps if you have a visual impairment. n Remove loose throw rugs or tack them down. n Avoid slick floors. n Remove clutter from the floor. n Add grab bars and hand rails as needed in the bathroom or near steps and stairs. n Re-organize commonly used items to make them easier to reach. n Make sure you have clear pathways with extra room to accommodate any assistive devices such as a walker. Fall Proof Yourself: n Have your eyes regularly checked and always wear appropriate eye-

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Research studies indicate that exercise can reduce the risk of

falling. Before starting a new exercise program, it’s best to consult with your physician to resolve any potential medication issues and be certain that you are healthy enough for exercise. A fall can significantly and permanently alter your ability to care for yourself and function independently. Maintaining your physical function and mobility is a critical component to aging well and gracefully. Be Proactive! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Ben Shatto, PT, DPT, OCS, Director of Therapy Services at MultiCare Home Health, and author of the website www. thePhysicalTherapyAdvisor.com)

wear. For example, if you wear reading glasses, don’t wear them when you’re walking. Be sure your footwear and clothing fit appropriately. Pants can fall down off your waist and cause you to trip. Pant legs that are too long or improperly fitting shoes are also common trip hazards. Use your assistive devices, such as canes and walkers, appropriately and be sure they fit properly. Maintain adequate lower leg and core strength. Maintain adequate balance and stability.

HOSPICE CARE

Is Hospice Underutilized? Families tell me that if they bring up end-of-life, their parent will think they want to “push them aside”. Spouses worry that even thinking about it will somehow hasten passing or cause their partner to pass sooner. The reality is, given the right opportunity, those living with illness often welcome the opportunity to share their preferences about their end-of-life choices. Listening without judgment to the individual’s worries or advice can be a gift to them. Researching what is available to help care for a family member living with advanced illness relieves the individual from having to do the work themselves; hospice care can help. People often wait too long before seeking hospice care. It seems that misinformation about the benefit coupled with our general discomfort talking about end of life prevents families from taking advantage of the valuable benefit of hospice care. The benefits for caregivers is that an important part of taking care of yourself is taking breaks. Your

124 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2017

hospice team will offer to have volunteers come and sit with the patient or help with chores to make things easier for you. Hospice offers bereavement services to caregivers and families for at least one year. These services can take a variety of forms, including telephone calls, visits, support groups, and written materials about grief. Pursuing the Hospice Benefit and accepting help from hospice can feel like a major change in how the person receiving care and their family considers the remaining time they have together. Caring for someone with serious illness and at the end of life is a daunting task, both mentally and physically. Having a dedicated, skilled, and caring hospice team of professionals to help you and your family in the end of life journey can make a difference in everyone’s well-being. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Shaw Phillips, Owner, Doctor’s Hospice of Idaho, 208-985-2260, www.doctorshospiceofidaho.com

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.

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.

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.

Transition Tips for Family Members Transition can be especially hard for seniors. Not only are they nervous about something new but moving to a new environment can also make them feel like they are losing both their home and their sense of identity. Help your family and yourself by reviewing these ideas on how to simplify the transition process. Prior To Beginning Your Search n P lant the idea of moving early on. Take things slow and get your parent(s) accustomed to the idea. Remember, any kind of change can be horribly scary. n P romote open communication and positive dialog. Talk about how the move may promote more independence without the maintenance of a house. Also, talk about the opportunity for increased involvement in activities with other people. n M ost importantly, be prepared. Plan ahead. Don’t wait for a crisis to hit that forces you to rush the decision. While You Are Searching hoose a home that reflects and C meets the social physical needs of your family member. n L et your family member be involved with the process as much as possible. Avoid making them feel like they’ve lost control. The more input they have in the process, from the choice of the facility to the furniture arrangement, the more easily they will adjust to their new home. n

144 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – APRIL-SEPTEMBER 2017

After You Have Made A Selection n Don’t rush the move. Reduce the tension by having the whole family come together and work through the downsizing process. Allow and encourage your parent to say goodbye to the old and have the whole family encourage them to look forward to the new. n Let the professionals who work in these communities assist you. They will help you with the transition process and they know how to deal with it. Have a member of the community establish a relationship with your parent by “dropping by for a visit”. Then take your parent to visit “that nice person” for a meal and or an activity when you are out and about. n Ease your parent into the move by going with them on an outing or activity hosted by the facility. Your presence may help soothe some of those “first time” insecurities. n Make an effort to fine another resident to shares similar interests or backgrounds. Make an introduction, so that they know at least one person to chat with during meals or activities. n Place favorite treasures such as, furniture, pictures and mementos in the new environment to evoke a sense of home.

Assisted Living or If living alone is no longer safe or Independent comfortable for your aging loved one, you may be considering different Living? senior living options including independent living and assisted living.

Learn what the difference is between independent living and assisted living, as well as the advantages of each so that you can make a more informed decision. Assisted Living Assisted living is ideal for seniors who need help with some tasks— such as bathing, meal preparation, and dressing (also known as Activities of Daily Living)—but who do not require constant care. Assisted living communities are not synonymous with “nursing homes.” At the heart of an assisted living environment is a thriving and vibrant senior community. Residents have the ability to participate in an array of activities, including social, recreational, and wellness programs, activities and crafts, community outings, and outdoor activities such as gardening. Many communities include off-site transportation for shopping, medical appointments and cultural events. Other assisted living resources include on-hand staff members to help

residents with eating, mobility, and medication reminders. Seniors enjoy three meals per day and snacks from a dietitian-supervised menu. Independent Living Independent living is best suited for loved ones who no longer wish to live alone, but would rather reside within a larger community of seniors. Residents within independent living communities enjoy the best of both worlds—they live on their own, but receive assistance with home maintenance and certain household tasks. This includes housekeeping, dining, laundry, and organization of social activities. Social gatherings may include bingo nights, game tournaments, movie nights, church services, trivia nights and wellness lectures. Additional independent living resources amenities may include covered parking, a community pool, and a fitness room.

Caregiver Or Loved One – The Choice Of My father was a man who was brilliant What To Do With and very successful. He was able to A Loved One With retire early and he with my mother had a wonderful life for many years. Dementia Unfortunately, his body deteriorated and he also showed signs of dementia. My mother like many wonderful spouses out there became his primary caregiver. He like so many others with dementia was not the same person she had shared her life with for better than 50 years. Yes, he was still her husband and our father but he changed and he needed help to meet his daily needs. Often due to the dementia he would not recognize the need for help placing him at risk for injury. He struggled to understand but his mind was not working properly. Frustration at times set in and he would take it out on my mother. He would not be physically violent but he would put demands on my mother that were often physically and emotionally draining. Her health then was put at risk and if she had to care for him much longer something would have happened putting both of them in Jeopardy. About this time my father’s health took a big turn and he was hospitalized. He was later placed in a rehab center but he continued to decline and passed within a short time. Although this was very hard for all of us it ended being a blessing. The fact was my mother no longer had to care for someone she was not physically able to do so. She did not have to make the hard decision to

place him in a care facility. However, many people are in this situation and must decide am I going to be the caregiver and put myself at risk or am I going to allow others to help and be the loved one again. The fact is it is hard to be a good loved one when you are a fulltime caregiver. This decision is anything but easy. Making the decision depends on man y factors. However, waiting too long to make this decision is far too common. Not making the decision often leads to some tragic event that will then force families into making plans in a panic or without being able to make the best decision. Often times adult children see their mother or father struggle to be a caregiver when they know it would be far better to have others do the caring. There are countless reasons this decision gets delayed too long. Whatever that reason maybe it will not go away by ignoring the problem and letting a tragic situation occur. So, when is the right time to place a loved one with dementia in a care facility? The answer is maybe never or maybe not yet. There are many great resources available to help families keep loved ones at home but not knowing or using those resources will put them at risk. Not just the one with dementia is at risk but also the

resentment for having to be forced into a new home. Waiting to educate is not the answer. Being proactive so you know what is available and what is best for your situation is the answer. In some cases, families are able to keep loved ones at home for a long time and maybe even to the end, but often this is not the case. If you have a loved one with dementia you need to start today to educate yourself on the resources out there. Do you want to be a loved one or a care giver? Being proactive and planning for the future allows you to make this choice much easier. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Gerald Bosen, Executive Director, Emerson House at RiverPoint – Garden City, Idaho

caregiver especially if they are an elderly spouse. The answer to whether you should place a loved one in a care facility is best when it can be a proactive and educated decision. It is never too early to plan for the future. Families that have a loved one in the early stages of dementia need to start this education of what is out there. They need to have open discussions with elderly parents including the one with the dementia. Even early on these people with dementia can tell you a what is important as the disease progresses. Often with open and honest discussion, they would be open to the idea of a care center if it means taking the risks of caregiving away from loved ones. If the idea is never discussed the one with dementia may exhibit anger and

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

Navigating the Search for Skilled Most people know what nursing Nursing Facilities is, but do you know what it means when nursing is “skilled?” Skilled nursing is defined as a type of care given by a clinical team of nurses and therapists who provide patients with a comprehensive plan to assist with day-to-day activities. These care centers, often called skilled nursing facilities, observe patients who are unable to engage in routine activities independently. Skilled nursing programs typically involve physical, occupational and speech therapies, and specialty services such as wound care.

Who needs skilled nursing? Individuals who need skilled nursing often require the following assistance: n E ating, bathing and dressing oneself n W alking and transferring from sitting to standing n R ecovery after a surgery or illness Home Care or Skilled Care?

While receiving care in the comfort of one’s home can be a convenient option for some, choosing a skilled nursing facility can help alleviate the obligations of being at home while receiving compassionate care that feels just the same. 3 Skilled Care Considerations Selecting a skilled nursing facility is a decision one shouldn’t take lightly. So most wise patients and their families shop around for a center that meets their needs, both clinically and comfortably. When taking a tour, review the following to

Is a well-maintained building, landscaping and décor in sight? Is the air conditioning and humidity comfortable and is everything you touch clean? Do you hear happy patients, guests, family members and staff? n I s it prestigious? Many facilities will claim to be the best.
