SAINT ALPHONSUS

Improving Your Health Conditions Nobody wants to acquire an ongoing or chronic health condition that interfere with their normal activities and requires multiple medications and doctor visits. As we age, however, this happens to many of us. So what can we do to preserve our health and independence as long as possible? And how can we help our family members and loved ones to do the same? One part of the answer, of course, is to live a healthy lifestyle; the other is to find comprehensive coordinated healthcare and a support system that meets your increasing needs, care that is surprisingly rare today. Fortunately, Saint Alphonsus is committed to helping people who have serious chronic health conditions to enjoy the best possible quality of life. To accomplish this goal, Saint Alphonsus has recently hired 12 highly-trained professionals and launched its “Enhancing Care Initiative,” which includes nine innovative services in Ada County so far: 1.

A palliative care clinic – for adults with serious, potentially lifethreatening conditions, such as cancer, heart failure or dementia 3. A house calls program – for patients with chronic conditions who have difficulty traveling to clinical locations to obtain care for their conditions 4. A hospital-based palliative care service – for hospitalized adults with serious, potentially life-threatening conditions, such as cancer, heart failure or dementia 5. A “Proactive Invitation” program – to identify people who are at risk for experiencing negative health events in the coming year – and to offer them extra care 6.

Engaged Living

COVER STORY – VERANDA SENIOR LIVING

Accepted Thought Process: I’m not a social person, and I keep myself active. Reality: Social interaction is vital to overall health and promotes engaged living. So many people think that the only reason to move into a senior living community is for medical reasons or when they can no longer take care of themselves. They often confuse staying active with being socially engaged. Loneliness and isolation can play a significant role in the decline of one’s health, including increased cognitive decline and loss of mobility, while staying active and socially engaged benefits overall health and well-being. And what about the joy of living? All of us at every age need peer-to-peer interaction, with peers who have been through similar life experiences, experienced similar successes and losses, decisions, and accomplishments. We need to interact with others who have lived through similar times and eras, while having opportunities to share day-today conversations. This becomes even more important as we age. Many people think that if they move to a community, they are going to sit around playing bingo all day or they must do everything on a schedule. These same people, when asked what a typical day consists of, admit that they’re just sitting in their homes by themselves, doing nothing. As much as we like our homes, our homes do not keep us company. Often, people do more in a community because they have transportation, someone planning activities, and people to do them with. For many people, just having someone to share meals with allows for more opportunities to engage with others. Senior living is not meant to change who you are and what you enjoy. It’s meant to add to and benefit your day-to-day life. Questions to ask yourself: n Who or what is your current social support? n What are you currently doing to stay engaged with friends, family, or peers? n When was the last time you enjoyed a day? ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by By Catherine L. Owens, V.P. of Sales and Marketing, Veranda Senior Living, Author of Be Your Own Hero: Senior Living Decisions Simplified. She specializes in helping seniors and their families make difficult, life-changing decisions that encapsulate the hopes of living fully, rather than just making a change in location.

“As an emergency room physician, I could see the gap in patient care with our seniors. I thought if there were a system that could better seamlessly bring medical care to our seniors, we could see true preventative healthcare across the continuum of care. That is why we created Veranda Senior Living, the first truly seamless healthcare approach. Simply put, this approach will help our seniors stay healthy, better informed and more independent.”

Few people know about Care Management or understand how it works. This article explains what it is and who can benefit. Care Management focuses on managing a person’s healthcare and best interests and is available for people with aging related issues, mental health, traumatic brain injury, or developmental issues. 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 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 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 skilled nursing homes.

Care Management

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 and realize caring for a loved one is creating a hardship. People whose loved one is being combative and could benefit from outside 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. ~

Information is gathered from the individuals themselves and may be solicited from family and other key members in the person’s life. The goals of the assessment are to maintain, improve, and enhance those areas which can be affected, and to minimize risk and potential harm to the individuals under assessment. Additional goals are to reduce the burden on the family caregiver(s) and provide support for the family. The Care Manager gathers the information needed for the geriatric assessment in the home of the individual or couple over several meetings. The assessment begins with comprehensive data gathering using interviews, screening techniques and instruments, data review and observation. The starting point is the gathering of personal information, medical history, review of medications, current medical concerns, in-

meals, handle finances, and live at home safely. They review the presence and completeness of advanced directives and powers of attorney as well as financial data; i.e., income, expenses, and assets. The initial meeting with the client(s) and whomever they would like present last 1.5 to 2 hours. We review our services, sign contract document and conduct the initial interview to get to know the client a bit. There are 2 to 3 additional meetings of 1.5 to 2 hours each to cover the topics outlined above. With couples, we may need an additional meeting. We can meet once

or twice a week depending upon the client’s schedule and energy level. After the assessment, the Care Manager organizes and documents all key information and identifies those areas that are going well and those that that needs to be addressed, or shored up. A plan is then developed in each area that needs to be addressed with goals, priorities, recommendations and potential resources. The final meeting of the assessment and care plan is with the client(s) and whomever they would like to attend to hear the summary and recommendations of our assessment; typically, 1 to 1.5 hours per person assessed.

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.

A Will or Trust: When it comes to deciding whether Which is Best a will or trust is best for you, it is important to understand your for You? options and which one is most appropriate for your situation.

Will A testamentary will (simply referred to as a “will”) is a legal document used to transfer an estate to beneficiaries after the death of the “testator” (the person making the will). Within the will, the testator usually names a “personal representative” (same as an “executor”) for the estate. For a will to be valid in Idaho, it must meet specific requirements under Idaho law. Revocable Living Trusts A person, during his or her lifetime, may create a “revocable living trust” whereby the grantor (the person making the trust), trustee (the person

who has legal authority to manage the trust assets) and beneficiary (the person who makes use of the trust assets) are all the same person. After the grantor dies, depending on the trust instructions, the trust assets may be distributed outright or held within the trust and distributed over time or upon the happening of a designated event. Revocable living trusts may be appropriate for persons who own real property in more than one state or have a blended family where spouses have children from prior relationships. Testamentary Trusts A testamentary trust is a trust

Does Having a Revocable Living Trust Eliminate Probate? To avoid the probate process, all assets must be transferred into the name of the revocable living trust. A common misconception is that a list of assets attached to the trust document accomplishes a transfer to the trust. However, the correct way to transfer assets requires an actual change to the title of assets including a home, certificate of deposits, bank accounts and brokerage accounts. Upon death, any assets titled in the name of an individual, not the trust, will be subject to the probate process.

For this reason, when a person creates a revocable living trust, it is best to also create a will, called a pour-over-will, as a safety net to assure that upon death any assets titled in the name of an individual are transferred to the trust and distributed accordingly. In Idaho, generally speaking, the probate process can be quite simple and relatively inexpensive. A New or Updated Estate Plan Whether a will or trust is appropriate for you depends on your circumstances. If you already have a will or trust, it should be reviewed periodically to make sure it reflects your current wishes and needs or upon any significant change in your life such as divorce or death of a spouse or beneficiary. Other important estate planning documents include a general durable power of attorney, living will and durable power of attorney for health care. ~

within a will. A testamentary trust is created upon the death of a person as specified in his or her will. The testamentary trust holds assets within the trust instead of outright distribution to a beneficiary. A common scenario is when parents create a testamentary trust to hold assets for the support of minor children or for college education for children until they reach a specified age. A testamentary trust can also hold assets for the special needs of a disabled child who receives government benefits.

Find Out How the Aid & Attendance The VA Aid & Attendance (more Benefit Can Help accurately called the Pension Benefit Your Family! program) is a great program to help war-time vets pay for long term care costs. There are three qualifications. First, the vet must have served for 90 days or more with at least one day during a war period. Actual combat action is not necessary; serving stateside is sufficient if done during the war period. Second, the vet or the widow of the vet, must be 100% disabled or 65 years of age or older. To qualify for the highest benefit amount, the vet or the widow must have ongoing care costs that a doctor has certified are medically necessary such as assisted living or memory care as well as in home care. Third, there is a two-part financial test. Income, as adjusted for this program, must not exceed the highest benefit rate available to the vet or widow. In addition, the net worth of the vet or widow must stay within prescribed limits. (My team can help you sort out the details.) If these requirements are met, the vet may qualify for a benefit ranging from a few dollars to over $2100 per month. The surviving spouse

may qualify for a few dollars to over $1150 per month. These extra dollars can be used to help keep a vet at home and bring in extra help as needed, pay for assisted living or allow the spouse to remain at the family home. This is an absolute blessing to those families trying to take care of their loved ones. So 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.

When It Comes To Hearing Aids, The Over-the-Counter (OTC) HearAlways Talk With ing Aid Act of 2017 has been a An Audiologist hot topic in the U.S. Senate since spring 2017. This act would allow for the sale of over-the-counter hearing aids without the supervision, prescription, involvement or intervention of a licensed professional.

The act attempts to increase accessibility and decrease the cost of hearing aid devices for people who think they have mild-to-moderate hearing loss. However, there are tradeoffs when purchasing hearing aids without a licensed professional involved in the process. First and foremost is knowing if you really need a hearing aid. You may have a medical condition that can be fixed with a visit to the audiologist or your physician. But what if you do have hearing loss that can be helped with a hearing aid? If this is the case, it’s critical that your hearing aid be fit to your specific needs and amount of hearing loss. An audiogram (hearing test result) is not the only thing you need to get the most out of your hearing aid. It’s not enough to just make sounds louder. Personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) are already available and used for recreational use (hunting, birdwatching, listening to your neighbor’s conversation). This product is not currently classified as

a medical device because it amplifies sound overall and is not fine-tuned to your specific hearing losses. The OTC Act would change this classification and allow electronic consumer giants to sell amplifiers and call them hearing aids. Improperly-fit hearing aids and amplifiers can actually make things worse, causing more hearing loss or undertreating your condition. Each person is different, with unique hearing loss and ear size, both of which can make a big difference in sound and satisfaction. These generic devices are not meant to solve hearing loss. So, what can you do? Talk with your doctor and audiologist about a diagnosis and get the appropriate treatment for your hearing loss. Treatment is most successful when a licensed professional is part of the process, not a cashier. This way, you can become part of the 91 percent who are satisfied with their hearing aids because they were fit by a professional.~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Kate Savage, AuD, an audiologist specializing in adult hearing loss and hearing aids, along with dizziness and balance at the Idaho Elks Hearing and Balance Center, Meridian Clinic.

Life is worth hearing.

Are you getting it all? If your hearing loss is subtle, you might not even know it’s happening—but it’s most likely affecting your relationships and quality of life. When you stay tuned in to the world around you, you’ll be more engaged and happy and make better decisions about your health and future. Why not schedule a hearing screening today?

Don’t Fall for Fall! It may still be 100’F as we start September and I write this article but Fall is on its way, so I thought a piece on falls or rather not falling seems appropriate. I meet a lot of people every week as I work with them to make their homes safer, but there is a common thread to conversations in relation to falls. I am returning home from a rehab center or hospital after a fall and cannot return home until I have safety changes made. I have fallen in the past and think it would be a good idea to look at what I might need. It’s not for me I am fine, just something in-case we have visitors or to keep my spouse safe.

Here is a list of some of the items to think about and what I look for when I visit a home.

In 2013 the CDC reported 2.5 Million non-fatal falls were treated in the emergency room with 750,000 requiring hospitalization. Of the 250,000 hip fractures in the same year 95% were from falls, falls impact quality of life, bank balance, family, overall health and in some cases longevity. So how do you reduce the risk of falling, as they always say the best defense is a good offense. Be proactive, saying you are fine even though you know it is harder to do things you used to do, is moving you further into the ‘going to fall category’. How many people in your circle do you know that have taken a tumble?

Remove trip hazards, rugs, extension cords, clutter, small furniture, pet bowls, kids toys, etc… Keep hallways & walkways clear, put frequently used items in accessible places. Install handrails on stairs, entry ways both front and back of house, patio and garage. there enough light, install night Is lights particularly for the trips to the bathroom at night. Add grab bars in the shower/tub, by the toilet. Non slip mats, tape or coatings in the shower/tub.

Now you may be thinking you already have things that you use to steady yourself, or will be ok to grab if you do fall. If you fall your instinct is to grab the nearest thing to hand and these fixtures and fittings will most likely not live up to the task. Alternatively, that soap dish you hold onto in the corner of the shower may give way and be the cause of a fall. Look at the list of items below and see if any of them look familiar, they fall into the list of things that should not be used in place of a real grab bar. Towel bars, shower rods/curtains, plumbing fittings, toilet tissue holders, shower doors, handheld shower glide bars, temporary soap/ shampoo holders

Even with all precautions a fall can still happen, do you have a way to call for help such as a fall alarm or when you take a shower is there someone in the home. A phone in your walker pocket could be unreachable if you are trapped in the tub. If you have a fall alarm do you always have it on. I know of a case locally when an individual fell outside of their home and was unseen

for several days. It was a holiday weekend and the neighbor who checked on them daily was away, they had a fall alarm but it was sitting on the kitchen table. I hope you found this article useful, if you need help contact a specialist in home safety or ask your medical provider to refer someone. In all the work I do I give a free assessments, if someone wants to charge to just to come and look stay away. And remember Prevention is No Accident! ~

And in its own category suction cup grab bars, they are cheap, they are convenient but when they un-suck and they will, you are typically relying on them to hold your weight. I always say they go wrong when you use them.

HOSPICE Hospice provides individuals facing terminal illness with care at home or in a healthcare facility. The goal is to assist patients to live in the last stage in their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than treatment. Please refer to our Hospice comparison grid on pages 124-131 for a complete list of hospice providers.

Some Conversations are Hard – A family is gathered by the bedside Have Them Anyway! 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?

The Cost of Long Term Care in Idaho Forbes magazine said recently that care for those with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias could “break Medicare”.

During 2017 alone, the cost of caring for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia in the United States will be about $259 billion. In Idaho, the monthly cost of nursing home care averages $7,290 and assisted living averages $3,240. Because of the staggering cost, figuring out how to pay for long term care is an incredibly important part of protecting a family’s hardearned life savings when they need help with long term care. One of the first steps in figuring out how to pay for care is to better understand that long term care can take many forms. It generally consists of getting help with the activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, managing medications, dressing, transferring in and out of chairs or bed, etc. While most understand that long-term care can occur in a facility setting, it can also occur at home. In-home care can be especially useful, because it can extend the amount of time a loved one is able to stay at home. However, this conve-

nience comes at a price. The average cost of in-home care in Idaho is about $20 per hour. Caregiver spouses needing respite for three hours a day can average an in-home care bill of about $1,800 per month. Having a caregiver come into the home during the day while a family member works a full time job might cost $4,000 per month. If 24 hour in-home care is necessary, the cost can easily run $15,000 per month. Assisted living communities, the most common form of long term care, can range in cost from $2500 to $5500 per month. In Idaho, memory care for a loved one with advanced dementia usually occurs at an assisted living community; the cost of memory care is usually on the upper end of the assisted living price scale. Skilled Nursing is the most expensive form of long term care because it requires the highest degree of physical assistance. Skilled nursing level of care is required when a loved one’s care needs advance beyond the level of care available at an assisted living community. Skilled nursing care in Idaho can range from as low as $6,000 per month to more than

Both the VA pension program and the Medicaid program have rules that can be complex. However, both programs generally require that seniors meet certain asset and income limitations to qualify. Seniors who need to utilize such benefits must carefully plan to protect their income and assets, especially when one member of a married couple needs long term care and the other may live independently for many more years. Spending the couple’s retirement on care can leave the healthier spouse impoverished, so good planning for such a situation is vital. It is possible to navigate the maze that is paying for long term care. But paying for care while protecting assets and income requires getting informed early and making careful decisions. Talk early with potential care providers and take the opportunity to sit down with a good elder law attorney who can guide you through the process and help you preserve assets and income.~

$9,000 per month. When faced with the cost of care, families are best prepared by researching possible care providers and communities to get a good idea of the options and the costs available to their loved one. Some families may choose to hire a care manager to help them navigate this selection process. Others may take advantage of independent placement services that help find facilities best suited for that particular senior and budget. Once the family understands the care options available, they can better review the senior’s current income and savings to budget for the care plan. Finally, families often look to see if any benefits might be available to help pay for long term care. For example, the VA has a monthly pension program (often referred to as “Aid and Attendance”) available to qualifying veterans and their spouses that can help pay for long term care. This pension program can provide hundreds of dollars a month to help offset the cost of long term care. In addition, the Medicaid program may cover some or all long term care costs for seniors who qualify financially.

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. ~

Legal and Financial Planning for People with Dementia PLAN FOR THE FUTURE 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. • Making arrangements for finances and property. • Naming another person to 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.

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. ~

Through these weatherization programs, customers learn how to use energy wisely, where they might save additional energy to help reduce their heating costs, and how to use new equipment such as a digital thermostat in their home. This oneon-one education is a good time to have questions about energy efficiency answered by professionals. These home improvements make

a real difference in the lives of Idaho Power’s customers. “We don’t get cold, and we don’t hear the wind blowing through the house like we did before,” said Donna Blay, a participant in Idaho Power’s Weatherization Solutions program. Energy efficiency upgrades to her family’s all-electric, manufactured home included: a new heat pump, new ductwork, a programmable thermostat, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and ceiling, floor, and pipe insulation.

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 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 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?

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?

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

98 BOISE AND THE TREASURE VALLEY – OCTOBER 2017-MARCH 2018

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 - HOME HEALTH CARE AGENCIES

Physical Therapy Can Help with Most of us are familiar with the Healthy Aging 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 with healthy aging by improving health span and assisting in a more successful aging process. We are all capable of successfully aging if we are intentional about the process. Successful aging has a different meaning for each of us, but commonalities exist in most scenarios. In order to age successfully and improve health span, you will need to fully embrace what it will take to accomplish this goal. To live safely, independently, and comfortably, consider your physical, mental, and emotional health as well as your community and any financial implications. Mobility is vital to independence. Independent mobility is different for everyone. It may be through ambulation or use of an assistive device such as a cane, walker or wheelchair. You need to maintain the ability to be independently mobile regardless of utilizing a mobility or assistive device. Aspects of maintaining mobility include adequate balance, strength, and endurance. As a person ages, the likelihood that additional

co-morbidities (other complicating medical conditions) is also likely higher. This means that addressing the foundations of mobility (such as balance, strength, and endurance) may not be a straight forward proposition. A physical therapist (PT) is uniquely qualified to understand your individual medical history as well as normal physiology. A PT can guide you on how to best and safely improve the foundations of mobility in the presence of complicating medical conditions. Increasing your lifespan without increasing your health span is basically a self-torturing program. We all want to have quality of life in our later years. A PT can help you to maintain your independence through mobility. Physical therapy can even be used as a preventative medicine to ward off many of the prominent illnesses attributed to aging. Humans were designed to move much more than our current lifestyles afford us. Maintaining your mobility is critical for all body functions and is fundamental in avoiding chronic illness. ~ Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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

HOSPICE CARE

My Family’s Journey In 1993 when my father was with Hospice diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 49, life as my family knew it changed forever.

As his health declined, his physician suggested that we contact hospice. I must admit that it was one of the most difficult phone calls we as a family have ever had to make. At that time, we knew nothing about hospice or the wonderful support that was awaiting us. The support was not only provided to our father, but to our entire family as well. From the first phone call to the very last bereavement visit, the hospice team was there for us every step of the way. Family members face their own journey as their loved ones near the end of life. There are so many feelings that arise and hospice can help not only the patient, but the family members as well by offering many support systems. Community Liaisons, can explain all the benefits of hospice care and answer any questions that you have, and make the admission process very easy. Registered Nurses, educate and help the family cope as health changes occur as death approaches. They order medica-

tions, equipment, and supplies for the comfort of the patient. The Social Worker provides a wide variety of assistance, including preparing advanced directives, counseling, and sharing community resources.

Emotional support can be provided for patients and families as those needs are identified. Bereavement services help families through the grief process for up to 13 months after a patient has passed away. It truly can be a hard decision to call hospice to care for your loved one, but it may just be one the of the most important phone calls you will ever make. ~

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

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.

SENIOR SENIORHOUSING HOUSINGDEFINITIONS DEFINTIONS

Senior Housing Definitions AGE RESTRICTIONS – Some communities have a restriction on the youngest age they are allowed to accept. These restrictions vary by community. ALZHEIMER’S / DEMENTIA ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Licensed assisted living facility or skilled nursing facility that specialize in delivering care to victims of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Communities are typically bedroom-style rental units with common areas for dining and activities. Many are locked for residents’ safety. Specifically trained staff usually serves the special needs of this population. Amenities vary for each community. ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Typically apartment-style with kitchenettes and private baths. Some offer companion accommodations. Personal assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating and ambulation. Rates vary from an all-inclusive to base rates with levels of care. Amenities vary for each community. DAY CARE – Any provider can elect to provide day/night services on a short or long term basis. Rates typically include a place to rest, one or two meals and snacks and activities for the day. Licensed communities are

prohibited by law to promote these services without a specific license. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING & URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) – helps apartment owners offer reduced rents to low-income tenants. 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.

Most accept private pay; Medicaid in some instances.

MEDICAID WAIVER – An assisted living waiver may be used to transition individuals out of nursing facilities or to provide persons at risk of institutionalization with options for remaining in their communities.

SENIOR HOUSING

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

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.

at MorningStar

"Today is the two-year anniversary of Mom moving to MorningStar, and I couldn't help but think of your staff on that First Day standing at the door, welcoming us when we drove in from Portland. I also think of the first time I met you on a Sunday afternoon, and all you did to assist us in this move. The relationships everyone has developed with Mom have been truly amazing, and have brought her real enjoyment and satisfaction. Thank you for all you have done for our family!" "At this special time of year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank you for your warm welcome as I came from Valley View. Yes, leaving friends there was difficult, but I am so grateful to be here. Your mission says it all: 'Honor God, Value All Seniors, Invest Generously,' and this is exemplified throughout the staff members. Also I am thankful for each day spent in my comfortable apartment. The windows on two sides allow me to see the dawn and then the brilliant sunsets!" "There are not enough words to express our thanks to you and your entire staff for the loving, caring help you have shown our family in the loss of my beloved husband. From each and every one, we have felt heartfelt sympathy. MorningStar is my home and am thankful for each friend." "Thank you for being so nice to me and making me feel so very special! You go above and beyond the call of duty to assist and please me. All of you are good at your jobs, and have made my apartment a cozy and comfortable home here at MorningStar."
