SENIOR HOUSING

First you should familiarize yourself with the many options available and determine which one is best for your needs. You will find definitions of each type of housing at the beginning of the housing section. Then turn to our easy to read comparison grids. The grids are divided into 7 categories, depending on the type of community: Affordable/Subsidized Housing, Active Adult, Independent/ Retirement, Assisted Living, Memory Care Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing. The buildings are listed by city or county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

IT WAS JUNE 23, 2005, on my 39th birthday and we were in the office of A.A.C Adoption & Family Network in Berthoud, Colorado with my two boys ages 6 and 7 and my husband. We were looking into adopting a girl when I got a call from my sister: “Mom has had a massive stroke and she is in the intensive care unit”. She had an occipital stroke, meaning her short-term memory and vision were badly affected. This is how my journey of home care started.

Elder Refugee Program

When working-age refugees come to the United States, they often bring their families — including older adult relatives. The Elder Refugee Program helps older adult immigrants discover resources, make social connections, meet other newcomers to the U.S., stay healthy and active, explore the Denver region’s arts and culture and feel welcome in the community. The Elder Refugee Program is funded by the Ofﬁce of Refugee Resettlement and provided by the Area Agency on Aging. Multiple language services are available. For more information call 303-480-6700.

Ombudsmen

If you live in a long-term care setting, there might be a time where you need someone who can help you understand your rights. An ombudsman advocates for the rights of residents in assisted living and nursing homes. Ombudsmen work with residents to make sure they receive the care they want and need. They help residents maintain their quality of life and receive quality care in all licensed long-term care settings. DRCOG also houses the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) Ombudsman. PACE ombudsmen are advocates for participants in programs outside of long-term care facilities. They help participants resolve issues related to care, health, safety or the participant’s rights. For more information call 303-480-6734.

Why Would I Consider A Trust For My Everyone needs an estate plan, Estate Planning? it doesn’t matter what your socio-economic circumstances are.

A simple estate plan will typically contain at least three documents. This will generally include a durable medical power of attorney and a durable financial power of attorney. The other document typically found is a way to pass your property upon death such as a will. However, there are times when a trust might be an option in your estate planning instead of or in addition to a will. So why should you consider a trust? Trusts are useful estate planning tools that can accomplish a variety of goals. They can help avoid probate, minimize taxes, and be used to give property to minor or disabled loved ones. Trusts can be created during a person’s lifetime (Living Trusts) or at the person’s death (Testamentary Trusts). Some different types of Trusts from both categories are discussed below. Living Trust A person can transfer their assets to a Living Trust and, as trustee, continue using their assets as they always have. Tax Planning Trusts Several different types of Living Trusts provide flexible alternatives for minimizing capital gains and estate taxes, including the Charitable

Remainder Trust, Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, Qualified Personal Residence Trust, Grantor Retained Annuity Trust,and Grantor Retained Unitrust. Testamentary Trusts A person can create a Trust under a Will, called a Testamentary Trust, which does not take effect until they are deceased. Disability Trusts (also known as Special Needs Trusts) A Disability Trust is a type of Living Trust that allows a disabled person under the age of 65 to use their own assets for their special needs, other than food and shelter, and keep public benefits, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). 3 reasons you may need a trust as part of your estate plan n

Why Would I Consider A Trust For My Estate Planning? continued

A loved one cannot be trusted with a large gift or has special needs

Limiting the potential for relationship-damaging fights is important

If you have concerns that a child does not have the financial skills to manage a gift or the loved one receives government benefits.

When you have worked hard and been successful, a trust may be able to limit conflict and the legal fees associated with litigation. ~

You want to transfer complex assets in a thoughtful manner

Trusts can be effective for keeping a vacation home or a closely-held business in the family. For large charitable donations, a trust allows you to leave a vision for how you would like the gift used.

er. We have home owners’ and car insurance in case of an accident. Yet so many of us avoid planning for the one event we KNOW will happen. Are we that afraid of acknowledging our mortality? We all understand the discomfort in thinking about death; we also know that planning NOW is the best time to do it. Planning from a point of strength, instead of in a crisis, not only captures your wishes, but also relieves the burden and stress felt by your loved ones at an already

emotional time. Planning ahead allows you to create a path for your loved ones in their bereavement which is key to healing. Consider giving your family the gift of pre-planning. It is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jamie Sarche, Director, Pre-planning at Feldman Mortuary, 303-322-7764 or email Jamie@ FeldmanMortuary.com.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

As we grow older, good nutrition is important but may cause a challenge to aging adults. Getting to the grocery store alone can be an obstacle, as well as having the mobility to actually prepare nutritious meals on a daily basis. Although some delivery services like Meals on Wheels are convenient, they are not customized to the individuals tastes and likes. Hello Fresh and other meal box type services can be expensive, and the meals still have to be prepared. Some home care services provide meal prep, but only on a limited basis and the care provider is

probably not a trained Chef. Chefs For Seniors provides meals prepared in the home by a professional Chef. Meals can be customized to individual tastes and dietary needs. The meals are packaged with care for the week in microwave safe containers. It is our mission to change the life of Seniors, one delicious meal at a time! ~

What Do I Do Now? “My Nurse Case Manager has told me that the doctors are discharging me and I need to be transferred to a Skilled Nursing Facility.” Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF’s) are specialized health care centers that provide a wide array of therapeutic services to continue to make you well so that you can return to home as soon as possible. In today’s world, hospitals are places where only the most acute and unstable patients are cared for until they are ready and safe enough to be transferred to a SNF. The fact that you are now well enough to be able to transfer to a SNF is great news. It means that you have made significant strides in your return to independence and a short stay in a SNF will get you even closer. Skilled Nursing Facilities are staffed with caring and competent therapists, nurses and doctors that can make sure that the treatment plan that has been determined by your hospital doctors and nurses will be carried out. Whether you’re recovering from a surgery or a medical problem, the

68 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2019-2020

caring staff at a highly ranked SNF will make sure that you get the best treatment and return to your prior level of function as soon as possible. “What does highly ranked mean?” Skilled Nursing Facilities are ranked by Medicare every year. You can find these rankings at www.Medicare. com/nursinghomecompare. This is a good place to start your search for a quality facility. After you’ve reviewed the website, discussed your options and received recommendations from your Nurse Case Manager or Social Worker, the next step is to ask a trusted friend or family member to go and tour a few facilities for you. Find out how often a doctor is in the facility. Is the facility clean and well maintained? Observe the staff to make sure they are happy and approachable. Once you’ve done these things you’ll be in a much better position to make an informed choice regarding your next level of your care. I sincerely wish you the best on your road to recovery. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Alexander Senkoff, M.D. (See ad on page 69)

Choosing Your Next Level of Care Many times after a serious injury or illness, the need for additional 24-hour medical assistance is needed to help a person heal, properly rehabilitate and ensure that he or she is in stable condition before returning home. What most people don’t know is that there are different options when choosing a continued care provider after your primary acute hospital stay. Each organization can vary by the length of stay, therapy intensity and type of medical personnel. Your medical provider can help you choose, but it is also important for you to be informed of your options in order to determine what care is best for you. Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTAC) If a person is in need of intensive medical care for a longer period of time (an average of 25 days or more), they should consider a long-term acute care hospital. This facility is best for patients who have just been released from an intensive care unit, who need to be monitored closely and more frequently by nurses and doctors. Long-term acute care hospitals focus on stabilizing a patient’s medical condition rather than providing comprehensive rehabilitation. In-Patient Rehabilitation Hospital In-patient rehabilitation hospitals focus on short intensive medical rehabilitation with the goal of getting

70 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2019-2020

the patient home as soon as possible. Patients who choose an in-patient rehabilitation hospital have daily doctor visits, receive specialized rehab nursing care and undergo more significant rehabilitation. These facilities specialize in intensive rehabilitation teams to include physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, psychologists and more. Each patient receives at least three hours of rehab therapy per day, five days per week. The average length of stay at an in-patient rehabilitation hospital is 12-16 days. Skilled Nursing Facility A skilled nursing facility offers long-term care for patients who are medically stable, but still need professional medical care and supervision. Although nurses are available 24 hours a day, doctors are only required to visit patients once each month. Skilled nursing facilities require Medicare patients to stay three midnights at their primary hospital before they are eligible for admission. Whatever your medical needs are, there is a 24-hour medical facility that is right for you. Always consult your family and medical provider to help you make the best possible choice for you. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital.

REHABILITATION HOSPITALS Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury or other medical conditions. They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation hospitals were created to provide services less costly on a per diem basis than general hospitals but provide a high level of professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapies. Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/or Speech), and interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day. 72 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2019-2020

What is a Reverse Mortgage Loan? A reverse mortgage can be used to turn a portion of the equity in your home into cash that can be used for many different purposes that may enhance and extend your retirement. If you currently have a mortgage, a reverse mortgage could eliminate your mortgage payment (taxes and insurance must still be paid, and the home maintained). It would also allow you to access any additional equity (over and above your mortgage balance), to create accessible cash which is not readily available while in the form of home equity. You have spent many years putting

your money into your home equity, and now with a reverse mortgage, you may be able to convert some of that equity into tax-free cash.* *This advertisement does not constitute tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor for your specific situation. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Renatta Anderson.

AMBER PERSONAL CARE

I Didn’t Know, But I Was Ready! IT WAS JUNE 23, 2005, on my 39th birthday and we were in the office of A.A.C Adoption & Family Network in Berthoud, Colorado with my two boys ages 6 and 7 and my husband. We were looking into adopting a girl when I got a call from my sister: “Mom has had a massive stroke and she is in the intensive care unit”. She had an occipital stroke, meaning her short-term memory and vision were badly affected. This is how my journey of home care started.

I was devastated, afraid and helpless. What was I going to do? I knew that she would not be able to live on her own anymore. Mom stayed in the hospital and after a month and half she would have to be released either to a nursing home or a place that provided 24/7 care. My brother and I signed up to take that journey together: We brought mom home. The first 6 months were devastating. We could not find quality caregivers or the

108 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2019-2020

right agency. We did not have anyone to learn about their experiences. There were no classes, manual or training on taking care of your elderly parents. There were not enough resources available back then. But we did not give up! Taking care of our mom taught us how to be patient, how to be strong, and how to believe in ourselves. Our mom lived a fabulous life in the comfort of our home and with the help of wonderful caregivers that we ended up finding on our own for the next nine and half years. Our mom passed away on January 16, 2014, living the best quality of life and loving care that she could have her stroke. Ever Since mom passed away I have been thinking about helping others by sharing my experience and passion. That is why I joined Amber Personal Care. It has been my mission to bring the same quality of care to Amber Personal Care. I am here to share with you my experience, love and passion for taking care of your loved ones.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Medicare Advantage Plans and Non-Medical Seniors have the option to “opt out” of traditional MediHome Care care plans and “opt in” to a Medicare Advantage plan.

These plans are rapidly growing because they offer benefits not covered by traditional Medicare including: eyeglasses, dental care, and non-medical home care. 2019 is expected to be the year in which this new benefit will be introduced and is expected to gain momentum with more plans offering the enhanced benefit over the next 2 to 3 years. Non-Medical Home Care is care provided by trained aides who assist

with routine and maintenance care, allowing seniors to enjoy independence in their own home and receive the care they need. If you or a loved one are struggling with daily tasks and would like to remain in your home, Medicare Advantage Plans which cover non-medical home care may be the solution. Non-Medical Home Care covers activities including assistance with:

Home Healthcare Definitions continued from page 121 to improve their ability to perform tasks in their daily living and working environments. Patients may have mental, physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities. Therapists also help them to develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. Occupational therapists help clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. Respiratory Therapy – Refers to services for care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system. It may include the therapeutic use of medical gases and their equipment, environmental control systems, humidification, aerosols, ventilator support, bronchi pulmonary drainage and exercise, respiratory rehabilitation, assistance with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and

maintenance of natural, artificial, and mechanical airways. TRACH CARE – Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allowing air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions. WOUND CARE – Refers to services for providing diagnosis and treatment for ulcers, pressure sores and other wounds. Treatments may include but is not limited to irrigations, dressing, and wound vacs. Some agencies may employ specialty nurses to provide and instruct in care specifically for patients with more complicated wounds. ~

Hospice Care Definitions HOSPICE Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with care at home or in a healthcare facility. The goal is to assist patients to live the last stage of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than treatment. Services Provided: N-NURSE – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides

reports identified needs to RN. VOLUNTEER – Provides respite and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement. Levels of Care: RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence, a retirement community, an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility. RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility. GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period. CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

24/7 ADMISSIONS – 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. AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Many provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 125 INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients. IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting. LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals”. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency. PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care. Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria. PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at Continued on page 129

HOSPICE CARE

Palliative Care Means More Palliative (pal-lee-uh-tiv) medicine Good Days is a specialty for anyone of any age living with a chronic or serious illness. This care helps people live each day as fully as possible by relieving pain and other distressing symptoms and providing support to the patient and family.

Who provides care? The palliative team may include a physician, RN or advanced practice nurse and a social worker. Providers are skilled at helping patients and families navigate the often complex emotional and practical considerations of living with illness. How does it work? Palliative Care starts with a meeting between the patient, family and the palliative provider. The first question is: What’s important to you? The answer informs a person’s unique plan of care. Palliative practitioners work with with a person’s existing primary care doctor and specialists, adding a layer of care. Support at Crossroads When patients find themselves with decisions about treatment or planning for their lives, the palliative practitioner can provide understanding and guidance. Providers can tailor 130 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2019-2020

medication or other treatment so people have more energy for living their lives. Family Support One of patients’ top concerns is how their disease or illness impacts the people closest to them. Palliative care helps people understand and talk about their illness better and provides family with support, tools and information. Where is palliative care provided? Care is provided in a person’s private residence, assisted living or skilled nursing facility or the hospital setting. Who pays for palliative care? Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance covers all or part of palliative care. As the wife of a palliative patient noted: Oncologists treat cancer, cardiologists the heart. But what happens to the rest of you? Palliative care can be the facilitator for all to work together. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Kelly Bastian, FNP-C, Managing Director of Agape Palliative Care.

Senior Housing Definitions continued INDEPENDENT LIVING is usually apartment style communities for adults 55+ with little or no senior support services. Many but not all are wheelchair accessible. INTERMEDIATE CARE – 24 hour inpatient care residents who need licensed nursing supervision and supportive care, but do not require continuous nursing care. Residents may receive full assistance with ADL’s and transfers. Residents receive meds from a nurse following a doctor’s orders and may receive outpatient rehab services. Facilities may use a nurse as a their consultant and the residents receive periodic assessments from a licensed practitioner. LONG-TERM CARE – Chronic, custodial care provided on an on-going 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. Assisted living waivers are designed to provide an alternative to more costly nursing home care. PRICE DEPENDENT ON LEVELS OF CARE – Flexible levels of service geared to accommodate different needs over time. Rates may vary depending on the changing levels of care while one maintains the same physical residence.

134 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2019-2020

PUBLIC HOUSING (PH) – Affordable apartments for low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities. REHABILITATION AND THERAPY – Many skilled nursing facilities offer restorative and rehabilitative physical and occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services. Short-term rehabilitation services may be provided to individuals with diagnoses such as joint replacements, stroke, etc. Long-term rehab may also be provided for permanent residents of the facility who have chronic or progressive illnesses. Occupational therapy services in this setting are generally reimbursed by Medicare Part A for short-term, acute care clients; Medicare Part B for long-term residents who require skilled services and have medically necessary need for rehab; and often by private insurance, Medicaid, or private pay for younger clients. RESIDENTIAL HOME – Assisted living homes are private residential homes that typically have a small number of residents who live together and receive care from live-in caretakers. Adult family homes offer room and board for seniors who want a more private, home-like community. Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing are provided.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

Is your loved one in a crisis? Do you feel hopeless and exhausted? n Are you overwhelmed and stressed? n Are you a part of the “Sandwich Generation” taking care of aging parents, children & grandchildren at the same time? n Do you see “RED FLAGS” of changes in personal hygiene, neglecting household responsibilities, social isolation, physical withdrawal, or cognitive decline in your loved one? n Are you worried about the costs of caring for your loved one? n n

Then reach out for a Senior Referral Company to give you a hand. The Older Adult population is rapidly growing and when there is a sudden fall, hospitalization, rehab stay or obvious physical or cognitive decline it is extremely overwhelming. Life is not meant to be walked or planned alone. Senior Referral Companies are available to “hold your hand” through the complex process of finding the right Senior Living Community for your loved one. As Americans we have always loved sports. The sports adage of T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More), also applies to your need for support in your search for your loved one. You can get lists of Senior Communities “on-line”, but you need more than a list. You need to talk to someone who understands your unique situation. Someone who knows the strengths and operational dynamics of each community. You need a T.E.A.M.

Having a professional walk with you each step of the way will give you Peace of Mind. Housing and Referral Specialists: n Provide FREE Assessment and Evaluation to determine Independent, Assisted Living, Memory Care, In-Home Care or Skilled Nursing appropriateness. n Tour with families to find the “perfect customized fit” to call HOME. n Understand and guide you to correct nursing “Levels of Care & Wellness.” n Customize the person’s criteria of Social, Financial, Personal Independence and Life-Enriching Activities. Fortunately, you have a T.E.A.M. and you don’t have to do this alone. Senior Referral Companies guide families and educate them on what is the “Right Fit” for their loved one. Baseball’s American Hero, Pat Gillick, gave us a famous quote, “Baseball is about talent, hard work, and strategy. But at the deepest level, it’s about love, integrity, and respect.” These are the things Senior Referral Companies give to families along with peace of mind, hope, (yes, even joy) as they “give you a hand” finding the right Senior Living Community for your loved one. ~

Josephine Russo’s family, after looking at several assisted living facilities, chose Serenity House.

Assisted Living in a Supportive and Nurturing Home Setting Serenity House is a unique alternative for assisted living services. Our residential homes service only 7 to 12 residents, allowing each individual more personal attention, nurturing and support than is available in larger communities. At the same time, we are fully committed to providing our residents with a full array of social and recreational activities. We have eight employees dedicated solely to facilitating both on-site and off-site activities. Our program has been recognized by the Colorado State Health Department through the receipt of the “Best Practice Award”. Serenity House is also highly regarded by numerous consumer advocacy groups. Serenity House is owned and operated by Michael W. Zislis, PT, a licensed physical therapist with over 35 years of experience in rehabilitation and senior care. As such, we have in-house expertise for the design and implementation of resident specific programs to maximize safety, independence and fitness. Finally, our staff is treated with respect and is offered many opportunities for professional development. As a result, we have outstanding staff retention. Our 17 Residence Managers have worked a total of 106 years with the Company. This results in experienced employees who are committed to providing the very best care for each and every resident.

SERENITY HOUSE ASSISTED LIVING INC.

“When my mother was 94 years old, she broke her wrist just before being placed at Serenity. She needed care while in the cast, and physical therapy after the cast was removed. Michael Zislis, owner/physical therapist was on top of this immediately. It was so convenient. Everything for rehab was right there. Thanks to Michael and his professional staff, mother’s wrist is back to normal and she can now participate in the many activities that Serenity House has to offer. We know we made the right choice with Serenity House.”

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

challenge stimulates the brain in beneficial ways. 4. True. It is true that as brains age processing speed slows down. This does not, however, mean that older brains cannot perform as well as younger brains. In one study, one-third of older brains functioned as well as, and in some cases better than, younger brains. 5. True. Research has demonstrated that individuals who regularly engage in cognitively challenging activities have a lower incidence of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and dementia. 6. False. The best exercise for your brain is new challenges.

The key is that it is different and difficult. This stimulates a brain chemical called acetylcholine which is important in growing new brain cells. 7. False. While genes are certainly important factors in brain performance and health, our brains are significantly influenced over our lifetime by a variety of other factors including mental and physical exercise, nutrition, stress, sleep, and other factors.

JAXPOINTE MEMORY CARE HOMES

Until he was 70, Tommie was a cowboy and loved to herd cattle on horseback on his South Dakota Ranch. Tommie suffered a severe heart attack and his dementia quickly progressed. Tommie’s daughter, Cindy, moved both her parents to Colorado so that she could visit more often. She placed them in a large assisted living facility memory care unit. Tommie’s wife, Dorothy, passed away 7 months after moving to Colorado. Tommie declined quickly in that environment because he wasn’t eating and wandered a lot. Cindy was unable to work because of her daily visits to her father. She made sure that he would eat and was safe. That experience took a toll on Cindy, her husband, and two young children. They found Jaxpointe at Flower Ct. and moved Tommie two and a half years ago. It is the perfect environment for Tommie to call home for the rest of his life. The backyard walking path enables Tommie to enjoy nature and walk around. After placing Tommie at Jaxpointe, Cindy and her family went on their first family vacation in four years because they were so comforted by the care that he was receiving. These days, Tommie is doing great. Daily he dons his western shirt, suspenders, jeans and most of the time, his cowboy hat. He will greet you when you come into Jaxpointe, and always tries to join in on conversations. He goes out in the backyard daily to walk or will “try to find his cattle or check on his hay crops”. He is very happy and enjoys every day. There are times that he doesn’t remember family members or their names, but he is thriving in the person that he has become with dementia.

have developed over time and can control without even realizing it.

We all have unkind thoughts from time to time, but we do not always say out loud what we are thinking. Our social filter helps us use words and actions that show kindness and consideration to others. An example of this is when we get a handmade sweater from our Grandma. The unkind thought might pop into our mind “Wow, this is sure ugly!”, but we don’t want to hurt her feelings, so we instead say: “Thanks for the sweater, Grandma, that must have been a lot of work!” - our Social Filter at work. Social Filter on - brain is considering other people’s feelings; Social Filter off - brain is only thinking about one’s self. The front part of the brain is responsible for these Social Filters and when Dementia hits this part of the brain, it can destroy the learned responses that filters provided and unkind words or actions can come out. This can be an insult here, a racist remark, an obscene gesture, foul language, sexually inappropriate behavior or comments, really any of a number of things that might be construed as mean or insulting. Also as quick as this behavior appears, it can be replaced by properly functioning social filters causing an observer to wonder what is going on.

As professional caregivers of people with dementia, we have developed techniques to help with this inconsistent behavior of the brain. We try to learn as much about the person who has the dementia and exhibits these behaviors so we can help them remember what they forgot, their filter. We remind the offender that we don’t act or speak that way to this person because they are our friend or that you just hurt them - helping them relearn their filter. Now with dementia they don’t always remember what just happened, but when this reminding happens with the right technique, some elements of learning do take place. Other times we learn that the filters are lost when the individual with dementia is in pain and they don’t know how to ask for help or say they are in pain. They do remember how to call attention to themselves by losing their filters and it is up to their caregivers to discover there might be a medical problem underlying this behavior or change such as an infection or dehydration or any number of things. ~
