RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Welcome to the Winter–Summer 2022 edition of the Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa Seniors Blue Book. As we move into 2022 while we hope to be on the tail end of a pandemic, it is evident, the virus is not going away. We are now left to navigate a new normal and the Seniors Blue Book is here to help. For over 35 years, we have brought our readers accurate information to help the aging process, and this year is no different. Once again we have worked diligently to bring you the most up to date and accurate information. As a tried and true “authoritative publication” our entire mission is to provide our readers with everything needed to navigate not only aging, but the pandemic as well. With over 50 categories of community resources like Care Management and Elder Law, we are also happy to provide a complete listing of all home health and housing options, with comparison grids highlighting our partners. You can easily find resources based on our color-coded tabs. The blue section is community resources, the purple section contains home health and the green tabs are the pages where you will find our housing resources. Take a minute to TM

familiarize yourself with the set up and then start exploring! We hope you will find what you are looking for- and possibly even some resources you might not even know exist. No matter what you are searching for, please do your research, call ahead to be sure they are reopened, look for customer reviews, and ask questions. I always like to point out the articles throughout the guide. Our partners take great pride in what they do and are happy to share their knowledge with our readers. Check out our table of contents for those articles. Education is key and accurate information is invaluable when you need it. If you would like additional educational articles, head on over to our all-new website, seniorsbluebook.com. There you will find additional information about our partners in addition to an entire library of articles and videos to educate you and assist in your aging journey. Any questions? Just ask our “live chat” experts. We are here to help! Please reach out to us with suggestions, comments or to ask further questions. We love to hear from you! Thanks again for picking up the Seniors Blue Book. Here’s to healthy aging and a much better year ahead! Enjoy and be well, Amy Wilkerson, Regional Director

Why We Fail To Plan For Long-Term Care – Planning Ahead By Most Americans do not know, or refuse to accept, the facts Getting Past The surrounding their potential Unknowns need for long-term care and the costs associated with it.

According to a Genworth Survey, 70% of Americans over the age of 65 will need some type of longterm care. In addition, by the year 2040, 22% of the population will be over the age of 65, which is a 10% increase from the year 2000. Yet, this survey showed an increasing number of people over the age of 40 refused to believe they will ever need long-term care. Cost of Long-Term Care The survey showed a lack of understanding by many of the coverage available for longterm care. The truth is that Medicare does not pay for ongoing long-term care and typically doesn’t pay for care in the home. Most health insurance plans will not cover long-term services. Medicaid is a federally and state funded needs-based benefit that will provide for various types of long-term care. The actual costs for long-term care are staggering. The average annual bill for a nursing home is $90,000 and for home health care, approximately $50,000.

Planning Ahead Most Americans are unprepared for the costs associated with long-term care. For example, the results of the survey showed that only one-third of adults were “very or extremely confident” in their ability to pay for long-term care.

While many individuals reported being concerned over leaving family with debt or becoming a burden on loved ones, many do little to alleviate their concern in the way of planning. In fact, just over 30% of those over the age of 65 reported being concerned with this. And, finally, two-thirds of Americans over the age of 40 reported doing no planning for long-term care.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Respite Care And Finding Trustworthy FACT: Most adults over the age In-Home Care

of 65 prefer to stay in their own home as long as possible. We know there are many long-term benefits of allowing adults the freedom to age in place. Staying at home helps seniors maintain a routine, and home provides the familiarity and comfort no other place can. FAMILY CAREGIVERS: Their duties cover a wide range of responsibilities requiring endless amounts of energy, empathy, and patience. It can be a fulfilling experience, but it also comes with its own unique challenges including:

Emotional and physical stress A loss of self-identity n Lack of time to care for themselves n Financial strain n Feelings of isolation n Sleep deprivation n N eed to do it all and not ask for help n n

FAMILY RESPITE CARE SERVICES: Respite care allows family members in a primary caregiving role to take some time off from their responsibilities so they can focus on themselves for a while. While the family member takes a break, a professional caregiver can be there to make sure that their loved one is well taken care of, safe and comfortable. FINDING A HOME CARE YOU CAN TRUST – Preparation: n I dentify your loved one’s In-Home care needs n A sk family, friends or doctor for referrals and/or go online

M ake a list and choose 3 to 5 home care providers n C all and ask for a complimentary in-home assessment n

Questions To Ask: Are you HIPPA compliant? n W hat specific services do you provide? n W hat process do you use to hire and assess caregivers? n What training do you provide? n A re your caregivers’ direct employees on your payroll? n D o you check in on clients and caregivers regularly? n H ow soon can I get a caregiver and how often? n D o you tailor your services to my particular needs? n H ow do you provide great communication and problem solve? n W ill the same caregiver come every time? n Do you match caregivers to clients? n W hat happens if the caregiver does not show up on time or at all? n What payer sources do you take? n W hat are the rates for your services? n

If possible, make sure your loved one is part of this process. They’ll feel more comfortable in the long run when they’re involved in the selection of the Home Care provider. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Jaye Firmature McCoy-Owner of Firstlight Home Care.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Nursing homes were early hotspots for COVID spread, and COVID is particularly dangerous for the elderly or immunocompromised. Prairie Gate was fortunate during those early days and did not have any COVID infections. Their staff was diligent in adopting mitigation efforts as more was learned about the virus. They also followed protocols from the federal and state departments of health and the regulatory agencies that guide them. Since that time, Prairie Gate has implemented policies and preventive measures, including: Encouraging vaccination for residents and staff, even hosting onsite vaccination. n Installing new air purification equipment. n Adjusting visitation policies to keep residents safe but still connected to their loved ones. n Implementing a screening and testing process for anyone entering the community. n Facilitating telemedicine and phone-based visits to care providers. n

Even with these precautionary measures in place, some feel like

senior living communities aren’t their best option right now. Prairie Gate and PHS respectfully disagrees. “We understand people’s concerns about living in a community setting during COVID-19,” says Natasha Urinko, Prairie Gate Campus Administrator. “But we think the uncertainty of the pandemic is more than offset by the stability and services offered at Prairie Gate and other PHS communities.” Prairie Gate offers a range of residential options, from maintenance-free independent apartments to assisted living, memory care and long-term care, with services in between. Amid the uncertainty of these times, there’s a real comfort in the stability of a senior living community. It provides one of the most basic needs—a home. But it also offers much more: a vibrant, welcoming community where residents know, care about, and socialize with each other. Its dedicated staff is available to help residents with their needs, both today’s and as they evolve. “No matter what lifestyle best suits our residents, our goal is to facilitate and celebrate their independence and dignity,” says Urinko. ~

OVATION HEARTWOOD PRESERVE

Ovation Opening Soon in Nebraska

vation Heartwood Preserve is now accepting reservations in Nebraska. With a focus on wellness and fitness, the new independent living, assisted living and memory care campus is opening Winter 2022. The active adult lifestyle village is part of the new 500-acre Heartwood Preserve master-planned community in West Omaha. Ovation’s two-building campus covers 325,000 square feet and will include a full continuum of care and 300 residences. Those interested in learning more about this innovative concept can visit Ovation’s Reservation Showroom in the Pepperwood Village shopping plaza. “Our Reservation Showroom is an opportunity for people to experience what living at Ovation has to offer,” says company President Nicolette Merino. “It’s important that we deliver an unparalleled combination of innovation, service, amenities, wellness, culinary arts, and technology. We’ve already had multiple reservations, so the premium views are going quickly.” Ovation will be the first of its kind in many ways. It will allow today’s aging innovators, leaders, and civic-minded individuals to find their inspiration for life and freedom to relax, give back, travel, inspire, and tackle life with enthusiasm. Ovation will be Nebraska’s first voice-activated smart community. The Ovation Connect system brings together all of the technologies residents want and need into a single, easy-to-use system. The technology will be personalized to the unique needs and interests of each resident and includes security and safety features that provide peace of mind. Set amid parks, 8 miles of walking and bike paths, Ovation’s campus is located northwest of the corner of South 144th Street and Pacific Street near Millard North High School. In addition to high ceilings, classic detailing, stainless steel appliances, and quartz countertops, Ovation will also feature multiple restaurants including 1863 fine dining, Miller’s@Omaha and the Peony Park Bistro. Ovation will offer residents a rooftop deck, business center, theater room, Quik Pik convenience store, Starbucks, and lush courtyards. The community will also feature a pool and wellness center. Classes offered include yoga, tai chai, and access to a personal trainer. “We believe everyone is looking for an ovation for their life’s work and purpose,” states Merino. “Within these walls are places to live, thrive, invent, volunteer, and innovate.” For more information contact Ovation at 402-999-7900 or heartwoodpreserve@ovationbyavamere.com.

Among those factors? Urgency. Alzheimer’s and dementia are progressive conditions—leading to further cognitive decline over time. That’s why early intervention is critical when considering memory care. Rather than waiting until professional memory care is mandated by a physician, seeking help at the first sign of trouble will allow more time to make plans for the future—which can alleviate some of the uncertainty and stress when symptoms do progress. Initiating the conversation with your loved one is a crucial first step. And it requires caregivers to be

As you consider your choices, you may find that a memory care community can do more to provide consistent care than you’re able to on your own for several reasons, including: Safety Wandering is a commonly associated with memory loss. Becoming lost or confused can put individuals in dangerous conditions—and magnify worry for family members. Memory care residences feature secured entries, surveillance and other safety features which help protect residents from hazardous situations.

MEMORY CARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

Benefits of Moving to Memory Care Sooner Rather Than Later continued from page 99 24/7 Individualized Care Around-the-clock care is another great benefit. Staff including nurses, caregivers, cooks and life enrichment personnel all contribute to the care of those in the community. Unlike a home setting, care is provided 24/7 by staff who is ready to help your loved one. Routines and Activities Establishing routines and ensuring daily engagement provide substantial benefits for individuals with memory loss. Routines and stimulating activities can sharpen focus, ease agitation and even instill confidence and independence. Engaging activ-

ities can appeal to a wide range of interests as well as different levels of memory loss. Residents can socialize and have fun, all while maximizing cognitive functions. Even if you’re in the early stages of considering memory care, reach out to your preferred community. They’ll provide information that can help you on your journey. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by CountryHouse Residence for Memory Care. CountryHouse is part of the Agemark Senior Living family of communities and has 13 locations nationwide, including the newest in Elkhorn, Nebraska. Call 531-999-2747 to learn more. See ad below.

“I made the right choice for my parents AND for me!” Nancy, Daughter of residents in Lincoln Nancy’s parents recently moved into CountryHouse and right away she appreciated the homelike atmosphere and welcoming community. “I feel comfortable and at ease knowing that the staff is caring for my folks with fun, helpfulness, compassion, understanding and expertise.” Schedule a tour of CountryHouse.
