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 3 categories, depending on the type of community: Independent Living and Retirement, 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.

MEMORIAL NURSING HOMES

You have a choice. We can help. Which kind of care? Recovery Care. Following a serious illness, accident

or surgery, a patient may need important, short-term care before returning home. During this brief stay, our skilled, medical staff helps you regain function adequate to sustain a productive life.

Continuing Care. With advancing age, some people need more assistance with everyday living; maybe they develop medical conditions that require constant attention. If you are not able to live at home, either alone or with a caregiver, our nursing homes offer safety and easy access to expert medical care while providing many comforts of home. Specialized Care. Many aging adults experience memory loss so advanced they lose the ability to think effectively or function independently. If you or someone you love is facing the unique challenges of Alzheimer’s disease or some other form of dementia, Memorial offers a certified environment staffed by specifically trained medical professionals. 46

HEALTH AT HOME - HOME HEALTH AGENCIES

Adult Day Care or In-Home Care: Many of us were familiar with “day Your Choice care” when our kids were pre-school age, and we needed the kids to be cared for while we were at work.

Well, what about having mom or dad living with us when they shouldn’t be left alone at home all day. Not only would it be boring, but it may be medically unadvisable. We have choices of in-home care such as a Home Care and Personal Assistance agency (pages # - #), or away-from-home care in an Adult Day Care (ADC) facility (page #) The available level of care varies among agencies and ADC facilities, 60 SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – 2020 WINTER–SUMMER

so be sure your loved one’s needs will be met when selecting care. In-home care with a caregiver affords certain “comforts of home” that may be beneficial, yet an ADC offers interaction with other seniors and activities not available at home. Both have advantages; we have had families tell us that they use both options, with in-home care on the first two days of the work week, and ADC the other three days. Whichever you choose, be sure it’s providing an enriching, satisfying experience for your loved one. ~

Make a will. Don’t burden your family with legal details that will be costly and time-consuming. Tell everyone what you want them to do with you and your property, even your debts. Real Estate and Finances: Plan for transfer of ownership while you can. Be specific; Consult an attorney listed in this Seniors Blue Book. What you want to happen may not be what actually happens after you die. Plan your funeral. A funeral home must pick-up your body so plan ahead. Otherwise your family will be burdened with an expensive and emotional event. Don’t leave them with decisions about what to do with you. Give-away “stuff”. Whether it be money, furniture, what’s in the attic, jewelry you don’t wear anymore, or sentimental items like family heirlooms; do it now. Not

Five Good Reasons to Check-out Assisted Living From struggles with personal hygiene to forgetting to take mediFacilities cation or just seeming lonely - there are many signs that an older adult may benefit from community living. Here are five (of the many) reasons to encourage your patients to consider moving into a senior living community: ADL Support Many adults 85 and older need assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, feeding, grooming, getting into or out of bed, and going to the bathroom. Difficulty with ADLs can

negatively affect a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. Getting help with these essential self-care tasks is one of the biggest benefits of community living. Safety Falls are the leading cause of injuries for adults 65 and older. Senior living communities are designed to keep older adults as safe as possible in their homes, and if a fall were to occur, help is readily available. Medication compliance It can be difficult for older adults Continued on next page 85 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

Five Good Reasons... continued from page 81 to take their medication as prescribed. Senior living communities have programs and processes in place that can help with medication reminders transportation to the pharmacy, and can notify a health care provider or family member if they notice a change in a person’s health condition or behavior. Nourishment Senior living communities have robust dining services that can help nourish residents. An older adult with a chronic medical condition like diabetes or high blood pressure may need to follow a special diet. Certain foods might negatively interact with medications, or medication may change a senior’s appetite. The staff

of an assisted living community will monitor their residents. Companionship Chronic loneliness can impact a person’s memory, physical well-being and life expectancy. Senior living communities support many of the aspects of life that can help mitigate loneliness, such as group meals, activities, outings and transportation to events. ~ Editor’s Note: For further information contact Care Patrol of Greater Mobile and Northwest Florida, Amy Boswell 251-930-4022 or Petra Percivalle 251-415-4800, and see listings for Assisted Living in this Seniors Blue Book.

Typically Studio, 1 BR or 2 BR rental apartments with full kitchens, and private baths. Services may include meal plans, transportation, housekeeping, laundry and maintenance. Amenities are usually abundant; libraries, computer stations, and other social gathering spaces. Rates are monthly and based upon size/ location of apartment. MEMORY CARE – These communities are either licensed assisted living facilities that specialize in delivering care to residents with dementia or a unit of a skilled nursing facility. Communities are typically bedroom-style rental units with common areas for dining and activities. Many are locked for residents’ safety. Staff is usually specially trained. Amenities vary. Services include meal plans, cable television, local phone calls, housekeeping, laundry maintenance and transportation. Personal assistance with ADLs available. Rates also vary from all-inclusive to base rates with levels of care. Payor sources usually accepted are private pay or some insurance plans. RESPITE CARE – Provides a tempo-

Residents typically stay from a week to a month, depending on the situation, and receive all the services of the community to meet their needs. Respite care services are usually private-pay. SKILLED NURSING CARE – Is provided by licensed nurses in nursing homes, 24-hrs, for residents with complex medical conditions requiring a high level of need and routine services. Residents can have a private or a shared room. Meals are served in a dining area, activities are scheduled, and therapies are available as prescribed by a physician. Some skilled nursing facilities have a separate secured area for residents with Alzheimer’s or other dementia conditions. “Long term care facilities” or “nursing centers” are synonymous terms for skilled nursing facilities.

Know the Difference in Inpatient You never know when you may be Rehabilitation for faced with the challenging task of Better Recovery being a caregiver for someone you love. Stroke, brain injury, hip fracture, Parkinson’s disease and many other conditions may require the need for inpatient rehabilitation. Knowing the difference between an inpatient rehabilitation hospital and a skilled nursing facility–or nursing home–can help you as a caregiver to make an informed decision in choosing the best rehabilitation program for your loved one. Making the right choice gives your loved one a greater chance of reclaiming independence for a higher quality of life and a return into the community. When comparing rehabilitation choices, it’s important to ask questions and compare notes from place to place. Questions like, how often is the patient seen by a physician? Do the nurses specialize in rehabilitative care? How advanced are the technologies that will be used? How much therapy will my loved one receive? Are rehabilitation teams experienced and experts in their field? By gaining this knowledge, you gain a clearer view of the benefits one place offers over another, boosting patient recovery to optimum levels. When you conduct your own research, you will know the difference before you choose a rehabilitation provider. Pay close attention to the following areas, key differences in many locations for treatment. SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – 2020 WINTER–SUMMER

Advanced technologies: New technologies and treatments consistently offer patients greater options for successful rehabilitation and recovery. Yet, some skilled living facilities do not offer these advancements, limiting progress and a successful return to independence. Frequent physician* visits: Patients are evaluated by a rehabilitation physician at least three times a week at a rehabilitation hospital, leading team meetings to discuss a patient’s progress in reaching goals of independence. 24/7 rehabilitation RNs: Patients have around-the-clock care from registered nurses that specialize in rehabilitative care. Three hours of therapy a day, five days a week: A rehabilitation hospital requires that patients receive at least three hours of therapy five days a week. Patients have their personalized therapies spread out throughout the day to improve appropriate skills including walking, swallowing, eating, cooking, grooming and dressing. A higher level of care in rehabilitation can make a proven difference for patient outcomes. ~ *The hospital provides access to independent physicians.
