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.

Conversation with a You may have thought you had it Loved One covered by arranging for a caregiving service to help prepare Mom’s meals. It’s true that seniors value the meal preparation assistance they receive from a family or professional caregiver. Eating that delicious home-cooked meal, after all, is the fun part, right?

But when you sit down to dine with an older loved one, do you struggle to know what to talk about? A senior’s world may have shrunk to the size of their four walls. Even so, mealtime conversations are an important part of the dining experience. According to Dr. Amy D’Aprix, an expert on aging. “Sharing memories is a great way to deepen your relationship with an aging relative,” D’Aprix said. “But sometimes we all need

Knowing Heart Attack Symptoms Heart attacks kill more people in the Saves Lives U.S. than any other single disease.

Chest pain is the most common symptom reported. The sensation is described as tightness, squeezing or heaviness in the chest. Some people experience pain in the left arm, neck and jaw. It is critical to have all symptoms of a possible heart attack assessed and monitored by a physician who specializes in heart disease treatment. “Heart pain can be difficult to point to with a single finger,” explains Louis J. Scala, MD, a Board Certified physician with specialization in Cardiology. “Other symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, sweating and feeling anxious. We pay attention to symptoms and monitor

the individual’s risk factors.” Your physician addresses both modifiable risk factors (smoking, diet, exercise) and non-modifiable risk factors (age, genetics, gender). Risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and high stress can improve with medications and lifestyle modifications, with physician supervision. Understanding heart attack symptoms and your risk factors can save your life or that of a loved one. Don’t guess. Always have symptoms evaluated by a physician.

has positive or negative effects on their physical health? Whether its pain issues, cardiovascular health or some other medical conditions, maintaining good behavioral health can significantly improve recovery time from illness and continued well-being.

Just as specific treatments are given for physical injury, specific mental health programs are designed for seniors; it’s important to get the appropriate type of treatment for geriatric behavioral health. Sometimes a senior’s behavioral health issues may be addressed on an outpatient basis based on what the doctor orders. Outpatient programs may be primarily based on group therapy. During group therapy, licensed health professionals lead the group by setting appropriate topics for group discussion and encourage members of the group to participate. Group therapy is effective because a participant interacts with others in a structured setting that promotes a better understanding of geriatric behavioral health issues. Seniors share their thoughts and experiences, learning from each other with the guidance of the group leader. Social interaction helps the senior to talk and socialize with other seniors who may have similar experiences. In addition to group therapy, the senior may also receive individual, family or marital therapy if ordered by the doctor. Sometimes these Outpatient Programs can meet

a senior’s behavioral health needs without requiring more intensive care such as hospitalization. If a senior citizen’s behavioral health needs cannot be met on an outpatient basis, more intensive services such as acute geriatric behavioral health treatment in a hospital are available. Each patient has a goal oriented plan detailing how the hospital, patient and family will work together to reach treatment goals, resulting in discharge from the hospital. A senior may need this type of treatment due to thoughts of self-harm, not wanting to live, depression, anxiety, or medication management issues. One of the greatest benefits of acute in-patient care is the 24 hour controlled environment while behavioral health issues are addressed. How does someone go about requesting behavioral health care? The first step is a phone call to a geriatric behavioral health provider, and an assessment by a healthcare professional. Strict laws regarding rights to privacy protect all conversations and treatment by behavioral health professionals and health care facilities. Your confidentiality is protected by law, so if you feel that you or a loved one may benefit from these services call a geriatric behavioral health provider today.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that each year in the US, nearly one-third of people aged 65 and older experience a fall. One out of 10 falls in this age group result in an injury requiring hospitalization. Be proactive in your quest for maintaining independence. Here are some tips to reduce your chances of falling. Don’t multitask while walking. This interferes with your ability to notice that you are about to fall. Be aware of your surroundings, including surface changes and obstacles. Exercise. Tai chi, water workouts and walking all build strength while improving flexibility. Take a balance class, strength training, Tai Chi, yoga, Zumba, or play pickleball. Cross train and add a new activity or exercise class into your day. Keep moving, working for coordination and balance. Use it or lose it! Get your eyes tested. Identify and treat vision problems so you can clearly see where you are going. Be good to your eyes, and get regular check-ups. Consider your medications. Some prescriptions may cause excessive drowsiness or dizziness; talk to your doctor about possible alternative medications. The combination of several drugs or over the counter

medications can sometimes cause unexpected problems. Make your home safer. Remove all floor clutter, secure throw rugs, and place non-slip mats in showers and tubs. Paint the top edge of steps a contrasting color, or use solid-color carpeting to better see edges of individual stairs. Choose shoes wisely. High heels can throw you off balance. Floppy

Con games are nothing new; they’ve been around for decades. The one thing that’s changing the frequency with which seniors are being targeted by criminals looking to make a quick buck. Seniors comprise about 40% of all fraud victims. The fear of running out of money and the appeal of a windfall “get rich quick” opportunity make older adults so vulnerable to tricksters, scammers and con criminals. Here are the five common scams against seniors: Prizes and sweepstakes scams: A senior is told he or she has won a sweepstakes and all that’s needed is a check to cover the taxes. Or, a senior will receive a fake check for $10,000 with instructions to deposit the money and send back $3,000 to cover taxes. By the time the senior learns the deposited check is no good, his or her money is lost. Home-improvement frauds: Criminals will knock on a senior’s door offering to fix an obvious problem; they’ll “fake’ the repair and charge several hundred dollars (a low “senior” rate!) for the repair. Worse is when you pay “half” in advance; you’ll never see the repairman again. “Phishing” schemes: The caller says they’re from a financial institution and someone is trying to use your credit, so your personal information must be verified. You give them your Social Security, credit card, and bank account numbers. They use this to steal money from you. (NEVER give

information like this to ANYONE – see #5 below) Internet fraud: A senior who is unfamiliar with use of the Internet can unwittingly give a credit card number to a scammer. Identity theft: A senior who gives a birth date and Social Security number to a stranger can open up his or her entire personal financial history to a thief. What can we do to lessen the chance of being scammed or defrauded? First of all, you’re old enough to know if it sounds too good to be true, it’s not true. Second, you do not have to talk to telemarketers; your phone is not an open door to your house. Third, do not make quick decisions about spending money or giving information to anyone, and have a trusted family member or friend you can consult whenever in doubt. Finally, there are no “quick money” opportunities that just happen to show-up from a stranger; you know better, so don’t be fooled. Be vigilant; criminals will try just about anything. Scammers have no conscience; they don’t care about you or your family. If they approach you it’s by their design, not happenstance, and they intend to get your money. Think of your telephone as you think of your front door. You don’t open it to just anybody, and you can open and close it whenever you want to.

the expectation of a life-long happy marriage and a golden retirement.

One day an unwelcome visitor, Alzheimer’s disease, shows up at the front door. We live with a spouse who has no recollection that we were once a young, active, married couple. Our spouse has becomes a person, much like a child, for whom we provide care. We wake in the morning to toilet, dress, and make breakfast. We stay home for fear of leaving our loved one alone. Each night we listen for our loved one to get up out of bed. Sleep is illusive. Worry, stress, and overwhelm our new constant companions. What happens when a spouse admits that he or she can no longer care for a spouse with Alzheimer’s disease? Blame, guilt, and shame from family, children, friends, and acquaintances is freely offered, “I would never put my husband (or wife) in a home—what are you thinking?” “He (or she) would never do that to you.” Until one walks in the shoes of a caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer’s it is impossible to understand the day to day joys, pressures, and struggles. The caregiver and the care receiver become prisoners in their own home, opposite of the life imagined by many in retirement. What happens when the person you married no longer recognizes you or believes you to be a friend whose

name cannot be remembered? Is the marriage still a real marriage? Should the healthy spouse dedicate their life to caregiving and sacrifice what most would consider a normal life of friends, activities, and companionship? What if the healthy spouse finds a companion outside of the marriage— is that cheating? What if the Alzheimer’s spouse finds a companion in a care community—is that cheating? Many individuals fail to consider the realities of the isolation involved in care relationships created by Alzheimer’s disease that changes the dynamic of a marriage. Who is to say if this is cheating? Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, compassion should be in the hearts of family, children, and friends to support caregivers when the unwelcome visitor of Alzheimer’s arrives and tosses life upside down. It is impossible to imagine the journey of caregiving and unfair to expect a caregiver to live a life of isolation. Seek out social events or senior activities at local wellness centers. Several places may have life-long learning for a small cost or may even be free. The social aspect is not only fun but also encourages those around you.

Think About We are reluctant, naturally, to “give up Assisted Living the house” that we’ve lived in for so many years.

Aging, however presents limitations physically, mentally, and monetarily. Here’s what I mean: We have to maintain the house, cleaning, repairing, replacing worn out appliances, spraying for bugs, and more. As for peace of mind, forget it! We worry about all of the above plus what happens if we injure ourselves, or who can we call if we need help at 2 AM. What about money? We have to pay for insurance, taxes, lawn maintenance, home repairs, pest control, appliance repairs, and more. What about the 80 SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – SUMMER–WINTER 2016

cost of food at the grocery, and all we waste cooking for one or two? That’s why I’m asking you to take another look at the value of assisted living. There’s no maintenance, taxes, insurance, repairs, groceries. There is peace of mind, companionship, activities, great meals, and security. When you “do the math” and see the value of assisted living, you’ll see that it makes good sense (and dollars and cents) too.
