Q&A with addiction counselor and author Brenda J. Iliff, MA Q: Is it true that women are the fastest growing demographic for substance abuse today?

A: Yes. Historically, men have had the higher reported incidence of substance abuse and dependence, but women are closing that gap.

Young women, in particular, have an almost equal percentage of abuse and dependence concerns as young men.

Q: Are women more at risk for developing addiction?

A: While addiction is an equal opportunity disease, it affects women differently. Women become addicted differently, start using for different reasons, progress faster, recover differently, and relapse for different reasons.

Many years ago, the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous told us that women progress faster. Now science is telling us why. It’s purely physiological. The female body processes alcohol, and to a varying extent other chemicals, differently than does the male body. Therefore the brain and other organs are exposed to higher

SeniorsBlueBook.com A•A

concentrations for longer periods.

That’s why one drink for a woman is said to have twice the physical impact as one drink for a man.

Q: What prevents women from getting help?

A: Shame and fear are major barriers.

The stigma attached to addiction can be stronger for women than men. Particularly moms. It’s difficult to seek help and to make that first phone call or tell that first person. It’s even more difficult to get truly honest with oneself.

Sometimes women are diagnosed with a medical condition or mental health concern without being asked about drinking or drug use. Or, if asked, they may deny the problem.

Above all, women need a program that offers real hope. I’ve seen women begin treatment full of shame and despair, with their heads down.

As they progress in recovery, they become shining women of courage and hope for others. The recovery process is truly transformational.

Does your loved one constantly forget items that you know you’ve discussed with them, or is it possible that they didn’t actually hear the message correctly?

New research shows that hearing loss may be mistaken for signs of Alzheimer’s disease or Dementia and it may actually contribute to cognitive problems!

Untreated hearing loss can significantly increase the risk of developing memory problems. CNN reports that “the risk of Dementia RISES as hearing ability DECLINES!” AARP quotes a study from Johns Hopkins that finds that “Men and Women with

Hearing Loss are much more likely to develop Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease!” They further state that “Even mild Hearing Loss DOUBLED the Dementia risk,” and people with severe hearing loss were five times more likely to develop dementia.

If you are over the age of fifty and have not had a Baseline Hearing Test, you should begin monitoring your hearing acuity annually. Hearing tests are provided as a FREE public service

by Hoglund Family Hearing and Audiology Centers, at our Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Estero Clinics, and a FREE Memory Test can be arranged by experts in Cognitive Research!

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Dr. Ann Rasmussen, Au.D., CCC-A, is a top hearing doctor in the field of audiology and was the first approved provider in Naples for Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment.

By venturing out on her own, it gave her the freedom to structure her practice her way: with an office practice as well as offering home visits. This gives her patients the attention they desire.

Rasmussen saw how hectic it is for older patients who juggle multiple doctors’ appointments for various ailments and how driving and physical limitations compound their anxiety. She knew there had to be a better way and decided to start a

mobile hearing program in addition to the office practice. Making house calls to seniors in their home and assisted living facilities was the perfect answer.

Unlike concierge practices where patients pay annual fees, Rasmussen does not charge extra for home visits.

She came to her career with perspective: Her family has a history of hearing deficits including her first child, a daughter was born with hearing loss.

Ann and her husband Brian, a second generation firefighter and whose family has lived in Naples since the 50s, are happily serving those with hearing loss with the personal service they deserve.

Hospice Care: The Myths and Realities One of the challenges that all hospice caregivers face is to help dispel common myths and reassure patients and families about the realities of effective end-of-life care.

factor for hospice care. Hospice care is customized to meet the patient’s individual needs, focusing on comfort and dignity for the patient and support for loved ones.

Consider these mistaken notions about hospice care:

Myth: Hospice care is expensive.

Reality: Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. To be eligible for hospice under Medicare, the patient must be entitled to Part A of Medicare and certified as being terminally ill, with a prognosis of six months or less if the disease runs its course, by the patient’s own physician and a hospice physician.

Myth: Hospice is a place.

Reality: Hospice is not a “place” – it is a philosophy of care that focuses on enhancing people’s comfort and quality of life during their final months of life. Hospice care can be administered at the patient’s home, hospice inpatient units as well as hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living communities or residential care facilities. It includes expert pain management by treating physical symptoms, while providing emotional and spiritual support.

Myth: Hospice means giving up.

Reality: Hospice care is about life, some of the most important moments of life. Hospice aims to make life as comfortable, enjoyable and meaningful as possible. The care is provided by highly skilled, interdisciplinary teams of palliative care experts, including physicians, nurses, home health aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement specialists and volunteers.

Myth: Hospice care is only for the very old.

Reality: People of all ages face death, so age is not a determining

Myth: Hospice is for religious people.

Reality: Hospice serves patients from all cultural backgrounds and faith traditions as well as those who profess they are not connected with a faith community. Spiritual support offered by chaplains is an essential component of holistic healthcare and invaluable for those dealing with end-of-life needs. However, speaking to a chaplain is a patient’s choice.

Since 1978, VITAS Healthcare has helped define and continuously elevate the standards of care for hospice and is committed to helping patients stay at home, or in their preferred setting.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com M•M

Most individuals plan for death, or believe they have been adequately planning for death.

But, very few individuals address the potential that they will become incapacitated. If an individual does not plan ahead for incapacity, the result is often an expensive guardianship where the court and the person’s family has the final say. Every adult person should have valid advanced directives and keep their important personal, health and financial information in a location that is easily accessible by a trusted relative.

A person can potentially avoid guardianship by executing a valid Florida Durable Power of Attorney and Designation of Health Care Surrogate. These documents are called advanced directives and allow the agent designated by the person to make financial or health care decisions on behalf of that person.

Florida Durable Power of Attorney

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Planning for Incapacity laws changed in 2011. Anyone who is new to Florida or hasn’t updated their documents in a long time, should at least get their documents reviewed by a Florida licensed elder law attorney. Often times a person has executed a durable power of attorney after 2011, but it didn’t have Florida’s required “super powers” which can prohibit an agent from being able to engage in certain long term care planning strategies.

A veteran’s discharge papers do the veteran no good, if the veteran is incapacitated and the family can’t access the document. A person should keep a copy of their Medicare supplement or health insurance information, photo identification, most recent social security statement, pre-paid burial plots, life insurance statement, investment statements, retirement accounts and bank statements in a location that can be accessed by your agent named in the durable power of attorney.

Senior Move Managers assist adults to remain in their current homes, or to move to new ones. Good Moves, Inc. specializes in the emotional and physical aspects of sorting through a lifetime of memories.

You may not need to move. With time, homes often become cluttered and unsafe. To avoid an unneeded move, Good Moves, Inc. helps downsize, de-clutter, and organize.

SAFETY is always first, and moving when you want to move is much better than when you must. Develop a floor plan for what your home will look like when you’re done. If you are moving from a 1,500-square-foot

home now, it’s not all going to fit in a 900-square-foot apartment. DO NOT wait until you get there to decide what will fit.

Enlist friends and family members who are energetic and physically able to get boxes down from the top shelves.

Start in an area that is used the least, such as a back closet or a spare bedroom. Box up what you want the kids to have and send it to them. Now. If you get started on your own and it becomes too much, call Good Moves, Inc.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com S•S

What sets Cypress Point apart from the other assisted living, memory support and shortterm respite care communities in Fort Myers? That’s easy.

Residents enjoy the convenience of all-day dining, a holistic wellness program, and customized, on-site health services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Plus, the financial flexibility and peace of mind that comes from all-inclusive rates, no entry fees and a month-to-month rental structure.

Owned by Omega Communities and located adjacent to the CenturyLink Sports Complex, Cypress Point is setting the stage for a new approach to senior living in the Fort Myers area.

The community features 134 brandnew, beautifully appointed residences: 96 assisted living and 38 memory support apartments. Residents have access to a wide range of services, amenities and programs designed with a focus on whole-person wellness. And with the all-day dining service featuring restaurant-style meals prepared by an on-site culinary team, assisted living residents can dine at their leisure.

Assisted living at Cypress Point blends independence and personalized support so residents can maintain their way of life while receiving a helping hand. Whether it’s assis-

tance with daily living such as bathing, grooming, dressing and medication management, professional care is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each assisted living neighborhood features its own central living room – offering plenty of room to enjoy the company of neighbors and staff. And with Cypress Points’ own holistic wellness program, Masterful Moments, residents can shape the community’s lifestyle and personality through their individual interests, experiences and preferences.

For those dealing with memory challenges, the staff provide unsurpassed care and a stimulating environment to help residents flourish. This dedication to care is based on the nationally recognized Best Friends™ Approach to Alzheimer’s to ensure residents feel secure and valued. Staff learn each resident’s life story, talents, interests and preferences, to create an individualized care plan using reminiscence tools to capture and preserve special memories. This creates a more person-centered approach to care with activities and programs that are fulfilling, and provide a true sense of purpose and belonging.

We’ve always had a passion for belonging to a community and serving in a capacity where our efforts will improve the experience for others.

You’ll notice a big difference in Caliber Patient Care when comparing us to other transport companies. Our entire staff is trained in CPR and First Aid, while many are certified EMTs, and each undergoes a battery of background checks and defensive driving training before they ever get behind the wheel. Our uniformed drivers are also monitored daily, coached frequently and get regular refresher training on driving skills and people skills to ensure they are at their best

when you come onboard. We provide one-to-one rides, so you’re ensured of getting to your appointment on-time and not waiting long when your appointment ends and you’re ready to go home. Our fleet of customized vans are new models with low mileage, maintained regularly and able to transport wheelchairs, scooters, stretchers as well as ambulatory passengers in air-conditioned comfort.

At Caliber we say “Compassion Drives Us” and we’re confident you will see it in the comfortable ride you get, with an experienced, safe, qualified team. We’re thrilled to be here in Southwest Florida, serving our community, from bedside-todoctorside.

The Senior Companion Program provides volunteer opportunities for people age 55 and older. They serve frail elderly individuals, especially those who are homebound and generally living alone, as well as providing respite care to relieve live-in caretakers for short periods of time. Volunteers taking care of simple chores, running errands, and offering a connection with the outside world are often the essential services that keep the elderly from premature institutionalization.

COVER STORY - GOLDEN CARE Left to Right: Christopher Melley, CEO and Founder, Stephanie Webley, Director of Operations, Adam Corcoran, Director of Business Development.

No Place Like Home Statistics show that approximately 90% of seniors would prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home as they age.

This is no different for Ms. Lynda Chase of Naples, Florida. Lynda worked hard her entire career to be able to age in place at her residence in the Vineyards Community. After years of collecting unique antiques and creating personalized artwork for her home, she decided that there really is no place like home.

As Lynda aged, her and her family knew there would be a point where she would need some support to maintain her independence as long as possible. She turned to Golden Care as her trusted home care provider to assist her 124 COLLIER & LEE COUNTIES – FALL/WINTER 2017

during her time of need. By being proactive about her care needs, she developed a plan of action to have support before a major crisis like a hospitalization or fall.

“Having a plan in place before a crisis matter is an overall better situation for everyone. By building a relationship with Golden Care we are here for our seniors and their families every step of the way. It’s never too early to put a plan in place”, says Chris Melley, Founder and CEO of Golden Care Lynda is maintaining her independence with supplemental care through Golden Care’s services. Her and her family have seen noticeable progress to her health, eating habits, and social interaction. All in all, home care services enhanced her quality of life while giving peace of mind to her family knowing that she is in good hands.

“After meeting the staff at Golden

assistance walking, bathroom assistance, light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, medication reminders, grocery shopping, errands, companionship, engagement and socialization activities, transportation services and more.

By having no required minimum of hours, you can utilize Golden Care’s services from a couple hours a week to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Their approach of Personalized Caregiving allows seniors to develop a plan that fits their needs and schedule.

As a home health agency, Golden Care’s CNAs and HHA’s are employees, not independent contractors. Each employee goes through a rigorous process of background checks, drug screening, reference checks, CPR certified, skills training and they must demonstrate their competencies with their Director of Nursing.

COVER STORY - GOLDEN CARE

Care, I knew I had found the right people to take care of my mother.

Within the last month, I have really noticed a difference in her and she is beginning to be herself again.

She’s is walking over an hour a day, her appetite has improved, her spirits are very high, she’s beginning to smile and feel like a human being again. All I can say is if you need some assistance Golden Care is the company to turn to.” Says Kimberley, Lynda Chase’s daughter.

Golden Care is a company where the genuine care and comfort of their clients is their highest mission. They pledge to provide the finest level of home care to their clients. The Golden Care experience enhances the quality of life of their clients, instills well-being, and fulfills even the unexpressed wishes and needs of their clients.

Golden Care provides a wide range of non-medical care including: personal care, bathing, dressing,

I

am Suzanne Schmachtenberg, the founder of HCP (Home Care Preferred). We are excited to share with you our personal journey that lead to the formation of our family run business.

After 25 years in a H.R. executive role I was finally enjoying my life of retirement in sunny FL playing golf, tennis & boating. Then one day, I received a disturbing call from the assisted living facility that my in-laws resided in. The facility had made the decision to separate them due to my father-in-law’s severe dementia. The process was to move him to a secured area. My husband and I could not imagine separating them after 60 years of marriage so we moved them closer to us. We hired caregivers 24/7 to assist them and they loved the personal care!

My next calling was from my brother-in-law. My sister had an aneurysm and was fighting for her life. After brain surgery, she remained in critical condition and on life support for weeks followed by intense rehabilitation. Again, coming out of retirement, I cared for her for three months until she returned home, fully recovered.

Shortly thereafter, my nephew called on me to come offer family support and end-of-life care to my beloved brother. The diagnosis was esophageal cancer. My brother was dying. With the support of myself and his family, my brother was able to pass in his home surrounded by loved ones.

The years of caregiving continued. I began to feel that this was my calling. It was then that my daughters and I, who all have medical backgrounds, decided to open a home health care service to help others.

Ashley Green, my honorary daughter, has her Masters in Health Care Administration and is currently a Captain in Army Reserves Medical Unit. Heather Blackburn is an RN with Clinical Education and Development experience.

Ashley Crandall was a respiratory therapist for 9 years in the Army and over 10 years of Corporate Finance experience. My husband, Lee Schmachtenberg is our CFO and Attorney. Lee has 35 years of experience in Elder Law, Estate Planning, and Real Estate. He is also a former JAG officer and served as Commander of an American Legion Post.

Our passionate team has knowledge, skills and abilities that are incomparable. Our unbridled enthusiasm to be the best makes us the ideal choice when premier home care is preferred.

How to Get Out of the Hospital Without Getting Stressed

By Marisol De Los Santos & Kamaara Lucas

Being discharged from the hospital is a whirlwind of emotions. You’re excited to be going home and getting back to your friends and family.

At the same time, you’re given a list of medications, rules, follow-ups and people to contact. How do you keep up?

A Registered Nurse, Jackie Drake, RN, BSN, CMC shares that even a health professional can find confusion, stating “I had several cases where clients were discharged with new prescriptions, but there was no clear indication whether or not they were to continue their previous prescribed medications. We had to call the doctor to clarify orders.”

Avoid problem when you get home: Healthcare experts are working to do a better job of educating patients and caregivers about what to do when they go home. They are working harder to connect them with primary and social support services. The most important thing you can do to ensure you do not end back in the hospital is follow the instructions of the professionals. A few other tips include: • Have your prescriptions filled as soon as you leave the hospital and always take your medications as directed, even if you feel better.

• Remember that your discharge instructions should list follow-up appointments that have been scheduled for you.

• If you begin to feel ill, call your

148 COLLIER & LEE COUNTIES – FALL/WINTER 2017

doctor immediately – never wait for your appointment.

• Consider hiring a professional home care company, especially if your loved one has more than one chronic condition.

Do I need professional home care?

Patients who have multiple conditions or have had more than two hospital stays in the same year should hire a Care Manager. Care Managers improve the quality of life of the chronically ill by: • Accessing and coordinating resources and services • Advocating for patients personal needs and offering health education • Identifying problems causing hospitalizations or emergency room visits A different kind of home care SeniorBridge is a national healthcare company that provides care management and caregiving for people with complex care needs. Founded in 2000, they use an integrated model of care providing care advice and coordination and caregiving to address the entire well-being of clients and their families. SeniorBridge’s services are especially beneficial for people with chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, congestive heart failure (CHF), Parkinson’s disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADLs): Define the personal care services available in assisted living and include bathing, dressing, grooming, bathroom assistance, eating and ambulation. Medication Administration and transferring are not ADLs but are factors in determining a person’s level of functioning.

ADULT DAY STAY PROGRAMS: There are two general types of adult day care programs. One is based on a medical model and the other on a social model. The medical model provides comprehensive medical, therapeutic, and rehabilitation day treatment. The social model offers supervised activities, peer support, companionship, and recreation. Both models assist older adults and those with chronic conditions to remain as independent as possible, for as long as possible.

ASSISTED LIVING: Florida providers must be licensed with a Standard Assisted Living Facility License. Two additional licenses: the Limited Nursing Service (LNS) and the Extended Congregate Care (ECC) allow providers to deliver some skilled nursing services and more personal care. Communities are typically apartment-style with kitchenettes and private baths. Some offer companion accommodations.

Amenities vary. Services include

162 COLLIER & LEE COUNTIES – FALL/WINTER 2017

meal plans, cable television, local phone, housekeeping, laundry, maintenance and transportation.

Also provided is personal assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

Payor sources usually accepted are private pay, and some insurance.

CCRC/LIFECARE: Continuing Care Retirement Community otherwise known as Life Care, offers a campusstyle environment that may include villas, apartments or condos, assisted living and skilled nursing services. A large endowment fee is usually required that entitles residents to use assisted or skilled services when needed throughout their lifetime. Residents “purchase” their villa or condo and then pay monthly maintenance fees. Payor sources accepted are private pay in villas/apartments/condos and some insurance plans in AL. See SNF for payor sources.

EXTENDED CONGREGATE CARE (ECC) – An ALF with this license can provide extended congregate care services. An ALF with ECC beds may keep residents who become frailer than would normally be permitted in order for the resident to age in place.

For example the facility can provide total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, and can provide or arrange for rehabilitative services, along with other services.

However, this does not include 24hour nursing services.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

MANAGED CARE: Any system that manages health care delivery that acts as a gatekeeper for other services, such as specialized medical care, surgery, and physical therapy.

LIMITED NURSING SERVICES (LNS) - An ALF with this license offers some limited nursing services as defined by law, but does not include 24-hour nursing supervision.

MEMORY CARE: These communities are either licensed assisted living facilities that specialize in delivering care to victims of dementia or a unit of a skilled nursing facility. The same licensure rules apply. 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 for the special needs of this population. 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/point system for care.

SHORT TERM/RESPITE CARE: Circumstances require a caregiver to seek temporary senior housing for your loved one. Knowing they can move seamlessly into an emergency care environment that supports the wellness needs of seniors allows peace of mind when you are called away for business or vacation, or if you just need a short break from caregiving.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

INDEPENDENT LIVING: Housing designed specifically for the elderly. Typically Studio, 1 BR or 2 BR rental apartments with full kitchens, and private baths. Services include meal plans, transportation, wellness clinics, housekeeping, laundry and maintenance. These communities are NOT licensed to provide personal/nursing care.

SeniorsBlueBook.com

SKILLED NURSING FACILITY (SNF): This level of care is typically found in a nursing center or a transitional care unit in a hospital.

Daily rates typically include a furnished bedroom & a private or shared bath, meals, activities, transportation, phone service, cable television and all personal/nursing care. Payor sources usually accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, VA, some insurance plans & private sources.

STATEWIDE MEDICAID LONG TERM CARE: Long-term Care Program.

There are two different programs that make up the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care: The Long-term Care (LTC) and Managed Care Program (MMA).Medicaid recipients who qualify and become enrolled in the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care.

COLLIER COUNTY HONOR FLIGHT

Collier County Honor Flight’s mission is to transport local Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices.

Support for these trips is provided by volunteers and is at no cost to the veterans. Top priority is given to our most senior heroes – survivors of WWII and any veteran with a terminal illness who wishes to visit their memorial.

Trips are simply not possible without public support.

Prior to the Honor Flight Network, many veterans had given up all hope of ever seeing the World War II Memorial.

This is our very small way of saying, “thank you.”

LIVING AN ENGAGED AND ENRICHED LIFE!

Jean has found this care at Aston Gardens At Pelican Marsh in Naples, Jean Butler which offers her the assisted living care she needs and the flexibility to do the things she likes. Her career in the medical industry has Jean well in tune with staying healthy, particularly as she ages.

“I’m 86 years old and I don’t have any health issues, but I’m quite the health nut,” she says, “I count my blessings every day.”

ASTON GARDENS AT PELICAN MARSH

!

ne zi

A native of New Hampshire, Jean Butler discovered Florida living thanks to her career as a registered nurse. Jean spent her working years focused on providing the very best care for her patients and helped them do the little things we take for granted but can’t live comfortably without. Now, at age 86, she figures it’s time for someone to care for her.

One of her biggest activities at Aston Gardens At Pelican Marsh is one of the community’s best offerings - lots and lots of exercise classes. By exercising regularly, Jean is lowering her chance of encountering heart disease, making her muscles stronger, and improving her balance to lower the risk of a fall. Her pool exercise classes are even smarter. They allow her to burn calories and build endurance without the heavy impact of stepping, walking, or running on her feet. When she’s not exercising, Jean is taking advantage of all the other amenities provided by Aston Gardens to make her life complete and full of activities. “I can’t say anything better about it, I’m happy here,” Jean states.

Resident Spotlight

For resident Gerry Cabot, life at The Carlisle Naples is easy.

He and his wife, Ellen, moved to the active retirement community nearly 1½ years ago.

“If one of the keys to longevity is socialization, living at The Carlisle makes this easy,” said the 92 year old.

“Since moving here, we’ve made nice friends. I like the friendliness of my neighbors.”

In addition to spending time with fellow residents, Mr. Cabot enjoys frequent visits from family who stay in The Calisle’s guest suites and take advantage of the community’s fivestar amenities.

“The suites are beautiful, less expensive than a hotel and they include two meals a day,” said Mr. Cabot’s son, Gerry, Jr. “We don’t have to leave the community to enjoy a nice dinner together. It’s like a resort; no one has to cook or clean.”

The Cabots say that since moving to The Carlisle, they now have more

THE CARLISLE

The Carlisle, a luxury, resort-style senior living community in North Naples, offers both Independent and Assisted Living.

Available on a monthly fee basis, the ECC-licensed and CARFaccredited community boasts a full range of services and amenities including 12-hour restaurant dining, housekeeping, transportation and activities. The Carlisle is located on AirportPulling Road, between Pine Ridge and Immokalee Roads.

time to spend with family and participate in other activities.

“We rarely went to the movies,” he said. “Now, we take advantage of the evening movies. Plus, there is live entertainment. Every day, there are so many things to do. We may not participate in everything but it’s nice knowing they are available.”

Mr. Cabot, who participated in 27 bombing missions over Germany and contributed to the liberation of France from the Nazis, was officially thanked for his service by the French government and awarded the French Foreign Legion of Honor, technically making him a “Sir.” A nature lover, he’s also especially fond of The Carlisle’s setting. “It’s nice to sit on our lanai which has beautiful views of the lake and watch the egrets or turtles,” he said. “It’s very calming and peaceful. You feel you’re in close proximity to nature.”

ARDEN COURTS MEMORY CARE COMMUNITY

A Daughters Touching Story of Top Notch Care program, Dad had grown very comfortable with the staff and surroundings at Arden Courts and looked forward to participating in the many activities they have to offer. This made for a smooth transition when Dad became a full-time resident in November of 2015.

He was able to stay at Arden Courts, with the help of Hos- staff and even maintenance. In my opinion, another distinctive that sets pice, to the very end of his life.

SPRINGWOOD COURT

Bloom Where You Are Planted – at Springwood Court Dorothy Randall’s upbeat attitude and humor is well known and admired among residents of Springwood Court, Five-Star Senior Living Community in Fort Myers.

“I believe you bloom where you’re planted,” says Dorothy. “After I lost my husband, two sisters and a brother, I was depressed and needed to keep my mind busy and stay active. So, I went to clown school with two friends.”

The clowning threesome performed skits in assisted living communities and nursing homes.

Cheering up others helped Dorothy feel uplifted, too.

“I like people,” she says, “Sometimes I wear my clown outfit to the dining room here just to get a laugh.

We had fun doing our skits for people in the nursing homes. Sometimes we went by the names ‘Wrinkles and Crinkles.’ The ballerina skit to the song ‘Send in the Clowns’ is popular. And I took tap dancing so I could be a Seven Springs Rockette.”

A compassionate person, Dorothy reaches out to someone who looks a little sad or lonely and asks that person to babysit one of her singing teddy bears. Each teddy bear is elegantly dressed and blessed with the ability to deliver a song with the voice of a great singer, like

204 COLLIER & LEE COUNTIES – FALL/WINTER 2017

Bing Crosby or Doris Day. “Everybody loves those bears,” says Dorothy.

Executive Director Frances Gray adds, “Dorothy is a lot of fun. She is so positive.”

Dorothy was born and raised in West Virginia and joined the Air Force where she worked as a recruiter. She and her husband both went to Ohio University on the GI Bill and raised their family in Ohio. They retired in Fort Myers and one daughter lives nearby, “right across the fence,” Dorothy says. The other daughter and two sons live up north; they call and visit as often as possible. In addition to having her daughter nearby, Dorothy enjoys living near shopping and entertainment venues.

“Springwood Court is a pleasant environment,” says Dorothy. “The food is very good, I like playing BINGO and Rummikubs — which is good for your mind.”

Popular group activities include Zumba, Chair Yoga, Wii bowling and shuffleboard. Baseball games, shopping, and concerts are favorite outings.

In Praise of Small. . .

The Benefits of Relationship-based Care at Cairn Park Memory Care Who is on with her today? This was always the first question my sister and I had when discussing our mom’s care at her first memory care facility.

The degree of peace of mind I felt on a given day was determined by that day’s staff member, something over which I had no control. I still recall the anxious dread I felt in the pit of my stomach from not knowing.

Don’t get me wrong, the first assisted living facility was a good facility but because of its large size

Looking back at our experience, I know now that providing a home is far different from trying to create a home-like environment within a large facility. I relate it to staying in a nice hotel, it’s attractive, and it’s comfortable; it may even be luxurious, but it is not home.

When you’re caring for residents and their families, knowing how to create therapeutic relationships can mean the difference between a resident and family feeling held in care, or feeling dropped at a time of

After repeated problems we took the plunge and moved mom to Cairn Park, and now I am truly “sold on small.” and number of residents, there were constant changes of staff. Some staff members cared, others showed only superficial concern, and others simply did not care. This is a story I have heard repeated by so many friends when they discuss their loved one’s care at larger facilities.

After repeated problems we took the plunge and moved mom to Cairn Park, and now I am truly “sold on small.” With only 5 or 6 residents, Cairn Park’s homes in Fort Myers and Cape Coral provide the personal touch and emotional support we needed. While the homes are small, the quality and the expertise of the staff are outstanding. Everyone was committed to our mom’s well-being.

vulnerability and fear.

Small home environments enable caregivers to focus on caring for the whole person, body, mind and spirit and appreciating the uniqueness of each person. Mom’s caregivers showed genuine interest in her. They grew to love her and she them (I must point out that mom was not the easiest person to be around, often demonstrating difficult behaviors). To the day she died, peacefully in Cairn Park, her home, I felt that mom was in a safe place where she felt loved, accepted and held in dignity and respect.
