Brain Fitness:

Card Games

t is important to stay active and keep our bodies fit as we age. However, it is often forgotten that this principle applies to our minds as well. As a caregiver, there is a simple way to help your loved one keep their mind sharp: play games. Research has shown that playing card games and working on puzzles can lead to improved cognitive function in seniors, helping them to retain mental sharpness. Furthermore, “evidence suggests that people who spend long stretches of their days, three hours and more, engrossed in some mental activities like cards may be at reduced risk of developing dementia,” reported the New York Times. Card games, puzzles, and board games all provide older adults with entertainment while giving the brain a mental workout. Games such as concentration can also be used to help prevent memory loss. Research suggests that challenging the mind keeps brain cells healthy and therefore less prone to damage, reported CBS News. Socialization is another key benefit games offer seniors. Engaging your loved one in a round of cribbage or helping him or her with a jigsaw puzzle is great way to spend time together, while also stimulating the mind. Organize a weekly or monthly game night, and try classic games such as bridge, cribbage, backgammon, rummy, or Scrabble. Seniors can also exercise their minds alone with crossword puzzles, word searches, Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles, or by playing solitaire. As the old adage goes – use it or lose it. Help your loved one stay mentally sharp – and get ahead of the game yourself – with something as simple as a game of cards. 16

Aging In Place

How To Age Comfortably In Your Home

By Eric Hansen, HealthLink Construction

Many people think ahead to the future with the same single thought – “I’m going to stay in my home forever,” or “I will never go to a nursing home or other alternative type of senior housing.” However, few people ask the question “How accommodating will my home be as I grow older?” The truth is that most homes are designed for healthy, active adults; not for accommodating the needs of aging occupants. However, with the right plan, most homes can become safe and accessible for occupants of any age. The remodeling of a home can be unnecessarily stressful. When remodeling for accessibility, the question is not only “What do I want?” More importantly, it is “What do I need?” The right approach in the planning stage will help alleviate the potential for costly mistakes and help to insure that you achieve the desired outcome. It is best to take the time up front to fully assess your current needs and to prepare for what you feel your needs will be in the future. Every successful project needs a good blueprint and a good blueprint starts with thoughtful answers to serious questions. Start by considering the concerns and challenges of today. Vision, hearing, walking, weakness and lack of agility are common issues for an aging adult. Are these problems temporary, on-going or urgent? What does your family history tell you? Do you need assistance or assistive equipment? Do you want to stay in your own home permanently or do you see a time when you will feel happier and more secure in an Assisted Living Facility or Group Home? Are doorways and hallways wide enough for a wheelchair or walker? Are interior stairs becoming obstacles? Continued on next page Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide when contacting our advertisers!

Continued from previous page

What changes or modifications do you see as necessary now or in the future in order to stay in your own home? These are tough questions and are all too often put off until there has been a sudden, life changing event which brings them to the center of attention and requiring immediate action. However, like a good insurance policy, a little planning now will pay huge dividends in the future. One of the most common safety improvement areas in the home is the bathroom. If you are planning a remodel, have the contractor add blocking in the walls to install grab bars in the future. If you need grab bars now and don’t have blocking to screw into, use a fastener designed specifically for installing grab bars without blocking such as those made by WingIt Innovations. A simple, affordable, and often overlooked solution in the bathroom is a bathtub modification. The TubcuT™ modification converts a bathtub to a walk-in shower in less than a day and at a fraction of the cost involved with replacing a bathtub with a traditional walk-in shower. Another common limitation in most homes is the width of bathroom and closet doors. These are the narrowest doors in the home and frequently will not accommodate wheelchairs. Some doors, especially in master bathrooms with toilets having their own small closet-like space, are so narrow that they are difficult even for walkers. If you are planning for ultimately having in-home healthcare assistance, these doors may need to be widened to accommodate wheel chairs, walkers, or to create an environment that is accessible for the occupant and a caregiver providing assistance. These are just a few of the simple, yet specialized modifications that can be done in the home to make it a safer, more accessible place to age gracefully. When you are ready to make home modifications such as grab bars, walk-in showers, leaning rails, or wheel chair ramps, be sure to use a contractor who understands your needs and has the knowledge and experience to do the job right. The National Association of Home Builders, in association with AARP has created a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) designation. CAPS certified contractors can be found at www.NAHB.org. Staying in your home has many benefits – the greatest of which is maintaining your independence – and the best way to assure that independence is to start early. Basic home modifications are generally not a great expense and, with a plan in place, your future needs can be addressed before they become urgent. 34

Senior Housing What is the best choice?

t can be hard deciding when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to explore a new living situation for a loved one. When everyday tasks such as cooking or maintaining a house appear to be burdensome, or signs of loneliness become prevalent, it may be time to consider other options. So, where do you go from here? Consider hiring a geriatric care manager (GCM) who is experienced in the different levels of senior care and can assist you with choosing the right one matched to your specific needs. They are usually familiar with local options including their associated costs and can be instrumental in helping determine the types of services your loved one may need. Most GCMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charge a fee so be sure to get references and fee information before hiring one. If you are prepared to do the research yourself, then the first step is to become educated on what options and choices are available. From there, you can begin to locate places in your area to find one that meets your specific needs and criteria. There are five major housing options to consider: living with a family member or friend, independent retirement communities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, or continued care retirement communities.

Moving in with a family member or friend is an ideal option when it is convenient for both parties. This option allows seniors to remain in a comfortable environment and maintain social relationships. Living with family can often be the most affordable, as well. Home care providers should also be considered as part of this option. Home care services assist caregivers by providing specialized non-medical care as well as Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide when contacting our advertisers!

create respite opportunities for caregivers, all of which allow a senior maximum freedom. Not to be confused with home health companies who provide medical home care assistance. Be sure to look for those organizations that provide the type and level of care that is needed.

Independent retirement communities are housing options specifically designed for active aging adults who need no assistance. This can range from apartments to townhouses and single family homes. This housing option gives seniors maximum independence. Retirement communities generally provide opportunities for socialization, such as a localized clubhouse or game nights. They are ideal for independent seniors looking to retire near people their own age and retain their social lives. However, communities are not a viable option for those who need help with everyday tasks, such as cooking or cleaning.

Assisted living facilities provide a low level of care for those who need additional help, but still wish to remain independent. Most are residence hall style with single or double rooms. However, housing options vary depending on the location and can range from a single room to an individual apartment, some with kitchens. Help with tasks such as dressing, bathing and cleaning is provided, and additional help is available around the clock. In general, most places provide three meals per day, transportation, 24-hour security, medication management and social activities. Be sure to ask each facility which services they provide. Assisted living facilities are usually not covered by insurance and most families use private pay options such as personal savings, pensions or social security to cover the costs. Because this option can be expensive, it is important to check your budget and make sure you or your parent can handle the cost long-term.

Skilled nursing homes provide the highest level of care available. Unlike assisted living facilities, they maintain constant care, with a physician or trained nurse on call at all times. Skilled nursing facilities include residence hall style housing, three meals per day, and help with dressing, bathing, eating and managing medications. Most will also provide recreational activities for their residents as well. 80

This housing option is ideal for those who can no longer live independently and need 24 hour care. Many also offer temporary stay options for those who need constant care after hospitalization and wish to regain their independence postrecovery. Temporary nursing home stays are often covered by Medicare, but longterm or permanent stays are not.

“

Continued care retirement communities, also known

Be sure to as CCRCs, provide increasing levels of care as needs look for those change. These communities are equipped for all levels of care, from completely independent housing options to organizations constant care options. Seniors can live independently at the that provide outset and transition into minimal care options or nursing the type and care as their needs change. A major benefit is that your loved ones do not have to keep moving as their condition level of care changes. Although cost plays a large factor with this option, that is needed. it creates a stable environment for retiring and allows

seniors to form and maintain social relationships.

Overall, choosing to transition your loved one into a different living environment is a big decision with many factors to consider. It is important to honestly asses your loved one’s financial situation, their current care needs and how those factors may change in the next five to 10 years.

What Level of Care is right for you? * Retirement Housing Apartment-like facilities that include living essentials such as meals and transportation. These often include facilities for various activities.

Assisted Living These facilities are set up to provide residents help with daily activities and also usually offer some level of healthcare services.

Residential Care Non-apartment facilities that provide assistance for residents with medication, hygiene, and simple tasks such as getting dressed. Typically a home setting.

Skilled Nursing/Rehab

Alzheimer’s/Dementia Assistance Alzheimer’s facilities provide special programs and assistance for those with memory loss. Some may provide special security measures to prevent residents from wandering off during periods of disorientation.

Respite Care Facilities that provide Respite Care offer family and other caretakers a reprieve from the stress and work of everyday care of elderly persons who cannot perform or manage care for themselves.

Home Care Various types of at-home care, both medical and non-medical, that allow seniors to remain in their place of residence rather than having to travel back and forth or be admitted to a medical facility. A cost-effective alternative to hospital stays or Skilled Nursing facilities.

HOUSING: INFORMATION

These facilities are licensed and equipped to provide residents with healthcare that meets the needs of more involved medical problems.

Senior Day Care Facilities that provide for the needs of seniors during daytime hours only. Services typically include meals, social interaction, arts/crafts/entertainment, and stretching/gentle exercise. Centers often accommodate seniors with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. Day care allows family to go to work or a much needed rest.

Hospice Care End of life care for the terminally ill, usually via visits in the home or facility of residence. Focus lies with pain management, comfort, and emotional support for the individual and family.

Care Management Care managers examine their clients’ needs and make recommendations regarding Home Care providers, the best type of housing for the individual, and other aspects of care that can be daunting for a senior or their family. These recommendations are orchestrated into a comprehensive plan of care. * Heading color corresponds to the section in which listings and advertisers may be found.

Fees charged for copies of birth and death certificates by the different county offices may vary slightly – contact your local office about cost for copies of Birth and Death Certificates. Certified copies of the birth and death certificates are issued with a state seal and are printed on security paper. Heirloom birth certificates have a different cost and are printed on special paper that boasts a design celebrating Texas. The heirloom certificate ($60) is only offered through Austin, Texas. Funeral homes will supply certified copies of a death certificate for a small fee if requested at the time funeral arrangements are made. It is recommended that you get at least twelve copies of the certificate and notify anyone with whom the deceased had an account. Verification of Birth and Death The verification of a birth or death record is NOT a certified copy of the birth or death certificate, but a letter with the person’s name, date of occurrence, county where the birth or death took place and a state file number. Letters may not be available at all birth and death registrars. Verifications are available from 1903 to the present date. Fees for birth and death verification (for regular mail or walk-in service) range from $22–$30. This fee is non-refundable for records that are not located. Additional fees will apply for faxing and overnight services.

Texas Law dictates that both birth and death certificates are deemed confidential for a set period of time. Birth certificates Deceased Identity Theft are confidential for 75 years, and death certificates are confidential for 25 years To avoid identity theft of a deceased person, after the death has occurred.

Hospice

What You need to Know and Where to Call How Does Hospice Work? • Hospice care is for any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness. Most reimbursement sources require a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients with both cancer and non-cancer illnesses are eligible to receive hospice care. All hospices consider the patient and family together as the unit of care. • The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or the homes of a loved one. “Home” may also be broadly construed to include services provided in nursing homes, hospitals and prisons. • Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and, when appropriate, helps make decisions for the terminally ill individual. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is oncall 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Who is the Hospice Team? • Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes, at a minimum, a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers. They work together focusing on the dying patient’s needs; physical, psychological, or spiritual. The goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible, with loved ones nearby until death. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient’s individual needs for pain management and symptom control. How is Hospice Paid for? • Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and most private insurers. If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided.

FINAL PLANNING

Who is Eligible for Medicare Hospice Benefits? Hospice care is covered under Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance). You are eligible for Medicare hospice benefits when you meet all of the following conditions: • You are eligible for Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance), and • Your doctor and the hospice medical director certify that you are terminally ill and probably have less than six months to live, and • You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare covered benefits for your terminal illness,* and • You receive care from a Medicare-approved hospice program. Please note: Medicare will still pay for covered benefits for any health problems that aren’t related to your terminal illness. What Does Medicare Cover? Medicare covers these hospice services and pays nearly all of their costs: • Doctor services • Nursing care • Medical equipment (like wheelchairs or walkers) • Medical supplies (like bandages and catheters) • Drugs for symptom control and pain relief • Short-term care in the hospital, including respite and inpatient for pain and symptom management • Home health aide and homemaker services • Physical and occupational therapy • Speech therapy • Social work services • Dietary counseling • Grief support to help you and your family Please note: You will only have to pay part of the cost for outpatient drugs and inpatient respite care. Respite Care and Medicare? Respite care is care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest. As a hospice patient, you may have one person who takes care of you every day, like a family member. Sometimes your caregiver needs someone to take care of you for a short time while they do other things that need to be done. During a period of respite care, you will be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice residential facility, hospital, or nursing home. The Medicare Hospice Benefit Does Not Cover the Following: Treatment intended to cure your terminal illness – As a hospice patient, you will receive comfort care to help manage symptoms related to your illness. Comfort care includes medications for symptom control and pain relief, physical care, counseling, and other hospice services. Medications not directly related to your hospice diagnosis are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit.

143

Hospice . . . . . . .... Continued Hospice team members will consult with the hospice physician and will inform you and your family which drugs and/or medications are covered and which ones are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit. The Hospice uses medicine, equipment, and supplies to make you as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Under the hospice benefit, Medicare won’t pay for treatment to cure your illness. You should talk with your doctor if you are thinking about potential treatment to cure your illness. As a hospice patient, you always have the right to stop getting hospice care and receive the “traditional” Medicare coverage you had before electing hospice. Care from another provider that is the same care that you are getting from your hospice – All care that you receive for your illness must be given by your hospice team. You can’t get the same type of care from a different provider unless you change your hospice provider. Nursing Home Room and Board – Room and board aren’t covered by Medicare. You may receive hospice services wherever you live, even in a nursing home, however, the Medicare Hospice Benefit does not pay for nursing home room and board.

FINAL PLANNING

How Do I Begin Receiving Hospice? Anyone can inquire about hospice services. You or your loved one may call a local hospice and request services. The hospice staff will then contact your physician to determine if a referral to hospice is appropriate. Another way to inquire about hospice is to talk with your physician, and he or she can make a referral to hospice. Hospice can begin as soon as a ‘referral’ is made by the person’s doctor. Questions to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Program Hospice care is a philosophy of care that accepts dying as a natural part of life. When death is inevitable, hospice seeks neither to hasten nor postpone it. Below is a list of questions you should consider when looking for a hospice program. • What services are provided? • What kind of support is available to the family/caregiver? • What roles do the attending physician and hospice play? • What does the hospice volunteer do? • How does hospice work to keep the patient comfortable? • How are services provided after hours? • How and where does hospice provide short-term inpatient care? • Can hospice be brought into a nursing home or long-term care facility?

Angel Flight South Central has been providing free air transportation for more than twenty years for people in need of medical treatment not available to them locally. Our pilots have taken to the skies more than 30,000 times on behalf of people in need and have contributed more than $30 million of their own dollars through the operating costs of their aircraft. Our vision is that no one in our service area is denied medical treatment simply because of distance.
