15 Ways

to Add Curb Appeal to Your Home 1. Accent a bay window by adding window panels below the opening. 2. Add classic crown or fascia dentil molding beneath gutters and eaves to heighten the appearance of your home. 3. If you have a ceiling fan on a front porch, add a two-piece ceiling medallion around the fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base to add style to your entire porch. 4. Replace older, rotting wooden louvers with low-maintenance polyurethane louvers. 5. Upgrade the look of your entryway by adding a new brass kick plate and polishing your door hardware. 6. Flank your windows with easy-care polyurethane shutters. 7. Add sparkle to your yard with a decorative lamp post that can help light up the night. 8. Give your house style by adding brackets under roof eaves and on porches. 9. If your home has a Victorian style, use spires to accent exterior areas, fencing and gated areas of the home. 10. Accent your exterior with a new, colorful welcome mat, decorative flags, planter boxes and baskets of flowers. 11. Add dimension to porch ceilings with faux beams. 12. Since the pineapple is the universal sign of hospitality, add a decorative half-round or full round pineapple accent piece in the entryway to your home. 13. Add a trellis system to top off a garage door or side entry door. 14. Add brackets and corbels to side entry areas of the home to bring attention to this area of the house. 15. Cover up unsightly wooden posts with a PVC Column Wrap. Courtesy of Fypon | fypon.com

Must-Have Legal Documents by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

hether you’re a caregiver or interested in getting your own business in order, we’ve identified five recommended legal documents that every adult should have. There are many online resources that explain in further detail about each document. If you have an attorney, be sure to ask about these documents or there are online resources that provide a free template for you to create your own. Don’t wait until it’s too late—take a moment to get organized.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVE Also known as a living will or health care declaration/directive, this document outlines your wishes for medical treatments and life-sustaining measures, in the case that you are not able to communicate them verbally. Details might include a “do not resuscitate” order (DNR), the use of breathing machines, tube feeding or organ donation. Making these decisions in advance lets medical professionals know what measures to take and grants your loved ones peace of mind, should they have to communicate these decisions for you. 36

www.SRGserv.com

DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE While an advance directive is limited to end-of-life concerns, a durable power of attorney for health care accounts for all health care decisions in the case that you are incapable of making decisions for yourself. In this document, you are able to outline how your designated power of attorney should act. Their authority to make these decisions ends when you are once again capable of making your own decisions. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Many people know this document simply as a “will.” It outlines how your property (including digital property such as email accounts and blogs) should be distributed and to whom. Different states have different requirements for one’s will. In Texas your will must be signed by two witnesses. LIVING TRUST A living trust designates someone (trustee) to help manage and distribute your assets rather than going through the court system, as in a last will. This often prevents your last wishes from becoming public record. This document also designates terms in which the trustee would set into action, should you be unable to make decisions regarding your assets during and after your life. FINANCIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY This document designates someone (principal) to do business on your behalf, should you be unable to take care of necessary matters yourself. Tasks designated might include paying bills, selling property, managing assets or applying for medical benefits. Unlike a living trust, a financial power of attorney dies when you do.

HOME CARE SERVICES

Home Care vs Home Health Care How can I determine if home care is necessary? When self-care at home becomes difficult and/or family caregivers are not available to assist, home care may be the answer. Home care often relieves family members of basic caregiving functions and makes it possible to spend quality time, rather than the functional caregiving time. Home care is often easier and faster than moving to an institutional care setting and allows the senior to stay at home in familiar surroundings. What is home health care? When the need is for more than home and personal care, a home health care agency may be required. Home health care provides skilled medical services (such as administration and adjustment of medication levels, monitoring and dressing of wounds, etc.) in the home by trained medical personnel. Home health care is always ordered and supervised by a physician. What is home care? Simply put, home care is non-medical, personal assistance provided in the home. Home care may include help with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. It may include a wide range of services: taking and recording vital signs, assistance in the bathroom, light housekeeping, meal preparation, companionship, grocery shopping and pharmacy errands, home safety supervision, medication reminders, bill-paying, laundry, and transportation. Will my insurance cover the costs? Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances are sources of payment for receiving home and home health care. Home Healthcare services are typically medically necessary. They are paid for by Medicare or other health insurance, and have been ordered by a physician. Private duty home care services are typically paid for privately, or using long-term care insurance, reverse mortgage proceeds, or Veterans aid and attendance pension benefits, or some combination of any of these programs.

Tips for Effective Communication with Someone who has Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s disease presents many challenges, and communication is a big one. Despite the challenges, you can communicate effectively with a loved one who has Alzheimer’s. Consider these tips provided by the Mayo Clinic staff: • Speak clearly. Introduce yourself. Speak in a clear, straightforward manner. • Show respect. Avoid secondary baby talk and diminutive phrases, such as “good girl.” Don’t assume that your loved one can’t understand you, and don’t talk about your loved one as if he or she weren’t there. • Stay present. Maintain eye contact, and stay near your loved one so that he or she will know that you’re listening and trying to understand. • Avoid distractions. Communication may be difficult—if not impossible— against a background of competing sights and sounds. • Keep it simple. Use short sentences and plain words. As the disease progresses, yes-no questions may work best, and only one question at a time is best. Break down requests into single steps. • Don’t interrupt. It may take longer than you expect for your loved one to process and respond. Avoid criticizing, hurrying and correcting. • Use visual cues. Sometimes gestures or other visual cues promote better understanding than words alone. Rather than simply asking if your loved one needs to use the toilet, for example, take him or her to the toilet and point to it. • Don’t argue. Your loved one’s reasoning and judgment will decline over time. To spare anger and agitation, don’t argue with your loved one. • Stay calm. Even when you’re frustrated, keep your voice gentle. Your nonverbal cues, including the tone of your voice, can send a clearer message than what you actually say.

Preparing Presenting a By JOHN B. EARTHMAN

Eulogy

he purpose of a eulogy is to acknowledge and share information about a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. It is a great honor for someone to present and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important part of the grieving process for the presenter, as well as the audience. A good place to start is to make a list of thoughts and memories youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to share. While others might not be comfortable or able to give their own eulogy, they might find great comfort in sharing memories with you that you could incorporate into the eulogy. Things you might include are stories, quotes, expressions of love or prayers, all of which can be delivered in a serious or humorous manner depending on what you feel is appropriate. In an effort to have the audience connected and involved in your tribute, the eulogy can be compiled from private memories that your audience might not be aware of as well as personal traits and details of the loved one that all will remember. You will want to include any accomplishments or honors no matter how big or small that were especially important to your loved one. Memories shared should always acknowledge the person in a positive manner and recognize them for who they were accurately. Once you are ready to write the eulogy, decide on how you will begin, then pick the main thoughts and memories that you wish to share and finally determine how you will close. You need to properly introduce yourself when you begin and have a summarizing statement to share when you close. You can read from your notes, but practice giving the eulogy and change any part that does not feel like natural conversation in your own words. Presenting a eulogy can cause great anxiety. Stopping at any time to collect your thoughts or emotions and then continuing when you are ready is understandable and acceptable. If you decide that you cannot continue, simply skip to your final statement. It is the message about the impact of your loved that is important, not the delivery, so just be yourself.

What is Hospice?

Hospice is where those with a terminal illness can spend their final days in peace, dignity, and comfort, surrounded by their loved ones while living wherever they call home. We view our work as a sacred honor and our patient-focused approach hinges on creating a plan of care that is tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual and their family.

The Altus Hospice Mission

The Mission of Altus Hospice is to provide professional care with a personal touch. We will treat the disease process with medical expertise while emphasizing quality living, not only physically, but also psychosocially, emotionally and spiritually. Comfort, compassion and calming presence are the gifts we bring to this service, and we are honored to walk with the patient and loved ones through this sacred time.

How Do You Know When Your Loved One Is Ready for Hospice?

• Frequent calls to the doctor’s office for appointments • Missing doctor office appointments because patient is too sick to make the trip • Increased Emergency Room visits and/or hospitalizations • Weight loss in the past 6 months • Decreased mobility in the past six months • Management of patient is focused on maintaining comfort and quality of life • Patient cannot be cured of their primary disease • Patient may or may not be home bound; however requires additional medical services to remain at home.

Texas Law dictates that both birth and death certificates are deemed confidential for a set period of time. Birth certificates are confidential for 75 years, and death certificates are confidential for 25 years after the death has occurred. If a birth or death certificate is requested before this period of time elapses, certified copies of these documents can only be obtained by a qualified applicant. A qualified applicant can be an immediate family member (by blood or marriage), a legal guardian, or the legal representative of the person for whom the document is requested. If you are not a qualified applicant, you may request a verification of a birth or death record.

FINAL PLANNING

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.

Deceased Identity Theft

To avoid identity theft of a deceased person, it is recommended that you take the following steps: • Scale back the obituary—don’t provide too much information. • Notify banks and creditors. • Contact credit reporting bureaus— request decedent’s credit report and flag as “deceased.” • Report death to Social Security; they will flag decedent’s number as inactive. Also notify your local passport office, if applicable. Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide! 151

Grief has four distinct phases: 1). Shock and numbness 2). Yearning and searching: Survivors experience separation anxiety and cannot accept loss. 3). Disorganization and despair: Family members feel depressed and find it difficult to plan for the future or concentrate and focus on anything. 4).
