to Add Curb Appeal to Your Home 1. Accent a bay window by adding window panels below the opening. 2.

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.

Butterfly
Creating a
Garden
by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE
S
outh Texas is home to several species of butterflies. These tiny, colorful creatures possess the power to capture the attention of young and old alike. Creating a butterfly garden is more than just planting colorful flowers to attract them. Like any other creature, butterflies have specific needs when it comes to their habitat.
34
www.SRGserv.com
Here are a few plants that are sure to create a colorful, nectarrendering, butterflyfriendly habitat right in your own backyard. Blue sage is a native Texas perennial, drought-resistant and blooms in shades of purple and blue nearly year-round. Texas lantana thrives in hot Texas temperatures. It produces bright colorful blossoms and attracts swallowtails, sulphurs and brush-foot butterflies. Asclepias is also known as milkweed and comes in several varieties. The most common variety in Texas is also known as Antelope Horn. Tropical Milkweed is not native to Texas but is widely available in garden centers and blooms in bright bold colors. Zinnias grow well in the Texas heat and are easy to grow from a seed. They are annuals, so be prepared to plant them each spring. Buddleia (butterfly bush) usually bloom mid-July through frost, in vibrant shades of purple, red and white. A butterfly garden will not only attract colorful creatures to your space, but will also create a colorful atmosphere in which you can relax and enjoy. Don’t forget to feed the next generation of butterflies— the caterpillars! Here are some plants that will attract and nurture certain caterpillar species in Coastal South Texas: • Asclepias (milkweed) – Monarchs • Passion Vines – Fritillaries • Parsley – Black Swallowtail • Citrus – Giant Swallowtail • Pipevine – Pipevine Swallowtail

Must-Have Legal Documents by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE
W
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.

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
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 communities are set up to provide residents help with daily activities and also usually offer some level of healthcare services.
Residential/Personal Care Homes 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 These facilities are licensed and equipped to provide residents with healthcare that meets the needs of more involved medical problems.
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.
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 the 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.

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.

by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE
do you go from here?
W
hen everyday tasks such as cooking or maintaining a house appear to be burdensome for a loved one, or signs of loneliness become prevalent, it may be time explore a new living situation. So, where do you go from here?
Eldercare professionals such as a geriatric care manager (GCM) might be a good place to start. They can be instrumental in helping determine the specific services your loved one may need and are also familiar with local options and associated costs. Most GCMs charge a fee; so be sure to get references and fee information before hiring one. However, if you choose to do the research yourself, the first step is to research options available in your area. From there, you can begin to locate places that meet your specific criteria and the needs of your loved one. There are five major housing options to consider: living with a family member or friend; independent retirement communities; assisted living facilities; nursing homes; and continued care retirement communities. Moving in with a family member or friend is an ideal option when it is convenient for both parties. This allows seniors to remain in a comfortable environment and maintain social relationships. This option is often the most affordable. Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!
73
Home care providers can be considered in addition to or instead of this option. Home care services provide specialized non-medical care, as well as create respite opportunities for caregivers—allowing your loved one maximum freedom. Home care should not be confused with home health companies that provide medical assistance in the home. Be sure to look for 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 with daily activities. 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 games night in a centrally located place on the property. They are ideal for independent seniors looking to retire among people their own age and retain a social life. These communities, however, are not a viable option for those who need help with everyday tasks, such as cooking, cleaning or dressing. Assisted living properties provide a low level of care for seniors who need additional help, but still wish to remain independent. Most are residence hall-style with a choice of single or double rooms. Housing options vary depending on location and can range from a single room to an individual apartment, with or without a kitchen. These properties can offer help with tasks such as dressing, bathing and cleaning, around the clock. In general, most places provide three meals per day, light transportation, 24-hour security, medication management and social activities. Be sure to ask each facility which services they provide. Assisted living is typically 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 loved one can handle the cost long-term. There are a growing number of assisted living properties that specialize in Alzheimer’s and memory care. They provide similar services as a regular assisted living property, however they have trained staff in working with an Alzheimer’s resident’s special needs. In addition, they provide a safe, secure unit for their residents. Skilled nursing facilities provide the highest level of care available. Unlike assisted living, 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 medication management. 74

Most provide recreational activities for residents and some provide rehab opportunities. 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 post-recovery. Temporary nursing home stays are often covered by Medicare, but long-term or permanent stays are not. Continued care retirement communities, also known as CCRCs, provide increasing levels of care as needs change. These communities are equipped for all levels of care, from completely independent housing options to constant care options. Seniors can live independently at the outset and transition into minimal care options or nursing care as their needs change. A major benefit is that your loved ones do not have to keep moving as their condition changes. Although cost plays a large factor with this option, 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 assess your loved one’s financial situation, current care needs and how those factors may change in the next five to 10 years.

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.

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. 146
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.

Understanding by Senior Resource Guide
Hospice
H
ospice 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. Hospice provides care, comfort and support for persons with life-limiting conditions as well as their families.
How Does Hospice Work? Hospice care is for any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness. All hospices consider the patient and family together as the unit of care. 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. 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 or hospitals. Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and when appropriate, helps make decisions for the hospice patient. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!

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 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 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. 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 and Nursing care • Medical equipment (like wheelchairs or walkers) • Medical supplies (like bandages and catheters) • Drugs for symptom control and pain relief • Short-term hospital care, including respite and inpatient for pain/symptom management • Home health aide and homemaker services • Physical, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy • Social work services and 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. The Medicare Hospice Benefit Does Not Cover the Following: • Treatment intended to cure your terminal illness. You should talk with your doctor if you are thinking about potential treatment to cure your illness. • Medications not directly related to your hospice diagnosis. Hospice team 150
www.SRGserv.com
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. • 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. 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 might be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice residential facility, hospital, or nursing home. 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. 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. All care that you receive for your illness must be given by your hospice team. Questions to Ask When Choosing 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? • 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? • Are any of the staff members certified or credentialed in hospice? • Do physicians visit the patient in the home? • What is the staff to patient ratio? • Are any alternative therapies provided to manage symptoms? • What ‘extras’ does the hospice provide?

NON-PROFITS/SENIOR SERVICES
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.

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.
