hile caregiving for my grandmother (Cora Hobbs), I realized that I was not alone in the quest for information and resources—thus was born the Senior Resource Guide.

Having been an eldercare advocate for over 25 years, it was a dreamcome-true to start SRG with my husband C ora Hobbs 1915–2006 and then have our children join us. As a family-owned and operated organization, we are committed to assisting those on their quest for active aging, which for many includes caregiving.

DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE

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.

Chocolate Mousse

DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE

TEXAS CAREGIVER JOBS!

Courtesy of Jordan Vineyard and Winery Ingredients: 30 ounces 68 percent bittersweet chocolate discs 32 ounces heavy whipping cream 15 ounces sugar 1 cup water 18 large eggs

Photography | Jordan Vineyard and Winery Directions: Gently heat bittersweet chocolate over a double boiler, stirring constantly until melted (120 F) and set aside.

In a non-reactive bowl, whip cream to soft peaks and set aside.

In a heavy-bottomed sauce pot over medium heat, combine sugar and water and heat to a soft-crack stage (282 F). In a stainless steel or copper bowl, beat yolks until thickened and then slowly pour sugar-water into yolks. Gently fold whipped cream into yolk mixture. Once the whipped cream is fully incorporated, gently fold in the tempered chocolate, reserving 3 ounces for the drizzle. Pour mousse into individual bowls or one large, decorative bowl.

Drizzle reserved chocolate over the top and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.

Mousse may be kept refrigerated for up to 48 hours.

DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE

Assessing An Aging Parent

If you suspect that a loved one may be having difficulties, here are a few key areas to observe.

• Life Tasks Life tasks include two areas: Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, feeding and grooming; Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLS) such as shopping, meal preparation and house cleaning.

• Safety Areas to be mindful of: finances, cognitive, driving, elder abuse, health • Physical/Mood/Mental Health Are there any noticeable changes?

• Medication Safety and Management Are they forgetting to take their medications, getting them mixed up or not remembering to refill a prescription?

What To Do When Parents Resist Help Problems in each of these areas make a loved one susceptible to problems in other areas, so it’s important you ask questions.

Keep the following in mind.

• Make sure you’ve heard and validated their emotions • Consider the possibility of cognitive impairment • What are their goals and what trade-offs might they be willing to make • Distinguish what you need from what they need Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!

So it’s time to take the next step.

Who do you call?

by Liz McNeel

Certified Senior Housing Professional, KellerWilliams

Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) are among the most respected real estate professionals in the market. They are more equipped than general real estate agents to address the needs of senior adults and are committed to serving as partners throughout the entire consultative process surrounding a late-in-life move.

Who are CSHP realtors?

CSHPs are caring and compassionate advocates, skilled business people and master collaborators. When an older adult needs a team of experts to assist with a complex move, their Certified Senior Housing Professional is fully educated and prepared to serve as both a guide and a consultant, providing referrals as well as personal service from start to finish.

Why choose a CSHP ?

While their profession is selling real estate, CSHPs have a strong vocation to serve. Their commitment to assisting as trusted advisor and advocate ensures that their senior clients will get what they want and under the terms that best meet their goals and desires.

Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) know that to best serve the diverse transition needs of senior adults, they must surround themselves with a trusted resource team.

When looking for a realtor, be sure to look for the CSHP designation.

Tips for Effective Alzheimer’s Communication 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.

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.

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.
