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.

Long-Distance Caregiving Checklist Here are a few items to keep in mind during your next visit. • Attend a doctor’s appointment with your parent to find out current health status and concerns. • Check with the pharmacy to make sure your parent is getting all his or her prescriptions filled and on a timely basis. • Kitchen check-up. Make sure to report any weight loss to the doctor as it can also be a sign of something more serious. Check the refrigerator to make sure there is ample food or for outdated food. • Assess driving ability. • Meet your parents’ neighbors and close friends and get their phone numbers, and provide your emergency contact. • Discuss your parents’ wishes for health care and finances in case they are unable to make those decisions in the future. • Gather a list of trustworthy, reputable eldercare and related resources in the community. • Get copies of your parent’s insurance card(s), physicians’ names and phone numbers, key contacts and medical history. • Do a safety evaluation of the home. • Consider a personal emergency response system.

Need Long-term Care? by JEFF CARMACK | Texas Health and Human Services
Most of us don’t like to think about long-term care but there’s a good chance that, sooner or later, we’ll need it. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 70 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will need long-term care services at some point in their lives. If you or someone you care about needs long-term care, Texas Health and Human Services can help. The agency offers a wealth of information to connect you to resources, healthcare providers and services that help you live healthier. VISIT the website at www.dads.state.tx.us. Click “Help For Texans” and find information on services for people with medical or physical disabilities, intellectual or developmental disabilities, for older adults, and for caregivers who need a break from their duties. When you go to this page you can start the application process that will let you know if you qualify for services. CALL 1-855-937-2372 for information. Although you may not qualify for services, HHS can still steer you in the right direction. The 28 area agencies on aging offer help to Texans age 60 and older, their family members and caregivers to locate and access local services, including benefits counseling, legal assistance, care coordination, caregiver support services, in-home support and the ombudsman program. DIAL 2-1-1 Texas, a program operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, connects Texans with the services they need. Accurate, well-organized and easy-to-find information from more than 60,000 state and local health and human services programs is available by phone and online. For more information, dial 2-1-1 or visit www.211texas.org.

ADVANCED HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY 300 For Less Than $
“I was amazed! Sounds I hadn’t heard in years came back to me!” — Don, January 2016
How can a hearing aid that costs less than $300 be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,000 or more?
The answer: Although tremendous strides have
been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now...
The MDHearingAid PRO ® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price. Over 75,000 satisfied PRO customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registeredhearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a medical-grade hearing aid. MDHearingAid PRO ® gives you a sophisticated high-performance hearing aid that works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. You can contact a hearing specialist conveniently on-line or by phone —even after sale at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. Now that you know... why pay more?
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR

The ideal patient-doctor relationship is really a partnership. Research has shown that a strong doctor-patient relationship leads to better medical outcomes and patient satisfaction. An important element of this partnership is communication. Open and honest exchange of information is critical to managing good health and identifying health issues as early as possible.

TIPS
on How to Talk to Your Doc
This means feeling comfortable asking questions, sharing health concerns and taking an active role in the exchange. Below are a few tips to enhance communication with your doctor during clinic visits: Start by making a list of concerns prior to the visit. It’s possible you may not have a chance to get through your entire list, so prioritizing your questions and concerns is important. Be prepared with the details about your symptoms, medications and any special needs you might have while in the exam room. Bring a trusted friend or family member. Ask them to take notes so you can pay close attention to what the physician is saying and asking. Ask them to remind you of important details or questions that you may miss. Following the visit, review your notes and start making preparations for the next steps. Make sure you understand what is needed for any testing, supportive therapies, new treatments and subsequent follow-up visits.

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.

HEARTY VEGGIE LASAGNA Courtesy of Borden® Cheese
Servings

Photography | Borden®
2 tablespoons olive oil
Ingredients 1 container (16 ounces) Borden Fat Free Cottage Cheese ®
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 teaspoon oregano
8 ounces Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup Borden® Cheese Finely Shredded Aged Parmesan Natural Shreds, divided ½ teaspoon black pepper
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
½ teaspoon salt
1¼ cup chopped onion
½ teaspoon thyme 4 cups tomato pasta sauce 8 ounce lasagna noodles, either “oven ready” or cooked per package directions and drained
Heat oven to 375 F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Drain the cottage cheese in a strainer for 15 minutes to remove any excess liquid; set aside. Press the thawed spinach in a strainer with a spoon or paper towels to remove excess water; set aside. Combine eggs, cottage cheese, Mozzarella, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper in a medium bowl; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and sauté until soft. Add the drained spinach, beans, garlic, oregano, basil and thyme, and sauté 5 minutes. Add pasta sauce and stir for a few more minutes until combined well. Spread a third of the pasta sauce mixture onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of noodles, half of the cottage cheese mixture and another third of the sauce. Repeat the layer. Finish with the last third of the bean-pasta sauce mixture. Gently press down on the top of the lasagna to make sure all of the noodles are covered with sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle on remaining ¾ cup Parmesan cheese and bake 15 minutes more or until lasagna is heated through and bubbly.

Preparing Presenting a by JOHN B. EARTHMAN
Eulogy
T
he purpose of a eulogy is to acknowledge and share information about a person’s life. It is a great honor for someone to present and it’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 you’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.

Hospice
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. Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!
119
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 120
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?

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.
144
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.
