“Once every three months, have a ‘frugal week,’ with a goal of consciously spending as little as you can.” Doing this three or four times a year might help pay down your balance faster than you think.

Solutions that can help you pay off your bills for good. By Jennifer Thompson

ne of my favorite episodes of the television sitcom “Roseanne” is the episode about blue-collar couple Dan and Roseanne Conner working on their tax returns. Ever ambitious, they have left the task to the last minute and thus spend the episode frantically trying to learn financial terminology and bemoaning the complicated nature of managing their finances. On top of their confusion, their fear of an audit is accompanied by the sound of a death knoll every time a character even speaks the word. Often this is how we think of debt as well — something complicated and distressing with the pall of debt collectors ever hovering on the other side of a payment due date. However, there are strategies for getting out of debt that don’t require a degree in finance and don’t require you to go without food for a year. Ken Berzof, founder of Financial Helper LLC, Johnny Cantrell, chief operating continued on page 10 8

officer at Apprisen Financial Advocates, and Susan Horowitz, certified financial planner (CFP), give the following tips:

1. Creative Budgeting Cantrell says that it’s essential to analyze every penny that comes to you and to have a plan for any extra cash that might come in. He and Berzof give some strategies to funnel some additional money toward debt payments: • Live on only a portion of your income. Berzof says, “Budget only 85 to 90 percent of your projected income for the coming year, and if you stay on budget, at the end of the year you can divert that surplus to debt repayment.” Create a special savings account that you know you aren’t going to touch until you decide to make a lump sum payment.

2. Negotiating with Creditors

• Have a frugal week. Berzof explains: “Once every three months, have a ‘frugal week,’ with a goal of consciously spending as little as you can.” Instead of going out to eat or spending the money on entertainment or travel, add an extra lump sum payment to your debt with the highest interest rate. Doing this three or four times a year might help pay down your balance faster than you think.

Horowitz says that fear of collection agents often immobilizes people from exploring their options when it comes to their debt. “People feel like they’re at the mercy of these creditors, not the other way around,” she says. “But you have to realize that they want your business and they want your money, so they’ll work with you to get payments, especially in these hard times when they’re having trouble getting people to pay at all.”

• Look at your W-4. Cantrell says too many people don’t research their tax credits and deductions. If you are earning income from an employer, you can ask to look at your W-4 to make sure not too much tax money is being withheld; this way, you’re not relying on a big tax return once a year and instead have more income each month so that you will be able to plan better. “Most people don’t know how much they’re going to get back on their return,” Cantrell says, “so when they get the money, they’re not prepared to use it to its best advantage. Having the maximum cash flow under your control throughout the year helps you budget well.” • Account for additional pay periods ahead of time. “Pay attention to extra pay periods throughout the year,” Cantrell says. “If you’re paid biweekly, you’re going to have a couple extra checks throughout the year. Decide ahead of time where that money is going.” The same goes for holidays. Berzof suggests asking for gift cards as presents so that whatever money you save from your regular weekly expenses can go toward paying off debts. 10

“...You have to realize that [creditors] want your business and they want your money, so they’ll work with you to get payments, especially in these hard times when they’re having trouble getting people to pay at all.”

3. Reverse Mortgage “I’ll admit I was skeptical of this at first,” Cantrell says, “but it is a viable option for some people.” Your home has monetary value, and a reverse mortgage allows you to turn that value into cash, which you can then use to increase your income for expenses or even paying off other debts. “A reverse mortgage is a loan from the bank against the value of the home that the person doesn’t have to pay back as long as the person still lives there,” Cantrell says. The loan can be paid off with the proceeds from the sale of the home if you move to assisted living or a relative’s home, or life insurance can pay it off if you live in the home until your death. Talk to your bank or a financial advisor about your options. Some reverse mortgages allow for monthly checks, prepaid debit cards, or even just a one-time lump sum.

4. Reallocate Savings and Investments Berzof encourages people to think outside their comfort zone regarding their investments. “Try easing continued on page 12 t o d a y ’ s

up on CDs and treasuries in favor of quality real estate investment trusts or preferred stocks. These things could enhance your income without taking undue risk.” Similarly, Cantrell says to look into accessing retirement accounts or other assets to create additional income. He shares his own grandfather as an example: “He was 70 years old and was living off a pension and small social security payments. He was having trouble meeting medical bills even though he had thousands of dollars just sitting in a private retirement. Like many people, he wanted to save that money to give to his children upon his death, but once he talked to his financial advisor, he found that he could take small portions from this account and still have a lot left to give to his family.”

In all these things, remember it’s okay to ask for help and advice. Money can be difficult to talk about and debt can be overwhelming, but there are financial advisors to help no matter what state your finances are currently in. “It can be hard to get out of your comfort zone,” Horowitz says. “People get very comfortable with inaction, but when it comes to debt, it’s worth figuring out your options.”

Invest in Healthcare “My wife has several ongoing medical conditions, so I would put the money away in case of an emergency if I needed medicine or medical treatment for her. “I have lived on a fixed income for several years,” Farish says, “and extra cash helps me feel more secure. “My primary goal is to ensure I can care for my wife in any circumstance, and knowing I have cash adds to my confidence that I could do that.” — Donald Farish

Susan Horowitz, certified financial planner, gives three quick pieces of advice for negotiating with creditors: • Contact creditors early. If you know you’re going to be behind on making a payment, contact the creditor first and explain what’s going on. You might be surprised to find that they might waive a late fee or work with you on a temporary forbearance. • Just ask. If your monthly payment is too high, see if you can negotiate a lower payment or a lower interest rate. “A lot of places have hardship programs that they don’t advertise,” Horowitz says. “Sometimes they will do things like temporarily lift the interest to allow you to pay down your principle amount.” • Take your business elsewhere. “If a company isn’t working with you to make your payments what they need to be, see if there are other companies that will purchase your balance and give you a better repayment plan. But even if selling your balance isn’t an option, your company may match the rate or plan of a competing company.” t o d a y ’ s

Christmas Rush

he older I get, the faster Christmas seems to come.

I am turning 60 this year so I’m thinking that if I make it to 70 I might as well leave a tree up all year long. Christmas comes so quickly now I feel stuck in a revolving time-warped door with Christmas lights flashing constantly in my face. Such super speed in time means the New Year follows as closely as a bumper car causing the calendar years to collide in exhaustion. Of course as a child my perspective was considerably different. At that time it felt like years stretched out between the holidays. An entire lifetime loomed before my childish enthusiasm from Thanksgiving until school was finally out for Christmas vacation. Once it was over, I remember vividly the letdown that followed knowing the Christmas to come was so far away. When you are a child the holidays are all about fun — decorations, Santa, gifts, family, and food. No thought was ever given as to how these things seemed to magically appear. I was only vaguely aware of my mother in the background of these years frantically shopping and cleaning and cooking. The childhood joy of Christmas continued for me until I married and we had our own family. I was excited about starting our own traditions for our boys. As an only child with the only grandchildren on both sides of the family, I found it a privilege to have everyone at our house. I decided to do the cooking. Our mothers had done their share and it was time to pass the torch. The torch burned brightly through our sons’ childhoods, but since their adulthood and the loss of all our parents except my mother-in-law, the torch has finally gotten too heavy. Since neither of our sons are married and show no interest in holiday festivities other than the actual meal, I have no one to pass the torch to at this stage. So at age sixty, I have finally laid the torch down and am hunting for a fire extinguisher. It has been a slow process of letting go. 14

About five years ago, I decided I was tired of dragging our six foot artificial tree from the basement and begging everyone to help decorate it. I went to a smaller tree, but continued to spend hours decorating the house. Last year I finally let go. I pared the decorating down so much I put one string of lights on a plant that made Charlie Brown’s tree look like the one in Rockefeller Center. No more decorating the mantel and stairs with greenery. No more decorating bathrooms and kitchens. I thought I would feel a loss. All I felt was relief. I felt light and exhilarated. All of the old Christmas expectations had come from me and could only be let go by me. It was an empowering feeling. It was also enlightening. Christmas came much as it did for the Whos in Whoville after the Grinch thought he had taken everything away. Christmas came quietly and spiritually without the frenzied preparations and exhausting shopping. I found that once I simplified the holidays, Christmas became more meaningful for all of us as a family. We concentrated on the true meaning that had always been there but sometimes seemed to get lost in the shuffle of all the hoop-la. I am looking forward to this Christmas more than ever now that I have discovered the secret. I will again put lights on my plant and the only thing I will set out for certain is one very small, but very meaningful manger scene. I was contemplating getting rid of the years of accumulated Christmas stuff that takes up an entire corner of our basement. The only thing holding me back is the small glimmer of hope that we might one day have grandchildren. That glimmer reminds me to hold onto the torch just in case it may need relighting. I do not see that in my future right now, but if it should happen, I might need that basement corner. As far as decorating and hoopla, if/ when we have grandchildren all bets are off.

When it’s time to move your loved one into a long term care facility, knowing how to make the transition easier for both of you matters.

By Marie Bradby

n a blistery hot Friday in early August, Edward Murphy, 81, a diabetic and leg amputee, managed to get out on the front porch of the home where he was living with his daughter and his wife Pat, and there he sat. For several hours. 16

The neighbor noticed. Edward also suffers from advanced dementia, and as hard as his wife tried, she couldn’t persuade him to come in out of the afternoon heat that hovered around 90 degrees. When their daughter, Patricia A. Murphy, 57, arrived home from her job as an administrator for a healthcare company, she was shocked. Edward was confused, over-heated, dehydrated, and too weak to stand. She immediately called EMS. continued on page 18 t o d a y ’ s

This became the final night of Patricia’s two- and a half-year effort to take care of both of her parents in her own home. After a brief hospital stay, Patricia had to move her father to a nursing home. “We knew it was coming, that he was going to have to go to some type of facility,” said Patricia, whose brother and sister live out of town. But “knowing that we had arrived at that particular point (was hard).” Nationally, five percent of people aged 65 and older live long-term in a nursing facility, according to Barbara Gordon, director of the Area Agency on Aging with KIPDA (the Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency that covers seven counties in the Louisville region.) That number jumps to 25 percent of people 95 and older. Because our elderly population is growing rapidly, more and more families will be faced with this decision. Eighteen percent of people in the Louisville seven-county region are age 60 and older, a figure that is projected to rise to 21.5 percent in 2020, and 23.7 percent in 2030, Barbara said. Though moving an elderly parent or loved one into a nursing home happens everyday in Louisville, it is often an emotionally and financially traumatic event. Patients — typically in their 80s — often feel a loss of 18

independence and families are riddled with guilt. Both may be facing mortality for the first time and be in denial. Financially, the cost of nursing home care is staggering. Nationally, the long-term nursing home care industry amounts to over $200 billion a year. In Louisville, the average cost of a semi-private room is more than $66,000 annually, according to a Met-Life Market Survey.

Easing the transition Area health care professionals say there are things one can do to ease the transition. For example, before the move, educate yourself about the aging process, Medicare, and thoroughly check out facilities. After the move, it’s important to visit daily, get to know the staff, and join a support group. Though it has helped that Patricia scouted out nursing homes in advance, has established a relationship with the nursing facility staff, and visits regularly, she still finds the situation to be hard. “It’s all a grief process,” said Cathy Warth, director of resident services at Treyton Oak Towers, an independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care facility. “Grief is not just death, it’s, ‘Mom’s not what Mom used to be.’ You have to grieve — to go through the denial, the acceptance, continued on page 20 t o d a y ’ s

the whole nine yards — to where you finally accept it. None of us want to face it. We (staff members) don’t even want to face it with residents, much less our own mother or someone you care about.” For many the move is inevitable. Mom or Dad might have already been in declining health for years. They might have already needed substantial help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, or eating; and related activities such as household chores, meal preparation, or managing money. But then a medical event — such as a fall, resulting in a hip fracture; or a stroke; or a significant decline in health due to advanced diseases such as Parkinson’s and dementia — tips the scales. Suddenly the parent also has medical needs that are difficult to meet in the home, such as feeding tubes, wound care, breathing apparatus, and they might be unable to ambulate. To delay the move, Patricia, who works full-time as a facility accountant for Senior Care, had moved her parents in with her from their tri-level house of forty plus years because it was too dangerous for them to negotiate the stairs. She had hired an aide who came for four hours daily to get her father out of bed, bathed, and dressed. The aide also fed him breakfast and helped with lunch. Patricia took over as the caretaker after work, preparing dinner and taking care of all her parents’ needs. Without the help of an aide, she would have needed to quit her job. But that hot evening, August 6, everything changed. Patricia struggled to get her father into the house and onto the couch. As he’d gotten weaker, he’d had several falls, and was mostly dead weight. At first the hospital tried to discharge him, but Patricia questioned that. “It took three people to try to get him in the van to take him home,” she said. “I looked at them and said, ‘If it’s taking three people to get him in the van, there’s no way I can get him out to take him into the house.’ So the doctor admitted him.” After a three-day stay, Edward was moved to Meadowview Health and Rehab Center.

Being prepared and making adjustments “You need to prepare yourself and not feel guilty about it,” said Patricia. “There comes a time when you can’t care for them in the home any more. You don’t have the equipment and it will wear you out, especially if you need to be there for another parent or a child. “We were fortunate to find a good nursing facility,” Patricia said. She stressed that Meadowview has provided excellent care and support, including recommending a palliative care physician who has explained that her father is in the final stages of dementia. “There are people out there to set you straight,” Patricia said, “and say, ‘This is where we are.’” 20

Who can help you decide if it’s time for

The Move? Donna S. Roberts, RN, care coordinator in neurosurgery at Baptist Hospital East, said, “I try to emphasize to patients that nursing home care is not always forever. But, for some people it is; they have come to that point in their life.” Most families can’t provide 24/7 care because they still need to work. “Families go through a tremendous amount of guilt,” Donna said. Many families find themselves scrambling after a crisis to find a facility that meets their loved one’s needs and their budget. Donna gives families a list of available nursing homes in the Louisville area and suggests that they visit the website www.medicare.gov where they can look up inspection ratings on facilities. After you select a few places, it’s important to visit them, she said. According to AARP, one-third of people pay for the costs from their own funds. But two-thirds rely on Medicare. Many — but not all — patients have Medicare and supplemental insurance, or a Medicare Replacement Policy. A few have long-term care insurance. “I go over what Medicare covers and what their insurance covers,” Donna said. “The nursing home deals with financial counseling. They let them know what the exact cost is to the patient.” Generally, Medicare will pay for up to the first 20 days in full or skilled nursing care, if you meet the criteria, Donna said. At day 21 through 100, there is a daily deductible of $133.50 per day that is picked by Medicare primary and supplemental insurance, or Medicare Replacement. If the patient doesn’t have supplemental insurance, the deductible becomes an out-of-pocket payment. But at day 101, the entire cost is the responsibility of the patient and their family. “Once they no longer meet the Medicare guidelines for skilled care, they have to use available cash, whether savings, or investments ...which can be limited and might involve selling their home...if it becomes a long-term care need.” Medicaid only picks up the cost of nursing home care once people have used up almost all their savings. t o d a y ’ s

Some patients adjust to the move within days, others take months, and some never do, said Cathy with Treyton Oak Towers. “Some are very reluctant,” she said. “It’s better if it’s their idea.” Resistance is most difficult with patients who have dementia, said Megan Schweri, social services coordinator with Treyton Oak Towers. “They can’t process and understand what exactly the changes are they are going through. When patients are demented, caregivers have more regret, more anxiety. A lot of them have promised, ‘I would never put Mom or Dad in a home.’ Now it’s right in your face. “I admire people who are able to keep their parents at home and provide in-home service. It’s expensive, and difficult, and a 24-hour job in many cases.” Margie Miller, RN, a private geriatric nurse case manager, said for many elderly people, living in a new habitat increases their confusion. “That’s why I recommend visiting them everyday...to calm the transition,” Margie said. Sometimes it helps people “if they feel it’s not forever, ...(that) it’s temporary,” Cathy said, “even though you know your mother is not going to come out of that nursing home.” Sometimes she tells the patient, “ ‘Let’s do this for two weeks and then look at this again.’ We re-assess it, and then I say, ‘Let’s do this for two more weeks.’ I don’t say, ‘We’re going to 22

W I N T E R

do this for the rest of your life,’ but I keep saying, ‘Let’s do this for two more weeks and see how you do.’” To ease the stress for the family, Cathy tells them to let staff members be the caregivers. “You get to be the daughter (or son) again,” she said. “So when you visit your mom you can enjoy her.” Patricia visits her father on breaks during the day. Some days she takes her mother there to visit with him for half a day, then takes her back home. “But you have to have a life yourself,” she said. “You have to convince yourself that they are being taken good care of. Let the nursing home do what they are there to do. Otherwise you will drive yourself crazy.” Because of the advanced dementia, Edward no longer recognizes the need to eat or drink, resulting in kidney problems since the move and five trips back to the emergency room for dehydration. “He is at the stage of: ‘Leave me alone,’ ” she said. “He doesn’t want people poking him with needles and putting medicine in his mouth. He is questioning, ‘What is the purpose of this?’ ” She thinks about him constantly and wonders throughout the day about how he is doing and feels guilty. She goes back and forth. “The girl at the nursing home told me the night that he was admitted, ‘I’ll take care of him, don’t you worry.’ For somebody to say that was a relief,” she said. “You feel like they are in a place that can better take care of them.” t o d a y ’ s

“Someone I Love Has Alzheimer’s”

Strategies for coping when a spouse or relative has been diagnosed with the disease. By Lisa Hurt Kozarovich

ot long after her husband retired, Mary began noticing subtle changes in his behavior.

“He started having trouble remembering appointments and keeping track of time. When we were playing games I’d notice little differences. It was just casual changes at first,” recalls Mary. But for a man who’d spent decades as a financial accountant, the small changes were a red flag. After a fall, Mary’s husband agreed to see a doctor and was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, a disorder that is thought to precede Alzheimer’s disease. Initially, both of them, like many people, dismissed the changes, suspecting age and retirement were to blame. For that exact reason, the Alzheimer’s Association has a comparison chart on its website that helps people differentiate between early signs of Alzheimer’s and normal aging issues. For example, missing a monthly payment is a normal

sign of aging, but an inability to manage a budget is a sign of dementia such as Alzheimer’s; occasionally forgetting which word to use is part of aging, while difficulty carrying on a conversation is a warning signal of dementia. For some families, the signs are more obvious. When Skip Scharfenberger turned to his wife Carole one day and asked her to take over the family’s finances, a duty the retired company vice president had handled for 52 years, she immediately suspected Alzheimer’s. After all, she had experience with dementia — the couple had cared for Skip’s mother after she developed the disease. There were other signs too. “He’s diabetic; all of a sudden he was having trouble taking his blood sugar. He was a big golfer, but he stopped playing. There were things he’d done for years that I started having to help him with,” Carole recalls. Though the couple was suspicious, Skip didn’t see a neurologist until two years later. Carole said the family didn’t see any reason to see a doctor earlier; they knew all about Alzheimer’s and its outcome from caring for her mother-in-law. The fact is, it’s a fatal disease for which there is no cure. At the time the couple was simply hoping to spend a few good years in the dream continued on page 26 t o d a y ’ s

Where to Go For Help The Greater Kentucky/ Southern Indiana Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association offers many free programs at various times throughout the year aimed at educating and supporting patients and their families, including: • Care Consultation: An initial meeting with the family to determine what their needs are and what services are available to help them. • Learning Together Support Group: A sixweek program designed to provide information, support, and encouragement for persons in early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and their care partners. The support groups provide an opportunity to discuss issues and changes related to memory loss and a gathering to share experiences and feelings. • Lunch Bunch Outings: Regular outings for persons with early stage Alzheimer’s disease to maintain social connections. Outings include lunch and a socially and culturally enriching activity. • Snack ‘N’ Learn: An ongoing education series in which experts discuss different topics, ranging from home safety to surviving the holidays. • ABC’s of Caregiving Workshop: Designed for the new caregiver focusing on symptoms, treatment, future planning, and community resources. • Family Caregiver Workshop: Information on Alzheimer’s disease, caregiving basics, legal decisions, and caring for the caregiver. • 24-Hour Helpline: Available 365 days a year by calling 1.800.272.3900. For more information, contact the Alzheimer’s Association at 502.451.4266 or visit the Web site at www.alz.org/kyin/ 26

home they were building in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Today, though, the Alzheimer’s Association is working hard to get the word out that there are benefits of an early diagnosis and treatment. For example, drugs such as Aricept and Exelon can help slow the progression of the disease, and researchers are currently working on more than 90 other medications they believe could not only slow, but even delay the onset of the disease. “Maybe 15 years ago, you could say ‘why bother’ getting diagnosed, there’s nothing that can be done, but we’re so much further ahead now. Getting diagnosed early allows people to get the maximum benefits from treatments. There are clinical trials they can participate in that can be beneficial, and it gives people a chance to plan,” says Tonya Cox, vice president for mission services for the local Alzheimer’s Association. “They can say, ‘OK, no more waiting, we’ve dreamed about this for years and now we’re going to do it now.’” Mary and her husband, for example, have stayed busy traveling, most recently to New York City and Costa Rica. They’ll be spending the holidays with their daughter in Florida. “We don’t obsess about the future anymore. We enjoy now. The possibility is that we could be good for 10 or 20 years,” Mary said. “We’re both retired, we’re comfortable, we’re enjoying life. Once you get over the shock of the diagnosis, you just keep going. Life hasn’t changed that much.” That’s another point Cox hopes to get across. She says, “One of the biggest misconceptions is if someone has this disease, they can’t do anything, life is over. Initially, it only affects memory, people can still continue to live active lives with some adjustments.” Mary says they have made a series of minor adjustments. “We do little things. I’m the second set of eyes now. We look at the important things together. And we have a GPS that helps with driving. (He) can drive fine, but he was having some problems with directions. We used to multi-task a lot. Now when we drive, we turn off the music, we don’t talk a lot, we focus on the task at hand.” The couple also began sorting through boxes of family photos, remembering the people and places, and putting those photos around the house. The Scharfenbergers took similar measures early on. “We had a big calendar we kept, and we’d talk about what day it was, what was coming up. When we went out with friends, I’d write down the names of all the people at the party where we’d be going,” Carole recalls. There were other things Carole wishes the couple had planned for earlier. “I’d say line up your support group early and start making plans now. We should have never built that house. You might think it won’t progress as quickly and for some people it doesn’t, but don’t count on that,” she said. “Educate yourself on the disease, explore what’s out there as far as resources or medications that can help. And if you suspect something, try to get a long-term (health care) policy before a diagnosis, because you can’t get one later.” That’s just the kind of planning families coping with a new diagnosis often overlook, according to Charlaine Reynolds, who owns ElderCareKentuckiana.com, a Louisville-based agency that helps clients continued on page 28 t o d a y ’ s

If You Have Alzheimer’s... If you have Alzheimer’s disease, it’s important to understand that your life is not over; it means dealing with some life changes sooner than you had anticipated. You can live a meaningful and productive life by taking care of your physical and emotional health. Caring for your physical health can improve the quality of your life for years to come. • Get regular checkups. • Take your medication. • Eat healthy food. • Exercise every day. • Rest when you are tired. • Drink less alcohol. After receiving a diagnosis, you may experience a range of emotions, from denial and fear to depression and loneliness. The feelings are normal, but it is important to find ways to cope with them. • Write in a journal about your experiences and feelings. • Join a support group. • Talk to your physician, who can determine if there is an appropriate treatment. • See a counselor. • Talk to a clergy member or other person who can help with your spiritual needs. • Share your feelings with your friends and family. • Do the activities you enjoy as long as you are able. • Participate in the Alzheimer’s Association online community. Share experiences and advice with others on message boards and live chats (Source: Alzheimer’s Association) 28

plan for the future and guides them through legal and medical decisions. “When someone is diagnosed, their first concern is the future. What should I do? Should we sell our home? What kind of care is available? It can just be overwhelming, but it’s something that can lead to devastating consequences if these matters aren’t addressed,” Reynolds said. “That’s where I come in. I do an initial assessment and help them figure out where to go from here. It provides a peace of mind that allows them to continue living without this cloud of worry over their heads.” Attending the Alzheimer Association’s early diagnosis support group, says Mary, was key to moving past the label and on with life. “(He) took the diagnosis pretty well, but what really made it comfortable for him was when we started going to the early diagnosis group. We started to talk about it, hear other people’s stories, and there’s a moderator that helps guide you through the uncomfortable topics — that made it more acceptable. I was surprised by how much help was out there. For us it made an incredible difference,” Mary said. The couple also made friends, and together they’ve formed an informal support group that continues to meet regularly for social outings. In short, the group did just what the Alzheimer’s Association intended with its founding. “The goal,” Cox says, “is to help people get past the initial blow of the diagnosis, through the nitty-gritty of what has to be done and what’s to come, to a place where they understand that the diagnosis is not the end, that there are things that can be done to help them continue living a productive, fulfilling life.”

By Nadyne Lee

hen grandchildren come to visit we try to protect our treasures. But, what do we hold precious? Is it the Murano vase that we purchased in Venice, the crystal goblets that we used on our wedding day, or the porcelain Seder plate that’s been in our family for generations? It makes good sense to tuck away expensive breakables and irreplaceable heirlooms before little ones come to visit. Sometimes, we join the “hide everything in sight” school of grandparents who hightail it through their homes like wild banshees and gather up all breakables before their grandchildren arrive. But these objects are not our real treasures. Too often we worry about what our grandkids will do to our things, when we should worry about what our things will do to our grandkids. Let’s look at some sobering facts:

Poisons: In Your Cabinet and in your Plants

PROTECT YOUR

GRANDKIDS from

Hidden Dangers 30

W I N T E R

2 0 1 1

The number one cause of home-related deaths in children is poisoning. And, more than one-third of fatal childhood poisonings occur in the homes of grandparents! How’s that for a stunning statistic? The most common poisons are grandparent’s medicines found on bedside or kitchen tables. (Where are your medicines?) Our poisons are also found under the kitchen sink (drain openers, furniture polish, and oven cleaners). We must keep medicines and household chemicals completely out of our grandchild’s reach. We can prevent poisoning by installing latches to the insides of drawers and cabinets whenever possible. If this doesn’t work, we can consider emptying the cabinet and making it a spot for toys or pots and pans. Surprise! Grandparents also use poisons to decorate their homes and gardens. What do elephant ear, azalea, iris, and mistletoe all have in common? They are poisonous plants. So are peace lily, oleander, and daffodil. Ingesting some of these plants can be fatal. Consult your favorite nursery and prune poisonous plants from your garden or home. (Also, don’t use rocks or marbles in potting materials or as a ground cover for plants. Toddlers can choke on tempting little marbles.) Tape the poison control number (1.800.222.1222) to every telephone in your home. Put it on speed dial. List it in favorites on your cell. If your grandchild takes poison, chances are that you will be too frantic to look up the number in the phone book. Knowing where the number is will save time and may save a life. The call is free and confidential. The Poison Control Center is staffed by doctors and nurses who are certified poison specialists. They are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. t o d a y ’ s

T R A N S I T I O N S

Drowning: Toilets, Buckets, and Ponds Drowning is the leading cause of death in children who are between the ages of one and four. Little children are fascinated by water. Toddlers who wander into bathrooms are known to drown in toilets. Unfortunately, their bodies are top-heavy and if they topple into the toilet bowl, a toddler cannot get herself out. The same is true for buckets of water in grandpa’s garage. The most common site of drowning is a pond or pools, even with all the supporting ring devices. Children who are about six to eight months old start sitting on their own and thus, grandparents often assume that they can leave the baby alone in the bathtub for a few moments while they answer the phone or the door. In such cases, babies have been known to drown in less than two inches of water. Constant supervision is the only prevention for drowning.

Choking: Around the House and at your Table Choking is a common cause of accidental death among infants under 1 year old. Babies learn about things by examining them with their mouths. Little ones cruise the floor in search of fascinating objects... tiny toys, buttons, beads, coins, and medicines....you name it. If it is within reach, they’ll investigate. Is it hard continued on page 51

Ten Safety Tips 1. Place gates at the top and bottom of stairs. 2. Keep plastic bags and Venetian blind cords away from children. 3. Avoid a shocking experience: cover electrical outlets with safety caps. 4. Secure large screen TV’s, bookshelves, or concrete yard art that might tip over. 5. Guns and grandchildren don’t mix. If you must have a gun in your home, keep it locked away from grandchildren. Keep the gun unloaded and stored separately from ammunition. 6. Never leave an infant or toddler alone with your pet. 7. Don’t buy a four-wheeler for anyone who doesn’t have a driver’s license. Kentucky leads the nation in four-wheeler deaths. 8. Get signed parental permission to authorize you to take your grandchildren to the doctor or emergency room. 9. Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and near bedrooms. 10. Install carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas in your homes.

Bernadette Peters

Louisville Orchestra Pops Series guest artist The second I read Bernadette Peters’ name as a guest artist with the Louisville Orchestra, the chorus to the song Broadway Baby started playing in my mind. In 1967 the singer/dancer/ actress made her Broadway debut in Johnny No-Trump; the following year she starred with Joel Grey in the musical George M, where Peters earned her very first theatrical award (A Theatre World Award) for her memorable portrayal of Josie Cohan. That was also the year Peters received a Drama Desk Award for her show-stopping performance in the smash-hit off-Broadway musical Dames at Sea, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after stars in musical theater. In the ensuing decades the New York native not only became a full-fledged Broadway legend (seven Tony Award nominations with two wins), but also recorded six solo albums. Peters’ stellar career includes that of film actress, having made 17 films to date. Peters’ LO concert date will consist of music from some of her greatest Broadway shows.

Ma Rainey’s Black Botton Actors Theatre of Louisville

Age 62 • Retired Registered Nurse, Volunteer at Kosair Children’s Hospital

A searing drama that pulses with the Blues…the legendary Ma Rainey and her band make music and deals in a 1927 Chicago recording studio as they contend with thwarted ambitions, the demands of their producers, and the stifling realities of a racist culture. Inspired by real-life Mother of the Blues Gertrude “Ma” Rainey,” this groundbreaking work is part of the late August Wilson’s Tony-Award-winning Century Cycle, a series of plays that explores African-American life in the 20th Century. “...It floats on the same authentic artistry as the music it celebrates.” — The New York Times WHEN: January 18-February 13. Various performances WHERE: Actors Theatre of Louisville, 316 West Main St. TICKETS: $34-$48 Contact: 502.584.1205 or www.actorstheatre.org continued on page 58 32

CARING for your AGING LOVED ONES

Q: A:

by Linda Hitt Kempf, RN, LNHA

Linda, mom needs help at home, as she is unable to bathe, cook, and forgets to take her medicine. I am trying to decide whether to hire a private caregiver or to use an agency and need your advice. — Annie

I will share pros and cons briefly and am placing a detailed list of concerns on www.todaystransitions.com. When hiring privately, only consider caregivers your relatives or close friends have used and know are honest and kindhearted. Cost for private caregivers averages $9 to12 per hour and many prefer cash. You should check with an attorney about state laws that affect hiring caregivers privately to protect your liability. Check references thoroughly making certain the names applicants provide as references are not friends or relatives. Disadvantages to private help include performance issues and what to do if they fail to show up, so you’ll need backup plans. Unless you know someone well, be leery and thoroughly investigate the person. Theft, abuse, and exploitation run rampant with caregivers in all states, whether from agencies, in healthcare settings or privately hired. That’s why I advise Granny-Cams everywhere regardless of whether you think you know someone or not. Hide disguised surveillance cameras in radios, stuffed animals, hanging plants, even pencil sharpeners in every room, even shower rooms. Normally inexpensive, some connect to computers, cell phones, and work computers. They’re an investment by identifying abusive care and theft. Sad stories exist. Be proactive. As to hiring an agency, only consider the most reputable ones that you checked out with your state regulatory body (Frankfort in

W I N T E R

2 0 1 1

Kentucky) that licenses staffing agencies by asking which agencies have been terminated, cited, fined, or are under investigation. Check public records to find out if they’ve been sued and why. Always check the Better Business Bureau. Ask for a copy of the agency’s policies for hiring, orientation, how they check references, and do they share findings with the clients. References, police record checks plus abuse registry checks are required for all hires. On-hire drug screens are done in reputable agencies. In addition, find out if they check these requirements annually, on everyone including management and owners. This is helpful in case any employees during the past year were arrested, are on the elder abuse registry, take illegal drugs, or any negative outcomes surface. Agencies legally must bond, insure, check references, comply with workers’ compensation laws, manage deductions, social security, taxes, and comply with their state laws. Cost for agency staff will run more due to all the extras agencies do, averaging $1418 per hour, with $9-10 going to caregivers. Consider agencies eager to share information you request and assure you that if your caregiver cancels or doesn’t show, they guarantee someone within two-hours. This benefit of a backup plan is worth a great deal. If money is no issue, reputable agency help has advantages. The time invested by thoroughly doing your homework before anyone enters a loved one’s home is well worth it. t o d a y ’ s

or soft? sweet or bitter? crunchy or soggy? Anything that will fit into little hands will soon be transferred to open mouths. They’re not picky. Small over-looked objects can get into their tiny airway passages and cause babies to choke. So, not only must we be super-Nanny, we must also be super-clean! Another word of warning...until your grandchild is over the age of five, avoid serving foods that could get stuck in her throat, such as popcorn, grapes, nuts, hard candies, and cut-up hotdogs, etc. These foods are just about the shape of a toddlers air passage and they could form a cork-sized obstruction in your grandchild’s airway.

Burns: Stoves and Hot Liquids Speaking of serving food, our stoves can be a big hazard to our grandkids. Children can get burned by the hot food on the stove top. Use the back burners when cooking and turn handles away from the front of the stove. Cooking with grandma can be a wonderful memory for grandchildren. When cooking with the grandkids, let them measure, stir, and pour, but when the food gets hot, adult hands need to take over. Hot liquids can burn a baby worse than an adult. A baby’s skin is thinner, softer, and more sensitive than adult skin. So, don’t drink hot tea or coffee when you’re holding your grandbaby. Be sure that the bath water is not too hot! To be absolutely safe, the hot water heater should be set at 120 degrees.

Household Dangers Appliances in our homes pose their own safety hazards. In addition to opening the oven and getting burned, our grandchildren might open the dishwasher and pull out a knife and get cut, or pull unsafe items out of the refrigerator. An appliance latch or lock can help you to secure all of these kitchen appliances.

There is no tragedy greater than the loss of a child or a grandchild. No heartache compares to the suffering of a bereaved parent or grandparent. That anguish is made much worse if the loss was preventable. “Grandchild-proofing” our home doesn’t prevent broken things, it prevents broken hearts. w w w . t o d a y s t r a n s i t i o n s . c o m

Weekend Comedy Derby Dinner Playhouse

#4 Manuel Álvarez Bravo Selections

Speed Art Museum Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002) is considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. The selections from the collection at the Speed Art Museum represent samples of his work ranging from the late 1920s to the late the 1970s. Like other Mexican artists of his time, Álvarez Bravo was influenced by the influx of international artists, filmmakers, and writers joining the thriving artistic community in postrevolutionary Mexico City. WHEN: running through April 24 WHERE: Speed Art Museum TICKETS: FREE Contact: 502.634.2700. *Museum closed Mondays and Tuesdays. 58 W I N T E R 2 0 1 1

One couple is staid and middleaged; the other free-wheeling and young. After accidentally renting the same Catskills cabin for the same weekend the two couples decide to spend the weekend there together. Before the weekend is over the ‘youngsters’ have learned how to add stability to their relationship and the oldsters have learned to loosen up. DDP’s Producing/Artistic Director/Co-Owner Bekki Jo Schneider comments: “This comedy provides funny moments as the two couples talk about love and friendship from each perspective.” The cast includes longtime DDP actors David Myers and Janet Essenpreis. WHEN: January 11 through February 20. Various performances WHERE: Derby Dinner Playhouse TICKETS: $33-$42. Contact: 812.288.8281 or www. derbydinner.com **Handicapped Accessible. t o d a y ’ s
