Captioned Telephone

HELPS CONNECTION DESPITE HEARING LOSS by Amy Mueller

Hearing loss can make talking on the phone difficult, but CapTel® captioned telephone helps those with hearing loss stay in touch over the phone. If you’re living with hearing loss, you aren’t alone. Nearly one in three adults between 65 and 74 years old has some degree of hearing loss, while nearly one-half of adults 75+ report being hard of hearing. One of the most common concerns for people with hearing loss is staying connected with friends and family, especially over the phone. MARCH–AUGUST 2022 JOURNEY OF AGING

Whether you want to stay in touch with faraway family members, schedule a doctor’s appointment, or plan brunch with a friend, telephone communication is key. If you can’t hear well over the phone, it’s difficult to make plans, and many hard-of-hearing people start avoiding phone conversations out of sheer frustration. Research has shown that social interaction is also an important factor in staying healthy for older adults.

Social isolation can lead to loneliness and depression. But older adults who stay in touch with friends and family are more likely to have lower blood pressure and a possible reduced risk of some types of cancer, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular problems. Staying connected is also important for the mental health of older adults. Fortunately, CapTel is available to help people with hearing loss stay connected and enjoy the telephone again.

CapTel captioned telephone works like any other phone, but it allows users to read captions of what their calls say similar to the way you read captions on television. This lets users support the hearing ability they have by reading captions on the screen to make sure they catch every word the caller says. When a person wants to make a phone call, they just press the captions button on their CapTel phone to be connected to a captioning service at no cost. Then they simply dial the number of the person being called. The call is carried out like any other phone conversation, except that the CapTel user can read what the other person is saying on the phone’s display screen. CapTel captioned telephones allow those with hearing loss to stay in touch with their family and friends and, in doing so, maintain their independence and confidence over the phone.

who benefited from the change. She says, “My children are overjoyed, and so are my grandchildren. It’s made me be independent, and I think that’s what everyone wants. To be independent.”

“When I first got CapTel, I was just calling all over to talk to people I hadn’t been able to talk to before,” says Helen Rizzi. “When they call me, I can see everything that they say.”

Another CapTel user’s daughter wrote, “I can’t tell you how much that phone means to my mother. It gives her security and independence. I tell you, I’m your biggest cheerleader because it keeps her in the loop and makes her feel so good to be part of the communications in our family. It’s wonderful, just wonderful for her.”

CapTel gives you the confidence to talk on the phone knowing you’ll catch every word. But Helen isn’t the only one

CapTel offers different model phones to match individual lifestyles. All CapTel phones include a large display screen, adjustable font sizes and colors, and a built-in answering machine that displays captions of voice messages. Captioning services are available 24/7. If you or someone you know is living with hearing loss, a CapTel captioned telephone can make a world of difference. To learn more about CapTel, visit captel.com.

Universal Design Principles

WILL OPTIMIZE YOUR LIVING SPACE by Chad Speight

Universal Design supports aging in place gracefully for family members and accommodations for guests who are physically challenged in some way by incorporating common sense solutions for better living. The idea is to create spaces that are easier and safer to live in, allowing all occupants to maintain maximum mobility and independence. When considering the function and design of your living spaces, it’s helpful to review the 7 Principles of Universal Design as articulated by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). MARCH–AUGUST 2022 JOURNEY OF AGING

Principle 1: Equitable Use Design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.

Principle 2: Flexibility in Use

regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities.

Principle 5: Tolerance for Error

Design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.

Design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.

Principle 3: Simple and Intuitive Use

Principle 6: Low Physical Effort

Use of design is easy to understand regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.

Design can be used efficiently and comfortably with minimal fatigue.

Principle 4: Perceptible Information

Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of the user’s body size, posture, or mobility.

Design communicates necessary information effectively to the user

Principle 7: Size and Space for Approach and Use

ESSENTIAL PREPARATION | 31 For example, to incorporate Universal Design principles in your bathroom, access should be as barrier free as possible. A main level floor full bathroom versus a powder room is desirable for long-term accessibility. The best option is usually a zero-clearance threshold shower with niches for storage and a secured seat option. Properly designed and installed, these showers can turn the entire room into a waterproofed area—even an overflowing toilet will simply flow down the shower drain.

The double sink floating vanity with single-handle lever faucets was specifically designed for an aging client with mobility challenges.

Toilets can have automatic flushing mechanisms and should be situated in the larger space area versus a separate enclosed space to allow someone to assist from one side if needed. A chairheight, or comfort-height, toilet or bidet is an excellent option that requires less bending to use and is easier to get on and off of. Faucets and valves with twist handles should be replaced with single-handle levers or single-handle shower control for better manipulation. They should also be positioned for easy reach and control. A handheld shower on a vertical bar provides excellent height control and flexibility in showering options.

blocked from the inside. Lever door handles and illuminated rocker light switches are easier to see and handle for all ages. Select a sink vanity with a readily accessible height and plan for essential item storage within easy reach. Floating vanities can be an ideal option to allow for positioning the sink at the best height and providing space to maneuver around and under. Ensure closed storage areas have functional and decorative door and drawer handles for easier access to contents.

Remember to consider safety first. Grab bars are available in many styles/ finishes for seamless integration into a stylish bath design. It’s prudent to install blocking for grab bars when building or remodeling even if you don’t plan on installing them just yet. Surfaces should be easy to clean and durable. Take care in selecting nonslip flooring (especially where surfaces can get wet) and properly installing the flooring material to prevent trip hazards or obstacles for mobility devices.

Technology helps boost access when combined with Universal Design principles. A humidity-sensing bath vent can be a smart addition since the fan can turn on and off automatically to stop moisture from accumulating and help prevent mold. Lighting should be designed for both general access and specific tasks. Think in terms of layering your lighting with good general lighting, bright task lighting for self-care, and easy to engage low-light options for dark interior spaces or late-night usage.

If possible, the floorplan should allow for a threshold-free, wide-access doorway into the space (36-inch minimum is optimal) and enough room to turn around a mobility-assistance device. A pocket door or outward swing door can allow for better access if the door were to be accidentally

A NARI-certified Universal Design Certified Professional (UDCP) goes through extensive training to properly interview clients, consider their unique needs, and integrate Universal Design seamlessly into remodeling projects. Your renovated space should be physically durable, functional, and

accessible. Ensure that the company helping you update your home has a UDCP or similarly certified staff professional to support your long-term investment. When you incorporate Universal Design into your living spaces, you ensure that everyone—regardless of age, size, or ability—can live safely, comfortably, and effectively in your home.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

to Reduce Food Waste by Andy Gricevich

Read up on food waste in the United States and you may be shocked. Our nation leads the world in the quantity of food that ends up in the garbage. It’s estimated that 80 billion pounds of food per year—between 30 and 40 percent of the national supply—goes to waste, and the majority of that food is still edible! In a society plagued by food insecurity in many communities, the loss of such MARCH–AUGUST 2022 JOURNEY OF AGING

abundance signals clear ethical and economic problems. Food waste is also a very serious ecological issue. When food gets discarded, the resources required to produce, process, and ship it are effectively squandered. Once it’s in the landfill, food waste produces a number of the primary greenhouse gases involved in global climate change. It also releases large quantities of nitrogen, which runs off

into watersheds, encouraging blooms of algae that choke streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Here in Dane County, around 20 percent of what goes into landfills is food waste, and we’re in an important spot on the continent for water. Truly solving the problem will mean big changes in our food system, market economy, and society. As individual eaters, there’s a lot we

GENERAL | 35

can do to minimize food waste in our own lives.

soups and stews is also easy, as long as you remember they’re there.

Plan Ahead

Home Composting

The simplest step may be the most effective, and also the hardest for many of us to do: plan meals and eat leftovers. Having a plan for the ingredients we buy helps us use everything that goes into the fridge. Planning for particular types of dishes can make this easier; just about anything, including last night’s leftovers, can go into omelets, soups, stews, pasta dishes, and stir-fries.

It’s pretty easy for many individuals and households to get started with composting as well. A home compost pile is a much better destination for fruit and vegetable matter, coffee grounds, and eggshells than the landfill. Learn more about composting at cityofmadison.com/streets/compost.

For soups and stews, it’s nice to have some good stock or broth on hand as well. That can be from a box or you can easily make your own. Just keep a freezer bag or tupperware container in the freezer; whenever you have vegetable scraps or animal bones, toss them in. When the container fills up, dump it into a pot, cover with water, add some salt, and simmer. After your meal, freeze the leftovers in jars or other containers (this, of course, adds thawing the stock to your meal planning). Freezing leftover

Sell By—Use By We’d also end up wasting a lot less food if we adopt a more skeptical attitude toward those dates on the packaged foods we buy. Remember that the requirements and recommendations for these dates, while based on conscientious efforts to promote food safety, are very conservative, and “best by” is distinct from “sell by” and “use by.” For foods without expiration dates, your senses and your ingenuity are enough to go on. A fruit that’s developed some darker spots won’t kill you, and in some cases, that’s a sign of

the most perfect flavor. There’s nothing dangerous about slightly wilted greens or carrots.

What We Buy What we choose to buy is also a factor in food-waste reduction. Local produce will generally be fresher and less subject to damage over the course of multiple stages of storage and shipping than product grown far away. Buying whole chickens, rather than packages of breasts, guarantees that none of an animal will go to waste, and going for less popular cuts contributes to a similar goal. We can also consciously choose products that may be less visually perfect but have lost none of their genuine flavors, textures, or nutrition, stepping up to the challenge of changing the aesthetics of the ways we value food. Food may be a huge industry, but it’s still very much dependent on the choices of individuals, and because we all have to eat, every one of us is faced with those choices in stores, at restaurants, and at home. Together, we can do a lot to help solve the problem of food waste, moving our food system toward a place of balance with nature and participation in collective well-being.

Randy Groth plays pickleball at Harriet Park at 414 Mary Lou Street In Verona, WI.

PICKLEBALL:

FUNNY NAME, SERIOUS FUN by Beth Johnson

If you’ve recently driven past your local tennis courts and done a double take noticing the people on the courts aren’t playing tennis, you’re not alone in asking, “What are they doing?” They’re playing pickleball, one of the fastest-growing sports around. It’s a combination of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton. Due to its booming popularity, some cities are even reconfiguring their tennis courts into pickleball courts.

Verona converted its tennis courts at Harriet Park at 414 Mary Lou Street into pickleball courts in 2021. Pickleball is played on a court the size of a badminton court with a net about two inches lower than a tennis net using what look like oversized pingpong paddles and a wiffle-type ball. Very little equipment is needed to play, which is just one reason people

are attracted to the sport. The court is smaller than a tennis court, so some people gravitate to pickleball because of the lower physical strain. It’s known for its ease of learning and appeal to all ages, offering a multigenerational activity grandparents can even play with their grandchildren. The main point of pickleball is to hit the ball back and forth over a net.

HEALTH | 51 It’s really that simple. The majority of the game is played close to the net, meaning less time running around and longer rallies. With even a basic understanding of the game, anyone can start to play immediately without lessons. The sport is not about power or speed exclusively. It’s a sport of strategy and patience.

Why did you start playing pickleball?

Many people are drawn to the sport because of its social atmosphere and camaraderie. Teammates and opponents are physically closer to one another on a smaller court, making for great interaction, jokes and wisecracks, and encouragement between competitors. In fact, it’s considered customary to commend your opponent’s shot in the middle of a game.

Why do you think it has become so popular?

LYNN: I was invited to play by a friend I golf with. I love to get exercise doing something fun and thought I’d give it a try.

KAREN: We like to stay active and heard it was a great fun way to exercise.

LYNN: As you get older, it’s harder to play the sports we loved as kids. Pickleball can be fun and competitive and is easier on the body than other active sports. You still get a good workout, but you don’t have to do a lot of running.

KAREN: It’s less stressful than tennis Lynn and Karen are both new to the sport. Here’s what they say:

When did you start playing pickleball? LYNN: I just started playing pickleball

and easier on the joints. It’s also a good activity for couples. It’s a very inexpensive sport. All you need is a pickleball paddle, a couple of pickleballs, and an opponent.

during the summer of 2021.

How hard is it to learn?

KAREN: We started playing in August

LYNN: It’s pretty easy to learn the basic

2021, so we’re fairly new at this.

rules, and most people are very good at

helping you out along the way. There’s definitely strategy to the game, and that just takes playing more to understand and improve. If you play with people who are willing to teach, they can help with keeping score and correcting you as you play, keeping it fun.

KAREN: Not hard at all. Of course there’s always YouTube to learn the rules of the game. Lots of community recreational departments offer lessons. The rules are fairly simple: if you serve, you’re the only one who can score; otherwise you lose the serve, and the other person gets a chance to score. First one to reach 11 points with a twopoint lead wins. The court design is easy to understand.

What kind of shape do you have to be in to play? LYNN: I would say you need to be in medium shape to play. Like I said earlier, it’s not all that much running, but there is exertion to the point where one can work up a good sweat. I would recommend anyone to just try playing. I like the competition, but others may want to play just for fun. Either way it gets you moving, which is good for our health.

KAREN: Anyone can play. The intensity of the play can be adapted to the players. The court is smaller than a tennis court, so there’s not as much running.

PALLIATIVE CARE A specialized area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients. Unlike hospice care, palliative medicine is appropriate for patients in all stages, including those undergoing treatment for curable illnesses and those living with chronic diseases, as well as patients who are nearing the end of life. Palliative medicine utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, relying on input from allied health professionals in formulating a plan of care to relieve suffering in all areas of a patient’s life. Palliative programs may vary according to the provider. Check the Retirement Housing & Long-Term Care

Choosing Emergency OR URGENT CARE by Tina Strandlie, RN

When you or a loved one is experiencing a sudden illness or injury, it can be confusing to know where to get care. If you’re like most people, you’d rather avoid an unnecessary trip to the hospital ER.

Urgent Care This rapidly growing area of healthcare provides easy access to care with typically shorter wait times than busy emergency departments. In fact, Stoughton Health opened our MARCH–AUGUST 2022 JOURNEY OF AGING

McFarland Urgent Care Clinic last year in addition to our Oregon and Stoughton locations, and other healthcare providers are responding similarly. Urgent care is designed to treat urgent medical needs that are not life threatening, but still require prompt attention. Urgent care clinics are frequently open during the day, but also in the evening and weekends when your doctor’s office is closed. They’re

intended to fill the gap between care provided by your physician’s office hours and the emergency department. Typical minor illnesses or injuries that are appropriate for urgent care include: • • • • •

Ear pain Eye irritation Fever or flu Minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises Minor broken bones and fractures (i.e. fingers, toes)

HEALTH | 59

If you’re like most people, you’d rather avoid an unnecessary trip to the hospital ER.

• • • • •

Skin rashes and infections Sore throat or cough Sprains and strains Urinary burning Vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration

Urgent care is not intended to replace the services of your family physician.

Emergency Care For patients with symptoms that may indicate a life-threatening illness or injury. Some examples of these are: • Alcohol or drug intoxication or overdose • Amputations or severe lacerations • Bone fractures • Facial or eye trauma • Fever in newborn (less than 3 months old) • Gunshot or knife wounds • Heavy, uncontrolled bleeding • Loss of consciousness • Moderate to severe burns • Poisoning • Pregnancy-related problems • Seizures or convulsions • Serious head, neck, or back injury • Severe abdominal pain • Severe chest pain

• Severe headache • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Signs of heart attack or stroke • Suicidal or homicidal feelings Emergency care is provided in hospitals or, in some cases, standalone emergency care facilities and are open 24/7.

Level of Care If you go to a hospital that offers both emergency and urgent care services, such as Stoughton Hospital, the staff will first conduct a preliminary assessment to determine the appropriate level of care. This assessment is made based on the presenting symptoms, and charges are based on the level of care needed and delivered. For example, if the doctor feels you need to have an EKG, ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan to help diagnose your problem, this would likely make your visit an emergency care visit.

Virtual Care or Nurse Call Line Additional healthcare options, such as virtual visits and nurse call lines,

are becoming more common to help patients receive care or healthcare advice from the comfort of their own home. Virtual visits are an extension of urgent care services, allowing a patient to see a healthcare provider through a secure online website or patient portal for nonemergency care. The nurse call lines are a resource to answer patient questions. They can help a patient decide if they need to see their doctor or seek other care. Whatever type of care you need, emergency or urgent, please remember that patients are treated according to the severity of their illness or injury. There may be times when patients with non-life-threatening injuries may be asked to wait while the more seriously ill receive care.

Tina Strandlie, RN is registered nurse and the manager of emergency services with Stoughton Health.

Don’t Put That in Your Mouth PET POISON AWARENESS by Lisa Bernard

“The biggest things we hear from pet owners is that they didn’t know something was toxic or they didn’t realize how a small amount of something could be problematic,” says Dr. Erica Hellestad, veterinarian and owner at Whole Pet Veterinary Clinic in Madison. In fact, there are many items in your home that could be problematic for your pets. Whole Pet Veterinary Clinic receives one to two calls per week about possible pet toxicity, but, depending on what and how much was ingested, not every case needs treatment. Typically, the clinic sees younger dogs and cats for pet poisoning because

MARCH–AUGUST 2022 JOURNEY OF AGING

they’re more likely to get into things. “Dogs are more likely to ingest things they shouldn’t,” says Erica. While medications and food seem to be the bigger vices for dogs, plants tend to be the most common culprit for cats. When a pet suffers from poisoning, you may see such signs as vomiting, lethargy or excitability, and twitching.

Whatever your pet ingested, Erica advises pet parents “please be honest with your vet. Things like marijuana toxicity have some pretty classic symptoms, and it saves a lot of time (and likely money) if you’re honest with us up front versus us having to guess at what’s going on.”

If you’re not sure about the toxicity of the item your pet ingested, call the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) hotline at (888) 426-4435 or your veterinarian.

Top Toxic Offenders Each year, the APCC compiles a list of the most commonly reported pet toxins. The top two in 2020 were over-the-counter medications and human prescription medications, respectively.

SAFE & HEALTHY AT HOME | 79 “The biggest things we hear from pet owners is that they didn’t know something was toxic or they didn’t realize how a small amount of something could be problematic.”

To protect your pet from these dangers, keep human medications in childproof packaging in a closed cupboard your pet cannot reach. If you have medication in a purse or backpack, either keep the bag out of your pet’s reach or make sure the medicine is in a securely closed pocket of the bag. “Don’t give human meds to pets without guidance from your vet,” Erica adds. Human food ranks third on APCC’s list, with chocolate taking the fourth spot. Because the APCC handles so many cases involving chocolate exposure— nearly 76 cases per day—it earned its own spot on the list. “Lots of people are unaware something like a pack of sugar free gum can cause

big problems,” says Erica. Gum, as well as some candies, peanut butters, and baked goods, contain the sweetener xylitol. Xylitol can cause insulin release that can lead to liver failure within days, according to the ASPCA. Plants can add life and color to a room, but for some pets, they can become a stomach-upsetting temptation. “There are a lot of plants that can cause a bit of GI upset but aren’t truly toxic,” says Erica. “[However,] lilies are incredibly toxic to cats—even just ingesting some pollen can put them into kidney failure. Best to not have them in the house at all.” Make sure you check the plant’s toxicity before bringing it home or keep it in a room that your pets don’t access.

When cleaning your home, make sure the area cleaned is dry to the touch before allowing pets access to the area. Just because a cleaner says it’s “all natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe for pets. “Fumes and scents can be problematic for our pets too; they have a much more sensitive sense of smell,” says Erica. “Cats are really sensitive to certain essential oils used in some cleaners.” Depending on the oil’s concentration, essential oil diffusers could pose issues for your pet as well. But, according to the APCC, using an oil diffuser for a short period in an area your pet doesn’t access shouldn’t be an issue. Overall, the best practice in dealing with possible pet poisoning situations is prevention. Take a careful look around your house to identify potential problem items and take steps to pet proof your home.
