ESTATE PLANNING AND ADVANCE DIRECTIVES

The Most Important Documents You Will Ever Need The most important gift you can give your family is to plan for your future. Unfortunately, no one knows what will happen tomorrow so it is vitally important to establish an estate plan and execute advance directives.

WILLS AND TRUSTS

Your Last Will and Testament or Trust allows you to indicate in writing who you want to receive your estate when you pass away.

Living Will Indicates the types of medical treatments and life sustaining measures you want and don’t want.

Most families with a modest income will be well served by a Last Will and Testament, however, many people choose to establish a trust for their estate.

Durable Power of Attorney Allows someone of your choosing to literally “step into your shoes” and make financial decisions for you.

There are many misconceptions about what a trust can do. Various options are available, so do your research or ask a trusted advisor and make an informed decision.

Health Care Surrogate Designation Allows the person you choose to provide informed consent for medical treatment, surgical and diagnostic procedures in the event that you are incapacitated.

Without these documents, the State of Florida will determine who receives your estate.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES

Advance Directives are legal documents that allow you to communicate our preferences in the event that you cannot speak for yourself. 12

Pre-Need Guardian Designation In the event of your incapacity, this document indicates to the court who you would want to serve as your guardian. Give your family the very important gift of planning for your future.

HOME CARE PROVIDERS - DEFINITIONS ADULT DAY CARE CENTER / DAY STAY

Adult day care centers provide programs and services for adults who need a protective setting during the day. An adult day care center can be a freestanding program or services can be offered through a nursing home, assisted living facility, or hospital. The basic services include, but are not limited to: social activities, self-care training, nutritional meals, a place to rest, and respite care.

HOMEMAKER AND COMPANION SERVICES

Homemaker and companion companies provide housekeeping, prepare and serve meals, help with shopping, routine household chores, companionship in the client’s home, and can take the client to appointments and other outings. By law, homemakers and companions may not provide handson personal care, such as help with bathing, and cannot give medications.

HOME HEALTH AGENCY

A home health agency provides services to patients in private homes, assisted living facilities, and adult family care homes. Some of the services include nursing care; physical, occupational, respiratory, and speech therapy; home health aides; homemaker and companions; and medical equipment and supplies. Along with services in the home, an agency can also provide staffing services in nursing homes and hospitals.

HOME CARE PROVIDERS - DEFINITIONS HOME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT PROVIDER

A home medical equipment provider sells or rents medical equipment and services for use in the home. This includes any product as defined by the Federal Drug Administration’s Drugs, Devices and Cosmetics Act; any products reimbursed under the Medicare Part B Durable Medical Equipment benefits; or any products reimbursed under the Medicaid durable medical equipment program. Service includes managing the equipment and teaching consumers in its use. Services can include Respiratory Equipment, Mobility Aids, Ambulatory Aids, Sickroom Setup and Disposable Supplies.

They provide a coordinated program of professional services, including pain management and counseling for patients; nursing, physician, therapy, and social work services; counseling and support for family members and friends of the patient; and other support services.

NURSE REGISTRY

A nurse registry acts as an employment agency between an individual patient and nurses, nursing assistants, home health aides, companions and homemakers for services in the patient’s home. Nurse registries also provide temporary staff for nursing homes, hospitals, and other businesses. Each individual health care worker is an independent contractor and is not a direct employee of the nurse registry.

RESPITE CARE

Respite care is a short stay (normally not more than two weeks) that allows the home caregiver a break from caring for someone who needs constant supervision (24 hours a day). 15

SENIOR HOUSING - DEFINITIONS ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY - SPECIALTY LICENSES

Assisted Living Facilities provide full-time living arrangements in the least restrictive and most home-like setting. The basic services include, but are not limited to: housing and nutritional meals; help with the activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, eating, walking, physical transfer, giving medications or helping residents give themselves medications; arrange for health care services; provide or arrange for transportation to health care services; health monitoring; respite care; and social activities. Before signing a contract with an assisted living facility, ask what special services and activities are available for persons with dementia. You will also want to know if the staff is trained to handle the special needs of residents with dementia and what equipment is utilized to assure that the resident does not wander off. Extended Congregate Care (ECC) An ALF with ECC beds may keep residents who become frailer than would normally be permitted in order for the resident to age in place. For example the facility can provide total help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, and can provide or arrange for rehabilitative services, along with other services. However, this does not include 24hour nursing services. Limited Mental Health (LMH) An ALF with this license can provide limited mental health services. This type of license must be obtained if an assisted living facility serves three or more mental health residents. Services must be provided for the special needs of these residents, along with the basic services of an assisted living facility. A facility with a limited mental health license must consult with the resident and the resident’s mental health case manager to develop and carry out a community living support plan. Limited Nursing Services (LNS) An ALF with this license offers some limited nursing services as defined by law, but does not include 24-hour nursing supervision.

21


SENIOR HOUSING - DEFINITIONS ADULT FAMILY CARE HOME (AFCH)

Adult Family Care Homes provide full-time, family-type living in a private home for up to five elderly persons or adults with a disability, who are not related to the owner. The owner lives in the same house as the residents. The basic services include, but are not limited to: housing and nutritional meals; help with the activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, eating, walking, physical transfer, giving medications or helping residents give themselves medications; supervision of residents; arrange for health care services; provide or arrange for transportation to health care services; health monitoring; and social activities.

CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES (CCRCS)

These communities offer different levels of care based on what the CCRC offers and the needs of the resident. A CCRC has independent living apartments or houses and a nursing home, and some include an assisted living facility. Residents pay an entrance fee plus monthly fees and can move from independent living to assisted living (if available) to the nursing home, based on their needs.

INDEPENDENT SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES

Also known as retirement communities, senior living communities or independent retirement communities, are housing designed for seniors 55 and older. Independent senior living communities commonly provide apartments but some also offer cottages, condominiums, and single-family homes. Residents are seniors who do not require assistance with daily activities or 24/7 skilled nursing but may benefit from convenient services, senior-friendly surroundings, and increased social opportunities that independent senior living communities offer. Many retirement communities offer dining services, basic housekeeping and laundry services, transportation to appointments and errands, activities, social programs, and access to exercise equipment. Some also offer emergency alert systems, live-in managers, and amenities like pools, spas, clubhouses, and onsite beauty and barber salons.

Before signing a contract with an assisted living facility, ask what special services and activities are available for persons with dementia. You will also want to know if the staff is trained to handle the special needs of residents with dementia and what equipment is utilized to assure that the resident does not wander off.

NURSING HOME (SNF)

A Nursing Home provides nursing, personal, custodial, and rehabilitative care. Nursing homes, sometimes called Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF), are freestanding, which means they are not part of a hospital. Special Programs and Services may include: 24hour RN coverage; adult day care; Alzheimer’s care; Dialysis; Eden Alternative; HIV care; Hospice care; JCAHO (Joint Commission) accredited dementia care, long-term care program, and sub-acute care program; pediatric; pet therapy; respite care; therapeutic spa; tracheotomy; ventilator dependent; water therapy; weight training; and yoga.

SUBSIDIZED HOUSING

Subsidized means government programs help cover part of the rent. The subsidized apartment complexes are for low-income people and some are specifically designed for the elderly or for people with disabilities. Most of the subsidized housing offer few services beyond an on-site manager and maybe vans to take residents shopping. Some may provide more services although they are not required to do so. Residents usually prepare meals in their own apartments. For more information contact your local housing authority.

MOVING A LOVED ONE

What to Do When Helping a Loved One Move Moving is usually a stressful and emotional experience, regardless of age or situation. Moving in the later stage of life, however, can be very difficult, especially if independence is being sacrificed and the family home is being left behind. Caregivers can help make this transition much more pleasant for their loved one—or they can make it much, much harder. Learning to walk the line between keeping momentum and taking over is critical. Here is a list of what to do when helping your loved one move.

PREPARATION FOR THE MOVE: DOWNSIZING • Begin downsizing well in advance of the move. • Include your parent or loved one in the downsizing process. This is their stuff, after all. • Let your parent or loved one come to their own decisions about what to keep, what to donate and what to toss. • Start the downsizing process in

26

rooms used the least. This will help prevent overwhelming the rest of the house with the excess clutter and potential mess. • Start with the biggest items in the room first and move down in size from there. This will help encourage progress and will get larger items out of the way, making room for sorting, cleaning, packing and organizing. • Plan the division of assets in advance if your parent or loved


• Take note of the history and stories behind any special items. • Give your parent or loved one the time to share these, as they will prove invaluable when passed on to other family members. • Have a system in place for what is being kept, donated, passed down and thrown away. If your parent or loved one is able, they can begin doing this well in advance of the move to expedite the process • Sort a little at a time.

MOVING DAY • If possible, plan lunch or an outing of some kind for your loved one during the move. The activity of the day can be awfully stressful and providing them with a little normalcy may go a long way in getting them settled. • Stop at the grocery store the night before so you can stock the fridge for your loved one so they’re not running out late into the night for provisions. • Duplicate the layout of their old residence in the new space, as best as possible. • Set up your loved one’s bed, bathroom and kitchen first. Put everything in the same spot as it was in the old house, if possible. If water glasses were always in the

cabinet closest to the refrigerator, duplicate that in the new space so your loved one knows where to go to find his or her stuff. • Set up a dim lamp or night light in key spaces of the house so your loved one can find their way to the bathroom or kitchen in the middle of the night. • Include normalcy in the day. If your loved one has a particular routine he or she follows before bed—or any time during the day— ensure that things are set up to allow for this process.

• Take any pets into account. Many go through separation anxiety during a move. If your loved one has a pet, unpack his toys, bed, food and bowls as soon as possible and arrange them where they were set up in the old house, if possible. • Be patient, flexible and understanding. Not everything will go as planned and, chances are, you and your loved one will grate on each other’s nerves. Take it in stride. This is a very difficult time for them and you need to be as supportive as possible. • Understand that this may be extremely emotional for your loved one. Give them the time and space they need to grieve and help them through this transition with as much kindness and sincerity as possible. Reference Source: www.aarp.org

If you have Medicare, you can protect your identity and help prevent health care fraud by guarding your Medicare card like you would a credit card. Identity theft from stolen Medicare numbers is becoming more common. Medicare helped by removing Social Security numbers from Medicare cards and replacing them with a new, unique number for each person with Medicare. This decreases your vulnerability to medical and/or identity theft.

FEATURED ARTICLE

TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR MEDICARE IDENTITY

Here are some important steps you can take to protect yourself from the identity theft that can lead to health care fraud: • Don’t share or confirm your Medicare or Social Security number with anyone who contacts you by telephone, email, or in person, unless you’ve given them permission in advance. Medicare will NEVER contact you (unless you ask them to) to ask for your Medicare number or other personal information or to send you a new card. Medicare already has your information. • Don’t ever let anyone borrow or pay to use your Medicare number. • Review your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) to be sure you and Medicare are only being charged for actual items and services received. • If someone calls you and asks for your Medicare number or other personal information, hang up and call your local Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Northwest Florida Area Agency on Aging (850) 494-7101. How can I replace my Medicare card? If you need to replace your card because it’s damaged or lost, visit Medicare. gov to log into (or create) a secure Medicare account where you can print an official copy of your Medicare card. If you don’t have an account, visit medicare.gov/account/login to create one. If you need to replace your card because you think that someone else is using your number, call the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) 1-800-955-8770 and 1-800-Medicare.

ALZHEIMER’S CAREGIVING TIPS

Strategies for Success

1. Educate yourself about the disease. Read books, attend workshops and consult with healthcare professionals. Subscribe to free caregiver magazines. Avoid caregiver burnout. Make time for you. Join caregiver support groups and discussion boards. Pursue interests beyond your caregiving role, such as exercise, hobbies, journaling and art. Visit www. carecrossroads.org to see minidocumentaries featuring family caregivers and to read caregivers’ creative contributions. 2. Learn caregiving techniques. Key areas are communication skills, safety concerns, and managing behavioral challenges and activities of daily living. 3. Understand the experience of your loved one. Adjust your expectations. Be patient and kind. 4. Avoid caregiver burnout. Make time for yourself. Join caregiver support groups. Pursue other interests beyond your caregiving role, such as exercise, hobbies, journaling and art. 5. Maintain your own physical and mental health. Exercise, respite and other activities can reduce stress. Seek medical help if there are signs of depression. 6. Discuss the situation with family and friends. Support systems are critical.

7. Do cognitive stimulation activities with your loved one. Listening to music, word puzzles and memory games can easily be done at home. 8. Foster communication with physicians. Be involved in your loved one's medical care. Ask questions about the progression of the disease, express concerns and discuss treatment options. 9. Take care of financial, legal and long-term care planning issues. Try to involve your loved one in decision-making, if they are still capable of providing input, and consider their wishes related to future care and end-of-life issues. 10. Smile. Kindness, humor and creativity are essential parts of caregiving. Hugs, hand massage and other gentle physical contact will help your loved one feel connected and loved. 11. Think positive. Focus on your loved one's remaining strengths and enjoy your relationship while you are still able to. 12. Reach out for care. Call the Alzheimer's Foundation of America 866-232-8484, for counseling, information and referrals to local resources nationwide.

WHAT IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? High blood pressure usually doesn’t have any signs— that’s why it’s so dangerous. Make sure you get it checked regularly and treat it the way your doctor advises.

Another name for high blood pressure (HBP) is hypertension (hi-per-TEN-shun). High blood pressure means the pressure in your arteries is elevated. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. It’s written as two numbers, such as 112/78 mm Hg. The top, systolic, number is the pressure when the heart beats. The bottom, diastolic, number is the pressure when the heart rests between beats. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80. If you’re an adult and your systolic pressure is 120 to 139, or your diastolic pressure is 80 to 89 (or both), then you have “prehypertension.” High blood pressure is a pressure of 140 systolic or higher and/or 90 diastolic or higher that stays high over time. No one knows exactly what causes most cases of high blood pressure. It usually can’t be cured, but it can be controlled. High blood pressure usually has no symptoms. It is truly a “Silent Killer.” About 50 million Americans

40

and 1 in 4 adults have it, and many don’t even know they have it. Not treating high blood pressure is dangerous. High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. You can live a healthier life if you treat and control it!

WHO IS AT HIGHER RISK?

• People with close blood relatives who have HBP • African Americans • People over 35 • People who aren’t physically active • People who use too much salt • People who drink too much alcohol • People with diabetes, gout and kidney disease • Pregnant women • Women who take birth control pills who are overweight, had HBP during pregnancy, have a family history of HBP or have mild kidney disease

HOW CAN I TELL IF I HAVE IT?

You usually can’t tell! Many people have it and don’t know it. The only way to know if your blood pressure is too high is to get it checked regularly by your doctor.

HOW CAN MEDICINE HELP?

• Some medicines, such as vasodilators, help relax and open up your blood vessels so blood can flow through better. • A diuretic (di-uh-RET-ik) can help keep your body from holding too much water and salt.

STROKE, TIA AND WARNING SIGNS Stroke occurs when a blood vessel bringing blood and oxygen to the brain gets blocked by a clot or ruptures. When this happens, brain cells don’t get the blood and oxygen that they need to survive. This causes nerve cells to stop working and die within minutes. Then, the part of the body they control are affected. The effects of stroke may be permanent depending on how many cells die, where they are in the brain, and other factors. Strokes can cause weakness (paralysis), affect language and vision, and cause other problems. Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of serious, longterm disability in America.

WHAT IS A TIA?

TIA, or transient ischemic attack, is a “warning” stroke that occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery for a short time. The symptoms of a TIA are the same as those of a stroke, but they usually last only a few minutes. About 12% of all strokes are preceded by TIAs, so don’t ignore a TIA. Call 911 or seek emergency medical attention immediately!

IS STROKE PREVENTABLE?

Yes. Stroke is largely preventable. You can reduce your stroke risk by living a healthy lifestyle—controlling high blood pressure; not smoking; eating a healthy diet low in saturated and trans fats; being physically active; maintaining a healthy body weight; managing diabetes; and drinking alcohol moderately or not at all.

CAN STROKE BE TREATED?

If you’re having a stroke, time is critical. Immediate treatment may reduce the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death. Treatment will vary depending on what type of stroke you had.

WHAT ARE WARNING SIGNS OF STROKE?

You and your family should recognize the warning signs of stroke. You may have some or all of these signs. Note the time when symptoms start and call 911 or the emergency response number in your area immediately. Stroke is a medical emergency! Don’t ignore these warning signs, even if they go away. Stroke Warning Signs: • Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body • Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding • Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes • Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination • Sudden severe headache with

no known cause

F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember how to recognize a stroke and what to do. Spot a stroke FAST.

In the United States, coronary heart disease, which includes heart attack, causes 1 of every 7 deaths. But many of those deaths can be prevented—by acting fast! Each year, about 635,000 people in the US have a new heart attack and about 300,000 have a repeat attack. Some heart attacks are sudden and intense. But most start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Here are some of the signs that can mean a heart attack is happening: • Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain. • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. • Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort. • Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are more likely than men to have some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/ vomiting, and back or jaw pain.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I SUSPECT A HEART ATTACK?

local emergency medical services (EMS) such as the fire department or ambulance. EMS staff can begin treatment when they arrive—up to an hour sooner than if someone gets to the hospital by car. Patients with chest pain who arrive by ambulance usually receive faster treatment at the hospital, too.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Before there’s an emergency, it’s a good idea to find out which hospitals in your area have 24-hour emergency cardiac care. Also, keep a list of emergency phone numbers next to your phone and with you at all times, just in case. Take these steps NOW.

NUTRITION—IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE HARD! No matter our age, it’s never too late to make choices to reclaim our health. Just by making small adjustments to our eating habits, we can build strength and retain or regain vitality. Typically, aging adults need more vitamins and minerals, fiber and water in our diets. That sounds simple, but knowing where to start can frustrate even the best of intentions. Here are some small, actionable steps toward letting your nutrition work for you instead of against you!

HYDRATION

Dehydration is a common but preventable cause of hospitalization among the elderly. One of the reasons senior adults face greater risk of developing dehydration is that total body water 44

composition decreases with age. Combine that with chronic diseases, certain prescription medications and inadequate water intake, and your body can find itself in danger quickly. Symptoms of dehydration in the elderly often go unrecognized. Dry mouth, fatigue, confusion, dizziness and dark urine. The best way to avoid dehydration is to switch things up—flavored waters, fruit waters, juices with 50% water—there are so many wonderful options on the market now. You can even eat some of your fluid intake. Watermelon, mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail and popsicles are all fun choices. But don’t discount keeping a glass around and taking small sips through the day—it all adds up.

PREVENTING AND TREATING DIABETES COMPLICATIONS Having diabetes puts you at risk for other serious health problems. The good news? You may be able to prevent complications by managing your diabetes. If you are not meeting your goals for A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol, talk to your doctor about changing your treatment plan. Here are the most common diabetes complications; if you think you may be developing any of them, contact your doctor as soon as possible. Heart and blood vessel disease, also called cardiovascular disease, can lead to heart attacks and strokes. eye disease from diabetes is known as diabetic retinopathy. People with diabetes also have a high risk for eye problems like glaucoma, cataracts, and blindness. Have your eyes checked once a year. Kidney disease, or nephropathy, can damage the kidneys’ ability to filter out the body’s waste products. Nerve disease, or neuropathy, may cause tingling, pain, or weakness in the feet and hands. If not properly treated, it can lead to amputation. Nerve disease may cause digestive problems, like feeling full early, unpredictable blood glucose levels, diarrhea, or constipation. Nerve disease can cause sexual problems in both men and women.

Hearing loss can happen at any age. It is more common in people with diabetes. Family and friends usually notice hearing loss first. Common signs of hearing loss include: • Frequently asking others to repeat themselves • Having trouble following conversations that involve more than two people • Thinking that others are mumbling • Having problems hearing in noisy places such as busy restaurants • Having trouble hearing the voices of women and small children • Turning up the TV or radio volume too loud for others who are nearby Your doctor may not always screen for hearing loss during a physical. If you know you have trouble hearing, tell him or her right away to avoid miscommunication. Having family or a friend there to listen and write down instructions can also help. Dental problems and gum disease are more common if you have diabetes. High blood glucose levels weaken your ability to fight germs. Blood flow to your gums is also impaired. If your gums bleed or are red, see your dentist. Depression is common among adults. It is normal to feel sad sometimes, but if you feel down for more than 2 weeks, you might be depressed. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are medicines that can help you get back to feeling like yourself. Counseling or psychotherapy with a mental health professional is also an option.

Tesimonials: "Just wanted to let you know how the Senior Resource Guide was helpful in placing my mom in an assisted living facility in Gulf Breeze. The lovely facility was everything the advertiser had in their listing. I live out of town and it was so helpful to locate and have everything I needed and especially what questions to ask. This is such a trying time and your Guide was very helpful. Thanks again." – Mary K. "Just love this Guide. I have shared it with so many of my friends. I called the Senior Resource Guide and they were so helpful with mailing Guides and even bringing them to me. They were very useful in helping the seniors at my church." – Janet S. "I cannot say enough about the Senior Resource Guide. I have kept them for the last four years and the information they have is so helpful. If I had questions, I have called on them many times and they have been able to refer me in the right direction. Being a senior citizen myself, I like having printed information I can refer back to." – Sally J. 54
