Well, how did your January shake out? Was it the productive, fresh start to the new year we all dream about? Or was it a flop? Mine was definitely the latter! I got sick (like everyone else in Boerne), then sick again, and let’s just say nothing much got accomplished! So for me, I’m declaring a do-over and starting again with February. Hopefully the second time’s a charm.

Did you know that the Dallas Cowboys Football Club has their own diagnostic imaging center? And did you know that they have opened their second location right here in Boerne? This month we feature Blue Star Imaging Boerne. With their cutting-edge technology and commitment to superb customer service, BSI is making care designed for world-class athletes accessible to everyone. Learn more about them starting on page 16.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE REMODELING YOUR HOME

I

It is very common for people who live in the same residence year after year to begin imagining their home looking a different way. Some might envision their bathroom being a different color, or a different layout, or even a brand new look altogether. Others might daydream about having a bigger kitchen. I mean, who couldn't use a little more counter space and a few more cabinets? Or perhaps one might consider replacing their wooden floors with some pearl white granite or dark blue tiles? The truth is, seeing the same thing over and over year after year can eventually become dull and boring. So, in order to liven things up and keep the excitement flowing we often try new things to help stimulate our minds and satisfy our need to see change.

Although, most of us might enjoy seeing a change in the scenery around our home, it’s also very important to understand the pros and cons of building your dream home. We can’t tell you how many people have made the mistake of guessing the cost of their home makeover instead of actually speaking with professionals to assess a realistic budget for the renovations they want to implement into their home. Trent Teat, the CEO of Ballroom Baths & Home Design (BRB), wanted to give our readers some valuable insight on things to consider before initiating the process to remodeling your home.

Having over 20 plus years of experience, we believe that the key to building lifelong relationships with our customers is through maintaining an approach focused on respect for both you and your home.

NAVIGATING SKILLED CARE

A

At some point, many of us will need to take on responsibility for an aging loved one. And when that time comes, there is an enormous amount of pressure to consider all factors and make the best decisions regarding his or her health and finances. Where will your mother, father, wife, or husband receive the highest-quality care? Where will he or she be treated like a resident, not just a patient? Where is the cleanest skilled nursing facility with the best food? Where will your loved one feel safe?

Kathy Waters, a wealth management financial advisor working in CAPTRUST’s Lake Success, New York, office, knows the circumstances all too well. As her own mother’s cognitive mobility became impaired, Waters noticed the gas and water were sometimes left running in her home. “It wasn’t safe for her to live on her own anymore,” says Waters.

“She had started to become a danger to herself and possibly to others.” The elder Waters was 89 years old when her family made the difficult decision to move her into an assisted living facility.

Choosing Wisely. Most of Waters’s clients only start to plan for longterm care once the loved one in question reaches 82 or thereabouts. But Waters says that whether you’re considering hiring aides or finding a longterm care facility, it involves a considerable amount of planning.

Ideally, she says the discussion of whether an individual should go to a facility or stay at home should happen closer to age 60 or 70. “Although it’s hard to face the fact that health problems may someday result in a loss of independence, if you begin planning now, there will be more options open in the future,” says Waters.

Of course, there are several key considerations when selecting a longterm care facility.

Waters suggests starting with recommendations from the hospital or doctor’s office and then from friends, relatives, social workers, and religious groups. Consider what is important to your loved one—nursing care, meals, physical therapy, activities and trips, religious services, location, hospice care, or special care such as for dementia. Once you’ve got your short list of choices established, here is what to consider next.

Quality of care. Waters recommends doing your homework by making sure that the nursing home or assisted living facility is certified by the state and asking to see the inspection report and certification of any safe facility

you are considering. Ask about the credentials and training of the staff, including doctors, nurses, and aides. Can residents see their own doctors, or must they see the staff physician? Do they have access to dentists, eye doctors, and other specialists? Does the facility have clear procedures that it follows in medical emergencies?

You can get this and more information through Medicare’s Care Compare site, which uses a five-star rating system to help the public find and compare nursing homes, hospitals, and other providers. The website, medicare.gov/care-compare, includes an overall rating for each facility and separate scores based on health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

Transportation. Arranging transportation for medical services can be a challenging process, especially for someone in a wheelchair or restricted to a bed. Waters says it can get complicated if a resident in assisted living needs to see a specialist, such as a urologist or cardiologist, or even needs to go for routine health checkups and the facility does not have people to escort them.

In fact, Waters tried something new last month when she called the neurologist’s office on behalf of her client. “I wanted to have the doctor go and speak to my client at her facility,” she says. “In this case, it did not work out, unfortunately.” It’s important to make sure you understand how transportation is arranged for nonemergency, routine, or unexpected medical services.

Location. Location is important for a myriad of reasons. It can affect how often an individual is visited by family and friends, which, in turn, affects the resident’s mental and emotional well-being. The right location can also help ensure quality-of-care issues are more easily addressed as problems arise. Moreover, proximity to things like religious services, shopping, socialization, and opportunities for outdoor activity can be important factors for your loved one.

Waters considered each of these components when choosing living arrangements for her mother. “I was able to join my mother for breakfast and dinner, and my brother came for lunch.”

Location isn’t everything to everyone, however. “Many clients rely on financial advisors to guide them, particularly around understanding what they can afford,” says Waters.

Cost. Waters helps her clients plan accordingly by either looking to purchase long-term care policies, which can be expensive, or doing estate planning and allocating money into Medicaidprotected trusts so they can go to a facility that is paid through Medicaid.

The major advantage to using income, savings, investments, and assets (such as your home) to pay for long-term care is that you have the most control over where and how you receive care.

Long-term care generally ranges between $6,000 and $12,000 a month nationwide, says Waters. In New York, Waters’s home base, nursing homes run from $15,000 to $20,000 a month. Full-time aides in your home can cost about $12,000 a month. Some facilities also offer a buy-in—where you actually buy the apartment. “It can be rather expensive,” Waters says. “One set of clients paid about $700,000.”

Safety and security. Ask when the facility was built or updated. In general, the newer the building, the more fire-resistant it will be due to changes in building codes. Look for safety features such as wide hallways, doors that unlock from the inside, handrails, and grab bars.

Healthcare aides and nursing home caregivers are compassionate people, but they are also among the lowest-paid healthcare professionals—and that makes some of them vulnerable to temptation. “You have to be cognizant of valuables,” says Waters. “Unfortunately, my mother’s wedding band was stolen.”

To some degree, Waters says, you can counter this temptation by making healthcare workers feel important and valued. “I tell them they are my eyes and ears; I’m counting on them to communicate to me.” Don’t make them feel like the hired help, she says. “Make them feel like a person who is respected for taking care of a loved one.”

While it can be difficult to take objects of sentimental value like a wedding ring or a special watch, if it’s of any monetary value, Waters recommends replacing it with something comparable but less expensive.

Soft aspects. What kinds of social and entertainment activities are planned for the residents?

Is there a library? A place where residents can purchase personal items? Is there a safe place to enjoy the outdoors, such as an enclosed garden?

Are meals served in a communal dining room or are residents served in their rooms?

You have to do your research and find the special extras unique to each facility, says Waters. “Some extras, such as medication management, are included in the monthly maintenance and some facilities bill separately for them.”

In Waters’s mother’s case, the family felt fortunate—a good friend’s mother lived at the same facility. “That was part of why I wanted my mother going there—she would know somebody,” says Waters.

“Many clients wish they could bring their

parent into their home, but that’s rarely feasible,” says Waters. “So, we are fortunate that these longterm care facilities are available, and, overall, they do a good job providing care and entertainment for people who are very vulnerable.”

Many local and national caregiver support groups and community services are available to help you navigate the process of finding long-term care for yourself or for loved ones. If you don’t know where to find help, contact your state’s department of eldercare services. Or call 800.677.1116 to reach the Eldercare Locator, an information and referral service sponsored by the federal government that can direct you to resources available nationally or in your area.

BLUE STAR IMAGING BOERNE

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A WORLD-CLASS ATHLETE TO RECEIVE WORLD-CLASS CARE When it comes to medical imaging, the use of advanced procedures, services and images are critical to determining your care and treatment. Blue Star Imaging, which is the imaging center of the Dallas Cowboy Football Club, prides themselves on being able to offer their patients the diagnostic edge. Their enhanced technology, paired with a commitment to servicing the community with the highest-quality medical treatment that world-class Dallas Cowboys athletes receive in order to stay healthy and competitive, is what sets them apart.

B oerne B usiness M onthly | February 2022

Established in 2004 in Irving, Texas by the Jones family, owners of the Dallas Cowboys Football Club, Blue Star Imaging (BSI) was intended to be used by the players. However, they soon realized there was a need for high-quality diagnostic imaging and BSI was opened to the public in 2005. The organization’s relationships in the San Antonio area with both professional and collegiate sports teams led them to open a second location this past year right here in Boerne. Our town’s beautiful, up-and-coming location and proximity to San Antonio and surrounding cities were among the

top considerations when choosing the location for BSI’s second location. Blue Star Imaging plans to open three more locations throughout Texas collectively by 2023.

Blue Star Imaging Boerne offers a full service 3T MRI, a full array of CT imaging, as well as procedures such as fluorography, arthrograms, joint injections and more. Their state-of-the-art imaging equipment and world-renowned radiologists result in better image and diagnostic outcomes for their patients.

you. It features BioMatrix Technology that helps to overcome the challenges of patients’ unique, individual characteristics, or biovariabilities. These different physiologies and anatomies, along with the way we interact with them and technology, can cause unwarranted variations in imaging results. By embracing human nature in this way, BSI can personalize examinations and help expand precision medicine.

Zach Fulton, MD DABR B oerne B usiness M onthly | February 2022

Also available is the Siemens Somatom go.Up CT which offers innovative dose reduction technology, and high image quality, helping the radiologists of BSI provide outstanding imaging for their patients.

Not only does Blue Star Imaging provide its physicians and patients with increased diagnostic confidence through the use of advanced medical imaging, but their highly-skilled and experienced technologists offer advanced certifications on the latest clinical applications. The team of board-certified sub-specialty radiologists are considered among the best in their field by their colleagues.

In the spirit of patient access, Blue Star Imaging welcomes referrals from all physicians within the community and are contracted with most health insurance providers. If your physician is not familiar with BSI, simply request a referral from your doctor. BSI accepts all imaging referral forms from patients 12 years old and up. Another added benefit of Blue Star Imaging is that their prices are typically about fifty percent lower than most in-patient and out-patient imaging centers in the area.

Blue Star Imaging’s foundation is based on uncompromising commitment to quality, exemplary patient care, state-of-the-art imaging technology, and best-inclass IT security standards. They are proud to offer a skilled team of employees that are patient-centric, dedicated to creating a great experience and state-of-the-art images for their patients. BBM

Nitric Oxide Improves Your Body’s Performance in More Ways Than One Leigh Ann Greenberg, PharmD, RPh - Annie’s Apothecary - Specialty Pharmacy

As the calendar turned over, our thoughts were once again on resolutions to start out the New Year. January was a great time to reflect on our physical health and lifestyle choices. Now in February we have a chance to reflect on our hearts’ condition and to embrace Heart Health Month. Without adequate heart health, heart disease can become common. “Heart disease” is a term collectively used to describe several types of heart conditions including coronary artery disease which is the common cause of heart attack, angina, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Of course we should already “know” how to maintain a healthy heart. Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

Exercise daily. Keep body weight within normal. It seems so simple to accomplish. Unfortunately, about 715,000 Americans have a heart attack a year. About 600,000 people die from heart disease in the United States each year. Heart disease can be prevented if the right choices are made.

Most people also know and can readily find information about taking supplements to help your heart which include omega-3 fatty acids, red yeast rice, and niacin. All of which may assist in lowering cholesterol to prevent heart disease. Coenzyme Q 10 also shows beneficial effects on heart muscle by helping the mitochondria work more efficiently. There is another molecule that is often overlooked when it comes to improving your heart health.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a naturally occurring molecule produced in the blood vessels that sends important signals to every part of the body. It has a wide range of functions which include supporting the immune system, aiding in wound healing, and maintaining cardiovascular health. One of the most important roles of NO is its ability to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks. By causing the smooth muscles around blood vessels to relax, nitric oxide allows blood to flow more easily. This keeps arteries flexible and prevents high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for stroke and heart attacks.

So what else can this molecule do? The benefits of nitric oxide seem to be endless. It has been shown to increase exercise tolerance, to improve blood flow, to reduce swelling and inflammation, to assist the immune system and limit damage caused by the sun. Studies have linked deficient nitric oxide levels to depression, dementia, arthritis, and asthma. It is also believed to naturally enhance sexual performance by improving blood flow in both men and women.

Many patients experience enhanced sensations during climax.

Who can benefit from nitric oxide? People who suffer from arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, erectile dysfunction,

and anyone who wants to improve their overall health. Athletes can also greatly benefit from the effects of increased nitric oxide. By improving blood flow, more oxygen and nutrients reach the muscles.

This can lead to improved exercise tolerance, increased muscle gain, and increased strength and endurance. The improvement in blood flow and oxygenation lowers blood pressure and will put less strain on the heart and lungs. Increased nitric oxide can also help alleviate high altitude symptoms due to less oxygenation of the body.

Our body produces nitric oxide by several different mechanisms.

One way is by utilizing the nitrate and nitrite from our diet and converting it to NO. Foods rich in these compounds include fruits and vegetables, mainly dark green leafy vegetables. It has also been shown that foods containing polyphenols, including pomegranate juice, apples, dark chocolate, black and green teas can boost nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is also synthesized from the conversion of L-arginine and oxygen by the enzyme eNOS. L-arginine supplements can be taken to increase NO; however, caution should be exercised in those with history of Herpes Simplex Virus since high arginine increases breakouts. Usually taking additional lysine can resolve this problem. However, if you are over the age of forty, overweight, have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or if you smoke, your body can not effectively convert L-arginine to nitric oxide. Other ingredients can enhance nitric oxide production such as Hawthorn Berry, Beet Root, and L-Citrulline. A product called Neo40® has these exact ingredients. Your nitric oxide production may increase from this supplement regardless of your age, cardiovascular risk or smoking status.

Even though NO is produced naturally, often times our bodies don’t produce enough of it to receive the full benefits. Optimum levels can easily be achieved with supplements that promote nitric oxide production. We carry Neo40® at our pharmacy and in honor of American Heart Month we will be giving you $10 off Neo40® until February 28, 2022. BBM
