Napa - 2021

Hit the Road, Jack!

Is the RV Lifestyle Right For You? or upending your current way of life. Renting helps you get a feel for the size of vehicle you want and the layout and amenities you prefer. Here are some other factors to consider in making this decision: 1. Traveling and living in tight quarters can test a relationship. The average RV has about 300 square feet of space. Living this close together for an extended period may not be right for every couple.

It’s hard not to watch the Academy Award-winning film Nomadland without fantasizing a bit about selling off all your beginnings and hitting the road.

The 2020 drama, which is based on journalist Jessica Bruder’s 2017 book, Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century, tells the story of a 60-something woman who travels around the U.S. in her van. She takes on seasonal jobs and befriends other “nomads” along the way.

Some of the people in the film are the real-life nomads Bruder interviewed for her book.

According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), about 10 million households own an RV in the U.S. Most of these owners spend an average of three to four weeks a year traveling in

their RVs. However, an estimated one million RV owners live in their vehicles full-time.

The pandemic has fueled new interest in RVs, as people of all ages appreciate the health, safety, and freedom traveling in your own home affords during these challenging times. The RVIA reported that RV shipments were up more than 40% in 2020 over 2019 and have shown no signs of slowing down in 2021.

But how can you tell if extended RV travel or full-time RVing is the lifestyle for you?

RV experts recommend that people who enjoy camping and are comfortable living in tight spaces are best sted to the RV life.

They also strongly suggest renting an RV for a trial journey before making a purchase

2. You’ll have limited space for clothing and other belongings.

Space is at a premium when it comes to RVing. This lifestyle is best for people who value experiences over things.

3. Successful RVing takes planning. People who set out without campground reservations, hands-on vehicle maintenance knowledge, or the right supplies rarely succeed.

Some experts equate taking an RV on the road for a long journey with taking a ship out to sea.

4. RVing can be expensive.

Although it is far less costly than owning and running a bricks-and sticks house, RV maintenance is not cheap.

Gas, campsite fees, and vehicle upkeep and repairs can really add up. Plus, you’ll need to learn how to do more with less – less water, less power, etc.

5. You’ll need the right insurance. Your automobile insurance policy is unlikely to cover your RV. Talk with your insurance agent about a dedicated insurance policy for your RV and what it covers if you live in it full-time.

6. Check for senior discounts.

About one-third of RV owners are seniors, and age can get some definite perks when it comes to RV travel. Ask about senior discounts at campgrounds and restaurants, for instance. Check out the senior national parks pass for another cost-saving option.

Another idea to “try out your wings” in the RV lifestyle is to volunteer as a campground or park host. Many locations offer an RV site and free hook-ups to their hosts. Some may also pay hosts a monthly stipend.

Does the freedom of the open road beckon you?

13 Documents You Need For Effective Planning 1. An Original Will A will allows you to dictate who inherits your assets. Dying without a will means losing control of how your assets are distributed. Instead, state law will determine what happens. Wills are subject to probate – legal proceedings that take inventory, make appraisals of property settle outstanding debt and distribute remaining assets. One way to avoid probate is with a Revocable Living Trust.

2. A Revocable Living Trust This is a transfer of ownership of various assets to a trust.

You can serve as a trustee on behalf of the beneficiaries you designate. Or, you can appoint a trust executor in the event of your death.

3. Durable Financial Power of Attorney Form This form designates who will make financial decisions on your behalf in the event that you are incapacitated.

4. Documentation of Assets This includes housing and land ownership, cemetery plots, vehicles, stock certificates, savings bonds, any partnership or corporate operating agreements and a list of brokerage and escrow mortgage accounts.

5. Tax Returns (previous three years) 6. Banking Information List of all bank accounts and online log-in information. List any safe deposit boxes, and register your spouse or child’s name with the bank and ask them to sign

the registration so they can have access without securing a court order.

7. Durable Health Care Power of Attorney Form (Advance Directive) This allows your designee to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated.

8. Authorization to Release Protected Health Information Form This allows you to designate people who can be given information about your health from your doctor or hospital.

9. A Physician’s Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Form This bright pink form is for terminally ill or people who are very old and frail and not expected to live more than a year. The POLST designates a preference for on the spot medical treatment in the emergency room, or by the EMTs. 10. Life Insurance Policies Family members need to know the name of the carrier, the policy number, and the agent associated with the policy.

11. Benefits Accounts This includes pensions, annuities, individual retirement accounts and (401)ks for your spouse or children. If your heirs don’t know about these accounts, they won’t be able to claim them.

12. Your marriage license, or your divorce judgment/ decree.

13. Your Birth Certificate and Social Security card.

Born to Age

WHAT HOME CARE AGENCIES ARE CHARGING FOR SERVICES IN NAPA Getting help at home is usually the first thing that people think about when chores and/or personal care is becoming difficult or impossible. Housekeepers, gardeners and occasional handymen are the easiest for most of us to consider because they don’t carry the psychological burden of no longer being able to do for ourselves. Caregivers can be resisted because of cost, fear of loss of independence, autonomy and privacy, or just due to stubbornness and personal will.

While most prefer a family member or prior knowledge of the caregiver, this may not always be possible. Family members might have good intentions, and while promises are made, commitments may be more difficult to keep. It may not be the best thing to have a family member, friend or neighbor as a caregiver.

The most reliable solution is hiring outside assistance with a regular schedule. This way, family members remain as family and others can be counted on to do the hands-on work.

There are many choices in help at home. If hired privately, the hours worked and wages paid are between you and the employee. You are also liable for worker’s compensation and IRS withholding.

Here’s a brief rundown on the types of agencies in Napa County.

HOME HEALTH AGENCIES

These agencies provide services that are 100% covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal or private health insurance. This service must be ordered by a doctor. However, you still have a personal choice of agency. Requirements to qualify for care are: 1: Homebound, 2.

Need for skilled care. Skilled care 20

means that you need a nurse, a physical, speech or occupational therapist. This is also a time and visit limited services. Some aide service can be available, if there’s a skilled need. This is a service NOT covered by Long Term Care Insurance. Born to Age doesn’t list these prices because the costs are directly reimbursed by Medicare.

You are not billed for services.

Healing at Home a division of Hospice by the Bay

355 West Napa Street, Suite A Sonoma, CA 95476 707.935.5135 www.hbtbhomecare.org

PRIVATE DUTY HOME CARE AGENCIES

These agencies provide both skilled and non-skilled care. The services might be covered by long term care insurance, other insurances, and private pay. The agency is the employer. Caregivers are hired, screened and paid for by the agency. If the caregiver is ill or unable to work, a substitute caregiver is available. The agency pays payroll taxes, worker’s compensation, and maintains liability coverage.

The agency also determines what the caregiver can and can’t do. There is often a minimum number of hours for services.

Care provided by these agen-

cies can include: skilled care, personal care, transportation/ errands, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, etc.

Shifts can be hourly, live-in or sleepover.

Dietary needs change as one gets older, and it is often difficult for senior citizens to get the foods they need to remain healthy during retirement. The MOW delivery service is the perfect solution to this problem.

We ensure that seniors get properly portioned nutritional meals without the hassle of traveling to the local super market or Grocery.

Senior must live in Napa County and be: 1) Homebound - unable to leave home for an extended period of time; 2) Unable to buy food due to illness, disability or handicap, lack of transportation or family assistance; or 3) Unable to prepare a balanced meal or special diet for any of the above reasons.

Senior Exercise Parks:

Why Should Kids Have All the Fun? It’s common to see seniors sitting on park benches watching children playing at the playground. But have you ever witnessed a group of seniors having fun on playground equipment?

Senior playgrounds, which debuted in China in 1995, are growing in popularity worldwide as an enjoyable way for older adults to exercise and have fun.

You won’t find slides, sandboxes, or monkey bars at these playgrounds. Instead, they feature outdoor equipment specially designed to improve balance, flexibility, strength, functional movement, range of motion, and mobility in seniors.

Some equipment is intended for people who are wheelchair-bound or are otherwise limited in their movements.

What Are the Benefits of Senior Playgrounds?

A growing body of research points to the relationship between exercise and healthy aging. Staying physically active as you get older helps reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, aids in recovery from illness, and reduces the risk of falls.

Exercising at an outdoor playground offers the added benefit of spending time outdoors, which researchers believe can help improve sleep and reduce anxiety and depression.

Another key benefit of senior playgrounds is the social interaction they can provide.

Seniors can meet and enjoy conversations with other like-minded individuals while they use the equipment. Some of the equipment is designed for more than one person, enhancing the fun and camaraderie.

Since the late 1990s, parks with playground equipment for seniors have caught on in Japan, Thailand, Finland, Denmark, Germany, England, Canada, and Australia. Spain currently leads the world with more than 600 elderly fitness zones.

However, the United States has only a handful, including Carbide Park in La Marque, Texas.

The Carbide Park Senior Playground, which opened in 2014, features fitness steps, chin-up bars, balance stools, a wavy balance beam, and a stretching board.

What Are the Requirements of a Senior Playground?

Some people view intergenerational playgrounds as the best way for seniors to interact with all age groups and not feel isolated. Intergenerational playgrounds feature equipment designed for all ages and include equipment intended for more than one person to share, such as two-seater swings.

Others say that a “seniors-only” setting is important for seniors to feel safe and secure on the equipment. Still, others recommend “parallel play” –

separate but adjacent playground equipment – is the best bet for seniors and the general public.

A group of public park researchers discusses this dilemma in an article published by the UCLA Newsroom. In the article, UCLA urban planning professor Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris notes that city planners should consider the age and cultural background of the neighborhood’s residents when making a playground decision.

The research report “Outdoor physical activity for older people—the senior exercise park,” published in 2018 in the Health Promotion Journal of Australia, offers insights into what’s needed for a successful senior playground.

In addition to the safety of the equipment, the article addresses the following factors that are important in determining a location: for a senior playground: • Access to public transportation • Excellent lighting • Wheelchair accessibility • Shade • Clean signage that explains the pur pose of the park The report concludes, “This initiative could potentially be a cost-effective way to engage older individuals in a more active and healthier lifestyle...

This (project) will not only elicit health benefits but may also provide social opportunities and interaction as well as connectivity to nature.”

We think senior exercise parks are an excellent investment in the health of a community. We encourage you to brainstorm ways you might be able to bring one to a public park near you.

Napa - 2021

Share the Care Helps People Age With Dignity Do you know an older adult who needs medical equipment or supplies? Do you have some gently used medical equipment or supplies you no longer need?

Then you should visit Share the Care’s new store at 162 S. Coombs St. in Napa.

From the store’s opening in June through September, the non-profit organization gave away 1,500 items, including wheelchairs, hospital beds, walkers, canes, briefs, and other supplies.

“We are open to anyone in need in the community,” says Sandra Oliva, executive director. “You don’t need to fill out any forms or answer any questions. We just want to help people get what they need.”

Having something as simple as a supply of adult briefs can give someone the ability to live at home or go out in public, Oliva points out. “It’s often these small things that provide independence and give someone back their dignity.”

Yvonne Baginski, who founded Share the Care in 2014 and retired as its executive director in January, once gathered medical items on her front porch in order to give them away to the needy.

Now the organization’s 2,500 square-foot warehouse and storefront offers much more space for the storage and display of donated items.

In addition to the equipment and supplies, people who visit or call Share the Care find an invaluable network of support. “Isolation is a big issue

(for older adults),” says Oliva.

“We get about 10 calls a day from people needing help with anything from putting together a bookcase to organizing their papers. We also get calls from people who need transportation to their medical appointments.

Although the pandemic shut down Share the Care’s in-person volunteer visits, Oliva says that she and her group of volunteers carefully listen to what people need and then try to help them find the right resources.

Sometimes, the connections work out in uncanny ways. “I can’t tell you how many times coincidences happen,” Oliva explains. As an example, she recalls a recent call from someone looking for a microwave for a senior. “I told them

that we cannot accept household appliances, but I made a note of it. The very next caller was someone who wanted to donate some supplies, including a microwave. So, I accepted the microwave.”

Oliva and Karin Morrisey, Share the Care’s development director, are seeking more volunteers to work in the organization’s store.

And, while COVID concerns continue to curtail Share the Care’s in-person visits, Oliva mentions the group hopes to launch a phone service to check on local elderly residents who live alone.

She also is in the early stages of training her black lab/border collie-mix puppy to become a visiting dog at local senior living homes.

“People should be able to age independently, safely, and with dignity,” Oliva says. “We try our best to find ways to help them do that.”

If you would like to help Share the Care with your time, monetary gift, or donation of gently-used medical equipment or supplies, please call (707) 492-3198 or write to info@ sharethecarenv.org.
