Liberty Street, Wooster today

Liberty Street, Wooster in 1956

Liberty Street, Wooster Liberty Street, used to be the heart of shopping in Wooster. The 1957 Wooster City Directory notes there were nine dedicated clothing stores, six shoe stores, four drug stores and one hardware store, on Liberty Street. To tend to shopper's personal needs, Liberty Street offered seven barbers, three beauticians, thirteen attorneys, three dentists, seven financial institutions (banks, savings & loan, etc.) and one shoe-shine shop. Other businesses offered sustenance, for those intrepid shoppers. There were seventeen places to grab some lunch. That's right, seventeen. There were a lot of hungry shoppers back then.

The postcard shown is from 1956, judging from the automobiles.

It is a view of Liberty Street, taken from, approximately, the southern intersection of Liberty Street and Peach Alley. Peach Alley has recently been closed to traffic, downtown, and converted to a public gathering space, on both sides of Liberty. On the north side of East Liberty, you can see part of the F.W. Woolworth building, Brenner Brothers (men's clothing) and Beulah Bechtel's (women's clothing). Today, those same buildings are occupied by Birdeye (web site development), Blue Spruce

(home accessories) and FJ Gift. Past the Wayne County Courthouse, on West Liberty, you can see other businesses from the past. Nick Amster's (men's & boys clothing) and Van's (women's clothing) are visible. And Freedlander's department store, with its iconic twin spires, is easily seen.

Beyond Freedlander's, it's difficult to see individual stores, but some of them would have been Lee's Apparel, Liberty Recreation (bowling alley), Jerry's Barber Shop, The Children's Shop, Isaly's, the Spiegel Shop, the Montgomery Ward Shop, Cussin & Fern's (department store) and Rambo & Long (appliances). Today, those structures are occupied by Friendtique (selling donated items, to benefit the local Hospice), and UptownDowntown Antiques. Isaly's is still a restaurant, but now called The Parlor, and is a local favorite for breakfast and lunch.

The building that was Freedlander's, was razed in 2010, and replaced with Merchant's Block, which houses Basil Asian Bistro, Blue Rooster Bakery, Jimmy John's and Mott's Oils & More.

Riot Fear in Egypt is Evident

By William Sexton LONDON—Britain told its 5,700 subjects in Egypt today to leave unless they had “compelling” reasons to remain and reaffirmed that the Suez Canal cannot remain in the unfettered hands of Egypt.

The U.S. warned its 1,500 nationals in Egypt to keep in constant touch with the American embassy—a precautionary measure that reflected the fear of anti-Western riots in the mounting crisis over Egyptian seizure of the canal.

France ordered its main battle fleet headed by the 35,000 ton battleship Jean Bart to standing for action in the eastern Mediterranean. British Prime Minister Anthony Eden announced the call up of certain British reserves.

As Political Climate Warms Stevenson, Nixon Stars Rise “Dump Dick” Drive Falters

By John W. Finney United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) Harold E. Stassen’s ‘Dump Nixon’ campaign has yet to catch fire at the grassroots—if mail to Republican senators is any indication.

A survey by the United Press of the offices of the 47 Republican senators showed today that only about 500 letters have been received from constituents since Stassen started his campaign 12 days ago.

Stassen wants the Republican Party to nominate Governor Christian A. Herter of Massachusetts rather than Vice President Richard M. Nixon as President Eisenhower’s running mate.

A majority of the letter writers appeared to lean toward keeping Nixon on the ticket.

Wooster and Orville Jolted Worst with Utilities Halted and Some Roads Blocked

A wide belt of the Wayne County area was recovering today from electrical storms which dismembered trees and brought contingent utilities trouble Sunday.

“Plenty” of telephone trouble, scattered electrical outages, at least 1 fire threat and 2 traffic accidents, serious damage to 1 Wooster home, and partial blocking of several highways were weekend highlights.

Lightning set wires smoldering at Oak Grove Church at Jefferson bringing Wooster Township firemen. One auto stalled because of a drowned motor, was stuck, and another motorist misjudged intentions of the driver he thought stalled by water.

Ohio Dairy Farmers Convene at Station

Dairy farmers and junior dairymen from all over Ohio arrived here Friday morning for the 29th annual Dairy Day at the Experiment Station.

With some farmers still coming at noon, attendance was estimated at 1,500 to 1,700. Sizable representations from Wayne County, Ashtabula County and central Ohio were noted and a larger number of FFA and 4-H judging teams attended this year.

Agriculturalists at the Station said weather for the institution’s biggest annual field day was best in the memories of most. It was weather, however, which apparently cut this year’s attendance somewhat. Many Ohio farmers, especially in the Wayne County area, are behind with farm jobs because of excessive rains through the season.

Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation.

One of them kept complaining of family problems. Finally, the other man said: “You think you have family problems?

Listen to my situation: “A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter. We got married and I got myself a stepdaughter. Later, my father married my stepdaughter.

That made my stepdaughter, my step-mother. And my father became my stepson. Also, my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law. Much later, the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son. This boy was my half-brother because he was my father’s son. But he was also the son of my wife’s daughter which made him my wife’s grandson.

That made me the grandfather of my half-brother. This was nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the half-sister of my son, my stepmother, is also the grandmother. This makes my father, the brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father’s wife, I am my stepmother’s brother-in-law, my wife is her own child’s aunt, my son is my father’s nephew and I am my OWN GRANDFATHER!”

We Need Your Help!

Members of the Wayne County Public Library and the Wayne County Historical Society are collaborating to create an exhibit and commemorative booklet celebrating the passage of the 19th amendment. The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex. On August 18, 1920, the Tennessee legislature approved the amendment, becoming the last of the necessary 36 states to secure ratification. The collaborators bringing together the celebration are looking for local stories and pictures relating to gaining the women’s vote. Please call Debra Kitko at 330.262.0916 x4670 if you are able to share memories or information for this 100th year anniversary.

Movies & Television

“Fear can hold you prisoner.

Hope can set you free.”

In the fall of 1994, this epic phrase was uttered onscreen at the Renaissance Theatre in Mansfield, Ohio for the world premiere of The Shawshank Redemption. Now, relive the premiere with a special one-night only screening at the Renaissance that kicks off the 25th anniversary of the filming of the movie. The screening includes a panel discussion with members of the movie’s cast and crew on August 16, moderated by Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz.

by Randy Wilson Now & TheN Contributor

M

ansfield was the primary filming location for the blockbuster film, though the plot set the fictional prison in Maine. The Shawshank Redemption is a movie adaptation of a 1982 Stephen King novel of the same name. Many of the movie’s jailhouse scenes were filmed inside Mansfield’s historic Ohio State Reformatory and other scenes took place in state parks near the town. On August 17th, Mankiewicz will host another discussion inside the “Shawshank State Prison” (the Ohio Reformatory) with an opportunity for fans and cast members to mingle afterward.

Few movies capture the triumph of the human spirit as memorably as The Shawshank Redemption. Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins star in this powerful nominee for seven Academy Awards based on the Stephen King story.

Freeman plays "Red" Redding, a lifer who knows the ropes at Maine's Shawshank State Prison. Robbins is new inmate Andy Dufresne, a quiet banker unjustly convicted of murder. Andy's indomitable will earns Red's friendship; his resourcefulness brings hope and change to the entire prison. Andy is full of surprises - and he saves his best for last.

Other events celebrating The Shawshank Redemption’s 25th anniversary include a self-guided drive along The Shawshank Trail—a neighborhood tour that takes fans to 16 locations featured in the movie along with photo ops with Red and Andy look alikes. Actors from the film will be stationed inside the Ohio State Reformatory during the anniversary weekend to sign autographs, including Bob Gunton (Warden Norton), William Sadler (Heywood), Mark Rolston (Bogs), Scott Mann (Glenn Quentin), Renee Blaine (Linda Dufresne) and Claire Slemmer (Bank Teller) to name a few.

The trail is free but admission to the Reformatory is $25.

While attending the movie screening at The Renaissance, an

interesting fact about the Wurlitzer theatre organ they have is that it belonged to Joseph Kearns, the vault keeper on the Jack Benny Show and perhaps better known as George Wilson on the Dennis the Menace Show. Kearns was a professional theatre organist in his day and the Renaissance purchased it from his estate.

For a Shawshank refreshment you might want to try the Redemption Pie pizza at Two Cousins Pizza Co. in Mansfield or take home a bottle of Reformatory Red from Cypress Hill Winery or check out the debut of “The Caged Bird” sandwich at Doc’s Deli while you’re there.

Top off your weekend with a stop at The Olivesburg General Store, 4778 State Route 545 in Ashland (about 12 miles from the Ohio State Reformatory) where they serve up the infamous Shawshank Sundae, consisting of a homemade brownie on the bottom, a huge scoop of peanut butter ice cream, a second brownie on top, loads of hot fudge, whip cream, M & M's and a cherry on top!

The store is an 1840's era "Good 'Ole Days" treasure loaded with nostalgia. The stores ceiling lights are the original lights from the Shawshank movie. For directions and hours, visit their website at www.olivesburggeneralstore.com During the celebratory events, souvenirs will be for sale, including creations carved from the fallen Shawshank tree—a prominent part of the film. The local tree fell over in 2016 from wind damage.

Arts Center Opens

“The Art Of Hope” Art Therapy Exhibit

t

hose struggling with physical or mental illness, addiction, or abuse have often found relief in creating art. A new exhibit at the Wayne Center for the Arts celebrates the process of recovery by showcasing works by the Village Network Art Therapy Program and artists at NAMI/MOCA House.

The Village Network Art Therapy Program has grown in recent years thanks to the new Therapeutic Stabilization Center, where youth experiencing a severe crisis can experience mental health services and treatment including non-traditional methods like yoga, art therapy and music therapy alongside more traditional approaches. Participants are given choices and space to express themselves, resulting in work that can help release trauma and communicate emotions.

"It’s crucial for our youth to be part of expressive therapies such as art and music,” says Richard Graziano, President & CEO of the Village Network. “These expressions help our youth cope with trauma and everyday stressors. We are excited to share our youth’s stories through art, in partnership with the Wayne Center For The Arts."

NAMI/MOCA House joins the Village Network in the Gault Gallery.

MOCA House has long been providing artistic opportunities as part of its goals to reduce isolation among those struggling with mental illness. The outpatient center offers art classes in a variety of mediums twice a week as part of their free mental health recovery programming.

“Art can be a powerful way of expressing challenges related to mental illness and how a person has gained insight in their recovery,” continues Jen Grim, Development and Grant Manager for NAMI. “In addition, our participants encourage one another, gain skills and confidence, and enjoy the process. Our volunteer instructors have a wonderful connection with the participants.

The exhibit will show these challenges and hope related to mental health recovery.”

James Fox, the new Executive Director at Wayne Center for the Arts, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaborative exhibit. "We are thrilled to host and showcase the work of two amazing social service organizations,” Fox added. “ The innovative therapeutic approach taken by the Village Network and MOCA House is an inspiration to all and an outstanding example of the therapeutic power of the arts."

This exhibit will be on display in the Looney and Gault Galleries from August 21 to September 14, 2019. Visitors can meet the artists and get a first look at the show during an opening reception on Wednesday, August 21 from 6-8 pm at the Wayne Center for the Arts. The reception and the exhibit are free and open to the public. For more information, call 330-264-2787 or visit www.wayneartscenter.org/visit/exhibitions.

Wayne Center for the Arts is an arts non-profit in Wooster, OH, dedicated to “enriching lives and strengthening communities through art.”

Gnat Boxers Square Dance Club

by Doris Sigg Ask Nancy and Dick Mackey what they like best about the Gnat Boxers and they will tell you unequivocally that the social aspect supersedes all. “We have made friends from all over, like brothers and sisters, and when you have a need they are there.” Socializing is not limited to dances. Members call each other to go to dinner or a show and special events. Many activities such as camp-outs, holiday parties, and mystery bus tours are all part of the Gnat Boxers' calendar.

Gnat Boxer dancing is not your ordinary square dancing. It progresses from simple moves to more difficult figures, mainstream dance calls to plus calls and advanced calls.

The Wooster Gnat Boxers history was started in 1959 by Caller Bill Alkire. A summer Wooster YMCA program became so popular that a series of 10 week lessons was established. Students at that time learned 20 calls during each 10 week session. Two years later the group known as the “YMCA Square Dance Club”, decided to go out on its own. The name “Gnat Boxers Western Square Dance Club” became the club’s official title in 1961. The name comes from one of the calls in square dancing – “box the gnat”- just one of the indications that there’s a lot more to this form of dancing than “do-si-do”. In fact there are 90 different moves and variations. Some of the more common include “square through,”“go right and left through,”“spin the top,”and “load the boat.”

The Wooster Gnat Boxers teach beginners in classes that start in September with two free nights of dances (September 23 and 30, 2019). Official lessons start in October (October 7, 2019), a 25-week program, with promotion in March (March 23, 2020). Students can range from seven years old to eighty plus. Student dances start in December. When lessons end each spring the Gnat Boxer students are skilled enough to dance anywhere!

The Gnat Boxer dancers learn up to 80 calls. In western style calla are set to contemporary music. This is in contrast to hoedown style set to duple meter music. In 1981 round dancing was introduced to the club. The callers for the round dancing are called cuers. Today’s dances still include round dancing between each square dance tip. The Gnat Boxers host dances on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. Dances are held at the Ida Sue School, in Wooster, Ohio, from 7:30 to 10 o’clock.

Nancy points out, however, that there are enough other clubs to keep one busy every night of the week.

In fact, dancers visit other groups and do what are called raids, stealing banners that later have to be retrieved in reverse raids.

Members also earn what are called dangles for just visiting other groups and for participating in special events.

The club banner and mascot, utilizing a cartoon bug with boxing gloves, were adopted in 1962 and have undergone only slight variations over the years. Callers have been equally stable, with Bill Alkire serving in the position until 1967, when Dick Mackey took over. There have been only two callers in the club since it was founded in 1959 although visiting callers from all parts of the United States give variety and interest to the dances. At present there are 92 members in the club.

On Saturday, October 19, 2019 the Gnat Boxers will celebrate their 60th Diamond Jubilee anniversary. There will be a dinner at 5 ($16.00 a plate) at Trinity United Church of Christ, followed by a free dance 7:30 to 10:30 at the Ida Sue School Square dancing originated in the United States. Some elements of the dance, often performed in mountainous areas in its early

days, utilize a combination of movements from European folk dance brought to this country by immigrants. Square dancing has evolved as much as it has grown since those early days, making it a home-grown product of the United States. Because of this evolution in the United States, to the current status it has achieved today, square dancers around the world dance to calls that are called in English.

Why square dance? It’s fun and sociable. It’s mentally stimulating.

People who start Modern Square Dancing soon realize that it’s a “thinking person’s activity.” The interaction with the caller and the other dancers to complete a movement successfully keeps the mind sharp, focused and challenged. Modern Square Dancing is a respite from anxiety; the music varies from current rock, jazz and country western. Dancing is a good form of mild exercise. It’s non-competitive and inexpensive. Finally, it’s an activity that the whole family can enjoy.

United Square Dancers of America offers this pledge: “With all my ability I will do my best to help keep square dancing the enjoyable, wholesome, friendly and inspiring activity I know it to be. This I pledge in the sincere desire that it may grow naturally and unexploited in the coming years and be available to all those who seek the opportunity for friendship, fun and harmony—through square dancing.”

What is a

silent stroke?

The brain is a complex organ responsible for controlling many different bodily functions.

When working at optimal capacity, the brain is a wonder to behold. When illness or trauma affects the brain, various parts of the body may not work as they should.

O

ne of the more devastating things that can affect the brain is stroke. Stroke describes a sudden stoppage of blood from reaching the brain. Harvard Medical School states that if a large number of brain cells are starved of blood supply, they can die. With their demise, a person’s memory and ability to speak and move can be compromised.

While many strokes come on suddenly, certain factors may indicate a person is at risk. Such factors may include prior heart attacks, genetics, high blood pressure, smoking, or a prior stroke. However, in a particular type of stroke — a “silent stroke” — symptoms are far more subtle and difficult to spot.

Silent cerebral infarction, often referred to as “SCI” or “silent stroke,” is a brain injury likely caused by a blood clot interrupting blood flow to the brain, offers the American Stroke Association.

Silent strokes increase risk for other strokes and can be a sign of progressive brain damage. A silent stroke is typically only noticed as a side component of an MRI of the brain. Many times patients do not recall having a stroke and never felt any symptoms. Silent strokes should not be mistaken for ministrokes. Mini-stroke is a brief but discrete and memorable event, with symptoms appearing for a few minutes or a few hours.

According to a study on silent stroke titled “Functional and Cognitive Consequences of Silent Stroke Discovered Using Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in an Elderly Population” and

published in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society, silent strokes are quite common and can have serious consequences.

Researchers have found that silent stroke is associated with impairments in tests of cognitive function rather than movement-oriented performance tests like rising from a chair.

Almost 50 percent of studied silent strokes affected frontal circuit components of the brain, such as the frontal cortex, basal ganglia and thalamus. Lesions in these brain structures compromised executive functions and were related to vascular dementia. Another study showed associations between silent stroke and visual field deficits, weakness in walking on heels, history of memory loss, migraines, and lower scores in cognitive function tests.

The “silent” part of a silent stroke also refers to the areas of the brain that the stroke affects. Experts at Harvard Medical School explain that, during a silent stroke, an interruption in blood flow destroys areas of cells in a part of the brain that is “silent,” meaning that it doesn’t control any vital functions.

Researchers say that, over time, the damage from silent strokes can accumulate, leading to more and more problems with memory. Collectively, silent strokes become silent no longer.

There are certain ways to reduce the risk of any type of stroke. These include: • managing high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels • quitting smoking • reducing the risk of diabetes and effectively treat the condition if it is present • losing weight to prevent obesity • exercising and avoid a sedentary lifestyle • taking a low-dose aspirin or a drug that prevents blood clots.

Silent strokes largely go unrecognized but can lead to significant brain injury. Getting the facts can help men and women reduce their risk for silent stroke.

Changing market of putting a meal on the table

Whether making a meal for a crowd or a handful of people, cooks must first choose a dish and then follow the recipe to get it on the table. But it can sometimes be challenging to choose a menu, especially when faced with aisles of food at the grocery store.

M

eal kits have become increasingly popular over the last few years, appealing to consumers who do not have time to shop for groceries. Meal kits also are coveted by those looking for inspiration for meal ideas.

According to Packaged Facts, a leading publisher of market research in the food, beverage and consumer packaged goods sectors, the meal kit industry is worth more than $1.5 billion. Technavio’s market research analysts say the global meal kit delivery service market will grow at a rate of almost 21 percent between 2018 and 2022.

There are several advantages to meal kits. Consumers do not have to plan or shop for groceries, which affords more time to prepare the food. Another benefit is that these carefully curated meal boxes encourage

14 | Now & Then

consumers to step outside of their comfort zones to try new ingredients. Furthermore, with step-by-step instructions, customers learn preparation techniques through easy-to-follow recipes. Cooking tips and other information may be provided with the kit.

For the waste-conscious, meal kits are great because only the ingredients needed for the recipe are included.

That means that there is little to no wasted food.

Certain services, such as Plated, offer two-, three- and four-serving recipe options delivered right to your door.

If a dinner party is in the works, customers can simply order as many kits as they need. Other companies, such as Sun Basket, enable customers to receive two, three or four meals per week, which offers greater variety in subscription plans. Marley Spoon meal service tags recipes with labels like “kid-friendly” or “under 30 minutes” so that customers can find options that work best for them.

Meal delivery services take the work out of putting meals on the table. Such services let people without much time on their hands enjoy homecooked meals, and also can help others expand their culinary horizons.

To extend or not to extend...

You might not need that extended warranty

Millions of people purchase gifts regularly either online or at a brick and mortar store. At check out, oftentimes customers are asked by cashiers if they would like to purchase a warranty for their gifts, particularly when the items in the cart are electronics or larger gifts.

I

n one of Consumer Reports’ latest surveys on electronics purchases, 65 percent of in-store shoppers said sales staff had presented a service plan to them.

People may not know how to answer when asked about extended warranties. Consumer Reports notes that some retailers push hard to get customers to purchase extended warranties and service plans because they’re particularly lucrative for the retailer. Stores often keep 50 percent or more of what they charge for these warranties.

For the most part, retail industry experts say that consumers do not need added protection on their purchases.

According to the consumer advice tech site iMore, the outof-pocket costs for most repairs on electronics or other items, such as appliances, usually do not exceed the price of a service plan being purchased. And when they do, it’s maybe $20 more.

Some repairs may already be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and a service plan will only duplicate coverage. Even though manufacturer warranties may not last as long as they

once did, Consumer Reports says that many warranties will cover a product for at least 90 days in full, and some may have longer-ranging coverage.

Consumers should not overlook their credit cards as they pertain to purchase protection, either. Many credit cards will extend the manufacturer’s warranty for a certain period of time.

Plus, that coverage is part of having and using the card at no additional cost.

Shopping at stores known to have excellent return policies also can help customers skip service plans. Should the item break, they can simply return it to the retailer with the receipt or other proof of purchase.

Many service plans exclude certain repairs and replacements.

Therefore, it is important to read the fine print on extended warranties prior to purchasing one.

Extended warranties may be useful when buying computers or televisions that cost more than $1,500. Some people prefer replacement plans for smartphones in the event the phone is lost or damaged, as these devices can be expensive to replace out-of-pocket.

Local Feature

Entering a Nursing Home: Read the Fine Print

by Doris Sigg

”Nursing homes provide their residents with 24-hour safety monitoring, daily living assistance, and advanced on-site medical care...

They also sponsor social activities such as art classes, cooking classes, birthday parties and movie nights. A nursing home is place for a person who can't be cared for at home but don't need a hospital. Nursing homes typically have a nursing staff on site 24 hours a day. Some are set up like hospitals with physical, speech and occupational therapy. Some have special units for Alzheimer and dementia patients. Nursing homes are not only for the elderly; they are for anyone who needs 24-hour care. Up until recently, nursing homes were rigid and institutionalized. There were rules and a schedule for everything (waking, sleeping, eating, bathing, etc.). Now the culture is changing to one of resident-centered care. They want their residents to feel like they're at home. Many nursing homes are households—small groups of residents living under the same roof with the same staff sharing meals and activities.

Some homes are on campuses with multiple households.

Resident dogs and cats can often be found in the homes.

And some homes let residents bring in their own pets” (from seniorliving.org).

Finding the right nursing home can be challenging, though— emotionally and financially. And as the population ages, more and more seniors will find themselves in the position of entering a nursing home. Wooster Attorney Brian E. Krebs has some advice for those about to embark on this journey. The first step might be to call the Area Agency on Aging and ask for the long-term care ombudsman. This person can make recommendations and provide information about particular nursing homes. Once you or your loved one is in a nursing home, they can work to resolve care issues; inform you of your rights and your care options; advocate for you with nursing home staff and at care planning meetings; and appeal MEDICARE and MEDICAID service or care terminations. The ombudsman for the Wayne County area is Melissa Haddix, and she can be reached at 1-800-421-7277 or 330-896-9172. Holmes County residents should call 330-3643465 where there are six ombudsmen to be of service.

The next piece of advice Mr. Krebs has relates to paperwork.

There’s a lot of it, and it can be overwhelming and it’s probably best to consult with an attorney who is experienced with nursing home matters. There are two main pitfalls to avoid. One is arbitration clauses, and the other is family members unwittingly signing over their assets for payment in the event the principal loses the ability to pay. Concerning the arbitration clause, you need to be aware that if you sign it, you will lose your right to

18 | Now & Then

a jury trial. In most cases, the arbitration piece takes away your constitutional rights to sue for punitive damages, medical costs and attorney fees. Arbitration means that a panel of attorneys decides the case instead of a jury of one’s peers. The arbitration language can be handed to you as a stand-alone piece, or it can be imbedded in a mass of paperwork. “Take your black magic marker with you and cross out the language that pertains to arbitration,” says Krebs. In addition, in most cases, you must send a certified letter, within thirty days, to the nursing home administrator which states you will not be subjected an arbitration process and that you maintain your right to a jury trial.

Pay close attention to what you or your loved one signs upon admission to a nursing home. You or they may be signing away rights that are protected under the Nursing Home Patients’ Bill of Rights. And if you are signing for someone who is being admitted, you have to make sure you are not signing on the line that would make you personally liable for the bills. Krebs cautions against signing on computer tablets instead of paper.

They can be misleading and you can accidentally sign away rights you do not intend to give up.

Should a power of attorney or guardian become a necessity, the simple power of attorney allows an attorney or another responsible person to be the sole decision maker. If a guardian is appointed, a judge oversees most decision-making.

When choosing a nursing home, ask a lot of questions. And take two tours, one unannounced. Observe whether the staff appears cheerful or angry. Visiting hours should be flexible. Check out the ratio of STNA’s to patients. Ohio no longer has requirements, but, of course, the more STNA’s, the better. Krebs also suggests finding out the pay rate for nurses and to make sure they are not agency nurses because nurses from the outside do not know the patients.

Krebs says “most nursing homes and assisted living facilities are ethical, conscientious and treat the residents well. Unfortunately, some…are just the opposite. Some…engage in cost-cutting measures which sacrifice quality care in favor of higher profits. The results can be devastating to nursing home residents and their families.” Krebs can be contacted at 330-262-9290 or bekrebs@ embarqmail.com.
