Sound Relief Hearing Center gives back to community Submitted by Sound Relief Hearing Center When Dr. Julie Prutsman and her husband Patrick, owners of Sound Relief Hearing Center in Highlands Ranch, opened their audiology practice in January 2012, they knew they could make a difference in the community. One way they have

been able to serve the community is through their “Give the Gift of Better Hearing” contest.

“Nothing is more difficult to me as an audiologist and health care practitioner than being confronted with an individual who is hearing impaired but who does not have the sufficient financial resources to bet-

ter their lives,” said Julie. “Hearing loss affects not only the person afflicted but also their family, their job and their friends. Through our ‘Gift of Better Hearing’ contest, we can help. In last year’s giveaway, we had two ladies receive over 1,200 votes each. We really had no choice but to award each of those participants

Heflebower is a ‘heart’ based company Funeral services provider aims to serve those in need

Submitted by Heflebower t the turn of the 20th century, the Heflebower family came to Colorado and settled in the Arkansas River Valley. More than 100 years later, the family operates a funeral business in the south metro Denver. The Heflebowers have deep Colorado roots for the past five generations, and they are integral to the Denver-area communities in which they now reside.

Heflebower Funeral Services came to Highlands Ranch and the south metro area in early fall 2013 with the philosophy of service beyond expectations, by quality funeral professionals with the trust of a small town business.

Mike Heflebower with his father, Dr. Lee Heflebower, combined more than 30 years of funeral service experiences. Mike is National Board Certified and a licensed funeral director and embalmer since 1990, and has worked in all facets of the business from small, private firms, to large, corporate-owned facilities.

Lee has Ph.D. in Psychology and has been involved in the funeral industry for the past 10 years.

Heflebower Funeral Services is a “heart” based company. We are a full service funeral provider, working with all religions, churches and cemeteries through-

A

out the metro area. Heflebower’s goal is to serve people with generosity of spirit and care to those in need.

The location is a very comfortable place for families to gather and plan the remembrances of their loved ones. The funeral service company can accommodate any size of service either at its own facility, or with area churches and other larger venues.

Heflebower’s prices are realistic and reasonable. We focus on serving the families with affordable dignity and respect of their individual needs. This is no “Big Box” funeral provider, therefore Heflebower’s staff takes the time to consider each family’s needs for personalization. A general price list is available on the website along with a link to view caskets and urns at www.heflebowerfuneralservices.com.

The company also offers an

Long-Term Care Costs 101 Calculating expenses, determining how to pay for it

MorningStar offers Senior Living Decision Guide

Submitted by Cara O’Connor, MorningStar at Jordan Retirement options are brighter and wider than ever before in history. Yet all those choices can sometimes just lead to confusion.

Our first advice is to clearly identify what you’re trying to solve, with an eye not just to next year, but to the next 5-10 years.

Assisted Living is the best choice if your parent or spouse needs more personal care than he/ she can get (or afford) in the home or in an Independent Living community, yet doesn’t need 24-hour medical care and supervision. Ask yourself: will this transition ease stress on either the senior’s life or the family caregiver’s?

Starting the Conversation

Pick a time and place that’s relaxed. Then start slow. This is not a once-for-all conversation; it often comes in stages. Still, you might be surprised. Perhaps your loved one has been thinking about this very thing for some time. Don’t forget to include the benefits — a new ad-

venture — in your discussion.

Finding Candidates

Ah, Google. There you will find more choices than you can imagine.

Too many, really. So first narrow the field geographically, then by type of community. Limit yourself to three to four candidates.

The adult child (or healthier spouse) is typically given the initial legwork. Tour no more than two communities in a day (or risk becoming overwhelmed).

Take notes. Begin to weigh value against cost. If you like what you see and hear, return to your top two with your loved one for a more social tour.

Talk it Up

Speak with friends about Senior Living to glean from their experience. Consult with trusted advisors who have already guided you through major life decisions.

Who Should Make the Decision?

This often comes down to a con-

sensus among several family members.

The senior him or herself, even if suffering from dementia, must be given a voice. After all, we’re talking about their new home. Their new adventure. Yes, they may be losing some capabilities, but our human spirit craves dignity, independence and choice.

In the end, don’t let the complexities of this decision mask the fact that your instincts are to be trusted.

One place will just feel like home.

And the staff will feel like family.

You’ll know it straight away.

We hope that one place is MorningStar.

There are important realities every American must know about long-term care. Long-term care is more expensive than most people think. And, most importantly, the cost of care is usually paid for out of savings and income.

About 70 percent of people turning 65 can expect to need some kind of long-term care as they age. A number of public programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, may help pay for some long-term care services under certain circumstances. However, each program has specific rules about what services are covered, how long you can receive benefits, whether or not you qualify for benefits, and how much you have to pay in out-of-pocket costs. To accurately plan for your long-term care needs, it is very important to know the facts about what may or may not be covered.

Medicare focuses on acute-care costs

Medicare covers medically necessary care and focuses on medical acute care, such as doctor visits, drugs and hospital stays. If very specific conditions are met, Medicare will help pay for all or a portion of a short stay in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care or home health care. Medicare does not cover custodial long-term care services.

Medicaid only available if income and assets are low enough

Medicaid is a joint federal and

state government program that helps people with low income and assets pay for some or all of their health care bills. It covers medical care, long-term care services in nursing homes and long-term care services provided at home. Rules about who is eligible for Medicaid benefits and what services are covered are based on federal requirements, but states have considerable leeway in how they operate their programs.

Paying out-of-pocket for care

If you have enough income and savings, you will need to pay for long-term care services on your own, from your incomes, savings and, possibly, the equity in your home. Many people believe wrongly the medical insurance or disability insurance they currently have will pay for all or much of their long-term care. In general, health insurance covers only very limited and specific types of longterm care. Disability policies serve to replace income and, as such, do not cover long-term care at all.

Long-term care insurance is designed to cover long-term services and supports. Policies reimburse policyholders a daily amount (up to a pre-selected limit) for services to assist them with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing or eating. You can then select a range of care options and benefits that allow you to get the services you need, where you need them. If you are in poor health or already receiving long-term care services, you may not qualify for long-term care insurance.

For more information about additional methods of paying for long-term care, including reverse mortgages, annuities and trusts, visit www.longtermcare.gov.

A healthy, happy life at any age Inn at Greenwood Village offers health services to enjoy life

With average lifespans at 81 years for women and 76 years for men, more of us are living longer today than at any other time in history. That’s why it is important to keep today’s extra later-in-life years healthy so you can continue to enjoy life.

Some of the basics to staying healthy are to keep a positive outlook on life, manage stress, be active to keep your heart healthy, stay flexible and strong, eat healthy foods, and keep off excess body weight to be fit and trim.

But that is easier said than done.

Oftentimes we create unrealistic goals for health, setting ourselves up to quit before we even get started.

Here are a few simple steps to help you stay on track to reach your fitness goals.

Be very clear and realistic about your goals. Write them down, set a deadline, read your written goals and visualize. If you can’t visualize the realization of your goals, they aren’t achievable. For example, if you use a walker and struggle to get across the room, setting a goal to walk around the garden without your walker in 4 months is realistic and achievable. Setting the goal at 2 weeks is not so realistic.

SHARE TH

Come try our S The key to staying happy and healthy while ageing is exercise, eating right and managing stress at the same time. The Inn at Call 303.416.28 Greenwood Village offers steps to help keep you on track.

Make a written plan with the small steps necessary to achieve your goal. Using the above example, write a plan to walk an extra

30 steps day. Take out a calendar or notebook and keep a journal of your daily progress and modify as needed.

Share your goals with others.

Share your goals, benefits of your goals and even your obstacles with your friends. Put together an accountability group and support each other. You can even make it fun by taking a yoga, tai chi or a dance class together.

Be disciplined. Every day you either take a step toward your goal or you take a step away. If you do nothing you are moving away, but there is no step forward

that is too small.

Reward and encourage yourself. Keep a “fitness fund” to create a tangible reward at the end to buy yourself something special for achieving your goals. And most importantly, encourage yourself. Give yourself a pat on the back or tell yourself you are doing a good job.

No matter what your age, it is never too late to feel better. Start today but make sure to consult with your physician first. If you have questions or need help setting a plan, call Carol, The Inn at Greenwood Village director of Health Services, at 303-416-2800.

HighPointe’s amenities please new resident Frank Quintana Submitted by HighPointe rank Quintana recently made the move to HighPointe Assisted Living and Memory Care from the west side of town.

He is a retired assistant fire chief from the Denver Fire Department where he worked for 30 years.

After living independently in another senior living community, he decided that it was time to leave the cooking and cleaning up to someone else and move closer to his family. HighPointe was just what he needed.

The move went smoothly as Frank’s son, Dave, worked hard to set up his dad’s new home while Frank was treated to a variety of services (haircut, shave and manicure) at the on-site salon.

Being one of the first residents to move in, he had his pick of a lovely apartment that features both a mountain and downtown Denver

F

view.

HighPointe offers a variety of activities throughout the four-level building, with 40% of the community reserved specifically for community space. Frank enjoys doing everything from learning how to use the computer in the library; watching comedies in the theatre to baking tasty treats and solving puzzles in the brightly lit community room.

Not only are the amenities abundant, but the dining room offers restaurant-style dining where each meal is prepared to order and served fresh daily.

Frank said, “The cuisine offered here is top notch and always served with a smile.”

Eating with the other residents creates a wonderful dining experience as there is no shortage of conversation between the diverse population.

Happy hour in the Sky Lounge is a unique treat at HighPointe

with a refreshing feel as residents are given the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful Colorado sunset over the Rocky Mountains while sipping on their favorite beverage. Although not always on his way to the Wellness Center (with its state-of-the-art workout equipment), Frank often passes by on his way to consume a freshly baked cookie in the Bistro… both that are available anytime throughout the day.

When asked what he likes best about living at HighPointe, Frank said, “The staff, they are always there when you need them. Everything is here for us, you just have to ask or join in.”

If you or a loved one is interested in learning more about our community, visit www.highpointeassistedliving.com or call 303951-4397.

A senior living community can be a home away from home

RiverPointe Senior Community of Littleton offers a maintenance-free lifestyle with many amenities for residents to enjoy.

Enjoy retirement with a maintenance-free lifestyle at RiverPointe Submitted by Donna Macauley, director of marketing at RiverPointe I began working in the senior housing industry more than 12 years ago and haven’t looked back since.

I love everything about my career: the daily variety, the learning experiences, the friendships. Maybe the most enjoyable aspect of working in independent senior housing is the feeling of “a job well done,” that moment when a new resident comes to me and says, “I wish I had done this years ago.”

I pride myself in my professionalism and strive to maintain a well defined barrier between my family life and work life. In the last year though, I’ve found this barrier has its challenges, as I am, after-all, an adult child of an aging parent.

My 88-year-old father — a sharp,

very funny, independent man who had lived alone in an apartment in Portland, Ore., for most of the latter part of his life — was quickly growing frail. He used to walk to the grocery store, the coffee shop and the book store with ease, until peripheral neuropathy made negotiating the walkway to the mailbox a daily battle. Cooking for himself was of little interest and his weight loss was becoming a concern.

My sisters saw the change in my father and I certainly heard about them via many frantic late night phone calls. My father seemed to find new ways to adjust to his lack of mobility. When I would talk to him on the phone he would say, “I’m doing fine honey, don’t worry about me!” He had always been insistent on living independently, with an abhorrence of the concept of being put in an “old folks home.”

Since I work as the director of marketing for an independent senior community in Littleton, I talk with

hundreds of families every year who have concerns over the safety and quality of the life their parent or parents are experiencing. Frequently a parent chooses to stay in their home until the decision is made for them, either by a physician, medical professional or even adult social services. I will confess that my dad was so adamant about staying in his apartment that I actually contemplated calling social services myself. It seemed an easier solution than broaching the subject with him myself.

Eventually I received a call from my youngest sister, saying that dad had fallen and was on the floor of his apartment. In an effort to stay independent he had taken the spare key from her, so now she couldn’t get in to help. I can just imagine my poor sister talking to my dad through

his living room window as he was sprawled out on the floor, unable to get up, and hearing him say, “Now’s not a good time, can you come back later?”

I realized that the “crisis” had come and we would have to do something.

One of the many obstacles I hear about in working with adult children is Donna Macauley that each of shares her the kids has experience with a different her 88-year-old thought about what mom or father’s transition dad should do. from living Often times independently they can’t to joininga a agree on what senior housing is the right fitcommunity. moving in with

family members, hire professional in-home care, an assisted living or independent living facility. My sisters and I had several conversations about what dad needed. I thought he would benefit from socialization, one sister thought he needed in-home companion service and another thought he should move in with her family.

I felt that any change was better than no change at all and also took into consideration that although I work in senior housing, I was not living near him. I had to trust and respect my sisters who saw him on a regular basis. I also knew that things could get worse before they got better.

I stayed in touch with dad via phone and Internet, as the family discussed the many choices that were available to him. Some conversations were between just my sisters and I and some discussions were with dad.

I began sharing stories about the seniors that lived at RiverPointe (my community) with my father. Some of the stories were sweet, some colorful, some downright unbelievable. Dad

and I would laugh at the absurdity of some of the stories (names were changed to protect the innocent). I opened this article saying that I love everything about my job and these full, rich stories are a huge part of my delight.

To my surprise, my dad started doing a little research on his own. He, being very computer literate, googled senior communities in Portland and called my sister so they could tour an independent community that seemed to fit his needs and budget. The community invited him to dinner four days in a row...and he was hooked.

He signed a lease and was ready to move in the next day!

My father has lived in his community for a year now. He has made new friends, he has lost friends. He has been warmly welcomed back after hospitalizations and he’s enjoyed the company of his extended family around a big table in the dining room with a meal unlike anything he ever had in his apartment.

I will be visiting him later this month to celebrate his 89th birthday.

Although I have both sisters living nearby, I will be staying in the guest suite at his senior community.

I’m excited to meet his friends, of which he now has many. We’ll play Wii bowling, eat well and hear some pretty outrageous stories of seniors behaving badly.

Recently, dad asked why we didn’t want him to move to a senior community? Hmmmm...Something must have gotten lost in translation. I suppose the marketing director at his community is hearing that beloved phrase from my dad; “I wish I had done this years ago!”

My advice for helping a parent find his or her way as they get older is the same advice our parents had for us: “Be patient, be forgiving, be respectful and never give up!”
