Buckner Westminster Place:

Mind, Body, & Soul
hen thinking about the front line heroes of the pandemic, our minds often go to nurses, doctors, and first responders, but if there is one thing the country has learned over the course of 2020, it’s heroes are all around, stepping up to serve others. The job of a chaplain at a faith-based senior living community has always been demanding, but the pandemic has amplified their responsibilities tenfold. Chaplains are not only working tirelessly as spiritual guides, but they are now one of the few connections many isolated senior adults have to the outside world. Rick Webb has been with senior living provider Buckner Retirement Services since 2000, serving as the chaplain at Westminster Place in Longview. Like each chaplain at all six Buckner Retirement Services communities in
Texas, Webbhas implemented creative ways to share messages of faith, hope and comfort in the wake of coronavirus social distancing measures and the closure of health care areas to visitors. While the safety strategies created distance from potential harm, they also created distance from residents’ churches, community worship meetings, and each other. It’s a situation that might seem to lessen residents’ hope, but the chaplains are fighting the coronavirus threat in their own unique way – from the soul. Several times a week, Webb leads small chapel services that are also televised for residents via Westminster Place’s inhouse cable television channel. “I am leading it myself – music and message – so no outside person is engaged,” Webb said, noting he is taking additional precautions to lessen
the possibility of exposure to residents. “I am limiting my life to Buckner and home and no other people than Westminster Place and my family.” Webb also admits giving his cell number to any resident who wants to talk or text, no matter the day or time. Westminster Place follows a holistic approach to wellness care, which the pandemic has only heightened the need for. This means meeting the whole person’s needs: physical, mental, social and spiritual. Webb says that by teaching “holistic living,” we acknowledge that we must first deal with a deficit in our society: the deficit that many people lead fragmented lives. Buckner communities must be wholly holistic. “All parts of every individual are interrelated. What builds me up
physically empowers me mentally. A good meal is not just the food – it is the blessing of good company. That also is our holistic lesson to woo the resident to ever deeper living,” said Webb. “As a faith-based community, our foundation is an intra-denominational Christian approach to improving one’s ability to deal with this life’s challenges and prepare for eternity. Aging quickly reveals the impotency of the nontranscendent solution.” Chaplain Rick Webb plays an integral part in how Buckner is working to protect and heal the bodies, minds and souls of residents at Westminster place during the pandemic and beyond. October is Pastor Appreciation Month, making it the perfect time to acknowledge his inspiring work, and the work of chaplains everywhere.
5 ways seniors can stay safe and active during COVID-19 B
Courtesy of Brandpoint
y now, most seniors are aware that they’re among the most vulnerable demographic groups when it comes to contracting COVID-19. That said, a recent nationwide poll by Tivity Health®, a national provider of senior fitness, nutrition and healthy lifestyle solutions, including SilverSneakers®, the nation’s leading community fitness program designed for older adults, indicates many are probably not getting the exercise they need to maintain optimal health. In the poll, 46% of adult and senior respondents said the pandemic is preventing them from attending inperson exercise classes at local gyms, although 84% noted they’ll return within a month once attendance is deemed safe by authorities.
A core challenge is reduced gym access, as quarantines prove problematic for many older Americans trying to continue exercise regimens. Exercise remains critical for seniors to maintain a healthy immune system that’s able to fight off disease. Regular workouts can also increase balance and strength and help prevent falls. For seniors, falls are an all too common threat and crisis; Johns Hopkins University reports that 25% of adults 65 or older fall, and three million are treated in emergency rooms each year for injuries caused by falls. “This pandemic has brought great challenges and stress for seniors.

If you’re a senior wanting to maintain effective workouts each day, here are some tips you can follow even if you’re practicing social isolation. Start slowly. If you haven’t been exercising, you’ll want to ease into your new routine gradually. Studies indicate just two weeks of inactivity (or a 75% reduction in daily steps) can decrease your muscle strength by 8%, while dropping 1,000 to 1,500 steps each day can both raise both

5 safety tips for medications in your home A
Courtesy of Brandpoint
ny medications in the home carry the risk of someone misusing them, whether accidentally or on purpose. According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 92% of post-surgical prescriptions went unused, making them available for potential misuse. And according to a Journal of the American Medical Association study, over 60% of people with leftover prescription opioids kept pills for future use rather than disposing of them, with one in five admitting they shared medication with someone else. How can you help prevent drug misuse? Here are tips to keep your home safer for everyone. 1. Store medicines securely While many store medications in a medicine cabinet, humidity levels in a bathroom can actually break down medications, making them less effective. In addition, storing meds in a medicine cabinet makes them susceptible to theft by anyone entering your home looking for drugs. Storing prescription medications in a bedside table may also seem convenient, but again leaves them open for misuse or abuse.
home, it’s best to keep all medications - including vitamins - in a high cabinet and secured out of harm’s way.
Poison Control online at www.poison. org or by calling 1-800-222-1222. 4. Don’t call medications “candy”
2. Discard medications safely Go through prescription and overthe-counter medications regularly to identify leftover or expired medicines. This helps prevent accidental or purposeful misuse, which protects your entire family. To safely dispose of medicines, the Deterra® Drug Deactivation System is a medication disposal pouch or container that can be used at home. It is the safest, most effective way to irreversibly destroy and properly dispose of unused, unwanted and expired medications in minutes, with the simple addition of tap water. Deterra is the only product available today that is scientifically proven to deactivate prescription and over-the-counter medicines, including addictive opioids. Deterra’s plant-based packaging, with non-toxic ingredients, also helps prevent harmful chemicals from entering landfills and water supplies.
If someone in your family takes medicine or vitamins, never refer to it as “candy” to convince the child to take it or to explain why you’re taking it. This could make the child more likely to try taking pills that they find. 5. Don’t share prescriptions You may think you’re doing a friend or relative a favor by sharing pills from a leftover pain prescription but that medication was prescribed to you by a healthcare provider for a specific purpose, with knowledge
of your health condition and other medications you take. You may not be aware of potentially harmful drug interactions or side effects your friend could experience by taking your medication. Stay safe by disposing of unused medications as soon as you no longer need to take them. This October, in honor of Substance Abuse Prevention Month, Deterra is giving away free drug deactivation pouches with their nonprofit partner SAFE (Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic) Project.

Amazing benefits to seniors having pets P Courtesy of Metro
ets bring much joy to the lives they touch. So it should come as no surprise that the 2019-2020 National Pet Owners Survey, which was conducted by the American Pet Products Association, found that about 85 million families in the United States own a pet. In Canada, 7.5 million households are home to companion animals, states the PetBacker blog. Pets offer companionship and unconditional love. While they are fitting for any family, seniors may find that having a pet is especially beneficial. The organization A Place for Mom, which helps match families with senior living residences, says pets provide a comfort system that produces measurable health results. Caring for pets and being around them can produce a chemical chain reaction in the brain that may help to lower stress hormones while also increasing production of the feelgood hormone serotonin. This is not the only health benefit pets may provide. A recent study from the Mayo Clinic, which looked at 1,800 people between the ages of 25 and 64 who had healthy hearts, found that almost half owned a dog. Having a dog was likely to spur heart-healthy behaviors, like exercising with the pet, eating well and having ideal blood sugar levels. Pets also provide emotional support and companionship that can help seniors - including those who may be divorced or widowed - feel more secure and happy. The National Poll on Healthy Aging found that, among respondents who had pets, 88 percent said their pets helped them enjoy life, and 86 percent said their pets made them feel loved.
Seniors considering getting a pet can
explore the many benefits to doing so. •
Reduce pain: A 2012 study published in Pain Magazine found therapy dogs provided “significant reduction in pain and emotional distress for chronic pain patients.”
•
Feeling of purpose: Caring for an animal not only stimulates physical activity, but it also can give seniors a reason to get up and go, which equates to a feeling of purpose.
•
Altered focus: Having a pet can help seniors focus on something other than physical or mental health issues and preoccupations about loss or aging, according to New York-based psychologist Penny B. Donnenfeld.
•
Increased physical activity: Pets require care, and that interaction can get seniors moving more than if they didn’t have a pet.
•
Improved health: Ongoing research from Harvard Medical School has found dog owners have lower blood pressure, healthier cholesterol levels and lower risk of heart disease than those who don’t own a dog.
•
Stick to routine: Caring for pets helps seniors maintain a routine. Having structure after retirement can be important to ward off risk of depression. Staying on top of feeding, grooming and other pet needs also can help prevent cognitive decline.
Pets bring many benefits to their owners’ lives, and they may be the perfect remedy for seniors looking for a friend and purpose.

5 tips to help you thrive during stressful times Courtesy of Brandpoint
L
Life is unpredictable. Between these stressful times and your own personal challenges, you’re probably dealing with more today than perhaps ever. Stress can throw your body, emotions and routine off course, but sometimes even the worst of situations can provide a silver lining. A recent survey found more than half of respondents said they cook more than before the pandemic with 51% stating they will continue to cook more after the crisis ends. Besides healthier eating habits, more than 75% of participants have adopted at least one new wellness habit. According to McKel Kooienga, M.S., R.D.N., L.D.N. of Nutrition Stripped and One A Day brand partner, making small adjustments in key aspects of your day can make a big difference long-term when it comes to supporting your healthy lifestyle. Here are five tips from McKel that will help you: Tip 1: Choose nutritious foods When we think about stress relief, meditation or yoga may come to mind first, but diet can also play an important role in reducing the negative effects of stress on your body. A diet rich in whole foods can provide many benefits, including supporting a healthy immune system and even boosting your mood. Although it can be challenging to eat healthy with limited time, setting aside a few hours a week to food prep can help improve diet and lead to reduced stress levels. So, instead of reaching for takeout menus, cut up veggies for easy graband-go snacking, stock your pantry
with nutritious options and set yourself and your family up for success. Tip 2: Add a multivitamin Nobody is perfect and it can be difficult to get all of the nutrients you need from food alone. Stress can also deplete many vital vitamins like B vitamins and vitamin E. Adding a multivitamin to your daily routine like One A Day Natural Fruit Bites Multivitamins that offer key vitamins and minerals your body may need in the form of tasty bites made with real farm-grown apples (in the form of apple puree concentrate) can help supplement a healthy diet. These bites support physical energy by helping convert food to fuel and immune and bone health. They are available for the whole family, making it easier to get the key nutrients needed.
best part? You don’t have to volunteer in person to give back. Packing meals at home to drop off for those in need, fostering or adopting an animal, tutoring students or making virtual calls to the elderly can make a big impact. It’s also something the whole family can do together to feel more connected to the community, all while helping to reduce stress. Tip 5: Take a Digital Detox It’s no surprise nearly 80% of Americans are spending more time on screens to ease feelings of isolation, anxiety and disconnection. Technology may seem like a saving grace to many looking for comfort, but increased use contributes to stress and can disrupt quality and length of
Tip 4: Volunteer Adding purpose to your life may be just what the doctor ordered. Research from the University of Georgia found people who volunteer regularly feel better mentally, physically and emotionally. And the
“... small adjustments in key aspects of your day can make a big difference long-term when it comes to supporting your healthy lifestyle.”
These are just a few simple tips that will help you live your best today no matter what tomorrow brings. Keep a positive attitude and be patient and you’ll find your groove again.
Affordable Housing for Seniors
Step 3: Move More When you exercise your body releases endorphins, which can help you feel better. Not to mention, exercise has also been linked to reduced stress, lower risk of disease and longer lifespan. You don’t have to hit the gym to move. Take a walk outside, check out the many free workouts offered online, or have a dance party with the kids. As long as you pick something you enjoy, it will be easier to stick to.
sleep. Disconnecting entirely may not be possible, but setting boundaries and selecting windows of time to shut off can do wonders for your mental health. Limiting social media use to about 30 minutes per day has been shown to significantly improve well-being by reducing symptoms of depression and loneliness. Whether implementing a no-device policy at meals, trying to go screen free for one day of the week or simply taking a much-needed break from social media, pick something that’s realistic for you and your family.

Why it’s now, more than ever, important to get a flu vaccine F
Courtesy of Brandpoint
lu causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and tens of thousands of deaths in the United States yearly. This year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to get a flu vaccine to protect yourself, your family and your community from flu and its potentially serious consequences. Both flu and COVID-19 are respiratory illnesses that are thought to spread mainly by droplets when people who are infected cough, sneeze or talk. Both flu and COVID-19 can be spread to others before infected people know they are sick. There are also some key differences between flu and COVID-19. COVID-19
seems to spread more easily than flu and causes more serious illnesses in some people. It can also take longer before people show symptoms and people can be contagious for longer. Another important difference is there is a vaccine to protect against flu. There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus.
provides the best protection against flu and is particularly important this year. Flu vaccines help reduce the risk of developing potentially serious flu complications. This is especially important for people with certain longterm health conditions like diabetes, asthma and heart disease. Flu vaccines are also important for people who are 65 years or older who are more likely to get very sick from flu.
While what will happen this fall and winter is uncertain, CDC is preparing for flu and COVID-19 to spread at the same time. Besides making people sick, this could result in a dangerous public health situation because both diseases can cause serious illness that might require hospitalization. Getting a flu vaccine
Reducing the number of people who are sick with flu also can reduce the burden on our medical systems. More people getting vaccinated can mean that fewer people will need to go to doctors’ offices for flu treatment and testing, and fewer people will need to seek urgent medical care or be hospitalized with flu. These reductions in doctor visits and hospitalizations can
help save medical resources needed for the care of COVID-19 patients. CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get their flu vaccine in September or October, or as soon as possible after that. Talk to your healthcare provider, pharmacy, or health department about getting your flu vaccine. Doctors, pharmacists and other health professionals are putting new procedures in place to keep people safe from COVID-19 during vaccination. It’s also important to continue social distancing, wearing a mask and washing hands often - all these actions help slow the spread of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 and flu. Not sure where to get a flu vaccine? Visit vaccinefinder.org to find a vaccination location near you.

What is Elder Abuse?
By Sherry Gibbon Texas Bank and Trust Community Relations Manager
W
hen I first heard the words “Elder Abuse” I thought of physical or mental abuse to an individual and did not understand the full definition of the term. So, what is elder abuse, exactly? It’s “a series of intentional actions that cause harm or create a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable senior.” It is not just physical or emotional, but also financial harm. According to privacy advocate Paul Bischoff’s article, “The United States of Elder Fraud,” the state of Texas lost almost $11.6 billion to elder fraud in the last year, with 12(%) percent of elderly Texans falling victim, for an estimated 616,583 incidents in all. And, these numbers only account for the scams that are reported. Many victims do not report the fraud to authorities because they fear no one will believe them; they are ashamed of what has happened; or they may be afraid of retaliation. The month of October is Cybersecurity awareness month and what better time to bring awareness to our seniors of cybercrime. There a several ways that fraud can occur through our digital devices if we are not alert and educated on the latest scams.

may be surprised to know that the most common wrongdoer is often a family member, followed by friends, neighbors, and caregivers. Family members may feel justified that they are taking what they may potentially inherit later. Or,they may feel a sense of “entitlement” due to a negative personal relationship with the older person, or that it is somehow the price of a promise of lifelong care. There may even be instances that someone takes the money to prevent other family members from receiving the funds;there is a serious need due to gambling, or other financial issues,such as to fund substance abuse.
