Whether it was raising our family, pursuing careers or giving back to the community, we’ve done our best to make every moment of our lives count. The same is true now. That’s why we chose a Brookdale community for our retirement. Our days begin and end in a spacious apartment home. But in between there are endless opportunities to do the things that matter most to us, like travel, fitness, hobbies and enjoying the company of friends and family.

Come see how our community can help you make the most of your life.

It’ll only take a moment.

Letter from the Publisher Dear Readers, Welcome to the inaugural edition of Retirement Connection Guide of Greater Salem, encompassing Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties. This guide is published in conjunction with our Greater Portland/Vancouver Guide.

Our goal is to help seniors, people with disabilities, and their families navigate the many aspects of retirement. This valuable community resource is provided—at no cost to you— by the generous support of our advertisers. Please return the favor by supporting them when you encounter a need for their services.

The table of contents covers more than 50 topics of information and is color coded with the page tabs for easy reference.

An alphabetical index and an advertiser index are in the back of the guide for quick searching.

Our Home Health, In-Home Care and Housing Grids compare specific details about services, amenities and pricing. There are several articles written by local professionals who are available to provide additional information.

A Caregiver Checklist and

Information Request Form are also found in the back of the guide for additional and ongoing support.

We publish twice a year, in April and October, and print 50,000 copies annually. Copies may be found at more than 200 locations including Libraries, Senior Centers, Hospitals, Housing Communities, and local events.

If your physician’s office, local church, or other organization would like additional copies, we will provide these at no cost.

While researching the content of this guide and meeting with the many service providers for seniors and those with disabilities we have encountered an overwhelming need and enthusiastic support for Retirement Connection Guide of Greater Salem. We look forward to growing with each edition and rely on your feedback to help us improve. Please visit our website or contact us at Oregon@ RetirementConnection.com

Telephone Assistance Programs help Oregonians In 1987, Oregon Legislature passed a law assuring adequate and affordable telephone service is available to all Oregonians.

Based on that legislation, the Public Utility Commission of Oregon implemented these three programs:

The Link-Up America Program helps qualified individuals by paying for one-half (up to $30) of the line connection charges for new residential telephone service.

Telecommunication Devices Access Program (TDAP)

Many residential telephone and cellular companies participate in OTAP. Customers can complete or download applications online. Application are available in Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese.

Loans adaptive telephone equipment at no cost and with no income restrictions to eligible Oregonians who have a severe hearing, severe speech, vision, cognitive or mobility impairment and cannot benefit from the use of a standard telephone.

To receive the equipment, qualifying customers must complete and sign Section A of the application available in English and Spanish. The appropriate licensed physician, audiologist, speech-language pathologist or rehabilitation counselor must complete Section B certifying that the person requires adaptive equipment to use the telephone.

Oregon Telephone Assistance Program (OTAP) —Link-Up America Oregonians who receive one of these benefits may receive up to a $13.50 reduction in their monthly bill for local residential telephone service:  Food Stamps  Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)  Supplemental Security Income  State Medical Programs or Medicaid

14

Oregon Telecommunications Relay Service (OTRS) As required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a telephone service that is available for all Oregonians and provides telecommunications access that is functionally equivalent for persons with and without hearing or speech disabilities to communicate via the telephone.

There are several forms of the OTRS available depending on the needs of the user including Captioned Telephone Service, Voice Carry Over, Hearing Carry Over, Speech to Speech Relay Service, Shared Non-English Language Relay Services and Text-to-Voice TTY-based Relay Service.

For additional information, contact the Public Utility Commission of Oregon.

Home Health Definitions: Hospice is a comprehensive program of care to patients and families facing a life threatening illness. Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment. The dying are comforted. Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided. Very few Home Health Agencies are also licensed for Hospice care.

In-Home Care/Personal Care is care related to activities of daily living, including: mobility, eating, toileting, bathing and personal hygiene, dressing and grooming or cognition support. These services are usually provided on a private pay basis and do not require a physician’s order.

Respite Care is short-term or temporary. It is designed to give families a break from the stress of daily caregiving. Respite care can be for a few hours, overnight, or for days.

The amount of care changes with the needs of the family and the ill or disabled person.

24-hour care is “round the clock treatment” in a home environment. The care may be shared by multiple caregivers or by a single caregiver.

Skilled Nursing is a higher level of care where services are preformed by a licensed Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse. Skilled Nursing includes, but is not limited to patient assessments, performance of prescribed medical treatments, administration of prescribed medications, education for the patient and the caregiver (if available) related to the disease process, treatment, health measures and medication management. Skilled Nurses provide medical care as prescribed by physician.

Social Worker refers to a clinical social worker whose purpose in health care is to enhance, promote, maintain, and restore the best possible social abilities of the patient or family. Services provided may be preventive, developmental, or remedial in nature.

Home Health Aides provide support services such as personal care which do not require a licensed nurse. Medicare does not cover home health aides unless the person is also receiving skilled nursing care or other therapy. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) provide personal care such as bathing, dressing, transporting and other essential activities.

Intravenous Therapy is any medical treatments/medications that need to be introduced to the body via a patient’s veins. Numerous IV Therapies can be provided inhome under supervision of a MD. Some of these include: inter-infective/antibiotic therapies, hydration therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and central line care and maintenance.

Diabetic Management refers to services including patient assessment, diet information, management of the disease process, medication management and education on all of the above. Services are provided by a Registered Nurse under the supervision of an M.D. Some agencies may employ certified diabetic nurse instructors or cardiac care specialty RN’s.

Psychiatric Services refers to the agencies ability to offer services related to psychiatric support with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness. Services may include counseling or administering of medications.

Care & Health

Cardiac Care refers to services including patient assessment, specific diet information, and management of the disease process, medication management and education. Cardiac rehabilitation is a program designed to help a person with heart disease return to health. Cardiac rehabilitation may consist of exercise, modifying risk factors to prevent further heart damage, or psychological rehabilitation.

Therapy Services (ST, PT, OT, RT) Speech Therapy (ST) refers to services to assess and treat speech and swallowing disorders.

Speech therapy can treat speech, language, cognitive skills or swallowing. A Therapist provides individually designed treatment programs to maximize communication and swallowing. Depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, common treatments may range from changes in food consistence, physical strengthening exercises, repetitive practice, to the use of audio-visual aids.

Physical Therapy (PT) refers to services for the treatment and the rehabilitation process where a physical therapist will often stretch, strengthen, facilitate muscles, challenge balance, test coordination abilities, teach home exercise programs and enhance basic mobility skills. Exercise techniques are only part of the special skills used by therapists to treat patients to help lessen disability, pain and improve overall function and quality of life.

Therapists may also use special equipment when treating patients which help aid in the healing and recovery of an injury.

Occupational Therapy, (OT) refers to services to assess and treat patients to improve their ability to perform tasks in their daily living and working environments. Patients may have mental, physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities. Therapists also help them to develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. Occupational therapists help clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. The goal is to help patients become as independent, productive, and satisfied as possible.

Respiratory Therapy (RT) refers to services for care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system. It may include the therapeutic use of medical gases and their equipment, environmental control systems, humidification, aerosols, ventilator support, bronchi pulmonary drainage and exercise, respiratory rehabilitation, assistance with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and maintenance of natural, artificial, and mechanical airways.

When it comes to health care, prevention is key. It’s best to avoid getting sick than to get sick and be treated. That’s why regular health screenings are so important.

Necessary and suggested screenings vary by age, but there are several that senior adults should consider and be aware of.

Screenings you may simply need to be reminded of  Blood pressure and cholesterol: You need to watch these, since heart attacks are the number one cause of death in older Americans. This screening can help reduce your chances of a heart attack.  Blood sugar: High blood sugar levels can lead to heart problems, kidney disease, eye damage, nerve disease and other serious problems.  Mammograms: Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. Women should get annual mammograms, starting at age 40.  Colon cancer screening: Often associated with men, colorectal cancer is common in both men and women, usually in those over 50, but the risk increases with age. Treatment works best when found early. 

Prostate cancer screening: Starting at age 50, men should get checked annually.

There are a variety of ways your doctor can test for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is treatable when caught early.

Screenings you may not know you need  Bone density screenings: These are important because they help identify osteoporosis, or weak bones. It’s as simple as a quick heel scan and can help you take action before your bones become brittle.

Care & Health Category

Screening your way to a healthier life

 Glaucoma screenings: Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by extra fluid pressure in your eye. It can cause gradual sight loss, often without symptoms.  Flu shots: You should get one every year. They’re free for anyone in Medicare. You can’t get the flu from getting the flu shot!  Pneumococcal vaccine: This vaccine prevents the spread of pneumococcal disease, caused by a common bacterium, and which may cause the most common form of community acquired bacterial pneumonia.

Hospice is a concept of caring derived from medieval times, symbolizing a place where travelers, pilgrims and the sick, wounded or dying could find rest and comfort. The contemporary hospice offers a comprehensive program of care to patients and families facing a life threatening illness. Hospice is primarily a concept of care, not a specific place of care.

Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment; quality rather than quantity of life. The dying are comforted.

Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided.

The patient and family are both included in the care plan and emotional, spiritual and practical support is given based on the patient’s wishes and family’s needs. Trained volunteers can offer respite care for family members as well as meaningful support to the patient.

Hospice affirms life and regards dying as a normal process. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice provides personalized services and a caring community so that patients and families can attain the necessary preparation for a death that is satisfactory to them.

Hospice care is provided to patients who have a limited life expectancy hospices accept anyone regardless of age or type of illness. These patients have also made a decision to spend their last months at home or in a homelike setting.

Experience of older workers in today’s workforce Older workers have so much to offer as members of today’s workforce. While they possess the work ethic, loyalty and life experience necessary to be assets to any workplace, what they often lack is opportunity. The Easter Seals Oregon Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a Department of Labor grant designed to help mature workers re-enter the workforce. The goal of the program is to assist participants to gain the skills necessary to obtain permanent employment, while helping seniors achieve economic independence and an improved lifestyle. Many seniors have challenges to overcome before they find employment.

Some of these include stereotypes related to age as well as issues regarding transportation, housing, work experience, disability, income, self-esteem, language, health and education. Easter Seals SCSEP helps participants rise above these obstacles by providing opportunities to enhance existing skills, train for a new career, and find a rewarding job.

To qualify for the program, participants must be low-income, 55+, unemployed and be willing and able to look for work. Seniors are assigned to a Program Coordinator who develops an Individual Employment Plan, places them in a Host Agency training site and enrolls them in Job Club. The program assists them in acquiring knowledge regarding the job market as well as learning how to write resumes, cover letters, apply for jobs on-line and discover their strengths and weaknesses

30

in relation to an identified career focus.

Participants are also enrolled in computer classes to enhance their technology skills to be competitive in the labor market.

As one SCSEP participant stated, “I had worked most of my life, but was laid off several years ago. I have been unable to find work due to my inability to understand and operate computers. Now I am gaining the opportunity to learn how to use the computer to enhance my job search and improve my skills in this area”.

The SCSEP program holds monthly orientations to explain the program and set up intake appointments for those who qualify. Participants then enter into an assessment phase designed to take a “snapshot” of basic skills, computer abilities and vocational options. The participant is placed at a training site and reassessed at regular intervals to ensure they are making progress. To learn more about SCSEP, call Easter Seals Oregon in Salem at 503-362-1572, and in Portland at 503-228-5108 or visit us at 5757 SW Macadam, Portland, OR 97239.

Generic Drugs: a Great Way to Cut Health Care Costs A great way to cut health care costs is to find a generic drug that works just as well as your expensive brand-name drug. But how can you be sure that a generic is as good as the drugs you see advertised on TV? It may help to learn what a generic drug is.

Generic drugs are simply drugs whose brand-name patent has expired. They may look different because the brand-name drug is protected by trademark. They may contain different inactive ingredients (such as coloring) that have no effect on the drug’s performance. But the active ingredients that treat the medical condition are the same.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires all drugs, including generics, to be safe and effective. The FDA tests drugmanufacturing facilities routinely, and tests all generic drugs rigorously to make sure they are “bioequivalent.” That means they have the same active ingredients and can be expected to work the same way in the body as the brand-name drug. They also must have the same dosage, strength and form (such as pill or liquid).

In fact, many brand-name drug manufacturers even make and sell the generic versions. According to the FDA, brand-name manufacturers are involved with about half of all generic drug production.

36

Then why are generics cheaper? Patents give drug manufacturers exclusive rights to sell brand-name drugs for a number of years. During that time, they charge high prices to cover the average $800 million for research, development, getting the patent, marketing and advertising to bring each new drug to market.Generic drug manufacturers don’t have these upfront costs. Plus they compete with other manufacturers. As a result, generics cost 30 to 80 percent less than brands.

Finally, many studies show that the “new” brand-name drugs may not be safer or work better than older generic drugs. The bottom line: Generic drugs have the same therapeutic benefit, quality, purity and safety as brand-name counterparts. They help reduce drug costs while maintaining care quality. Many health insurers charge copayments for generics that are substantially lower than the copayments for brand-name drugs.

To learn more, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, other health care professional or health plan representative. If you want to find out if there are generic options for your prescriptions, Consumer Reports’ Best Buy Drugs and the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research give cost-effective prescription options for common medical conditions.

Licensing requirements for assisted living facilities vary by state and can be known by as many as 26 different names including: residential care, board and care, congregate care, and personal care. A complete list of each state’s terminology and state regulations can be found at: http://aspe. hhs.gov/daltcp/Reports/04alcom.htm

Choosing A Community A good match between a community and a resident’s needs depends as much on the philosophy and services as it does on the quality of care.

The following suggestions can help you get started in your search for a safe, comfortable and appropriate assisted living community:  What are your future needs and how will the community meet those needs?  Is the community close to family and friends? Are there any shopping centers or other businesses nearby (within walking distance)?

These steps should also be considered:  Contact your state’s long-term care ombudsman to see if any complaints have recently been filed against the assisted living community you are interested in. In many states, the ombudsman checks on conditions at assisted living units and nursing homes.  If the assisted living community is connected to a nursing home, ask for information about it, too. (Information on nursing homes can be found on the Medicare website at http://www. medicare.gov/nhcompare/home.asp).

Housing Definitions: Adult Day Care Programs offer a protective setting during the day, for those who cannot be left alone due to health care and social needs. The structured program within a community setting offers: socialization, planned activities, care services, companionship and meals. Adult Day Care provides daytime respite for the caregiver who typically works, needs time for other responsibilities, to simply to take a break. Some programs are designed for older adults with dementia and/or physical limitations. Programs through senior housing communities that are listed in this guide must be able accept non-residents to be included.

Adult Care Home or Family Care Home are private residences that provides a home-like setting, and serves 5 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions, such as personal care, housekeeping and activities and group meals. There are three levels of Adult Foster Care Home licenses. The classification system is based on level of care the Adult Foster Home may provide to residents who live in the home as well as the experience and training of the providers and their ability to assist residents with: personal hygiene, mobility, eating, dressing, toileting, and behavior management. Residents may require very light assistance or may be dependent with several care needs; it is best to ask individual locations for their specific policies and license.

Assisted Living Communities are State-regulated rental properties where six or more residents may reside. Care assistance is available, including: medication management, bathing, dressing, toileting and eating. Apartments must be fully self-contained private living units with a lockable door, private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities. The fee schedule is regular monthly rent along with additional fees for specific services and amenities. Assisted living communities are best suited for individuals who want to remain as independent as possible and who are able to direct their own care.

CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) are communities that include a continuum of care from independent living, assisted living, residential care and skilled nursing services all on one campus, allowing individuals to live within the same community as their needs progress through the spectrum of care. They typically offer the full selection of amenities associated with retirement living. An endowment fee in addition to a monthly maintenance fee can be expected.

44

Independent Living Communities provide residents an independent living setting without the burden of home ownership. Typically, residency is established on a monthly rental basis. Residents live in fully equipped private apartments or cottages from studios to large two-bedroom units that may be rental-assisted or market-rate depending on the community. Amenities and hospitality services such as housekeeping, linen service, transportation and social and recreational activities may be included, provided for an additional charge, or may not be available at all. These communities do not provide assistance with activities of daily living or personal care.

Memory Care or Dementia Communities offer or provide care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia in a home like environment. These communities, must receive an endorsement and is governed by additional regulations that are specifically intended to support individuals with dementia, including: a secure building that alerts staff if a resident has exited, a secure outdoor area that provides outdoor freedom safely, interior finishes that are non-glare and well lit, and visual contrasts between floors, walls and doorways. Alzheimer’s units must also have programs, which include: gross motor, self care, social, craft, sensory enhancement and outdoor activities.

Rehabilitation & Therapy is treatment for an injury, illness, or pain with the goal of restoring function, including nursing and therapy services. Rehab is ordered by a physician and services are provided by nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Examples include working with a physical therapist to help you walk and with an occupational therapist to help you get dressed.

Residential Care Facilities provide housing and supportive services for six or more people who do not require 24 hour nursing care. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the level of care provided and the size and amenities of each apartment. Accommodations are typically in a home like setting and may range from a shared bedroom with common bathroom, to private apartments with kitchenette and private bathroom. Monthly fees vary greatly based on unit amenities and care services. Many residential care facilities specialize in caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Respite Care is short term relief for family caregivers to take a break from the caregiving responsibilities and allows for a healthier and better quality of life for both the caregiver and care receiver.. Respite services include: companionship, personal care, recreational activities and security. Respite care can be provided as short stay or for a longer period that allows the family caregiver to go on vacation or a business trip. Longer duration respite care is generally found at select senior housing communities although some Companion services may provide this service in the home.

Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) or Nursing Homes are Statelicensed facilities that provide a safe, therapeutic environment for individuals who require rehabilitative care or can no longer live independently due to functional or cognitive impairment. Nursing Homes offer 24-hour skilled nursing care and medical services by registered nurses and support professionals. This is the highest level of care that can be provided that is not hospitalization. Additionally, nursing facilities offer residents planned social, recreational and spiritual activities. Nursing facilities are most appropriate for people who need 24-hour medical oversight and a protective/structured setting. Most residents must share their room, but residents are allowed to bring personal items to encourage a more home-like atmosphere.

What is a CCRC, and is it right for me?

In the next 20 years, 78 million baby boomers will reach retirement age.

Their expectations for retirement will be high. The Boomers will expect to remain independent and productive. These seniors don’t want to be a burden to their children or the government, and will insist upon the services they need, when they need them, in the place they call home.

Sound familiar? If this is the retirement you envision for yourself, a continuing care retirement community may be the right place for you.

Not all senior housing is alike. There are age specific adult communities with no assisted living or skilled nursing. Some communities offer only assisted living.

Others care only for people with dementia or those that need skilled nursing. A continuing care retirement community (CCRC) provides a full spectrum of services, programs and residential housing…all in one location, eliminating the worry about how future needs will be met. This is especially comforting for couples, knowing they can age together on one campus, with access to the health care services as they are need them.

CCRCs are unique in that they offer prospective residents a contract which says the CCRC will provide individuals with housing and services for life. Most CCRCs require a one-time entrance fee and then monthly payments thereafter. There are a

52

number of different contracts offered, but they can be summarized into three different types.  Extensive contracts, which include unlimited long-term nursing care at little or no increase in the monthly fee.  Modified contracts that include a specified amount of long-term nursing care. Beyond that specified time, you are responsible for payments.  Fee-for-service contracts in which you pay full daily rates for long-term nursing care.

CCRCs can be non-profit or for profit organizations; independent, or managed by a larger firm; accredited or non-accredited.

Achieving accreditation requires rigorous assessment that assures high standards are being met in services, programs, financial stability, facilities, strategic planning, business practices and health care. As you review your retirement housing options, identify what is most important to you— independence, services, health care and amenities—and consider your current health and future concerns. Knowing these things will assist you in finding a retirement community that feels like home.

Ten Common Asset Preservation Mistakes 1. Transferring all assets to children or other relatives. This almost always results in a penalty period of ineligibility that begins after application for Medicaid and other public assistance.

Tax consequences can be significant. Make gifts only with legal counsel.

2. Selling the family home to pay for nursing home costs. This is often not required, yet many still believe that the home must be sold to pay for care.

3. Relying only on a will or living trust. A will has no effect until approved in probate proceedings after death. A living trust is preferable in most cases, but generally does not protect assets from government claims for payback.

4. Relying on Medicare or health insurance. Neither one pays for the cost of long terms care in a nursing home or assisted living. Costs typically run between $5000 and $6000 and most families will quickly run through their life savings.

5. Putting a family member on accounts as a joint owner. This subjects the account to the risks associated with the joint owner’s life—divorce, bankruptcy, lawsuit. This can also result in disqualification periods for Medicaid eligibility. There are better ways to avoid these legal problems.

and for Medicaid eligibility transactions.

Have one prepared for your situation by an elder law specialist.

7. Using a form will or living trust.

These are cheap and available from bookstores and internet. But they are almost always not suitable or correct for your situation. Lawyers earn substantial fees “fixing” these do-it-yourself wills and trusts.

8. Purchasing a “Medicaid annuity” or other financial products to shelter assets. Use caution when relying on the advice of “senior advisors” who may not understand your situation.

9. Applying for a guardianship or conservatorship. These proceedings to handle a person’s incapacity are costly, time-consuming and restrictive. With proper planning, these can be avoided in most cases.

10. Ignoring Medicaid estate recovery. The state can and does proceed with liens and other proceedings to recoup benefits paid out on your elder’s behalf.

In appropriate circumstances, this can be avoided with proper planning.

6. Using a pre-printed form for power

Laws governing Medicaid eligibility, Medicaid asset recovery and estate preservation are complex and vary between states. A qualified Elder Law Attorney can help you avoid these common mistakes.

of attorney. These documents may be useful for small accounts and simple transactions but usually lack the express language needed for more complex affairs

The State of Oregon is easing the financial burdens of aging for many elders by initiating a new Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Program with private insurers.

The new program, which began January 1, 2008, will benefit about 25 percent of the seniors in Oregon who are of modest or limited income.

It will erase one of the biggest fears that modest income seniors have—that they will have to spend down to their last $2000.00 before the federal Medicaid program will pick up the cost of their nursing home care. The new Partnership Program will make it possible for seniors who qualify to preserve some of their assets to pass on to their heirs.

Along with the benefits of increased longevity in our county, have come the greater likelihood that a person will need some type of long-term care in their old age—in fact, 60 percent of Americans will need that care during their lifetime.

And that can take a wallop out of a person’s savings. In Portland, the average cost of a year in a nursing home is about $60,000, and that is expected to double within the next 15 years.

themselves and for the elderly members of their families—by planning ahead for the care they will need in their old age.

Many middle and upper income Americans are taking out long-term care insurance policies to help pay for the care they will need later in life. The new LongTerm Care Insurance Partnership Program that Oregon is launching January 1st is an important step in offering coverage to Oregonians of limited means.

Oregon Launches New Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership

A key feature of the new program, in addition to Medicaid asset protection, is inflation protection. The State also sets consumer protection standards and makes sure that seniors cans choose a policy that best meets their needs. Both the state and federal government will provide educational resources to let seniors know who qualifies for the new Partnership Program and how to find a participating insurance provider.

Seniors and their families can contact a Long-term care Specialist to learn more about long-term care options available.

Making decisions now about your funeral arrangements can help assure those left behind that your wishes are being honored.

Though it’s not a topic most of us want to think about, planning for what happens after your death can reduce the stress on grieving loved ones. Making decisions now about your funeral arrangements can help assure those left behind that your wishes are being honored.

“The death of a loved one is always stressful. Fortunately, preplanning is something you can do now to help your family,” says funeral director J.C. Aubry with the Dignity Memorial network of funeral, cemetery and cremation providers.

“Preplanning can significantly reduce the number of difficult decisions that confront loved ones at an emotional time of loss.”

2) Shop Around and Choose a Funeral Home Investigating different funeral homes is an important part of planning a funeral.

Compare available options, prices and quality of service to find the right fit for your budget and your final wishes.

Comparison shopping now allows you to feel secure you’re getting the best value.

Professional Services

Planning Ahead Eases Grief

Choose a home that fits your budget and is willing to accommodate your special requests. With the right funeral provider, you’ll feel confident your wishes will be fulfilled and you won’t feel uncomfortable asking questions or rushed into making hasty selections.

It’s easy to preplan your final arrangements using a three-step process.

3) Understand Your Funding Options

1) Decide on the Service Deciding on the type of service you want is a first step towards feeling confident that your wishes will be fulfilled. Determine if your service should have religious elements, if it should be intimate or large, or if there are any unique elements you want incorporated.

You do not need to prepay in order to preplan your funeral. If you choose to prefund your prearrangement, you can lock in today’s prices for products and services that likely will be more expensive in the future. Work with a funeral professional to understand your state’s particular laws and regulations that protect pre-need funds.

Another important element to discuss is final disposition. Do you prefer burial or cremation? Consider purchasing cemetery property and inquire about all options available for memorialization and disposition of cremated remains.

Regardless of whether or not you fund your prearrangement, be sure to let your loved ones know that you’ve preplanned your final arrangements. They’ll appreciate the steps you’ve taken to relieve them of additional stress at a trying time.

Oregon Celebrates 150 Years 2009 marks the year Oregon celebrates 150 years of statehood. We commemorate our Sesquicentennial on February 14 with events planned through the State Fair in September. Oregon 150, a volunteer board is planning this important birthday—and we want you to join the party.

Share Your Story Oregon is a state of diverse and interesting people. We come from different backgrounds and different faiths; we come from cities, ranches, and mountains. We each have our own Oregon story, and we hope you’ll share yours so we can get to know each other. For our 150th birthday, Oregon 150 is collecting and sharing “Oregon Stories”. Please tell us your Oregon story on www.oregon150.org

See Your State Oregon 150 encourages you to go visit new places in our magnificent state. Surely there must be some parts of our 98,466 square miles that you’ve never seen! In partnership with Travel Oregon, we have 150 trips already mapped out for you. Be sure to make your vacation a “state-cation” in 2009! And send an Oregon 150 e-postcard to your friends at home!

Get Your Hands Dirty It’s important to cleanup for this party—so Oregon 150 is hosting “Take Care of Oregon Days.” Volunteers across Oregon will be clearing trails, painting schools, planting trees, or lending a hand in projects aimed at stewardship of this beautiful land.

70

Please join us! Just contact us at TCO@oregon150.org or visit our Web site to learn what project your community is planning, or to add your own.

Plan for the Bash What’s a birthday party without kids?

Our three Youth Legacy Projects will bring tomorrow’s leaders together today and invite them to envision the changes they hope to see in Oregon over the next 50 years. Oregon’s youth are helping sustainably design and rehabilitate five local parks around Oregon, focusing on rediscovering nature and recreation with Oregon Parks and Recreation.

And embedded throughout the entire state education system are curricula, projects, and activities focusing on the Sesquicentennial, linking youth to Oregon’s history and culture.

Sing a Birthday Song And just for fun, a zany musical entitled “Oregon! Oregon!” (originally commissioned for Oregon’s 100th birthday in 1959) is being updated and re-enacted

by Pink Martini in a series of signature performances throughout the state.

By Oregon First Lady Mary Oberst and Lee Weinstein Oregon’s First Lady Mary Oberst is president of the Oregon 150 Board of Directors. Lee Weinstein is a board member of Oregon 150. For more information, visit www.oregon150.org.
