Seven Reasons to Choose Care in the Home for your Loved One

By: Stephen P. Rudolph MHCA, LFACHE, CSA, NHA

Choosing home healthcare might be the best choice for you or your loved one — but how do you know for sure? This quick primer on home care can help you make that very important decision. Elders sometimes need a bit of help. Whether that means simple reminders to take their medication or something as significant as 24-hour medical monitoring, there is a solution designed to meet all of their unique needs.

The Top Seven Considerations for Home care Consider the following seven reasons why home care might be the best choice for you, your family and your loved one:

What Kind of Care is Best for Your Loved One? There are many kinds of care available for elderly patients. Some will require occasional light help, while others might need round-the-clock nursing care. Knowing your options can help you choose the best one to fit the needs of everyone involved.

• Skilled Nursing Facility. Also known as a nursing home, a skilled nursing facility offers round-the-clock care for patients who need constant monitoring.

• Assisted Living. Assisted living facilities offer custodial care, or help with the basics of day-to-day life. Grooming, bathing, dressing and meal preparation are just a few of the ways assisted living can help.

• Home Care. Care at home can cover a wide range of assistance and services. From help with occasional grocery shopping to help with activities of daily living or skilled nursing care, there is an home care option available.

Home healthcare is a wonderful choice for any loving family member who is in the process of searching for a provider to assist with the health, safety and personal well being of an elderly loved one. When searching for a permanent residence for an elder, there is no better choice than where the elderly loved one is most comfortable: their own home.

• Independence Matters. With home care, patients are encouraged to be as independent as possible. With a few changes for safety, such as grab bars and anti-slip rugs, freedom to move around the comfort of their own home is very possible with home care.

• One-on-One Attention: Another very important quality of home healthcare is the one-on-one attention that the elder will receive. At home, there is complete attention on the elder. This is important because it creates a special bond between the elder and the caregiver. At many nursing homes or assisted living facilities, the caregivers must care for a number of elders so there is not enough one-on-one time to create this special relationship.

• Comfort and Safety. The most common reason for home healthcare is the comfort, safety and stress-free environment that the elder is used to. As the elderly loved one gets older, they will undoubtedly feel connected to the place where they spent the most time. Their home is suited to their specific wants and needs and they can feel relaxed and safe. It is also important that the elder’s family has

peace of mind knowing that their loved one is in a safe, comfortable residence.

• Family Involvement. Those who are cared for at home have the advantage of open visiting hours. Family members can stop in and help out as often as necessary without concerns about intruding on the care of others. In times of illness, the presence of family members can improve a patient’s spirits and make everyone feel more in-control of the situation. Unlike nursing homes or retirement centers, elders who receive home healthcare are able to be involved in their own home care, which helps them feel involved and useful.

• Continuity of Care. Home care is often provided by the same caregiver or team or caregivers, so they always know what kind of care has been given or is needed. The patient can also keep their same doctor, so continuity of care stays intact.

• Safe and Personal. The risks of infection are lessened when a patient uses home care. The one-on-one care and personal attention also ensures that all your loved one’s needs can be met quickly and without the red tape often found in hospitals or nursing homes.

• Lower Costs. Home care providers are usually less expensive than nursing homes or assisted living facilities. With home care, you also have the option of hiring someone for only the hours when your loved one needs help the most. Lower costs also offer peace of mind to those elders who are concerned about the financial burden their care might place on their family.

The Home Care Option When you choose home care, you are giving your loved one the opportunity to remain in the comfort and safety of their home while receiving the care they require.

Take the time to research all options! When you make the decision for home care and hire someone to help your loved one, you should have the confidence of knowing your choice was the right one.

Old Secrets to Making New Friends

How to Stay Active After a Life Transition Anyone who has experienced a transition in life knows that it comes bundled with as many opportunities as is does challenges.

Relocation, retirement, death of a spouse and loss of friends all have a huge impact on your lifestyle and social circle.

Just ask Robert De Niro’s retired, widowed, character in the 2015 movie, "The Intern." He badly wants to get back into the game of life, so he takes a “senior internship” at a start-up company.

That’s great work if you can get it. Here are some more ideas to put you back in the game: Continuing education classes, faithbased groups, hobby clubs: Such old standbys never go out of style because they are mirrors of you and your interests.

Senior centers and service clubs: These places have a lot going on, and the welcome mat is always out. They are hubs for people looking to enrich their lives, make friends and do good.

Relocation, retirement, death of a spouse and loss of friends all have a huge impact on your lifestyle and social circle.

can be friends with a little effort. If you enjoy talking with a new acquaintance, plan an outing for lunch or an event. Too often, we wait for someone else to make the move. BE that someone!

Schools and youth: Connect with young people by mentoring or volunteering for underfunded school operations.

Consider becoming a substitute teacher or a bus driver.

Online blogs and social media: Entertain yourself and connect with others of similar interests (in-person meetings optional).

Professional events: Maintain your expertise and network by engaging in your professional field.

Public service: Join a committee in your school district, business community, local agencies or state government. Heck, run for office!

Your own backyard (literally and figuratively): Don’t forget that neighbors

Exercise groups: You can guard your health – both physical and emotional – thanks to the “happy chemicals” released in your brain during exercise. In that state, who wouldn’t want to be your friend?

Are Baby Boomers the Key to the Single-Family Market?

By: VP and Chief Economist Sean Becketti

One of the most important keys to today’s single-family housing market is homeowners who were born before the first-ever episode of Star Trek aired in the 1960s. Today, more than 50 years later, Baby Boomers and other homeowners over the age of 55 control almost two-thirds of the nation’s home equity – about $8 trillion.

There are also more than 67 million 55+ homeowners.

Whether they decide to move from their current homes or age in place, the cumulative impact of their decisions on

63 percent of 55+ers prefer to age in place. mortgage demand, affordable housing supplies and the housing options available to millennials and other aspiring homeowners will be substantial.

To better understand these opportunities and challenges, we launched the Freddie Mac 55+ Survey. Together with GfK, we surveyed nearly 4,900 homeowners born before 1961, including a mix of men, women, Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians and Caucasians. We wanted to know their current housing situations, their plans and their willingness to help their grown children become homeowners. Here’s what we found out: The American Dream is working.

Consistent majorities tell us they are “very satisfied” with their current homes (64 percent), communities (59 percent) and quality of life (54 percent). Nearly 90 percent of the respondents say people their age should own a home.

Homeownership is part of a comfortable retirement. Seventy-six percent of homeowners are confident they will have a comfortable retirement. These feelings are echoed across racial lines and shared by 55+ homeowners who are still working as well as those who are retired, and the 44 percent of homeowners we surveyed who have a mortgage.

Homeownership makes financial sense.

Consistent majorities say homeownership makes financial sense for married people with children (96 percent) and without children (85 percent) as well as single people with children (79 percent) and

without children (53 percent). What's more, nearly 25 percent of the respondents say they have given down payment assistance to someone.

Sixty three percent of 55+ers prefer to age in place. This works out to an estimated 42 million homeowners who don’t plan to move. About a quarter (23 percent) indicate they would need major renovations to keep their homes accessible and a third (34 percent) would pay for improvements by refinancing their mortgage or taking out a second loan or home equity line of credit.

Twenty seven million 55+ers would prefer to move at least one more time.

Although movers are in the minority, it's a big minority. According to the survey, nearly 40 percent of all homeowners 55+ would like to move at least once more if they had complete control over it. This isn't just about downsizing to a rental or nursing home; 19 million plan to buy a home and nearly 8 million expect to move within the next four years. What's more, half of the 19 million likely movers expect to buy less expensive homes.

These are big numbers with the potential to tighten homebuying competition in the housing market, especially for millennials and other first-time homebuyers. They also have the potential to generate significant new demand for mortgage credit.

Whether the borrower is financing age-in-place renovations or buying a new house, even a relatively modest increase in lending to 55+ homeowners could add trillions of dollars in new originations in a relatively short time.

One way or another, the Baby Boomers’ housing decisions over the next few years will take our market to brand-new places.

Family dynamics in the dementia journey Are you the bossy big sister who knows it all or the youngest son who walks to the beat of your own drum? Not surprisingly, a person’s position in the family can have a significant impact on caregiver roles. Add to that the variations in today’s family makeup—blended families, second spouses, unmarried partners or same-sex partners— plus individual beliefs, personalities and family history and you have a recipe for a communication disaster if you’re not all on the same page when it comes to caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia. What’s a family unit to do?

When a family member needs care, it becomes even more important to find ways to improve communication and stay focused on providing the best care possible. Not everyone is able or willing to play a role in caring for the family member.

Sometimes the spouse who provides day-to-day care is not willing to accept assistance from adult children. Mom may not want to give up what she believes to be her main responsibility in caring for her

the concerns and identify where family members agree and disagree. Decide how to resolve the differences while keeping in mind what’s best for the person with dementia. It may be necessary to hold more than one meeting.

Positive family dynamics include: • Focus on what’s best for the person receiving care • Acknowledge strengths and weaknesses of each person involved • Let go of what you can’t control or change • Remind yourself family members do what they can • Accept what other family members are able to do to help or that they may not be able to help.

Include everyone who is concerned and affected by caregiving decisions.

This may involve the person with the illness, siblings, spouses, other relatives and perhaps close friends and neighbors.

Consider using a speaker phone to include those who can’t be present because of distance. It is better to be inclusive to ensure greater support and prevent decisions from being undermined because someone was not given the opportunity to share his or her perspective.

Discuss concerns and issues. Consider collecting concerns ahead of time and create an agenda or use a flip chart to develop a list of supports needed. Let everyone share what they feel the care needs are. Listen and be respectful. Prioritize

husband. Dad may not want to be criticized for not providing care “the right way.”

It’s important to take time to consider the other person’s perspective on caregiving. The assumptions we make can cause misunderstandings and hurt feelings. It takes a concerted effort to put the needs of the person with dementia first.

What is best for him or her needs to take precedence over any family disagreement.

A family meeting is a great way to define what the caregiving needs are, discuss concerns and issues and develop an action plan.

Develop a written plan of what each person is willing to do and when each task will be done. Can individual family members take on tasks like grocery shopping, household chores, providing respite care, transportation to doctor’s appointments and running errands? Allow family members to decide what tasks they can or cannot do and determine whether in-home services can be used to fill in.

Remember, not everyone will be willing to help out in ways we think they should and that’s okay. Family members need to recognize that each person brings different strengths and weaknesses to the caregiving journey.

Consider using a facilitator and meet at a neutral location. Family meetings are not always easy and honest differences of opinion will occur. It can be easy for meetings to get off track or past conflicts can arise. A facilitator can help keep the focus on the person who needs care.

Open communication and acceptance are vitally important along the caregiver journey. Frank and honest discussions can help reduce misunderstandings and manage expectations. If you would like assistance with planning a family meeting or to request an experienced facilitator, contact the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin at 608-232-3400 or toll-free from anywhere in Wisconsin at 888-308-6251.

Care & Support Through the Stages of Serious Illness

adno=473456-01

By Kristin Larson, Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin

30 ~ 2016-2017 Senior Resource Directory

There’s No Better Time to Prepare for the Future than Today

Whether you are 25 or 65, there is no better time than now to start planning for future health care needs.

When people think about healthcare, they often think of doctor’s visits, hospital stays, perhaps therapy. However, if you find yourself dealing with an illness, injury, or recovery, you may qualify for in-home health care. In-home health care brings skilled care like nursing and therapy to you. For individuals who want to remain at home, this type of care can be essential.

Also, many people don’t realize that as they age, they may need supportive care like help with dressing and bathing, transportation or medication management.

These kinds of non-medical services are usually not covered by insurance or Medicare, so planning ahead is very important.

It is also important to think about where you want to live as you grow older. If your goal is to remain at home think about ways to make it safer for you as you age.

Are you interested in moving into senior

apartments? In the event you need to transition to assisted living or a nursing home, do you know your options?

And while it can be difficult to think about, planning for end-of-life is as important as planning for the rest of your

Don’t put off planning because it seems far away.

Make sure the people you love know what your wishes are. care. Most people at end-of-life want to stay at home. Hospice is designed to help make that happen by supporting loved ones throughout the process.

Be sure to check out the costs of services. There are numerous ways to pay for care, but not all insurances cover all types of care. For example, most private health insurances and Medicare will pay for certain types of home health care, but don’t typically cover long-term care like nursing home stays, private duty nursing or assistance with daily activities in the home. For that type of coverage you need long-term care insurance, which can vary in cost based on your age, the policy you choose and coverage you select.

Finally, make sure you have “the conversation” with your family. Talk to your loved ones about your wishes. More than 75% of parents have never discussed their preferences with their adult children. Adult children are often reluctant to initiate this type of conversation, and parents are often resistant as well, so understanding and patience is paramount. Remember, your family is your “home team”, and to succeed everyone needs to be on the same page.

Work with your family and complete an advance directive. Advance directives are documents that lay out your wishes in regards to health care and designate someone who can make medical and/or financial decisions for you in the event you cannot speak for yourself.

The Livsreise - The Norwegian Heritage Center in Stoughton is seeking volunteers with an interest in Norwegian heritage and culture, or people who just enjoy working with the public.

adno=475511-01

Do you have an interest in Norwegian Heritage and Culture?

Talking about aging issues and end-oflife can be scary, but think about how scary it would be if something were to happen and no one was prepared. You don’t have to discuss everything at once. This type of conversation isn’t a one-time thing. It is continuous and you should revisit it as things change.

Some important questions to help you get started: • In the event I become incapacitated, who do I want making medical/ financial decisions for me? Do they know what I would want?

• What are my ideal aging circumstances? Where do I see myself living, at home, retirement community, somewhere else?

• Is my home senior friendly? What can I do now to make my home safer for me as I age?

• If I do need medical care, where do I go? What are my options?

• If I were terminally ill, where would I want to spend my time? Who would I want to be with?

• How will I pay for my care as I age? Do I have long-term care insurance? What will my insurance/Medicare cover?

Don’t put off planning because it seems far away. Make sure the people you love know what your wishes are. There are community resources at your disposal; you just have to find them. In addition there are wonderful, high quality home health and hospice agencies out there that can help you transition from one stage of life to the next. Start a care-provider list to keep handy in the event you ever need it.

Research home health care. Plan to visit assisted living and other care facilities and start collecting information. Check out community resources. Ask your doctor, friends, and family for recommendations.

Doing some work now will make it much less stressful in the event you ever need care.

Am I losing it? Or is this normal?

We all know the phrase, “use it or lose it.”

Many of us begin to worry as we get older that we might be losing it. We forget names, lose things and have trouble keeping up with constantlychanging technology. Sometimes we go into another room in our house and forget why we are there. As we get older , we may worry about our memory, especially when we hear stories in the news about Alzheimer’s disease numbers rising. You may ask yourself if it is something to be concerned about. Often times the answer is no. It may very well be normal for your age.

By the time we are 55, we’ve met a lot of people, so recalling names can become more challenging. For those who have never been

good with names, they also may notice a decrease. If it’s not a significant change there is no reason to worry. We slow down as we age both physically and mentally. The speed at which we process information might decrease.

You may see an acquaintance in the grocery store and you cannot remember their name but later it comes back to you. It is likely due to the fact that you have a lot on your mind and that stress can cause you to draw a blank.

When it comes to technology, it may be hard to keep up. Everything seems to be moving faster and technology is ever changing.

Kids are able to pick it up and learn quickly because they are building on the skills they

have already developed. It is very normal to have to work harder to learn new things as we grow older. Although it may take more effort to learn new technology, social media, new computer programs and games, this can also help to strengthen our minds and build new connections in our brains. This can help build resiliency and potentially delay the onset of deteriorating diseases that may cause dementia.

Now when you walk into the kitchen but have forgotten why you are there, it’s probably ice cream that you are looking for. Well, at least that’s what it is for me. We all do that from time to time.

Between the couch and the refrigerator, you had other things on your mind. By the time you arrive at your destination, you’ve forgotten what you were doing. This is very normal and is not a sign of memory loss. Stress and worry can have an effect on memory, and sometimes we just aren’t paying attention and have gotten distracted along the way.

Although the number of people with dementia is growing, this is primarily due to the fact that we are living longer. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia. The expectation is that these numbers will more than double in the next 30 years. We are beginning to wake up to the fact that we need to think about our brain health not only after age 50, but also throughout our life.

For some time researchers have been looking at lifestyle factors that increase or decrease the risk of developing dementia. Although it is important to look closely at who conducted the study and how it was conducted before changing your routines, it is safe to say that good nutrition - along with physical and mental exercise - is key to good brain health.

Does this mean crossword puzzles and computer games will keep you from developing dementia? No, it does not. But, by keeping your brain active, learning new things, socializing and challenging yourself, you are increasing your chances of maintaining your brain health as you age. Maybe it’s worth trying the new Pokémon game after all? Or maybe learning something new that appeals to you.

Other tips to improve brain health include: eat foods high in antioxidants and omega 3’s, maintain a healthy weight, reduce added sugars, have purpose in your life and manage your stress.

Want to learn more about brain health? The Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) & the Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR) organizations are collaborating to bring a six part brain health series to Madison area beginning in September, 2016. Local experts will share information about a brain health, lifestyle, exercise, effects of sleep, nutrition, music and stress reduction benefits of mindfulness. Contact the ADRC at 608-2407400 to learn more. Registration is required for the 55+ program. Go to mscr.com to sign up.
