Taking Charge of Your Health The Area Agency on Aging is offering free classes to help individuals take charge of their health, stay healthier and remain independent.

Living Well Alabama, a program for chronic disease self–management, is designed to help those with ongoing health conditions live healthier lives. Long-term conditions may cause fatigue, a loss of physical strength and endurance and requires new strategies to delay disability, improve function and help people manage their own health on a day-to-day basis.

The Area Agency on Aging also offers A Matter of Balance, a program to help reduce the risk of falls by teaching fall prevention strategies.

Falls are a leading cause of injury and death among adults age 65 and older, but falls are not a normal part of aging and most are preventable.

After taking A Matter of Balance, 98% of participants reported greater confidence in fall management.

To learn more about attending these free classes, or to become a volunteer instructor, call 251-706-4680 or 1-800-243-5463 or email us at aginginfo@sarpc.org.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) In Alabama, 70,250 seniors are using SNAP to buy healthy food. Are you?

Alabama has made a special effort to help seniors age 60 and over have healthy diets through its improved SNAP food assistance program that provides money to buy groceries tax free. For seniors who are retired or unemployed with no earned income, there is no office visit necessary, benefits under the Elderly Simplified Application Program are awarded for 3 years unless maximum income is exceeded, no resources or savings are counted, income is self-declared, and a standard medical deduction is available to increase benefits. It is estimated that over 70% of seniors who qualify never apply, leaving an average of $850 in benefits on the table. If your income is not over $1276 for one person OR if you have high medical expenses, call the Area Agency on Aging to see if you qualify at 251-706-4680 or 1-800-243-5463.

hen family caregivers become overwhelmed with navigating the complexities of the healthcare system and the daily challenges of caregiving, a geriatric care manager may provide a lifeline.

Geriatric care managers (GCM), or aging life care professionals, are different from other healthcare providers in that they may not provide handson care. Instead, a GCM will help family members assess the needs of their loved one, and then help plan and supervise their care. In short, a GCM guides a family through the maze of long-term care services and A GCM guides a family through the maze of providers.

Because GCMs have long-term care services and providers degrees in fields such as social work, gerontology and nursing, they are familiar with the workings of the healthcare system, which allows them to advocate for the best care for an aging patient. They are working in a system where they have worked for years, facing challenges they have faced for years. For most families, caregiving is a new world.

“Caregiving can be a full-time job,” said Danny Feldman, owner of FirstLight Homecare. “Unfortunately, most caregivers also have a career and family, in addition to their caregiving obligations. It’s a juggling act that can be hard to maintain. I had been practicing law for decades, but nothing prepared me for my parents failing health and the challenges of caregiving.”

By Dec McClelland them avoid being “scammed”?

Financial Advisor with Edward Jones For starters, observe their behavior.

MEMBER SPIC Be aware if their actions or statements indicate that they might be vulnerable to financial fraud.

Next, urge them to send any suspicious emails straight to their “spam” basket. Remind them that any offer that sounds too good to be true won’t be good — or true.

Also, encourage them to further their financial education. Many agencies provide programs designed specifically for seniors.

Finally, if they don’t already work with a financial advisor, recommend a trusted one to them. The more guidance they get from a qualified professional, the less likely it is that they’ll fall victim to scam artists. ~

Yoga has been shown to improve overall health, prevent and (even in some cases) reverse disease when practiced regularly as a lifestyle. Some of the benefits of yoga include improved strength which reduces the risks of fall-related injuries and improved balance control with older adults with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Hearing Loss – Take a Simple continued from page 42 Do you need to ask others about details of a meeting that you just attended? n

Do you have difficulty hearing the doorbell or telephone?

n

Has someone close to you mentioned that you might have a problem with your hearing?

n

If you answered yes to three or more of these questions, you may have a hearing problem and should have your hearing evaluated by a professional audiologist. Early detection of hearing loss, followed by proper treatment, allows for the

most effective solutions to many hearing problems. New technology provides much more than simple amplification, such as adjustments for volume, background noise, directionality and different frequencies of sound. Also, you’d have a difficult time noticing the new instruments in someone’s ear, as some instruments are very small, with shapes and colors to blend-in.

The most important message here is early detection and proper treatment lead to the most effective solutions. Consult a professional audiologist if this applies to you or someone you care for. ~ Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

Who Says You Can’t Still Have Fun When You’re Older? continued from page 61

What’s Fun To Do? This is truly a loaded question, especially for senior citizens! You have all hours of the day to breathe in life and relax but you also have time to get out and enjoy what life has to offer.

“Happiness comes from our souls experiencing a feeling we’ve never felt before.” – Unknown When we think of happiness, we think of things that make us smile

or laugh. As a senior citizen, finding something that will do those two things will make life beautiful for you. From gardening to bingo, find an activity that makes you happy.

Here are a few of the best activities we could find from Seniors Blue Book!

dance! It’s one of the best ways to laugh and smile all while burning a few calories. From the upbeat moves of Salsa to a southern spin on line dancing, there’s a little bit of something for every senior.

Many senior living facilities put on dancing nights or provide transportation to local community buildings where you can learn new dancing techniques in a small to large class.

Karaoke – Just like dancing, singing may not be everyone’s number one talent but it’s fun! In fact, many karaoke organizers understand singing talent won’t be perfect, 76 ALABAMA GULF COAST – FALL 2016-SPRING 2017

ccording to a 2015 AARP survey, 34.2 million adults in the U.S. said they had been a caregiver to an adult loved one or family member age 50 or older in the prior 12 months. An additional 6.5 million were caring for both an older adult and a child.

When caregiving becomes too challenging and outside help is needed, knowing where to start can be overwhelming.

As with any new challenge, the best way to start is with the basics. While the following is not all-inclusive, these basic caregiving terms can help when beginning the conversation about caregiving.

When an older adult is mobile, but cannot remain at home alone during the day, an adult day care or adult day health program could be the answer. Adult day services provide supervision, along with health, social and other services for part of the day, but for less than 24 hours. These programs are provided at local centers throughout the area.

Who Says You Can’t Still Have Fun When You’re Older? continued from page 76

if it’s simply taking in the sights and sounds of nature, you won’t want to miss it.

Bowling – Grab a group of your friends and get to exploring the fun of bowling! Many senior living facilities make activities like bowling a part of their monthly activity schedules because it really is something everyone can do. If you’re a little older, bowling alleys provide handy help so you can still bowl and get that strike you’ve always wanted. If you’re a natural pro, join a bowling league that centers specifically around senior citizens. It’s a way to interact, meet new people, and make new friends.

Water Aerobics – Water Aerobics is perfect for the active senior who wants to stay in shape while not straining their bodies as much.

Resistance is low for water aerobics, allowing seniors to enjoy their workouts without feeling as much pain.

Golf – With an abundance of golf courses in our area, you’re sure to find one that will offer you beautiful sights along with a relaxing game of golf! Not everyone is a pro but grab a few friends and go on a leisurely 18hole round to have some true bonding time! Many golf courses provide senior discounts, so take advantage!

The more you save, the more you’ll be able to go back!

Try Something New What’s something you’ve always wanted to do? The biggest regret we hear from senior citizens is that they never got to try out something new when they were younger. Our response: try it now!

Create A Movie Or Collage – In today’s age of technology, manufacturers are producing electronics that are so simple for anyone to use, including senior citizens. Grab a few friends, a camera and a few creative ideas and you’re on your way to creating memories. Recreate your favorite commercial when you were younger or even create a short movie with an interesting story plot. It’ll take time but the final product will open your eyes up to a new world of creativity.

Put On A Scavenger Hunt – If your senior living facility isn’t doing this, put it on yourself! Create a list of items to be found, gather a group of your neighbors or friends and begin hunting!

It’s a great way for your community to interact with one another and you’ll certainly find yourself smiling and laughing a lot more.

Paint Pottery – If you’re an artist, this is right up your alley! If not, we won’t judge your final product! Painting pottery gets your creative mind working and you’ll really never know what you come up with until you’re painting.

or most people, friendship is a necessary part of a happy life. Now science tells us we’re happier and healthier even when those friends are furry or feathered.

“Any pet parent will tell you there are obvious, immediate joys that come with owning a pet. They entertain us, and they offer companionship and affection,” said Michael Graham, executive director of The Haven, “But now we’re learning that they’re good for our physical and mental health.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control, pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels and feelings of loneliness.

The American Heart Association has linked the ownership of pets, especially dogs, with greater longevity and a reduced risk for heart disease.

One study even found that pets help us get rid of bad habits. More than a quarter of pet-owning smokers tried to quit smoking once they learned about the negative health effects of secondhand smoke on pets, according to the journal Tobacco Control.

Studies are now suggesting that these health benefits may be especially pronounced in older pet owners.

A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found pet owners age 65-plus make 30 percent fewer visits to their doctors than those without pets. Pet owners averaged 8.42 visits to the doctor during the year, versus 9.49 visits for people without pets. Dog owners were the lowest with an average of 8.20 visits.

Pets have even been found to decrease the symptoms of aggression and “sundowning,” or behavioral changes later in the day, in Alzheimer’s patients, according to a study published in the Journal of Psychosocial Nursing.

Graham said, “At home, our pets are a source of affection and positive, nonverbal communication, but they also increase opportunities outside the home for exercise, outdoor activities and socialization.”

For pet owners looking to connect with others, Graham suggested online communities. From Dogster.com, Catster.com and Petpop.com to Kingsnake. com for reptile enthusiasts, there’s something for everyone on the web. To see pets available for adoption, local shelter pets are listed on petango.com and petfinder.com among others.~

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

HOSPICE CARE - DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions HOSPICE Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with care at home or in a healthcare facility.

The goal is to assist patients to live the last stage of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than treatment.

Services Provided: N-NURSE – Assesses patient’s physical needs, develops and coordinates the plan of care, ensures symptom control and management, provides patient/family teaching as needed SW-SOCIAL WORKER – Assesses patient and family emotional and social needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, referrals and support to meet identified needs CHAPLAIN – Assesses patient and family spiritual needs, develops a plan of care, provides counseling, assists with memorial preparations.

HOME HEALTH AIDE – Provides direct personal care to patient, emotional support to patient and family, reports identified needs to RN. VOLUNTEER – Provides respite and needed non-medical services for patients and their families, offers support at time of death and during bereavement.

Levels of Care: RO-ROUTINE CARE – Occurs when regularly scheduled visits are adequate in maintaining the individual’s symptom management. Care is provided at the individual’s private residence, a retirement community,

an assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility.

RE-RESPITE CARE – Provided when the family needs time to rest or go out of town for a short time. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility.

GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

CC-CONTINUOUS CARE – Provided to prevent the individual from going to the hospital when a crisis occurs.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis. This level of care is usually provided at the individual’s residence no matter where that may be. The criteria for continuous care may include: Severe pain or symptoms which are out of control, psychotic episodes, breakdown of caregiver, imminent death and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

INDIGENT PATIENTS – Does the hospice accept non funded or indigent patients? This is usually on a case by case basis and at the determination of the hospice company. Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients.

IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting.

HOSPICE CARE - DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 101

zations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care.

Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician.

The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria.

PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have

shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness.

This service is not reimbursed by Medicare.

VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

Different Types of Home Care continued from page 91 When help is needed in the home, it is time to determine the level of care needed. A home health agency provides health-related services in the home, such as nursing, occupational, speech or physical therapy, social work or personal care.

Homemaker services help with general household activities like cooking, cleaning, laundry and shopping, but provide no healthrelated services.

A sitter might be the answer if companionship is the only need.

When determing what type of home care service is necessary, Jackie Woodward Barnett with Homecare Companions suggests asking specific questions and being clear about expectations.

106 ALABAMA GULF COAST – FALL 2016-SPRING 2017

For example, Jackie highlights that “Homecare Companions goal is healthy, active and engaged clients and we provide qualified and experienced caregivers, not just sitters.

Our caregivers have a minimum of three years of experience prior to becoming our employees, and many of them come to us with education and training. Some are certified nursing assistants, and some are licensed practical nurses who were previously employed in nursing. What they have in common is a passion for caring for seniors. When we know your needs, we will match you with the right person for the job.” ~ For more information about Homecare Companions services please visit pages 82-83.

About

n 1913, Dr. Lloyd Noland came to Jefferson County, Alabama at the invitation of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Land Company (TCI) to address the public health needs of workers who suffered from smallpox, typhoid, and other epidemic diseases. Soon after arriving in Birmingham, Noland realized the community’s need and presented his vision to meet those needs. The result was a healthcare facility, an investment greater than the state’s budget for public health at the time. The company hospital founded by Dr. Noland went on to become the centerpiece of a community health network of services.

Growing from the progressive system founded by Dr. Noland, Noland Health Services today follows his legacy. A private, not-for-profit health care organization, Noland is one of the largest providers of multi-level senior living communities in the state. Senior living options include garden homes, independent living apartments, assisted living, residential and day memory care, short term rehabilitation and long term skilled nursing care.

Noland communities are strategically and have expanded to locations in Mobile and Baldwin County

area and offer a wide range of amenities and services.

Noland communities include Allen Health and Rehabilitation in Mobile, Eastern Shore Rehabilitation and Health in Daphne and The Haven Assisted Living/ Memory Care in Gulf Shores. In addition to the facilities in the coastal Alabama area, Noland has numerous facilities offering all levels of care in the greater Birmingham area.

Noland Health Services also specializes in long term hospitals for patients that require extended care due to chronic diseases or complex medical conditions. These hospitals are innovative regional referral hospitals dedicated to meeting the complex treatment and clinical education needs of patients and families who require extended or specialty focused stays in a hospital setting.

Noland Health Services is proud to have celebrated over 100 years of providing health services to the citizens of Alabama. For more information contact www.nolandhealth.com.~

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 125 Short-term rehabilitation services may be provided to individuals with diagnoses such as joint replacements, stroke, etc. Long-term rehab may also be provided for permanent residents of the facility who have chronic or progressive illnesses. Occupational therapy services in this setting are generally reimbursed by Medicare Part A for short-term, acute care clients; Medicare Part B for long-term residents who require skilled services and have medically necessary need for rehab; and often by private insurance, Medicaid, or private pay for younger clients.

RESIDENTIAL HOME – Assisted living homes are private residential homes that typically have a small number of residents who live together and receive care from live-in caretakers. Adult family homes offer room and board for seniors who want a more private, home-like community. Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing are provided. Amenities and nursing services vary greatly between homes.

Ask about their services when you tour. They are also referred to as personal board and care homes. Most accept private pay; Medicaid in some instances.

RESPITE CARE / SHORT-TERM STAY – Otherwise known as a short-term stay. Any provider of IL, AL, ALZ or SNF care can elect to provide fully furnished accommodations to a per-
