MOBILE MEMORIAL GARDENS

Mobile Memorial Gardens is a Many, if not most, large cemeteries Unique Cemetery are investor-owned profit oriented commercial endeavors. Regardless of how they are promoted, their ultimate driving force is generating income that can be divided among owners, often times an out of town corporation.

Mobile Memorial Gardens is different. It is an independent, not for profit (501 c13) organization that is almost a one of a kind in Alabama.

The income received from the sale of its offerings is used for the benefit of the ones that use the cemetery – YOU – because there are no owners. All of its income is used to operate, maintain, and improve the cemetery.

The “Gardens” is based on the memorial park cemetery concept and was founded in 1953 by a group of distinctively visionary business people led by Mr. Charles Miller. It is governed by a board of trustees 16 ALABAMA GULF COAST – FALL 2022–WINTER 2023

made up of prominent business persons for the benefit of the owners of burial rights at the cemetery. It is not affiliated with any funeral home, church, religious sect, or government agency. Its two hundred-plus acres of developed and undeveloped landscape is located between Three Notch Road and Nevius Road in central Mobile county near Hillcrest Road. Approximately one hundred

twenty acres have been developed for interment sites, including both inground options and modern mausoleum choices with accommodations for both traditional entombment plus cremation inurnment.

After the loss of a loved one, deciding the best burial option is a personal and very important decision to make.

Traditional burials are a very common service to perform, but it’s becoming more and more common for families to choose cremation.

Mobile memorial Gardens is offering free, no obligation information sessions along with a tour of all the beautiful cremation burial options.

Tips For Dementia Caregiving can be a seriCaregivers ous challenge for even the most experienced caregiver.

Dementia affects everyone differently as each person is unique and has their own needs. What may work for someone may not work for your loved one as effectively, but a caregiver can take aspects of different methods, tweak them, and then apply it to best fit their loved one’s needs.

Dementia is a cognitive disorder and your loved one cannot help the way they think, and this can lead to exaggerated stubborn behaviors. Often times, challenging behaviors are caused by a negative stimulus like pain, exhaustion, or an unmet need. One of the best skills you can have as a caregiver is observation, understand your loved one’s body language and queues to recognize when something is wrong.

Dementia inhibits your loved one’s communication skills, and sometimes they won’t be able to tell you what is bothering them. You can try asking, but make sure you use simple and prompt questions, dragging out a conversation can lead to more confusion. You might notice through their body language, that they have a slight limp in their gait, telling you that they could be experiencing joint pains. Or you might notice they are

20 ALABAMA GULF COAST – FALL 2022–WINTER 2023

lethargic during the day, meaning something is preventing them from getting a proper night’s rest. Redirection is also an effective tactic for approaching challenging behaviors.

If a loved one is agitated or combative, don’t confront and argue, redirect their attention to something else. Every person is different and has unique body language, it’s up to caregivers to take the time and understand the body language of their loved ones so they can recognize when something is wrong, because they may not have the ability to tell us themselves.

There are many skills caregivers need, and due to the ever-changing nature of dementia, it’s up to you to keep on learning, and adapting new strategies for your loved one’s care.

However daunting the task may be, just remember that you are not alone! Several resources to help you are just a click or a phone call away.

Whether it’s respite care, or just getting advice on how to proceed with providing care, make sure to seek help when and where you need it!

Powers Of Attorney and WHY YOU NEED A POWER OF Guardianships ATTORNEY Everyone should execute a durable power of attorney for healthcare and for finances. This legal document gives someone you appoint the ability to make healthcare decisions for you if you can’t, or to handle your finances if you are unable.

If you do not execute these documents and you become incapacitated suddenly, your family will be forced to go to probate court and seek a guardianship.

This is an expensive and difficult process that is unnecessary in some cases if you do take care of your paperwork in advance.

WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT A power of attorney allows someone to sign you into a hospital or nursing home. It does not make someone your boss. This document cannot be used to trump your free will. So, if you are at home recovering from an illness and wish to pay for care at home, no matter the cost, the person you appoint cannot

22 ALABAMA GULF COAST – FALL 2022–WINTER 2023

“overrule” your decision by using the power of attorney you gave them.

HOW IT WORKS It does serve to insulate your loved one from accruing your debt.

For example, your child rushes to the hospital when they get word that you are ill. When they arrive, the business office hands them paperwork to sign that “gives us permission to treat.” Later, the paperwork actually includes a financial guarantor clause. By signing in their own name, they are undertaking any associated bills. If they have a power of attorney, then they can sign your name and avoid that liability.

WHAT IS A GUARDIANSHIP This is a court appointment, and in Alabama, the Probate Court of your county opens a case upon the filing of a petition for guardianship, and appoints two lawyers to your case; one lawyer will represent you – the “alleged incapacitated

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

person”, and the other will represent the Court. The Court requires that you be given proper notice and the opportunity to appear at a hearing. Medical evidence showing your incapacity must be sworn. If the court finds that you are incapacitated, then the Court enters an Order finding so and issues Letters of Guardianship, which gives the Guardian the ability to make healthcare decisions, or Letters of Conservatorship, which gives the Conservator the ability to handle financial matters. In this case, since the Court oversees this process and ongoing finances, then the Guardian and Conservator have the final word, even if it means doing something different than what you want.

HOW DO YOU PLAN FOR THIS? The most important thing would be to execute your powers of attorney, because the person you appoint has priority to serve as your Guardian or Conservator. This helps the person you trust the most if something terrible happens and you aren’t able to take care of yourself.

Please see an elder law attorney to find out the best way to plan for your future. Although no one wants to think about a time when we are not able to make decisions, by not deciding, you might have an uncertain future. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by by Kyla G.

Exercise Your Brain, Your No one needs to tell older adults Body and Your that exercise is good for the body.

Independence According to health statistics, Seniors have increased their physical activity rate more than 30% in the last two decades.

Seniors know physical activity helps their muscles and bones, improves balance and coordination, makes their hearts healthier and combats disease.

But, what about brain health? As researchers have begun to focus more on the cognitive benefits of exercise, studies are showing that physical activity results in amazing benefits to the Senior brain. And, improved cognitive ability combats the number one fear of older adults: the loss of their independence due to their inability to think and make decisions for themselves.

New neuroscience research is demonstrating that exercise is one of the most transformative things you can do to improve your brain. Better learning, thinking, memory and focus all help Seniors become smarter, live longer and stay in control of their own lives.

Here’s how exercise boosts your brain health: New Brain Cells. Exercise actually promotes the growth of new brain cells. One of the most significant

benefits of exercise, is the promotion of “neurogenesis,” or the creation of new brain cells. It also improves the functioning of the synapses (the space between neurons) and this allows brain cells to communicate better.

Less Anxiety, Depression and Social Isolation.

Studies show that every time you move your body, beneficial neurotransmittersincluding dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin - are released into your brain. A study conducted during the Covid pandemic – when senior fitness centers were forced to shut down – tracked Seniors participating in online fitness programs, instead of in-person classes. While the typical physical benefits were shown, participants overwhelmingly reported social isolation and depression.

More Focus. Exercise improves focus and concentration. Researchers have found that a single workout improves the ability of Seniors to shift and focus attention. Improved reaction time helps with avoiding slips, trips and falls and may help keep you out of your next fender bender.

Bigger Brain. Exercise can help protect your brain against Dementia

workouts per week that are fun and give your brain a decent work out.

Senior Centers are a good place to start getting your brain in shape, where you can be among your peers, and classes are geared toward older adults. You will also experience a camaraderie among others that feel strongly about staying in control of their own lives.

So…get moving, build your brain and help ensure you can maintain your independence. ~ Editor’s Note: This article is courtesy of the Via Health, Fitness and Enrichment Center, located in Midtown. The Via Center is a community center that provides health, fitness, and enrichment programs for active, older adults. See ad below.

and Alzheimer’s Disease.

The brain is like a muscle, and it gets bigger and stronger the more you exercise it. Studies show the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (which are susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases) can better protect themselves.

How much exercise do you need to super charge your brain? First a side note, exercise does not have to be a drudgery! Walking together, doing low-impact chair exercise classes (aerobic exercise provides even more benefits because it gets your heart pumping and more oxygen circulating throughout your body), line dancing, playing a group sport, such as Pickleball, all boost your brain.

You can do three to four 30-minute

HOSPICE CARE HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 81 GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief.

Many provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting.

PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications.

Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency.

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.

PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations 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.

SENIOR HOUSING DEFINITIONS

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. ~

Senior Housing Definitions AGE RESTRICTIONS – Some communities have a restriction on the youngest age they are allowed to accept. These restrictions vary by community.

ALZHEIMER’S / DEMENTIA ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY – Licensed assisted living facility or skilled nursing facility that specialize in delivering care to victims of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Communities are typically bedroom-style rental units with common areas for dining and activities. Many are locked for residents’ safety.

PRICE DEPENDENT ON LEVELS OF CARE – Flexible levels of service geared to accommodate different needs over time. Rates may vary depending on the changing levels of care while one maintains the same physical residence.

PUBLIC HOUSING (PH) – Affordable apartments for low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities.

REHABILITATION AND THERAPY – Many skilled nursing facilities offer restorative and rehabilitative physical and occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services.

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.

RETIREMENT COMMUNITY – Housing designed specifically for mature adults. Typically Studio, 1 BR or 2 BR rental apartments with full kitchens, and private baths are available.

SENIOR HOUSING

Understanding Your Options: Ways to Pay for Senior Living Perhaps you have come to the decision that you or a family member would benefit from senior living and have already begun looking into your options. You know what level of care is needed and have found the community that offers these services with the right amenities in the perfect location.

The only thing left to figure out now is how to actually pay for these senior living services. As a senior living provider in Alabama, Community Senior Life’s goal is to help individuals navigate their senior living journey every step of the way.

We commit to meeting our residents’ social, spiritual, physical, and financial needs, so we are sharing some ways to pay for senior living care and services.

We have Home Ownership, Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care options.

Private Pay The simplest and most widely accepted way to pay for senior living is through private pay or paying

96 ALABAMA GULF COAST – FALL 2022–WINTER 2023

through personal finances. Any savings, income, or retirement funds can be used to cover the costs of senior living, but it’s important to be realistic and budget-conscious if you are relying solely on this source.

If you have been preparing and saving for retirement or still receive a regular income, private pay options

may be enough to cover your senior living costs. However, this is not the case for many individuals, and the cost of senior living quickly uses up what they have saved. Because of this, below are some alternative options that can be used separately or in conjunction with your retirement savings.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Bridge Loans According to Forbes Advisor, “a bridge loan is a form of short-term financing that gives individuals and businesses the flexibility to borrow money for up to a year.”

Even though a bridge loan can be a somewhat risky option since financing is only up to a year, this is a good option if you or a loved one needs to quickly move into a senior living community, but the sale of a house is still pending.

Renting Your Home For some individuals, selling their homes is simply out of the question.

Maybe they aren’t ready to part with their house, or they want to leave it to a child or grandchild. If this is you, that is okay, but you might as well make some money off of it.

To help cover the costs of senior living, renting out your home may be an option. By doing so, you will get to hold onto your house and the memories it has while also receiving a regular monthly income. This option requires more planning, though, since rental properties require upkeep and maintenance. If you do not have someone who can help with these tasks, a rental management company can help oversee the logistics, finances, and maintenance of a property.

Veteran Benefits Individuals who served in the United States military and their spouses may be entitled to benefits that can help cover the costs of senior living services. The United States Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) provides care resources to active-duty soldiers and veterans.

Visit their website to view a series of links to resources and information that can assist you and your family on your senior living journey.

SENIOR HOUSING

Home Equity While it may be difficult, selling your home is a great way to cover the costs of senior living. The equity that your home has accrued over the years can be used in addition to your other private pay options and make your savings last longer.

Make Sure You Know What’s Included in the Cost Every senior living community is different, but many people do not consider that the monthly rate for a senior living community includes more than just a place to live. This price often includes meals, a certain level of support and care services, community amenities, and home maintenance. Make sure to check with the community you are considering prior to moving in to verify everything that is included in the monthly rate.

For a more in-depth look at what is included in the price at all of our Community Senior Life communities in Alabama, download our free Cost Comparison Worksheet. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Community Senior Life.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS PROGRAM

Circle of Friends Program Targets Loneliness and Loneliness has long been a serious problem for older adults. With the Social Isolation pandemic, health and mental health issues have been exacerbated by circumstances – home orders, closed senior centers and churches, fewer family gatherings, restrictions on hospital and nursing home visitation. All have brought a face to the problem of loneliness.

Loneliness Linked to Serious Health Conditions Loneliness and social isolation in older adults are public health risks.

Older adults are more likely to face living alone, loss of family, chronic illness and hearing loss.

The AARP Foundation and the National Council on Aging, in extensive studies, found older adults who describe themselves as lonely have a 59% greater risk of functional decline and a 45% greater risk of death. Surveys reported 17% of adults aged 65 and older are isolated (nearly 1 in 5), with 46% of women aged 75 and older living alone.

Isolation is harmful at any age but is especially dangerous for people over 50. The health risks of prolonged isolation have been found to be equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Social isolation and loneliness are associated with higher blood pressure, increased susceptibility to the flu, greater risk of heart disease, the earlier

ocietal barriers, such as lack of S opportunities for older adults to engage and contribute, to have meaningful activities Lack of access and inequity, including issues of poverty, rural living and marginalized groups

So, what can help mitigate this?

No matter the future, loneliness will continue to be a challenge for older adults. The Area Agency on Aging is increasing resources to address this issue by developing the Circle of Friends program.

The Circle of Friends program will include:

1

Intervention by a social worker to address needs and provide home visitation when indicated.

2

Friendly Calling: The telephone reassurance program aimed at addressing feelings of social isolation and improving mental and emotional well-being through increased socialization and friendships. The Area Agency on Aging RSVP Volunteer program will be expanded to offer friendly phone visitation, and in-person visitation when indicated between matched “friends” utilizing volunteers who have been prescreened.

3

Social Isolation Resources: To improve social connectedness the Area Agency on Aging will provide the following resources: n

VENTILATOR - Moves breatheable air into and out of the lungs, to provide the mechanism of breathing for a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or is breathing insufficiently.

WANDERGUARD - Offered at some facilities. A resident with memory loss or confusion wears a small discrete pendant. Each external door in the care home is fitted with a radio detector which detects when a pendant moves near an exit. The WanderGuard will sound an audible alarm, alerting the staff of a patient wandering. ~
