maintaining their independence and remaining in their communities.

The insurance counseling program called Senior Insurance Assistance is one of these programs. Our trained staff bring more than 30 years of experience in the health insurance field to assist you.

Our Senior Insurance Assistance program is also a State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) office, and while the PPACG AAA serves only El Paso, Park and Teller counties, our SHIP program serves those counties as well as Chaffee, Custer, Fremont, Huerfano, Lake and Las Animas counties. We visit those rural areas on a rotating basis, but we are always available to county residents by phone toll-free at 888-696-7213.

Our staff and volunteers are trained in the most current insurance information by the Colorado Division of Insurance. We do not sell any insurance, only give free guidance and support to those receiving Medicare benefits or to those who soon will be.

Our staff is here to help you understand Medicare and your health insurance plan so you will feel secure in your health insurance choices. We will help you review and compare insurance plans, including supplemental programs, employer

group health plans, Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans and long-term care insurance programs.

We will help you review and understand your insurance statement or bill, if you are concerned about proper billing.

We can also advise and educate you about other insurance-related programs and how to get the greatest benefit for which you are qualified. And, if you are disputing an insurance claim or appealing a decision by Medicare or another health insurer, we can help you with that too.

If you are new to Medicare, come attend one of our free monthly Medicare 101 classes. These classes are taught by our experienced staff and will give you a chance to ask questions and make follow-up appointments with a familiar face. We look forward to seeing you at the PPACG Area Agency on Aging soon!

Everything Is So Costly, How Can I often hear this from families just We Afford The starting the care service maze.

Care We Need?

For those families that find that mom and dad, or their spouse needs a little more help, they begin a trip of discovery for affordable care. With many options available, finding the right fit can be overwhelming. Often the decision is influenced by factors such as whether there is a spouse or local family members to help with care, is the home a safe location, and the size of the care budget available. Let’s examine how these factors affect the outcome.

Family Care A first consideration is who is available to provide the “free” care we all take for granted. Because chronic care may be associated with advanced age, often the spouse may have issues of their own that may limit the quality of care provided.

For a husband who needs a walker and has a history of falls, the spouse may not be strong enough to render help when needed. If the care is from a daughter or son who is just across town or in nearby Denver, the need to be available can be a daily task that may impact their family and career.

Home or Community Just as in real estate, care should consider the best location.

If the home is a safe place it will likely be the first choice for care, but let’s examine that qualifier; is it safe? For someone who needs help

with meal prep and showering assist, home is where everyone wants to be. For our previous example, the home with stairs can be a formidable obstacle. Add a little dementia and being home alone may not be a suitable environment. Then a community care provider may be a better choice.

Managing Costs Now we begin to explore costs and how to pay for the care required.

If there is a long term care policy, the policy may have low payout or short duration. For memory issues, the need for care can last 5 years or more. A life insurance policy may be convertible into a care policy.

A home may be used for a reverse mortgage to provide funds. If dad was a veteran, the Aid & Attendance Pension may provide funds for care.

Finally, Medicaid is the safety net that provides a helping hand when resources are low. To help sort these financial choices it’s best to consult a Care Cost Advisor to create a roadmap to pay for care. It’s a free service that could be invaluable. ~ Editor’s Note: This article submitted

Many however, loose their teeth over time due to decay or gum disease and end up with partial or full dentures. The dentures become loose, gum tissue becomes sore, and eating becomes very difficult. Seniors love to stay social, eat good, and share great times with family and friends without the embarrassment and difficulties that come with denture use.

The quality of life is especially important at this stage and we need to do everything we can to improve it.

Dental Implants dramatically improve life quality for many older individuals by letting them eat better, get better nutrition, stay more social, and lead active and vital lives. The advantage of Mini Dental Implants is the minimally invasive, single stage placement procedure.

The insertion of the mini implants does not require the more invasive surgery involved with regular implants. The healing time is minimal and the best part is… the denture can attach to the mini implants on the same visit!

Dental Mini Implants allow patients to eat any food they want comfortable and get the necessary nutrition. Mini Implants effectively support the overlying dentures

Although your teeth are designed to last a lifetime when cared for properly, many people find that age-related imperfections of the teeth can cause them to look older than they are. Even worse, in some cases, tooth decay has been linked to larger dental and overall health issues such as heart disease.

However, there is good news.

In some dental practices, doctors have created specific protocols for seniors which assist in rejuvenating aging smiles. These dentists use procedures that can actually take years off your appearance and keep you healthy for years to come.

Effects of Aging on Your Teeth Over the years, night grinding, teeth clenching, gum disease, discoloring foods such as wine and chocolate, smoking, and lack of preventative care can have a negative effect on your appearance. The color, shape, and size of your teeth can add 5-10 years to your appearance.

Why is a Durable Power Sometimes I am asked what of Attorney planning documents are most Necessary? important, and people are often surprised when I first mention the need for powers of attorney.

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that appoints a person to act as your “agent” in your absence or when you are unable to act for yourself. Depending upon how the document is drafted your agent can be authorized to make financial and health care decisions for you.

Married couples frequently believe their spouse will be able to handle everything on their behalf should a need arise. This is simply not the case. For example, if a married couple owns property together, and one of them is mentally or physically incapacitated, without a proper POA the other spouse would need to be appointed as a guardian for the incapacitated spouse in order to sell the property. This would likewise apply to investment and retirement accounts and other types of property.

Another area where a lack of a Power of Attorney can create problems is in healthcare decision making. Do not make the mistake of believing you have the right to make health decisions for your parent or spouse if they are unable to do so. A

30 COLORADO SPRINGS - NOVEMBER 2017-2018

Durable Power of Attorney should be in place to deal with these situations or you could end up in court seeking a guardianship order so you can take care of a loved one.

Court proceedings can be quite costly in that they involve court filing fees, attorney fees, physician’s fees, and other costs. These can be avoided with some simple planning. When my wife’s mother suffered a stroke we were able to administer her affairs because we had planned in advance. We never had to go to court, and my wife took care of all her mother’s financial and medical needs without ever having to obtain court permission.

Moreover, do not be fooled by a “one size fits all” power of attorney.

POAs need to be drafted with your specific needs in mind, so do not trust your needs to something that can be pulled off the web. It could be a very costly mistake. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by William H.

Do I Need A Will Or A Trust?

That is one of the most common questions I am asked. The problem is that is the same as asking if you should turn left or right without saying where you are or what your destination is.

In fact, those are typically my first two questions in an initial meeting.

First: “What is your goal? And second: “Where you are in life and what do you have?”

Then we can figure out the best way to get there.

The standard estate planning for many years has been a Will. It is tried and true and cost effective. You should start with a Will and move to a trust based plan only if you need to. So when do you need to move to a trust based plan? Correctly drafted and properly funded, a trust will avoid probate. They allow you to give someone else (typically a spouse from a second marriage) permission to live in your house until they pass away and then have the house go to your specified heirs.

If you just left the house to the second spouse outright, he or she could leave it to whomever they wish to…which may or may not include your planned heirs. Trusts also allow

32 COLORADO SPRINGS - NOVEMBER 2017-2018

much more privacy for the administration of your estate. Finally, if you own property in more than one state, a trust allows you to avoid probate in each state. If you think one attorney is expensive try having two or more, in different states!

There is a third option that many don’t know exist: the Will and beneficiary deed. Beneficiary deeds are deeds that act just like beneficiary designations on bank account or on life insurance. Upon your death, instead of going through probate, your beneficiaries just file a death certificate with the county and the property is transferred to your beneficiaries. No lawyers and no waiting. So, if your estate consists of a home in Colorado and some investments and you want everything divided equally between your beneficiaries a Will with a beneficiary deed plan may be right for you…all at a cost of less than half of what a trust would likely cost. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ryan N.

HealthCare in Retirement Would you believe that HealthCare in Retirement is the second largest expense in retirement? Married couples retiring at Age 65 will average $260,000.00 in healthcare cost*.

You may need even more if Chronic Illness Care is required!

What reasons matter in determining your HealthCare cost? For starters, your age and health at retirement matters; seems we don’t get healthier as we age! Your health today and at retirement is always a significant factor in life! Many of us may have to deal with a chronic illness or disability in life such as Alzheimer’s, serious stokes or crippling arthritis. What would you do?

How long you live after retirement is a huge factor. It seems we all are living longer than ever before, which requires us to plan for the cost of care over a longer life span, which will have a major impact on your healthcare expense! The level of HealthCare coverage adds up, including Medicare and Long Term Care, and it can be challenging to understand your options! Since Medicare/Medicaid is the primary HealthCare Plan for retirees, it is important to take time to understand it completely, but it may be confusing!

Can I Preserve Assets and Meet Charlie and Fran. They have Still Qualify for three children, 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. They Medicaid have worked hard and enjoy life on their small family farm. This place is important to their entire family.

As they age, they realize that if either one of them needs Long Term Care, that their property and other assets could be at risk.

They need accurate information they can trust so that if Long Term Care needs come on suddenly, or if Long Term Care is some years away, they are prepared and are doing all they can to ensure that their future generations can enjoy this farm and other things they have worked hard for.

It is estimated that over 70% of people over 65 will need some type of Long Term Care(LTC) according to the US Department of Health & Human Services. Colorado has many resources for financial help like Health First Colorado, Colorado’s Medicaid Program. Medicaid will help with in home care, assisted living and nursing facility care.

Most Colorado elderly who need help paying for LTC feel that they will not qualify for Medicaid because they have too much income or too many assets. In reality, many could qualify if they had the information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a Certified Medicaid Planner (CMP)

designation. The role of a CMP is to assist an applicant file a complete and correct Medicaid application and work with the Department of Human Services to gain approval for LTC Medicaid.

The rules around Medicaid eligibility are readily available online. Incomplete or inaccurate advice often causes people to think that spend down is the only way to qualify for LTC Medicaid. This simply is not true and can lead to an unnecessary spend down and/or liquidation of the limited assets people have worked a lifetime to obtain.

There are legitimate means of preserving valuable or sentimental assets and income. Here in Colorado, to the surprise of many, the Medicaid guidelines afford numerous opportunities to protect income and assets. Consulting with a CMP who specializes in LTC can help you and your family to file a successful application and qualify for Long Term Care Medicaid. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written

Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself:

An SRES will help you properly price your home for maximum benefit. They will help you prepare to sell by recommending their team of trusted professionals in doing necessary repairs, to assist you with an estate sale or to help stage the home.

Finally, your SRES will counsel you,

Is home maintenance becoming a problem?

Is it time to live closer to my children or grandchildren?

Is the home becoming a financial burden?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time to move on. Whether moving to another community or to a senior-supportive environment, you need a trusted SRES in your corner. A Seniors Real Estate Specialist is a Realtor that is uniquely qualified to assist seniors in housing sales and purchases. Their mission is to help seniors and their families navigate the maze of financial, legal and emotional issues that accompany the sale of a forever home.

REHABILITATION HOSPITALS Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury 64 COLORADO SPRINGS - NOVEMBER 2017-2018

or other medical conditions. They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation hospitals were created to provide services less costly on a per diem basis than general hospitals but provide a high level of professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapies.

Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/or Speech), and interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day.

Get Active, Feel Great!

Rosemary Thomas proudly endorses physical fitness and the saying, “If you don’t move it, you will lose it.” After two hip replacements and fluctuating weight, she knew she needed to step up her fitness routine to regain mobility.

Joining SilverSneakers® provided her with the consistency she desired and the confidence she needed to begin fine-tuning her body. In addition to attending SilverSneakers classes regularly, she loves cardio and dancing.

Thomas encourages others to get active and says, “Don’t meet me at the gym; beat me getting to the gym.”

In 2016, Thomas was selected as one of 10 finalists for the SilverSneakers Richard L. Swanson Inspiration Award due to her inspiring story of improving her health and happiness, and being a dedicated fitness champion.

With SilverSneakers, older adults can get active and feel great, at their convenience – and at no additional cost. More than 14.5 million people are eligible for the SilverSneakers benefit through more than 60 health plans that include the nation’s leading Medicare Advantage health plans, Medicare Supplement carriers

and group retiree plans.

As Thomas’ story shows, fitness is personal. Each individual should exercise where, when and how they want. That’s why SilverSneakers has built a national network of more than 13,000 participating locations and fitness centers – use the pool at one location in the morning, jog on a treadmill at another in the afternoon And take a class at another gym in the evening.

In addition, the program includes SilverSneakers FLEX®, with more than 70 unique types of classes in convenient neighborhood locations, such as churches, recreation centers and older-adult living communities.

Celebrating more than 25 years, SilverSneakers is the nation’s leading community fitness program designed specifically for older Americans. No other program has such a rich history and experience in older adult fitness. What began in 1992 as a first-of-its-kind class for older adults, has now grown and evolved to accommodate all fitness levels, from Baby Boomers and beyond.

For more information about SilverSneakers or to check elegibility, visit www.silversneakers.com or call 1-877-402-6753. In addition, our Spanish customer service team is available at 1-888-617-6392. ~ Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

Balancing Wellness How do you describe wellness? Is it eating salads for one week out of the year; taking a walk in the morning; getting a flu shot?

Wellness is more than changing a few habits.

“Holistic wellness is about the whole person and not the parts,” according to Dr. Jennifer Hunter, a senior fellow at the National Institute of Complementary Medicine.

Wellness is a balancing act of many different components.

If a part of ourselves is missing we are not able to be our very best. So how do you become balanced and well? Dr. Bill Hettler, co-founder of the National Wellness Institute, developed what is known as the six dimensions of wellness. These dimensions are emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, occupational and social wellness. All of these components are interconnected and work well in synergy with one another. Giving attention to each dimension will help create a balance of wellness.

Emotional wellness is being aware and able to manage feelings in a realistic and positive way.

Spiritual wellness is connecting or grounding into something greater.

Intellectual wellness is engaging in creative activities, seeking opportunities that challenge critical thinking, and expanding understanding.

70 COLORADO SPRINGS - NOVEMBER 2017-2018

Physical wellness is keeping your body moving. Spend time each day being physically active; maintaining a healthy diet, and getting plenty of sleep.

Occupational wellness is giving back to the world and others in various ways.

It is having a purpose for waking up in the morning.

Social wellness is the creation of community. Whether you are an introverted or extroverted person everyone needs to have a community.

As you can see each dimension of wellness is intertwined. When one part is not receiving as much attention, another part overcompensates.

The goal is to have balance in all dimensions of wellness which ties together the beautiful you.

Your local senior center or active adults programs are a great place to help strengthen your dimesons of wellness. At Senior Centers’ you will find opportunities to socialize, including meals, clubs, and lifelong learning classes. Senior Centers are a place for one to be well in the later years of life. Create a balance of wellness in your life by stepping out and being well today! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written

by Mary Swantek , Operations and Programs Director at the Colorado Springs Senior Center, an innovated partnership with the YMCA and the City of Colorado Springs. You can reach her at 719955-3400. See ad on page 71.

“Veterans Program, Anyone?” Questions to Ask Any Non-Medical Does your agency utilize an existing VA benefit called Home Care Agency ‘Aid & Attendance’?

Some agencies offer help to Veterans but it’s mostly just gathering paperwork necessary for the A&A... and that’s it! Care typically doesn’t start until the VA pays the agency, which can take months with those agencies unfamiliar with the process. If you call an agency and they don’t know anything about the A&A benefit OR they do offer it and/ or it takes longer than 2-4 weeks to START care… move on! Instead, try and find an agency that understands the complexity of the A&A, can start care within 2-4 weeks and has no hidden costs to get started.

Do you have experienced VA Accredited Agents within your office to help with this process? Some agencies will outsource this critical step to local Attorneys or Financial Planners that may have accreditation, but the A&A benefit is just one of many products they offer. Find an agency that has VA Accredited Agents on their team that are dedicated and focused only on capturing the A&A benefit and offer no other products or services.

Are there any upfront costs to start the process? Again, some agencies work through an Attorney or a

82 COLORADO SPRINGS - NOVEMBER 2017-2018

Financial Planner that technically can help you with this process; however, they have creative ways of collecting payment for ‘other services’ so they can get paid up to an estimated $500 or more. Instead, try and find a Veteran-dedicated agency that offers this at NO COST OR RISK for those who apply. There is no reason for you to pay out-of-pocket for these services.

How long will it take before I can start care? Most agencies don’t start care immediately simply because they don’t have the funds available to absorb the cost of labor for weeks or even months waiting on the VA to begin payment. So, they will process the paperwork and make you wait until the VA releases the funds.

Try and find an agency that starts care within 2-4 weeks with no costs upfront and that offers a complete Veterans Program. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Steve Lee, Founder & Co-Owner of Veterans Aide at Home, a non-skilled home care agency dedicated to Veterans, Spouses and their Widows/ers.

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 individu-

al’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

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

24/7 ADMISSIONS – If a patient qualifies for hospice care, they should be admitted as early as the family requests. Many agencies admit patients to hospice,24/7, evenings weekends, and holidays.

AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

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.

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

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.

SeniorsBlueBook.com

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPY – Used as a method for relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light hands-on approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hospice care.

This is not reimbursed by Medicare.

MUSIC THERAPY – Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals”. A music therapist creates goals and objectives for their patients and uses music activities and music experiences (listening, composition, improvisation, or playing/singing a familiar song) in order to achieve those goals. This is not reimbursed

by Medicare.

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care Definitions continued from page 105 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.

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.

It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in 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.

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. ~

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

SeniorsBlueBook.com

ulation of 65+ is set to increase by 160%, while the population of 85+ is set to increase 337%. This is a national trend with potentially huge ramifications on the local level as baby boomers age in place, and older Americans move to be with their baby-boomer children.

Innovations in Aging Collaborative was formed with the goal of breaking down silos, spurring substantial conversation around what the “silver tsunami” would mean for the Pikes Peak region, and looking at innovative, collaborative ways to prepare.

In March 2016, Colorado Springs was accepted into the network of Age Friendly Cities by AARP and the World Health Organization. By doing so, we have committed to putting in the time and effort to make our city more “Age Friendly.”

To be “Age Friendly” means to be a community where the oldest and the youngest community members can live full, engaged, and active lives.

For example, the old and young are often unable to drive, which means that they are often stranded in a car-centric transportation system.

To connect to community activities, maintain social networks, and perform basic activities to living, they must depend on either a public

transportation system, safe walking paths, or other people to drive them. Similarly, as people age, they often want to downsize their home while remaining in their community.

Having smaller, accessible housing for this population is part of allowing individuals to age in community and continue contributing in ways that benefit everyone.

We work to affect change by partnering with community leaders in the non-profit, governmental, and for-profit sectors.

By doing so, we have managed to incubate several successful programs that focus on aging well in Colorado Springs. One excellent example is the Age Friendly Business Certification program that is now part of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado. Look for that badge on local businesses and visit their website to check out the list of certified Age Friendly Businesses. Visit our website to learn more about other initiatives and how you can get more involved in making our city Age Friendly! ~

That Tough Conversation “Dad, I don’t think it is safe for you to drive anymore.”

“Mom, have you considered Assisted Living? You are not eating very well and I noticed you did not take your medications again last night that I left out for you.”

“Mom and Dad, the house is falling apart around you. Have you considered bringing in some help with yard work, repairs, and maybe housekeeping?”

As an adult child who is helping to care for a parent, you might be facing a tough conversation with a loved one. There are ways to make those discussions easier and most of all, respectful, to those that have loved and cared for you over the years. Starting the conversation can be as easy as “Dad I am concerned about (fill in the blank)” You may find that they have been sharing some of these same concerns.

First, be respectful of the aging process. Physical and cognitive changes can be scary, and sometimes hard to acknowledge and accept. Educate yourself on options available, from help at home with household chores, additional medical

118 COLORADO SPRINGS - NOVEMBER 2017-2018

care or assisted living options. Understand that you are possibly asking a loved one give up a portion of their life, whether it is driving, making meals, or even living in their home.

You are possibly proposing that they close a chapter of their lives.

Secondly, don’t ignore things such as not eating, failing to take medications or a change in how the home is kept. Do try to open up a conversation on what you are observing and share information you learned from educating yourself on options which could help them. Get help or guidance from professionals if appropriate.

Lastly, understand that the choice, whatever it might be, is ultimately theirs to make. Asking a parent to accept help with cleaning, with cooking, or even help with bathing can be a big deal to them. Don’t avoid those tough conversations, but handle them with compassion and understanding.

MEMORY CARE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

Three Important Questions to Ask Searching for a quality memory care While Touring community for a loved one often Memory Care comes at a time of need. It can be overwhelming to make an important Communities decision for a loved one during such a time, but with a little prior knowledge and a few vital questions, an informed choice may be made.

Three questions to ask while visiting a memory care community:

1

What levels of care does this community provide? The ever-evolving symptoms of a memory-loss diagnosis may mean that varying levels of care will need to be provided throughout the lifetime of a resident. Moves from one care community to another may triggers symptoms of unease, depression, or anxiety. Check to see that the community you are touring will be able to not only handle the symptoms that are occurring now, but have the ability to help with a variety of possible outcomes.

2

Is there a nurse? How many hours a day is your nurse on staff? Prompt treatment of medical needs is imperative in providing the best outcomes for seniors. Having a licensed nurse on staff, ideally 24 hours per day, allows for quick processing of physician orders.

3

What type of training does your staff have? The symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer’s require spe146 COLORADO SPRINGS - NOVEMBER 2017-2018

cial skills and tools to provide the best quality of care. Ask the community you are touring how often their team members get training and what types of trainings are provided. Look for training specifically designed for memory care.

Memory Care communities are specially designed to meet the needs of individuals with a diagnosis of memory loss. Before touring a community gather a little information about the diagnosis and symptoms of your loved one as well as any financial information you have. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything on hand before touring, as a skilled memory care team will be able to help you gather any necessary information. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by New Dawn Memory Care of Colorado Springs.
