The doctor or NP works with the patient and family caregivers to provide services like those provided by the geriatrics and palliative care clinics. Your regular doctor or provider can request a consultation for you with any of these programs. You will then receive a call to schedule a convenient visit. After one or more visits, you will resume care with your regular doctor or provider. The clinics are located at 5966 West Curtisian Avenue in Boise (across the street from St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center). We provide convenient free parking and accept all major insurance.

Meridian’s Focus By Mayor Tammy de Weerd, on Seniors City of Meridian Meridian is recognized as one of the best places to live in America and one of the safest cities in Idaho. This is something I take great pride in as we focus on creating a community that is a great place to live, work and raise a family. What we are finding, is more and more grandparents are now choosing to call Meridian home as they visit their loved ones and fall in love with the community! That’s why our senior community continues to grow. In fact, Forbes recently named Meridian one of the “Top 25 Retirement Communities” – an accolade that meant a lot to us! We want to be sure we are making decisions with our senior community in mind. That’s why, in April of 2015, I established the Mayor’s Senior Advisory Board (MSAB). The 14-person board consists of people who want to make a difference and includes members who are new to Meridian as well as those who have been here for years. They are a diverse group between the ages of 50 and 70 and come from all regions of Meridian, but their common goal is to enhance the quality of life for our growing senior population. The MSAB has organized “Keys to Safe Driving” classes – that help

seniors better navigate the Treasure Valley roadways and give them a chance to qualify for insurance rate discounts. They’ve also held two hands-only CPR classes, and assisted our teen group (the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council) with events such as Trunk or Treat. While putting together these events and looking for more ways to connect with senior community, the MSAB members are also working on a Meridian Senior Resource Guide. We’re excited to partner with the Seniors Blue Book to launch the guide in early 2017, specific to our community. This will give our residents a manual for senior related resources in Meridian and will be available in print as well as on the City’s website. Meridian has been discovered by our seniors as a great place to live – but we are consistently looking for ways to make it even better. We have amazing senior living choices, a beautiful senior center in Kleiner Park and offer senior programming through our Parks and Recreation department. With great weather, low crime, and increasing transportation options, more and more people are choosing Meridian as their place to retire and call home.

Few people understand Care Management. This article explains what it is and who can benefit. Care Management focuses on managing a person’s healthcare and best interests. When someone hires a Care Management company, an Assessment is conducted to gather psychosocial, medical, and personal information to determine the appropriate care and services. Based on this information, a personalized Care Plan is created. A Care Manager works with clients, conservators, attorneys, and others to meet the individual’s unique needs and assures that doctor’s orders are followed and medications are ordered. The Care Manager is there to advocate for the best possible outcome during medical appointments, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. He or she works with discharge planners to assure a smooth transition home with the appropriate support services in place. Care Managers can also provide a cost effective way to plan for your health care needs

with a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care so you know someone will be there to advocate for you to ensure your medical choices will be carried out as planned. A Care Manager can even help find appropriate housing solutions, including independent, senior care communities and nursing homes. Who needs Care Management?

Seniors without family to make medical decisions for them, as well as those with families that live out of the area.

Feeling Overwhelmed, Confused, There are many things we prepare Frustrated? for in life: getting married, having kids, buying a home, retirement, etc. Unfortunately, most of us do not prepare for the day we notice that our parents, grandparents, or other aging loved one needs more help than before. They seem to be doing fine in some areas of their life, but you have concerns about others; it might be their driving, or how their home is kept, or their health is deteriorating. First, we are unsure if we should intervene, or if we do, we are not sure how much to get involved. Your loved one may welcome your help or they may not, in fact they may become defensive and push you away saying everything is just fine. You know at some level that this is not the full picture but you don’t know where to begin. Perhaps you are helping your aging family member(s) and are exhausted attending to their needs, your family needs, and when possible, your needs. You may or may not have siblings or other family members who could help but don’t or disagree with you on how to handle

the evolving needs and changing conditions. Or worse yet, you are in the midst of a crisis situation.

Your stress mounts, you feel overwhelmed, confused, and unsure about what to do next, you don’t know what resources are out there, and/or how to handle the emotional challenges within the family system.

Our Culture Of Financial Exploitation: Today’s elders are bombarded by How To Identify, scams from all angles: in person by door-to-door sales, telemarketers by Report, and phone, scam lotteries and sweepstakes by mail, phishing scams by Prevent Abuse internet, and by family members and acquaintances who prey on the generosity and vulnerability of an aging individual.

Due to confusion and unfamiliarity with these crimes and scams, victims and families fail to identify and report the majority of financial abuse and exploitation. Elder exploitation is not a civil matter. Idaho code §18-1505 criminalizes financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult where: (1) someone unjustly or improperly uses a victim’s property for profit or advantage; and (2) the victim is a “vulnerable adult” -meaning the victim has a physical or mental impairment affecting judgment and capacity. Idaho’s theft law (Idaho Code 18-2403) also criminalizes wrongfully taking or withholding an elder’s property by trick, deception, or false promise. For example, when a door-to-door salesperson exploits the capacity of a customer/victim to make a sale, or unnecessarily convinces an elderly person to purchase a new water

heater, furnace, windows, etc.; or where a handy-man takes prepayment for work without the intent of completing a job, or simply refuses to follow up, there has been a crime committed worthy of report to law

enforcement. Failing to report these abuses perpetuates the problem and emboldens the criminals. How do you report it? First: Call your city law enforcement. Many agencies have dedicated specialists who recognize, investigate, and prosecute exploitation. You must convince them that this is not a simple case of buyer’s remorse or a civil

not honorary, nor a matter of birthright to the first born child. Rather, candidates are to be thoughtful, trusted individuals, unlikely to take advantage and self-less in their decisions. It may be necessary to use the services of professionals for these appointments. The constant stream of attempts at the financial exploitation of elders must be combated. By creating a culture where we recognize, report, and work with professionals to plan for the inevitable barrage of attempted exploitation, we can dissuade and prosecute those who would take advantage of the most vulnerable members of society.

dispute. Using these words, explain to them the exploitation targeted special, vulnerable victims with a diminished capacity and specific impairments (Alzheimers, dementia, etc). A financial crime has been committed. Second: Be persistent. Keep calling until you speak with a detective familiar with investigating exploitation. Follow up with the investigation. If the case is important to you, it will be important to law enforcement. Third: Ensure a criminal report is generated and routed to the prosecuting agency for review. Sometimes it takes a specialized prosecuting attorney to identify and charge elder exploitation. What else can you do to protect yourself? There are several proactive measures, from building a trusted network of family and trusted friends, to talking with a knowledgeable attorney about Powers of Attorney, Trusts, Wills, and the type of individuals who should be appointed to trusted positions in each document. These appointments are

A Will or Trust: Which Is When it comes to deciding whethBest for You? er a will or trust is best for you, it is important to understand your options and which one is most appropriate for your situation.

Will A testamentary will (simply referred to as a “will”) is a legal document used to transfer an estate to beneficiaries after the death of the “testator” (the person making the will). Within the will, the testator usually names a “personal representative” (same as an “executor”) for the estate. A will is revocable (it can be cancelled by the testator) or it can be amended by the testator. For a will to be valid in Idaho, it must meet specific requirements under Idaho law. Revocable Living Trusts A person, during his or her lifetime, may create a “revocable living trust” whereby the grantor (the person making the trust), trustee (the person who has legal authority to manage the trust assets) and

beneficiary (the person who makes use of the trust assets) are all the same person. After the grantor dies, depending on the trust instructions, the trust assets may be distributed outright or held within the trust and distributed over time or upon the happening of a designated event. Revocable living trusts may be appropriate for persons who own real property in more than one state or have a blended family where spouses have children from prior relationships.

Testamentary Trusts A testamentary trust is a trust within a will. A testamentary trust is created upon the death of a person as specified in his or her will. The testamentary trust holds assets

For this reason, when a person creates a revocable living trust, it is best to also create a will, called a pour-over-will, as a safety net to assure that upon death any assets titled in the name of an individual are transferred to the trust and distributed accordingly. In Idaho, generally speaking, the probate process can be quite simple and relatively inexpensive.

Does Having a Revocable Living Trust Eliminate Probate? To avoid the probate process, all assets must be transferred into the name of the revocable living trust. A common misconception is that a list of assets attached to the trust document accomplishes a transfer to the trust. However, the correct way to transfer assets requires an actual change to the title of assets including a home, certificate of deposits, bank accounts and brokerage accounts. Upon death, any assets titled in the name of an individual, not the trust, will be subject to the probate process.

A New or Updated Estate Plan Whether a will or trust is appropriate for you depends on your circumstances. If you already have a will or trust, it should be reviewed periodically to make sure it reflects your current wishes and needs or upon any significant change in your life such as divorce or death of a spouse or beneficiary.

within the trust instead of outright distribution to a beneficiary. A common scenario is when parents create a testamentary trust to hold assets for the support of minor children or for college education for children until they reach a specified age. A testamentary trust can also hold assets for the special needs of a disabled child who receives government benefits.

MORNINGSTAR – BUILDING FAMILY FOR LIFE Shelly Tatistcheff lives around the corner from MorningStar of Boise. She always knew the community would be a great place for her parents: Chester and Betty Ellyson. Shelly even went so far as filling out the paperwork with Director of Community Relations, Lesley Jacobson. “I knew it was time for a transition. Food was spoiling in the frig. They weren’t eating. But I wanted them to make the ultimate decision.” One day, Lesley called to announce, “Your mom is here right now, getting a tour!” The next week, Chester and Betty were moved in. That was four years ago. While determined to stay independent long as able, the Ellysons were pleased to know (with MorningStar’s assisted living care) they’d never have to move again. That shift did become necessary with Betty’s increased memory impairment. Yet Chet could continue helping his wife with a little extra help from MorningStar. Shelly recalls the day MorningStar assumed management (December 2013). Suddenly, wonderfully, Life Enrichment took a big upswing. “We didn’t know how underwhelming it was until it all got so much better!” Chester, the extrovert, was in his element, engaged in everything the calendar had to offer. And the MorningStar bus began going to every major event in town. In July 2016, Shelly by his side, Chet passed away peacefully in his suite (Betty had passed in August 2014). But not before a steady stream of MorningStar friends filed in to tenderly say good-bye. “You could tell how much they really cared…that this wasn’t just their job.” What an honor for MorningStar to have welcomed into the family Chester, the beloved schoolteacher, and Betty, the vibrant realtor, who together for 12 years served as missionaries, setting up libraries in impoverished areas of Europe. We are truly privileged to serve such heroes of society.

Who You Gonna Call? In the movie Ghostbusters, the battle cry in the fight against the weird, the macabre, the undead, the ghosts was “Who You Gonna Call?” Of course, the answer was “the Ghostbusters” and for a fee they fought off your unwanted non-living guests. When it comes to planning on how to pay for your long term care or catastrophic health issues, maybe you should ask, “Who you gonna call?”. Many people rely on information they get from friends, neighbors, family members or the internet. I have no doubt that many, if not most of these people, are well intentioned and mean to help. However, if they don’t have years of training and experience, in providing families the latest information on Medicaid, estate planning, or Veterans Benefits, (if, in fact, they have never applied for a Medicaid or VA benefit) I strongly suggest great care in taking their advice. An Elder Law attorney must be educated in areas of Estate Planning, Income Tax issues, Gift and Estate Tax Planning, Real and Personal Property Law (including community and separate property issues) Probate, Guardianship and Conservatorship, Revocable and Irrevocable Trust Planning, Incapacity Planning, Asset Protection Planning, Elder Abuse and Fraud, Housing, Social Security and Retirement Planning.

While usually not an expert in each field, addressing issues for retired and senior adults requires understanding of how these areas of law interact with each other and how planning in one area affects the rights of a client in another area. It’s rarely as simple as it seems. The team at Idaho Estate Planning has decades of experience in the areas making up Elder Law. We have help over 3000 families plan and/ or administer their estates. We have helped war-time vets in the Treasure Valley receive over $3 million in VA benefits. We have spent countless hours in presentations educating financial, legal and insurance professionals as well people like you concerning Estate Planning and Elder Law. Mark Wight is also a published author and host of the Senior Matters Radio Show heard every Saturday at 12:30 pm on KBOI 670 AM. If you have questions concerning your estate, your independence, paying for long term care or protecting your loved ones after your passing, call us.

for shoes. And, not many people realize that shoes are made for specific kinds of feet. Are you wearing the correct pair for you? Here are some tips on how to find the perfect pair of running/walking shoes.

Bring what you’ve been wearing. The wear patterns on your old shoes can provide valuable insight into your biomechanics that can help identify the best new pair to meet your needs.

Don’t wait for wear out.

Get your feet measured.

Wear and tear can vary widely and the degradation of the cushioning is often not visible from the outside of the shoe. If the shoes start to feel flat, or you start to develop little aches and pains that aren’t related to increases in activity, you may want to consider replacing your shoes sooner.

It’s best to get your feet measured each time you buy new shoes. Fit specialists will analyze the shape of your foot, length, arch length, and width to determine the correct shoes.

See the experts. At a specialty running store like Fleet Feet Sports (in the Village at Meridian), you’ll find trained staff members that help everyone find the perfect fit. Shop a variety of brands like New Balance, Brooks, Saucony, Nike, and more.

A Word from Lt. Governor I travel across the state meeting Brad Little talking with people and visiting businesses, large and small. Some people want to talk about politics. Some want to talk about the state of the economy. Others want to talk about their businesses. The conversation can vary, but one topic invariably comes up: Idaho’s need for a talented and stronger workforce. This is something I am incredibly passionate about, not only as a state leader, but also as father and grandfather. We must create opportunities here in Idaho, and the best way to do that is to grow our skilled workforce and attract our children working out-of-state or living out of the country, to come home. As your Lieutenant Governor it is my duty to work on ways to help solve this issue, but I need your help as well. Our state is continuously seeing existing businesses expand and new businesses open.

With our unemployment at record lows or non-existent in some areas, we need a larger workforce that has a college degree or advanced training. We need help sharing the story of our great need and the variety of opportunity including our ever-growing technology sector, advanced food processing and manufacturing. We want you to encourage your children and grandchildren to move back to Idaho. We want them to advance their careers here, buy a home here and raise families here…in safe and successful communities and schools. And finally, before I conclude, if you have young children or grandchildren, please continue to instill in them the Idaho work ethic. It has always provided our state an edge on our national and international competition. We have a great product here in Idaho, so let’s grow together.

Even Mild Hearing Loss Mild hearing loss may be Can Change changing your brain. Your Brain New research from the University of Colorado shows that adults with hearing loss have decreased activation of the hearing portion of the brain compared with normal-hearing, age-matched adults. Adults with mild age-related hearing loss show brain changes in hearing portions of brain, which are being taken over by visual functions. This is not seen in age-matched adults with normal hearing.

This means that the auditory cortex (which is used for hearing and understanding sounds) is being hijacked by visual functions instead of hearing functions in people with hearing loss. In addition, changes to the frontal lobe (which is used for higher cognitive functions such as decision-making and thinking) are also being taken over by visual functions. This makes it harder to think and pay attention. It also may explain an increased risk of falling and higher incidence of cognitive decline, social withdrawal, and fa-

tigue among people with even mild hearing loss. The good news is that early research suggests that people who

are fit well with hearing aids show a reversal of these brain changes. According to the National Institutes on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, most people who have hearing loss don’t get the help they need. Early intervention matters, so ask your doctor to refer you to see an audiologist to have your hearing tested. Editor’s Note: The article was written by Erika Blanchard, MS, CCC-A, Audiology Program Manager for the Idaho Elks Hearing and Balance Center. See ad on page 49.

So You Want to Age in Place? Well you hear the term enough, whether on TV commercials, radio or in the back of every magazine, aging in place or similar themes are present in many forms. So maybe you are starting to ask what is this ‘thing’ called aging in place, does it apply to me and should I be thinking about it? We are all aging, you are probably reading this article in your home, so am I not already aging in place? Maybe this definition from the National Association of Home Builders will shed some light on the question. Aging in place means the ability to remain in one’s home safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level. It means the pleasure of living in a familiar environment throughout one’s maturing years, and the ability to enjoy the familiar daily rituals and the special events that enrich all our lives. It means the reassurance of being able to call a house a “home” for a lifetime. The answer is yes we are already aging in place and if asked want to continue to do so, so let’s pose a different question - How can we safely age in place? Can you relate to one of the groups below? Aging in place without urgent needs: those who want to stay in their current home, are not experiencing immediate health/mobility issues.

Aging in place with aging related needs: living independently, but daily tasks are becoming harder such as climbing stairs, getting the mail or bathing. Aging in place with progressive condition-based needs: those with chronic or progressive conditions that will require special modifications and care to remain in their current home. Aging in place with traumatic change needs: individuals who experience an abrupt or immediate change such as a fall or a stroke that demands immediate adjustments in the living environment.

3 4

Most reading this article can probably relate directly or indirectly to one of the groups above. Obviously you cannot foresee all circumstances going forward, but it surprising how few in group one start thinking about safety until a traumatic event occurs and how many in group two struggle daily using a loose towel bar, or shower handle to navigate in and out of the tub, it only takes a second to move to group 4. A little prevention can go a long way, minor home modifications can reduce the chance of falling, make daily tasks easier and safer, assist with care and rehabilitation and allow your home to adapt with you as your needs change. This will not only improve your overall quality of life, but that of those around you. Whether it is a safety bar, shower chair, anti-slip strips or handrail on the front steps,

Let’s Have Dinner and Talk About Death I recently went to a presentation in Boise titled “Let’s Have Dinner and Talk About Death” hosted by Regence Blue Shield and presented by Professor Hebb. He believes that the dinner table shapes our culture and can carry the weight of the “heaviest” conversations He also believes that breaking bread with others can spark social change. Professor Hebb had recently learned that 75% of Americans want to die at home but only 25% do. This bothered him. He came to the conclusion that “how we want to spend our final days is one of the most important conversations that American’s are not having.” After leaving Hebb’s presentation, I no longer believed the myth that American’s are too afraid to have these conversations. We are just having the wrong conversation. So, I hosted my first dinner. Friends, strangers, and collogues gathered together for dinner. Although, we all knew the topic; none of us knew exactly what to expect. Our

conversations had many twists and turns but it did not take long before people became vulnerable and shared their thoughts about deaths they had witnessed, fears of dying and grief over those they have lost. Everyone walked away with lessons learned and thoughts to contemplate. My husband shared this thought with me: “After the dinner, I thought about the conversation. I realized that HOW I die will have a big impact on those that I love. They will live with those memories. So, how I die is less about me and more about those who will still be alive after I am gone. So, I hope to die at home with my family surrounding me so my death will be a cherished memory for those that I love.” My hope is to be a part of a patient led revolution in our state. A revolution where ordinary people are talking to each other and where medical professionals are honoring their wishes. Together we can make a difference.

SOUTHWEST IDAHO ADVANCED CARE HOSPITAL

What Is a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH)? A Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) provides specialized medical, nursing and rehabilitation services for patients who need more advanced care for their recovery process, but who no longer require services at a traditional hospital. Patients typically have a chronic or medically complex medical condition that requires hospitalization for an average of 25 days or more in a facility that offers a 24/7 specialized treatment program. “Long term” often leads people to assume that it’s similar to a long-term facility (Nursing Home), but a more accurate description of an LTACH, would be a post-acute care hospital. The main difference between a traditional hospital and an LTACH is the length of stay. Traditional hospitals are focused on caring for a patient for an average of four to five days, where initial surgical interventions and diagnostic proce-dures are performed, while a long term acute care hospital typically cares for a patient an average of 25 days. The purpose of a LTACH is to provide critical care-level services but with a stronger recovery and rehabilitative focus permitted by the longer length of stay. Patients referred to an LTACH must meet an admission criteria designated by their insurer including Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurers. At an LTACH, patients can continue to receive intensive interventions, such as ventilator weaning, cardiac monitoring, aggressive wound management, antibiotic infusions, TPN, while being managed by a coordinated patient care team. Long term acute care hospitals offer specialized programs for patients who require ventilator-weaning, wound care, infectious disease management, or intensive management of medically complex conditions. Typical services include daily management and rounding by Hospitalists and/or Pulmonologists, telemetry, laboratory, pharmacy, radiology, respiratory therapy, rehabilitation, dialysis, and an intensive staff-to patient ratio. For those looking to understand what services and conditions may be available for treatment at an LTACH, the following are the most common: Ventilator-Weaning Respiratory Failure n Wounds n Medically Complex n Amputation n Cardiovascular Disease n COPD n CHF n Head Injury/Trauma n n

What is a LTACH? continued from page 56

Most common questions about LTACH Services: Is an LTACH like a nursing home? Not at all. Patients in a Long Term Acute Care Hospital are too medically complex for nursing homes to typically accept. LTACH’s provide daily physician management, 24 hour nursing care, pharmacy inhouse, radiology, dialysis, 24 hour respiratory therapy, and 6 day a week rehabilitation therapy. In

addition, admission to an LTACH avoids using precious skilled nursing facility days granted by Medicare. Is LTACH like hospice? Hospice care is primarily for those not expected to recover and have a terminal illness. In contrast, the Long Term Acute Care Hospital is for patients who can be treated, recover and then return home or to a lower level of care.

Medicare is a government-run health program available to most US citizens who attain the age of 65 or are on social security disability for a period of at least two years. Part A, in general, covers hospitalizations and nursing facility care. It normally has no cost. Part B covers many other medical services such as doctor office visits, out-patient procedures, durable medical equipment, preventative services and screenings, physical therapy and emergency room coverage. In 2016 the base rate is 121.80 per month for part B. Medigap Some individuals choose to stay on “Original Medicare” and add a Supplement or Medigap to fill in the holes Medicare left for them to pay. The most common supplement is called “Plan F”. This covers all costs left over by Medicare so the person ends up with no out of pocket medical expenses. Those who choose this coverage also need to purchase a stand-alone drug plan unless they have work coverage or

some government drug plan such as the VA. Advantage Plans Advantage Plans allow a private insurance company to take on the risk and administer the health benefits of a Medicare participant instead of the government. The insurance company receives a reimbursement from the government which funds the Medicare Advantage plan. Many Medicare Advantage plans offer prescription drug coverage. Advantage plans generally carry a low monthly premium, even $0. Advantage plans carry small, predictable co-pays such as $5-$35 for a doctor’s visit. Advantage plans also offer additional coverage that original Medicare and supplements may not. These may include a gym membership, limited dental and vision coverage, and podiatry services. Those who purchase an advantage plan do so to take advantage of the low monthly cost and predictable co-pays.

Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) Selling a seniors most valued and valuable asset, their home, and the subsequent move, often requires unique expertise on a number of different fronts. The first step is to ask the question, is moving the best alternative? If so, where? Have other options been explored? Most seniors would prefer to continue living in their own home, or aging in place but sometimes circumstances are such that other options much be considered. n

ome maintenance becomes a h burden a major life event forces considering a move a n aging parent wants to live closer to adult children or other caretakers nancial concerns make it difficult fi to keep the home s upport services are needed that are not available at home

Selling a senior’s home can be much more complicated due to these issues and sometimes the number of people involved. Whatever the reason, there may come a

time when parents, along with their adult children make the decision that selling is the right thing to do for their loved one. The financial, logistical and emotional issues involved in a move can be stressful for a family to navigate. Senior parents and their adult children may feel they are in unfamiliar territory as they deal with these questions. A Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) can help guide your family through the complex issues and unique situations you may encounter. This designation is only given to those Realtors who have been trained on how to help seniors. A real estate professional who has experience in senior’s issues, and who can put you in contact with other similar trained professional advisors, can be an invaluable resource at this time. You can count on a SRES to help guide you through the process and the special considerations, making the transaction less stressful and more successful. (From “Moving On” A Guide to Housing-Related Resources Tailored to Seniors and their Families).

Staying in our homes as we get older is the desire for most of us, but for many reasons circumstances change. Give me a call and I can help you navigate the maze of details and emotional issues involved in selling your home.

Understanding Rehabilitation in a After a brief stay in the hospital Transitional for illness, injury, or even surgery, people are often faced with Rehab Facility questions about what comes next. For example, if I can’t walk or dress myself, how am I supposed to go home? If I can’t go home, where should I go? Do I have to go to a nursing home? For those people who simply require a shortterm regimen of rehabilitation, a Transitional Rehab Facility may be the answer.

they’re not healthy enough to return home, but they’re not sick enough to remain in the hospital. They simply need a “tune-up” before they return to their lives. Under the supervision of a physician, Transitional Rehab Facilities provide not only skilled nursing care, but the necessary physical, occupational, speech, and in some cases, respiratory therapy that enable people to get stronger and

return to the lifestyle they enjoy. On average, people who require rehabilitation at a Transitional Rehab Facility stay there about three weeks. (Naturally, some people stay for a shorter period of time, and some people may need to stay longer.) The therapies are intense—six to seven days a week— but they are provided in a beautiful resort-like setting. Your exercise in physical and occupational therapy will be demanding, but you’ll feel like you’re at a luxurious getaway rather than in a hospital. Amenities like a private suite and 24-hour room service make the hard work in Transitional Rehab Facilities that much easier to tolerate. One thing is for sure: Transitional Rehab Facilities are NOT traditional nursing homes. They do NOT have

that kind of “institutional” environment, and nobody lives there as a long-term care resident. Instead, Transitional Rehab Facilities provide comprehensive therapies in beautiful surroundings, and they serve as a retreat for recovery until you’re strong enough to return home. Moreover, their services are covered by Medicare and some major insurance companies. If you find yourself in need of short-term rehabilitation services, ask your physician or healthcare provider if you qualify for a stay at a Transitional Rehab Facility.

tech-support scams, gold coin scams, oil and gas scams, sweepstakes and lottery scams, grandparent scams and many more. Although their methods are different, research shows that the tactics scammers use are the same. When authorities ask convicted con artists to describe the trick to scamming people out of money, they all say the same thing: “Get them under the ether.” The ether is a heightened emotional state that makes it hard to think clearly and make rational decisions. Con artists ask questions that trigger an emotional response. Once they find something you care about that triggers emotions, they will “throttle up” on that trigger and get you to focus on it until you are in a heightened emotional state and ready to open your wallet. Another tactic con artists use is making a personal connection with a potential victim. Scammers will develop a victim profile by asking a series of personal questions so they can find your emotional trigger. Once they wrap you in emotion that

blurs your logic, they’ve endeared you to them and you begin to trust them. Crooks also use a method they call “phantom riches” meaning something you want, but cannot have. The con artist will dangle that phantom in front of you in order to get your emotion up so you will make an impulsive decision. Researchers say this is the number one tactic found in undercover audiotapes of con pitches.

MULTICARE HOME HEALTH & PERSONAL CARE SERVICES

ultiCare is a local business, operated by a local family, caring for the people of this local community. Owners Robin and Mimi Wallis acquired the agency in 1999. Robin had retired in 1999 after working as a general manager for a fortune 500 company located here in the valley. After his retirement both Robin and Mimi were determined to use the rest of their working years to really make a difference, to help those in the community and in some way give back. When the opportunity to purchase MultiCare was presented, they knew running a home care business was a way to help folks, a way to give back and a great way to bless the lives of those in the Treasure Valley. While neither of them had previous experience in Health Care, they definitely had the heart! Almost 20 years later, MultiCare has grown to be one of the leading home health and personal care agencies in the area. With passionate, generous leaders like Robin and Mimi at the heart of the agency and a logo designed to put the heart of others in the hands of MultiCare, the staff is inspired daily to touch lives and be the difference for those they are honored to serve. Family values have always resonated in the hearts of this couple, and this is reflected in the way they manage their team and encourage the staff to maintain a healthy work/home harmony. Robin and Mimi continue to use their lives to bless others, as they had determined years ago, and they consistently operate with integrity and compassion, as they lead the MultiCare team in Caring From The Heart.

MULTICARE MISSION STATEMENT

MultiCare offers In Home Personal Care Services and Skilled Home Health Care. We work with Medicaid, Medicare, most insurance companies, as well as long term care insurance.

COVER STORY

COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

Vibra Hospital of Boise What makes an organization a great community partner? We at Vibra ask ourselves this question daily. We work to treat our patients as our partners and protect the trust that is given to us as health care professionals. We understand that service is the rent to be paid for being a part of the health care continuum in the Treasure Valley and work to ensure we are giving our very best to those who require our care. Vibra Hospital of Boise has a unique placement in the healthcare continuum. Vibra is a long term acute care facility that is able to care for the patients from the larger hospitals in our region and ensure those patients are placed in the most appropriate level of care following their stay. Getting our patients back to better is our focus and we do so with strong clinicians that know the value of up to date medicine as well as the touch of a healing hand and the spoken word. Vibra’s professional team works diligently with the community to ensure patients and families are given all the tools to make certain our patients continue in good health. Featured is one of our patients whose story is a true testament to appropriate continuum of care in our valley. On April 7th, 2016,

Yesenia Rodriguez started her day off at school as usual, but, by her 3rd period class she had an excruciating headache, so much so, that her good friend rushed her to the nurse’s office. It was not long after that she fell unconscious and was taken to one of our short term acute care hospitals for immediate surgery. This beautiful young 17 year old suffered a brain aneurysm and after 3 major surgeries was not given a positive prognosis. That is where her Vibra journey began. Yesenia came to Vibra on April 21st; she was on a vent and still in a coma. Her father, Juan, stated that their close knit family was in her room praying for her recovery when Yesenia opened her eyes for the first time. Since that moment, her recovery has been on an upward trajectory. From the caring and knowledgeable staff at Vibra, her incredible strength gained from her family and our strong community healthcare partners, Yesenia will be graduating from high school this year with her class! She has a goal of participating on the track team at Caldwell high and has aspirations of becoming a lawyer. Knowing Yesenia and her wonderful family, her dream will surely become reality! Editor’s Note: The article was submitted by Vibra Hospital of Boise. See ad on page 105.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Private Duty Home Care HOME CARE – We understand that budget is a primary consideration when you are making arrangements for home care, and it is our expectation that you will “shop around” to find the best provider at a manageable cost. As you do, please consider the following point in orders to ensure that you and your loved ones are protected and receive the best care possible.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK Before you make your first phone call, thoroughly consider what your care needs are. Make sure to paint a realistic picture of the patient’s needs so that the right caregiver match can be made: Do you need a companion, or someone who can provide handson care (i.e. assisting getting in/ out of bath, etc.)

Do you need assistance with cooking and light housework?

Do you need skilled medical assistance for things like blood pressure & blood sugar testing, medication administration, wound care or tube/drain/bag maintenance?

Do you need a caregiver who can drive you to social events appointments or?

Is a memory loss diagnosis (i.e. Alzheimer’s, dementia) a factor or is the patient becoming confused?

Do you need a caregiver trained in a specialization such as hospice care or mobility needs?

Do you need a caregiver that speaks a particular language or is versed in sign language?

INTERVIEW THE AGENCY In order to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential liability, be sure to ask about and consider the following when selecting a home care agency: What levels of care are available? Are you licensed for medical care or only companion care services?

Are your caregivers supervised by an RN? Who conducts the initial assessment before starting each case?

Are all caregivers employees that are licensed, bonded, and insured? What happens if a worker is injured in my home?

Do you take care of paying the taxes and withholdings for the caregiver?

If there is a personality conflict or other problem with a worker, can a change be made? How is this handled?

How much notice will you give me if a caregiver is leaving or will be unavailable for an extended period of time?

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

What are your rates? Is there a minimum # of hours that I have to commit to each day/week/month?

Remember that you are the customer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do not hesitate to express your needs and give feedback, especially if you are dissatisfied or worried. The matching of a caregiver to a patient is as much and art as a science, and clear, constructive feedback will help everyone settle in quickly.

What happens if a caregiver calls out sick or has an emergency? Will you send another caregiver of equal skill and experience?

Can I interview the caregiver(s) before I commit to using your agency? Do you check references, and can I get details of the caregivers experience and background? Can I get someone that has worked on similar cases / patients?

What happens in case of an emergency? Can your caregiver provide hands-on help (i.e. lifting, CPR, etc.) or do they need to wait for emergency services?

HELPFUL HINTS The following are a few suggestions on ways to make the process of obtaining quality home healthcare a little easier and eliminate the unwanted surprises: Before a new caregiver starts, write out a basic daily and weekly schedule for the patient. Be

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

sure to include a list of likes and dislikes with respect to both foods and activities. This will make the transition much easier and less stressful for the patient, and will allow the caregiver to get up to speed quickly.

A note on 24-hour care; Live-in caregivers are often more convenient and cost-effective than utilizing multiple workers in 12hour shifts. However, live-ins do require some time off and private space for meals, sleeping, and grooming, while 12-hour workers generally do not sleep while on duty. Therefore, if the patient requires lots of attention during the night, 12-hour shifts or an additional overnight caregiver may be the right solution. Live-in caregivers do need to sleep sometime in order to provide quality care!

HOSPICE CARE

Why Dying People Refuse Food Food equals love. Food is the way we give energy to our bodies and a means in which we use to keep our body moving and alive. As human beings we eat to live. So you can see why it is so hard to comprehend that when someone is dying they no longer have a desire to eat like they used to. We often believe if only we can get them to eat and drink they will feel more energy and get better. After all, this is exactly what they need. We often hear “You need to eat to get stronger!” In the case of dying person, this is not necessarily true. We have to change our perspective. When someone has a terminal illness we see a gradual decrease in eating habits. Nothing tastes good. Liquids begin to replace solid foods and protein is usually the first to go. Soft foods replace foods that are hard to chew and digest. Foods like pudding, apple sauce, mashed potatoes, and soups are the easiest to swallow. Eventually protein shakes, milk shakes and supplemental drinks in small amounts replace all foods. We teach our families and caregivers to allow the dying person to choose when and how much they want to eat. This is an important piece in empowering our loved ones to live the rest of their lives on their terms. Emotionally, this can be very difficult for the person caring for the dying. It is a good idea to talk with a professional about this. They can help guide you and explain where your

loved one is at in the dying process. They can help normalize this for you and help you to understand why they are not able to take in food or fluids as well as why it’s just not appealing to them anymore. As a person enters the final few weeks of life sometimes even the smell of food can make them nauseous. It requires more energy to digest the food than it gives. The body has reserves of strength and can go a long time without wanting or needing food. Insisting or even forcing a dying person to eat can cause nausea and vomiting, increased discomfort due to inability to digest the food, as well as coughing and even severe choking which can lead to pneumonia. In the end, your loved one will benefit from moist mouth swabs, ice chips, cool wet wash cloths, and Chap Stick to keep their mouth clean and free from cracking. Love is the best way to show a dying person you care. Hold their hand, keep them clean and cool. Talk with them. Have no regrets. Say all that is needed before they die. Take comfort in knowing that they are not hungry or thirsty. Give yourself permission to continue to enjoy food during this time. After all, you are living and you do require food to have energy to care for a dying person. Editor’s Note: Submitted by Kristi Hartway, Executive Director Harrison’s Hope Hospice, 208-947-6800.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team. 24/7 Admissions – Can a patient be admitted to the particular hospice agency 24/7? 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. 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. Each Hospice Agency will have a grief and bereavement support program. 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. Many Hospice agencies utilize Social Workers to help find resources for indigent families. Licensed Massage Therapy – Massage has become one of the fastest growing trends in therapy for hospice patients. Used as a method for relax-

ation 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; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients. 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 is not just a music performer, but actually trained in counseling and music. 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; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide this to their patients. 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.

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. For some patients, contact

with these gentle animals evokes memories of pets in their lives, past or present. 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, it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

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.

SeniorsBlueBook.com

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.

Home Health Care Definitions continued from page 129 WOUND CARE – Refers to services for providing diagnosis and treatment for ulcers, pressure sores and other wounds. Treatments may include but is not limited to irrigations, dressing, and wound vacs. Some agencies may employ specialty nurses to provide and instruct in care specifically for patients with more complicated wounds. natural, artificial, and mechanical airways. TRACH CARE – Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in

the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions. WOUND CARE – Refers to services for providing diagnosis and treatment for ulcers, pressure sores and other wounds. Treatments may include but is not limited to irrigations, dressing, and wound vacs.

Transition Tips for Family Members Transition can be especially hard for seniors. Not only are they nervous about something new but moving to a new environment can also make them feel like they are losing both their home and their sense of identity. Help your family and yourself by reviewing these ideas on how to simplify the transition process. Prior To Beginning Your Search n P lant the idea of moving early on. Take things slow and get your parent(s) accustomed to the idea. Remember, any kind of change can be horribly scary. n P romote open communication and positive dialog. Talk about how the move may promote more independence without the maintenance of a house. Also, talk about the opportunity for increased involvement in activities with other people. n M ost importantly, be prepared. Plan ahead. Don’t wait for a crisis to hit that forces you to rush the decision. While You Are Searching hoose a home that reflects and C meets the social physical needs of your family member. n L et your family member be involved with the process as much as possible. Avoid making them feel like they’ve lost control. The more input they have in the process, from the choice of the facility to the furniture arrangement, the more easily they will adjust to their new home. n

After You Have Made A Selection n Don’t rush the move. Reduce the tension by having the whole family come together and work through the downsizing process. Allow and encourage your parent to say goodbye to the old and have the whole family encourage them to look forward to the new. n Let the professionals who work in these communities assist you. They will help you with the transition process and they know how to deal with it. Have a member of the community establish a relationship with your parent by “dropping by for a visit”. Then take your parent to visit “that nice person” for a meal and or an activity when you are out and about. n Ease your parent into the move by going with them on an outing or activity hosted by the facility. Your presence may help soothe some of those “first time” insecurities. n make an effort to fine another resident to shares similar interests or backgrounds. Make an introduction, so that they know at least one person to chat with during meals or activities. n Place favorite treasures such as, furniture, pictures and mementos in the new environment to evoke a sense of home.

Choosing a senior living community is one of the most important decisions you can make.

communities per day. It is difficult to remember the unique qualities or concerns.

It’s important to take your time to find the right fit. To ensure you, or your loved one, will be happy and well cared for, you’ll want to be prepared for your visits. Here are a few things to keep in mind when touring communities.

4: Prepare Your Questions Entering the community - Do you like the neighborhood? Areas where seniors can walk and socialize? The walking tour - Is the community clean and comfortable? Does staff greet you warmly? Are they professional and friendly? Do residents seem happy and comfortable? Are hallways well lit, easy to navigate, with handrails and room for wheelchairs? Are emergency exits marked? Services - Dietary: Specific dietary needs or special requests? Activities: Schedule of recreational activities? Would your loved one would enjoy them? Care: Is a nurse available 24 hours a day?

1: Homework Go online to find assisted living options in your area. Visit the community’s website to review services and amenities. Look for feedback/reviews online. 2: Conversation Talk with your loved one about their preferences and needs - like dressing, bathing, activities, or taking medication. Learn the important things - socializing, food, activities, size of building. Ultimately, it’s the care provided. Have knowledge of finances, including income, assets and expenses. 3: Schedule Your Visit Do they have availability? If not, is there a wait list. Try to meet with residents or try a meal. Let the community know when you call to book the visit. Visit no more than two

When Is It Time? The birth of Assisted Living originated in the Nordic Countries of Europe when communities realized their population of seniors were being underserved. Assisted Living was created to help seniors age comfortably in one place. For all of us there comes a time in the life of any family when an older person becomes unsafe or unable to be left alone for extended periods of time in their home. There are many factors that determine when the decision needs to be made. Often times that ultimate decision is left longer than it should be. Families should recognize the definitive signs that people need to be aware of, such as: forgetfulness, weight loss, depression, loss of safety or social cues, or no longer addressing daily personal hygiene. Daily routines in Assisted Living look different for each senior depending on that senior’s desires and care needs. For example: healthy

meals, medication management, life-enriching activities, scheduled transportation and many other amenities are available. Care needs are different for each resident and should be tailored to their preferences. Choices should be paramount, as each senior celebrates their independence. The staff should be dedicated to serving each resident with compassion and understanding.

If any of the above signs raise awareness or concerns then here is your opportunity to begin the process of finding the right community for your loved one. The right Senior Community should reflect your loved one’s values, personality, wants and needs. It should also offer a philosophy of service that gives each senior the freedom to live each day in the way they desire.

Selecting Professional Help for Selecting professional help for a a Loved One with loved one with dementia is a weighty responsibility. With so many Dementia choices available, how does one begin to sort the options and make a good decision?

Understanding how a person living with dementia experiences the world and knowing the right questions to ask are key. The following may be helpful as you begin to consider your choices: People with dementia are easily over-stimulated. Too much noise, too many hallways, too many people and cluttered environments can be very frustrating for a person struggling to cognitively make sense of it all. When visiting a memory care community, consider where the secure doors are placed, where activities occur, how easy it is to find your way around, whether it feels crowded and how noisy the environment is. If secure doors open into an area where residents frequently spend time, watching people coming and going might cue them that it is time to leave. This, coupled with the noise and stimulation of people entering and exiting, is enough

to cause significant frustration for many people with dementia. Similarly, doing activities in an area with too many other things going on can over-stimulate residents. Having a separate area for activities away from other noise and stimulation is very helpful both in terms of making it easier for residents to concentrate and enjoy the activity and in giving them a place they can leave if they dislike the activity for some reason. When looking at memory care communities, the following questions are also helpful: How long has the administrator worked at the facility? How often is he or she in the building each week? How often is the facility nurse in the building and what kind of oversight does he or she provide? What is the ratio of caregivers to residents? How are meals, housekeeping, laundry and activities provided? What type of activities are offered to the residents and how often are they available?

accept Medicaid if paying privately is not an option? Under what conditions? While the foregoing is not an exhaustive list of things to consider, asking the questions and making careful observations will prompt the kind of discussion that will allow you to more fully understand how communities vary. There is no one-sizefits-all approach, so asking good questions will help you feel more confident that your decision is right for your loved one.

Is there a strong sense of routine to the environment every day or are the weekends significantly different? What conditions would prompt the facility to ask a resident to leave? Is the community staffed and appropriately trained to handle two-person and mechanical lift transfers, specialized diets, total incontinence and other late-stage dementia needs or would a resident have to move due to increased care needs? What interventions do the staff use to avoid unnecessary reliance on psychotropic medications? What systems are in place to prevent wandering away from the community? What does it cost to actually live in the facility (base rates may vary significantly from actual costs)? Does the facility

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES

Navigating the Search for Skilled Most people know what nursing Nursing Facilities is, but do you know what it means when nursing is “skilled?” Skilled nursing is defined as a type of care given by a clinical team of nurses and therapists who provide patients with a comprehensive plan to assist with day-to-day activities. These care centers, often called skilled nursing facilities, observe patients who are unable to engage in routine activities independently. Skilled nursing programs typically involve physical, occupational and speech therapies, and specialty services such as wound care.

to modify their menus for personal preferences, dietary restrictions and medical needs. Activity programs can help guests stay engaged and entertained. From board games to bake sales, book clubs and barbecues, skilled nursing centers find creative ways to lift the mood and keep patients happy during their stay. tate-of-the-art therapy programs S use innovative technology to help patients improve various areas of their health. 4-hour nursing provides the 2 clinical security patients and their families need around the clock. rivate rooms are available at P select facilities for patients who prefer privacy, while semi-private rooms can be convenient for those who are comfortable sharing the company of others.

Is the management and staff available? Your tour will likely be given by an admissions director or associate. Ask as many questions as necessary during your tour and take time to speak with other staff, including the housekeeping, dietary and the administration. This will help you gauge the friendliness and accessibility of the staff, pointing you to the facility that best suits your skilled nursing needs.

find the facility that fits the bill. n D oes it pass your five senses? For example, does your environment smell clean and pleasant? Does the food satisfy your taste? Is a well-maintained building, landscaping and décor in sight? Is the air conditioning and humidity comfortable and is everything you touch clean? Do you hear happy patients, guests, family members and staff? n I s it prestigious? Many facilities will claim to be the best. But it’s best to seek out care centers that proudly wear seals of approval in clinical excellence. For example, facilities accredited by the Joint Commission are ideal as they routinely embody rigorous, patient-centered standards set by the national, nonprofit healthcare organization.
