DEAR VALUED READERS: Welcome to the Second Edition of the Seniors Blue Book for the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Brian and I are so pleased to share with you the ”New and Improved” Seniors Blue Book. Even though the Seniors Blue Book has changed its looks and improved its readability, you can still count on it being the most comprehensive and complete book of resources for seniors, their caregivers and the respected senior industry professionals of the region. We are fortunate to live in such a vibrant and supportive community as the Kansas City Metro Community. We were easily inspired to bring the best resource possible to help serve those we came to know and appreciate. Visit our newly redesigned website and database at www.SeniorsBlueBook. com. Our website now lists every licensed community and service in the country. We have worked diligently to get the most comprehensive updated resources and grids in an effort to help our seniors make educated decisions regarding living well. We have added

Help your Rheumatoid Arthritis RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) is an With Fish oil autoimmune disease, meaning that for unknown reasons the body’s immune system begins to attack and destroy its own tissues.

In RA, the most damage occurs to the cartilage in the joints, typically in identical joints on both sides of the body. These joints become red, hot and swollen, resulting in difficulty moving and severe pain. Other symptoms of RA can include nodules or lumps under the skin, 12 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – SpRINg–SuMMER 2015

inflammation of the eyes, and malaise. The disease typically manifests between the ages of 35 and 60, and is more common in women. Typical pharmaceutical treatments for RA consist of two different drug classes: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), designed to combat pain, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), many of them immune suppressors,

Some research suggests that fish oil becomes even more effective when taken as part of a diet that is low in omega-6s (vegetable oils) or when olive oil is also taken. Because severe joint damage occurs early in RA, and because no natural remedies have yet been proven to effectively slow the progression of the disease, it is important that RA patients continue to consult with qualified health professionals even if taking fish oil or other alternative treatments.

designed to slow the progression of the disease or even send it into remission. There is no known cure for RA, and both NSAIDs and DMARDs can carry side effects, particularly when used over the long term. For that reason, many RA patients turn to alternative remedies for help managing their symptoms. By far, the most well proven natural RA symptom treatment is fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids. At least 13 separate double-blind, placebo-controlled studies on more than 500 participants have shown that omega-3 supplements significantly reduce RA symptoms and actually enable patients to lower their NSAID usage.

Arthritis – the silent Why would we call arthritis the Disease silent disease? Most people don’t recognize the signs and symptoms of arthritis as they begin to get them. Arthritis is not an injury and does not happen overnight. Arthritis is actually part of the aging process, and while aging cannot be prevented, we can learn how to age gracefully. Based on 2010-2012 data from the National Health Interview survey an estimated 52.5 million, or 23% of adults, have been diagnosed with arthritis. Additionally, 23 million adults have some type of activity limitation. It’s projected that by 2030 more than 67 million adults will be diagnosed with arthritis. Of those, 25 million will have activity limitations. So, what can be done? Obesity is a known risk factor for the development and progression of osteoarthritis. Mechanically speaking, body weight is a 1:4 ratio. This means that one pound of added body weight translates into four pounds of pressure in the knees and hips. Simply losing 10 pounds can relieve 40 pounds of pressure in the lower extremities. Did you know that obese adults are up to four times more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis? Reduction

in body weight can be a significant healthy improvement in the lives of those with arthritis. Movement has been proven time and time again to benefit those with arthritis. Most people who have been diagnosed with arthritis report that they have no leisure time activities in their lives. That is considerably higher than those without arthritis. Those who suffer with arthritis also suffer from other diseases associated with inactivity, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and other limitations. Physical activity not only reduces the symptoms of arthritis, but lowers the risk of other conditions associated with low activity. Not surprisingly the CDC reports that arthritis is the number one disability in the United States. The most common reported disability is difficulty climbing a flight of stairs or walking three blocks. That means that 1 in 10 adults have trouble walking a distance comparable to walking from a parking lot to the back of a large store or strolling through the mall.

to be — I wonder if this affects my driving?” Or have you said to a family member, “I don’t think Dad should drive anymore. How do we discuss this with him?”

Questions about older drivers are becoming more frequent as the senior population in our area — and across the county — increases. And it’s an important conversation. We all have a desire to maintain our independence as we grow older. For most people — especially in the Kansas City region —independence is linked to the auto. Drivers who use smart self-management to review their driving skills can retain their independence longer, while limiting risks to themselves and others. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were approximately 33 million licensed drivers over the age of 65 in the United States in 2009. As the number of older drivers — as well as older passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists — in the Kansas City region increases significantly over the next two decades, transportation safety will be a growing concern.

Taking driver safety classes and improving the safety of their cars can help older drivers understand and adjust to their changing abilities and needs, and may help seniors continue to drive safely and maintain their sense of independence. Older drivers tend to be cautious drivers, but are more likely to be injured or killed in a car wreck. Fortunately, resources are available to help older adults reduce their risk of crashes. The KC Communities for All Ages website, www.kccommunitiesforallages.org, has an older driver safety section with resources for drivers, family members, caregivers, law enforcement and medical professionals. Finally, for older adults who no longer driver – or are considering transitioning from driving - LinkforCare (www.linkforcare.org) provides information about transportation service providers in the Greater Kansas City area.

Medicaid… Did You Know? Did you know the Medicaid Rules have dramatically changed? More than ever, you need to plan ahead to protect your assets from the increasing costs of long-term care. The Top 7 Mistakes People Make with Medicaid Qualification

Thinking it’s too late to plan. It’s almost never too late to take planning steps– even after a senior has moved to a nursing home.

Giving away assets too early. First, it’s your money (or your house, or both). Make sure you take care of yourself first. Don’t put your security at risk by putting it in the hands of your children without careful, intentional planning. Precipitous transfers can cause difficult tax and Medicaid problems as well.

Ignoring important safe harbors created by Congress.

Certain transfers are allowable without jeopardizing Medicaid eligibility. These include: transfers to disabled children, and caretaker children who have lived in the home of parent(s) for at least 2 years. (Note: Both of these exceptions require strict evidence when filing a Medicaid application.)

Failing to take advantage of protections for the spouse of a nursing home resident. These protections include the purchase of a Medicaid qualified immediate annuity, updating a motor vehicle, replacing worn-out personal property, and purchasing of burial plans.

So have you heard the term “elder mediation” lately? You might be asking yourself “what’s that all about?” Elder mediation is a term used to describe the process of resolving family conflict when an elder is involved. Mom or Dad, Grandma or Grandpa might be thinking “I should really have the talk about getting older with my family.” “Whoa, wait a minute; do I really want to do that?” “Oh no, we can’t do that, so and so isn’t speaking to so and so, and then there’s the other so and so who refuses to be here if another so and so is here”. Followed closely by thoughts of “Why try?” “We can’t talk”. “I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it”, “They never listen to me anyway.” As an elder mediator, a registered nurse, and one who’s been there, here’s my take on the matter; family units are layered with emotion from day one. Families have relationships and relationships can be difficult for years. Add to that the idea that one’s parent might change in any way, and you have a situation loaded with emotional triggers. Unfortunately, this is one arena where silence is NOT golden, but neither is disrespectful shouting.

Many elders want and need family help making decisions and plans for their future. They are often concerned with being a burden, having wise financial counsel, being alone, and a sense of being useful. Sometimes they just want to hear that they were an ok parent, or that the past is the past. Whatever it is, many elders want to discuss it peacefully, together as a family (however short that may be). Quality Elder Mediation embraces structured and safe “family talks” facilitated by elder mediators. Everyone is shown respect, and compassion for their concerns. The result is more listening and less fighting. However, in the end, the elder is the center of every conversation, every decision and all roads lead to them. In this way, we hear their voice and we show consideration for the best interest of the elder. Mediators work with resource specialists and professionals to offer options that address the needs and wants of the elder. In addition it often helps to begin the process of family healing. What parent wouldn’t love that?

A simple fall can change your life. Just ask any of the thousands of older men and women who fall each year and break/fracture a bone. Getting older can bring about lots of changes. Sight, hearing, muscle strength, coordination and reflexes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what they once were. Balance can be affected by diabetes and heart disease, or by problems with your circulation, thyroid or nervous system. Some medicines can cause dizziness. Any of these things can make a fall more likely to happen.

What You can Do to Many falls can be prevented. By Prevent Falls making some changes, you can lower your chances of falling: Four Things yOu Can do to Prevent Falls

Begin a Regular Exercise Program Exercise is one of the most important ways to lower your chances of falling. It makes you stronger and helps you feel better. Exercises that improve balance and coordination (like Tai Chi) are the most helpful. Lack of exercise leads to weakness and increases your chances of falling. Ask your doctor or health care provider about the best type of exercise program for you. Have your health care provider review your medicines Have your doctor or pharmacist review all the medicines you take, even over–the– counter medicines. As you get older, the way medicines work in your body can change. Some medicines, or combinations of medicines, can make you sleepy or dizzy and can cause you to fall. Have your vision checked Have your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. You may be wearing the wrong glasses or have a condition like glaucoma or cataracts that limits your vision. Poor vision can increase your chances of falling.

make your home safer About half of all falls happen at home. To make your home safer: ■ Remove things you can trip over (like papers, books, clothes, and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk. ■ Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping. ■ Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool. ■ Have grab bars put in next to your toilet and in the tub or shower. ■ Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors. ■ Improve the lighting in your home. As you get older, you need brighter lights to see well. Hang light-weight curtains or shades to reduce glare. ■ Have handrails and lights put in on all staircases. ■ Wear shoes both inside and outside the house. Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers. Contact your local senior center for information on exercise, fall prevention programs, or options for improving home safety.

Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional Medicare supplement also known as a "Medigap Plan." Medicare Part A HOSPITAL INSURANCE

Medicare Part B MEDICAL INSURANCE

Supplemental Policy Plans A - N MEDIGAP

Generally no cost

For most people the monthly cost is: $104.90.

Premium varies by company, State, & other factors.

$147 annual deductible.

These plans generally pay the A & B deductibles and other eligible costs that are not paid by Medicare.

Program has a $1,260 deductible per benefit period.

80/20 after deductible.

It is possible to pay $1,260 several times a year. Plan covers: inpatient hospital care, home health care services, hospice inpatient skilled nursing & more. Providers are paid by Medicare assignment. No out-of-pocket maximum. Limited coverage outside the USA. Many people choose to add a Medigap or Advantage Plan.

Plan covers: health care providers, ambulance, emergency department, outpatient surgical services, & more. Strong preventive care benefits. Many Doctors accept Medicare patients. No out-of-pocket maximum. Many people add a Medigap plan, Part D or an Advantage Plan to fill the "gaps" in the coverage.

When this plan coordinates with Medicare many benefits are covered 100%. These plans coordinate with any hospital or provider that accepts Medicare. Plans are available though insurance companies. People can add a Part D plan to cover prescription drugs. Must have Part A & B to enroll.

Deductable (Phase I) $0 -$320 deductible Inital Coverage (Phase II) co-pay coverage until the total cost of the drugs = $2,960 Coverage Gap (Phase III) The member now pays almost all costs: 65% coinsurance or co-pay for covered generic drugs. 45% coinsurance for covered brand name drugs. You stay here until member has paid $4,700 Catastrophic Coverage (Phase IV) Then for the rest of the calendar year covered drugs are: $2.65 / $6.60 or 5% depending on drug tier. Many Part C plans include Part D drug benefits. Part D can be separate with medigap & PFFS plans. There is a penalty for late enrollnet into Part D. Must have Part A or B to enroll

The more you know about breast cancer, the more prepared you are to take the steps necessary to reduce your risk of developing the disease, to identify the risk factors which put you at a higher risk, to commit to a regular breast cancer screening schedule, to consult with your health care provider when a concern arises, and to educate others about the importance of regular screening. Anyone can get breast cancer, even those with no family history of the disease. Breast cancer typically occurs in women; however it does occur in men. Men are usually diagnosed at a later stage in the disease process because they often do not receive screenings or perform self-exams. In 2009 it is estimated that there will be 192,370 new cases of breast cancer among women as well as 40,170 deaths and 1,910 new cases among men with over 400 deaths. Changes in breast tissue occur throughout the life cycle. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the breast tissue when cells divide and grow in an unusual manner. Most breast tumors grow slowly; the cancer may have been growing for years

before detection. The precise cause of breast cancer is unknown. Certain factors increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Getting older and being female are two factors that increase the risk. Knowing all the risk factors empowers you to make changes to reduce your risk. Earlier detection of breast cancer and earlier treatment once a diagnosis is confirmed saves lives. There are over 2,000,000 breast cancer survivors worldwide. Along with a decline in breast cancer mortality in recent years, there has also been a decline in breast cancer screening rates. Data from recent scientific studies has clearly demonstrated that women aged 50 and older who had regular mammography had a significantly lower risk of dying from breast cancer than their peers who did not. Screening mammography and a clinical breast examination are recommended and should be included as part of any woman’s annual health follow-up after age 40. Eighty-five to ninety percent of breast cancer in women over age 50 can be found with mammography.

advocacy for individuals who live in long term care facilities and assisted living facilities and who may feel powerless and vulnerable. The Ombudsman develops a relationship with individuals who live and work in the facility, they have an understanding of the regulations regarding long term care and work with all parties to resolve issues and improve the quality of life for all residents. The Long Term Care Ombudsman helps residents or their family members navigate long term care issues that sometimes arise in institutional health care and supportive living environments. The Ombudsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary role is to help residents help themselves. Whenever possible, the Ombudsman assists the resident in developing specific strategies to address problems. These strategies may include mediating or negotiating with the facility staff, working with the resident council, getting a group of residents with similar concerns together to work on a problem, or filing a complaint on behalf of a resident. There may also be times that the Ombudsman, at the request of the resident will speak on behalf of the resident or family. This usually occurs when family or legal issues arise, or when there is fear of causing tension in resident-staff

relationships. It may also occur when a resident is unable to communicate their wishes. Many residents are unaware of their rights or the facility regulations and rules. Factors such as isolation, a feeling of powerlessness and resistance to change make it difficult for some residents to resolve problems without assistance. Because of physical or mental limitations, many residents are unable to work through the complexities of a problem solving process, or the process may just seem overwhelming.

What Is An The Long Term Care Ombudsman Ombudsman? Program was created to provide

The Ombudsman may also connect the resident to community resources for additional support with social, legal, financial, recreational, personal, intellectual and spiritual needs. Working for legislative and regulatory change is another critical role of the Long Term Care Ombudsman. All nursing homes and licensed assisted living facilities are required to post the contact information for the Long Term Care Ombudsman in a prominent place. If you have loved ones in a facility or are contemplating a move contact your local Ombudsman. We are here to help find the best facility for your needs and lifestyle.

COMMuNITY RESOuRCES AND SERVICES

Respite care: support for There are many resources available Family caregivers to you. In the interest of your overall health — and that of your family and the person you are caring for — don’t approach caregiving responsibilities as if you are alone. Despite its rewards, serving as a senior’s primary caregiver can be demanding and stressful. Many others are in the same situation. An estimated 44 million Americans — accounting for 21 percent of all U.S. households — regularly care for an elderly relative or friend. Family and friends provide an estimated 80 percent of senior care. There are many resources available to you. In the interest of your overall health — and that of your family and the person you are caring for — don’t approach caregiving responsibilities as if you are alone. Respite Care: Relief for the Family No matter how much you love the person you are caring for, you need regular breaks from caregiving. Nonstop caregiving will drain your energy and take a toll on your physical, mental and emotional health. If you will not do it for yourself, please consider that respite care also benefits the person you are caring for. After a break, you will return refreshed and more effective.

92 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – SpRINg–SuMMER 2015

A respite could be just a day away with friends, an afternoon of personal errands or an exercise break. Or it could be a vacation away from it all. You can find relief from numerous sources: ■ Relatives and friends who can step in as needed ■ Professional in-home senior care providers ■ Churches and other volunteer organizations ■ Adult day care centers ■ Senior centers and the local Area Agencies on Aging ■ The Department of Health and Human Services Eldercare Locator Often, family and friends want to help. They just do not know how. As a caregiver, you can make it easy on them — and yourself — by always having a list of assignments ready, like preparing meals, picking up a few things at the grocery, going on a walk with the senior or staying with them from time-to-time.

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 relaxation to alleviate stress, anxiety and pain with a light handson approach, as well as providing an alternative to those who can’t take medication or prefer not to, massage therapy has become essential in hos-

pice care. This is not reimbursed by Medicare; it is an added benefit that select hospice companies have decided to provide for their patients.

HOSPICE CARE

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.

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

Northcare Hospice House – An Affiliate of North Kansas City Hospital

orthCare Hospice house is a 16 bed state of the art facility for terminally ill patients needing short term care. For some patients with life limiting illnesses, care needs may become complicated. At NorthCare Hospice, we specialize in short term solutions for medical problems that are too serious or complex to be managed at home. We can provide 24 hours a day in a warm, homelike setting. Some of our patients spend their remaining days at NorthCare Hospice House and others return home after their conditions are stabilized. At NorthCare a team of professionals provides specialized care for patients. The team includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, nurse’s personal care aides or hospice techs, social workers, chaplains, volunteers, massage, and pet therapists. Medical direction of the Hospice House is coordinated by physicians who are board certified in hospice and palliative care medicine. The team gives emotional and spiritual support for families and relieves the family from the stress of care giving when serious medical problems arise. Families can rely on experts to provide care, so they can focus on their loved one. NorthCare Hospice is located at the North Kansas City Hospital and is an affiliate of the hospital. It is designed for the comfort of patients, families, and visiting friends. We feature private rooms with large windows and a view of the outdoors. There is a family kitchen, laundry, spiritual center, and library with a computer station along with comfortable sitting areas and a children’s play area. The facility is wrapped around an interior garden and has additional green space with a walking path, benches, and pergolas. Our facility is open 24 hours a day. NorthCare Hospice is not an alternative to a long term care facility. Instead it is intended for management of patients that cannot be cared for wherever they call home. If a patient needs continuous pain medication or specialty treatments that cannot be taken care of at home then the hospice house is an option. For more information call NorthCare Hospice at 816-691-5119.

HOSpICE CARE

Medicare & the Hospice is covered by Medicare, Cost of Hospice Medicaid/Medi-Cal and most private insurance.

Medicare’s hospice benefit was designed to help terminally ill patients with the often significant expenses incurred at the end of life, including prescription and over-thecounter drugs, medical equipment and supplies, hospital copayments and grief support for the family. For Medicare hospice coverage, a patient must: n n

Be eligible for Medicare Part A Consent to hospice care and agree that he/she wishes to receive “palliative, not curative care” Be certified by his/her physician and the hospice medical director as having a “medical prognosis that his/her life expectancy is six months or less if the illness runs its normal course” Continue to have a six-monthsor-less prognosis, although some individual patients may receive hospice services for longer than six months as long as they continue to have a limited life expectancy throughout that time

Hospice patients who meet those qualifications will have their hospice care covered by Medicare. For care unrelated to a patient’s terminal illness, Medicare and Medicaid continue to provide their usual 120 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – SpRING–SUMMER 2015

benefits. Private insurance companies have their own policies regarding hospice coverage. Contact the patient’s insurer to ask about coverage provided. What does hospice cost? Hospices are paid a daily per-diem rate for their services in one of four levels of care: 1. Routine home care 2. Continuous care (Intensive Comfort Care®) 3. Inpatient care 4. Respite care Out of this basic per-diem rate, the hospice is responsible for all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, medical equipment and supplies, labs and other tests related to comfort and management of the terminal illness, as designated by the hospice team. In addition, patients receive regular visits from nurses, hospice aides, chaplains, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, counselors, volunteers and physician services, as needed. Organized bereavement services are often provided to surviving loved ones for at least one year after the patient’s death, again at no cost to the patient’s family.

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.

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

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

D CYPRESS SPRINGS

Dot – Resident of Cypress Springs

ot was born was born June 17th on a farm in Bondurant, Iowa. She had what she would consider a normal childhood growing up in Bondurant. Dot’s grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Ireland. It was her Irish heritage that taught her the value of hard work. She grew up with two brothers and one sister. One of her childhood memories was hearing her father use dynamite to clear out the creek just below the house where they lived. After high school Dot worked at a meat packing plant. John, Dot’s husband, first noticed her working at the meat packing plant. John told his buddies he had his eye on that red-headed Irish girl and that someday he was going to marry her. It wasn’t until a town hall dance that Dot and John formally met. Two months later they were married. Dot and John were blessed with six children, thirteen grandchildren, three greatgrandchildren and foster children, to boot. They were happily married for 43 years. Dot also worked at a garment factory that made clothing for Sears. Her hobbies included

170 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – Spring–Summer 2015

dancing, baking and playing cards. She would bake around thirty pies a month and give them to neighbors, friends and family. Cypress Spring’s staff knows Dot’s life story, they know her likes, dislikes and cherished memories. By adding details and preferences from Dot’s life story into her life each day the staff builds comfort and a sense of meaning for Dot. The result is a familiar atmosphere for Dot and all the residents of Cypress Springs. Cypress Spring’s philosophy of care is focused on the knowledge that to provide the care and support our residents need, we must know and understand dementia and the ever changing impact it has on their ability to understand their world. We must also know each resident’s unique life story in order to create moments that are meaningful to them personally. We strive to provide a warm, caring and supportive environment where our residents can experience daily routines and familiar faces. As partners in care we will work together to build a plan that supports their independence and provides them with the sense of belonging that is so important to all of us.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

The fact is; Dementia is the name that refers to all types of memory loss diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. In other words, Alzheimer’s disease is a type of Dementia, the same as Vascular Dementia, Picks disease, Alcohol dementia, Lewy Body Disease, and the many other diseases that cause memory loss. Long ago, before these types of dementias had a name, it wasn’t uncommon to hear families talk about their “senile old grandma” who just got crazy when she got old. Grandma probably suffered from one of these diseases and went undiagnosed and untreated. Fortunately, people started understanding the need for specialized care. Both Assisted Living and Memory Care communities started coming around. Families are usually distressed and at wits end by the time they realize there is help out there. Many people have a hard time moving a parent or loved one into a community. They feel an overwhelming amount of guilt. But families are usually surprised and relieved when they see their loved ones doing well in an environment that is tailored to their needs. It’s usually not long before grandma is engaging in activities, both group and individual. She’s eating nutritious meals, having personal care done by caregivers that specialize in dementia. These diseases don’t reverse, so grandma will continue with this journey, but she will be in good hands and take each

day as it comes. Often the families or caregivers say they wish they had done this sooner, but they had no idea that there were places available where grandma could still have a quality life. Here are some common tips when looking into getting help. n

n n

irst understand that the people F caring for the person with dementia need help, guidance and reassurance as well. When visiting communities, look for happy employees that are engaged with the residents. Ensure the community is secure with outdoor spaces that allow residents to wander safely. Does it have the look and feel of a home? Are there odors? A “Steinberg” study shows that smaller homes, or “clusters” are the most desirable environment. Avoiding too much stimulation or confusion. And finally; does it feel good; is it right for you and your family?
