maze of eldercare issues would benefit from the services of a Geriatric Care Manager (GCM).

“Geriatric Care Management is the professional assessment, planning, coordination, supervision and management of healthcare and quality-oflife services. It is a preventive and proactive approach to healthcare.”1 Unfortunately, because the value of Geriatric Care Management is not well understood, many seniors are not benefitting from the care services and resources available to them. A historic number of baby boomers are reaching the age of 65. This trend will continue through 2030 and on through 2050 for those reaching 85 and older (Figure 1). This change in demographics is emphasizing the need for compassionate and effective decision-making regarding complex senior issues. Also increasing is the need for senior care professionals, such as GCM’s, who can assist seniors and families in addressing these issues. Care decisions that seniors and their families face include caregiving options, housing options, home care services, wellness regimes, medical management, nutrition services, and legal and financial considerations. These decisions can be difficult and in the event of a crisis, overwhelming. A GCM utilizes their experience and knowledge to assist seniors, family members, and

caregivers through these complexities and decrease the stress that is common along this continuum of care. A few examples of situations in which GCM’s provide assistance are listed below: n You are alone or have family at a distance who are unable to assist you with finding and coordinating the care services, such as assistance with medication, bathing, meal-preparation, housekeeping and transportation, that you need in order to remain living at home. n You need assistance understanding Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran Benefits, Advance Directives, Powers of Attorney, various long-term care housing options and their related costs. n You are an adult child trying to meet the care needs of a parent who can no longer live independently due to dementia or illness, but are already overwhelmed yourself with “life situations.”

GCM’s have various backgrounds and experience in human services fields such as nursing, social worker, counselor, psychology, or gerontology. Some have a combination of skills and experiences, including finance, that make them suited to assisting seniors and their families. GCM’s are critical to and contribute significantly in addressing the growing need for senior care professionals “... Continued on page 25 Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

GCM services will allow greater numbers of older adults to age in place safely, improve their quality of life, and have the potential to decrease healthcare spending.”1 Benefits of GCM services are described and survey data results shared in Home Healthcare Nurse.1 Data from the surveys indicated that after obtaining the services of a GCM: n 1 00% of older adults with emergency department visits, hospitalizations and falls experienced a decrease in all of these areas n A majority of families reported improved medication compliance and enabled the senior’s ability to remain safely at home n 1 00% of respondents stated that they experienced a decrease in personal caregiver work, improved understanding of the senior’s illness and future needs and stated that they had received ongoing communication regarding the senior’s status n 9 6% said that they had an improved understanding of how to meet the senior’s needs and how

to access resources n

83% experienced saving in caregiving and medical costs

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Although GCM services are not normally covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurances, families have stated “it is well worth the money” because uncertainty and stress is greatly reduced, cost-effective services are appropriately identified the first-time and issues are resolved more quickly. It is our hope that you now better understand the value GCM’s provide to seniors and families and that you will call one if you are expecting or experiencing eldercare related issues. Most GCM’s happily provide an initial free phone consultation to explain how they can help and to provide an estimate of the cost.

Who Needs a Guardian? And what are the duties of a guardian? Guardianship is needed when a person is no longer able to handle their own affairs and can no longer make or communicate important decisions about their health, property and family. If this person has not already designated someone as their durable power of attorney for health care and/ or finances, then they will need a guardian. The role of a guardian, first and foremost, is to develop a plan to determine how to care for the needs and goals of a person called a “ward.” The guardian’s main objective is to make the same decision for the ward that they would make if they were capable of doing so on their own. If the ward is able to help in decision making then, “the least restrictive alternative” should be used. This approach helps the ward and the guardian come together to make decisions that allow for the most freedom. A guardian should always make sure a ward’s independence and dignity is taken under consideration when a decision is made. When making decisions, they must take into account: n

he persons ethnic, religious and T cultural values he persons wishes with geograT phy, supporters and spirituality

28 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

amily and friends opinions and F thoughts dvice from medical A professionals

Making decisions on behalf of another is only part of the guardian’s duties. Other duties and responsibilities are: n

nsure end-of-life provisions are E in place n

n n

omplete an C assessment and create a person centered treatment plan Create a HIPAA compliant case file that includes all of the persons advance directives

Review and evaluate service provider plans and their implementations. Ensuring that all orders are in place Visit the person at least monthly Set up an effective communication procedure with all parties assisting in cares Evaluate placement and options

Guardianship is the logical alternative when a person simply can’t make the decisions required for their health and well-being. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Lisa Page, owner of Castle Rock Services.

Inactivity Kills Physical inactivity is responsible for more than twice as many deaths as obesity.

n n n n

A recent study of both men and women over a 12 year period of time clearly determined that inactivity does indeed lead to an untimely death. Increasing your activity level to 20 minutes a day of brisk walking is enough to significantly reduce your risk of death. This was true in those who were obese and normal weight as indicated in the study. Other recent research indicates that sitting for more than two hours at a time can significantly lessen your life span. Even if you regularly exercise, sitting for more than two hours a day will still lower your life span. Frequent movement throughout the entire day is critical for your health. Research is clear on the topic of activity. We are designed to be mobile. Regular activity has been clearly shown to: n Reduce the risk of diabetes.

educe the risk of heart disease. R Prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Improve bone density. Increase and maintain muscle strength, which is strongly correlated to independence in your environment and reducing the risk of falling. n Improve and maintain balance, which is critical to reducing the risk of falling. n Maintain proper hormone levels. n Reduce stress. n Increase feelings of wellbeing. n Reduce pain levels.

This is not an exhaustive list of the benefits of regular activity. Exercise and regular activity are critical to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Frequent activity and movement throughout the day is best. Choose a form of activity and exercise that you enjoy and keep it as part of a lifelong pursuit.

Knowledge is power; learn what your community is doing to support healthy aging.

The Senior Falls Prevention Coalition of Clay and Platte Counties is making efforts to reduce the number of falls among the over 51,000 older adults in the Northland.

Through programs, awareness events, services, and education the Senior Falls Prevention Coalition of Clay and Platte Counties (SFPCCPC) works to address and reduce the number of injuries and deaths related to falls. Comprised of a number of agencies, businesses and individuals with a vested interest in preventing falls, the coalition has been in existence since 2009. For more information on services available to you please visit our website: www.seniorfallsprevention.org. Here you will learn about free programs, opportunities, and events that you may not otherwise know about.

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.

Journey Through Grief At some point in our life each of us will experience the loss of someone we love dearly. With loss comes grief. Although grief is a universal emotion it may be one of the most intimate and personal feelings we ever experience. Losing a loved one evokes anxiety and feelings of loneliness that we may have never known before. Even though we may be lucky to have family and friends to support us, we feel alone in our grief. There may be times when grief seems everlasting and the pain and discomfort feels like it will never dissipate. It is true that grief has its own life span, but there are identifiable stages of grief that can help individuals navigate through their journey. n Immediately following a loss you may feel numb. The responsibility of focusing on medical care for your loved one, making final arrangements and managing the paper work that comes after a death may sometimes shadow the reality of your loss. When all of the “housekeeping” is complete you may even experience a feeling of disconnection wondering if your loved one is really gone. n When the “realness” of the situation begins to seep through, an extreme sadness may overcome you. This stage is often the most difficult

40 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

and most frightening. It may also be the longest lasting stage. n Over time this sadness will decrease and you may feel a reluctant acceptance of your loved one’s death. As this acceptance takes hold you will realize that life does move forward and you can return to living even without him/her present each day. Life will be different, but you will experience joy again. Our society has made great strides in understanding end-of-life issues as they relate to the patient – we still have a long way to travel to understand the impact of loss on those who are left behind. Friends and family members may suggest you “move on” or “get over it”. Grief is not something you have control over. Sometimes the loneliness of grief causes us to forget that help is available. Supports groups and individual counseling are available. It is when you are experiencing your lowest moment, that reaching out is most important. With time and support you will be able to look forward to the future once again.

Long-Term Care Insurance: Whether you’ve had a long-term care How Does It Work? insurance (LTCI) policy for years or you’re thinking of buying one, it’s critical to understand exactly what set of conditions will trigger coverage. In addition, you should know how to file a claim, preferably before you’re on the verge of needing care.

What determines if you’re entitled to benefits? LTCI policies differ on how benefits are triggered, so it’s crucial to examine your individual policy. Here are some typical ways you can become eligible for benefits: n

ou’re unable to perform a cerY tain number of activities of daily living (ADLs) without assistance, such as eating, bathing, dressing, continence, toileting (moving on and off the toilet), and transferring (moving in and out of bed). Look in your policy to see what ADLs are included, the number you must be unable to perform, and how your policy defines “unable to perform” for each ADL, as criteria can vary from one company to another. our doctor has ordered specific Y care. our care is medically necessary.

disagreements about coverage. Who determines if you’re entitled to benefits? Just as important as what triggers benefits is the question of who decides if you’ve triggered them. These gatekeepers are an integral part of any LTCI policy--after all, they’re the ones whom insurance companies rely on before paying out claims. In some cases, a policy may have more than one gatekeeper. The best policies let you qualify for benefits if your own doctor orders specific care, rather than require that you be examined by an insurance company physician. Make sure you know who the ultimate decision maker is under your policy. When will benefits start? Most LTCI policies have a waiting period, commonly known as an elimination period, before you can start receiving benefits after you’re judged medically eligible. Common waiting periods are 20, 30, 60, 90, or 100 days. During any waiting period, you’re responsible for paying for your care, whether it’s in a nursing home, an assisted-living facility, or in your home. Generally speaking, the longer the waiting period, the less expensive the policy. Keep in mind that the calculation of the waiting period can vary from company to company. Some companies may count the days cumulatively, Continued on page 90

Inspiration and Community Inspiration and Community for for Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s Caregivers Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or Caregivers dementia can be one of the most challenging roles any of us will ever face.

Alzheimer’s can be a very long course of illness. It is the only one of the ten top causes of death in America with no treatment, prevention or cure. It robs the person living with the disease of their memories and basic social skills, which can leave the caregiver feeling isolated even from the person they care for daily. In addition, studies have shown that caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can impact the caregiver’s health and cognitive function. To help address the unique challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers, the nonprofit ClergyAgainstAlzheimer’s has produced a book of meditations, Seasons of Caring – available at www.seasonsofcaring. org where you can read excerpts of the book free of charge. Grouped by seasons of the year, the book’s interfaith meditations offer spiritual support and motivational insights to comfort and encourage caregivers. Edited by Dr. Daniel C. Potts, Seasons of Caring features watercolors by his father, Lester, who began painting after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Dr. Potts writes, “Alzheimer’s and other dementias are no respecters of persons. In this cold, dark reality, how do we share the warm hope of spring? We share our stories of having been there before, of having found

58 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

faith’s fire in our own cold reality.” Another resource is the USAgainstAlzheimer’s Facebook Caregivers’ Community for those with Alzheimer’s, their family members and friends. Members share information and questions about caregiving and Alzheimer’s/dementia, share family updates and the stresses of caregiving, and provide advice, understanding and comfort to others. The group’s moderators have each been Alzheimer’s caregivers and maintain a warm, safe and supportive environment, offering advice from their personal experiences. The closed community is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ usagainstalz/. Finally, please join USAgainst Alzheimer’s in demanding action to stop Alzheimer’s by going to www. usagainstalzheimers.org and adding your name. I hope these resources will bring you new insights, comfort, courage and inspiration. Caregivers— particularly for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia—inspire us all. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Virginia Biggar, Director of ClergyAgainstAlzheimer’s, a national network of clergy, laity and faith organizations working to focus our nation’s attention on Alzheimer’s and related dementias, to promote dignity and compassionate care for those with Alzheimer’s, and to support families and caregivers.

When Drugs Deplete Nutrients Medications can be life saving. But take heed: They can also rob your body of nutrients you need. Nutrient loss can happen in many ways. For example, a medication may: n

epress your appetite, which D means you may not eat enough to stay nourished. Increase your desire for less healthy foods, such as lots of sugar, bread, or pasta. Reduce absorption of certain nutrients in the “gut,” especially in seniors. Block a nutrient’s effects at the level of the cell. Increase loss of nutrients through your urinary system.1

Symptoms of nutrient loss may come on gradually and look a lot like symptoms of aging, disease, or changes in mood—so it’s easy to get caught off guard. For example, pain, numbness, or tingling in legs may be a vitamin B12 deficiency. Or a magnesium deficiency may cause muscle pain and stiffness. Over time, this deficiency may even contribute to bone disease (osteoporosis).2 Which drugs are the most common culprits? Here’s a brief summary for you. Acid blockers. If you have heartburn, reflux, or peptic ulcers, your doctor may prescribe an antacid, H2 blocker, or proton-pump inhibitor (PPI). Studies show these drugs may cause many nutrient deficiencies.

They can interfere with the breakdown of food or absorption of nutrients. You may lack B12, calcium, vitamin D, folic acid, chromium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. Antibiotics. These drugs are big robbers of a wide range of nutrients. They also kill “good” bacteria in your digestive system. For these reasons, it may be a good idea to take a B vitamin complex or a multivitamin that contains B vitamins—as well as magnesium, calcium, and potassium. You might also consider probiotics and vitamin K—normally made by those “friendly” bacteria. Anti-convulsants. Seizure medication can cause low levels of vitamin D. Anti-hypertensives. Diuretics are great at helping to prevent heart attacks in high-risk people. But they may deplete magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, pyridoxine, thiamine, and ascorbic acid. Beta blockers also are great at lowering blood pressure. However, they can deplete CoQ10. This can be very dangerous. The heart needs a rich supply of this nutrient for the energy “factories” of its cells. Cholesterol-lowering drugs. When it comes to high cholesterol, statins are practically a household name. That’s because doctors widely prescribe them. But statins also deplete CoQ10—which is serious. Hypoglycemics (oral). Drugs like metformin help make insulin work better in people with diabetes. But they can reduce levels of B12 by Continued on page 132

Preparing Your House for Sale If you are considering selling your when Downsizing house and downsizing, there are some items that you must know to ensure a more stress and hassle free sale.

In this article we will cover the initial preparation that you will want to consider. The first thing that should be done is to take a good look at your house. Not as the homeowner, but as the potential buyer that you want to attract. If you have lived in your house for more than 5 to 10 years and haven’t made updates, others will most likely see some dated aspects to your house. Most buyers have no imagination. If they walk into a house and don’t like it, they will go on to the next house. Most buyers just do not have the vision to see what can be done to update a house. Most buyers want to buy a house, move in, unpack, and live in the house. Period. A couple of basic items that can be done is to de-clutter and de-personalize your house. Getting rid of “stuff” that clutters the house will make the rooms seem larger. And it will make the eventual move easier when the time comes.

62 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

Basic updating. This would include items such as interior and exterior painting. New paint and floor coverings have the potential to give your house a much needed updated look. The key is to be neutral enough to attract the biggest potential buyer audience, but not too neutral to not be attractive. Although the most expensive rooms to update, the kitchen and bathrooms are the most important. Do the other homes for sale in your neighborhood have granite counters, updated cabinets, etc.? Does your home look New, or does it look dated compared to your competition? If a house is priced to reflect a “nice” updated house, it better be NICE. Otherwise the price of the house needs to reflect its current condition to give potential buyers a reason to be interested in it. For additional information, go to www.DownsizeMyHouseBook.com. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ben Souchek, the foremost authority on the realities of what to expect when selling a house with The Sierra Group. See ad page 63.

Breast Cancer Awareness How does awareness save lives? Saves Lives Knowledge is power. 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

78 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

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. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Mary Gardner, MPH, RN, grant recipient of Susan G.

Honor Flight KC - Donate, Help Us to Serve Our Veterans Sponsor, Volunteer Who Have Served Our Nation Honor Flights take heroes to see, first hand, the memorials that were built in their honor. These free flights leave for Washington DC and return to Kansas City, MO the same day.

Each veteran is assigned a companion to assist them on the tour. This tour is their “last hurrah” - the last time they will be recognized as the conquering victors that collectively and literally saved the world. To this day most of Europe is free, most of the Pacific is free and America is free. This freedom came at a very high cost. We can never repay them for what they’ve done. An “Honor Flight Tour” is simply a small token of our appreciation for everything they’ve done. Throughout their Honor Flight KC tour, the Veterans are thanked, recognized and admired 82 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

for their service. They come home personally knowing how much their country loves them and respects them. Veterans will never forget this gratitude and adoration. Please help us rewrite this final chapter of their lives. Our American Veterans deserve nothing less. Your donation will help transport veterans to

Washington, D.C. to visit THEIR memorials. Tours are simply not possible without public support. Call 913-683-1369 or go to www.HonorFlightKC.com to learn how to apply for a future flight. Call or visit the website to donate, sponsor or volunteer to Honor Flight KC.

this service is provided for five consecutive days. Care may be provided in a long-term care facility depending on the condition of the individual. Hospice is responsible for financial arrangements with the Long-term care facility, at no cost to the patient or the family. GIP – General In-Patient Care – Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

Continuous care also is given when more helps is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis.

Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

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 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

hospice 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?

Community and Senior Professional

Cora Webster is a Director of Market Development at VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care. In this role, she assists with the development and growth of VITAS’ Kansas City programs in Kansas and Missouri, and oversees VITAS’ efforts to educate the local community and create awareness about access to quality hospice care. Webster’s life-long passion for caring for the elderly and advocating for patient rights led her to a career in hospice where she helps empower seniors to understand their end-of-life care choices, which includes hospice. According to Webster, one of the key aspects that sets VITAS apart from other hospice providers in Kansas City is a 24-hour telephone service called “Telecare.” Operated by VITAS nurses, Telecare is available to patients and families who need immediate answers and help when hospice teams are not present. “With readmission prevention being such an important topic right now, it is important for seniors to be aware that VITAS has nurses that answer the phone in the middle of the night,” she said. “That helps our patients through periods of crises while our local nurses are dispatched and it’s been a successful intervention in preventing rehospitalizations. Seniors Blue Book has been instrumental in communicating our Telecare service to referral sources, community leaders and patients. I could not be more pleased with the reach that we are able to get using the Seniors Blue Book.” Webster, a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri in Columbia, and a Master of Business Administration from Avila University in Kansas City, MO.

HOSPICE CARE

When Your Doctor When you’re coping with serious Says ‘Hospice’ illness, quality of life tends to deteriorate as treatments and side effects escalate.

When your doctor says, “Hospice,” it’s because the care you’re getting is no longer the care you need. Hospice controls pain and manages symptoms. Hospice makes sure you are calm, comfortable and at home. Your hospice team will answer your questions or make a house call, any time, day or night. They want to know if you’re frightened in the middle of the night, or having difficulty breathing, or you’ve run out of your medicine. When you feel the need to go to the emergency room, they want to know that too. If your health declines and you need more or different care, hospice addresses those needs with gradual, non-crisis transitions. Instead of trauma in the middle of the night, there is time to talk with your team and your family, time to try treatments and make adjustments to assure that you are comfortable. Your doctor can help determine when hospice should be considered, but here are some symptoms to watch for: Repeat trips to the emergency room nU nrelieved pain n

Communicating With One By using the following techniques, Who Has from Naomi Feil’s Validation Method, you might be able to improve Memory Loss communication and reduce the frustration that both you and your loved with memory loss are experiencing.

Avoid using reality. Unless the person is in the very early stage of memory loss and wants to be reminded of a day, date or other reality based topics, it’s best to avoid orienting them to reality. Instead of trying to bring them to your reality, try to enter their reality. Even though the person with memory loss has poor short-term memory, they often retain memories from the past and might be reliving emotional experiences that happened long ago. 168 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

Center yourself. Whenever you start to get upset or frustrated, stop and take a few moments to take some deep centering breaths which helps you to quiet your own thoughts and find your inner strength. Centering clears the mind from distractions and helps one to be more calm, open, receptive and resourceful.

Use empathy. Using empathy means that we try to step into the world of another person in order continued from page 182

Communicating With One Who Has Memory Loss continued from page 168

to better understand their feelings and helps us tune into the emotions of the person with memory loss. If he or she appears to be sad, instead

of distracting them or ignoring their feelings, acknowledge their sadness with your words or expressions. Give the person your undivided attention, and they will feel respected and understood. Try not to interrupt or correct what they are saying.

182 KANSAS CITY METRO AREA – FALL 2015–WINTER 2016

Rephrase: Rephrasing with a similar emotional tone shows the person that you understand what he or she is saying. This shouldn’t simply be repeating verbatim what the person just said but could be paraphrasing their words while matching their emotion. Validating a person’s feelings helps them to express emotions and can sometimes even result in fewer stressful experiences. Even though people with Alzheimer’s disease and related forms of memory loss may not remember your name or everything you said, something inside them will know that they can trust you because you have listened with empathy. Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Rita Altman, Sunrise Senior Living.

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.
