RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

Welcome to the Spring-Fall 2023 Seniors Blue Book for Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa. The past few years have reinforced the need to have accurate information, and that is exactly what we strive to bring our readers. That said, the one thing we can count on is change, so we encourage you to do your homework and research options.

As a tried and true ‘Authoritative Publication’ our entire mission is to provide our readership with everything they need to navigate the resources they need – and to provide resources they might not even realize exists. This guide is divided into three colored tabbed sections (Housing, Health at Home and Community Resources). Check out our Housing and Health at Home comparison grids which offers you

an array of pricing and amenity columns for easy shopping.

We have some fabulous educational articles written by local experts to help you better understand relevant topics. Please refer to the Table of Contents to see a full list of this edition’s educational articles.

As a full multimedia company, we are proud to have launched a whole new web experience at www.SeniorsBlueBook.com. Our all-new search engine will easily help you navigate resources, find }informative articles and videos, fill up your calendar with events and fun activities throughout the community, and you can even chat with one of our online resource specialists.

HOSPICE CARE

Embracing Authenticity How would it feel to walk through the world and be fully accepted for who you are? In all sectors of our work and lives we interact with others; connection is one of the greatest gifts of being human.

Within each interaction we can validate, learn and value one another. We can be intentional with the words we use and respond with empathy. The foundation of embracing an individual’s authenticity is love. From there it is helpful to understand the meaning of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Diversity empowers people by respecting and appreciating life experiences and beliefs. The way our differences add to perspectives, world views, and those we encounter throughout our journey in life.

Equity recognizes that we do not all start from the same place socially, economically, or physically. It acknowledges adjustments need to be made for imbalances.

Inclusion allows everyone to feel valued and respected as an individual. A space where different groups

and perspectives are integrated into an environment.

Infusing these values into hospice care allows others to be fully seen Y and accepted in their divine humanity as they complete the transition from this life. Authenticity should be the standard of care for those we serve and lead. You may be asking; how do I begin this practice?

It starts with being authentic about who you are.

When we are our true selves, we allow others to show up fully and thrive in their gifts and talents. When humans are honored and held with respect it is felt throughout an organization, a community and life.

As you walk through this world, my encouragement is that you greet each other from a place of love and acceptance. That you see the divine humanity in each individual and honor them. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Heather Holmes, Chief Product Officer with Endless Journey Hospice she can be reached at 402-208-4091 or by email at heather@endlessjourney. com.

It also is given when more help is needed to assist the individual and family in coping with the crisis.

PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness.

This service is not reimbursed by Medicare.

VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

RESIDENTIAL HOME – Assisted living homes are private residential homes that typically have a small number of residents who live together and receive care from live-in caretakers. Adult family

homes offer room and board for seniors who want a more private, home-like community. Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing are provided.

Amenities and nursing services vary greatly between homes. Ask about their services when you tour. They are also referred to as personal board and care homes. Most accept private pay; Medicaid in some instances.

RESPITE CARE / SHORT-TERM STAY – Otherwise known as a short-term stay. Any provider of IL, AL, ALZ or SNF care can elect to provide fully furnished accommodations to a person for a short period of time. Rates usually quoted on a daily basis and are typically inclusive of all services and amenities.

When It’s Time to Have the Difficult Conversation Parents often struggle to communicate with their children about a decision to consider a move to a senior living community.

Children of aging parents find themselves facing the challenge of talking to a loved one about one day moving from home to a community.

Talking with a parent can be a difficult conversation. Many people hear “retirement community” and think nursing home, even though that is not the senior living community of today.

Before broaching the subject of a move, write down concerns you have for your parents. For example, are they safe in their home environment or have they been making errors with their medications? Educate yourself on senior living options to get an idea of the best fit for your loved ones. The more you learn, the better prepared you will be for the conversation.

Create a few conversation starters that will help you ease into the discussion. Bringing up the subject of a retirement community can be the hardest part. Ask about their experiences and feelings about living at home. What are your worries about staying in your home? Do you feel safe and secure? Do you ever feel lonely or isolated? What would it feel like not to maintain your current home?

This is not a conversation to have over the phone. Choose a time and place that is relaxed and free from interruptions. Begin the conversation by asking a few questions and listen to the responses which will include their feelings, thoughts, concerns and fears. Be empathetic and caring.

Make sure to stress that the decision is their decision.

Making a move to a senior living community is one of the most difficult decisions seniors will ever make. With preparation and patience and having the difficult conversation, the next step might be planning a move to embark on the next chapter for a loved one! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ginger Apprich, Community Relations Director for Ovation.

How to Start a Heart-to-Heart Conversation About Are you concerned about your older adult parent in their current home Assisted Living environment? Their house may have served them well for years but now limits them. Exploring assisted living as an option may improve their quality of life and support their needs.

How do you start the heart-toheart about living options and support? “Find out what’s going on in their life and listen carefully,” says Amy Muller, Housing Advisor at Prairie Gate, a Presbyterian Homes & Services community. “It’s crucial to keep your parent in the ‘driver’s seat’ so that they are making the decisions about their life.”

Ask your parent what it takes to maintain their house. Find out how much space in the house they use, how well they navigate its interior or go in and out freely and safely.

Educate yourself and expand your parent’s understanding of assisted living so that assumptions about “the old folks’ home” don’t become obstacles. Far from being a nursing home, assisted living offers an apartment setting complemented by supportive services including housekeeping, meals and personal care.

Your parent may fear losing their independence if they leave their

home. “Assisted living residents make their own decisions and continue to lead their life the way they wish,” Amy assures. “Your parent will organize their own day with the freedom to come and go as they please.” she says.

Showing is better than telling. Touring an assisted living community give you and your parent a firsthand look. “The most successful moves are made by seniors, with the support of their grown children, who have planned, researched and seen the choices available and know what they want,” said Amy. Change is hard, so be prepared to provide emotional support to your parent and be patient. The goal is to help your parents adapt to their changing situation as they age and support the best possible quality of life in the best living environment for them today and for the future.~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Amy Muller, Housing Advisor for Prairie Gate.
