Welcome to the Summer 2022–Winter 2023 edition of the Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa Seniors Blue Book.
As we move towards the end of 2022, while we hope to be on the tail end of a pandemic, it is evident, the virus is not going away. We are now left to navigate a new normal and the Seniors Blue Book is here to help. For over 35 years, we have brought our readers accurate information to help the aging process, and this year is no different. Once again we have worked diligently to bring you the most up to date and accurate information. As a tried and true “authoritative publication” our entire mission is to provide our readers with everything needed to navigate not only aging, but the pandemic as well. With over 50 categories of community resources like Care Management and Elder Law, we are also happy to provide a complete listing of all home health and housing options, with comparison grids highlighting our partners. You can easily find resources based on our color-coded tabs. The blue section is community resources, the purple section contains home health and the green tabs are the pages where you will find our housing resources. Take a minute to familiarize yourself with the set up and then start exploring! We hope you will find what you are looking for- and possibly even some resources you might not even know exist. No matter what you are searching for, please do your research, call ahead to be sure they are reopened, look for customer reviews, and ask questions. I always like to point out the articles throughout the guide. Our partners take great pride in what they do and are happy to share their knowledge with our readers.
Please reach out to us with suggestions, comments or to ask further questions. We love to hear from you! Thanks again for picking up the Seniors Blue Book. Here’s to healthy aging!
DEAR VALUED READERS:
Check out our table of contents for those articles. Education is key and accurate information is invaluable when you need it. If you would like additional educational articles, head on over to our all-new website, seniorsbluebook.com. There you will find additional information about our partners in addition to an entire library of articles and videos to educate you and assist in your aging journey. Any questions? Just ask our “live chat” experts. We are here to help!
Enjoy and be well, Amy Wilkerson, Regional Director

Kids Need Hospice Too
Making a choice to transition to hospice is a big step for any family, but especially so for families with children who have life-threatening illnesses. It can be hard to imagine a child at the beginning of their life as being appropriate for hospice care. However, kids need hospice too. For some children, their complex medical diagnoses or chronic illness are such that cure focused treatments are no longer successful. When this happens, children deserve supportive care so they do not have to remain hospitalized. Currently, in the Omaha area there are minimal options for pediatric families. Because of this, Endless Journey has started a pediatric hospice program to support the youngest patients in ourWhencommunity.working with pediatric hospice patients, there is a need to provide support for multiple family members at once. The team provides direct medical care in the home for the patient, emotional support for the caregivers, and developmentally appropriate care for any siblings. This compassionate, family-centered care includes connecting families with community organizations to help provide meaningful experiences and facilitate memory making. At Endless Journey, the team knows that time is a resource we cannot create more of so we aim to make the most of each moment.
Pediatric hospice is unique in that families can receive hospice care while also still engaging in curative treatments; this is called concurrent care. Under the affordable care act (sec. 2302) in the state of Nebraska, children aged 19 years and younger are eligible to receive this concurrent care. Because of this, Endless Journey has fostered partnerships with the pediatric hospital systems in the area to ensure that our in-home hospice support is well coordinated with the in-clinic plans of the primary medical teams. Making the choice for hospice has historically had a connotation of “giving up,” but in practice, hospice is looking towards living well with the focus of what is most important to the family. ~

Are you concerned about your older adult parent in their current home 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 yourcrucialcommunity.HomesPresbyterian&Services“It’stokeepparentinthe ‘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.
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.

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.~
