I Love Someone With Dementia, So Why Am If you have, or suspect you have I Losing MY Mind? a loved one with dementia, you probably know the feeling. You feel like you are losing your mind, or certainly your peace of mind. I want to affirm those feelings, as well as validate those who have suspicions about a loved one that may have dementia. You’re not judging someone if you suspect they have dementia or any other recognized condition or inability that is beginning to take its toll on you, or certainly them. You’re actually taking the first step in helping them and the whole family. My own mother has had dementia for over 11 years. It’s hard to say exactly when it started. But it certainly became noticeable when my dad passed away 11 years ago. Given that he was suffering from cancer, the focus at the time was understandably on him. But once he passed, it was clear that my mom had classic signs of dementia. The only problem was, neither me nor my siblings saw it clearly before my dad’s passing. Like most siblings, we had our own things to deal with. I was living in another state. And my older siblings in Nebraska had NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

their own set of issues with which they were dealing. I wish we had known and acted sooner. I joined Oasis Senior Advisors as a result of having placed my own mother in a memory care community through Oasis in Lincoln, Nebraska. I don’t know what our family would have done had it not been for the reassuring guidance and counsel of Beth Friesen, our Oasis Senior Advisor. Beth has since written a great practical guide that I’d like to offer free and without obligation to anyone who is dealing with loved ones with dementia. Just send me an email. If you’re dealing with a loved one with dementia or any condition that is taking a toll on you, I encourage you to reach out for support and guidance to a certified senior advisor. Don’t walk this journey alone. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Randy Bulow, CSA, the owner of Oasis Senior Advisors, North Metro Denver.

Elder Refugee Program When working-age refugees come to the United States, they often bring their families — including older adult relatives. The Elder Refugee Program helps older adult immigrants discover resources, make social connections, meet other newcomers to the U.S., stay healthy and active, explore the Denver region’s arts and culture and feel welcome in the community. The Elder Refugee Program is funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement and provided by the Area Agency on Aging. Multiple language services are available. For more information call 303-480-6700.

Ombudsmen If you live in a long-term care setting, there might be a time where you need someone who can help you understand your rights. An ombudsman advocates for the rights of residents in assisted living and nursing homes. Ombudsmen work with residents to make sure they receive the care they want and need. They help residents maintain their quality of life and receive quality care in all licensed long-term care settings. DRCOG also houses the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) Ombudsman. PACE ombudsmen are advocates for participants in programs outside of long-term care facilities. They help participants resolve issues related to care, health, safety or the participant’s rights. For more information call 303-480-6734.

If the power to make decisions is ever not your own, ensure you have nominated the right people through Powers of Attorney, making them legally responsible for acting on your behalf. Otherwise, court proceedings determine who makes decisions for you. Understanding how the process works and your rights and responsibilities is critical.

The proceedings are public and can take 8 to 12 months or more, even in the simplest of cases. Trust planning can help avoid probate, simplifying the process for your loved ones. ~

Create an Accessible Living Space Without Sacrificing Style Wheelchair users know how important it is to have a home that is easy to access: however, sometimes the design plans or upgrades are a bit lacking when it comes to aesthetic appeal. While functionality, accessibility and safety should be your main concerns in your home, don’t assume that you’ll need to fall short on showcasing a little of your own style. Your home can reflect your personality and all the things you enjoy while still being functional. From vintage farmhouses to the famous American Craftsman home,

there are a lot of charming features that have lasted throughout the decades, but the homes themselves are not particularly accessible for wheelchair users. These styles of homes typically have narrow doorways, narrow and winding staircases, and many built-ins that may be out of reach or difficult to use. Remember to weigh the cost of alternative care versus the cost of making your home environment more accessible through modification. Home modifications and accessibility equipment like stair

Which Medicare Health Plan Finding a Medicare health plan that Is Right For You? supports your health, lifestyle, and budget is important. Consider your care needs and what your life may be like after you turn 65.

The first step in choosing the right coverage is understanding the four parts of Medicare – Parts A, B, C, and D. Each part covers specific services, from medical care to prescription drugs. n

T ogether, Part A and Part B are called Original Medicare and are provided by the federal government. It covers about 80% of hospital and medical expenses and doesn’t include prescription drug coverage. Part C — known as Medicare Advantage — is another way to get Part A and B coverage. You can get these plans from private health care providers. P art D is prescription drug coverage that can be added to Original Medicare.

Next, pick Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan that best suits your needs. With Medicare Advantage plans, you’ll get other benefits, like affordable prescription drug coverage, dental and vision. These plans also have predictable costs with set copays, which can make it easier to plan your expenses. Other important aspects of a good Medicare health plan are affordabil52 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

ity, convenience, and quality care. Another consideration that adds to a better patient experience is integrated care. Integrated care links all aspects of patient care together in an electronic medical record system. You can receive updates from doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and many specialists, all connected in one place. This enables your clinical care team to develop a personalized care plan. Lab results and doctor’s notes are available with 24/7 access to your health record. To compare Medicare Advantage plans based on quality and service, use the star quality ratings given each year by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Medicare health plans are rated in five categories: preventive care, chronic care, prescription drugs, customer service, and member satisfaction. A 5-star rating is excellent. When choosing a Medicare health plan, finding one that offers convenience, quality, service, access, and an integrated care experience, will give you peace of mind. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Matt Engstrom, MBA, Kaiser Permanente Medicare Sales Leader.

What’s Right For Me? Hospital stays, planned or unplanned, are never a first choice for a vacation. Despite our desire to be relaxing on a beach or enjoying the mountains, you or someone you love will unfortunately end up spending time in a hospital. Once stable, hospital patients frequently say the same thing, “I just want to go home.” When you are in a hospital, your road home may be direct or it may include a short detour to a shortterm rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility. Safety and function are two key points to consider when choosing the best road home. Acute hospitals have the staff, equipment and expertise to care for unstable patients. The need for acute hospital care ends once the patient is stable. With advances in medicine, the amount of time needed to become “stable” is getting shorter and shorter. Families are often surprised at how fast their loved one discharges from the hospital. This is because stable patients are not always safe patients, which is a concern for both patients and families. If a patient is stable, but not safe to go home, they will most likely need additional time at a short-term rehabilitation center/ skilled nursing facility to regain their safety. Physical function is another area

62 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

needing consideration when deciding if going home is the right choice. If the patient can independently perform basic “activities of daily living,” they will most likely go directly home. If they need help with these activities, a quick stay at a short-term rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility is key. Examples of these basic activities are; eating, drinking, using the restroom, transferring between positions such as, lying to sitting, sitting to standing, standing to sitting, and walking. These basic functions can be lost during an extended hospital stay. This is normal and easily remedied with a quick stay at a short-term rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility. If you find yourself in a situation where your safety or function is keeping you from going home, remember that a stay at a short-term rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility is exactly what you need. Your hospital case manager will help you navigate your road home. I highly recommend having someone tour at least three short-term rehabilitation centers/skilled nursing facilities on your behalf to find the one that fits your unique need. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Troy Hamler, N.H.A.

Are You Thinking of Selling Are you thinking of selling your Your Home? home and are not sure where to start? You’re not alone.

Selling a home can often be a stressful and overwhelming experience for many. Here are some questions to consider. First, is time a factor? Zillow suggests that the average time to sell a home in the US is between 55-70 days. Does that timeline fit your needs? Next, what kind of condition is your home in? Is the property in good enough shape where a family could move right in without the need of significant repairs or remodeling? Are you comfortable doing or have access to contractors that can execute any agreed upon repairs requested on a buyer’s inspection list? Finally, are you fine moving out on the date of sale? Would you possibly need time to stay in the property for a period after you sell your property? If there’s no time crunch, your home is in good shape, and you can leave the home on the closing date, then most likely the best first step is to call a trusted agent and have a conversation about listing it. However, there are other options to consider. Selling your home to a family member, a neighbor, or a friend is often a great way to sell a property. Another option is to call a professional homebuyer. In addition

64 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

to closing quickly if needed, professional homebuyers can purchase your property in its “as is” condition, requiring no repairs or inspection lists for you to worry about. Also, a professional homebuyer can

often be flexible on your move out date, potentially saving you money on temporary housing or storage. Naturally, you will most likely NOT get the same purchase price as you would if you fixed up the property (if needed) and sold it using a real estate agent. However, while professional homebuyers buy houses at a discount, they also offer a significant amount of ease and convenience. Ultimately, it is your and your family’s decision as to the best route to go when selling your home. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by your local Denver area Homevestors® Team who may be reached at 303-747-5989.

Some agencies offer help to Veterans but it’s mostly just gathering paperwork necessary for the A&A... and that’s it! Care typically doesn’t start until the VA pays the client, which can take months with agencies unfamiliar with the process. If you call an agency and they don’t know anything about the A&A benefit OR they do offer it and/ or it takes longer than 2-4 weeks to START care… move on! Instead, try and find an agency that understands the complexity of the A&A, can start care within 2-4 weeks and has no hidden costs to get started. Do you have experienced VA Accredited Agents within your office to help with this process? Some agencies will outsource this critical step to local Attorneys or Financial Planners that may have accreditation, but the A&A benefit is just one of many products they offer. Find an agency that has VA Accredited Agents on their team that are dedicated and focused only on capturing the A&A benefit and offer no other products or services. Are there any upfront costs? Again, some agencies work through an Attorney or a Financial Planner that technically can help you with this process; however, they have creative ways of collecting payment for

‘other services’ so they can get paid up to an estimated $500 or more. Instead, try and find a Veteran-dedicated agency that offers this at NO COST OR RISK for those who apply.

Questions to Ask Any Non-Medical Home Care Does your agency utilize an Agency that Offers a existing VA benefit called ‘Veteran Program’ ‘Aid & Attendance’?

How long will it take before I can start care? Most agencies don’t start care immediately simply because they don’t have the funds available to absorb the cost of labor for weeks or even months waiting on the VA to begin payment. So, they will process the paperwork and make you wait until the VA releases the funds. Try and find an agency that starts care within 2-4 weeks with no costs upfront and that offers a complete Veterans Program... ~ Editor’s Note:: This article was submitted by Steve Lee, Founder of Free Home Care for Vets, a non-medical home care agency dedicated to Veterans, Spouses and their Widows/ers.

REHABILITATION HOSPITALS Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury or other medical conditions. They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation hospitals were created to provide services less costly on a per diem basis than general hospitals but provide a high level of professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapies. Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/or Speech), and interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

The Top 3 Things to Know to Have Success with an In-Home You are not alone. 1Your caregivers and the agency Care Agency office staff are now a part of your team. That’s right, you have a team now. You are no longer alone on this journey. Set up your new team as an extended part of your family. Share your insights with them and learn from the insights they garner from their time spent with your loved one. Because these new team members don’t have the same history and dynamics, you will be surprised by the different relationship they are able to form with your loved one.

This is a journey – give it some time.

Aging is a journey, not a destination. Allow time for the agency to find the right fit and then for those caregivers to develop relationships that will bond them to your loved one and will help make the journey smoother. Everyone understands there are tasks to be handled, but if you have a resistant loved one, allow some time for the caregivers to build trust inside that relationship. You will find that once trust has been built, those tasks (and so much more) can be easily accomplished. 106 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

Communication is the key.

Good communication with your team is the key to success. Whether is it receiving reports after every visit or setting up regular team meetings, staying in regular contact is vital to making sure this relationship is best serving you and your loved one. Once care is put in place, the journey continues. If you are in constant communication with your caregivers and your agency team, then you will all be able to adjust and pivot easily. Caregiving tends to be reactive, not proactive. But, with a team in place, trust built and open communication – you can get ahead of changing needs and make a plan that will make the experience better for everyone. Creating a team of support around you and your loved one will set everyone up for the best possible outcomes. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jared Kelso.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Tips to Help When a Loved One Is In Dealing with our elderly loved The Hospital ones in the hospital and understanding what to do next is more confusing than ever.

First you have the stress of dealing with the event that led to the hospitalization. That alone makes things difficult for everyone. But then you must try to figure out the confusing maze that our health care system has become. Not only are you trying to deal with your emotions, but then you are trying to absorb information and make rational choices. After being in the industry for over 16 year, and having to deal with a parent constantly in and out of the hospital, the following tips are created to make your life easier so you can focus on what is really important, spending time with your loved one.

Don’t publicly panic. When visiting your loved one in the hospital, stay calm. Being in the hospital is stressful enough. Your loved one does not need to see or feel your pain and stress. This will bother them more than you know.

Find your spokesperson. Larger families need to find that one point of contact that will work with the hospital. It can create challeng-

108 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

es if the hospital staff has to deal with multiple family members. Especially if the there is a difference of opinion among the family members.

Get help for yourself. In any city, you can easily find local experts that can help. Whether it’s the local senior center, a home care agency, or somewhere else, an expert not connected to the hospital can help. Many of these experts are free. For example, Certified Senior Advisors (CSAs) are here to be your advocate and help you plan for what’s next. Best of all, many care management services are also free and they can advocate for you and help you plan for what’s next. ~

HOSPICE CARE

Why Not Hospice? People who’ve experienced hospice care most often have positive things to say, such as: “We couldn’t have done it without you.” Why then are people who could benefit from hospice often hesitant to access it? In brief: It’s complicated. Surely it has to do with admitting that life is short, not in the metaphorical enjoy-every-moment sense, but in the short-term permanent way. That is a hard pill to swallow. And medical advances may leave the door open for the “what ifs.” When considering hospice, it’s important to note three things:

Treatment to cure a condition(s) typically stops, but quality medical care doesn’t.

Patients and family receive ongoing practical, emotional and spiritual support.

Some people graduate from hospice services.

There are countless individuals whose final weeks or months have been made better because of the total support of hospice. Others receiving hospice care have been known to see improvement in their 124 NORTH METRO DENVER – MAY 2022-2023

overall condition, even outliving their prognosis. Famed columnist Art Buchwald said of his own hospice graduation, “[Friends] can’t believe, after I said goodbye, I’m going to Martha’s Vineyard instead of Paradise.” He lived eleven months beyond his admission to hospice and accomplished a great many things, including promoting hospice care. Why hospice? Accessing hospice care means admitting that a person’s life span is relatively short. (Hospice criteria is a presumed six months or fewer.) Regardless of time, the specialized, compassionate care and support of the hospice team can make a tremendous difference for individuals at the end of life—and those who love them. So, the question becomes: Why not? Those interested in learning more can talk with a medical provider or a hospice provider in their area. Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Agape Healthcare, Hospice & Palliative Care, which may be reached at 720-482-1988.

and family unable to cope. Continuous care is typically reserved for end of life or other crises that requires a constant presence by a nurse or care team. 24/7 ADMISSIONS – 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. AROMATHERAPY – Uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering one’s mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being. This is not reimbursed by Medicare. 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. 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.

IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting.

peatedly when I tried to talk to her about her need for more medical care and socialization.

She openly admitted to being stubborn and uncooperative but the obvious decline in her mental and physical health made it impossible to avoid the conversation AGAIN! She was diagnosed with dementia, depressed and isolated except for my almost silent dad and his caregiving. He was “exhausted” and long ago resigned to avoiding conversations/ questions that resulted in a fruitless loop or caused her to erupt in anger. I would say, “Mom, you know we’re headed for a crisis over your care”. She would reply once more, “I’m not leaving; I’ll die at home.” What she did not know is that only about 30% of Older Adults are able to die at home. (Study by New England Journal of Medicine) The majority of us will eventually need a team of medical/non-medical care-givers around the clock to keep us safe and living our best quality of life. And then it happened! Dad tripped over a chair in the kitchen, fell and broke his hip. Off to the hospital for Dad and off to a pre-identified Community for mom.

The crisis made all three of us children drop everything for weeks and deal simultaneously with Dad, Mom and their house. It was exhausting!!! FOR EVERYONE. After moving to a Senior Community we began to see a change in mom. She no longer seemed depressed and acted much happier being around people. She went out for ice-cream and lunch. With regular med- management, nutritious meals and socialization she noticeably improved. It happens often. People refuse to move to a Community out of fear and stubbornness. The exhibited independence that served them well earlier in life now becomes a hindrance to their well-being. Senior Placement Companies understand this and are equipped to help your family/loved one make a much needed transition to an Adult Community. Avoiding a long, exhausting crisis is far better than waiting for an emergency. Their service is free! Contact them soon! ~

JAXPOINTE MEMORY CARE HOMES

Until he was 70, Tommie was a cowboy and loved to herd cattle on horseback on his South Dakota Ranch. Tommie suffered a severe heart attack and his dementia quickly progressed. Tommie’s daughter, Cindy, moved both her parents to Colorado so that she could visit more often. She placed them in a large assisted living facility memory care unit. Tommie’s wife, Dorothy, passed away 7 months after moving to Colorado. Tommie declined quickly in that environment because he wasn’t eating and wandered a lot. Cindy was unable to work because of her daily visits to her father. She made sure that he would eat and was safe. That experience took a toll on Cindy, her husband, and two young children. They found Jaxpointe at Flower Ct. and moved Tommie two and a half years ago. It is the perfect environment for Tommie to call home for the rest of his life. The backyard walking path enables Tommie to enjoy nature and walk around. After placing Tommie at Jaxpointe, Cindy and her family went on their first family vacation in four years because they were so comforted by the care that he was receiving. These days, Tommie is doing great. Daily he dons his western shirt, suspenders, jeans and most of the time, his cowboy hat. He will greet you when you come into Jaxpointe, and always tries to join in on conversations. He goes out in the backyard daily to walk or will “try to find his cattle or check on his hay crops”. He is very happy and enjoys every day. There are times that he doesn’t remember family members or their names, but he is thriving in the person that he has become with dementia.

Once a decision to get your resident placed has been made, how do you decide where to place them? They need to be assessed by a competent individual who can guide the placement.

Most seniors with a cognitive deficit being considered for placement will do best in an Assisted Living setting versus a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF).

When the resident’s needs increase and they cannot be met any longer, then one of the other settings could prove better. Small ALF (residential) – resident would benefit from more oversight, more nurturing, some extra help managing their day-to-day functions, smaller group of residents

Residents tend to stay in these settings through end of life. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Russ Udelhofen, Administrator of Jaxpointe Assisted Living Memory Care Homes.
