SENIOR HOUSING

First you should familiarize yourself with the many options available and determine which one is best for your needs. You will find definitions of each type of housing at the beginning of the housing section. Then turn to our easy to read comparison grids.

The grids are divided into 3 categories, depending on the type of community: Independent Living and Retirement, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing.

The buildings are listed by city or county so you can zero in on the specific areas you are looking for.

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS AND CONTACT INFORMATION

DEAR READERS OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI

Once again, beginning our 21st year, we present the Seniors Blue Book of Southeast Mississippi. Our mission remains the same as when we started: To provide needed information to senior citizens to promote self-reliance, an enhanced quality of life, and dignity in aging. There are many services and benefits available to seniors, however many are not easy to find. The Seniors Blue Book overcomes that problem with its alphabetical listing of community resources, and its comprehensive listing of senior housing and home health listings.

You may have noticed the increase in Assisted Living facilities in southeast Mississippi.

The Seniors Blue Book of Mississippi, LLC 15217 Shadow Creek Dr. Woolmarket MS 39532 P: 228.396.4602 Thad@SeniorsBlueBook.com Carolan@SeniorsBlueBook.com w: SeniorsBlueBook.com

Thad and Carolan Anderson Publishers

This trend follows the increased number of seniors who need a higher level of care and realize they cannot safely and economically live alone. Our life expectancy has risen due to modern medicine as has the cost of living. It is said that the greatest population growth segment are those in their 90th decade. When you need assistance, consider the medical and residential services advertised in the Blue Book.

These companies are responsible for the Blue Book; They advertise so you can have this asset in your hands at this time. They are good people!

Best regards to all, Thad and Carolan Anderson, Publishers

Do You Need an Elder Law Attorney?

Very simply, ask yourself these questions:

1 2 3 4 5 6

What happens to my (our) savings if one of us has to go into a nursing home?

Do I really need a power of attorney? Can’t my spouse or kids just handle it for me?

Does my Will have to go to probate? How can I avoid it?

If your bank account is co-owned, and one of the owners dies, does the other get all the money?

What happens if I wait to plan for sickness and death?

Do I have any options to conserve assets after I’m in a nursing home? Is it too late then?

What elder law considerations change after the death of one spouse?

These or only a few questions that senior citizens should resolve before it’s too late. Remember, if you wait too long, you lose control of your assets and may not have any options.

You cannot delay time-sensitive decisions by un-plugging the clock. ~

REHABILITATION FACILITIES There are two types of rehabilitation facilities; in-patient where you live at a facility for a specific amount of time and out-patient where you visit a facility for services. Most hospitals have an associated rehabilitation department, and all skilled nursing facilities offer rehabilitation. Rehabilitation Hospitals, however, exclusively provide intense rehabilitation care 24/7 , frequent physicians’ visits, and rehabilitation team experts directly supervised by a Registered Nurse.

Know the Difference in Inpatient Rehabilitation for You never know when you may be faced with the challenging Better Recovery task of being a caregiver for someone you love.

Stroke, brain injury, hip fracture, Parkinson’s disease and many other conditions may require the need for inpatient rehabilitation. Knowing the difference between an inpatient rehabilitation hospital and a skilled nursing facility–or nursing home–can help you as a caregiver to make an informed decision in choosing the best rehabilitation program for your loved one. Making the right choice gives your loved one a greater chance of reclaiming independence for a higher quality of life and a return into the community.

When comparing rehabilitation choices, it’s important to ask questions and compare notes from place to place. Questions like, how often is the patient seen by a physician? Do the nurses specialize in rehabilitative care? How advanced are the technologies that will be used? How much therapy will my loved one receive?

Are rehabilitation teams experienced and experts in their field? By gaining this knowledge, you gain a clearer view of the benefits one place offers over another, boosting patient recovery to optimum levels.

When you conduct your own research, you will know the difference before you choose a rehabilitation provider. Pay close attention to the following areas, key differences in many locations for treatment.

38 SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – 2020 SUMMER-WINTER

Advanced technologies New technologies and treatments consistently offer patients greater options for successful rehabilitation and recovery. Yet, some skilled living facilities do not offer these advancements, limiting progress and a successful return to independence.

Frequent physician* visits Patients are frequently evaluated by a physician at a rehabilitation hospital, leading team meetings to discuss a patient’s progress in reaching goals of independence.

24/7 rehabilitation RNs Patients have around-the-clock care from registered nurses that specialize in rehabilitative care.

Three hours of therapy a day, five days a week A rehabilitation hospital requires that patients receive at least three hours of therapy five days a week. Patients have their personalized therapies spread out throughout the day to improve appropriate skills including walking, swallowing, eating, cooking, grooming and dressing.

A higher level of care in rehabilitation can make a proven difference for patient outcomes.~ * The hospital provides access to independent physicians.

ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

Advantages of Assisted Living Many of us would refuse an opportunity to move into an assisted living community. We’re proud, independent, and we’re “comfortable” in our homes. The thought of change at this stage of our lives is usually answered with an emphatic “NO.” However, let’s look at this opportunity in a qualitative manner, that is, lets put it on a scale, weigh it, and see if it is, indeed, a good value and a smart move for us.

Most if not all of us are on a fixed income. There’s a limit to our ability to pay for our needs. We are aware that the old standard of “the cost of a loaf of bread” is tangible proof of rising costs – and they always rise, not fall. It costs more and more to live independently in our own homes, even though they may be paid for.

Here are a few costly items that we must have if we stay in our homes: n Repairs to the structure (siding, roof, windows, etc.) n Lawn and landscape maintenance (we can’t do this ourselves) n Utilities (electricity, water, gas, garbage) n Property tax (county and city) n Repairs to appliances (air conditioning and heat, refrigerator, washing machine and dryer, stove, plumbing) n Insurance on your house Now, let’s consider other tangible and intangible costs of staying in our homes: n Groceries (we all know how these costs have risen)

78 SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – 2021 WINTER-SUMMER

Cooking and cleaning after meals Dusting, sweeping, and keeping everything clean n Worrying, perhaps, about future problems around the house (air conditioning breaking or wearing-out, plumbing malfunction, electrical problems after many years of use, etc.) n Having to drive so much (to the grocery, bank, pharmacy) n Having to rely on others, family or friends, to do things for you n n

These are a few serious considerations that affect us. Perhaps “worrying” about the future and our ability, financially and mentally, to meet those problems is most concerning. Also, just facing the reality of aging and our lesser abilities can burden us. If we total the dollar costs of keeping the house, and the mental cost of worrying about this, the actual cost of assisted living is not so high.

Assisted Living eliminates your “costs” listed above. You do not have to maintain the house, pay for groceries, prepare meals, clean-up, pay property taxes and home insurance. You will have a Registered Nurse available to you, and trained attendants to help you with your activities of daily living.

You’ll have peer friends who are there for the same reasons. You’ll essentially have a new “family.” ~ Editor’s Note: This article was provided by the Seniors Blue Book. For details on Assisted Living, call one of the sponsors of the Blue Book, featured in the Assisted Living Grid, pages 82-84.

D ecluttering S aying Goodbye to the Home F inding the Right Place to Live W orking with a Realtor® K eeping the Family Informed

Decluttering – Just because you have a lot of “stuff”, doesn’t mean it does not have value. Decluttering should be done in an organized and purposeful manner.

Say Goodbye to your Home – A home is more than brick and

mortar. Families were raised in the home, memories were made, it was a sanctuary for a long time.

The home should be celebrated.

Find the Right New Place to Live –If you are looking for a new home, a Realtor® can help you find the home that fits your needs. If it is a different type of housing situation, Seniors Blue Book has many incredible resources to help you determine what your right fit is.

Five Focus Areas to Help You Manage Your Move continued from page 85

Work with a Realtor® – Not all real estate agents are created equally. First consider working with a Realtor®. A Realtor has a fiduciary relationship with their client. They must put the client’s needs above all else.

Next, find a Realtor® that has a Senior Real Estate Specialist designation and a Probate Real Estate Specialist designation. This shows that they have taken additional training to understand the specific needs of seniors in housing solutions.

Keep Your Family Informed – Prepare for the unexpected. If you are suddenly not able to care for yourself, do you have someone to help you? Consider having a 88 SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – 2021 WINTER-SUMMER

detailed discussion with your family members so they know their role in supporting you and that they have the information to make informed decisions for you. A book such as The Record can give you the important information your loved ones would need to know. It is available by sending an email to KandRHomeTransitions@gmail.com and asking for your complimentary copy.

Change in life is inevitable.

Stressful change is not. There are great resources out there to help you. Take advantage of them – they are there for you. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Robyn Lewis-Oglesby of K & R Home Transitions.
