Memory Matters is a local award-winning not for profit organization that serves persons with dementia and their families. There are three major components to our organization.

1. A social day program for persons with dementia that focuses on their abilities through dementia specific programming such as music, art, and pet therapy. In addition, Memory Matters invested in a computer program, It’s Never Too Late (IN2L), which offers over 4,000 programs to stimulate the brain.

2. Caregiver support groups which allow for people to share their experiences as they move throughout their journey while receiving resources and building relationships with others.

3. Community-wide education for people to learn more about dementia, caregiving, and other resources in our community through events, speaking engagements, and educational classes.

As an active member of the Hilton Head and Bluffton community, Memory Matters wanted to revolutionize our community. In 2015, Memory Matters launched a program called the Purple Angel Project. The Purple Angel Project is an international program that started in the UK. Memory Matters partnered with the international movement to bring the program to the Hilton Head-Bluffton area to create one of the first dementia friendly communities in the United States.

The goal of the Purple Angel Project is to educate the community about dementia. Our vision is to create a community that is understanding and supportive of persons with dementia and their families.

With the continued support of the Purple Angel Project by training local businesses and organizations, our dream of being a true dementia friendly community will come to fruition.

Seniors Helping Seniors: Developing a Village in Your Community

As you grow older, would you like to stay in your home for as long as possible? You are not alone.

Several communities around the country, and in Beaufort County, are now looking at a new way to help seniors stay in their own homes as long as it is safe, physically and financially possible.

This new, volunteerdriven approach, involves forming self-directed, senior support networks, i.e., Village, that provide programs and services needed for the continuance of independent living. Membership in the Village includes the benefits of seniors helping seniors, the services of a limited network staff, and a single point of contact to access a broad menu of programs and services necessary to assure that living in your own home is enjoyable, safe, healthy, and generally feasible.

There are already several Villages up and running in Beaufort County and a few that are in the developmental stages. Local Villages are currently providing services such as transportation to doctors,

grocery shopping, and social events; assistance with minor household chores, light maintenance projects, and friendly phone checkups. Some Villages are also providing respite services in addition to meals for neighbors who are recuperating from surgery or short term illnesses. As each community is unique so are the list of services they will provide.

Interested in creating a Village network in your community? The Beaufort County Coalition for Aging in Place (CAP) is available to work with members of your community to that end. CAP serves as an information resource, provides development consultation and has representatives who will make presentations community meetings. Once the Village is up and running CAP can also provide PR and marketing support as well as assistance with start-up funding (up to $1,200).

For additional information on how to get a Village started in your community contact Deborah Edmondson, Village Developer and CAP Facilitator.

Staying Connected: It’s The Neighborly Thing To Do

“I was at a pretty low point when your flyer arrived in my mailbox…you’ll never know how that one piece of paper impacted me! Like a gift from heaven.”

Staying Connected is a not for profit organization of volunteers, who are Sun City residents, that serve their neighbors within the gates of Sun City. Commonly referred to as a “Village”, Staying Connected is the vehicle for neighbors to help neighbors stay in their homes as long as it is safe to do so.

Staying Connected evolved from a task force led by Holly Field, who now serves as the Chairman of its board. The goal of the task force was to investigate the needs of the community to help resident maintain their active lifestyle. After considerable research and assistance provided by the Coalition for Aging in Place a volunteer service organization was formed. The task force evolved into a steering committee and in June 2014, Staying Connected was established with a fivemember Board of Directors.

Their Mission: “To enhance resident’s ability to remain engaged within our community and ensure they have access to information and services which provide them with the lifestyle consistent with vision of an active adult community. The mission is supported through the various services offered by Staying Connected such as transportation to and from medical related appointments and grocery shopping, home companionship visits, reassuring call, caregiver relief visits, minor

home maintenance and home safety checks.

Another valuable asset is their Resource Hub. The Resource Hub is open Monday-Friday from 9:00AM-3:00PM and provides residents with a broad range of Low Country support information.

Homes visits and transportation, two of the direct services offered by Staying Connected, have experienced an 83% and 70% increase, respectively, when compared to 4th quarter 2015. The Village currently has 350 members and 250 volunteers.

Volunteers are at the heart of Staying Connected’s mission. The organization is constantly recruiting volunteers and offers orientation and training for all who are interested. Volunteers are offered the opportunity to work in one or several areas with flexible time commitment.

Sun City Hilton Head is humming with excitement. The excitement of residents thrilled with the addition of Staying Connected. Volunteers and members alike are benefiting from the services offered by the community’s “Village”. “As a child I always had a security blanket. Now at 89 years old I have gotten my security blanket back,” …Staying Connected Member. A volunteer simply states “I am paying it forward. I have received help throughout my life and now I am able to help those in need.” Evidence that community outreach changes both lives.

In-Home Services How to Choose an In-Home Health Care Provider

ComForcare Home Care is a leading non-medical home care provider that delivers the highest quality personal and homemaking services through reliable and experienced caregivers. We take pride in our rigorous, 10-step hiring process, the most thorough in the home care industry.

The Office for the Study of Aging, Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina, recommends interviewing home care providers to make better choices about the care you will receive. ComForcare agrees and encourages individuals and families to do their homework, ask tough questions and make informed decisions.

How are the client’s home care needs assessed?

Before sending a caregiver into a client’s home, a qualified professional should assess the individual’s needs. With ComForcare, a registered nurse performs a comprehensive assessment, including a home safety check and fall risk evaluation. The RN then develops a personalized care plan that is followed by the caregiver at every visit.

Who takes care of scheduling? What if I need assistance after hours?

A first-rate home care provider will make certain the right caregiver is chosen for your particular needs and is available to you around the clock. The agency will handle scheduling your caregiver, finding a replacement if your usual caregiver is ill or on vacation. ComForcare begins by matching you and your loved one with a compatible caregiver, takes care of all scheduling and is available 24/7, 365 days a year for all your home care needs. Regular follow up calls to the client and family guarantee questions or concerns are addressed in a timely manner.

Call ComForcare today at 843-837-3100 for a FREE, no obligation, in-home visit! Our team staff member will answer all your questions about the care we can provide you or your loved one.

What is included in the hourly cost of home care services?

Much more than caregiver salary goes into the cost of home care services. Employers are required by law to pay federal, state and Social Security taxes of their employees – a task that falls to the consumer if a caregiver is not employed by an agency. Worker’s compensation insurance must be paid by the employer as well, shielding the consumer from substantial liability. An agency should be licensed by the state. ComForCare DHEC license is #IHCP-0002.

What is the home care provider’s hiring process for caregivers?

When talking to home care employers, ask if they perform background and reference checks. Running criminal, sex offender and driver’s background checks help protect the client against physical, psychological or financial abuse, and reference checks verify a caregiver’s work history and experience.

ComForcare utilizes an RN to further test a caregiver’s healthcare knowledge and skills. In addition, in-home “spot” checks are done to ensure dependability and care plan follow through.

Hilton Head and Coastal Carolina Hospitals Walking through a hospital door is a little different for everybody. For a patient who has had a heart attack or stroke, nothing in their life could have prepared them for the uncertain road ahead. For patients needing physical rehabilitation, it’s a path to get back on their feet and the activities they enjoy. For expectant parents and their relatives, it’s the beginning of one of life’s greatest journeys.

No matter what the circumstance, Hilton Head Hospital and Coastal Carolina Hospital are dedicated to providing the best care possible.

Hilton Head Hospital: Specialized Treatment to Save Lives

Since opening its doors over four decades ago, Hilton Head Hospital has provided critical care and proudly served the residents and visitors of Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Okatie and surrounding communities. With a core of dedicated, skilled physicians and well-trained staff, the hospital has been able to develop highly specialized programs for treatment of diseases and injuries right here at home.

At the 93-bed hospital off of Beach City Road on Hilton Head, patients and visitors can find a vast array of healthcare services, such as award winning cardiac care including open heart surgery; a dedicated spine center and orthopedic center, obstetrics/gynecology, surgical services, physical rehabilitation and wellness. Specialty orthopedic services include, MAKOplasty, a robotic arm-assisted surgical procedure designed to relieve pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis. At Hilton Head Hospital, MAKOplasty® is currently being used to treat the damaged part of the knee.

Patients with serious injuries or dangerous symptoms can find treatment at the hospital’s 24hour emergency department. An online emergency room check-in service allows patients with some symptoms to reserve a place and come to the ER at a designated time for care.

Hilton Head Hospital’s cancer care program, affiliated with the Medical University of South Carolina Hollings Cancer Center, features Beaufort County’s only nationally accredited Breast Health Center. It offers 3-D Breast Tomosynthesis and a dedicated breast surgeon.

Outpatient services are available at the two-year old Bluffton Medical Campus, located on 75 Baylor Drive in Bluffton – midway between Hilton Head and Coastal Carolina Hospitals. While patients and their families will find a range of services at the hospitals, they can find access to other convenient care at our Bluffton Medical Campus. The 60,000 sq. foot outpatient center was designed as a one-stop shop for the convenience of patients. They can schedule appointments with a primary care doctor, have blood drawn, receive their imaging and attend physical therapy all in one building.

...Committed to Quality Patient Care Coastal Carolina Hospital: High Quality Care Close to Home

Investing in the most advanced technology and recruiting well-trained physicians, Coastal Carolina Hospital has built an array of inpatient and outpatient services so you and your loved ones don’t have to leave your community to receive the high-quality care you deserve.

In the last year, our surgical services offerings have been enhanced with the addition of the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System. Our surgeons have been trained to use da Vinci to perform procedures such gall bladder removal and hysterectomies through tiny incisions.

The hospital also is one of two places in South Carolina where men can have prostate biopsies done with the aid of Artemis - a new technology that brings detailed, three-dimensional imaging to bear on prostate cancer. Physicians have long been unable to accurately visualize tumors during prostate biopsies, but that has improved thanks to the Artemis device.

Advanced technology has made it possible for persons suffering with a stroke to receive a higher level of care. The hospital’s stroke program is part of the Medical University of South Carolina’s telemedicine network. The network provides aroundthe-clock access to MUSC’s neurosurgeons, who can help diagnose patients with stroke symptoms via video – saving time and lives. The launch of this service earned Coastal designation from The Joint Commission as a primary stroke center.

Patients and visitors to Coastal will find many other essential services at the 41-bed acute care hospital. Among there are primary care, a dedicated Women’s Pavilion, 24-hour emergency car, imaging, laboratory and pathology services, surgery, physical rehab and the only certified pulmonary rehabilitation program in South Carolina. The hospital offers wound healing and ostomy care at its Center for Hyperbarics and Wound Healing at the Bluffton Medical Campus.

Choosing The Right Physician Choosing a physician is not easy. It is hard finding someone to trust your health with. Asking for recommendations from co-workers, neighbors, and friends is a good way to start, but ultimately you will have to decide which physician is best suited to your individual needs and situation. If the Lowcountry is your second home, you still need to identify a physician who can care for you while you are here. Establishing continuity of care with your home physician makes sure you do not have a lapse in your healthcare.

When you are choosing a doctor, look for someone who listens to your opinions and concerns, encourages you to ask questions and explains things in ways you can understand. When you and your doctor work together as a team, you’ll get better care.

The following questions can help you to define further what is most important for you

when choosing a physician:

• Is the doctor taking new patients?

• Is the doctor board-certified?

• Where is the practice located? Will it be easy for you to get there?

• How long will it take to get an appointment?

• Is the doctor part of a network of physicians?

Hilton Head Regional Healthcare is comprised of board-certified physicians that believe in providing compassionate and comprehensive patient care right here in the Lowcountry.

Whether you are new to the area or just looking for a new physician, our physicians represent a broad-range of medical and surgical specialties and they are dedicated to helping you stay healthy and active.

Elder Law & Estate Planning Center Plan for Tomorrow, Today Q. Why an Elder Law Attorney?

Elder law attorneys advocate for the senior community and their loved ones. They handle a wide range of legal matters affecting older or disabled persons that includes traditional estate planning, lifetime planning, long term care planning, guardianship, Social Security, Medicaid, VA benefits, special needs planning, and other important matters. They are “specialists” because of their focus on the needs of older adults, which are often different and more specialized than the needs of younger adults. Not only can they handle important financial and estate planning matters, they also give advice affecting the actual care of seniors, such as assisted living and nursing homes.

Q. How Can an Elder Law Attorney Help Me?

Elder law attorneys can help with any one of the following:

• Discuss the importance of Wills and traditional estate planning and probate administration, and litigation • Create powers of attorney for finances and health care • Financial planning including, housing opportunities and planning, income, estate, and gift tax matters • Guardianship/Conservatorship: help with the selection and appointment of a legal guardian • Help locate long term care facilities and manage assisted living cost • Medicaid and VA benefits planning

Q. How Do Elder Law Attorneys Bill for Their Services?

In most cases, elder law attorneys charge flat rates, quoted in advance based on the type of planning, such as traditional estate planning and asset protection planning. For other work, particularly that which may include litigation, they generally charge by the hour.

Q. What Questions Should I Ask an Elder Law Attorney?

Most elder law attorneys do not specialize in every area of law affecting the senior community, so it is important to hire an attorney who has experience in your particular area of concern.

Also, before selecting an elder law attorney, you should feel comfortable that he or she will represent you or your loved ones in a sensitive and understanding manner.

Here are some questions you should ask:

• What percentage of your time is devoted to elder law?

• Do you have a particular emphasis on a certain area within elder law?

• What information should I prepare for our first meeting?

• How are your fees computed?

There are numerous ways to find a qualified elder law attorney. Referrals from friends and family or online research may be a good start.

Is It Time To Sell Your Home?

From the Moving On Guide, published by the SRES® Council, Seniors Real Estate Specialist®

Are you thinking of selling your home to move to a senior supportive environment? Or perhaps to move in with an adult son or daughter who can help with your needs as you grow older?

You may be considering leaving the family home with all that it represents—the place where children were raised; the safety and security of a family unit; the physical space where your oldest and dearest memories reside. For seniors, it can signify the best years of their lives, where friends and community ties were made.

Many seniors would prefer to continue living in their own home, or aging in place.

Sometimes, circumstances work against those preferences: • Home maintenance becomes a burden • A major life event forces considering a move • An aging parent wants to live closer to adult children or other caretakers • Financial concerns make it difficult to keep the home • Support services are needed that are not available at home

To request a PDF of the Moving On Guide, or questions on selling your home, please contact Susan Basile, S.R.E.S.® with the Basile Property Group, Keller Williams Realty, 843-620-2535 or email Susan at susan@basilepropertygroup.com

Whatever the reason, there may come a time when parents, along with their adult children, consider selling and moving on. The following information is designed to help guide your family through the complex issues and unique situations you may encounter during the process.

Many homeowners have previously bought and sold homes. However, selling a senior’s home can be much more complicated, due to the number of unique issues and decisions— and sometimes the number of people involved. Though seniors usually make the decision to sell, it is not uncommon for adult children to help them sort through these and other issues: • Is moving the best alternative? If so, where? Have other options been explored?

• Are close family members on board with a decision to sell?

• What is the best way to downsize a lifetime’s worth of possessions and family heirlooms?

• What are the tax-related implications of a sale?

• What effects might a sale have on future income?

The financial, logistical and emotional issues involved in a move can be stressful for a family to navigate. Senior parents and their adult children may feel they are in unfamiliar waters as they deal with these questions.

A real estate professional who has experience in senior’s issues, and who can put you in contact with other similarly-trained professional advisors, can be an invaluable resource at this time. You can count on a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) to help guide you through the process and the special considerations, making the transaction less stressful and more successful.

Your Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) can help you navigate this process.

They can: • Familiarize you with the various types of senior housing available in your area.

• Suggest important questions to ask when you’re visiting various housing options.

• Refer you to other professionals who can help you understand and compare the true costs of each option, determine which options are affordable based on your financial situation, and examine the legal contracts involved in the process.

• Suggest a geriatric case manager to help determine the parent’s needs.

A feel-amazing musical comedy that tells the story of a wannabe Las Vegas diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent! Great fun and a fantastic score!

MAMMA MIA!
