Staying Connected: “It’s the Neighborly Thing to Do”

Staying Connected is a non-for-profit organization whose volunteers, all Sun City Hilton Head residents, provide assistance to their neighbors within the community’s gates. Commonly referred to as a “Village”, Staying Connected is a vehicle for neighbors to help neighbors remain in their homes as long as it is safe to do so.

Their Mission: “We are committed to enhance Sun City Hilton Head residents’ ability to remain engaged within our community to ensure they have access to information, support, and services which provide them with a lifestyle consistent with the vision of an active adult community.” The mission is supported by dedicated volunteers who provide help to qualified members such as transportation to medical appointments and grocery shopping, home companionship visits, caregiver relief visits, minor home maintenance and daily reassuring calls. Staying Connected’s Resource Hub is the center of the organization’s operations.

It is centrally located in the Yemassee Craft Center and is available to all Sun City residents Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m..

Residents who are facing a life challenge can visit the Hub where

helpful volunteers are ready to help them understand what LowCountry agencies, support groups and service providers are available to assist them.

The Hub provides information sheets, brochures, and other aids to help residents navigate through life’s challenges.

Their Success: Staying Connected continues to make a huge difference in the lives of its members and volunteers. Today, the organization supports 375 households and more than 500 Sun City residents through the dedication of more than 350 resident volunteers. In a year, those volunteers drive nearly 2.75 times around the earth, 70,000 miles and post nearly 18,000 hours to help their neighbors. Volunteers provide nearly 3,000 rides, 1,000 visits, 500 small maintenance tasks and nearly 6,000 daily reassuring calls annually.

Member feedback makes it all worthwhile: “Your services are an answer to my prayers. Many, many thanks to your wonderful caring group”; “The home visits are very important to me because I live alone; and the visitors are company.”. And volunteers continue to say “I can’t tell you how much volunteering has changed my life; I get so much more from the members I help than I give to them. I’m proud, and thankful to contribute my time to help my neighbors!”.

How I can help?: If you are a Sun City resident, you can visit the Hub and explore the many opportunities to make a difference by becoming a Staying Connected volunteer. Or if you would like to offer financial support, corporate, club and individual donations are gratefully accepted.

You can find out more about Staying Connected at www.StayingConnectedSCHH.org, or by calling 843-705-2259

NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS:

Developing a Village for Seniors in Your Community As you grow older, would you like to stay in your home for as long as it is safe to do so? You are not alone. Several communities around the country and right here in Beaufort County, are now looking at a new way to help seniors stay in their own homes as long as it is safe, and physically and financially feasible.

This relatively new, volunteer-driven approach involves forming a self-directed, senior support network i.e., Village, that provides 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 program and services necessary to assure that living in your own home is enjoyable, safe, healthy, and generally feasible.

There are already villages up and running in Beaufort County and each one is unique to its community. Local villages are currently providing services such as transportation to doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, medical treatments i.e., physical therapy and chemo therapy; assistance with minor household chores, light home maintenance projects, friendly phone check-ins, social appointments with those who are shut-in; and more. Each Village tailors its services to the needs of the community. Some villages are also providing respite services for caregivers in addition to meals for neighbors who are recuperating from surgery and/or short illnesses.

If you are 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 assist you. CAP serves as an information resource, provides development consultation and has representatives who will make presentations at community meetings. Once he village is up and running CAP can also provide PR and marketing support.

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

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.

Ways To Avoid Kidney Disease Get a Primary Care Physician: Everyone needs a primary care physician,” says Dr. Coleman. “They are the captain of the ship of your body.” She recommends patients see them at minimum once per year, or as often as the physician recommends.

Make sure the PCP performs a physical exam, runs a metabolic blood profile and a urinalysis showing creatinine levels once per year. Creatinine is the number doctors use to see how well the kidneys are working. When your kidneys aren’t functioning properly, creatinine can accumulate in your body. A urinalysis will also help see if damage is being done to your kidneys.

Exercise: Keep active and exercise. Movement stimulates the body and helps all organs do what they were made to do. Dr. Coleman recommends 30 minutes of exercise a minimum of three times per week under the supervision of a PCP. Exercise will also help improve muscle function and sleep, which will in turn benefit kidney function. Even moderate exercise such as walking will improve one’s overall quality of health.

Water, Water, Water: “Drink lots of water,” says Dr. Coleman. Water flushes the toxins from the kidneys and keeps your entire body hydrated. “You want to keep flushing toxins out of your body. The best way to do that is with lots of water,” she says. Those living in the Lowcountry should be extra careful to drink enough water, as they can lose hydration easily through daily activity.

Control Blood Pressure: Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the leading cause of kidney disease. Monitor your blood pressure. Try to keep your top number (systolic) below 130; your diastolic number (bottom) below 80. Salt is an enemy. It raises blood pressure and puts unneeded stress on your kidneys.

Avoid Preserved Meats: Preserved meats such as lunch meat, bacon, pepperoni and red meat are high in uric acid and salt, which are hard on kidney function and also causes painful gout.

Control Bad Cholesterol: Total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg. Good cholesterol should be above 50. Limit dining out, especially fast foods. It is suggested one eat more high antioxidant foods such as colorful fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts and low or non-fat dairy products.

Avoid Cigarettes: Smoking affects your entire body, including your kidneys. Smoking can also interfere with medications used to treat high blood pressure.

Control Your Blood Sugar: Try to keep blood sugar levels (A1C) less than 7 percent. Uncontrolled diabetes accelerates loss of kidney function. It is suggested people try to consume high-fiber/low-sugar foods.

ABOUT US NEPHROLOGY Nephrology is the study of kidney function, kidney problems, the treatment of kidney problems, and renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplantation).

Patients are seen by a physician specializing in nephrology for various reasons such as: acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease, hematuria, proteinuria, kidney stones, hypertension, and disorders of acid/base or electrolytes.

HYPERTENSION Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a chronic medical condition in which blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. Blood pressure is made up of two measurements, systolic and diastolic, which depend on whether the heart muscle is contracting (systole) or relaxed between beats (diastole).

Hypertension puts strain on the heart, leading to hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery disease.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, aneurysms of the arteries, peripheral arterial disease, and chronic kidney disease.

Nephrology & Hypertension Medical Associates, P.C. is a full service, privately owned and operated practice. Since 1969, their focus and specialty has been the evaluation and treatment of patients with kidney related disease and hypertension. While services do include hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, renal transplant referrals, and care following transplantation, the primary goal is to provide patients and their families with the finest care to enhance health and improve the quality of life, be addressing their chronic kidney disease problems before these services are needed.

10 Most Common Estate Planning Mistakes

We all know that having an estate plan is good for our finances and for our heirs. When it comes to estate planning, the most common mistake people make is, quite honestly, the simplest one: they fail to prepare.

And those who do prepare often make mistakes that can lead to family discord and financial problems down the road.

Over the years, we have seen estate plans fail what they were intended to do. For your estate plan to remain valuable for you and your heirs, you would be wise to avoid these 10 common mistakes: 1. Not having a Will: Personal wishes, whether written or oral, will most likely not be followed in the absence of a will. Without a written plan that is set forth in a Will that YOU create, your assets will pass to your heirs according to your state’s laws of intestacy, not the way YOU would want.

2. Doing it yourself: Even if a self-prepared will or trust is legally enforceable, estate planning is a complex legal process requiring knowledge in several areas of the law, including estate law, tax law and property law as starters.

3. Not funding your revocable living trust: A properly drafted trust will prevent putting your loved ones through the expensive, lengthy and emotionally draining court probate process. Creating a trust is one thing- funding it is another. An unfunded Revocable Trust is useless.

Make sure your attorney guides you on funding the trust once created.

4. Failing to understand the impact of life insurance proceeds: Many people do not realize that life insurance proceeds are NOT controlled by the directions in your will and death benefits are not part of your estate.

Confirm the identity of your death beneficiaries with your life insurance company.

5. Failing to adequately plan for children with special needs: An outright gift to a child with special needs disqualification of that child from receiving public benefits. Using a Special Needs Trust will allow you to make a bequest for the benefit of the special needs child while keeping public benefits.

6. Not properly planning for incapacity: People are living longer, and therefore the risk of lacking capacity during your lifetime is increasing. With proper estate planning can you be sure that your health and financial affairs will be taken care of in the event of your inability to take care of them yourself.

7. Business planning: Who will own and control your business upon your death? Proper estate planning increases the likelihood of your business continuing as a viable operation.

8. Not preparing for minor children: If you have minor children, you should have a will nominating personal guardians for the children, in the event that both you and your spouse should die prior the children reaching the age of 18. Without a plan, the court will decide without your input where the kids will live and who will make important decisions about their money, education and life.

9. Improper beneficiary designations: Similar to life insurance, your Will and your beneficiary designations on IRAs, 401k’s and annuities should be consistent.

A Will does not necessarily control the disposition of these assets.

10. Not periodically updating an estate plan: People do not like to discuss dying, and therefore people often want to simply execute their estate plan documents and be done with it as quickly as possible, without considering all the economic, family, and health dynamics that should be thoughtfully addressed and monitored during your lifetime. You should plan to make periodic revisions to your estate plan.

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

Lives Worth Saving PAL volunteer finds fulfillment in animal rescue

After more than six decades of caring for abandoned and unwanted cats, Mary B. Clover is officially retired. For 65 years, Mary was dedicated to feeding and spaying/neutering homeless cats. For 25 of those years, the cats in Bluffton/Hilton Head were lucky to have Mary looking out for them, even fighting off crows, buzzards and raccoons so her cats could eat!

This role came naturally to Mary, who is a long-time supporter of Palmetto Animal League (PAL) and has been a lover of all animals since childhood, “I get my love of animals from my grandparents,” explains Mary. “I’ve loved cats, dogs, ducks and all wildlife. I even had a pet duck that I raised from a tiny little thing.”

A true pioneer in animal rescue, Mary worked at the forefront of the pet population problem. She started Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) before it was available in our community in an attempt, early on, to curb the overpopulation of cats. Over the years, as rescue groups and shelters came into existence, she began arranging for the kittens of feral cats to be socialized and adopted. “I’ve loved every minute of it,” shares Mary. “Caring for the cats has given me a reason to get up every day and do something good.”

Well into her 90’s today, it was time for Mary to pass the proverbial feeding spoon, so PAL organized a team of caregivers to pick up where she left off. They are carrying on the good works of one woman who, wholeheartedly, demonstrated a lifetime of compassionate care.

Mary is proof that no matter your age, you can use your passion and talents for good.

Consider getting involved. PAL needs folks who are able to ADOPT, FOSTER, VOLUNTEER or DONATE. With so many great ways to help the animals at PAL, do not let another day pass without seizing the opportunity to make a difference for homeless pets.

These are Lives Worth Saving. Join the No Kill Movement.
