THE FIRST HOSPICE INPATIENT UNIT IN SUGAR LAND

16 STATE-OF-THE-ART, PRIVATE INPATIENT SUITES DESIGNED TO FEEL LIKE HOME ™

WHAT IS HOSPICE? Hospice is where those with a terminal illness can spend their final days in peace, dignity, and comfort, surrounded by their loved ones while living wherever they call home. We view our work as a sacred honor and our patient-focused approach hinges on creating a plan of care that is tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual and their family.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS READY FOR HOSPICE? • Frequent calls to the doctor’s office for appointments • Missing doctor office appointments because patient is too sick to make the trip • Increased Emergency Room visits and/or hospitalizations • Weight loss in the past 6 months • Decreased mobility in the past 6 months • Management of patient is focused on maintaining comfort and quality of life • Patient cannot be cured of their primary disease • Patient may or may not be home bound; however requires additional medical services to remain at home.

WHAT IS INPATIENT HOSPICE? Inpatient Hospice is the most intense level of hospice care, often times requiring IV medications with frequent adjustments and monitoring for pain and symptom management. In contrast to an acute care hospital setting, this level of care will allow patients and family members to receive care and comfort in a home-like setting.

THE ALTUS HOSPICE MISSION The Mission of Altus Hospice is to provide professional care with a personal touch.

We will treat the disease process with medical expertise while emphasizing quality living, not only physically, but also psychosocially, emotionally and spiritually.

Comfort, compassion and calming presence are the gifts we bring to this service, and we are honored to walk with the patient and loved ones through this sacred time.

10. Accent your exterior with a new, colorful welcome mat, decorative flags, planter boxes and baskets of flowers.

11. Add dimension to porch ceilings with faux beams.

Butterfly Garden

Creating a

by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

S

outh Texas is home to several species of butterflies. These tiny, colorful creatures possess the power to capture the attention of young and old alike. Creating a butterfly garden is more than just planting colorful flowers to attract them.

Like any other creature, butterflies have specific needs when it comes to their habitat.

42

www.SRGserv.com

Here are a few plants that are sure to create a colorful, nectar-rendering, butterfly-friendly habitat right in your own backyard.

Blue sage is a native Texas perennial, drought-resistant and blooms in shades of purple and blue nearly year-round.

Texas lantana thrives in hot Texas temperatures. It produces bright colorful blossoms and attracts swallowtails, sulphurs and brush-foot butterflies.

Asclepias is also known as milkweed and comes in several varieties. The most common variety in Texas is also known as Antelope Horn. Tropical Milkweed is not native to Texas but is widely available in garden centers and blooms in bright bold colors.

Zinnias grow well in the Texas heat and are easy to grow from a seed. They are annuals, so be prepared to plant them each spring.

Buddleia (butterfly bush) usually bloom mid-July through frost, in vibrant shades of purple, red and white.

A butterfly garden will not only attract colorful creatures to your space, but will also create a colorful atmosphere in which you can relax and enjoy.

Don’t forget to feed the next generation of butterflies— the caterpillars! Here are some plants that will attract and nurture certain caterpillar species in Coastal South Texas: • Asclepias (milkweed) – Monarchs • Passion Vines – Fritillaries • Parsley – Black Swallowtail • Citrus – Giant Swallowtail • Pipevine – Pipevine Swallowtail

Must Have Legal Documents

by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

W

hether you’re a caregiver or interested in getting your own business in order, we’ve identified five recommended legal documents that every adult should have. There are many online resources that explain in further detail about each document. If you have an attorney, be sure to ask about these documents or there are online resources that provide a free template for you to create your own. Don’t wait until it’s too late—take a moment to get organized.

Advance Directive Also known as a living will or health care declaration/directive, this document outlines your wishes for medical treatments and life-sustaining measures, in the case that you are not able to communicate them verbally. Details might include a “do not resuscitate” order (DNR), the use of breathing machines, tube feeding or organ donation. Making these decisions in advance lets medical professionals know what measures to take and grants your loved ones peace of mind, should they have to communicate these decisions for you.

Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!

47

Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care While an advance directive is limited to end-of-life concerns, a durable power of attorney for health care accounts for all health care decisions in the case that you are incapable of making decisions for yourself. In this document, you are able to outline how your designated power of attorney should act. Their authority to make these decisions ends when you are once again capable of making your own decisions.

Last Will and Testament Many people know this document simply as a “will.� It outlines how your property (including digital property such as email accounts and blogs) should be distributed and to whom. Different states have different requirements for one’s will. In Texas your will must be signed by two witnesses.

Living Trust A living trust designates someone (trustee) to help manage and distribute your assets rather than going through the court system, as in a last will. This often prevents your last wishes from becoming public record. This document also designates terms in which the trustee would set into action, should you be unable to make decisions regarding your assets during and after your life.

Financial Power of Attorney This document designates someone (principal) to do business on your behalf, should you be unable to take care of necessary matters yourself. Tasks designated might include paying bills, selling property, managing assets or applying for medical benefits. Unlike a living trust, a financial power of attorney dies when you do.

What Level of Care is Right for You? Retirement Housing Apartment-like facilities that include living essentials such as meals and transportation. These often include facilities for various activities.

Assisted Living These communities are set up to provide residents help with daily activities and also usually offer some level of healthcare services.

Residential/Personal Care Homes Non-apartment facilities that provide assistance for residents with medication, hygiene, and simple tasks such as getting dressed. Typically a home setting.

Skilled Nursing/Rehab These facilities are licensed and equipped to provide residents with healthcare that meets the needs of more involved medical problems.

Alzheimer’s/Dementia Assistance Alzheimer’s facilities provide special programs and assistance for those with memory loss. Some may provide special security measures to prevent residents from wandering off during periods of disorientation.

Respite Care Facilities that provide Respite Care offer family and other caretakers a reprieve from the stress and work of everyday care of elderly persons who cannot perform or manage care for themselves.

Home Care Various types of at-home care, both medical and non-medical, that allow seniors to remain in their place of residence rather than having to travel back and forth or be admitted to a medical facility. A cost-effective alternative to hospital stays or Skilled Nursing facilities.

Senior Day Care Facilities that provide for the needs of seniors during daytime hours only.

Services typically include meals, social interaction, arts/crafts/entertainment, and stretching/gentle exercise. Centers often accommodate seniors with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. Day care allows the family to go to work or a much needed rest.

Hospice Care End of life care for the terminally ill, usually via visits in the home or facility of residence. Focus lies with pain management, comfort, and emotional support for the individual and family.

Care Management Care managers examine their clients’ needs and make recommendations regarding Home Care providers, the best type of housing for the individual, and other aspects of care that can be daunting for a senior or their family.

These recommendations are orchestrated into a comprehensive plan of care.

WHERE do you go from here?

by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

W

hen everyday tasks such as cooking or maintaining a house appear to be burdensome for a loved one, or signs of loneliness become prevalent, it may be time explore a new living situation. So, where do you go from here?

Eldercare professionals such as a geriatric care manager (GCM) might be a good place to start. They can be instrumental in helping determine the specific services your loved one may need and are also familiar with local options and associated costs. Most GCMs charge a fee; so be sure to get references and fee information before hiring one.

However, if you choose to do the research yourself, the first step is to research options available in your area. From there, you can begin to locate places that meet your specific criteria and the needs of your loved one. There are five major housing options to consider: living with a family member or friend; independent retirement communities; assisted living facilities; nursing homes; and continued care retirement communities.

Moving in with a family member or friend is an ideal option when it is convenient for both parties. This allows seniors to remain in a comfortable environment and maintain social relationships. This option is often the most affordable.

Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!

139

Home care providers can be considered in addition to or instead of this option. Home care services provide specialized non-medical care, as well as create respite opportunities for caregivers—allowing your loved one maximum freedom. Home care should not be confused with home health companies that provide medical assistance in the home.

Be sure to look for organizations that provide the type and level of care that is needed.

Independent retirement communities are housing options specifically designed for active aging adults who need no assistance with daily activities. This can range from apartments to townhouses and single family homes. This housing option gives seniors maximum independence. Retirement communities generally provide opportunities for socialization, such as games night in a centrally located place on the property. They are ideal for independent seniors looking to retire among people their own age and retain a social life. These communities, however, are not a viable option for those who need help with everyday tasks, such as cooking, cleaning or dressing.

Assisted living properties provide a low level of care for seniors who need additional help, but still wish to remain independent. Most are residence hall-style with a choice of single or double rooms. Housing options vary depending on location and can range from a single room to an individual apartment, with or without a kitchen. These properties can offer help with tasks such as dressing, bathing and cleaning, around the clock. In general, most places provide three meals per day, light transportation, 24-hour security, medication management and social activities. Be sure to ask each facility which services they provide.

Assisted living is typically not covered by insurance and most families use private pay options such as personal savings, pensions or social security to cover the costs. Because this option can be expensive, it is important to check your budget and make sure you or your loved one can handle the cost long-term.

There are a growing number of assisted living properties that specialize in Alzheimer’s and memory care. They provide similar services as a regular assisted living property, however they have trained staff in working with an Alzheimer’s resident’s special needs. In addition, they provide a safe, secure unit for their residents.

Skilled nursing facilities provide the highest level of care available.

Unlike assisted living, they maintain constant care, with a physician or trained nurse on call at all times. Skilled nursing facilities include residence hall-style housing, three meals per day, and help with dressing, bathing, eating and medication management.

Most provide recreational activities for residents and some provide rehab opportunities. This housing option is ideal for those who can no longer live independently and need 24-hour care. Many also offer temporary stay options for those who need constant care after hospitalization and wish to regain their independence post-recovery. Temporary nursing home stays are often covered by Medicare, but long-term or permanent stays are not.

Continued care retirement communities, also known as CCRCs, provide increasing levels of care as needs change. These communities are equipped for all levels of care, from completely independent housing options to constant care options. Seniors can live independently at the outset and transition into minimal care options or nursing care as their needs change. A major benefit is that your loved ones do not have to keep moving as their condition changes. Although cost plays a large factor with this option, it creates a stable environment for retiring and allows seniors to form and maintain social relationships.

Overall, choosing to transition your loved one into a different living environment is a big decision with many factors to consider. It is important to honestly assess your loved one’s financial situation, current care needs and how those factors may change in the next five to 10 years.

Helping Patients and Families to Choose the Best End-of-Life Care Option Provided by Houston Solari Hospice • Educate yourself on local hospices. Your doctor or local hospitals should be able to recommend hospice providers in your area. Be sure to take note whether the hospice providers you are considering also have inpatient hospice homes in the event that pain and symptoms become unmanageable and 24-hour care is needed.

• Contact the hospices. Compile a list of potential hospices to contact. Ask whether they are accredited, certified and licensed. If accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting body, such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the hospice has sought accreditation and is committed to providing quality care. State health departments certify hospices, guaranteeing that the facility meets safety and health regulations.

Licensing requirements vary by state and are generally overseen by its respective health department.

• Ask for and check references. Ask for references from professionals, such as a hospital or community social workers. Talk with these people about their experiences. Also check with the Better Business Bureau or the State Attorney General’s office to find out whether any complaints or lawsuits have been filed against the hospices on your list.

• Inquire about a preliminary evaluation and plan of care. As part of a patient’s preliminary evaluation, a hospice should determine the types of services needed for the patient. The evaluation should contain what the patient can and can’t do for themselves, consultation with family physicians already providing the patient with medical treatment and consultation with family members.

• Discuss the treatment plan process. After the preliminary evaluation, the hospice should develop a treatment plan that is carefully created with the patient and family and given to all service providers to ensure smooth coordination of care. The plan of care should be clearly written, with copies given to all loved ones involved. The plan should list specific duties, work hours and days, and contact information for the hospice care supervisor. Inquire how frequently the plan is reviewed and updated to accommodate any changing needs.

• Learn about the hospice staff. Hospice patients are cared for by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, clergy, volunteers and therapists. Ask about the patient-to-caregiver ratios to make sure that the right amount of care is received.

Ask about the continuity of care to determine whether or not the patient will have the same caregivers. This insight can give an indication how satisfied the hospice staff is or if there is a high turnover rate.

THE FIRST HOSPICE INPATIENT UNIT IN SUGAR LAND

16 STATE-OF-THE-ART, PRIVATE INPATIENT SUITES DESIGNED TO FEEL LIKE HOME ™

WHAT IS HOSPICE? Hospice is where those with a terminal illness can spend their final days in peace, dignity, and comfort, surrounded by their loved ones while living wherever they call home. We view our work as a sacred honor and our patient-focused approach hinges on creating a plan of care that is tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual and their family.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS READY FOR HOSPICE? • Frequent calls to the doctor’s office for appointments • Missing doctor office appointments because patient is too sick to make the trip • Increased Emergency Room visits and/or hospitalizations • Weight loss in the past 6 months • Decreased mobility in the past 6 months • Management of patient is focused on maintaining comfort and quality of life • Patient cannot be cured of their primary disease • Patient may or may not be home bound; however requires additional medical services to remain at home.

WHAT IS INPATIENT HOSPICE? Inpatient Hospice is the most intense level of hospice care, often times requiring IV medications with frequent adjustments and monitoring for pain and symptom management. In contrast to an acute care hospital setting, this level of care will allow patients and family members to receive care and comfort in a home-like setting.

THE ALTUS HOSPICE MISSION The Mission of Altus Hospice is to provide professional care with a personal touch.

We will treat the disease process with medical expertise while emphasizing quality living, not only physically, but also psychosocially, emotionally and spiritually.

Comfort, compassion and calming presence are the gifts we bring to this service, and we are honored to walk with the patient and loved ones through this sacred time.

Preparing and Presenting a Eulogy

By JOHN B. EARTHMAN

T

he purpose of a eulogy is to acknowledge and share information about a person’s life. It is a great honor for someone to present and it’s an important part of the grieving process for the presenter, as well as the audience.

A good place to start is to make a list of thoughts and memories you’d like to share. While others might not be comfortable or able to give their own eulogy, they might find great comfort in sharing memories with you that you could incorporate into the eulogy. Things you might include are stories, quotes, expressions of love or prayers, all of which can be delivered in a serious or humorous manner depending on what you feel is appropriate.

In an effort to have the audience connected and involved in your tribute, the eulogy can be compiled from private memories that your audience might not be aware of as well as personal traits and details of the loved one that all will remember. You will want to include any accomplishments or honors no matter how big or small that were especially important to your loved one. Memories shared should always acknowledge the person in a positive manner and recognize them for who they were accurately.

Once you are ready to write the eulogy, decide on how you will begin, then pick the main thoughts and memories that you wish to share and finally determine how you will close. You need to properly introduce yourself when you begin and have a summarizing statement to share when you close. You can read from your notes, but practice giving the eulogy and change any part that does not feel like natural conversation in your own words.

Presenting a eulogy can cause great anxiety. Stopping at any time to collect your thoughts or emotions and then continuing when you are ready is understandable and acceptable. If you decide that you cannot continue, simply skip to your final statement. It is the message about the impact of your loved that is important, not the delivery, so just be yourself.

Texas Law dictates that both birth and death certificates are deemed confidential for a set period of time. Birth certificates are confidential for 75 years, and death certificates are confidential for 25 years after the death has occurred. If a birth or death certificate is requested before this period of time elapses, certified copies of these documents can only be obtained by a qualified applicant.

A qualified applicant can be an immediate family member (by blood or marriage), a legal guardian, or the legal representative of the person for whom the document is requested. If you are not a qualified applicant, you may request a verification of a birth or death record.

180

Fees charged for copies of birth and death certificates by the different county offices may vary slightly – contact your local office about cost for copies of Birth and Death Certificates.

Certified copies of the birth and death certificates are issued with a state seal and are printed on security paper. Heirloom birth certificates have a different cost and are printed on special paper that boasts a design celebrating Texas. The heirloom certificate ($60) is only offered through Austin, Texas.

Funeral homes will supply certified copies of a death certificate for a small fee if requested at the time funeral arrangements are made.

It is recommended that you get at least twelve copies of the certificate and notify anyone with whom the deceased had an account.

VERIFICATION OF BIRTH AND DEATH The verification of a birth or death record is NOT a certified copy of the birth or death certificate, but a letter with the person’s name, date of occurrence, county where the birth or death took place and a state file number. Letters may not be available at all birth and death registrars. Verifications are available from 1903 to the present date.

Fees for birth and death verification (for regular mail or walk-in service) range from $22–$30. This fee is non-refundable for records that are not located. Additional fees will apply for faxing and overnight services.

Deceased Identity Theft To avoid identity theft of a deceased person, it is recommended that you take the following steps: • Scale back the obituary—don’t provide too much information.

• Notify banks and creditors.

• Contact credit reporting bureaus— request decedent’s credit report and flag as “deceased.”

• Report death to Social Security; they will flag decedent’s number as inactive. Also notify your local passport office, if applicable.

Help

by Jeff Carmack

is a Phone Call Away

Managing Editor, Texas Department of Aging and Disability

P

roviding care for a parent or an adult with a disability can be overwhelming, and many people – 2.7 million in Texas – find they need information, assistance and support.

This type of help is available from the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Three resources – Take Time Texas, 2-1-1 Texas and a Resource Sheet – take much of the guesswork (and hopefully much of the stress) out of finding help.

Take Time Texas The Take Time Texas (TTT) website is designed to help caregivers continue to provide support to their loved ones through respite care.

“Based on surveys, DADS learned that many caregivers do not know how or where to find respite care. Some do not even know what respite care is, or that it is available,” said Joyce Pohlman, DADS Access and Intake division. “Take Time Texas was created to help caregivers find respite more quickly and easily.”

184

www.SRGserv.com

The Take Time Texas website offers: • Statewide database of respite providers that caregivers can search to find nonprofit, commercial, faith-based and governmental respite providers.

• Content to help caregivers and providers resolve problems and improve caregiving.

• Resources to help respite providers, outreach materials, and information on best practices and training tools.

2-1-1 Texas 2-1-1 Texas, an HHSC program, helps Texans connect with the services, such as healthcare through Medicaid, food assistance and short-term financial help. 2-1-1 Texas offers accurate, well-organized and easy-to-find information from more than 60,000 state and local health and human services programs.

The free, anonymous information and referral line is answered by nationally certified specialists 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When callers dial 2-1-1, they are connected to area information centers in their region. Specialists have access to the most comprehensive database of community-based organizations, government agencies and nonprofits in Texas.

No matter where you live in Texas, you can call 2-1-1 and find information about resources in your local community. Texas 2-1-1 can be accessed online at www.211Texas.org, or by phone at 2-1-1.

Resource Sheet Developed by DADS for the Age Well Live Well program, this resource sheet covers topics that include Medicare and Medicaid, in-home assistance and home health care, caregiving services, legal services, transportation, veterans’ services and more.

Age Well Live Well program manager Holly Riley said, “Many people don’t realize the breadth of services available through the federal government and the state, much less local providers. We polled several state agencies and found the top 10 questions they were getting from consumers. The result is a resource guide founded upon real-world issues.” The sheet is updated at least annually to ensure the information is timely and accurate, Riley said.

For more information on getting help for an aging parent or someone with disabilities, go to www.dads.state.tx.us or contact your local Area Agency on Aging at 800-252-9240.
