I am always looking for ways to improve my memory. See below for suggestions from The Discovery Channel that I want to share.

• Seek Treatment for Depression• Get Moving• Visualization and Association • Pay Attention & Focus• The Name Game• Chunking – look for patterns and numbers associated with memorable things, then you can break a long list into more manageable chunks.

• Method of Loci – piggyback the information you need to remember on top of information that would be near impossible for you to forget.

• Use Your Environment – take the time to create a strong association with something in your surroundings.

• Practice Makes Perfect

It is important to stay active and keep our bodies fit as we age. However, it is often forgotten that this principle applies to our minds as well. As a caregiver, there is a simple way to help your loved one keep their mind

sharp: play games. Research has shown that playing card games and working on puzzles can lead to improved cognitive function in seniors, helping them to retain mental sharpness. Furthermore, “evidence suggests that people who spend long stretches of their days, three hours and more, engrossed in some mental activities like cards may be at reduced risk of developing dementia,” reported the New York Times. Card games, puzzles, and board games all provide older adults with entertainment while giving the brain a mental workout. Games such as concentration can also be used to help prevent memory loss. Research suggests that challenging the mind keeps brain cells healthy and therefore less prone to damage, reported CBS News. Socialization is another key benefit games offer seniors. Engaging your loved one in a round of cribbage or helping him or her with a jigsaw puzzle is great way to spend time together, while also stimulating the mind. Organize a weekly or monthly game night, and try classic games such as bridge, cribbage, backgammon, rummy, or Scrabble. Seniors can also exercise their minds alone with crossword puzzles, word searches, Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles, or by playing solitaire. As the old adage goes – use it or lose it. Help your loved one stay mentally sharp – and get ahead of the game yourself – with something as simple as a game of cards.

Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide when contacting our advertisers! 3�

Many people think ahead to the future with the same single thought – “I’m going to stay in my home forever,” or “I will never go to a nursing home or other alternative type of senior housing.” However, few people ask the question “How accommodating will my home be as I grow older?” The truth is that most homes are designed for healthy, active adults; not for accommodating the needs of aging occupants. However, with the right plan, most homes can become safe and accessible for occupants of any age.

The remodeling of a home can be unnecessarily stressful. When remodeling for accessibility, the question is not only “What do I want?” More importantly, it is “What do I need?” The right approach in the planning stage will help alleviate the potential for costly mistakes and help to insure that you achieve the desired outcome. It is best to take the time up front to fully assess your current needs and to prepare for what you feel your needs will be in the future. Every successful project needs a good blueprint and a good blueprint starts with thoughtful answers to serious questions.

Start by considering the concerns and challenges of today. Vision, hearing, walking, weakness and lack of agility are common issues for an aging adult. Are these problems temporary, on-going or urgent? What does your family history tell you? Do you need assistance or assistive equipment? Do you want to stay in your own home permanently or do you see a time when you will feel happier and more secure in an Assisted Living Facility or Group Home? Are doorways and hallways wide enough for a wheelchair or walker? Are interior stairs becoming obstacles?

Aging In PlaceHow To Age ComfortablyIn Your Home

By Eric Hansen, Healthlink Construction

Continued on next page

3� www.SRGserv.com

What changes or modifications do you see as necessary now or in the future in order to stay in your own home?

These are tough questions and are all too often put off until there has been a sudden, life changing event which brings them to the center of attention and requiring immediate action. However, like a good insurance policy, a little planning now will pay huge dividends in the future. One of the most common safety improvement areas in the home is the bathroom. If you are planning a remodel, have the contractor add blocking in the walls to install grab bars in the future. If you need grab bars now and don’t have blocking to screw into, use a fastener designed specifically for installing grab bars without blocking such as those made by WingIt Innovations.

A simple, affordable, and often overlooked solution in the bathroom is a bathtub modification. The TubcuT™ modification converts a bathtub to a walk-in shower in less than a day and at a fraction of the cost involved with replacing a bathtub with a traditional walk-in shower.

Another common limitation in most homes is

the width of bathroom and closet doors. These are the narrowest doors in the home and frequently will not accommodate wheelchairs. Some doors, especially in master bathrooms with toilets having their own small closet-like space, are so narrow that they are difficult even for walkers. If you are planning for ultimately having in-home healthcare assistance, these doors may need to be widened to accommodate wheel chairs, walkers, or to create an environment that is accessible for the occupant and a caregiver providing assistance.

These are just a few of the simple, yet specialized modifications that can be done in the home to make it a safer, more accessible place to age gracefully. When you are ready to make home modifications such as grab bars, walk-in showers, leaning rails, or wheel chair ramps, be sure to use a contractor who understands your needs and has the knowledge and experience to do the job right. The National Association of Home Builders, in association with AARP has created a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) designation. CAPS certified contractors can be found at www.NAHB.org.

Staying in your home has many benefits – the greatest of which is maintaining your independence – and the best way to assure that independence is to start early. Basic home modifications are generally not a great expense and, with a plan in place, your future needs can be addressed before they become urgent.

When a patient goes for a hearing test they can expect to be seated in a special soundproof room. The audiologist will evaluate how they hear a series of sounds as well as

their ability to understand speech. If the patient has a hearing loss, the audiologist will demonstrate some hearing devices

programmed specifically for the patient’s hearing loss. This will allow the patient to hear with a hearing device programmed for their needs. Most digital hearing aids can range from $1200-3200 each. Hearing aids are like computers in that the more expensive hearing devices have faster processing capabilities. The more expensive hearing aids are quicker at adjusting so they are better at processing sounds in noisy environments. In the past, hearing aids were simply basic broadband amplifiers with fixed analog circuits. There was not much that audiologists could adjust if patients did not like the sound quality of their hearing aids. New hearing devices have computer chips and are digital circuits. These instruments are programmed specifically for the patient’s hearing loss. They constantly sample the environment and make adjustments as the sounds are processed through the instrument. They automatically increase or decrease the volume of sounds. They decrease background noise while at the same time increase the speech signal, thereby helping patients hear better in difficult listening environments. Because these devices can process sound quickly, patients are not limited to fixed programs or settings to deal with special listening situations such as listening to music or hearing in noisy environments like restaurants. For active adults, new hearing instruments also offer wireless connectivity that allows audio from mobile and landline phones, TV and other entertainment devices to stream directly into the user’s hearing device. Changes in your hearing are usually subtle and may occur gradually so it is often difficult to notice them. Be sure to have your hearing checked at the first sign of hearing loss. Ten years ago, there were fewer options for mild hearing loss, but due to improvements in technology, that is no longer the case. There is no reason for anyone to allow untreated hearing loss to make it difficult to keep up with conversations or to join in everyday activities. With a variety of hearing instruments available today, there is a solution to benefit every type of hearing loss.

Stress Management is a skill for people of all ages because stress is a fact of life. How we manage the stress

we experience will create our quality of life. Stress is a psychos-physiological response to living. It impacts our body, mind and spirit. No matter what age we are, our bodies respond to stress with physiological changes including muscle tension, increased heart rate and rapid breathing. Hormones (including adrenaline and cortisol) are released to prepare our body to meet a threat or challenge. Not all stress is bad – when our body is activated to meet a challenge, it can increase performance. However, if stress is excessive or prolonged it can create adverse health issues. The stress response creates tension in our bodies. Increased tension in our bodies can increase pain, aggravate illnesses and contribute to other illnesses ranging from colds to heart disease and strokes.

Our mind determines what we experience as a threat or challenge. What is threatening or challenging to one person may not be so to another. Our experiences, our temperaments, our coping style all impact what we experience as stress. Stress can impact your mind by affecting memory, concentration and problem-solving skills. It is hard to think straight if you are experiencing a lot of stress. Stress can impact your emotions. It can manifest as anger or anxiety or self doubt. If stress levels are not managed well it can lead to depression and other mental health issues.

During times of stress we may question the meaning and purpose of our lives. It can be an important time to take stock of your values, your priorities and your lifestyle habits. Stress can be the catalyst to begin a deeper spiritual inquiry in our lives.

It’s Never Too Late to Improve the Quality of Your LifeManaging Stress in the Latter Part of LifeBy: Kris Kerlin, LPC-S


As a mature adult there are circumstances in life that are specific to growing older that may be the source of stress in your life. Aging, retirement, changes in living arrangements, illness, changes in independence, death of a spouse or a loved one, caring for a loved one, lack of social support, mobility issues, regret, concern about personal safety and financial concerns can create stress. The good news is that our circumstances do not have to dictate our quality of life. Stress management skills can help you manage your response to circumstances so that you can experience peace on the inside regardless and sometimes, despite, what is happening on the outside of your life.

Here are 7 Stress Management Skills that can be practiced at any age:1. Breathe Deeply and Slowly: One of the first things that happens when we are stressed is that our breathing becomes more rapid. Deep breathing from our diaphragm is a signal to the body to slow down and helps to invoke the relaxation response. Over time many adults adapt a habit of breathing shallow breaths from their chest. Bringing conscious attention to your breathing and noticing whether you are breathing fast or slow, shallow or deep and from your chest or your diaphragm is the beginning of stress management. For diaphragmatic breathing, your stomach should inflate when you breathe in and when you breathe out your stomach pulls in toward your back.

2. Practice an Attitude of Gratitude: Gratitude can turn any external circumstance or event into a secondary matter. When we focus on what we have to be grateful for it helps us shift perspective on the things that are causing stress in our lives. It can also help us to connect with a larger meaning that extends beyond our current circumstances.

Managing Stress in the Latter Part of Life


3. Focus your thoughts on what you can influence: Spending time thinking about matters outside of our control can be an instant stressor. First, determine whether you can change the thing that is causing you stress. For example, if you are retired and having a difficult time adjusting to life without the structure of work, you can create a routine for yourself that fits your life now. Even if we can’t change the situation, person or event that is happening in our lives, we can, with practice influence how we think about the stressor. None of us can change the fact that we are aging, but we can focus on the rewards of growing older and the unique gifts of this time in our lives. Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and when we change the way we think about something, our feelings about it and our behaviors often change too.

4. Feel your feelings: Feelings are friendly even though they may be uncomfortable. They give us information about how we are doing, how we are impacted by people and events and what is important to us. It can be tempting to avoid feelings if they are uncomfortable or painful. Feelings of loss, sadness, anger, anxiety can feel unwelcome. Stored feelings can cause a chronic stress reaction. Find a way to feel your feelings – journal, talk to someone you trust, cry, create art, do something physical. Express your feelings.

5. Move your Body: Our physical body is designed to move. Movement flushes stress related hormones out of our body and promotes healthy physiological reactions. Ten minutes a day of physical activity or exercise has been shown to lower blood pressure, body mass index and improve overall health. The sooner that you get up and move after you feel stress, the better. It is like cleaning up a spill as soon as it hits the carpet.

6. Let Go and Let God: Things in life happen that are outside our control. Acknowledging that we can’t control everything and finding meaning and purpose beyond ourselves can alleviate stress. Whatever spiritual or religious beliefs, practices and traditions you have, a connection with your spiritual life is good for your health. In addition to the wisdom of the ages, there is now a substantial amount of research that supports the health benefits of spirituality.

7. Laugh: We’ve heard that laughter is the best medicine and it does in fact, help us to relieve stress. Laughter helps us find delight, experience joy and release tension. The first documented case of humor positively affecting disease was in 1964 when Norman Cousins, published “Anatomy of an Illness.” Humor allows us to shift perspective about a situation, expresses emotions and increases respiration and circulation. Tell a joke or read a joke, watch a funny TV show, see the humor in your situation. SRG

How we manage the stress we experience will create our quality of life.


Maintaining a sense of independence is critical, which means that assistance may be required due to recovering from an injury, long-term disability or just normal aging. With so many different forms of mobility equipment to choose from, it can sometimes be overwhelming to make the right selection. Before choosing the right equipment it is always a great idea to “try it before you buy it.”

Consider the following when choosing: Canes are a great option for those seeking more balance as they walk. Individuals that have very little problem with moving around are the best candidates for a cane. A standard cane, which has a single tip, can be used by those who need just a little extra balance. Those that need to bear their full weight can opt for a quad cane which has four tips and will give more balance during movement. For those seeking a little more from their canes, a specialty cane, such as one with a seat attached might be a consideration. Walkers are great for those who are still mobile, but have a higher risk of falling while walking. A standard walker without wheels is the most stable option. However, for a smoother form of movement, a walker with wheels can get one from point A to point B faster. Manual wheelchairs are great for individuals that have very limited overall mobility. This type of equipment comes in standard weight or light weight for those unable to lift and transport heavy equipment. Power wheelchairs are ideal for people that have very limited mobility and are unable to self-propel in a manual wheelchair. For those that need something more customized for specific disabilities such as a quadriplegia, a custom wheelchair may be the best solution. Be sure to ask what options are available.

Mobility is the ultimate necessity for independence. Though choosing the right form of mobility equipment may seem challenging and overwhelming, with the proper evaluation of needs and the help of a healthcare provider, independence is only a simple selection way!

5 Reasons to Adopt a Senior Pet Provided by Friends For Life

W hether enjoying retirement, experiencing an empty nest or navigating a new stage of life, your golden years can be the

ideal time to adopt a pet. Some may think this could be an added responsibility to the challenges of getting older but by adopting an animal in your equivalent stage of life, it can not only ease the task but create a special bond for the both of you.

Here are five great reasons to adopt a senior pet into a senior home.

Energy Level Kittens and puppies are cute but can come with high energy and mandatory training. Adult animals have less of that youthful exuberance (also known as extreme drape-climbing, middle of the night yowling and vase-tipping) and are content just to relax in your company. Many no longer require the amount of physical play needed in earlier years and will not get into mischief out of boredom.

Whiskers with Wisdom


Development When you adopt a mature pet, you know exactly what you are getting. Before adoption, you can see their fully developed personality and size to assess if the animal is the right pet for you.

Established BehaviorFull-grown animals can be versed in basic household manners. Senior cats are often litter box trained and dogs are able to relay various needs to their owners without added training.

Benefits for YouThere is nothing like coming home to someone unfailingly delighted to see you! In addition to lifting overall morale and providing companionship, pets can help you stay active and vital. Studies have shown that independently living seniors with pets tend to have better physical and mental health than those who do not. This can lead to less depression, social isolation and anxiety.

Their Needs Silver animals can be the hardest to place in good homes. Many have been in the shelter program for an extended time but are perfectly healthy, behaved and adoptable. Dogs and cats benefit from living in a senior’s home because they receive extra attention as the retired have added time to cater to the animal.

Shelter animals, especially seniors, typically know they are being given a second chance. They have lots of love to give and will continually show their gratitude for being taken into your home. As you come into your seasoned years, consider adopting a senior pet – it could be the ideal forever friendship.

Friends For Life, Houston’s fastest growing No Kill animal adoption and rescue organization, is dedicated to offering No Kill solutions to the animals of Houston. www.nokill1.org.

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

Residential Care

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 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.

What is the best choice?

Senior Housing

It can be hard deciding when it’s time to explore a new living situation for a loved one. When everyday tasks such as cooking or maintaining a house appear to be burdensome, or signs of loneliness become prevalent, it may be

time to consider other options. So, where do you go from here?

Consider hiring a geriatric care manager (GCM) who is experienced in the different levels of senior care and can assist you with choosing the right one matched to your specific needs. They are usually familiar with local options including their associated costs and can be instrumental in helping determine the types of services your loved one may need. Most GCM’s charge a fee so be sure to get references and fee information before hiring one.

If you are prepared to do the research yourself, then the first step is to become educated on what options and choices are available. From there, you can begin to locate places in your area to find one that meets your specific needs and criteria. There are five major housing options to consider: living with a family member or friend, independent retirement communities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, or continued care retirement communities.

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

Home care providers should also be considered as part of this option. Home care services assist caregivers by providing specialized non-medical care as well as

110 www.SRGserv.com

create respite opportunities for caregivers, all of which allow a senior maximum freedom. Not to be confused with home health companies who provide medical home care assistance. Be sure to look for those 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. 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 a localized clubhouse or game nights. They are ideal for independent seniors looking to retire near people their own age and retain their social lives. However, communities are not a viable option for those who need help with everyday tasks, such as cooking or cleaning.

Assisted living facilities provide a low level of care for those who need additional

help, but still wish to remain independent. Most are residence hall style with single or double rooms. However, housing options vary depending on the location and can range from a single room to an individual apartment, some with kitchens. Help with tasks such as dressing, bathing and cleaning is provided, and additional help is available around the clock. In general, most places provide three meals per day, transportation, 24-hour security, medication management and social activities. Be sure to ask each facility which services they provide.

Assisted living facilities are usually 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 parent can handle the cost long-term.

Skilled nursing homes provide the highest level of care available. Unlike assisted living facilities, 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 managing medications. Most will also provide recreational activities for their residents as well.


“

”

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 asses your loved one’s financial situation, their current care needs and how those factors may change in the next five to 10 years.

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.

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.

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 six 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.

Angel Flight South Central has been providing free air transportation for

more than twenty years for people in need of medical treatment not

available to them locally.

Our pilots have taken to the skies more than 30,000 times on behalf of people in need and have contributed more than $30 million of their own dollars through

the operating costs of their aircraft.

Our vision is that no one in our service area is denied medical treatment simply

because of distance.
