Home Care Definitions:Cardiac Care refers to services including patient assessment, specific diet information, and management of the disease process, medication management and education. Cardiac rehabilitation is a program designed to help a person with heart disease return to health and modify risk factors to prevent further heart damage.
Diabetic Management refers to services including patient assessment, diet information, management of the disease process, medication management and education on all of the above. Services are provided by a Registered Nurse under the supervision of an M.D. Some agencies may employ certified diabetic nurse instructors or cardiac care specialty RN’s.
Home Health Care includes skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language therapy and medical social services. A home health care agency may choose to be medicare certified to be reimbursed for their services. Home health agengies may also teach you how to care for yourself.
Hospice is a comprehensive program of care to patients and families facing a life threatening illness. Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment. The dying are comforted. Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided. Very few Home Health Agencies are also licensed for Hospice care.
In-Home Care/Personal Care is care related to activities of daily living, including: mobility, eating, toileting, bathing and personal hygiene, dressing and grooming or cognition support. These services are typically not covered by medical insurance and do not require a physician’s order.
Intravenous Therapy is any medical treatments/medications that need to be introduced to the body via a patient’s veins. Numerous IV Therapies can be provided in-home under supervision of a MD. Some of these include: inter-infective/antibiotic therapies, hydration therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and central line care and maintenance.
Medicaid Certified A joint Federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid Certified facilities can offer services to individuals receiving Medicaid benefits in exchange for reimbursement from Medicaid. Some people qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (these people are called “dual eligibles”).
Medical social services are assistance with social and emotional concerns related to an illness, including counseling or help finding community resources.
Medicare Certified facilities can offer services to individuals receiving Medicare benefits in exchange for reimbursement from Medicare. A Physicians order is required to be reimbursed by Medicare. Medicare is a Federal insurance health insurance program for those 65 and over, or who meet other criteria.

Nurse Delegated Tasks A licensed registered nurse may delegate specific nursing care tasks to qualified nursing assistants in a community-based and in-homecare settings. One task taught and delegated to one caregiver for one client. Before delegating a task, the registered nurse delegator must determine that specific criteria are met and ensure that the patient is in a stable and predictable condition.
Psychiatric Services refers to the agency's ability to offer services related to psychiatric support with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness. Services may include counseling or administering of medications.
Respite Care is short-term or temporary. It is designed to give families a break from the stress of daily caregiving. Respite care can be for a few hours, overnight, or for days. The amount of care changes with the needs of the family and the ill or disabled person.
Telehealth is a developing application of clinical healthcare, where medical information is transferred and assessment derived through interactive audiovisual media. Telemedicine can also be used to conduct examinations and remote medical procedures, such as: tracking blood sugar, automated blood pressure and weight checks.
Therapy Services (OT, PT, RT, ST)
Occupational Therapy, (OT) refers to services to assess and treat patients to help them develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. Occupational therapists help clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function.
Physical Therapy (PT) refers to services for the treatment and rehabilitation process where a physical therapist will often stretch, strengthen, facilitate muscles, challenge balance, test coordination abilities, teach home exercise programs to enhance basic mobility skills; to help lessen disability and pain and improve overall function and quality of life.
Respiratory Therapy (RT) refers to services for care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system. It may include the therapeutic use of medical gases and their equipment, humidification, aerosols, ventilator support, bronchi pulmonary drainage and exercise & respiratory rehabilitation.
Speech Therapy (ST) refers to services to assess and treat speech and swallowing disorders. Speech therapy can treat speech, language, cognitive skills or swallowing.
Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse (WOCN)WOC nurses have advanced training in acute and chronic wound care, as well as the physical, emotional and social issues of patients with ostomies (those who have had some kind of bowel or bladder diversion), stomas, acute and chronic wounds, and incontinence (those with bladder and bowel control and associated skin care issues).

Volunteer ombudsmen are needed in your community! Volunteer Ombudsmen are resident advocates. They ensure that the concerns of residents of long-term care and residential facilities are heard and addressed. They advocate for quality of care and improvements to Oregon’s long-term care and residential facility systems. The Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman provides Volunteer Ombudsmen with training, certification and continuing support. See how you can make a difference by reading below, calling us at 800-522-2602 and visiting us on the web at www.oregon.gov/ltco.
The Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for the rights of Oregonians living in licensed long-term care and residential facilities. The office consists of:
The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, a free, confidential advocacy program available to residents, families, facility staff and the public. Ombudsmen advocate for residents of nursing facilities, residential care and assisted living facilities, and adult foster care homes. Complaints are investigated and resolved by professional ombudsmen and trained volunteers assigned to facilities.
The Residential Facilities Ombudsman Program, available in late 2015, is a free, confidential advocacy program for persons with mental health conditions and persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities who live in residential facilities. Ombudsmen assist residents, families, facility staff, and the public by advocating for residents, addressing resident concerns, investigating problems, and consulting about the residential facility system.
The Oregon Public Guardian Program is a new statewide program that will serve as a court-appointed guardian and/or conservator for adults with limited decision-making ability. Services will be limited to persons at significant risk of abuse or neglect and who have no responsible family member or friend to serve as their guardian or conservator, nor the resources for a private guardian or conservator. It is presently recruiting for professional staff.

Sometimes it is hard to tell that you might have Parkinson’s disease. The early symptoms are mild and could have other causes making it challenging even for experts to confirm an early diagnosis.
Some of the more common early signs of Parkinson’s disease are indicated below. If you are noticing these warning signs and have unexplained symptoms, tell your doctor and ask for an evaluation. Many of these symptoms are normal, caused by medications or other conditions. An expert will be able to evaluate and help you determine their cause.
1. Tremor or Shaking: Tremor or shaking of limbs is a common early sign of Parkinson’s.
2. Small Handwriting: A sudden change in handwriting, such as smaller letter size, may be a sign of Parkinson’s.
3. Loss of Smell: Sense of smell can be changed by a cold, flu or stuffy nose, but ask your doctor if it persists.
4. Trouble Sleeping: Even in sleep, Parkinson’s signs can be detected with sudden movements and thrashing while deeply asleep.
5. Trouble Moving or Walking: Stiffness and rigidity that doesn’t go away when you move or walk.
6. Constipation: If you do not have enough water or fiber in your body, it can cause problems in the bathroom. Also some medications cause
constipation. Speak with your doctor if you are concerned.
7. A Soft Voice: While not always an early symptom, a very soft or hoarse sounding voice might be caused by Parkinson’s disease.
8. Masked Face: If others comment that you have a serious, depressed or mad look on your face, even when you are not in a bad mood it could be related to PD.
9. Dizziness or Fainting: Feeling dizzy or fainting can be signs of low blood pressure and can also be linked to Parkinson’s disease.
10. Stooping Over: Many people with Parkinson’s experience stooping, leaning or slouching when standing.
No single one of these signs means that you should worry about Parkinson’s disease. If you have multiple indications or are concerned, you should make an appointment to talk to your doctor.
For more information about Parkinson’s disease and local services to help, contact Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon at 800-426-6806. www.parkinsonsresources.org.

1. Keep a Positive Attitude
Alzheimer’s disease, and memory loss in general, is often associated with suffering, loss of mind, loss of independence and disability. This negative attitude not only hurts the people affected, but also discourages their families from confiding in others or getting the support they need. By accepting changes as they happen and adopting new coping skills you can maintain balance in your life, be more empowered and feel more positive.
2. Be Informed and Communicate Openly
Gathering more information will help relieve your anxiety and stress. Learning about what to expect, and sharing thoughts and information with family and friends can help you feel more in control. When you need assistance, don’t hesitate to call on family, friends, caregivers, physicians or support groups – they are there to help.
3. Do the Things You Love
For the person with memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease, enjoyable activities that draw upon personal interests, talents, and strengths can reduce stress or agitation. Favorite past times that help maintain social contact with friends and family and offer social, mental and physical stimulation can greatly improve quality of life. Memory loss or a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease should not be the end of pleasurable activities, so continue to participate in favorite hobbies and interests.
4. Stay Connected and Active
Be open and direct with people and don’t be afraid to tell your story and share the realities of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease. Taking control like this will help you feel more comfortable and empowered. Exercise can also have a positive impact on emotional health, by releasing stress and promoting personal enjoyment.
5. Be Good to Yourself
Your physical health is more important than ever. Eating well, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and personal support are important to overall health. Taking care of these needs will help both you and your loved ones cope better with the challenge of living with memory loss and dementia. Also, be sure to manage existing medical conditions, take medications as directed and keep scheduled doctors’ appointments.
6. Plan for the Future
It’s important to plan for the future. This is especially true for families who have a loved one with memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. If planning is done early, the person with the disease may be able to participate more in making decisions about health care, financial arrangements and legal matters.

ces Guardianships & Conservatorships
and How to Avoid ThemWhat is a Guardianship?
A Guardianship is a public proceeding established with the court to appoint someone to handle the medical and personal affairs of a minor or incapacitated adult.
What is a Conservatorship?
A Conservatorship is a public proceeding established with the court to appoint someone to handle the financial affairs of a minor or incapacitated adult.
Who Can Petition to Be a Guardian or Conservator?
A family member, agency or other interested person may petition the court to be a Guardian or Conservator in the event that an individual cannot make decisions for themselves.
How Can I Avoid a Guardianship or Conservatorship?
The process of establishing a Guardianship or Conservatorship for a loved one is not only costly and time consuming, but emotionally difficult as well. However, consulting with an elder law attorney and planning ahead can ensure that a Guardianship or Conservatorship is not necessary in the event of your incapacity. Working with an elder law attorney to prepare a Durable Power of Attorney and an Advance Directive for Health Care can help avoid the necessity of a Guardianship or Conservatorship. You may also consult with an elder law attorney to see if a Revocable or Irrevocable Living Trust would be appropriate for your circumstances.
Durable Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney is a document that allows you to appoint another person to manage your financial and personal affairs, even in the event of incapacity. This person is called your “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”.
Advance Directive for Health Care
An Advance Directive for Health Care is a document which allows you to appoint a “health care representative” to make health care decisions for you in the event that you are unable to make decisions for yourself. An Advance Directive for Health Care also provides instructions to your physician on the type of care you wish to receive, as well as whether or not you wish you receive life sustaining treatment, such as tube feeding.
Conclusion
By consulting with an experienced elder law attorney to prepare a Durable Power of Attorney and Advance Directive for Health Care, you may be able to avoid the costs and emotional stress of a Guardianship or Conservatorship. Revocable and Irrevocable Living Trusts also offer many benefits, including eliminating the need for a Guardianship or Conservatorship. Planning ahead and the preparation of a Durable Power of Attorney and an Advance Directive for Health, or a Revocable or Irrevocable Living Trust allows you to decide in advance who you wish to manage your medical and financial affairs in the event that you are unable to do so yourself.

What Is a Stroke?
A stroke happens when blood can’t flow to a part of the brain. When the brain doesn’t get the oxygen and nutrients it needs from the blood, its cells are damaged or begin to die. If brain cells are only hurt, they sometimes can be repaired. But brain cells that have died can’t be brought back to life. This means that the brain may stop sending signals to other parts of the body that control things like speaking, thinking, and walking.
There are two major types of strokes. The most common kind (ischemic) is caused by blood clots or the narrowing of a blood vessel (artery) leading to the brain. The clot keeps blood from flowing into other regions of the brain and prevents needed oxygen and nutrients from reaching brain cells in these regions. The second major kind of stroke (hemorrhagic) happens when a broken blood vessel (artery) causes bleeding in the brain. This break also stops oxygen and nutrients from reaching brain cells.
A Stroke Is an Emergency. Call 911.
Never ignore the warning signs of stroke.
Call 911 RIGHT AWAY if you see or have any of these warning signs:
Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg-especially on one side of the body
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden problems seeing in one eye or both eyes
Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, or trouble walking
Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Don’t Ignore The Signs!
The warning signs of a stroke may last only a few minutes and then go away. When this happens, it could be a mini-stroke, which is called a TIA (transient ischemic attack). This is also a medical emergency that requires attention right away. An unrecognized and untreated TIA can be followed within hours by a major disabling stroke. Always pay attention to any stroke symptoms, even if they are fleeting.
What if it is a Stroke?
Recovery from a stroke is most successful if treatment begins within the first 3 hours after symptoms appear. The clot-busting drug tPA can greatly lower the damage caused by a stroke, but it must be given within the 3 hour time frame. Getting to the hospital as soon as possible allows time for a CT scan of the brain. This scan will show whether tPA is the right treatment. Only patients with ischemic stroke, caused by a clot, are candidates for this treatment. The doctor will diagnose stroke based on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and medical tests that let doctors look closely at the brain to see the type and location of the stroke.

There are many different ways to help people recover from a stroke. Drugs and physical therapy work to improve balance, coordination, and other deficits from the stroke such as speech and language problems. Occupational therapy can make it easier to do things like bathing and cooking. Many therapies start in the hospital and continue at home.
A family doctor can provide follow-up care. Progress is different for each person. Some people recover fully soon after a stroke. Others take months or even years. Sometimes the damage is so serious that therapy cannot help at all.
Lower Your Risk of Stroke
Talk to your doctor about what you can do to lower your risk of stroke. Even if you’re in perfect health, follow these important suggestions:
Control your blood pressure. Have your blood pressure checked often. If it is high, follow your doctor’s advice to lower it. Treating high blood pressure lowers the risk of both stroke and heart disease.
Stop smoking. Smoking is linked to increased risk for stroke. Quitting smoking at any age lowers the risk for stroke as well as for a lot of other serious diseases.
Exercise regularly. Activities such as brisk walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, and yard work lower the risk of both stroke and heart disease. Researchers think that exercise may make the heart stronger and improve blood flow. Before you start a vigorous
exercise program, be sure to check with your doctor.
Eat healthy foods. Eat foods that are low in fats, cholesterol, and saturated fatty acids. Include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet.
Control your diabetes. If you have diabetes, work with your doctor to get it under control. Untreated diabetes can damage blood vessels and lead to a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis). This narrows arteries and blocks normal blood flow. A blocked artery will lead to a stroke.

Every night, almost 200,000 U.S. veterans sleep on the streets and sadly, some will still be homeless when they pass away. In an effort to ensure that all veterans receive a proper burial with military honors regardless of their status in society, Howell, Edwards, Doerksen Funeral Home has joined more than 35 cities across the country in offering the Homeless Veteran Burial Program.
Since January 1st, Howell, Edwards, Doerksen has proudly cared for 10 homeless/unclaimed veterans who had no family to honor their lives and no means to pay for a burial. In addition to arranging for a full military burial services at Willamette National Cemetery, each homeless veteran cared for in Salem is honored with a public memorial service at the funeral home officiated by Chaplain Bob Weinberger, US Army Veteran and attended by the Patriot Guard Riders and others from the community.
Each homeless veteran is dressed in clothing donated by the community, placed in a casket provided by the funeral home and honored individually with military honors from their respective branch of the service. The flag that drapes the casket is presented to funeral attendant, Ron McFadden, USAF (Retired) and Vietnam Veteran and are proudly encased and displayed.
Finally, the names of each homeless veteran cared for are engraved on a Heroes Memorial located at Belcrest Memorial Park so that the Salem Community can
continue to honor the sacrifice made for God and Country. The memorial will be dedicated this coming Veteran’s Day.
“We take a lot of pride in caring for our Nation’s Heroes, especially when they have no one else to honor their service and sacrifice” said Mindy Rocha-Barella, Funeral Home Manager and 2013 Oregon Military Spouse of the Year. “They wore the uniform, they sacrificed for our country. It is our responsibility to ensure they are respectfully honored when it’s time to lay them to rest. That is how we chose to honor our veterans.”
Dignity Memorial works closely with local veteran organizations, government agencies, medical examiners, law enforcement and medical establishments to identify and care for those veterans lost in the safety net with no one to claim them or assume responsibility. They never turn away a veteran in need and they take complete responsibility for funeral and cemetery arrangements and expenses.
It is so important to ensure that those veterans who are lost and forgotten; but served our country in time of need are remembered, honored and saluted for the sacrifices made.

A Partnership
How well you and your doctor talk to each other is one of the most important parts of getting good health care. Unfortunately, talking with your doctor isn't always easy. In the past, the doctor typically took the lead and the patient followed. Today, a good patient-doctor relationship is a partnership. You and your doctor can work as a team.
Creating a basic plan before you go to the doctor can help you make the most of your visit. The tips in this article will make it easier for you and your doctor to cover everything you need to talk about.
Make a List of Your Symptoms
Talking about your health means sharing information about how you feel. Sometimes it can be hard to remember everything that is bothering you during your doctor visit. Making a list of your symptoms before your visit will help you not forget to tell the doctor anything.
Symptoms can be physical, such as pain, fever, a lump or bump, unexplained weight gain or loss, change in energy level, or having a hard time sleeping. Symptoms can also involve your thoughts and your feelings. For example, you would want to tell your doctor if you are often confused, or if you feel sad a lot.
What to Include
When you list your symptoms, be
specific. Your list should include:
what the symptom is
when it started
what time of day it happens and how long it lasts
how often it happens
anything that makes it worse or better
anything it prevents you from doing
List Your Medications
Your doctor needs to know about ALL the medications you take. Medications include
prescription drugs
over-the-counter (non-prescription) drugs
vitamins, herbal remedies or supplements
laxatives
eye drops
Sometimes doctors may ask you to bring all your medications in a bag to your visit. Other doctors suggest making a list of all your medications.
Note Dosages, Frequency, Side Effects
If you do make a list of the medications you take, do not forget to write down how much you take and how often you take it. Make sure to tell the doctor if a dose has changed or if you are taking a new medicine since your last visit.

Write down or bring all your medications even if you think that one or some of them are not important. The doctor needs to know everything you take because sometimes medicines cause problems when taken together. Also, sometimes a medicine you take for one health problem, like a headache, can cause another health problem to get worse. Write down any medication allergies you have and any side effects you have had with the medicines you take. Also, write down which medications work best for you.
To provide the best care, your doctor must understand you as a person and know what your life is like.
Do You Use Assistive Devices?
Be sure to let your doctor know if you use any assistive devices to help you in your daily activities. Assistive devices can help you see, hear, stand, reach, balance, grasp items, go up or down stairs, and move around. Devices used by older adults may include canes, walkers, scooters, hearing aids, reachers, grab bars, and stair lifts.
What Are Your Everyday Habits?
Be prepared to tell your doctor about where you live, if you drive or how you get around, what you eat, how you sleep, what you do each day, what activities you enjoy, what your sex life is like, and if you smoke or drink alcohol. Be open and honest. It will help your doctor to better understand your medical conditions and figure out the best treatment choices for you.
Any Life Changes?
Sometimes things happen in life that are sad or stressful. Your doctor needs to know about any life changes that have occurred since your last visit because they can affect your health. Examples of life changes are divorce, death of a loved one, or changing where you live.
Your list should include all your life changes but does not need to go into detail. It can be short like "had to sell home and move in with daughter."
Any Other Medical Encounters?
Also, write down and tell your doctor if you had to go to the emergency room, stay in the hospital or see a different doctor, such as a specialist, since your last visit. It may be helpful to bring that doctor's contact information.
What Else to Bring
Bring your insurance cards, names and phone numbers of your other doctors, and the phone number of the pharmacy you use. Also, bring your medical records if your doctor does not have them.

If you have dizzy spells or find it difficult to maintain balance, you may want to investigate why. No matter your age, balance problems and dizziness can have multiple causes, and if left untreated, can lead to frightful falls.
Anyone at any age can fall, but falls for adults ages 65 and older can be more dangerous, causing fractured hips, head injuries, severe bruises and lacerations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year falls affect one in three adults age 65 or older. If you are 75 or older, you are four to five times more likely to be admitted to a long-term care facility for a year or longer than those age 65 to 74 who fall.
According to Salem Hospital’s Regional Rehabilitation Center Physical Therapist Cathy Kosboth, “As you age, changes in muscle strength, decreased joint flexibility, impaired vision, medications and changes in body shape can affect your balance.”
Fortunately, steps can be taken to help prevent falls and maintain your independence.
1. Exercise regularly to improve leg strength and flexibility. Yoga and Tai Chi are particularly good for improving balance.
2. Watch your alcohol intake. More than two drinks per day can cause unsteadiness.
3. Consult your physician about your medications. Many medications can cause dizziness or equilibrium problems.
Do not go off medication(s) without first consulting with your doctor.
4. Have your vision checked every year. Wear the correct prescription.
5. Eliminate possible hazards at home that could trigger a fall. Remove clutter, be sure to have ample lighting, put non-slip strips or rubber mats in bathtubs and showers, store frequently used items in easy-to-reach locations and tack down area-rug edges.
“Often, people who fall develop a fear of falling, even if they didn’t incur a serious injury,” said Kosboth. “In addition, many people don’t tell their physician about falls. This fear can lead to less activity, affecting physical fitness and actually increasing an individual’s risk of falling.”
If you have had two or more falls in six months, or are experiencing dizziness or nausea and vomiting with movement, ask your physician for a referral to vestibular therapy.
The Salem Hospital Regional Rehabilitation Center’s certified vestibular therapists have sophisticated evaluation and treatment systems to accurately assess balance problems and provide optimal therapy.

g Housing Definitions:Adult Day Care Programs offer a protective setting during the day, for those who cannot be left alone due to health care and social needs. The structured program within a community setting offers: socialization, planned activities, care services, companionship and meals. Adult Day Care provides daytime respite for the caregiver who typically works, needs time for other responsibilities, or simply to take a break. Some programs are designed for older adults with dementia and/or physical limitations. Programs through senior housing communities that are listed in this guide must be able to accept non-residents to be included.
Adult Care Homes or Family Care Homes are private residences that provide a home-like setting, and serve 5 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions, such as personal care, housekeeping and activities and group meals. There are three levels of Adult Foster Care Home licenses. The classification system is based on level of care the Adult Foster Home may provide to residents who live in the home as well as the experience and training of the providers and their ability to assist residents with: personal hygiene, mobility, eating, dressing, toileting, and behavior management. Residents may require very light assistance or may be dependent with several care needs; it is best to ask individual locations for their specific policies and license.
Assisted Living Communities are State-regulated rental properties where six or more residents may reside. Care assistance is available, including: medication management, bathing, dressing, toileting and eating. Apartments must be fully self-contained private living units with a lockable door, private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities. The fee schedule is regular monthly rent along with additional fees for specific services and amenities. Assisted living communities are best suited for individuals who want to remain as independent as possible and who are able to direct their own care.
CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) are communities that include a continuum of care with independent living, assisted living, residential care and skilled nursing services all on one campus, allowing individuals to live within the same community as their needs progress through the spectrum of care. They typically offer the full selection of amenities associated with retirement living. An endowment fee in addition to a monthly maintenance fee can be expected.
Independent Living Communities provide residents with an independent living setting without the burden of home ownership. Typically, residency is established on a monthly rental basis. Residents live in fully equipped private apartments or cottages from studios to large two-bedroom units that may be rental-assisted or market-rate depending on the community. Amenities and hospitality services such as housekeeping, linen service, transportation and social and recreational activities may be included, provided for an additional charge, or may not be available at all. These communities do not provide assistance with activities of daily living or personal care.

Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF) are nursing facilities that are most appropriate for people who need 24 hour medical oversight in a structured setting. Most residents must share their room, but residents are allowed to bring personal items to encourage a more home-like atmosphere. Additionally, nursing facilities offer residents planned social, recreational and spiritual activities.
Memory Care or Dementia Communities offer or provide care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia in a home-like environment. These communities, must receive an endorsement and are governed by additional regulations that are specifically intended to support individuals with dementia, including: a secure building that alerts staff if a resident has exited, a secure outdoor area that provides outdoor freedom safely, interior finishes that are non-glare and well lit, and visual contrasts between floors, walls and doorways. Alzheimer’s units must also have programs, which include: gross motor, self care, social, craft, sensory enhancement and outdoor activities.
Rehabilitation & Therapy is treatment for an injury, illness, or pain with the goal of restoring function, including nursing and therapy services. Rehab is ordered by a physician and services are provided by nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Examples include working with a physical therapist to help you walk and with an occupational therapist to help you get dressed.
Residential Care Facilities provide housing and supportive services for six or more people who do not require 24 hour nursing care. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the level of care provided and the size and amenities of each apartment. Accommodations are typically in a home like setting and may range from a shared bedroom with common bathroom, to private apartments with kitchenette and private bathroom. Monthly fees vary greatly based on unit amenities and care services. Many residential care facilities specialize in caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Respite Care is short term relief for family caregivers to take a break from the caregiving responsibilities and allows for a healthier and better quality of life for both the caregiver and care receiver. Respite services include: companionship, personal care, recreational activities and security. Respite care can be provided as short stay or for a longer period that allows the family caregiver to go on vacation or a business trip. Longer duration respite care is generally found at select senior housing communities although some Companion services may provide this service in the home.
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) is a State-licensed facility that provides a safe, therapeutic environment for individuals who require rehabilitative care. Skilled Nursing Facilities offer 24 hour skilled nursing care and medical services by licensed nurses and support professionals. This is the highest level of care that can be provided that is not a hospitalization. Additionally, nursing facilities offer residents planned social, recreational and spiritual activities.

Licensing requirements for assisted living facilities vary by state and can be known by as many as 26 different names including: residential care, board and care, congregate care, and personal care. A complete list of each state’s terminology and state regulations can be found at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/daltcp/Reports/04alcom.htm
Choosing A Community
A good match between a community and a resident’s needs depends as much on the philosophy and services as it does on the quality of care.
The following suggestions can help you get started in your search for a safe, comfortable and appropriate assisted living community:
What are your future needs and how will the community meet those needs?
Is the community close to family and friends? Are there any shopping centers or other businesses nearby (within walking distance)?
Visit each community more than once, sometimes unannounced.
Visit at meal times, sample the food, and observe the quality.
Observe interactions among residents and staff and ask questions.
Ask about social, recreational, and spiritual activities.
Ask about the type and frequency of staff trainings.
Review state licensing reports.
These steps should also be considered:
Contact your state’s long-term care ombudsman to see if any complaints have recently been filed against the assisted living community you are interested in. In many states, the ombudsman checks on conditions at assisted living units and nursing homes.
If the assisted living community is connected to a nursing home, ask for information about it, too. (Information on nursing homes can be found on the Medicare website at http://www.medicare.gov/nhcompare/home.asp).

Colder weather can weaken immune systems, and lower our defenses to attack. In addition, the return of school for children and college students creates the perfect environment for the sharing and spreading of contagious diseases.
Flu Season Facts Peak season is November to March.
5-20% percent of Americans will get the flu.
More than 200,000 people are hospitalized annually in the US.
Can be contagious up to one day before symptoms appear, then up to 5-7 days after symptoms.
Responsible for between 3,000 to 49,000 deaths annually since the 1970’s.
Influenza- also know as “the flu” is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. It can cause mild to severe illness, and can sometimes lead to death. Transmission is person to person by droplets from coughing, or sneezing. Symptoms include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, and runny or stuffy nose. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with compromised immune systems, are at high risk for serious flu complications. Complications include dehydration, electrolyte imbalances and pneumonia. Pneumonia is responsible for over 1 million admissions to hospitals annually.
Prevention Strategies 1. Get immunized! Flu vaccine- See your
doctor to see if you can take the flu vaccine. Vaccines are prepared every year to provide the maximum protection for that year. Usually lasts 6 months to a year.
Pneumovax- Individuals over age 65 should also be immunized with pneumovax. It consists of a mixture that protects against the 23 most prevalent or invasive pneumococcal types of Streptococcus pneumonias, including the six serotypes that most frequently cause invasive drug-resistant pneumococcal infections streptococcus pneumonia.
2. Antivirals- If you get the flu, talk to your doctor about new anti-viral medications such as Tamiflu which can shorten the length of the illness, and lessen your symptoms.
3. Hand Hygiene- wash your hands frequently. Assume that viruses and bacteria are on every door handle, counter top, and hand rail in public places…because they are! Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, or use alcohol based hand sanitizers frequently. Carry one with you. Cough into sleeve or tissue, and not your hands.
4. Stay away! If you become sick, stay home to protect others. If you know someone is sick, stay away. You can visit later when they are healthy.

g Helping the Person with Alzheimer's CommunicatePeople with Alzheimer's and other dementias have more difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions; they also have more trouble understanding others. Here are some ways to help the person with Alzheimer's communicate:
Be Patient and Supportive
Let the person know you're listening and trying to understand. Show the person that you care about what he or she is saying and be careful not to interrupt.
Offer Comfort and Reassurance
If he or she is having trouble communicating, let the person know that it's okay. Encourage the person to continue to explain his or her thoughts.
Avoid Criticizing or Correcting
Don't tell the person what he or she is saying is incorrect. Instead, listen and try to find the meaning in what is being said. Repeat what was said if it helps to clarify the thought.
Avoid Arguing
If the person says something you don't agree with, let it be. Arguing usually only makes things worse — often heightening the level of agitation for the person with dementia.
Offer a Guess
If the person uses the wrong word or cannot find a word, try guessing the right one. If you understand what the
person means, you may not need to give the correct word. Be careful not to cause unnecessary frustration.
Encourage Unspoken Communication
If you don't understand what is being said, ask the person to point or gesture.
Limit Distractions
Find a place that's quiet. The surroundings should support the person's ability to focus on his or her thoughts.
Focus on Feelings, Not Facts
Sometimes the emotions being expressed are more important than what is being said. Look for the feelings behind the words. At times, tone of voice and other actions may provide clues.
Be aware of your feelings and attitude — you may be communicating through your tone of voice. Use positive, friendly facial expressions and nonverbal communication. For communication tips from other caregivers, join www.alzconnected.org, our message boards and online support community. Every day, caregivers like you share new ideas and encourage one another.
