Your Parent’s Secret Life….What You Don’t Know Can Hurt Them!

As your parents age, it becomes increasingly important to know more about them than ever before. This need is met with a sticky web of parent and child roles as well as privacy versus intrusion issues! How does an adult child begin to navigate these treacherous waters? Very slowly if the situation allows, however some children find that due to a medical emergency they and their family are forced into reality and they need to make many decisions with very little information.Starting conversations with our parents should begin with the expression that you want to see that their desires are followed but first you need to have a road map. You may use others as examples of how things went well or did not go well and how it made you wonder about your own parents wishes. Don't wait for the perfect moment or words, there are no such things. Just start small and somewhere. Remind them that the goal is to maintain their independence.Here are some topics that are critical for adult children to have with their parents:What are their medications, doctors, Medical and financial Power of attorney, housing safety renovations/equipment, services available at home, housing options, Medicare, Medicaid, where are the important papers, and do not resuscitate orders.The following are topics that adult children will find very helpful to know something about: what is normal aging versus something that requires a medical evaluation, legal issues, what to expect in transitioning from hospital to home, how to be an advocate for your parents, how family dynamics play into assisting with their parents, care giving and the resources available, and dementia care assessment and care options.There are many information sites on the web but if you are looking for a professional that could help you one on one, you may wish to seek out a social worker either at the local Department of Human Services, nursing home social worker, or a Geriatric Care Manager. These folks can help with assessing your family's particular needs and advise you on your local community's resources.Caring for our aging relatives in this ever changing high tech medical model world is very challenging. You will be able to prevent some poor out comes if you took the time now to find out more while you are not being faced with a crisis.Editors Note: This article was submitted by Elder Quest a Geriatric Care Management company.

Using Assistive Technology in a 21ST Century Virtual World

The Center for Independence (CFI) has been serving western slope people with disabilities, including seniors, since 1982. We receive our funds from contracts with state and federal agencies which allow us to provide case management and demonstration services for free. These last few months have showed us that CFI and other human services need to change our service model from facility based to community based outreach. Were deeply concerned about the isolation and personal impact of COVID-19 on people with pre-existing conditions. The service model of the future will be both virtual and face to face. The obvious gap in this design is access to reliable and usable technology. Smart phones and tablets will be needed more and more to request medical appointments, order food, inquire about pensions, insurance and disability benefits, and communicate with distant family members.CFI can help. We have specialists who can demonstrate apps that enhance visual clarity on a tablet. We have screen reading technology, captioned telephones, and memory supports like Echo and Alexa which can record appointments, shopping lists and repeat telephone numbers. There is a world of opportunity for public communication and personal supports available right now for little to no cost.While CFI is still under limitations from public health, it will not always be so. We will be looking for ways to add more technology services in the months ahead as well as finding funders that will pay for tablets and smart phones. We want to be able to hold peer support meeting again on virtual platforms. To do so means that we will be inviting people who need these tools to remain safe and still be independent in the community to contact us to create a plan for self-sufficiency.COVID-19 has been a wake-up call to us all that the world is a 21st Century operation and we need 21st Century tools and training to continue to have seamless services. Fortunately, we at CFI believe in life-long learning and that there is a solution to the barriers that have arisen. Call us at the numbers listed in our ads or at 800-613-2271 and we will see what we can put together for you.Editors Note: This article was submitted by Linda Taylor, Executive Director at the Center for Independence.

Safety Checks Room by Room

There are many things that we can do to improve the safety for ourselves and for our loved ones.As we walk through the home there are many things to consider.In general, fall hazards can happen in any room. Start with eliminating various trip/fall hazards such as clutter in all sizes, stacks of items on the floor, throw rugs, extension cords in walkways, etc. Even some pets can be a problem as we age, especially if someone is to trip over them or, if the animal has not been trained to not jump up on people.Next, in the kitchen, consider moving items of daily use to lower more easily accessible shelves or even the counter. Heavy pots and pans should be replaced with lighter/smaller ones. Gas stove tops often pose many safety issues for the elderly. Please also assess carefully that other nearby items or loose-fitting clothing will not be a fire issue. A good fire extinguisher is important to have here (as well as in a back bedroom.) The refrigerator is one place the family often neglects to inspect. Check expiration dates and be aware of any odors. As we age good lighting is very important and must be sufficient here and in every room of the home.The garage again needs good light, clear walk ways, and hand rails on all steps.Bedroom safety includes a clear path to bathroom and good lighting. No slip rugs. There are many adaptations available to the bed for side rails, pillows for elevation, comfort and skin care. Night lights are helpful here. And, dont forget to check the batteries in smoke alarms monthly and replace those batteries at least yearly.In the bathroom there are fortunately many adaptive equipment pieces one can and probably should add to their shower/tub, toilet, hand rails, and light fixtures.Timers on lights can also be very helpful in the living room. Proper locks on doors and windows also should be checked.Many of these items can be added or repaired with minimal cost and time. However, any investment here will be returned many times over in the safety of our loved ones. So, give their complete surroundings a close inspection, and every year, do it again to continually compensate for any additional changes that need to be made.Editors Note: This article was submitted by: Paula McCormick MSW LSW Licensed Geriatric Social Worker with Columbine Caregivers and Elder Quest Care Management Services.

The Power of Your Words

Words, you see them on paper, you hear them used by family, friends, and foe. But what do they mean? Well they mean whatever YOU believe they mean. WHAT? Yes, you give the meaning to words which is what causes much confusion and conflict.Let me give you an example: You have a definition that youve given the word such as marriage. Maybe you have an idealistic view so to you that word means, a committed relationship, honor, support, companion, someone who always has your back. But, your experiences in that area of life are far from the idealistic. Lets say that you married someone who cheated on you, took money, insulted you or hurt your feelings. So now your definition is all mixed up. The part of you that wants to believe in the ideal versus the experiences that has colored your definition. You no longer have the same definition.In life we experience many hurts. Some of those experiences we have defined as mean, hateful, vengeful, hurtful and we have written off those people. But what if, how you perceived what they did or said was not the intent that they intended? I watched several conversations between my Mother and Stepfather that was destructive to their relationship. He would say something, she would hear what he said, she would put her spin on it, and the upset was on. I knew what he meant by what he said but the same words did not MEAN the same thing to my Mother. Sadly, towards the end of his life they were not close and they both had damaged the relationship based on different definitions of words.So, remember, words are powerful, how are you meaning them and how is someone else hearing them? We do have the option of changing our definitions which also shifts our relationships, not only with a partner, but how we see ourselves, money, success, exercise and more. Redefining words helps us redefine our lives and experiences.Editors Note: This article was submitted by Jodie MacTavish of Healthful Transformations.
