Stop Digging By JoAnn Kunkle

"If You Find Yourself in a Hole, Stop Digging">
The quote is from Will Rogers, a simple talking
philosopher, who just asked us to look honestly at
ourselves, look around and appreciate what we see.

In preparing for a community course on interacting with
a dependent loved one to keep them stimulated and
positive, I was struck by the many technical supports
available and the real lack of hands on, relationship
builders for caregivers and the person they love.

All-Night Care for Alzheimer’s Restless Minds

Mr. Pomeranz at the , Hebrew Home at Riverdale, Took the day program and ran it at night. The activities mirror those done during the day: arts, crafts, exercise, and holistic remedies like meditation and pet therapy.

{quote} Participants are fetched from their homes by vans and spend 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. painting, potting plants, dancing and talking — or, for those immobilized by their disease, relaxing amid music, massage and twinkling lights. The patients rest as they need, for a few minutes or a few hours, and return home the next morning fed, showered and, usually, tuckered out. {end quote}

It takes just one person to encourage setting up Night-Care respite for those with dementia.

If YOU are using or involved with a assisted living facility, senior services, day-care, caregivers, senior center, or area agency discuss Night Care programs with your peers.

ACM Care 5 Tips to Dementia Proof Your Home

 Electronics with Automatic Shut-off. These are great for home
safety in general, but of extra importance when someone in the home has
memory loss. Electronics and appliance manufacturers are incorporating
an automatic shut-off feature in to an increasing number of products
ranging from humidifiers to Christmas tree lights. The ones you might
find most useful for a loved one with dementia include a curling iron,
iron, and coffee pot. It they still cook, a product called CookStop can
actually turn off a pot or pan that they have left on the stove too
long.

How Joint Bank Accounts and Property Affect Medicaid Eligibility - AgingCare.com





When considering trying to qualify for Medicaid, many questions about jointly-held assets arise:

Should I re-title my house from joint names with my spouse into my name alone?

If I add my son's name to my bank account, will that affect my ability to qualify for Medicaid?

What do POD, TOD and JTWROS mean?

For
the purposes of Medicaid, there are two different instances when the
exact way an asset is titled can affect a family's finances: when a
family member applies for Medicaid, and following the death of a family
member who was covered by Medicaid.
