Warning: D O N ’ T T R Y T H I S AT H O M E Oak Smoked Tenderloin with a robust cabernet. Black Diamond Buffalo Enchiladas with a super Texan sangiovese. Pecan Pan Seared Rainbow Trout with a Hill Country viognier. Once you’ve had a taste of the Cabernet Grill, you’ll find reasons to return again and again. Pair the largest Texas wine list with a creative chef and you get an experience that’s simply impossible to duplicate. Add the casual yet elegant atmosphere, and you’ll agree — it’s dangerously addictive.

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.
24
www.SRGserv.com
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.

Ingredients 4 tablespoons Maker’s Mark bourbon, divided 1/2 cup dried cherries unsalted butter (for the pan) 4 large eggs

Directions In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the cherries and 2 tablespoons bourbon. Microwave until hot, about 30 seconds.

Whisk in the half-and-half and remaining 2 tablespoons bourbon until smooth. Add the bread and gently fold until evenly mixed. Spread half of the bread mixture in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cherries with their soaking bourbon evenly on top and then cover with the remaining bread mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.

Perfect Choice HD is NOT a hearing aid. It is a Personal Sound Amplification Product (PSAP). Hearing aids can only be sold by an audiologist or a licensed hearing instrument specialist following hearing tests and fitting appointments. Once the audiologist had you tested and fitted, you would have to pay as much as $5000 for the product. Personal Sound Amplification Products use advanced digital processing to amplify the frequencies of human speech. Thanks to the efforts of a doctor who leads a renowned hearing institute, this product is
manufactured in an efficient production process that enables us to make it available at an affordable price. Try it for yourself with our exclusive home trial. Some people need hearing aids but many just want the extra boost in volume that a PSAP gives them. We want you to be happy with Perfect Choice HD, so we are offering to let you try it for yourself. Call now, and you’ll find out why so many satisfied seniors are now enjoying their Perfect Choice HD, hearing their grandchildren and what the world has to say. Call today!

Take the Stress Out of Finding Long-Term Care Services
NEW TOLL-FREE NUMBER
by JEFF CARMACK | Texas Health and Human Services
W
ith the rapidly aging Baby Boomer cohort—the so-called “Silver Tsunami”—comes another great wave, the need for long-term care. Fortunately, there’s a service that makes it easier for Texans to find it. The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) launched a toll-free number, 1-855-937-2372, that connects people with trained professionals who can assess callers’ needs and put them in touch with long-term service providers in their area. How big is this issue? The latest U.S. Census data show that the aging population in Texas is growing fast—Texas expects its 3 million 65-plus population to more than double to 7.5 million by 2040. Additionally, approximately 40 percent of Texans have some type of disability that may require long-term care. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that 70 percent of people over the age of 65 will need some type of care before the end of their life. And the Family Caregiver Alliance says about 45 million Americans are already providing that care for an aging family member.
66
www.SRGserv.com
With one phone call, people can now handle a task that once took days or even weeks. • The job of finding services for this population often falls to the “sandwich generation”—those who take care of aging parents while also supporting children. This new toll-free service will make that job a lot easier. • Callers will enter the ZIP Code corresponding to where they need services; they will be routed to one of 22 aging and disability resource centers (ADRC) for assistance. ADRC staffers are experts on the ins and outs of state and federal benefits for those who might need long-term care. • Through this toll-free number, DADS can help those who already qualify for Medicaid or Medicare, as well as those who need help in determining their eligibility, connect with long-term care providers. • Texans who are older, have a disability, or are working as caregivers, can get the help they need faster and more efficiently than ever before. What Is Long-Term Care? Long-term care is kind of what it sounds like—services that you will receive for a long time. Sometimes services can be provided in your home. Other times you may get help in a facility, such as a nursing home. Long-term care includes things like: • Help with monitoring your health or taking medication. • Help with bathing, dressing or using the bathroom. • Help with preparing meals or getting meals delivered. • Help with cleaning or maintaining your home. • Help with getting to and from medical appointments. • Providing a break (also called respite care) for the people who care for you.

Home Care vs Home Health Care How can I determine if home care is necessary? When self-care at home becomes difficult and/or family caregivers are not available to assist, home care may be the answer. Home care often relieves family members of basic caregiving functions and makes it possible to spend quality time, rather than the functional caregiving time. Home care is often easier and faster than moving to an institutional care setting and allows the senior to stay at home in familiar surroundings. What is home health care? When the need is for more than home and personal care, a home health care agency may be required. Home health care provides skilled medical services (such as administration and adjustment of medication levels, monitoring and dressing of wounds, etc.) in the home by trained medical personnel. Home health care is always ordered and supervised by a physician. What is home care? Simply put, home care is non-medical, personal assistance provided in the home. Home care may include help with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. It may include a wide range of services: taking and recording vital signs, assistance in the bathroom, light housekeeping, meal preparation, companionship, grocery shopping and pharmacy errands, home safety supervision, medication reminders, bill-paying, laundry, and transportation. Will my insurance cover the costs? Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances are sources of payment for receiving home and home health care. Home Healthcare services are typically medically necessary. They are paid for by Medicare or other health insurance, and have been ordered by a physician. Private duty home care services are typically paid for privately, or using long-term care insurance, reverse mortgage proceeds, or Veterans aid and attendance pension benefits, or some combination of any of these programs.

Eat Right, Exercise: Rx for All Ages
W
e’ve all heard about eating wisely and our diet’s effect on our health. We’re told to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, limit our consumption of fried foods, cut back on salt and sugar, and get a reasonable amount of exercise. But does a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition work for seniors? Will a diet that suits a 30-year-old work as well for a person twice as old? Dr. Robin Eickhoff is a board-certified family practitioner and WellMed Medical Director in San Antonio. WellMed, a physician-led company that provides healthcare to people who are eligible for Medicare, partners with the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) to promote the DADS Age Well, Live Well program. Age Well, Live Well helps local communities prepare for the growing number of aging Baby Boomers to help them stay healthy and active longer. Eickhoff says that, for the general population, eating healthy and exercising are appropriate for all ages. “I wouldn’t recommend anything different for my healthy seniors versus my younger patients,” Eickhoff says. “For the general population it is all about eating healthy—fresh fruits and vegetables and a little bit of lean protein, plus lots of whole grains. And, of course, I want them to include regular exercise in their daily routine.”
78
www.SRGserv.com
Eating Habits and Nutrition Eickhoff says that our sense of smell declines as we age, and that this can affect our sense of taste, which in turn can make food less appealing. Additionally, some medications can affect the way food tastes. When food isn’t appealing, seniors may suffer from poor nutrition. To make food more appealing, Eickhoff says that seniors can boost the taste, smell, sight and feel of foods by using herbs, spices and lemon juice—not just salt or sugar—to make foods more appealing. She also recommends foods that look good and foods that have a variety of textures and temperatures. However, she adds that it is also true when many older adults say they just aren’t hungry. Many factors influence appetite, including digestive problems, certain medications, depression or loneliness. To encourage eating and appetite, she recommends keeping portions small, allowing plenty of time to eat, having smaller meals more often, playing music at meal time, eating with friends, and increasing physical activity. Poor nutrition at any age causes complications; however as we age we also need to consider that an unhealthy diet can cause a weakened immune system, lowered energy level and chronic health problems such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis. Exercise and Seniors As we age, our metabolism inevitably slows down. Many older people are not as active as they once were, and this means they need fewer calories to provide the energy they need. However, Eickhoff recommends that seniors stay active and exercise regularly. Ask For Help Eickhoff suggests that any questions about diet and nutrition—whether about one’s own diet or that of an older loved one—should be addressed by a physician.

Need Long-term Care? DADS Can help
by JEFF CARMACK | Texas Health and Human Services
Most of us don’t like to think about long-term care but there’s a good chance that, sooner or later, we’ll need it. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 70 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will need long-term care services at some point in their lives. If you or someone you care about needs long-term care, Texas Health and Human Services can help. The agency offers a wealth of information to connect you to resources, healthcare providers and services that help you live healthier. VISIT the website at www.dads.state.tx.us. Click “Help For Texans” and find information on services for people with medical or physical disabilities, intellectual or developmental disabilities, for older adults, and for caregivers who need a break from their duties. When you go to this page you can start the application process that will let you know if you qualify for services. CALL 1-800-252-9240 for information. Although you may not qualify for services, HHS can still steer you in the right direction. The 28 area agencies on aging offer help to Texans age 60 and older, their family members and caregivers to locate and access local services, including benefits counseling, legal assistance, care coordination, caregiver support services, in-home support and the ombudsman program. DIAL 2-1-1 Texas, a program operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, connects Texans with the services they need. Accurate, well-organized and easy-to-find information from more than 60,000 state and local health and human services programs is available by phone and online.

Alzheimer’s disease presents many challenges, and communication is a big one. Despite the challenges, you can communicate effectively with a loved one who has Alzheimer’s. Consider these tips provided by the Mayo Clinic staff: • Speak clearly. Introduce yourself. Speak in a clear, straightforward manner. • Show respect. Avoid secondary baby talk and diminutive phrases, such as “good girl.” Don’t assume that your loved one can’t understand you, and don’t talk about your loved one as if he or she weren’t there.
HOUSING: Information
Tips for Effective Alzheimer’s Communication
• Stay present. Maintain eye contact, and stay near your loved one so that he or she will know that you’re listening and trying to understand. • Avoid distractions. Communication may be difficult—if not impossible— against a background of competing sights and sounds. • Keep it simple. Use short sentences and plain words. As the disease progresses, yes-no questions may work best, and only one question at a time is best. Break down requests into single steps. • Don’t interrupt. It may take longer than you expect for your loved one to process and respond. Avoid criticizing, hurrying and correcting. • Use visual cues. Sometimes gestures or other visual cues promote better understanding than words alone. Rather than simply asking if your loved one needs to use the toilet, for example, take him or her to the toilet and point to it. • Don’t argue. Your loved one’s reasoning and judgment will decline over time. To spare anger and agitation, don’t argue with your loved one. • Stay calm. Even when you’re frustrated, keep your voice gentle. Your nonverbal cues, including the tone of your voice, can send a clearer message than what you actually say.

HOUSING: Information
Finding Long-Term Care Services by JEFF CARMACK | Texas Health & Human Services
With one phone call, you can now handle a task that once took days or even weeks. • Callers will enter the ZIP Code corresponding to where they need services; they will be routed to one of 22 aging and disability resource centers (ADRC) for assistance. ADRC staffers are experts on the ins and outs of state and federal benefits for those who might need long-term care. • Through this toll-free number, DADS can help those who already qualify for Medicaid or Medicare, as well as those who need help in determining their eligibility, connect with long-term care providers. • Texans who are older, have a disability, or are working as caregivers, can get the help they need faster and more efficiently than ever before. What Is Long-Term Care? Long-term care is kind of what it sounds like—services that you will receive for a long time. Sometimes services can be provided in your home. Other times you may get help in a facility, such as a nursing home. Long-term care includes things like: • Help with monitoring your health or taking medication. • Help with bathing, dressing or using the bathroom. • Help with preparing meals or getting meals delivered. • Help with cleaning or maintaining your home. • Help with getting to and from medical appointments. • Providing a break (also called respite care) for the people who care for you. If you are older or have a disability, there may be some things you no longer can do for yourself. Call 1-855-937-2372 to talk to a trained professional who can start you on the road to getting the services you need.

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. 156
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.

Hospice
ospice care is a philosophy of care that accepts dying as a natural part of life. When death is inevitable, hospice seeks neither to hasten nor postpone it. Hospice provides care, comfort and support for persons with life-limiting conditions as well as their families.
How Does Hospice Work? Hospice care is for any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness. All hospices consider the patient and family together as the unit of care. Most reimbursement sources require a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients with both cancer and non-cancer illnesses are eligible to receive hospice care. The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or the homes of a loved one. “Home� may also be broadly construed to include services provided in nursing homes or hospitals. Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and when appropriate, helps make decisions for the hospice patient. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. 158
www.SRGserv.com
Who is the Hospice Team? Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes, at a minimum, a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers. They work together focusing on the dying patient’s needs; physical, psychological, or spiritual. The goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible until death. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient’s individual needs for pain management and symptom control. How is Hospice Paid for? Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and private insurers. If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. Who is Eligible for Medicare Hospice Benefits? Hospice care is covered under Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance). You are eligible for Medicare hospice benefits when you meet all of the following conditions: • You are eligible for Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance), and • Your doctor and the hospice medical director certify that you are terminally ill and probably have less than six months to live, and • You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare covered benefits for your terminal illness, and • You receive care from a Medicare-approved hospice program. Please note: Medicare will still pay for covered benefits for any health problems that aren’t related to your terminal illness. What Does Medicare Cover? Medicare covers these hospice services and pays nearly all of their costs: • Doctor services and Nursing care • Medical equipment (like wheelchairs or walkers) • Medical supplies (like bandages and catheters) • Drugs for symptom control and pain relief • Short-term hospital care, including respite and inpatient for pain/symptom management • Home health aide and homemaker services • Physical, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy • Social work services and Dietary counseling • Grief support to help you and your family Please note: You will only have to pay part of the cost for outpatient drugs and inpatient respite care. The Medicare Hospice Benefit Does Not Cover the Following: • Treatment intended to cure your terminal illness. You should talk with your doctor if you are thinking about potential treatment to cure your illness. • Medications not directly related to your hospice diagnosis. Hospice team Say you saw it in the Senior Resource Guide!

members will consult with the hospice physician and will inform you and your family which drugs and/or medications are covered and which ones are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit. • Room and board aren’t covered by Medicare. You may receive hospice services wherever you live, even in a nursing home, however, the Medicare Hospice Benefit does not pay for nursing home room and board. Respite Care and Medicare Respite care is care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest. As a hospice patient, you may have one person who takes care of you every day, like a family member. Sometimes your caregiver needs someone to take care of you for a short time while they do other things that need to be done. During a period of respite care, you might be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice residential facility, hospital, or nursing home. How Do I Begin Receiving Hospice? Anyone can inquire about hospice services. You or your loved one may call a local hospice and request services. The hospice staff will then contact your physician to determine if a referral to hospice is appropriate. Another way to inquire about hospice is to talk with your physician, and he or she can make a referral to hospice. Hospice can begin as soon as a ‘referral’ is made by the person’s doctor. As a hospice patient, you always have the right to stop getting hospice care and receive the “traditional” Medicare coverage you had before electing hospice. All care that you receive for your illness must be given by your hospice team. Questions to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Program • What services are provided? • What kind of support is available to the family/caregiver? • What roles do the attending physician and hospice play? • How does hospice work to keep the patient comfortable? • How are services provided after hours? • How and where does hospice provide short-term inpatient care? • Can hospice be brought into a nursing home or long-term care facility? • Are any of the staff members certified or credentialed in hospice? • Do physicians visit the patient in the home? • What is the staff to patient ratio? • Are any alternative therapies provided to manage symptoms? • What ‘extras’ does the hospice provide?

Preparing Presenting a by JOHN B. EARTHMAN
Eulogy
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.

SMASHED SWEET POTATOES Courtesy of Maker’s Mark Servings
6-8
Photography | Maker’s Mark Ingredients 1/4 cup Maker’s Mark bourbon 4–5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and large dice 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup celery, small dice 1-1/2 cups whole peeled chestnuts, roughly chopped 1 tablespoon maple syrup 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chiffonade salt and black pepper to taste
Directions In a large pot, place diced sweet potatoes and cover with cold water. Add salt to the sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Simmer the potatoes for about 25 minutes or until just tender, not too soft. Drain the potatoes until dry and place them back into the pot. Stir in the 1/2 cup of butter and Maker’s Mark bourbon while the potatoes are still hot. Potatoes will naturally mash and still hold some of their shape. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a ceramic serving dish and hold. In a sauté pan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter, then sauté the celery on a medium heat. After 2 minutes, add the chopped chestnuts and the maple syrup to the celery and cook together until incorporated. Finish the chestnuts with the sage and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the chestnut mixture over the sweet potatoes and serve. Find
