Hungry for Help: Food Resources Are a Call Away A frequent call into an Area Agency on Aging is for food resources, whether at a senior center, home delivered meals, or eligibility for food assistance programs such as SNAP to purchase groceries or food pantries. In Alabama there are 13 regional Area Agencies on Aging to call for help, to find the one serving your county, call 1-800-AGE-LINE (2435463) or visit www.alabamaageline. gov. In South Alabama, you can call locally at 251-706-4680. For other states, call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or visit www. eldercare.acl.gov.

Alabama has over 350 senior nutrition centers offering persons age 60 and older hot meals at congregate settings and home delivered meals. There is no charge for the meals, but donations are encouraged. When there is no senior center nearby, call to see if a local church Meals on Wheels program is

12 ALABAMA GULF COAST – SPRING – SUMMER 2021

available or to request frozen home delivered meals. While eligibility has expanded during the pandemic, normally home delivered meals are limited to those unable to cook or without someone available to prepare meals, and are homebound and cannot travel to senior centers. Food assistance to purchase tax free groceries is provided through the SNAP program. Alabama and several states have made it much easier for older adults age 60 and over to apply for and receive SNAP benefits. An office visit is no longer required, there is a self-declaration of unearned income, a standard medical deduction, and receiving benefits is confidential and easy using a debit/EBT card. The staff at the Area Agencies on Aging in Alabama are available to help with the application process. Groceries are also available through food pantries. To find the food pantry closest to you in South Alabama, contact 251-653-1617 or www.feedingthegulfcoast.org. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by the South Alabama Regional Planning Commission, www.agingsouthalabama.org.

Successfully Navigating Visitation at the Nursing Home While Alabama has continued to relax restrictions on nursing home during COVID visits during the pandemic, residents continue to be isolated from their loved ones, causing depression and confusion. This inevitably leads to marked physical decline and eventually even death as the effects of the pandemic drag on.

Know Your Rights As You Seek Entry! First, schedule a visit - do not expect to walk in unannounced. Remember, the nursing homes employees are suffering from overwork and fatigue. Try to be considerate but firm in scheduling visits. Second, try to keep in touch in the interim by visiting by facetime and/or window visits while waiting for direct contact. Make sure that the visits do more good than harm. For those with more advanced dementia, often the window visits may raise their level of alarm and agitation and may not have the desired effect. You may need to adapt for those with sight or hearing issues-maybe make a message of love in large letters on posterboard? Third, get your vaccination. The CDC actually controls the parameters of the visitation issue so it is not the state’s call regarding visitation- a lot more goes into the actual issue of visitation. On March 10, 2021, the CDC started relaxing the

20 ALABAMA GULF COAST – SPRING – SUMMER 2021

visitation rules more so having the shot can assist in visitation now. If the shot is not for you, don’t fret, you can’t be turned away entirely but it could delay visitation. Fourth, send regular cards and letters but also think outside the box. How about special deliveries to let your loved one know they are not forgotten. Flowers are nice but also you can have stuffed animals, fruit, clothes, cookies, candy, treats and all sorts of things delivered. Include a personal note and request that an aide read it to your family member or arrange a call and you can reinforce your message of love. Finally, if the facility is on covid lockdown and still not permitting visitors, consider a compassionate visit request. Find out how physically and mentally they are doing and, particularly if there is decline noted, request you be permitted to go in under this exception provided by the CDC. Continue keeping up regular contact no matter the circumstance, I am hopeful that soon things will be “back to normal.”~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Kyla G.

Not Everyone Has Someone, and They May Need You! Imagine being alone in the world. Think about being elderly and isoVolunteer Guardian lated, or about being a Veteran who Program has served our country and is not living in dignity, or about not being able to make basic decisions that impact your everyday quality of life.

Currently, there are Mobile County citizens who are declared incapacitated, or unable to communicate decisions concerning their health or safety, by Mobile County Probate Court. These special citizens - or Consumers are literally rescued by the amazing Volunteer Guardians. A Guardianship is a legal relationship in which a Guardian is appointed by Mobile County Probate Court to make decisions for those incapacitated or unable to communicate decisions concerning their health or safety. The Volunteer Guardian Program (VGP) is the last line of defense against homelessness and worsening quality of life. The Volunteer Guardian Program (VGP) is a partnership of the Via Health, Fitness and Enrichment Center, Mobile County Probate Court, the Mobile

Currently, there are more than 60 amazing Volunteer Guardians active in the program. They range in age and include college students, homemakers, nurses, pastors and preachers, Certified Nursing Assistants, social workers and even active military. The Via Center is

They are 21 and older, have computer access, transportation, the ability to learn basic legal and medical information, can complete a background check and are able to spare at least 4-6 hours per month to make a vulnerable citizen’s life better. Testimonials from Volunteer Guardians “I became a Volunteer Guardian because every person deserves to maintain their dignity. I want to serve others by making sure they

are treated as if they are a member of my family.” — Denise “I wanted to become a volunteer, but I really wanted it to be meaningful. As a Guardian, you are filling in for someone who has no one else in the world. It’s a wonderful experience, and I have found my place.” — Martha For more information on the Volunteer Guardian Program Contact: Lynn Hudson, Volunteer Guardian Program Coordinator Phone: 251.470.5222 E-mail: lhudson@viamobile.org Web: www.viamobile.org: What We Do/Volunteer Guardian Program VGP HOTLINE: 251.219.8477

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

HOSPICE Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with care at home or in a healthcare facility. The goal is to assist patients to live the last stage of their lives with dignity. The focus is on comfort rather than treatment. Services Provided:

Provided in a skilled nursing facility when the symptoms cannot be managed elsewhere. The skilled nursing facility must have 24-hour R.N. coverage as deemed by Medicare guidelines. General in-patient care is usually short in duration. This level of care is usually due to symptoms which are out of control and more intensive nursing services are required. If an individual is at a care facility, room and board are covered by hospice during this period.

HOSPICE CARE DEFINITIONS

Hospice Care Definitions continued GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS – Grief is the normal and universal reaction humans have to the loss of those they love. When your loved one passes, you may go through a period of bereavement and experience grief. Many provide Grief Groups that meet and address issues of grief in a supportive group setting. IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting. PAIN PUMPS AVAILABLE – Many patients have their symptoms controlled through oral medications. Some situations require a pain pump where medications are administered through an IV pump. If this is the situation, inquire with the hospice RN case manager to see if pain pumps are available through their agency. PALLIATIVE CARE – Specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness – whatever the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

78 ALABAMA GULF COAST – SPRING – SUMMER 2021

PCP-OVERSIGHT – Can the hospice patient retain their own primary care physician in addition to the hospice medical director? All hospice organizations require a medical director, a physician to oversee their care. Many times the hospice medical director will work in conjunction with the patient’s own physician. The patient, family and hospice team can determine which physicians will oversee the care and certify the hospice eligibility criteria. PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare. VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies. If a patient is a Veteran, but is a Medicare Recipient, they may choose any Medicare approved hospice agency for their care. ~

AFFORDABLE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING

Nationwide Shortage of Affordable A nationwide shortage of affordable Senior Housing senior housing exists that presents a challenge to meet the needs of older adults with very low incomes. According to the National Council on Aging, more than 25 million Americans aged 60-plus are living at or below 250% of the federal poverty level (FPL) of $29,425 per year per single person. A 2016 Bipartisan Policy Center report noted, “The current supply of housing that is affordable to the nation’s lowest-income seniors is woefully inadequate. As more low-income Americans enter the senior ranks, this supply shortage — currently measured in millions of units — will become even more acute.” Since 1991, AHEPA Affordable Housing Management Company (AMC) has been a committed provider of safe, dignified affordable independent senior living and affordable assisted living communities for our nation’s vulnerable elderly and disabled population. A mission-driven organization, AMC has developed and manages 91 affordable independent senior living communities in 20 states that are administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 202 program. In Mobile, and in the surrounding area, 13 AHEPA Senior Apartments communities offer very low-income seniors over the age of 62 residential apartment-home living with voluntary supportive services they may need to continue to live independently as they age. The services may include meal

90 ALABAMA GULF COAST – SPRING – SUMMER 2021

services, case management, transportation assistance, public benefits programs enrollment assistance, and fitness and wellness programs, among others. All these services can be viewed as health care intervention at a reduced cost as compared long-term care services. Preventing nursing home care, emergency room visits, or hospitalizations can lead to savings to Medicare and Medicaid programs. Furthermore, our residents’ health and safety throughout the pandemic has been our priority. Our participation in the CDC’s Pharmacy Partnership for Long-term Care Program ensured our residents would have priority access to the Covid-19 vaccine. The announcement in January by HUD that it will make $150 million available to support the development of new affordable multifamily rental housing through grants administered by the HUD 202 program is an important step toward addressing the affordable housing shortage and well-being for very low-income seniors. However, it is only a step and many more need to be taken. With this opportunity to grow our mission, AMC pledges to be there for our nation’s vulnerable seniors as we have been for Mobile’s for over three decades. For more information, please visit www.ahepamgmt.com. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by AHEPA Affordable Housing Management Company President and CEO Steve Beck. See ad on page 91.
